Runaway.
While driving out Crozier street across the
railroad a horse, driven by Miss Lizzie Ebans,
daughter of Issac EbanS, Esq, of Maryville,
became frightened by horse that was standing
near the polls in the eth Ward, and ran as far
as the corner of Depot street, when the buggy
wasupset and the occupants thrown out. Besides
Mis- ES Snb there Of M Mere i f Ss s"f fsys
city also little girl, Miss Lizzie Birchford,
also of Maryville. Misses Ebans and Post re-
ceived some injuries, though it is thought not
very dangerous ones. The little girl, strange
TO saw escaped without any injury whatever.
The horse and buggy were the property of
Mr. S. T. Post. The horse has always been
considered very gentle and has been driven by
the family for sometime never before making
any attempt to run away.

The little organ sends congratulations this
morning to the Greeley organ" and with
great concern asks about that bargain and
sale" The Republicans of Knox county don't
care about the bargain" but are interested TO
know how cheapa sale could be contaminated
with the " Knoxville ring for their broken
down organ.
THE RESULT OF BAD ADVICE.
The radicals" followed the Press and
HeratdS advice and voted straight ticket"
in response to " Maynard's war cry"
A CLEVER MAN" OVERWHELMED.
Can't. Jas. Boyd was a faithful, capable and
honest officer and is unquestlonably the
strongest man Of the Democratic party in Knox
county but even he could not bear up under
the terrible weight of tho adventurous crew
that control the Greeley organ and assume to
manipulate Knox county. e !
THE CoLoRED VOTE ANSWER SUMNER.
The Press and Herald did good things in
circulating those Extras containing Sumner
letter and their frantic appeals to the colored
vote. The colored people of Knox county an
sWer Sumner in the emphatic vote they gave
yesterday. They prefer Grant, Wilson, Gerritt
Smith, Fred Douglass, Garrison and Beecher to
Greeley, Sumner, Tweed, Seymour, Wade
Hampton Co.
THE MATTER EXPLAINED.
The editor of the Press and Herald has been |
much concerned lately about the management |
of the CHRONICLE. He has been free to give |
his advice to Republicans to get somebody to |
manage it that knew something of Knox county /
politics. He has been exercised over the little
:nogur' and his myrmdons THE county
committee For example of what the Z" little |
moguF' and his ''myrmidons" know about |
Knox county politics we refer him to the re-
turns of yesterdays election.
EXPLANATIONS IL ORDER.
This morning will be good time for explain
ations. The Greeley organ will have one,
we know, It will probably say apathy has |
caused the defeat 1t may say offices are for
those who work for them and not those who ask |
for them. All this will do very well to cover |
up the bad management of the Greeley organ |
and the follies of the Knoxville clique" lis |
foolish and desperate appeals yesterday morn
ing for straight tickets show the organ knew |
of the terrible defeat awaiting it. It'll bad policy
on the eve of defeat to make such frantic strug-
giles. We pity the big organ" The men
whom it has started up salt river will avoid its
leadership hereafter Such Waterloo defeats
demand a change of leaders. Even Knoxville,
the Democratic stronghold, went Radical.
What commentary on the generalship of the
great political strategist who assumes to control
not only county but.State politics
