Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-12-18

Tennessee. The effect OF making this
sectional question IN the election OF SEN
ator and State officers generally, il to
give the more popui0us portion nf the
state decidedly the advantage. United
States senators and State officers should
be elected because OF their qualifications,
without regard to the part Of the State
they live in. The idea OF making on
which side Of the Tennessee river or Of
the Cumberland mountains a man lives
determine his fitness for a State Office,
seems to me strange. II West Tennes-
zee now has the governor, Il this any
reason whyshe should not have the sem
Rtor, II she has the best qualified and
most suitable man. And II Middle or
East Tennessee has that man, the fact
that customhouse is wanted at Men,
phis should not prevent his election.
The simple and only question il, who
among all the candidates is best qualifi-
ed TO render service 10 the State and to
adorn the position. TO this it must come
at last, AMI all mere sectional Issues
should be discarded.

NASHVILLE. Deoembs

NASHVILLE, December II.
EDITORS APPEAL-Much is said in
regard TO what part 0i the State the
senator should come from. It seems TO
me that an undue Importance Il at
tached to the mere question OF locality.
A man qualified 10 be senator should,
and hope will, have breadth Of views
sufficient to take in the whole State,
and would legislate for all parts Of the
State impartially. The different por-
tiOns OF Tennessee have no antag0nsstic
interests. The people OF Middle sud
East Tennessee are nearly, il not quite
rs much interested in the growth and
prosperity Of Memphis, III seeing her
get cUstOmhOuse and in having the
Mississippi river improved, es are the
citizens Of West Tennessee: and on the
