From the Nashville Banner.l
A feeling seems to have obtained
] among Republicans that Honorable HoE-
ace Maynard is aspiring to much greater pro-
motion thsn the goyernorship OF Tennessee.
/ He desires, II IL alleged, TO make the guberna-
ination as Nics-Presdent on the Republican
ticket OF 1876. fhey do not hope 20 elect him
to The guOernatorlal chair, though they re-
gard him as their foremost man in Tennessee.
| In the event, which is more than probable, he
| should be martyred, II is thought be will have
the greater claim for position on the Presi-
dental ticket The Republicans will hold
| a congressional convention, and at the same
| time ooun y convention, here on the thir-
ueth instant, lhe latter 70 discuss and
act upon the prOpriety OF nominating
/ legislative ticket. 1t seems to be the I'M
/ preston with leading Republicans that they
will nominate DR.. W. p. Jones as the strongest
| Republican candidate for senator in David
SOD, while they Will support two OF the Demo-
cratic and Conservative nominees, East and
Giers, and nominate only two candidates for
the house and two for the senate. No candi-
date Will be announced instead OF Judge Lea
until after the meeting OF the recently ap-
pointed Democratic and Conservative COM
mittee, which takes place next Saturday.
The Conservative candidates are thinking
about entering upon the canvass; Rs they
have only thirty days in which 70 make it,
and TWENTY-FIVE districts to visit, they can
hardly begin their iabors day too soon.

The Radical State convention at Chat
tsnooga adopted plank in its platform in
which opposition 40 the iniquitOus funding
bill passsd by the late Democratic legislature"
is made tenet OF the party. In It's issue OF
February q. 1872, the Knoxville Chronicle, or
] yan n Of - TannaSgfea had
10 say about the bill: "While we have re-
Trained from any dictation 10 our Republican
friends in the legislature, IL Is nevertheless
our purpose to stand by them In whatever
course may be deemed necessary 10 the main
tenauce Of the credit OF the state. Rather we
shou.d have said any course the Republicans
may take looking 70 the restoration OF the
States fnauciai staBding in the money mar
kets OF the world. And after mature retiec-
ton. and q somewhat thorough study OF the
Various theories proposed, we are OF opinion
that about the best thing that can be done is q
well-gusrded law funding the .past-due bonds
snd coupons up 10 the frst day of January,
l87s and providing 70 pay interest from and
after the first day of July, 1874, on the debt
thus funded. These are our matured convic-
tions on this subject, and we shall stand by
our party friends in the Legislature who shall !
take This high ground to protect the honor OF
the state"
And the same organ piped the following
tune on March "a, 1913: aWhile Il is an impoS- |
sibllity 10 pay OF the State debt and restore
our credit, Il will crafty Us all 10 know that
first step has been taken BY the funding OF the |
past-due coupons and bonds, and thus pro- |
claiming 10 the world through legal channel |
that we have no sympathy with Tepud.df On, |
and that We will provide Tor aud pay the in |
terest until we become able 10 pay the princf- |
pa. This wa one OF the measures which /
the Chronicle thought should aentitle our law /
makers 70 the gratitude Of their constituent
cies." What does the Clr0nic.e think about IL /

The Tennessee Republicans, with the

Of compromise. They are opposed 10 the en- !
