The following specials to the
Knoxville Journal show the intense
feeling all over he.district in regards
to the shameful and fraudulent acts
Of majority of the so-called congress
sional committee. Some of them
demand Bart Lindsay to come out for
the nominee, which is no more than
right. There is a letter in circulation
in Blount county, asking him to come
out, which he will receive in a few
days. The people will not support
a man who in any approves of such
open and disgraceful fraud. And 1t
is high time this was understood if
the republicans of this district wish
to be free men. The resolutions
adopted by all of those counties are
fully as strong as those adopted by
Blount:
Campbell County.
JELLIco, Tenn, March 24.-The

tion meeting here tonight and passed

HELENwooD, Tenn, March a.
Three hundred citizens OF Scott
county assembled at this place to-
night and by unanimous vote
denounced the action of the COM
mittee of March 2Ist as being fraudu-
lent in the extreme. We recognize
Henry R. Gibson as the nominee by
the vote of the republicans, and tina,
Mr.. Houk is bolter. Even his
ardent supporters have now given
up the race and will support Gibson
under the circumstances. believing
that Houk has gained the nominee
fraudulently. The meeting was
very enthusiastic.
