Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-11-01

- gentleman in this city handed US yes
terdsy letter received from friend, dated
Trenton, Oct. n, from which we take the
following: "Cheatham viii receive in this
county about $500 votes, johnson about
800, and Maynard about 1000 or 1,2OO
votes. counted the vote of Trenton to-
day, and can only find % men for Johnson,
and give him the benefit of every doubtful
one. Trenton district viii poll about 700
votes, which will be almost unanimous for
Gen. Cheatham." rod
a young gentleman travelling in West
Tennessee in the interest Of one of the
wholesale houses in this city, writing from
Huntingdon, Carroll county, under date of
the 2Sth, says:
"Cheatham is all right in this neck Of the
woods. johnson has no considerable
strength in West Tennessee. have seen
quite nHmber of Cheatham and Maynard
men who went to Nashville to the johnson
rally, and they seem to take delight in
burlesquing it on all Sides"
An intelligent correspondent in Erin,
Houston county, writing 25th, says: "We
will cast 800 votes in this county. Out Of
this number Gen. Cheatham will receive
abSat 500, and the remaining 100 will be
about equally divided between johnson
and Maynard. This is as near correct
estimate as can give with the lights be-
fore me. The vote may be larger than we
think, and if SO the result viii be more IA
vorable to Gen. Cheatham. am satisfied
that have given the outside figures for
Maynard and Johnson"
A correspondent from Decsturvie says:
81 think our county will vote only about
1000 votes; of that number Gen. Cheatham
will receive about 800, the other two hun
dred will be cast for Maynard and John
son."
A member of the Wayne county bar,
writing from Wsynesboro under date Of
9th, says: "In this county Gen. Cheat
ham will receive about 700 votes, Maynard
about $50, and johnson about 80. The
county is nearly equal between Democrats
and Republicans, and Johnson's candidacy
will give the Republicans a small plural
ity."
From Gallatin We have the following:
''The address of the Democratic Executive
Committee showing the Importance of con-
csntration upon Gen. Cheatham to defeat
Maynard, has been received here and is
doing much good. The johnson men in
this county, as general rule, are honest
Democrats, and so soon as they found that
concentration was absolutely necessary,
commenced to fall into ranks Sumner is
now safe for Chatham. thought few
days since that this county would give
johnson a majority, but changes are being
made and l would not now be surprised if
we give Gen. Chatham something near
the usual Democratic vote in this county,"
From Murfreesboro, Rutherford county,
under date of 3lst, we have the following
from one of the leading lawyers of that
place: "Please send US at once several
copies Of the address ofthe Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee to the Democratic vot-
ers Of Tennessee. Those you sent were
received yesterday, and l assure you that it
is no exaggeration when say that of my
own personal knowledge it has changed
dozens of votes from johnson to Cheathsm.
The johnson men here have all along said
that if there was any danger of the election
of Maynard that they would vote for Cheat
ham, and the figures given in the address
show 10 chance whatever for Mr.. johnson,
aud they feel unwilling to throw away
their votes and elect Maynard"
From Springfield, Robertson county, IN
der date of 31st, We have the following:
"The address of the Democratic Executive
Committee was received here to-day, and
is doing much good. The figures sci forth
in the address were astonishing to the few
johnson men here, and they now say that
they will fail into line with the Cheatham
men in order TO defeat Maynard. Please
send me few more copies of the address
if they can be had"
