There was something OF a contest
over the question of instructing the
congressional delegation to vote as
unit for State Treasurer Kendall as the
congressional candidate, merely because
he was n citizen OF this county. Mr..
Kendall took the platform. and appeal
ed to the convention to give him this
honor. The matter was decided by the
defeat of resolution by which Mr..
Kendall was to have the right to name
the delegates, and the delegates will go
to,the convention unInstructed, with, 1t
is understood, strong incllnations to-
ward Harry woodward, of Roane.
The resolutions, which were adopted
amid much enthusiasm, endorsed the
policy Of President McRinley's admin

and salutary legislation" recommended
the reelection Of Senator EiHins'
praised the Republican congressman
for their beneficial services, favored the
election of road supervisors by q vote
of the people, and condemned the here
