THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

We had hoped that in the coming cleo
ton for county officers, the people would
have the opportunity to vote for men on
their merits, and not for party nominees
The people can still do this, and will do it,
but, so far as the Knoxville Ring" can,
they have driven men off the track and
narrowed the contest down to secret party
nominations on their side. We invite at
tention to the aecount given elsewhere OF
the secret town caucus, held in Knoxville
OH Monday, when straight party ticket
was forced on the county.
DO the people of Knox county propose
to have this city ring dictate in secret coV-
Gus who they shall vote for next August?
We think not.
The Democrats having, by "a secret ring
meeting, selected men to he voted for by
their party next August, it is clearly the
duty of all good citizens, without respect
to party, to unite upon and vote for the
strongest and best men to defeat these eau
Gus nominees. 1t is the people against
the ring. That is the way the con-
test now stands. In order to defeat
the ring, we hope that by consent
of the remaining candidates. the race for
each Office viii be given over to one cam
didate and let him in each case be the
strongest and best man. In this way the
contest will be narrowed down to the ring
ticket and of the result there can be no
doubt,

TO OUR FRIENDS.

The great Campaign of 10 has opened.
II is the duty of every voter to inform
himself as to issues involved. No medium
presents itself through which information
may be gained, equal to that of live, we'll
conducted newspaper. This is just what we
propose to make of the CHRONICLE. We
appeal to our friends to aid US in extending
its circulation. By doing this they will
enlarge its field of usefulness, and aid in
giving it increased facilities for dissent
mating information. We will send the
WEEKLY CHRONICLE to subscribers for
the campaign, closing with the full re-
turns of the election, for the low
price of FIFTY CENTS! We ought
to have FIVE THOUSAND campaign
subscribers in East Tennessee. If every
Republican who sees this will only work
for it, we will obtain them.
We will send ten copies of the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE, one year, for FIFTEEN DOL
LARS. Let us hear from you, friends
Remit by Postoffice Money Order, or by
Registered Letter, at our risk.

STATES RIGHTS UNDER ANOTHER NAME.

We have never heard of weaker argu-
ment being offered to an intelligent people
for the purpose of influencing their actions
than that from Jealous Democrats and
Greeleyites, to the effect that Grant should
be beaten because of the centralizing ten
denotes of his administration. 1t is an in
suit to the people, to assume that they are
to be influenced by such false and silly
stuff. If any one has been influenced by
it, and will just stop and think over the
matter ten minutes, we will guarantee that
every impression made of an unfavorable
nature towards the Republican party
or to this question, will vanish like
the morning mists before the summers
sun.
Who expected, after the experience
of the late war, that a policy would not
prevail, calculated to impress upon the
public mind the fact, that State must be
subordinate to the Federal Government?
This is the policy of the Republican party
and this is what States Rights, st cession
brawlers, and hypocritical Greeleyites are
| pleased to style Capitalization. The.
American people are in favor of centraliZa-
ton, when used in this sense. We are de-
cidedly in favor of the Federal Govern
ment retaining sufficient power over the
States in the future, that when treason
dares to raise it's ugly form, and traitors
dare to speak their infamous senti-
mPnts, there shall be authority vested some
| where to summarily try, and if found
guilty to hang or shoot such offenders. We
| have had one rebellion growing out of this
question of State rights, and we know it's
| terrible results. We cannot afford another
! one. All states and all sections of the
Union are interested in guarding against
such an occurrence. This it will he well
| for those to understand who are Shirt king

PEN SKETCHES OF REPoRMERs.

The canvass soon to begin in earnest all
owe the country will have its amusing as
we'll as serious features. The proposition
to hand over the Government of these
United States to the man who shared the
hazards of tabacco business with the
Tammany thief-TWced-ands windlcd the
poor depositors of the New York Savings
Bank by allowing the use of his name to
such associates as Hank Smith, is a PROPOSE
ton so startling as toawaken serious concern
on the part of honest tax payers. TO put
the immense patronage of this government
into the hands of the man whose political
managers are the John Cochrans, Reuben
Fentons, Frank Blairs and Grosvenors of
the reform (?) canvass, is q movement so
fatally subversive of all plans for an hon
est Government as to make the coming
canvass serious one to every good, pa
triotic citizen. These are the serious fea-
lures of the struggle.
The amusing part of the campaign will
consist in producing pen sketches of the
principal leaders of the reform (?) move
ment as outlined by the great reformer
himself-the editor of the Tribune. For
example, suppose Horatio Seymour, of
New York, after closing a perOration on
Greeley as statesman and patriot, should
be answered in the words Greeley has fire.
quently applied to Seymour, "tidr, LIAR,
reform should be answered by what Mr..
Greeley said of him March 3, 1863: cable,
"adroit and early schooled in the arts OF
I" the self-seeking politician, he has for
"years done his best against the party
" that has so honored him"
Suppose again that when Horace White
in his Chicago Tribune advocates Greeley s
claims for President, he should be answer
ed by Horace Whites opinion of the same
Greeley in 1866: A" Horace Greeley is NOT
land never has been man who ought to
"be trusted with an official position requir-
"ing practical wisdom, ordinary states
manshlp, or firm, consistent action. For
twenty-five years he has been a marplot
" in council, an unreliable commander in
faction, d misanthrope in victory, and a
riOtous disOrganiZer in defeat"
Would it not be amusing to have enthu-
! siastic Greeley refOrmers confronted with
such pen sketches of themselves, and their
shief form hand whose skill they dare
not question?

