plexy a few minutes after o'clock
this afternoon and died almost instant
~ He was in the library d his resi-
dence, on Fifth Avenue, At the time
and was sitting i'll his easy chair and
conversing with Mr.. Robert Garrett,
president Of the Baltimore 4 Ohio r.
r., and up to the very moment Of the
attack was apparently in bis usual
health and spirits. He was stretched
dead on the floor at his guests feet
almost as suddenly as though his brain
had been pierced by a bullet. Since
1881, when he suffered shock Of pa
ralysis, his health had been a matter
OF almost constant solicitude with his
family, but for several months recent
ly he had been better and brighter
He frequently sdoke OF the improve
ment and was often congratulated up
on his hearty appearance, He chung
tenaciously to life and often said Of
late thai by the time he was sixty-five
he would be reiuyinated and set out
on another long life. He was sixty

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WAsHINGToN, December THE Or
ganization was very quietly and speed
lily accomplished.
The prayer called the senators to
their feet and they listened with bow
ed heads, to the Invocation Of divine
grace and graceful tribute to the
memory Of the late Vice President, by
Chaplain Huntley.
The election of the presiding officer
was accomplished without incident
Senator Edmunds' motion, for the
election Of Senator Sherman, calling
for motion by Senator Voorhees, for
the substitution OF the name Of Sena-
tor Harsis, which, being put to vote,
was lost by 80 to "a.
The election OF Mr.. Sherman follow
ed, and Senators Edmunds and Voor-
hees escorted him to the chair The
oath was administered by Senator Ed
munds, and the new president pro
tenn. took his place with as little delay
as possible, and with little preliminary
action, except the presentation OF the
credentials Of Senators Logan and
Blair, by their colleagues, and the
presentation of the annual report of
the comptroller Of the currency.
The senate adobted resolution no.
tifying the President OF its readiness
to receive any communication from
him and then took recess for half an
hour.
Immediately upon the reassemb-
ling at o'clock another half hour re-
cess was taken. Upon re-conyening
at lao the senate Immediately took
another recess hour, re-eonvening
promptly at 2.40, when the clerk OF
the house notified the senate organi-
cation OF the house and It's readiness
for business.
Senator Voorhees, stated that in
pursuance of the saddest duty OF his
career he wished to introduce the res
olutions announcing the death Of Vice
President Hendricks, and which
should remain upon the table to
be called up at some subsequent
time.
Senator Harrison moved that the
senate should adjourn out of respect
to the late Vice President, and the
adjournment was taken at 2.45

University Of Virginia In addition
to what ! have already said, it may
not be out OF place 70 say that he is a
perfectly sober man, never having tax
en- a drink OF liquor during his life, In
politics he is answering Democrat Of
the Jetfersonian school.
We think that Washington county
is entitled to the iudgship for this,
among other reasons that might be
given, there is one-fifth Of the Iitiga-
ton Of the district in the county, and
that it would be as accessible 10 the
people generally, ii not more SO than
any other county in the circuit. The
election Of Mr.. Blanchard would, we
believe, give general satisfaction, the
district would have an able, dignifed
and learned Judge, one who would i'm
partially and promptly discharge the
the duties OF the Office. We hope it
may be the pleasure OF the Legisla-
ture to confer the Office upon Mr..
Blanchard.

The New Orleans Tim,es-D Democrat
of n recent date pays Tennessee the
following beautiful but deserved COM
pliment:
No Tennesseean can view his State
exhibit without feelings Of pride and
admiration. Under the direction Of
the energetic commissioner, Louis B.
McWhirter, than whom no man is
working harder for the success OF the
Exposition, this exhibit shows re-
sources varied enough to enrich an
empire. Build a wall around Tennes-
see reaching to heaven, and she could
be independent of the rest of the
earth. Every commercial wood grown
between Maine and the tropics is rep
resented in its most attractive form.
Specimens from all the coal mines are
shown in manner best calculated to
catch the eyes. Ores from her iron
banks are piled in systematised pro-
fusion on pyramids of polished Ten
nessee timber, and set off by displays
OF copper, zinc, manganese, chalk,
limestone, mica, gold and silver. The
marble display surpasses that of all
States IN varieties and quality, as
lS5 varieties are exhibited, among
them handsome specimens from the
quarries that furnished the Lee Mon
ument in this city, as well as material
used in the Pickwick building and
our Custom House. In agriculture
she ranks with any State in field and
garden products, wheat, corn, rye oats,
barley, clover, millet, hay and all ce-
reals and grasses are neatly displayed
SO as to impress the farmer and draw
the immigrant from the colder North
western climate.
Taken all in all, Tennessee's exhib-
il is an epitome OF the State without
its wonderful scenery, and her people
are TO be congratulated on having a
commissioner so progressive and keen
~ alive to the best interests OF the
New South.

THE COMET.
Johnson City. Tenn. Dec. 10, 1895.


Col. t. II, Reeves, Of Jonesboro, has
written q letter to the Knoxville
Journal, in which he advocates the
idea that the State Republican Con-
vcntion should only nominate two
Judges for the Supreme Court and all
low the Democrats to select the other
three. Is Col Reeves with other Re-
publicans willing to apply his doctrine
here. Would they be willing to allow
Judge Hacker and Chancellor st. John
to be elected without opposition2
Such q course would evidence de-
sire on the part Of the people to take
the judiciary out Of politics. Judges
sometimes allow politics to warp their
judgment and their conduct, and as
far as possible everything that has a
tendency to partisan bias should be
removed.

The Knoxville Tribune and Bristol
Courier are frothing at the mouth and
swearin' the lawyers are tring to run
the State, and that they alone want
two conventions, while the people on
ly want one. 1t is not true that the
people of East Tennessee want but
one convention. You will not find
one man in ten up this way who does
not want two conventions, and who
does not want the judiciary removed
as lar from politics as possible. As to
lawyers, they have about as much
right to express their opinions on the
convention question as editors. At
least they ought to have that right, in
view Of the fact that the Supreme
Judges are required to be lawyers, and
lawyers know better than any one
else the qualifications OF the candi-
dates. II the judicial conyention was
composed entirely Of lawyers,
tho Judges selected would be the
ablest and most competant men.
