COY. MCMILLIN
IN The CITY.
Here Locking After His Sena-
tOrial Fences.-Maury C0un.
ty Regarded as Being Close.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Elk Gev. Benton McMillin is in the
city, registered at the Bethel House.
The former governor came down to
shake hands with his Maury county
friends and to strengthen his senatorial
fences. Quite a stream of callers visited
him at his room during the day and he
had smile and warm hand-shake for
everyone. The ex-governor will remain
10 the city tonight, so as to meet his
friends among the business men of the
city, who have been so busy during
the day that they could not visit the
governor at the hotel.
The senatorial situation in Maury
county is regarded as beng rather
doubtful, with Senator Bate probably
the favorite. The county democratic
executive committee and the politicians
of the count, are regarded as being
about evenly divided. Gov. McMillin, it
is claimed by his leaders, has majority
of the executive committee favorable to
to his candidacy.
