RAPID RISE OF ]. Q. TILSON
East Tennessean Nominal
ed for Congress from
Connecticut,

The Hon. John CULLEN Tilson, ma.
tive of Flag Pond, Unicoi county, East
Tennessee, was yesterday nominated
for congress from the state-at- large by
the republican party in convention at
New Haven, Conn. His nomination is
virtually his election, as the state is
largely republican.
In emphasis of Mr.. Tilsons growing
popularity, this honor came to him
without opposition, he being nominal
ed by reclamation.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Tilson left his
cabin home in East Tennessee TO enter
school at Yale. He was an earnest
student, and with his brilliant mind,
graduated later with distinction. &c
studied law and began the practice in
New Haven. He was later elected tc
the lower house of the Connecticut leg.
islature, and that body conferred upon
him the speakership Of the house. From
this position he will 60 to congress. A
man Of indomitable will and determi.
nation, and now but little past 40 years
of age, he no doubt has greater honors
in store for him.
Twenty years ago, living in the
mountains, near the North Carolins
line, he had never seen a train, and
knew comparatively nothing of the
great world and the possibilities it hello