The time once was when the Tribune
gave no uncertain sound and used no words
of uncertain meaning when speaking of
such disgraceful acts as the attempt to
prevent Judge Settle from expressing his
views in a public speech at Yanceyville,
n. c., last week. But alas it is now an
organ of different.character, and gives a
sound hardly distinguishable. 1t thinks
that while Grant is in q considerable mi
nority at the South, there will be some at
"tempts to obtain popular sympathy else
"where by eXaggerating the bosterous
demonstrations of disfavor which are in
separable from the political canvass
= everywhere" The object of such a para
graph is obvious, being to break the force of
public opinion which is likely to greet
the preparation of such an outrage.
1t further apologies for the out
rage by saying that it seems
ito be one of those shameful attacks on
" free speech which proceed from that
spirit of ignorant lawlessness which in
evitably grows up in country under mil
itary rule" &c. The idea is that those
who perpetrated the outrage are not to
blame, or if to blame at all, they are ex-
cusable on the ground of military rule"
If this is q specimen of the kind of recon-
Citation between the Union men and
those lately in rebellion which is to follow
the election of Horace Greeley; if this is
the character of the peace promised us in
such an event, we devoutly pray that the
country may be spared such an infliction.
1t is sickening to hear leading news
paper of this country thus speaking of a
military rule" of which it has been the
earnest and persistent advocate, when
everybody can see that in doing so it is
acting as the servile organ of party it
has always denounced.

TAKING REVENGE.

In addition to what seemed to William
Cullen Bryant as the sentiment governing
Southern Democrats in thePresdential can
vass, as he gathered il from their express
sions in the Fifth Avenue Conference,
namely, that of Revenge" we have an
instance of their acts confirming that idea,
and in this case the act, if possible, speaks
louder than their words. They not only
expect to reap "sweet revenge from the
results of the canvass upon the Republican
party, but they intend visiting their ven
gcance upon individual members thereof
Judge Settle, the President of the
Philadelphia Convention, is II can
didate for Congress from his district,
the Fifth North Carolina. He is
the nominee of the Republican party and
is engaged in making a vigorous canvass
upon the stump. A few days ago he had
an appointment to speak at Yanceyville,in
that State. Some law-abiding Greeleyites
attempted to force him to desist. They
went to the stage and threatened him, but
he defied them, and continued to speak.
The result was general fight, in which
the chivalric, liberal-minded, oppressed,
Republican Democratic--G reeleyites in
dulged in the innocent and heightened
amusement of throwing rotten eggs at the
American flag with the names of Grant.
Wilson and Settle printed upon it. This
Is TIE SAINT place at WHICH MI stephens,
a Republican State Senator was murdered
some time ago by the kuklux.
Nor can Greeley organs justify this cow
ardly attack on Judge Settle on the ground
that he is only =" a thieving carpet Dagger"
He is a native " to the manor born" and
has in times past held positions of honor
and trust in that State. His sole offense
in this case is, that he is a Republican cam
didate for Congress, and that he supports
Grant and Wilson. This is enough to
arouse the internal passions of the Any
hing-to-beat-G Grant men, and if they dared
to do it, they would take revenge by talk
ing his life. The good people of the coun-
try North and South who opposed the re-
bellion, and who have no sympathy for
kuklux, will recognize this demonstration
as showing what such men would do with
such encouragement as they would receive
from an anti-Grant victory. If the sue
cess of Greeley meant only that Republi-
cans were to be turned out of office, aud
Democrats put in, it would be matter of
secondary Importance, but, as in this in
stance, when it means a denial of free
speech, it is a serious consideration, and
involves proposition to which the Amer
lean people will never assent

THE mendacity and cheek Of the re-
form (?l press is fifty illustrated in the
boast Of the Greeley organ Of this city,
that Tennessee was good for Greeley by
one hundred thousand and that Koerner
would carry Illinois by fifty thousand.
On their part, this is evidently to be "a
campaign of Grdg. But our readers may
see how much credit is due the boast about
Illinois, when, in the same paragraph,
Tennessee is claimed by hundred thou
sand. Such buster and brag are needed
to bolster up shameless coalition dew id
o. all principle and made solely for office
aud plumber.

The overwhelming absurdity of Greeley
as Democratic candidate for President
seems to have been more apparent to Gree
ley himself last fall than it is now. lie re-
allied the Inconsistency of the position
better then than his Democratic supporters
do now. In speech in Trumbull county,
Ohio, last fall he said: "If the Demo-
" cratic party were called upon to decide
between Grant and myself, 1 know that
" their regard for aOIidt they must call 11ri,l-
" cipie would induce aine-tenthS Of them to
"U0te against me. Why? lam a decided
" enemy of that party, even in its most
respectable aspects"
This same man is now begging for Dem
Ocratic votes.

A FEW weeks ago we felt happy. We
love innocent amusement, and thought we
were going to have it. The people all over
the State were anticipating rare time.
Who could contemplate the event of a con-
test between Andy johnson and Henry S.
of first class fun. Jim Robinson or Mike
Lipman would have been nowhere. But
without any regard for the universal wish
of the people, Foote has abruptly retired
from the race, and we have no assurance
that Andy will certainly run. If the con-
vcntion could act with perfect freedom, we
have no idea that he would stand ghost
of "a chance, but they can not. They are
afraid to ignore him. They dread his eff
forts on the stump. They dread to see a
merciless exposure of their."dirty linen
at the hands of Andy Johnson. They
may take him, but Foote is gone, and with
him our hopes of amusement.

AND now comes the information that
Senator Sumner is preparing another "big
speech to make against Grant after the
Baltimore Convention endorses Greeley.
1t is said to be a startler. He will prove
that Grant never commanded the United
States armies, and that the national debt
is larger than it was on the 4th day of
March, 1868. 1t might be well if some
friend of the Senator would furnish him
with copy of an ancient book, in which
is related the story of the frog that under
took to swell his proportions until he
should be as large as an OK, The tragic
fate of his frogship might furnish the Sena-
tor some wholesome food for reflection.
