hopinr 10 vote him straight. The
masses will vote for Greeley. There Is
about thousand in this 1.-THE Sixteenth
SENATORIAL district who will vote for

population.
A gentleman was at the Maxwell
House, Nashville, the other evening,
from East Tennessee, who has come to
Nashville on business for few days, had
heard that johnson men in Nashville
were anxious to bet that Johnson would
be elected. He said he hsd been Look
ing for some one TO win $4,000 OF his
money on that proposition, but he soon
found that the Nashville Johnson men
were not so sanguine as he had heard.
He then tried 10 find some one who
would bet $1,000 or $4,000 that Johnson
would beat Cheatham, but could tnd no
taker.
The Chattanooga Times says:
1.-THE chairman of the Republican
Executiye Committee has issued an ad'
dross in which be inquiries, Wlll the
third district, with her large majority Of
Union voters, send ID. M. Key, a Con
faderate Lieutenant Colonel, TO Con
gress. in preference to William Crutch-
field, Federal Captain
That is the way Mr.. johnson put It in
his Columbia, Bristol and other speeches
"Mr. Cheatham can with poor grace ask
for a seat in Congress, after having at
tempted TO violate the Constitution,
trampling the laws under foot, and seek
ing to disorganize the Government
itself."
The Tullahoma Independent says;
"Opposing Mr.. Maynard we find the
Democratic party and Andrew johnson.
The former presents its nominee and an
organization to confront an organizs-
ton. The latter presents himself his
grievances and disarray of forces.
DUTY now impels us to choose between
these. and we cannot hesitate longer:
We pronounce for the nominee and tall
into line. a * a
A correspondent from Fayetteville
SAYS: "Be assured Lincoln will give,
as we have every reason to know, an
overwhelming majority for Cheatham.
In attempting to reply to Governor
Harris at Morristown, last Monday, Col.
John Baxter made violent onslaught
on the Democratic party, and said that
he had been working for its disruption a
long time, and now supported Andrew
johnson because he was assisting him
in the work of disorganization.
A correspondent of the Union and
American writes from Morristown, East
Tennessee: itt#
"You may put the vote Of Hamblen
down as for Maynard over Cheatham
and johnson both. The Radicals are
for Maynard to man. The Democratic
vote Of the county will be about 700.
OF this number General Cheatham will
not receive one less than 500. We fail
to find 200 Johnson men in the county,
but by giving him those whose senti.
ments are not positively known, we
figure him up 1862"
The Athens Post says ara
: In the aggregate vote of the counties
composing lower East Tennessee, name
| ly. Loudon, Monroe, McMinn, Meigs,
, Polk, Bradley, Hamilton, james, Marion,
Bledsoe, Rbea and .Sequatchie-Gen.
Cheatham will beat Mr.. johnson at least
two thousand votes.
: A Radical Mayor was elected in Nash
ville through the divisions Of an anti
Radical majority Of overwhelming pro-
portions. Keep your eye on Maynard
that be does not slip in the same way.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
A Tennessee orator says; Grant
= haint much on Grammar, but you ought
TO see him throw himself on TO q mild
cigar"
A Brownsville correspondent writing
the 9th, says the vote Of Haywood
county will be very close between
Cheatham and Maynard. We thought
early in the canvass that we could carry
the county for General Chestham, but
it may be that Mr.. johnson will take of
two or three hundred votes, and if be
r does, Maynard will carry the county over
e Cheatham."
= A friend writing FROM Paris, Henry
/ county 18th, says:
8 Since writing you a few days since
h several Of the johnson men have openly
declared themselves for Chesthsm. They
could not stem the current, and you can
y now place the majority in this county al
y 1900 for Cheatham over Maynard. ! do
:. not know Of but very few votes that
johnson will get and we hope to change
> them before the day Of election"
b A correspondent writing from Tren-
e ton, Gibson county, says: "You can
: put Cheatham down for $500 majority
q in this county. | am now fully con
WINGED that Cheatham's majority in the
West Tennessee counties will be al
# least $4,000. Some of our friends claim
y $4,000 majority In the West Tennessee
