Ex-Governor's Strength Going tc
Wright-TYson and Temple
ton are Slightly Mentioned

Nashville, Jan. 4.-There has
been SO much excitement over
the anomalous situation in the
legislature that the race for SEN
ator has not been in the FORE
ground since Monday.
Several of the senatorial can
didateS are here. Senator ]. B.
Frazier, ex-Gov. Benton Nc
Millin and General Wright
have headquarters at the Max
well. The former has assur-
ances of a large vote on the
first ballot, and is the second
choice of many more. In the
regular ranks the trend there
seems away from McMillin and
in favor of Wright. The Shell
by delegation will not go into
cuucus.
Hon. Gus T. Fitzhugh is here,
and is pushing his candidacy be-
fore the fuSionists. Whether
B. A. Enloe will also become a
candidate is now uncertain. His
friends are somewhat disturbed
over the activity of the Fitz-
hugh faction. 1t is not at all
likely that Enloe will be a can
didate, but it is probable that
his strength will go to Frazier.
With his four to seven regu-
lar votes certain, Frazier is
looked on by most of the fusion
lists as being their logical candi-
date.
The joint ballot on factional
lines will stand sixty-five fusion
lists to sixty-five regulars, with
Houk and Davis uncertain, if
the old alignments are held.

Scope of Agreement.

Nashville, Jan. 4.-The dove

ment reached between the war
ring factions in the house of rep.

There are thirty-seven "regu-

and take the oath before Speaker
Leach, of the house.
The agreement reached this
morning shortly after 10 o'clock
is this:
THAT the fusionists dismiss
all contests in the house excep,
that OF Ausmus and Day. The
York-Davis contest is not disturb.
ed in the senate. These two will
be fought out on their merits be-
fore the respective bodies. On
the dismissal of all contests in the
house, save that of Ausmus-Day.
the regulars OF the house go in
and take the OATH"
The compromise is not loaded
down with any sort of collateral
agreement, although the effort
was made by the fusionists to get
an agreement to the effect that
the senate agree not to embarrass
Gov. Hooper in any way SO far as
his Inauguration was concerned,
and to ratify his appointments.
