Al meeting Of the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the Memphis industrial Exposi-
ton, held last night, we were made to
tremble for the character for enterprise
which has heretofore characterized you.
After months Of work, there remains
10 ne taken Of the twenty-five thou
sand dollars Of stock necessary TO COM
plete the building, which promises to be
useful as well as ornamental, still
four thousand dollars. This is re-
ally discreditable, viewed by the
light Of the expositions in other
cities, the success Of which has
led to their permanency. 1t also
furnishes occasion for s0rrowful regret
that the Board Of Directors lone Of the
best for such purpose that could be Sc
lected), have had 10 trench upon their
private means to advance the scheme
10 its present stage. Here in g city that
has taken a fresh and a wonderfully
long step forward in the road to growth
and wealth, with more than thous-
and men engaged in business of one
kind or another, the comparatively
paltry sum Of twenty-five thousand dol
lars necessary to complete a building
that vii bring Us millions has not vet
been subscribed! Not thirty dollars
head, and yet there remains four thou
sand dollars TO be taken. The Mardi-
gras carnival Of last spring netted us
over one million dollars spent by visi-
tors, surely this Exposition viii do bet
Ter, appealing, as it viii, to our best in
stincts and impulses. 1t is not a (
private speculation, it is not
projected for the gain or profit
Of any man or men, but
solely and altogether for the good and 4
benefit Of the city. The gentlemen who |
have charge of it are engaged in a gra-
tuitOus work, for which they will be
content to receive the eclat of success.
Surely they should have the help they
ask. Twenty-Five thousand dollars is /
but little divided among seventy-five
thousand people, and should long since
have been subscribed. Weappeal to our
business men, to all our people, to come
forward and subscribe not only this pit
iful four thousand dollars, but as much
more as may be necessary to place the
Exposition beyond contingency. We
make an earnest appeal, and hope it will
be responded TO literally.

raj W. A. Quarles, Elector at Large. The Gen.

wiley schemes and rnachinstions Of the ad-
ministrationisss and their allies, which he
styled the destruetionists, ana urged the peo-
pie 10 the necessity and importance Of imme-
diate organization and harmonious unaninaity

they we're endeavoring TO impose upon the

baitlLnOre Convention in almost unanimously
indorsing the nominees.
