For organization complete and thorough
In all It's ramiicstions, commend US to the
orthodox Democratic party. Yesterday
the black-and-tan rabble halIQoed, and
shouted, and blew brass horns, and
sounded parsdoxical gongs in the shape
OF m~endacious dodgers, and kicked up
anticA of all sorts, but when il came down
10 Voting in 3 solid phalanx the People
were. to use the yernacular, hdrl No
lodging, no pulling greasy plantation
negroes up to the polls, no splitting of
threats yelling for this ma or that, but a
quiet, determined resolve to do their
whole duty. And you see the result.
Considerable excitement existed at
at the DeSoto street polls, in the Seventh
ward, but everything, fortunately, was
quieted before anything serious happened.
Just before the polls closed in the SeY-
enth ward, a young man fired a pistol, and
there was considerable scattering for a
while. No body hurt. Young man
arrested.
The negroes voted en- mdsss In the Sew
enth ward for Solomon 2. Walker.
A negro-Walker band played the " Girl
I left behind me-" at the Causey street,
Seventh ward, polls. They can play 1.-THE
Candidate left behind me" this morning.
A negro paraded the Seventh ward with
a placard I" Sam. P. Walker for Mayor
An Irishman remarked, I'VE know him
by the company he keeps"
We are obliged TO Democratic friend
p. G.. Burke, for polite attentions and
.avors, which we stand ready to requite.@
During the evening, at the Seventh
| Ward polls, near the corner Of Beal street,
q big, stout Sam Walker voter, mounted
the wheel of a wagon, the progress of
which was arrested by the crowd, and an
nounced that he was sorry to say that

had withdrawn from the contest. The
untruthful words were scarcely out of his
mouth before he was stricken tothe earth,
IA ling near Mr.. Johnson, who happened
to be present. That gentleman then
mounted the wheel, told who he was,
and stated that !he was still running and
would continue to run TO the end OF the
contest.
THE CLOsE
The APPEAL office was the scene of
much excitement last night. The build
ing was illuminated, and a row of candles
along the sidewalk lent an additional
glare TO a light that iliUmined Jefferson
street to Main and Front. Roman can
dies, Chinese fre-crackers, rockets, blue
lights and other fireworks, lent an ex-
element to the occasion that made it one
of the most interesting ever witnessed in
Memphis on ascene of the close of a po-
uLltdl CANVASS Inc SO4alltA ollNEE Ddlta
composed of a company of handsome
young Democrats and genuine pa
triots, early entered upon the
scene, and made the air vocal with patri-
otto and other soul-stiring airs. They
also visited the Sun Office; serenaded
Mayor John Johnson, the editors of the
Ledger, and other gentlemen who had
been instrumental in the grand result.
They then, after some two ours absence,
-,Nrrna1 IN tho AnDEAT nfrlnn and for
maIly rendered the compliment of a sere-

fairly, honestly and with ability represent
the CITY. He congratulated them that it
was again determined that white men
should rule, govern and control the affairs
OF Memphis. The APPEAL mad l9bored
