Editor Lyle On His Defeat.

Editor Lyle of the johnson City
COMET is not only a clean democrat,
and good editor, but is also philos-
opher. AS is well-known, he made a
strong race against Congressman
Brownlow over in the First district,
which has long been regarded as arock-
ribbed republican stronghold. He did
not expect to defeat Brownlow, but he
made the race in good faith, greatly re-
duced the republican majority and is
still doing business at the old newspa'
per desk, as the following, taken from
his paper, goes to show;
We take our vote to mean that the
people consider us too valuable as
citizen to send to Washington. They
prefer that we stay here, and now, il
they will make our staying easy by
paying up their subscriptions, all viii
be well. Having been of service to on
friends elsewhere as swapping stock
we are satisfied to be defeated if W
could be the means of electing on
democratic senator, aud we are onl.
sorry we could not make it two. w
don't believe that all men are liars, bu
we do believe that some men are politi
clans, and the difference is in favor c

We knew we were going up against

AFTERNOON SESSION, 1870.
The Davis Conspiracy.

If the registration commission OF
Morgan county should succeed in
throwing out the ballots cast at the
election in that county for Mr.. Stafford,
and in any way John NJ. Davis should
secure the certificate of election to the
state senate, it will be disgrace to the
state, startling proof of the Infamous
unfairness of the election laws and a
shocking finale to the methods employ
ed by Gov. McMillin's machine. We
do not believe Gov McMillin would
countenance any such outrage, though
the men he appointed to administer the
law in measure represent him, and his
administration must be measured by
their acts. It would be unfortunate
for him if this bold outrage should be
consummated. Mr.. Davis was fairly
beaten by an unusually large vote. He
bolted his party convention, ran as an
independent, and by some means or
other, having secured the withdrawal
of the democratic nominee, he has had
the impudence to declare that the dem
ocrats of the county voted for him. Let
us hope that Gov. McMillin will use
whatever influence he may have to pre-
vent the preparation Of this outrage.
Speaking of the governors duty in
this regard Cy Lyle says in the johnson
City COMET: "Gov. McMillin v
could remove those election commits
sioners for not doing their sworn duty
and appoint men who would act prompt
ly and honestly. He has the power tc
do this and exercised the privilege just
before the August election by removing
O commissioner in Claiborne county"
In point of fact, the governor has
considerable power in such an emer
gency, and his friends naturally expec
him to execute it in behalf of decency
and right.
We do not know Stafford, the sue
cessful republican; we have no interes
in his claim whatever, except that w
are now and always will be opposed t.
any scheme conceived by any man o
set of men having for its object to over
ride the expressed will of the people a
the ballot box. Destroy confidence il
popular suffrage and we destroy tn
foundation of our republican institu
) tions. Chattanooga Times.

The Nail Hit on the Head.

There should have been no necessity
for Gov. McMillin to rush into print to
defend himself from the intimatiGn that
he was interested in holding back the
returns from Morgan and Fentress
counties to elect John M. Davis to the
state senate. The fact remains that the
returns from Morgan and Fentress
counties are being held back by some
one for some pun pose. Whatever the
motive the effect will be to give the
commission to Davis, although Stafford
has majority of the votes cast. Ii Gov.
McMillin wants the returns from those
counties he has the key to the situa-
ton. He could remove those election
commissioners for not doing their sworn
duty and appoint men who would act
promptly and honestly. He has the
mower to do this and exercised the priv
ilege lust before the August election by
removing q commissioner in Claiborne
county. johnson City Comet.
THE COMET hits the nail square on
the head. Gov. McMillin has had the
key to the situation for long time, he
had it when he appointed the election
commissioners in the counties mention
cd. If the truth were known it would
probably be seen that the commission
ers in both counties were appointed by
the governor at the request and upoI
the recommendation of John Davis. HI
has been influential with the admins
tration at Nashville. He rendered tn,
machine what was considered vAluabl,
service when he, with John Isaac Cox
robbed East Tennessee counties of tn

says they shall have in the legislature

The attempt Of the Knoxville Journal

The attempt Of the Knoxville Journal
correspondent in this city to make it
appear that DR.. Miller was run for
mayor by the whiskey men or that
those who voted for him were believers
in whiskey is not based on truth-but
what does that correspondent know or
care about truth? DR.. Miller is high
toned christian gentleman, was nomi-
mated by the democrats and made the
cleanest canvass ever made by any one
for any office. He ran against an indie
pendent candidate who was after votes
from all parties and all creeds and re.
sponsible to none, II might as we'll be
said that DR.. Miller was defeated by
the ''loose COW" element as the anti
saloon league.
