BEVERIDGE MENTIONED.

Republicans in Tennessee Senate Indorse Indianan. The republican members of the general assembly recently adopted resolutions indorsing Senator Beveridge for president, and the junior senator from Indiana has replied to the resolution in a spirited letter, which is in part as follows: “It is especially gratifying to me that this formal utterance of representative republicans should come from a southern state. In the next few years it is inevitable that the ooi£h will cease to be solid on party li fifes. The south is too great to be sectional. The republican party is the party of nationality. The republican party is the party of construction. Every republican policy is a policy of development. Every republican principle is a principle of progress. And construction, development and progress are the supreme needs of the south. Richer in coal, timber, ore, and the materials of fabric and food than any other section of the republic —with these resources ia the beginning of their development, with the great canal at her very door, with the markets of the world, and particularly of the orient, waiting for products, the south will not much longer remain the slave of a reactlonay party.”
