axceilen idea Of the various kinds OF legislation

that takes into consideration such varying con-

valleys Of New-Hampshire, where the population
Is largely rural he may seek to enforce severe
prohibit0ry law; but IN the cities and closely

COUNTY CONVENTIONS
EoTsso STRONG FOR TAYLOR IN
EAST TENNESSEE.
The True Results In the Counties That
Held Conventions 1t Looks Like Nc
Connell is the Favorite-Mississippi
Republicans.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 4.-The tele-
graph reports appearing in the Avalanche,
of Memphis, and the american, OF Nash
vile, are incorrect. Here are the facts:
OF the thirteen counties in East Tennessee
which held Democratic conventions Mon
day, April 2, five instructed their delegates
for Taylor in the State convention, seven
counties instructed for the Hon. I. NJ. Nc
Connell, Anderson without Instructions
The counties instructing for Taylor
are Unicoi / vote, johnson 2, Car
ter 4, Grainger s. Sullivan %. Claims are
that the Granger and Sullivan conventions
were carried unfairly, and the instructions
for Taylor are not Endorsed by majority
of the Democrats All opposition was
gagged, the Taylor faction having control
OF county organizations.
The Mcconnell counties are Monroe,
with 10 votes; Loudon, o. SEWER, 8; Meigs,
5; Polk, Z; Hancock, 4; Jones, 8. Ander-
! son county did not instruct her delegates,
Ind her six votes will probably be equally
fdivided between Mcconnell and Taylor,
the delegation being mixed. The Hawkins
#county primaries held last Saturday resulted
a in the election OF iorty-three Nice onnell men
and twenty-one Taylor men. These dis
;. trict delegates will meet in convention at
4 Rogersyile Thursday. Last week three
4 counties, Cooke, Greene and Jefferson,
were instructed for Taylor by the bull
pdozing methods peculiar TO the peniten-
q tiary gang. On Saturday, March u. con-
INVENTIONS were held in Hamblen and
claiborne counties. The Hamben con-
/vention split and two conventions were
held, one instructed for the Hon. I. NJ.
Mcconnell. A Taylor convention was
held in Claiborne county without notice
TO the majority OF Democrats in
the county. The Washington county
convention has not yet been called.
and this Is the only remaining
county in Taylor's home district. In the
Second congressional district Mcconnell
has carried two counties and Taylor only
one. In the Third congressional district
Mcconnell has carried four counties and
Taylor none. In the Second district con-
ventions are yet TO be heard in Blount,
Campbell, Knox, Roane, Scott. Union and
Morgan. In the Third district conven.
tons are yet TO be heard in Bradley, Bled-
soc, Cumberland, Grundy, Hamilton, Nc
MINI, Marion, Rhea, Sequatchie, Van
Buren,, Warren and White.
Tho third is Mai. McConnell's home
district, and II is not believed that Taylor
will carry a single county in il. These
statements are correct, and your readers
may rely on them.

L. Mollison, colored, OF Issaquona.
Mr.. Lynch, from the committee on reso.
lutions, reported series OF resolutions,
among which is the following;
Resolved, That the Republicans feel
that their only hope in the future is in the
election for President Of the United States
OF n nan who thoroughly understands and
has never failed TO express sympathy in
our condition, and whilew do not instruct
our delegates, VIC nevertheless look upon
that eminent and patriotic statesmen the
Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, as one Of
the strongest men whose name has been
mentioned in that connection, and whose
nomination, il found available, will be
especially acceptable TO the Republicans of
this State"
Other resolutions were reported severely
criticising in coarse language the State adj
ministraiion and the recent Legislature,
and especially their action in the passage
OF the poll tax law, the act requiring rail-
roads to provide separate accommodations
for the races, the judicial district and rev.
enue and other acts.
The report was adopted.

A STIR AMONG CAPITALISTS.
The Dig Roal Estate Sale OF the cossitt
Property Today.

The sale Of the valuable real property Of
tho late William III. Cossitt, which takes
place this morning at 1880 O'Clock, has
created no little stir among coyetous real
estate magnates. The desirable location
OF the property is not overlooked, not only
by real estate men in this city, but a num-
Der Of capitalists and bankers from other
and distant cities arrived here last night,
and will be very apt 10 make the home
men pay handsomely for their bargain
The keen interest manifested in this sale
but confirms the fact that Memphis prop
erty is not only at present demanding y
handsome figure, but that there is implicit
faith in liz steady advance.
