''Now divide Browns vote by two aud you
have SO, 4S9, which, with the united R4di-
cal vote, would leave Radical plurality of
2,01l. The voting population Of the State,
according to the State census Of 1871, is
264, spa, of whom 6O,945 are blacks and, of
course, may be counted nearly unanimous
for the Radical ticket. The Radical vote
for Wisener in East Tennessee, most of
which was cast by whites, was 1876.
Allowing nearly 1000 off for negro votes
and We have 1900. It is low estimate
to allow 1900 more Radical votes in the
State, which makes q total Of about 81 900
Republican votes. Divide the remainder
53,824, bytwo and we have 1922, leaving
q Radical majority OF 4,08S. TO beat the
Radical candidate, either johnson or Cheat
ham must have gI,U0I votes, leaving for
the other, out of the total I53, S24, only
81 ,S23. That is 70 say, unless Cheathan
beats johnson or johnson beats Cheathsm
on afull vote, 2S,lTS, Maynard will be elect
ed by one vote. That johnson can beat
Cheatham is not unreasonable supposition,
unless We can believe The preposterous hypo-
thesis that more than one out Of every two
Democrats is wliingto go back on the regu-
lar party nominee. Therefore, unless Cheat
ham can beat Johnson by nearly 10000
votes in the State, on full vote, May
nard viii be elected. Consequently, it fol-
lows that every vote for johnson is a vote
against the Democratic party. These cal
cuations have been based on the suppose
ton that there will be full vote polled.
Bat it is almost certain that a full vote y i'll
not be polled, aud that the Radicals will poll
more votes than the Democrats, because
they have everything to gain through Dem
ocrstic disorganization. This makes it more
certain than ever that the only result of vet
irg for Mr.. Johnson win be Democratic
disorganizstion and defeat, although his
own defeat will also be insured"

some expenses cannot be had while the dram
shop is permitted.
In view Of the pending election we therefore
ask your opinion as to the prohbtory law, and
