were driven from the front of the
building, being unable to stand the
intense heat. 1t now became evident
that the acadamy was doomed and the
firemen devoted themselves to saving
the Rocky Mountain Nei0S Building and
the Goode & McClintock Block, which

The Hon. Thomas L.. williams for
Governor.

Yesterday the Democrats OF Knox
unity assembled in mass convention,
" hioh meets in August, in Nashville,
nd instructed them 10 cast the thirty
i've votes OF Knox county for the
Hon. Thomas l.. Williams for Gov
ernor. The Enforcement of Mr.. viii.
Jams was by sweeping majority and
his thousands Of friends throughout
the State will be gratitied TO hear that
his home county has given him such
a flattering recommendation TO the
Democracy OF the State. The action
OF the convention will be most heartily
Endorsed by ninety-nine out OF every
hundred Democrats In Knox county.
They delight to honor one who has
been a bod champion OF the Democ-
racy from his boyhood. Mr.. Williams
ia a gentleman in every way worthy of
the honor which Kuox county has
done him and worthy to be honored
by the people Of Tennessee as their
Chief Executive. He comes of a
long line OF Democratic ancestry
and has ever been ready to con-
tribute his time and his money to the
cause OF his party. He has fought
the battles OF his party, and In his
hands the banner Of Democracy has
never been dishonored, We know Of
no man in East Tennessee who has
made greater sacrifices for his party.
He has done nothing grudgingly, but
his work has been done through pure
devotion to Democracy. Six years
ago the Democrats cent Mr.. Williams
forth to meet the boss OF Republican,
ism in the Second Congressional Dis
trict, and TO preach the doctrines Of
pure Democracy in the Republican
strongholds Of this section Of the
State. No ADLER canvass has been
made in Eist Tennessee since the war,
and Houk found that Mr.. Williams
was more than bis match in debate
before the thinking people OF the dis
triCt On every stump he eNpounded
the crimes OF Democracy and fear
lessly laid bare the frauds aud conup-
tons of the Republican party until
the boss had no reply, save oft tod
Jokes and dirty anecdotes. OF cou 80
Mr., Williams did not accept the race
with any hope OF an election. He nc
copied the iacs for the sake Of keep
ing the patty together, and though de.
feated he cut down the majority
of bis opponent aud ran ahead
OF the Democratic ticket. Now,
the Democrats OF the Second Con-
OCCASIONAL Disr,ct are for the Hon.
Thomas l.. Williams for Governor.
We believe he has the strength of
nine-lenths Of the party in the district.
Indeed, it is already known that more
than eighty OF the ninety votes the
counties al this district will cast Ia the
Gubernsto ial Convention Will for
Mr.. Williams. Why are they for him Z?
Because the people know him and
can trust him. They know he is abe
