He instructed the grand jury to indict

POLITICAL.

Greene county is not a part of the
First senatorial district, neither is it a
part of the Third hoterial district. The
last legislature passed a bill severing
Greene county from the First senatori-
al district and from the Third foterial
district, and placed Greene county in
the Second senatorial and hoterial dis
tricts. The chancery court of Hawkins
county declared that act unconstitu-
tional In suit brought by Hawkins
county citizens. But this decision is
not binding upon Greene county from
the fact that Greene county was not
made party in this suit. And there
will be senator elected from Greene
and Sullivan counties in accordance
with the provisions of the statute refer
red to and the republican politicians
should make their arrangements ac-
cordingly. -Greeneville Democrat.
It is significant fact that in two
counties in East Tennessee which held
conventions Monday the delegates were
sent almost unhampered by instruc-
tions. In Blount county they we're in
structed for one ballot only, and in
Monroe they were instructed so that
whenever the delegates feel there is a
deadlock they are empow cred to vote as
they please. In Middle Tennessee, on
the same date, the county of Decatur
sent an uninstructed delegation. -

TILLMAN WON'T INTERFERE.
Mr.. Evans and Mr.. BrOwnlOw to be Allow
ed TO Fight il Out.


Nashville, April 4. In an interview
Hon. G.. N. Tillman, who has been re-
peatedly mentioned as a compromise
candidate for governor on the republi-
can ticket, said he was in no sense an
aspirant for the nomination and would
not interfere or intervene in the contest
going on between Mr.. Wright and Mr..
Evans.
Mr.. Tillman regards the proposition
that Wright withdraw in his interest
as absurd. He says Mr.. Wright will
not do SO, and he personally would not
join in any such scheme. In his opin-
ion, Wright and Evans will fight it out,
and whichever receives the nomination
should have the hearty support of the
entire party,
Mr.. Tillman said the trouble was that
some republicans cared nothing about
the governorship of state affairs, but
viewed everything from federal OF
national standpoint, and to such repub'
licans the machinery of the party and
the control of the federal offices are the
only important things,
If they can not control in that respect
they will sulk and do nothing, forget
ting that the things here at home arr
the most vital and important and thing
which the party can amend and i'm
prove continually.
