Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-12-11
THE M~AYORALTY.

Editors appeal: One of the most i'm
I portant matters now demanding the at
tention of the taxpayers and citizens Of
Memphis is the selection of a suitable can
/ didate for Mayor, at the ensuing election.
{ The qualities required are honesty, ener-
" and hrst-rate financial ability. The
( candidate should be thoroughly identified
with the interests of the city, so that the
proper administration of the city finances
would be not only a matter of impor-
lance to him as u public officer, but also
as a private citizen. All mean and mar
row ~prejudices should be discarded, n
the ablest and best man chosen.
We have no man in our midst who
unites all the necessary qualifications IN a
5 higher degree than II. NJ. L~owenstine.
His success in the management of his
private affairs, affords the strongest pre-
sumption that the interests of the city
would prosper in his hands. His energy
is uubOunded, his business capacity OF a
very high order. and his standing in the
commercial world, both at home and
abroad, would prove of very material adj
vantage in case the city should be pressed
for meney hereafter, as she frequently
has been ii the past.
Mr.. Lowenstine's political course is
well known to all our people. He has
been the persistent and unyieldiDg foe to
all the infamies of Radicalism, and was
among NE nEsE 10 Idl-G Ills NOltt dZALilSL
the iniquity of white acknowledgements.
This was at a time when the tongues OF
many were silent, who Ecw loudly boast
of their services.
Should Mr.. Lowenstine be put in nOmi-
nation, and consent &c run, the people
might confidently expect a pure and able
administration of their affairs during his
term of office. Although his large private
interests require his attention, they
should be held secondary to the public
good, and we therefore demand of him to
permit the use of his name before the en-
suing Municipal Convention.

Editors Appeal: IF Mr.. John t. STRAIT
ton will allow his name to be used as a
candidate tor Mayor, he will be supported
by MANY CITIZENS.
Editors Appeal: I notice inthis morn
ing's AUGInacBe the names Of several
gentlemen, who, the papers state, are IN
derstoOd to be certainly in the field for the
MayOralty. Among them Is my name.
Now, Messrs. Editors, | am probably the
last man in Memphis who has any aspira-
tons for office of any kind, and certainly
would not run for the Office of Mayor of
Memphis, knowing AS l do the perplexa-
ton of the position. l am satisfied fur
Their, that no man holding my views, as to
the absolute necessity of reducing the sal
aries of our city officials, from Mayor
down, and the regulating and reducing
the cost of our iniquitous system of pub
lie schOnls-placing them under the con-
troll of the general government of the
city-cOuld be elected to the Mayoralty.
Thanking the gentleman who compliment
ted me with a call in your issue ofthe 9th,
l nav the honor to be, etc,
WIN. RICHARDSON HUNT.
