ed a TRADE of inyectiyes at Mr.. Cherry
& Co. probably because Mr., Cherry has
seen cause recently to renounce the
Republican party. In his manner OF
debating he was nervous and exeitable
and often resorted to absurd assertions
and bitter and unbecoming language.
He declared that the present X. r.
Commission to be receiving salary
of $4,000 per year, The law says they
shall receive $1,000 and il the law is
ostopped the salary shall be Withheld.
He declared that between Pettibone
and Taylor he had no choice, when it
is well known that all along he has
been strong advocate Of PDttibone.
DR., Dobson, in reply stated that
while he was IA Democrat, he was not
partizan, or politician, but Il farm
er and as such desired to appeal to the
reason of the people and not their
prejudice. He showed that he has
been identified with the farming inter-
est of the county for several years,
having represented the county in her
conventions and fairs. DR.. showed by
his manner of debate that he was II
gentleman in every respect, The peo-
pie of Washington county now have
the opportunity OF electing man that
will represent them ably and well.
Mr.. Dobson did not seek the nomina-
ton nor was he nominated by the
Jonesboro ring as his opponent charg-
ed, but he was nominated because he
was considered the strongest and best
men the county.
If the farmers of Washington are
not well represented in the legislature
of the State this time it will be their
own fault. We believe if the people
do their duty Dohson will be elected
by handsome majority. n.

Dobson opened the discussion and
defended the Democratic view Of the
State issues, the r, r. Commission,
the Penitentiary lease, etc He show
ed in plain, practical way that the
Commission would be in the interest
of the people Of East Tennessee and
prohibit unjust discrimination again;t
our own people in the way Of freight
rates. He favored amending the pres
ent bill, il unconstitutional, so as to
make it just to the people and accepti-
bic to the railroads, He showed that
the penitentiary lease originated UNI
der Brownlow's administration, and
that whereas it used to cost the
State 100000, it now paid the State
$101 900.
Mr. Brabson charged that the Com.
mission would destroy the railroads
but did not show in what way. HI
wanted to know how his competition
was on the extension of slavery into
the territories" and the "Dred Scot
decision" and declared, to the amaze

A Letter From a Leading Republican
of This County.
To The COMET.

To TIE COMET
JoNEsBoRo, Tenn, Oct. 81.
AS it is currently reported by Pet
tibone's followers throughout the First
District that all the Republicans of
Washington county, including Hon
a. A. Taylor, are now supporting Pet
tibone, in behalf OF truth and in JUS
tice to all would say that such is not
the case. Mr. Taylor is at home, has
taken no part in the campaign and
will take none in behalf of Pettibone.
The opposition to Pettibone is more
vigorous to-day than at any time dur
ing the campaign. Many who, at
first, declared their intentions to mere
y scratch Pettibone, are now making
an open fight for King.
King will get three hundred Repub-
lican votes, and two hundred more
will scratch Pettibone in this county
The Republicans OF this county art
determined that Pettibone shall b(
beaten. They say "Kill the man anC
save the party"
