CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE

RADICAL REPUBLICAN VOT-
Frs OF THE CITY OF g
NASHVILLE.

FELLow-CITIZENs:-The ensuing
Municipal Election is matter of pro
found interest to the Radical Republi-
can party of this City and State.
The election of the entire Radical
Republican ticket this fall will give
our City strong impetus forward on
the road to improvement and prosper
ity; will gladden. the hearts and nerve
with strength the hands of our party
in Tennessee ;. will be an omen of
bright promise to all our sympathiz-
ing friends in the great free North,
and strike new terror to the hearts Of
the routed and dismayed Conserva-
tives, who will see in our victory the
death-blow given totheir last hope of
ever again regaining the ascendency
in this State.
To prevent what, to them, would be
so utter an overthrow, the Conserva-
tives are laboring by every means, in

strength, hoping through our dissenr

to say how far our enemies shall sue
coed in their Inefarious schemes, how.

your friends and promote the interests

ventions which placed in nomination
the various Radical Republican car
didates, who are now asking your suf-
frages; and in doing SO, silence for
ever the calumnious accusations of
fraud and unfairness, which interested
Conservatives and defeated Republi-
cans so hippanffy hufl against us:
In the latter part of June last, a
more perfect organization being deem
ed necessary to conduct the important
canvass then going on, the Republican
Central Committee for the City was
~ appointed by the five Republican
organizations then in existence here.
In this Central Committee all of these
! organizations were represented, and
that it'was fairly and properly consti-
tuted, is to be presumed from the fact,
that no complaint was ever uaade.of it.
by any person connected with the
Radical party, and its authority was
always recognized by all the Radical
organizations. ns4s sYs,gsa snss =
