Knoxville, Tenn., .April IZ.—Twenty
reimblicans and fourteen independent
democratic members of the Tennessee
legislature have gone to, Decatur, Ala.,
presumably for the puriiose of fore
stalling further legislation pending
some action whereby the amendment
to the state election law’ as passed
yesterday by the house of representa
tives can be overcome. I'he Knoxville
Sentinel this morning received the fol
lowing telegram from Rein-esentative
Jesse C. Connor, of the Knox county
delegation;
Decatur, Ala., Ajjril 13.
“To the Sentinel. Knoxville. Tenn.
“Twenty republicans and fourteen
independent democrats of Tennessee
legislature gathered here. Have taken
np onr abode here for six months or
longer. Like this town fine. Send us
papers.
“JESSE C. CONNOR.”
The Reason For Leaving.
Nashville. Tenn., Aiiril 13.—It is
understood here that the reason tlii.f-
ty-four independent democratic and
republican members of the Tennes-
gee legislature have absented them
selves from the state is to break
a quorum and prevent the regular
democrats and several republicans
from repealing the manufacturers li
quor license and also modifying the
state-wide whiskey law so that it
will not apiily to Na?h\ille, Chatta
nooga and Memphis. The insurgents,
it is said, will remain away until the

the IS delegates from this state to

the jiurpose of perfecting the organi
zation of the so-called “lilly white’
faction of the Repuidican i)arty which

that they should be stationed where
their "official presence will cause no
local irritation.”
The lilly white faction has not been
