Caldwell was regularly nominated
as the Democratic candidate, and
Hon. A. E. Garrett, under the in
fuence of Andy Johnson's teach

canvass had been in progress a.
bout ten days, Col. j. NJ. Thorn
burgh, Radical, announced him.
self a candidate. The following
day, last Friday, the 4th, the
Knoxville Chronicle, Radical, an
nounced the departure of Col.
Thornburgh to 60 into the can.
vass, and said
without some unforeseen Cir
cumstunces against him, his cleo
ton looks very much like an as
sured fact"
The district is decidedly Demo
cratic. Garrett hasn't the ghost
of chance for an election, but he
may get votes enough to elect the
Radical.

The Speaking.

LIZ cS%NAA6'
The crowd in attendance on the
speaking of the candidates for
Congress at large was respectable
An numbers, though not as large
as we have seen here. Close at
tention was given to the speakers,
broken only occasionally by good
natured laugh at some telling hit,
or cheers for Cheatham. The dis
cussion was opened by Gen. Cheat
ham, in an address of about three
quarters of an hour, in which he
defended the Convention that
nominated him, showing that it
was fairly conducted, according
to party usage, that it was not
packed" but the free, unbiased
expression of the wishes of three
fourths Of the people of Tennes-
see. He spoke of his own past
career, and announced that he
was now a man of peace. He ar
raigned before the bar of public
opinion, in plain but courteous
terms, Gen. Andy johnson and
Horace Maynard, and held them
to the record. He read some of
the proclamations Of the former,
while Military Governor Of Ten
nessee, and showed that his rule
was unnecessarily oppressive and
tyrannical, etc. Mr.. Maynard
was equally vulnerable in having
been one of the champions of the
most obnoxious measures of the
Radical party.
Mr.. Maynard defended Gen.
Grant and his administration as
ably and with as much plausibili-
iy as any man could have done.
He possesses unusual tact In max.
ing the "worse appear the better
cause" He was good humored,
sarcastic, and at times eloquent.
His talents deserve better cause.
He claimed that orderly, peace
loving citizens ought to vote for
him, inasmuch as he was the only
civilian in the race, being opposed
by Gen. Johnson on one side and
Gen. Cheatham on the other
He was listened to attentively,I
but be made no votes.
Gen. johnson began with his
version Of the Convention that
nominated Gen. Cheatham-said
it was unfair, "packed," etc. He
himself had been nominated by
the people, and accepted. lie de-
tended his past career-raked up
the embers OF the rebellion, said it
was politicians war;" "a rich
mans war, but poor man s fight
that he sustained the government
while others were trying to tear it
down, etc. He defended the exc
cution of Mrs. Surratt in about
the same terms as are reported
from his Columbia speech. He is
changing his tactics somewhat
is less severe on "rebels" and
"traitors" than he is reported to
have been elsewhere, and seemed
TO show less of that confluence
and assurance of success that has
always heretofore marked his for
ensic efforts. His political days
are numbered, and he seems to
know it. He gained nothing, we
think, by the discussion here
His address was able; indeed, it
could not have been otherwise,
coming from a man of his great
ability, but it was not equal to
other efforts that we have heard
rom him.
Lincoln county will give a ,
.ousing majority for Cheatham. Z

De Mr., Maynard, after the
speaking last Saturday, paid q
high compliment to the people of
this county. He was agreeably dis
appointed, he said, having heard
very disparaging reports about US,

ment. But on TIE contrary, he
never was more courteously re-
ceived anywhere, and he went
away with an exalted opinion of
us a people, although he knew we
were largely for Cheatham.

ne" The plain truth is that
while some Democrats can't APP
prove the action of the Balti-
more convention, things are ire
vocably SO shaped now that they
must choose between Grant and
Greeley. Even if they do not
vote at all, or for a third candi-
date, they thereby indirectly aid
Grant. Whatever they do they
practically aid either Grant or
Greeley. Opposition now to
Grant can only be made by yo-
ting for Greeley. This is the
shape in which the question
stands practically before us, and
to this decision we are all COM
PEELED to come.
There is at least this differ
ence: Greeley's election will
break up Federal ring of plum
derers and oppressors of the
people, while Grants reelection
will continue them.
