SEARCHING FOR RENEGADEs.


The friends of Sam. p. Walker, A.
Woodward and ]. Harvey Mathes need
not fiatter themselves into the belief
that they will have no opposition.
Before the first Thursday in August the
Radicals will have a full ticket in the
field, and with a hope of securing
strength three purchased Democrats viii
be placed on the ticket with Curry and
Mclean. The Radicals are industri-
Ouly searching for a traitor. They hold
Upthe tempting gold, and so anxious are
they for a bidder, that it very truthfully
may be said treachery would command
a premium about this time. 1t is
certain that q regular Radical
ticket will be organized so soon
as the renegades can be discovered. The
programme is TO place an Irishman and
a German on the ticket. We ask our
foreign-born citizensto think before they
take the fatal leap; TO pause upon the
Precipice and ponder well before they
commit the disgrace of deserving their
friends and joining their enemies. 1t has
been said that the Irish had forty dele
gates in the late convention, ard it
seems they ought TO be satisfied. The
German element Of Memphis istoO hos
tile to the ~corruPtions Of Grants admin
istratiOn-tOO much the friends of Carl
Schurz-to lend the nameof their nation
atty to a combination in the inter
est Of Grant and in opposition to Horace
Greeley, who desires that peace, tran
guilty and honesty in government so
consistent and agreeable to the German
character. We trust that there is not a
single Democrat or Conservative in
Shelby county base enough to prove re Z
creant to duty, silly enoughto be deluded
into determination with the Radicals Z
against whom theyhave so long warred.
The Radicals can, at any moment, dig }
up three dirty traitors TO subserve their q
despicable purposes. But they are i
searching for names that will give ,
strength to their ticket, which as f.,
it now stands is doomed to iguOminiOus q.
defeat. 1t will be a difficult matter to y
enlist respectable Democrats in so base II
and unprincipled course II the Con- r
sentative masses will spurn the over r
tuTes Of the Radicals, and spit upon the :
offices they would purchase with n
dishonor, Curry and Mclean will be I,
forced 10 call q meeting Of the Loyal r
Leagues and ask the negroes who b
nominated them two years ago to fur sI
nish the candidates. The ticket nomi- "a
mated by the recent convention m
Is sweeping over the country, and all Sc
opposition to it will bend as the frail Al
reed bends to the rushing tornado. The
ticket has been hailed by the people,
the oppressed taxpayer and the work 81,
masses-as the signal of reform. A ;
vote for it is a vote for Horace Greeley, n
peace and honesty, and a rebuke to the n
corrupt, ignorant and reckless dynasty, !
for four years has misruled and de- 4,
bauched the nation. 1t is such a signal, n
and we have faith that the peo- -
pie viii recognize it, and rise A
m their majesty to welcome 1t. II
The enthusiasm and the shouts IN
Of the people come to us from 81
every part of Shelby county, and thrills -
and kindles the spirit like the mellow -
OF a bugle. Since the orgsniza- =,
ion Of Shelby county the people have !,
never had offered for their suffrage, a :
ticket comprising more elements of
trength; men more capable of making
and efficient officers than that
ecently nominated; and they have a -,
wo-fold incentive for support ;,
Nc it, for while electing good -
men to office they rebuke and aid >,
n crushing out the pestiferous g.
'arty whose teaching destroys all broth ~.
blasts all social relations, con-
-erts friendships into hatreds the most
Malignant, and perverts the natural
ympathies Of the heart by poisoning
he very fountain of the stream which :;
ives vitality to the nation. Men, who H.,
years ago were charged with the
Malice Of iends, and bestrode Radical
sm in its career Of rage, envy, disfran-
hisement, murder and persecution, and
7ho still endorse the usurpations Of
will be deluded if they expect
be people Of Shelby county to kiss soi
be hand that has so often smitten In,
Men who have been nominated wit
y Loyal Leagues, when they had su
the zenith and perfection Of viii N,
iiny and fraud, and before they per- he
he'd ignobly amid the evidences of alr
leir infamy, cannot now hope to ride ~
ito office by sneering att convention of
ne people and the cry Of ''no politics in
Offices" The popular cry is ma
onal peace, honesty in office. These
,nnot be secured by voting Cor candi- ha
ltes standing up to their arm-pits in Co
le cess-pOOl Of Radicalism. S
