The republican convention at
Nashville did not forget to nominate
Horace Maynard for the second place
on the presidential ticket. Mr.. May
nard would not be shelved much
worse as vice-president than as min
lister at Constantinople. But the
chances being that a democrat will be
elected, he would doubtless prefer to
remain where he is as long as possible
If he had been member of the cab
met Mr.. Hayes might have provided
him with life position.

THE race of generals will not be
permitted to die out. We see it an
nounced that Governor Marks has
appointed General Jno. f. Wheless,
of Nashville, Inspector general of
Tennessee, with the rank of brigadier-
general, the same rank he has hereto
fore held under a previous commits
sion as commissary- general. The only
objection we see to the appointment
is, that General Wheless already had
his title for life, and that new gem
eral could have been madeout of some
worthy private citizen, whose title
might have gone down in the family
tree for generations. A family that
has lived in the state any length Of
time, that is, fifty or a hundred years,
aud cannot refer to general" in the
line, is to be commiserated, and is
evidently of plebian stock. The old
generals who acquired their titles in
the Mexican or the late civil war, are
passing away, bless their good old fogy
souls and we can recruit only from
the ranks of the attorneys general and
the members of the governors staff.
How can we infuse martial spirit
into the rising generation unless we
have some generals around? Unfor-
unately an attorney general holds for
a term of eight years, so that making
generals by that process is very tedi-
Gus. Besides, some Of these generals
are elected or appointed Judge Occa.
sionally, and that kills off their title,
the only thing that will do it except
death. Occasionally one Of them
moves out of the state, taking his
title with him. The re appointment
of general is like the kissing Of two
ladies', waste Of sweetness, A vacan-
oy may not occur soon again and we
doubt whether the governor will have
an opportunity to set another genera
in the field during his present term o
Office, for "few die and none resign.
General" is the only military It'll,
worth aspiring to in this state. w,
have a large assortment of cOlOnels,an
the newspapers are turning out ney
ones every day. In fact the suppl!
rather exceeds the demand. AS t
majors and captains, no young man
any ambition or family pride woul,
aspire for these titles.

NASHVILLE AMERICAN: A Mary
land friend Of Mr.. Bayard points out
that New York has, without effect,
furnished the candidate for the de-
mocracy three times in succession.
The 1861 speech, of which he speaks,
is of no more consequence than the
similar record of every other demo-
'crat. 1t has done Mr.. Bayard more
harm in the south, on account of a
fear that it is damaging him in the
north, than it has done in the north.

BLAINE has made considerable
gains in the last few days, but he is
not yet ahead of Grant, or likely to be.
Out of the ninety delegates chosen for
the Chicago convention last week
Blaine secured g. Grant IT, and
Sherman 10. The ex-president is
reported as saying that he considered
his assured vote as 200. and that with
the Illinois vote his nomination would
be certain. General Jno. A. Logan,
Washburne, and other friends Of
Grant will do all in their power to
secure the Illinois delegation. 1t
seems that Blaine is just about strong
enough to excite the envy and oppo-
sition Of Sherman and Edmunds, with
\ out being quite strong enough to win.
. .lThe race now is between Grant and
Blaine. Sherman and Edmunds
would be likely to throw their
strength to Grant rather than Blaine.

The Presidential Campaign.

Cincinnati Enquirer, 7th.l
Behind the triumph of Thurman
in yesterdays Ohio convention stands
the nly-disguised victory of Samuel
j. Tilden. Not Que of the delegates
at large, chosen by the convention,
believes that Mr. Thurman's nomina
ton is possible, though they will all,
doubtless, prove loyal to the iustruc-
tions of the convention, within the
limits of that devotion which is meas
ured by common sense. The signifi
cant fact is that these delegates, so
believing, have been selected by
an anti-Thurman combination, by
a coalition of which Mr.. Tilden is
the unhidden, acknowledged head.
Whether this coalition means ticket
with Tilden at the head, Payne and
Bishop to take their chances for the
second place, or that Mr.. Payne is the
heir-apparent TO the political estates of
Mr.. Tilden, the future will prove.
That this combination did not fail in
anything it attempted yesterday seems
to be the commanding and admitted
fact in relation to the convention. 1t
may be fairly assumed that the dele
gates at large, after Thurman's nomi-
nation shall have become plainly i'm
possible, will vote, in some way,
satisfactorily to the motor power OF
this combination, The men who be-

THE Shelby DEMOCRACY.
Its Executive Committee at Work

When DR.. Brown was made tempo
rary chairman of the county demo-
cratic executive committee during it's
preliminary labors last Saturday, he
said one ofthe first duties of the mem
berS of the committee should be to dis
abuse the minds Of the country people
that the committee would be worked
in the interest of any ring or clique
Such an idea had gone forth regarding
committees in the past, and whether
there were any grounds or not for it,
efforts to suppress the notion would
be in order now, as the committee
had no interest whatever to subserve
but that of the public at large, includ-
ing the people of the entire country,
and Of all shades and classes. The
remarks Of DR.. Brown were received
with expressions of satisfaction by the
other members present.
Besides the appointment of Mr.
James Coleman as permanent chair
man of the county committee, Mr.. NJ
f. Kennedy was chosen permanent
secretary. An executive board Of
ten members was also appointed, as
follows; julius A. Taylor, chairman
