HON. HORACE MAYNAND.

If a republican is to be
elected to the United States
senate from Tennessee, as we think
will probably be the case, Hon.
Horace Maynard is the man by
universal consent. Democrats ex~
pect him to be the man, and he is
the choice Of nine out of every ten
republicans in the state. Besides,
republicans in other states in the
union look to him as the man above
all others to be made United States
senator from Tennessee. His abil-
lty, experience and integrity of
character all point him out as one
eminently fitted for this high and
honorable position. He has made
political economy a lifelong study,
and being one of the first scholars
in the state, he has pursued this
study from a lofty and statesman
like standpoint. He would be a
credit to any state in the union, and
would take rank with the ablest and
most distinguished men in the
senate.
He has been a CONSTANT repub-
lican, and one of the ablest expo-
nents Of sound republican principles.
He is not mere politician, resort
ing to the petty methods Of an UNI
principled demagogue, in order to

Why He Stood It.
Detroit Free Press.

On the afternoon of Che election a
half-drunken rowdy appeared at one
of the Sixth ward PRECINCTS and began
abusing respectable looking citizen
who is supposed to have plenty of
muscle and knows how to use it.
After the rough had called him liar.
thief, robber; and many other bad
names, a citizen edged around and
queried:
"Why do you stand such insults
from that loafer? Why don't you
haul Off and knock him fat?" f
''Policy-policy whispered the
other. "He and I vote the same
ticket. He hasn't voted yet. FL
should knock bin down he'd turn hi:

wait awhile.
In few minutes the loafer deposl
ted his ticket, and soon after h'
edged around and said:

That was all the repeating that b

TUESDAY, NOV. 1s, 1880.

WE, have heard number of gen.
tlemen mentioned in connection with
the speakerShip Of the next house of
representatives in this state. Among
them is Hon. r. r. Butler, of
johnson county. He has served
four terms IN the state legislature
and was four times elected to the
United States congress. He has
consequently had large experience
in legislative bodies and is well
posted in parliamentary law. He
would make an able, popular and
dignifed presiding officer. His
name will doubtless be presented
for the speakership and his friends
will be able to offer many good
reasons for his election. Without
disparagement to other good men in
the legislature, of whom there are
many, we can say that none are
better qualified for speaker than
Mr.. Butler.

In the following paragraph from
the New York Tribune, we believe
the truth is told about General Gar
fields administration:
1.-THE south will find in General
Garfield q liberal, broad minded, pstri-
otto chief magistrate, without a par
ticle OF sectional prejudice. He will
be just as ready to aid wise and proper
measures for the benefit of the com
merce of the south as for that of the
north. Why not take the hand he
offers, and accept him cordially as the
president of the whole country ?
Northern capital aud northern 10
dustry are ready . flow into the south
ern states. They only wait for assnr-
ance that they will meet the same con-
ditiOns found in the west-absOlute
security, honest, friendly treatment,
and equal righte, social and political
Now is the time to begin new era in
southern affairs. In every state there
are men of brains and large pol teal
influence who see the folly of continu-
Ing their alliance with northern bour>
bons. Will they have the courage to
break away from it? The next few
months will show. We want TO assure
them now that the republican party
bears no ill-will toward taem or their

The Defeated,
Detroit Free Press

Things have come to such pass in
this country that whenever an cleo
ton is held some one is invariably
defeated. It shouldn't be that way,
but as long as it is, we must put up
with it. The victorious candidates feel
as good as they Can and need no ad-
vice or sympathy. The defeated ones
should remember that they have much
to fall back on.
In the first place it is an off year.
Always put in that claim to start on.
The expression has not been copy
righted, and any one can use it.
There is no need to remain hidden
under the barn for the next three
days after election. Come right out
and file your claims and have it over
with.
Any candidate who was laid out is
perfectly justified in believing that
the country will now drift into a
monarchy or go to the dogs.

Two years ago the editor OF the
Democrat was stumping the county,
and telling the honest farmers that
"both of the old parties were corrupt
as h--l," the democrats equally
with the republicans, yet he says this
week he was always a democrat. :"
Next year, should the greenbackers
get on top, the philosopher can, with
equal suavitY, "aop" again and assure
his readers that he was always green
backer." Indeed we have it from re-
liable authority that this delightfully."-
consistent reformer is even now 'hedg-
ing for that purpose. So long as he

The New York Herald. which is for
Hancock, gives the democrats a nut
to crack. Itis speaking of the pros
poets in New York which it Classics
amongst the doubtful" states:
! It is too confidently assumed that
when the party is united New York is
necessarily democratic state. The
figures of the last election seem to
show this: but do they really show III?
If we look only to the vote for governor
the claim seems reasonable. the ioint
vote for the democratic candidates last
November having bccn 453,3j6 and the
vote for Govern Cornell only 1856,
which makes an apparent democratic
majority Of 3i,7sa. but the returns
for the other state candidates IN the
same elscten show that this is not
safe inference. The truth is that many
republicans resented the nomination ot
Mr.. Cornell as IN afront to President
Hayes. and tried to defeat him by yot-
ing for the democratic candidates. The
ICtuilS lSeNt ip lptlI ioi t's't on
this point. The vote for l.r. Potter,
on whom there was no democratic di-
vision. fell short Of the aggregate demo
cratic votes for It's two guberaatorial
candidates by 1882 in point Of fact
all the democratic candidates On whom
there was no division. were defeated,
with the.slng'e exception OF young Mr.
Scy mour, for state engineer, who pull
ed through by his singular and de-
served personal popularity. The over
whelming majority Of republicans cleo
led to both branches Of the legislature
proves little, since Il IS accounted for bg
the formation Of the districts. But the
fac: that the republicans elected their
whole state ticket, with the single ex-
ception noted, when there was no DEM
cratic division On the minor candidates
proves that the mutilated republican
support OF Mr.. Cornell was no test Of
the republican strength in the state in
the last election, which atlcftcd a Sigh.
preponderance Of republicans among
the actual voters.
Besides, We Cannot leave oat of the
estimate the fact that the sotal vote Of
the state was ll5,o0S less thon in 1876.
The number of voters who stayed away
from the polls was still larger, since the
population increases year bv year. and
with it the number Of citizens who are
entitled TO vote. 50 rar as the election
of 1879 proves anything It proves
slight preponderance of republicans
among the actual voters; but il really
proves nothing of any 7aluc iu view Of |
the fact that more than hundred (
thousand citizens took no part in that
election.
