Blount county has gone Democratic,
and a correspondent Of the Knoxville
Press and Herald says: ''5ix years ago
Br0wuiow carried this county over Eth
eridge by upwards of thirteen hundred,
while Maynard received q majority over
Porter OF only ninety-seven votes, all
told. In 1865 there were efeUe1 of US,
here in MRTyville, who had the nerve
to step forward and vote for Emerson
Etheridge, and cur names, have been
told, were read out in every Radical
league in the county for so doing. Yes
terdsy a majority of the votes in Mary
v1le were cast with US eleven for G. T.
Gates, and amongst others many coll
Ored men, who are at length convinced
that all is not gold that glitters, and
that they have been used as cats paws
long enough"
The Knoxville Press and Herald, I'M
der the head of "Maynard's Neighbors,"
says: ''The 'neighbOrs' Of Mr.. Maynard,
who, according to the Chronicle, admin
istered such strong rebuke' to his op-
pOnents, viii be glad to have the figures
70 paste on their hat-rims. Here they
are, as corrected by the official returns:
The second ward of Knoxville, ia which
he lives, gave him So votes in 1872, and
out So in 1874. The city of Knoxville
gave Maynard S63 votes in 1872, and but
647 votes in 1874. The county Of Knox
gave Maynard 3258 votes in 1872, and
but 233S votes in 1874. In Knoxville
Maynard received 647 votes. The coll
ored vote in Knoxville is about 500,
which was all cast for Maynard, leaving
him, in round numbers, the votes of $50
Of bis white neighbOrs in this city. The
record is a pretty one to call public at
tention to, isn't it?'
