Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1872-06-22
THE STATE AT LARGE.

We continue our choice extracts
from Tennessee papers in regard 10
the nomination of candidate to be
voted for by the people of the whole
State.
The Appeal urges and insists that
West Tennessee shall furnish the
candidate, and even mentions sew
eral names from this division of the
State-an but one residents of Mem
phis.
The Somerville Falcon has this
cheerful little paragraph:
The Sweetwater Enterprise has
run up the name of Andrew John
son at its mast head, as u suitable
candidate for Congress for the State
st large. Its next sad duty will be
to announce his defeat by Frank
Cheatham.
The Morristown Gazette copies
our article ofweek. before last in re-
gard to the candidacy of Gen. Frank
Cheatham, and says:
There are hundreds of East Ten
nesseeans, too, who will be glad TO
have an opportunity to do honor to
their old leader. We say emphati-
cally, hurrah for cold Frank Cheat
ham,"
The same paper says:
The candidacy of Ii. S. Footc for
Congress for the State at large en-
counters reception from the peo-
pie that may be called moist. If
there is any one man more than an
other Claiming to be Conservative
who docs not command the admira-
ton of Tennessee, that man is the
venerable IL. S. +.
That capital paper the Springfield
Record, says:
Andy johnson is bidding for the
candidacy for Congress, for the
State at large.
Some OF the papers seem to think
that the people owe Andy debt of
gratitude, lbut we can't see it in that
light; his day has passed, the people
owe him nothing; nor will they send
him to Congress.
The Troy Times has this:
We notice from our exchanges of
Middle Tennessee, that Gen. b. +.
Cheatham and EX-President John
son are candidates for Congress at
large.
The gallantry of the Tennessee
boys, to which Cheatham contribu-
ted by his skill in man9uvering and
personal bravery, has given him an
enviable name as a commander and
warrior, and feel that we could no
more stay from the polls, if "mar's
Frank" was to order us up to depos-
it ticket for him, than we could
stand still in days of yore, when he
said forward boys"
The Coffee county Democrat is
out for Gen. Frank Cheatham, for
Congressman for the State at large.
Forty-six citizens of Lincoln coun-
ty sign call for Gen w. B. Bate to
become candidate for Congress for
the State at large.
The Sweetwater Enterprise, the
Shelbyville Rescue and the Frank
lin Review, have hoisted the name
of Andy johnson, for Congress. for
the State at large.
n Dickson county correspondent
of the Lawrence Journal says:
Politically our people are strong
in favor of Greeley and Brown, but
not so strong for cousin ANDY"
They do not think he has cooled
orr yet. They prefer some one else,
and any one else would suit any
good Southern man.
The ClaksvilIe Tobacco Leaf,
June 10Th SAYS:
We place at the head of orr coll
unns the name of Gen, Frank
Cheatham. for Congress for the
State at large. Two weeks ago we
announced his candidacy, just as we
Went TO press, and that he was our
candidate, but have neglected 10 put
up the name.
We will not sneak of Gen. Cheat
ham. lie is known as Il gallant lea
der of Tenncsseans on hundred
fields. He is q man we love, and "a
man we most delight to honor. He
is no orator, but he is IA good work
