HEIiburn vs. spears.

The question as to who will be clcc-
ted Attorney General is low Of fire
qucnt occurrence. The indications arc
decidedly in favor Of MiiLurn. The
canvass On the part of Mr.. Milburn
has been vigorously prosecuted and
done in such a way as to win among
friends. Mr.. Spears is a smooth kind
of man but sets his sail for all brecz
es, and is all things to all men. His
canvass against Mr.. Payne Injuries
him in many localities. But at that
time he was bidding for Republi an
votes and as he said did not "expcc.
the rimed- cared rebels" He also tied
to injure Mr.. Payne by speaking OF
bis bloody war speech. H7pcc Mr..
Spears has lost grounds IL many see
tons Of the country.
But that is q small matter in i'm
portance compared to bis vote on the
lease Of the pemtentiary when Il
number Of the House Of Representa-
tyCS. Look at the hundreds OF nam
lies that have been turned out Of
employment by The aid of Mr.. Spears.
Go to the Vulcan mines, TO South
Pittsburg, and other points in Ten
ne8see and learn the effects Of this
act. Does be sympathize with the
laboring man? His acts says he docs
not. If he betrayed their trust once,
he will not DO to risk again. Mr..
Milburn will carry Marion, Hamilton,
Bradley, James and McMinn coun-
ties in the election. He will pole a
large vote in Polk and Blcdsoe. He
will win in this race.
Let bis friends be earnest III their
work in his behalf. Mr.. Spears is
not the man the people want,

As to-day one week Is the August
election, Of course the friends Of each
Of the candidates feel considerably in
tcrcstcd. But at this writing we have
no fears but that Mr.. Mayield will be
elected if his friends throughout the
| district will only do their duty election
day. Mr.. Mayfleld has made an excel
lent convass and every one speak well
Of him. II is true his opponent, Mr..
Bradford, is q popular gentleman, and
for that reason alone Mr.. MayhelI's
friends should work the harder TO get
out a full vote. 4 great many false
reports have been and are now being
circulated on both Mayfeld and Brad
ford, but sensible men will not enter
tain an elcctionecring story for a mo-
ment, but will 20 straight forward and
vote for the man they think the
best qualified fer the position. This
being done we have no fears Of the

W. Z. +. Milburn, candidate for At

there is moro laboring men than rich

On the first day of August the
people Of Tennessee will have to Sc
lect men to fiji nearly every Office in
the State. The most important Off,
ccs to BE- filed are the judicial. In
selecting our Judges the greatest
caution and care should be observed.
The very ablest men in the country,
who can be obtained, should be en-
trusted with the important duties of
this high Office. The people should
not permit themselves to be led
astay by the discussion Of any I'M
sound or false issue. Unfortunately
there are some who aspire to the
bench who expect to be elevated to
to that exalted position by the most
demagogical practices. Those who
resort to such means, for electioneer-
ing purposes, are not the material
out Of which to make judges, and to
select from this class is unwise. In
considering the fitness Of ~asPirants
for judicial honGrs, we should look
closely at their history, attachments
and character. If any have ever SER
we'd in that capacity heretofore, their
conduct in the office should be exam
med, and if it is found that Their
course there has been marked by wis.
dom and learning, then it would be
unsafe to exchange a certainty for
an uncertainty. When the capabili-
ties of a public servant have once
been tried, it is not safe or prudent
to cast Linn aside, and place in his
.laad one of whose capabilities we a. @
