Progress in England has been along diff

The Democratic plot to steal tho gov.
ernorship Of Tennessee is shaping itself.
1t bears strong likeness to similar
theft in West Virginia few years ago.
Tho plan to be adopted is pretty-much
the same-that is, to prevent the decla-
ration OF the vote in the legislature, aa
the constitution provides, and then
count on. the Republican majority OF
74S received by Mr.. Evans.
This is the identical scheme that was
resortcd 10 in 1859, when General Golf
was deprived Of the Office to which tho
people OF West Virginia elected him.
The conspiracy in this state succeeded,
but there are indications that it will not
succeed in Tennessee, since leading
Democratic papers there arc dcnounc-
ing it.
However, the legislature is Demo-
cratic and the Democratic governor and
his cabinet are reported to DO in the
plot. 1t will be noted that in this re-
spect, also, the case is similar to that OF
West Virginia.
