The McMinnviIle Ne,s Era gives ms the
irst linking of dissatisfaction from press or
people. at the reply of the Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Committee. 10
certain gentlemen Of the Liberal Republic
can patty, who asked to be Informed, q what
cooperation win be extended them by the
Democrats of this State, in placing before
the people the Cincinnati and Baltimore
joint ticket" The Chairman replied, that
he had no authority to speak for The Com
mittee, but he gave it as his individual
opinion, confirmed by the individual opinion
OF other members of the Committee and
OF leading members of the Democratic
party in various portions of the State, that
The State Convention wiz, when It meets on
the 2lst August, place Liberal Republican
on the electoral ticket for the State at large,
anc that the Democratic Congressional
Conventions will place sufficient number
OF Liberal Republicans on the ticket as Dis
trict electors TO give satisfaction to the Lib
eFal Republicans of the State.
The Neac Era seems to have discov-
cred difficulties in the way Of joint or
cooperative ticket which, we believe, have
made no impression upon the minds of the
Democracy of the North or the South, ex-
cept in Georgia. Our contemporary thinks
it would be extremely unfortunate for a
Democratic Greeley Elector and a
Republican Greeley Elector to mount
the same stump and make war
upon each other about doctrines upon
which they have disagreei all their lives.
This would be unfortunate, but il SO hap
pens that'in this contest the platforms as
well as the candidates of the two parties
are indentical. Let them both make war
upon Grant and his party and their wilful
and outrageous violations of the principles
embodied in the Cincinnati Baltimore plat
form. The people of Tennessee need
scarcely be told that we have as little
thought Of disbanding the Democratic par
ty as any in or out of Tennessee. While
supporting Mr.. Greeley we do nor expect
to yield our Democracy, nor dc
we expect to yield the Democratic
organization. It is the power of
this organization that gives Mr.. Greeley the
prominence which he now has as a candi
date for the Presidency. Without the en-
phatie nomination of the Baltimore Con.
vention, the Grant officials would not now
be reading the handwriting on the wall
Thou art weighed in the balance and found
wanting.
1t is true thatthere are but handful o.
Liberal Republicans in the State, and they
without efficient organization; but to 6isre-
gard their application would afford the
Grant party an argument against the joint
tickets in the Northern States which would
be used with powerful effect.

THE New York World says: "At least
fifty Department clerks have been detailed
to serve at the Capitol at Washington to
frank and address political documents.
Among those performing these duties are
about ten ladies aud six or seven colored
clerks. One Of the latter is engaged in
ranking envelopes with the name of ''Hen-
ny Wilson, U. p. S." TIE Radicals are
sending off "The Greeley Record" as it is
called, containing extracts from the 1Ii-
6lule for number ofyears, and the speeches
of Senator'S Carpenter and Logan, intended
to be replies to and refutations Of the
charges made by Senator Sumner in his great
speech agrinst Gen. Grant"

HOW G. RANE Is TRYING TO ELECT
HIMSELF.

The Washington Patriot states that the
Pennsylvania Republican Association are
occupying the room of the Committee On
Military Affairs in the Capitol, and, with
several clerks detailed from the Depart
ments, are sending out documents in favor
Of The re election of Gen. Grant. To fur.
ther this object they are diligently engaged
ia ''iInitating" the names of Senator'S and
Representatives, in order to "frank" their
documents through the United States
PostOfiice. Some of the documents
ranked are the New York Times
of June II, containing the proceedings of
the Philadelphia Convention; about $1,000
copies ofthem have been and are being sent
every day; and during the last week $1,000
copies Of the Bin phantom IN. II Journal
have been folded and put in envelopes, and
are row being franked. The Patriot also
states that among the franks most used are
those of Hon. John A. Logan, Senator
Harlan, j. c. Plat, u. Chandler, ahd many
others. Most of these are franked by ladies.
The person in charge of the document room
of the Grant headquarters is clerk in the
Treasury Department, and who draws his
pay monthly as such clerk. In the Land
Office, Mr.. Lines, a clerk, is daily frank
ing documents 10 Ohio; this seems
to be his only occupation, and, in
the Pension Office, Hr. Harding is
doing the same. A large number of clerks
are writing editorials (such as they are) for
country sheets, which are cent under frank
TO all pats of the United States; aud last,
though not least, Gas before noticed in The
Patriot,) Major Stanton, Paym%ter United
States Army, is detailed as assistant editor of
au Administration paper. The business of
the Pension Office is entirely neglected, and
during the last week, General Baker, Com
missioner Of Pensions, has been with his
superior, Secretary Delapo, electioneeriDg
in North Carolina, and during the course of
this week intends to 80 to Minnesota to
speak in behalf Of his "Ring Master Grant"
An appropriation of $4,000 was obtained
during the last winter from Congress by
General Baker, and out of this fund, called
especial service" is supposed to come the
expenses Of the Commissioner.

GREELEY,s ABILITY.

Certainly, Mr.. Greeley proves his ability
in every thing that be writes. His response
to the Democratic nomination states and IL
Illustrates tie amnesty question with a clear
ness and vigor that have not been surpass-
cd. He says, The Liberal Republican Con-
vention framed platform that was tenn
phalicaily Democratic and be places him
self firmly upon it. Advancing beyond all
past issues, be asserts tie constitutional
rights of the States, and he says: 81 now
insist on .he full enfTanchisement of all my
white countrymen." While there is nothing
that differs in substance from the terms in
which be accepted the Cincinnati nOmina-
ton, terms that won him a popularity that
secured his nomination at Baltimore, the
present response 10 it is certainly new
proof that Mr.. Greeley possesses the
qualities his friends ascribe to him. In
his letters Of acceptance MIR. Greeley
concludes with grand thought most ad-
mirbe expressed. To Cincinnati he said:
81 accept your nomination, in the confident
trust that the masses Of our countrymen
north and South, are eager to CLASP
HANDS ACROSS THE BLOODY CHAsM WHICH
HAS TOO LONG DIVIDED THEM, FORGETTING
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ENEMIES, IN THE
JOYFUL CONSCIOUSNESS THAT THEY ARE
AND MUST HEM EFORTH REMAIN BRETH-
rem" And 10 Baltimore he responded in
words equally effective. "Whe,her," he
says, 81 shall be found worthy to bear the
standard of the great liberal movement
which the American people have inaugura-
ted, is to be decided not by words but by
deeds. WITH ME IF STEADILY ADVANCE,
OvER Me IF l FALTEB, ITS GRAND ARRAY
MOVES ON TO ACHIEVE FOR OUR COUNTRY
HER GLORIOUS, BENEFICENT DESTINY"
Just imagine Grant undertaking to con-
cieye or express such noble sentiments!
