shall cast its vote for Bearden, and
confidently predicts his election by a
large majority.
Shelbyville Commercials We have
reliable information that Bearden
will receive at least ninety per cent.
of Judge Hancock's support in War
rem and franklin, and that in Ruth
erford and Cannon that vote is prac-
tically solid for our man. Let's give
Bearden majority of ten thousand
in the Division. We can do it.
Shelbyville Gazette: Every citi-
zen in Bedford county, Of whatever
caste, or nationality, or politics is
alike interested in having a good
and true man for our next Chancel-
lOr. DO we not want q man of
broad, conservative, and liberal views;
fair minded, and impartial man;
man who pays his debts, and "owes
no man anything but love-" a man
who loves justice and deals fairly and
honestly with his fellow men? A
man of learning and respectability?
Then vote for Walter S. Bearden.
Bedford County Times: In the
person Of Walter S. Bearden, Bedford
county offers to this division man
eminently fitted to discharge the ar
duous and intricate duties of heoffice.
A man of unimpeachable honesty
and integrity Of purpose, he has the
courage to stand by his convictions.
Temperate and conservative in his
views and possessed of an analytical
mind he is an able and accurate law
yer. Coming into our midst a young
man without fortune or influence he
has fought his own battles and I'M
aided has won his own victories.
During a residence here of more than
twenty years, he has justly attained
an enviable position both as a profess
sional man and a citizen, for in all
that timehe has never proved recreant
to trust, public or private.

cellorship.

The terse truism that "straws show
which way the wind blows is too
well established to be successfully con-
tradicted. A letter from Fayette-
vile to the editor of the STANDARD,
dated July 10th, reads: "To give
you some idea of the Chancellor's race
in this county, / will state that the
grand jury of our Circuit Court, now
in session, took vote day before yes
terday on the various offices, and the
vote for Chancellor stood, Bearden

FAYETTEVILLE, July 81 To The
American I'm your issue of today is
found the statement that Capt. Bur-
nam would carry this county for
Chancellor by 1880 votes. We ven
ture to say that the writer of that
statement did not believe what he
said. If such assertions are calculat-
ed and intended to influence other
counties it is fair to state that the
friends of Capt. Bearden, of Bedford,
believe that he will have a good ma
iOrity in Lincoln.

How the Counties Will Go.

The STANDARD addressed letters to
several gentlemen in different coun-

ments as to the probabilities in the
Chancellor's race. Up to the hour of

Athens Post: Col. VIM. 7 Murray,
of Warren county, was along this way
Wednesday. We have frequently
met in Conventions, and are always
glad to see him. He is a prominent
aspirant for the Democratic nominal
ton for Congress in this District and
his present visit to East Tennessee is
in that interest. We can only say
that he is a gentleman of recognized
ability and of sterling qualities, and
worthy of any position to which he
may aspire.

EIGHT out Of the fourteen papers
in this Chancery Division are out
spoken in their preference for Capt.
Bearden for Chancellor. The New

be construed into his support, stands
alone. Four have taken no position,
though at least one of them is known
to be for Bearden, and one other we
have not seen.

THE Republicans have circulated a
great many spurious tickets through
out EastTennessee, bearing the names
of only four of the Democratic candi-
dates for Supreme Judge. The name
of ID. L. Snodgrass is omitted and that
of VIM. NJ. Baxter, the Republican
candidate substituted. The Repub-
licans realize that they haven't the
ghost of a chance to elect their ticket
as whole, but think that by trick
cry they may possibly elect one Judge,
or at least reduce the Democratic ma
jority. Fortunately this trick was
discovered in time to defeat its pur-
pose. Too much care cannot be eX-
ercised by Democrats in scrutinizing
their tickets.

ISN'T the procuring of names to a
certificate of good character and the
publication Of such certificate by a
candidate for the exalted position of
Chancellor an innuendo of a very
damaging character within itself ?
Wouldn't it be safer tosupport man
who, like Caesars wife, is above sus-
picion, and whose integrity and relia-
bility are so well established, both at
home and abroad, that certificates of
good character are not needed, in fact
would be entirely superhuous?

The following paragraph from. the
Franklin County News, is a strong
confederation of the charge made by
Mr.. F. M. Smith in his speech of
withdrawal from the Circuit Judge
race, and an eloquent appeal to the
voters of the Circuit for change of
administration overow Circuit Courts.
The News says:
"There is no money in the County
Treasury. The Trustee has paid out
all the money collected by him, for
which he has the proper vouchers.
We suppose that there is as, much as
three thousand dollars of county war
rants outstanding. The last County
Court appropriated about 81 800, the
courtyard fence is not paid for, which
is nearly 5000, and then the costs OF
the last Circuit Court, amounting to
over $500, are not paid. The July
term of the Circuit Court is coming
on, which will take about twelve OF
fifteen hundred dollars. SO you sec
how woefully behind the county is
getting.

THE Standard of last week "craw-
fishes out of the responsibility of its
unfair criticisms of Col. Burnam's
mode of canvassing for the office of
Chancellor for this division. The
truth is, the Standard knows it did
wrong, and rather than answer the
questions prOpoundedi in our last tissue,
which would have forced it to show
its prejudice against Col. Burnam, or
its Over-zealousness for one of his OPP
ponents, it simply "backs out. y
New Era.
Barring the facts that the STAND
ARD has not crawfished out ofany re-
spOnsibility, thatit has done no wrong
in its criticisms of "Col." Burnam's
mode of canvassing, and that it does
not and has not backed out ofany po-
sition taken, the above statements
from the Era are substantially cor
rect. We simply declined to indulge
in the Erals verbosity and follow its
line of platitudes. Our first article
clearly and forcibly answered every
argument of the Era, and its second
column of labored verbiage we dis
missed with q breath. But why does
the Era center all of its magnanimous
desire to "defend an honorable aspi-
rant for public Office from unjust,
adverse, and uncalled for criticisms
upon "Col." Burnam? When that
gentleman assailed his opponents
with uncalled for and deprecatory
criticisms, it seems it would have
been consistent with the Era's line Of
policy to have defended them. We
had a perfect right to criticise "Col."
