SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 30.-The

Park Course, Alameda, this afternoon, drew
ten thousand people. The purse was 1880,

heavy. Both horses were in good trim and
excellent spirits. Pools, at noon, sold: Lucy

First heat-Occident drew the pole, and
a good start was made on the second scor-
ing. Both trotted evenly to the quarter

badly at reaching the half mile. The horse
then gathered up and closed the breach
within Two lengths, when Lucy passed the
score. Time 2:25g.
Second heat.-A fine start was made af-
ter considerable scoring. Occident com
meDced breaking soon after the 60 off and

BOSTON, Oct. 34.-Charles Sumner in

ton nomination for Governor Of Massa-
chusett, says:
In acknowledging your communication,
beg to repeat this declinstion, most sin
cerely desiring that no person should vote
for me. Beyond this personal wish which
trust will not be disregarded, is the con.
sideration that if chosen | could not serve.
At the same time L express my grateful
sense Of the trust reposed IN me by the
Conventions which united in this nomina-
ton. Ny acknowledgements are especially
due to the convention representing fellow
citizens to whom have for long time been
opposed on important public questions. l
beg them to believe that l am not insen
sible to their good will, which is enhanced
by the sign it affords that past differences
are absorbed in a common desire to secure
for our country the Incompatible blessing
of peace and reconciliation under the safe
guards of good government, and with the
principles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence as our rule Of conduct.

PRoM EAsT TEnNEssEE.

we have been furnished with the follow
ing letter from gentleman in Knoxville:
KNoxvILLE, Oct. 90, 1S72.-It seems to
be pretty well settled in East Tennessee
that the contest for Congressman for the
State at large is between Cheatham and
Maynard. The editor of the Athens Post
gives Cheatham a majority Of 1000 votes
over Johnson in what is called lower East
Tennessee. Our friends give Cheatham a
majority In upper East Tennessee in the
counties of Sullivan, Hawkins, Washington,
Cooke, Jefferson, Hamblin and Granger.
Both parties claim Knox. We feel very
confident of giving Cheatham majority in
East Tennessee.
The Athens Post, always very firm in
support of its principles, but never violent
or abusive, has better opportunities for
finding out the relative strength of the aspi-
rants than any one in the Sd Congressional
district. In that district Key, the nominee
of the Democratic convention, has no OPP
ponent but Crutchfeld, Radical. This
gives Us a better chance to rally our
strength. Our friends are sanguine that
Cheatham will beat Johnson in East Ten
nessee. If Maynard can get his party vote
be will go out of East Tennessee ahead OF
his competitors. We must therefore
draw on our friends in Middle
and West Tennessee for enough to
overcome the vote Of Maynard,
and promise not to draw 50 heavily in
future as We viii convince voters and disor-
gsnizers that we countenance none who
give aid and comfort TO Tennessee Radicals.
We could have beaten Maynard with
Gen. Chatham in East Tennessee if john
son had been satisfied with the honors and
emoluments Of office which tennessee
has heaped on. him for thirty y.seven years.
As hs has entered the race, with no hope
for success, be may weaken US in the. Pres
idential election and perhaps lose US two or
three members of Congress, but it will add
nothing to the fame be acquired before he
Joined the Republican party under the lead
of Lincoln. We have no fears of Johnson's
election, as we have great confidence in the
soundness OF the anti Radical party in Mid
die and West Tennessee. With majority
of $4,000 votes in the State, it would be
strange indeed if johnson could weaken Us
enough to send Maynard to Congress.

THE LEADERS IN THE JOHNSON
MOVEMENT,
From the Trenton News.


The leaders of this johnson mOoeaerat
all over the State have been all the time and
are now OutspOken in their purpose to dis
member and disorganize the Conservative
or Democratic party. We know and they
know that there are but two political par
ties in Tennessee. One is the Radical par
ty, and the other is the Conservative or
Democratic party. The Conservative par
ty is the only party in the State that pre-
tends to offer opposition to the Radical
party. Every Conservative or Democrat
vote for Andrew johnson, whether willing
ly or not, is a vote cast for the Radical
nominee. If johnson can succeed in get
ting enough Conservative votes TO
defeat Gen. Cheatham he elects
Horace Maynard. Maynard can alone be
defeated by the concentrated strength of
the Democratic or Conservative party-if
this strength is sufficiently divided or "dis-
organized" the Radical nominee is elected.
This is the only hope Maynard has of cleo
ton. Then let every voter consider that
every vote cast for Andrew johnson is a
vote for Horace Maynard. Horace May
nard il. elected at all will be elected not less
by the votes that Andrew johnson receives
than by the votes he directly receives him
self. If we did not for other reasons prefer
Gen. Cheatham to Andrew johnson, We
would feel bound to support Cheatham
in this race against Johnson be-
cause Cheatham is the candidate
of the only party or organization
in the State that presents an opposing front
to Radicalism. Mr.. johnson prides him
self that he is the candidate Of no party.
Then he is the candidate OF no organiz4-
tion. We can only hope to preserve our
State government from reverting TO the
Radicals by preserving our organization.
We can only preserve our organization by
supporting the nominees of our party con-
ventions. Is it not infinitely better to sup
port a nominee whom we do not like, than
to 6isorganize our party? 1t is not expected
that every party nomination viii give entire
satisfaction to every one. The great pur-
pose Of conventions is to hGYmOHize and
unite our strength upon some one candi-
date of our party. The very nature of our
government requires and demands Of the
people this policy.
