view AND THEN. cURRV's CURRIC-
ULUM.
It was, we believe, during Curry's
first contest for the Shrievalty, Beau
mont being Chief of Police-it was in
those blessed days when BrownloW
reigned and his "pet lambs''-of whom
Curry was the friskiest-were emptying
the State Treasury and destroying the
States credit-it was then that Curry
first became current in this community.
Beaumont, stiff prim, regal in dignity
and bearing, reigned in Memphis. He
had been created a satrap by the Nash
vile militia despOtism. Curry was
the prime minister Of the Metro
poIitan Police ehieftain, and it will
be remembered what terrible efforts
were made by the potent pair to achieve
success for Curry. There was a decree
issued by the mighty Chief of Police.
1t was, as nearly a We al remember,
in these words: "No negro tOhOse coat is
not cEalked for Curry DiU be permitted
to eatsrthe cftyto-dag6yhe Metropolitan
police force" Such was the law of the
Modes and Persianson electiond day when
Curry first sought to win the ~shrievalty.
But Curry is a good man now. He has
made terms with Barbour Lewis, and is
in treaty with Shaw, who may surren-
der if Curry comes down properly, and
then no colored mans back need be
nchaIked." On the contrary, the black
est man is now white enough to pass the
city's confines and deposit his kindly
ballot for the smiling, sunny ~adventurer.
It is well enough, however, for those
colored people who were excluded from
the city some years ago, because un-
chalked, to get themselves whitewashed
now, or they may not be deemed good
enough to whisky with Curry.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-07-11

One Of the wisest and best citizens o.
the county writes that the acceptance by
this gentleman Of the call by his host.
O ffriends to become a candidate for Sen
atOr from Shelby county, has created
most marked satisfaction in the public
mind. When such men as E. Ensley
come to the front, we may consider the
country safe and the downward ten
dency Of events decidedly arrested.
Heretofore, the great trouble has been to
get f~rst-class, solid men to leave the
retiracy Of private life andlaunch out on
the sea Of politics. Nothing but duty
could call such q man as Ensley from
the " private station" TO the stormy ex-
perienees Of public life. His political
and personal integrity are above all sus-
picion or Impeachment. His sound
judgment and excellent tact are known
to very many Of the first business men
Of Memphis. Born ard reared in Da-
wilson county, he could exert a local in
fiuence at the capital far superior to that
Of any other man, perhaps, in the State.
Imbued thoroughly with the principles
and policy of the Democracy, he is
no politician, nevertheless Is devoted
to the interests Of the people at large,
and to Conservative government. With
an enlarged and comprehensive grasp OF
public affairs, he has no aspiration above
the welfare Of his e%ountrymen and the
glory Of the State. Happily, his own
Interests are identical with those Of the
people, and possessing the sound and
enlightened Judgment and the great in
fuence which he does, he viii be en-
abled to serve Shelby county with an
ability and efficiency second to none
other.
