The Anzeiger, a German Democratic
paper, which was a strong supporter, how
ever, of the Liberal movement, is emphati-
caily against Greeley anu Brown. 1t takes
the ground that by these nominations the
convention became untrue to the ideas
which called the Liberal movement into ex-
istence, and selected two men for the high
est nnSitinns in the country whose

The Evening Posi-

The EUeRing Post opposes the nomina-
tons and platform of the Cincinnati Con-
vention; contends that Greeley lacks the
courage, firmness and consistency required
in Chief Magistrate; that bis political as
socatiOns and intimacies are bad; that he is
a bigoted protectiOnist and that bis manners
are gross. 1t says: "Greeley can have no
hope of an election, and if he runs at all it

FUN AHEAD.

One can hardly repress a smile when
considering the prospects for good, solid
fun which seems to await the voters OF
Tennessee during the coming summer.
We don't mean the Gubernatorial race,
for Gov. Brown has stocked the cards.
for that little game,n and as he holds all
trumps it is not interesting to any one but
himself. With such great odds in his
favor, it is generally conceded that he
knows enough about the game to go it
"alOnen and make march Neither
do we mean the race for Congress in the
several Congressional Districts, for they
have been SO gerTymandered by the body
of little fellows styling themselves the
Tennessee Legislature, that the selections
for Congress have already been made, or
will soon he made by cliques Of Democrats
III secret caucus. But we mean the race
for Congressman for the State at large, for
which there are already two entries and
another one in prospect. The interest in
such campaign would center in the pub
lie discussions between the pondrous sIedge-
hammer orator, eX-President Johnson,
and the impetuous, restless, hOt-headed
Ex-Governor FOOte.
Such contest is of the character which
newspaper reporters love to contemplate.
Items would become SO plentiful. 1t
would be better than circus. 1t would
be Greek meeting Greek, and the "tug of
war" would certainly come. By all
means, We say, let it come. 1t will be a
good thing for public amusement as well
as for editication. We long for the fray to
commence.
