sentative of the people, and who can

DEAR SIR Please call the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that the
Asylum at Knoxville is now complet-
ed, and that there is ample room for
all the insane in East Tenn. and also
in the following counties of Middle
Tenn:
Franklin, Grundy, Sequatchie, Bled-
soc, Vanburen, Cumberland, Fentress,
Polk, Overton, Putnam and White.
/ am satisfied that there are great
many insane persons in this Hospital
District whose friends do not know
that we are ready to admit them, OF
are ignorant of what steps to take in
order to get them admitted. All that
is necessary is for them to apply to
the County Court Clerks of their re-
spective counties, who have been fur
nished with the proper. forms of nee
essary papers for admitting patients.
If you will be kind enough to pub
fish this fact, you will probably fur.
nish news of very important nature
to many who are interested in the
welfare Of unfortunate friends.
Very respectfully

NASHVILLE, August 1.-THE ballot

nine o'clock, and progressed slowly.
The votes Of Campbell and Henry

charging that the votes had not been

and FAST interspersed with innumera-
BILE yells. Many delegates were call

at the top OF their voices, and the
greatest confusion reigned for many
minutes. The chairman was utterly
unable to maintain order. The mat

The work that was done during the
last session is now remembered to
have been performed by compare
lively few men in both houses Many
Senators and members monopolized
days and weeks in talking, but these
speeches were neither listened to
when delivered nor read after publ
cation. In the House Randall, Nor
risson, Hewitt and few Others on
the Democratic side and Reed, Ills
cock, Mckinley and Long for the Re-
publicans, spoke almost the only
words commanding widespread atten-
ton.
In the Senate the same was equally
true. Logan spoke often, but Logan
has only one speech, no matter what
the subject or occasion. Evarts, Of
whom so much was expected, did al,
most nothing at all, while still Others
did still less. On Beck, Vest Ed
munds, Van Wyck, Henderson, In.
gals, Sherman and occasionally Voor
hees and few others fell the burden
Of the work, which was often but in
differently well borne.
|
The credit Of being the hardest hit
ter in Senatorial debate belongs thi'
session, as it did last, to Beck, of Ken
lucky. In the upper body. Being
foreign-born his mind is not disturbed
by the buzzing Of the White House
bee and his convictions are less sue
ceptible to the passing influence Of ex
pediency.

Mai. y. HI. Wagner.

To THE EDITOR OF THE COMET Il
wish to call the attention Of the voters
OF the First Congressional District to
the name Of Major ], H. Wagner, Of
Taylorsyille, Tenn, as being suita-
bic person to represent the people OF
this district in the next Congress OF
the United States. The history and
character Of Maj. Wagner is so well
known among the people that COM
ment would almost be unnecessary ;
he is man OF sterling integrity and
well qualified in every sense of the
word to fill this honorable position.
He has ever been true to whatever
cause he espoused, Acting from hon.
est convictions as a federal soldier he
fought CALAMITY and was faithful tC
every trust confded in him and was
honorably discharged at the close Of
the war. Soon after the war he es,
poused the cause OF the grand ole
Democratic party and has stood firm
and unAinching to the present time
His political principles he holds pre-
cious and sacred, it having cost hin
so much to maintain them agains
such overwhelming opposition. HI
is a man Of fine intellect, broad infor
nation, keen sagacity and well posted
in the history Of political parties, ant
believing in the grand old republican
ism Of our fathers, the founders of thi
great republic, but ignoring the pres
ent so-called republicanism which i
bastard born Of prejudice and fanat
icism, growing out Of jealousy ant
malice toward State rights and tn
free institutions Of this government
No man in this district would max
us better standard-bearer than Ma
Wagner. He would get a heavy TO
lowing in the district and especial
in his own county among the Repul
lican party, as many Of them were hi
comrades in arms, We hope that hi
claims will be considered in the Cor
gressional Convention. A VOTER.
