that the Republicans will do the coniesting.
Ever since the election in November last which

publcans has been expected the latter asserting
that gross frauds were practised by Democratic
election officers in West Tennessee. Since the

elected by plurality Of 1000.
A contest was decided upon at meeting to-
day OF the Republican State Executive Commit
tee and leading members OF the party from all
over the State. The chairman Of the committee
appointed to make an investigation OF FRAUDS IN
the election submitted a long report, accom-
panied by a recommendation in favor OF con-
test According to the figures given by the COM
mittee. Mr. Tillman was elected Governor by
plurality Of 1000. and the report said that
further investigation would show that he was
entitled to double these figures.
For an hour or more the report was discussed
and a resolution declaring for a contest and
pledging the support of the party to Mr.. iii
man carried unanimously. Attorneys were
appointed to prepare the peadings in the con-
test These will be submitted to the Legs
lature. which will meet next Monday.
