Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-09-11

Colonel A. J. Kellsr made his first
appearance last night before a Memphis
audience in the New Memphis Theater.
He had not a large, but an appreciative
audience. As we publish a newspaper,
which reports all that occurs Of interest,
We give Colonel KeIlar's harangue in
full. It is difficult to locate his enter
tsinment. We are unablet0 tell whether.
he made his appearance last night as
q tragedian or as q comedian
Ee would be a success as a ground and
lofty tumbler, or the India-Fubber man
who can place himself in all sorts Of
strange postures. Our greatest O6ec-
tons to Colonel Kellar is his fondness
for enigmas, riddles, conundrums and
charades. His performances last night
ut the Theater puzzled his audience.
IN this fast age Of utility, progress and
enterprise, when the world is graphing
18th the real and substantial, we have
no disposition to waste Our time in SOW
ing conundrums. A friend who has
tie key to unlock Colonel Kellar's cab
met Of mysteries informs US that he in
tends to say by the speech which We
publish this morning, that he is a can
didste for Congress! This may possibly
be a correct Interpretation Of his pur-
poses, but in bordering the labyrinth
Of words we have been unable to dis
cover what policy be win pursue should
he get to Congress. We shall therefore
ignore Colonel Kellar SIS apoliticaI mys-
terry during the canvass, and look to the
two candidates whose positions are
broad, distinct and well defined. Bar
bour Lewis is the Radical candidate for
Congress. Everybody knows where
he stands. He is for Grant and his cor
rupt and infamous administration; for
the perpetuatiOn of hate, that such car
petbag thieves a himself may rob and
plumber the people. His opponent Is
Hon. L. c. Haynes, a gentleman, "saHs
Peur Ct sans r~eprOche'-a states
man Of lofty ability and a pa
triot who has faithfully served the
people Of Tennessee in the Leg
islature Of the State and in the Confed-
erate Congress. The views of Colonel
Haynes are as distinct as the mondays
sun. He Is for Horace Greeley, peace,
amnesty, honesty, retrenchment, re-
form, and would unite the North and
South on the basis. Of liberty, equality
and fraternity. These are some things
Colonel Haynes may do; but there is
one thing he will not do. During this Z
canvass he viii not perform the part Of {
q hyena, and drag from their peaceful
and honored graves the bones Of such {
statesmen as John Bell and Stephen A. 2
Douglas for the purpose Of subscribing {
despicable party ends. Such is the con c
test in this district. It is be 7
Barbour Lewis and l. G. {
Haynes. We shah support the latter &
as viii every man in this district who de q
sires the defeat Of Lewis. Colonel II
Haynes was unanimously nominated a
by a body Of as honest men as ever con- \
a convention, and he and his
repel with scorn every L
to asperse their integrity
and honesty. And what is more, Cello z
1el Haynes viii be triumphantly elect g
ed. Cheering news comes to US from
every point of the district. Hi nomi-
nation gives universal satisfaction to (
the Conservatives, and they are =
working for him in earnest. TiD-tP
viii give a solid Democratic \
vote for Haynes. There is not a whisper
II objection to him in Fayette. Harde-
nan is working earnestly and unitedly
or Haynes. We have not yet heard Of p
!. single man in Shelby county who pro Z
to support the Independent 4
'andidate. Friends, push on the n
to victory Maintain your
,rganization intact. Let US work for Ill
Haynes, our standard-beareT. His
character and blameless life: his =
a an orator and his lofty patri- Y
tism as a citizen and craftsmanship as
politician should Gus up every Dem
crat, Conservative and Liberal IN the
and kindIe an enthusiasm that P'
gn extend to every nook and corner Of
be district. ,
