GuBERNAToRIAL CANVASS IN TENNESSEE
The two Republicans running for Governor in
the State of Tennessee, appear to be hav-
ing good time, abusing each other. If the
people of that State have the same contempt
for man that shows the white feather, as
they had few years ago, Stokes will be
beaten at the election, as they formerly voted
for the fighting man.
To show how amiabe these candidates are
towards each other, we publish the following
from the Knoxville Press of July lst.
During Gov. Senter's closing remarks at
, Clinton, yesterday, he was "a circumstance"
more severe and scathing in his deuunciaton
of Stokes than in my previous speech. The
Generals" military record was used pretty
much in the way that boys use bladder,
which is putfed out and swelled by the wind
it confines within itself. Gov. Senter used it
as n foo: ball, threw it around among the by
ISLANDERS, and finally took it between his
hands, and, bringing them sharply together,
hu-stit.
When the "bald eagle" rose to reply, be
fairly trembled with anger and shame. Rails
ing his long finger and pointing it toward
Gov. Senter. he sad
Feilo,c- CHizeaS--l have q wife aud children
whom should greatly dislike to part from.
Yet tell Governor Senter | will hold him
personally responsible, after the election, for
what he has said to-day. If he considers him
self gentleman. challenge him to meet me
after the election, as gentleman, snd We
will then see who is the coward and who the
man. | denouuce Seuter as liar, and am
ready to meet him any time after the elec-
ton.
Gov Senter, who was sitting Immediately
in the rear of Stokes, coolly arose and inform
ed Stokes that he was ready to meet him now
or any time agreeable to him (>tokes) previ-
Gus to the election, but would prefer to settle
the difficulty without delay. He therefore in
vited Stokes to step out on the field in rear of
the stand and obtain satisfaction. Stokes re-
piled tha; no would settle the affair after the
election.
Both speakers then iutimated that the dis
cussion was closed for the day. Senter slap
ped Stokes on the shoulder and remarked,
quietly, that he preferred to give him satisfsc
tion without delay. Stokes then replied that
he did not mean anything serious, but desr-
cd Ssnter to understand his desire for q fight
as expressed in PicSwickian sense.
REruBLIcAN PRINARIEs.-On Saturday last,
the Republicans of Stockton came forth in oil
their pristine loveliuess and majesty to test
tho beauties of the Crawford Plap," and
put up purely Stockton ticket. That they
were successful, the result plainly shows.
How the Republican sovereigns are pleased
with this patent plan, the rneful counte-
nauoes Of certain euchred ones tell. Old
Crawford has been weighed In the balance
aud found wanting" but Joe Long. and the
Court House clique have packed off the spoils
including CayiS. Early this morning, we
saw three doeful Repubs. sitting in front of
the Young Mems Christian Association rooms,
sadly murmuriug that little verse, commenc-
inc :.-"'Twas ever thas since childhood's
hour" The election was very orderly. con-
sidering the bitterness Of the strife. A num-
Der of illegal votes were cast. but as the par
ties will be indicted and punished, we forbear
giving particulars. The ticket nominated is
ss follows District Judge, J. NJ. Cavis; As
semblymeu. c. Grattan, and probably. L. W.
Elliot: Sheriff j. NJ. Long; Clerk 6. A. Brown;
Treasurer, II. S. Sargent; Recorder, l.. Z.
Yates; Assessor. c. II. Covell; Surveyor,
John Wallace; District Attorney. Z. S. Pills
bury; School Superintendent, W. +. Lead
better; Public Administrator, Charles Beld-
ing; Coroner, Nj. II. Bond. With one ex-
ception, the ticket is just as We predicted
weeks ago. The result shows that the rings"
are too heavy fer those who fought on prin.
ciple. There is no power in the Republican
ranks Of San Joaquin, that can stay the hands
Of Bowdoin aud Tuolumne, when they pull
together. Sic semper tyranis.-Socstes GAG
