1--WE stated last week that the Repub-
lican convention held here last Monday
declared preference for Stokes, but
Capt. King, who participated in the
meeting, informs US that this was mis-
take occasioned by the remarks of only
one man, Representative Reed, we be-
lieve, who favored Stokes He says the
convention purposely avoided any ex-
preston of preference on account of the
uncertainty that then existed as to the
position of the two candidates. Since
Gov. Senter has declared for speedy and
universal enfraDchisement, he says the
Republican party of Giles will support
him en- masse 1t is very gratifying to
US, indeed, to be able to chronicle this
manifestation of liberality on the part of
the Giles county Republicans, whom we
have heretofore regarded as extremely
radical Candidates in harmony with
Senter and his policy will be put for.

ANOTHER SENATORIAL CANDI-
DATE.


The Pulaski Citizen of the 18th
inst, publishes card from Mr.. w.
A. Garner, of Lawrence, announc-
ing himself as candidate for SEN
ator from Giles and Lawrence
counties. The following is his
platform: EE. E.-1E
list. l am in favor of SO amending the
constitution of the United States and Of
the State of Tennessee, as to settle for
all time the question of the elective
franchise, by making all male citizens
who are twenty-one years of age, OF
sane mind, who have not or may not be
duly convicted of Infamous crimes,
voters, at all elections properly held by
law, provided that they have the re.
quired citizenship OF the county and
State in which they may offer to vote.
"2d l am opposed to the increase of
our State debt by the extension of far
Their State aid to railroads, or for other
purposes. am also for diminishing our
State debt as soon and as fast as it can
practically be done. Promising to zee
you and give you my reasons, Outing the
canvass, for these principles, | close as
your friend and fellow-citizen"

RADICAL ORDINATIONS AND RE
ORDINATIONS.

A Nashville correspondent of the
McMinville Enterprise, who writes
over the initials of "a. A. c."
speaks piece of his mind in re.
gard TO some of his Radical breth-
rem here. He says in his letter of
June 8: ..#.lss. ..... ...
"The Press and Times has been sold
to the Senterites. This is something
that does not surprise me- | know the
men who owned that paper. You can,
with money, buy their 'birthright
Mercer was peddling quinine TO the rebs
IN oil. Winham was supporter of
Mcclellan for the Presidency. They
have never stood to the principles, but
90 for the Almighty Dollar.
There are some Of our carpet bag
gentry" that support Senter-llOpkins,
Peabody, Stone. 1uthill, H. II. Thomas.
and some of the natives-Juhn Hugh
Smith, the man that in 81 offered Young
men five dollars a piece to Join his rebel
company, in order 10 have himself elect
ed to a lieutenancy.'
= The Athens Republican, a Stokes
organ, declares that the Republican
party, as party" is not response
bic for the intrigue and corruption"
which it confesses has marked the
rule of the Radical party in this
State, but that "the leaders, men
in high places, who have ruled the
people with an iron rod, and are
still determined upon rule or ruin"
are the responsible parties. These
are the men who are still in search
of offices.

STOKES AND FRANCHISE.

In his spec ch at Knoxville, Mr.
Stokes claimed to be better fran
chise man than Senter, and called
the particular attention Of the
disfranchised to this statement,
Some of his organs are taxi
ing up the refrain, and argu-
ing to show that his claim is
founded in Justice. For instance,
the Chattanooga Republican of the
10Th inst. says
"Mr. Roach, of Carroll county, who
has been discarded by the Senter faction
during the past two years, fer his liberal-
Sy on the suffrage question, is Stokes
candidate for re>electon to the Leg
stature. This is another proof of the
truthfulness of our assertion that the
men who have all the while been most
liberal ON the suffrage question, are
The supporters Of Gen. Stokes. tits an
otber proof that the disfranchised may
reasonably expect more from that party
than from the eleventhrhOur converts of
whom Gov. Senter and Senator Brown
ow are chiefs. Mr. Kerchival, meme
her of the Stokes Executive Committee,
was also a leader of the liberal Repub-
leans in the. last Legislature. The
moderate. substantial and honest Re-
nnbIicans throughout the State are gen.
rralIy that way. Maj. Wilhoite, Of
Cleveland, who recently declared for
universal suffrage is still Stokes mar"
The Republican claims thatthere
is virtually no difference between
"the two candidates on the
suffrage question We shall
not be surprised when Stokes gets
into Middle Tennessee to hear that
he is out squareIy for convention
to remove the disabilities imposed
upon the "Rebels." 1t is quite
certain this would be his position if
he had his 9th Of June speech to
make over.

ate candidate for that district.
OF Radicalism in Alabama, the
Salma Times of the 18th inst. says;
ain the three district conventions Of
the Radical party that have thus far
assembled, two of them were dead fall
nres aud came near breaking mp in con.
fusion and a general row There is
gerat dissatisfaction among the dark ele-
ment of the party, who compose at least
pineteen-twentieths of it. for their
claims have been entirely ignored, and
the expected loaves and fishes have been
parceled out to the carpet baggers. We
feel confident that if proper efforts ere
made by the Democratic party, with its
members united and determined, part
at least Of the States representation an
Congress may be secured TO it
