EaNDoN G. HArNEsLH1s CANVASS.

The most vigorous and efficient can.
; vass in Tennessee has been made by Mr..
T Haynes. Almost solitary and alone be
e fought the battle for the Democratic
Conservative and Liberal party in the
N Ninth Congressional district. He stands
"a to-day, by the universal reclamation
az among the white men, the most popular
Y man in the Ninth Congressional dis
q triet. He received the solid vote Of the
AZ anti-Radical. brains, intellect, intelli-
gence, decency and dignity Of the white
race throughout the district against Mr.
( Lewis. Look at the political status Of
the two men. Haynes was supported
By white men: Lewis was elected by
D negroes. Haynes was nominated by a
Z full convention Of intelligent citizens,
regularly appointed by every county in
D the district. Lewis was nominated by a
8 few s~elf-appOinted delegates composed
u OF a few whites and few blacks; Haynes
was voted for by the intelligence, the
wealth and the respectability Of the dis
q trict. Lewis bore the banner of the liz
norant and the inferior class; Haynes
& represented the oppressed whites. Lewis
was allied with the Oppressors of his
Z people; Haynes spoke for those who in
dignantly protest against the wrongs,
| the insults and the degradation heaped
upon them. Lewis supported and was
Imported by the party which is the au-
Z thor Of all our sorrows and calamities;
Haynes represented the party which
~endeavored to restore good government
10 all classes. Lewis represented the
party that destroyed good government,
and that has tyrannized over the South.
In such a contest we had rather be
Haynes defeated than Lewis elected.
"AIarcellus, exiled, more true Joy feels
Than Caesar with the senate at his heels"
Now that a false and dishonest effort
has been made to show that Mr.. Haynes
el behind his ticket in this dis
trict, we shall comment on the vote.
While Cheatham received in Shelby
3479, and johnson 1888, Mr.. Haynes re-
ceived in Shelby 6O5S. While in Fay
cite General Cheatham received 1880
votes, and Mr., johnson I65, Mr.. Haynes
received 1+4O, within five votes Of equal
ing both 0f them. While in Hardeman
(el Chatham received 972 votes,
and 1l Johnson $40, Mr.. Haynes re-
eeiy $50. Colonel Kellar, who was
run Is his friends Notwithstanding bis
withdrawal. received forty or fifty
votes p the district. Colonel Haynes
vote L. Shelby, Fayette and Hardeman
was 96SS-Tipton not heard from. This
Congressional district is Radical Mr..
Haynes made as strong a race as any
man in the district could have made
under the circumstances. Senator Du-
Bose was right when he said that this
district would be Radical under the APP
portionment bill as adopted, and we
we're wrong, and give him full credit Tor
superior Judgment. There are in the
district st1ty-seUen thousand three hun
red and se~Uenty-t0o negroes, and siry-
eight thousand one hundred and one
whites. Counting out women and chill
dren upon the rule Of eight to one, the
difference is about ninety votes. There f,
are no doubt fifteen hundred white Rad ,
icals in the district, which, added to the {
negroes, gives a decided majority to the !
Radical party. This Colonel HAYNES .
warned the people was the fact through $
out the canvass, on the stump and 9TH y
erwise. But the AV0laache attempted |
TO persuade the people that the vote Of y
the district would be twenty-five thou c
sand, and that Barbour Lewis would not 4
get more than six or seven thousand =
votes. The Avalanche, however, knew 4
the above facts, for Colonel Haynes a
often repeated them from the stump a
