RUsINEss WEN.

The business men of Memphis have long
complained that selfish plaoe-hunters run
the political mschines-thst thieves have
been suffered to do their nominating, yot-
ing and fnsnciering. Now, they have
besn permitted to put forward q
candidate Of their own. They have
been offered an opportunity to take
the city's affairs into their own
hands, and to thus aid in rescuing
themselves and friends from the universal
reign Of corruption. If the buainess men
fail 10 vote to-day, after the canvass has
been shaped by themselves, it will show
that they are unequal to their opportuni-
ties, and hereafter the candidates will be
and elected by the piacs-hunters,
who, SO they eeure the spOils, care moth

NO T 1o.pArl

The contest for the election of mayor to-
day has 10 party significance. A large
majority Of the people Of Memphis desired
TO retain the Invaluable services OF Mayor
johnson, and were unwilling to trust bis
nomination to q convention packed for his
defeat BY crafty GspiIsnts, while he was
oeEising and Perfecting means to save the
city credit. Many Democrats conscien-
tieEzy believed that John sons efficiency
IS mayor entitled him to a reelection.
Others we're elsmorous for q convsn-
ton. This honest disagreement should
make no ineutrals today. Because
the advocates of a convention could
not induce q msJority Of their party friends
70 concur with them, that is no reason
that they should get on the fence and
refuse TO take sides between two candi-
dates for mayor, when one is a consistent
Democrat and The other is a Radical SUM-
ported by Barbour Lewis and the Radical
adventures who have p~lundered the
people Of Memphis. The reason which
prompts Democrats, as psrtissns, to re. !
