We voters of the Third Ward.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Being a personal friend Of Mr.. Nc
Gavock, and firm friend Of the Demo-
cratic party, / conceive 1t to be my duty to
him, and justice to the principles of De
mocracy, to make statement of facts.
However, being an "Antideluvian Fossil"
think it exceedingly doubtful whether or
not my advice will be taken. At any
rate, I'll risk it. and believe that a MAORI.
ty, a large majority, of the "a. FPS" will
coincide with me in advising every one,
young and old, to vote for the regularly
elected nominee. One of the principal
and chief features of Democracy is con.
sistency, and when a people, be the body
ever so great or small, 60 into convention
for the purpose of nominating candidate
l hold that said candidate, and he alone,
should be given the support of every man
who claims to be Democrat, | further
claim that no one, at this time more esq
pecially, should think OF sustaining an
independent candidate" You, men of
the third ward, have submitted your
claims to a conventions; abide by and cup
port its decision. Think Of supporting no
man whose friends abuse his opponent
for being upon the "Thornberg" ticket,
and at the came time places himself there,
not, however, for the purpose of being
elected, for of that he has no hope, but
to try and defeat the regular nominee.
And by all means vote for none who are
blindly led by certain faction, and thereN
by jeopardizes the interests of people.

M. G. Cotton Declines 10 Run for Mag
istrafe,

To the Editors Of the Union and American.
A few days ago l announced my name
in your paper as a candidate for msgis-
trate, believing that every man in the 1st
district of Davidson county was eligible
to the office, but l find that the registrar
of Davidson county has announced that
vacancies have occurred in several wards,
snd that candidates to fill said vacancies
Iaust live in the wards named by him.
This seems to be an extraordinary sssumpr
ton of power. Upon examination Of the
records of the County Court, ! am told
and find, they do not tell from what ward
Magistrates are elected, but simply that
they are elected from the FIRST district of
Davidson county. l was informed by Mr..
Mulloy that he got bis information from
the County Court Clerks Office. There is
a Misrepresentation some where. VIII the
officials named EXPLAIN | am no longer
a candidate, but will wait until ouch time
az we can get correct information
as TO whether there ere any vacancies, and
If there sre whether they are from the vas
rious wards or from the lat district of Da-
wilson county.
/ would like to know when The law was
passed amending the charter of the city of
Nashville so that nine tenths of the Citi-
zens Of Nashville have the power 10 vote
for candidate. and yet not one Of the
nine tenths of the citizens are eligible to
hold the said office they have the power TO
fill by their votes. NJ. c. COTTON.

Seldom, if ever, have the people of Nash
vile been called upon to cast their ballots
n an election of more importance to their
ocal and business interests than that which
occurs to-day. They know without being
told that the government of the city must
pass into the control of competent and re-
liable men or remain in the hands of the
despoilers, with continued bankruptcy and
final ruin as the result. The duty of the
day is plain. What good citizen will neg

Mars bank was the centre of attraction and
interest. kilograms we're received almost every
FIVE minutes, and men were rushing in to buy
or sell gold, as the case might be. every mo-
ment. Nothing like it has been witnessed since
the war. Our banks did not seem to have much
confidence in the advance and were ordering
sales by telegraph in New York constantly. The
bull movement came to a crisis but we must
say it was most adrOitly managed. In q state Of
peace, few SPECTATORS, by skillful manipula-
ton in less than f0rty-eight hours, ran up the
