"a. CASEY YOUSG-THE CIVIL RIGHTS

H.CAsEYYOUSG-T CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL.
The Democrats and Conservatives Of
this district have abundant cause to be
proud Of their stsndsrd-bearer. He is
making & most brilliant canvass. Mod
est and unobtrusive in his msnners, ii
was only amOng his intimate friends
and at the bar that his solid abilities
were known and fully appreciated.
Colonel Young has been in the canvass
only few weeks, and during that time
no man ever made more reputation.
His opening speech at Bolivar has re-
ceived universal commentator. Its
sbility and ststesmsnlike utteranees
have attracted the attention Of the
Tennessee press, which is lavish in its
praise. The Jackson Wing and TJ-i5sne,
which is potential in State politics, thus
speaks OF the canvass in this district:
The canvass in the tenth congressional dis
trict opened al Bolivar on Monday LAST The
renort OF the sueeehes Of Aiessrs. Young and
lewis, published in full in the APPEAL and
a Huluuchc, clearly show that the selection OF
Lr. Young by the Bolivar convention was
wise. me Memphis district will be no longer
Iulsrepresented by Barbour Lewis De COM

they viii now contribute to swell the Demo
cratic vote in congress, from which and from
which alone can come the permanent pros
perlty and freedom Of the south.
The people Of the tenth congressional
district viii honor themselves in elect
ing such a man as Casey Young TO con-
gress. He is nobly battling for the
right, and he must be triumphantly
elected. Democrats and Conservatives
of the metropolitan district of Tennes-
see, 20 to work with determination to
wipe out the blot which has rested upon
you since unfortunate circumstances
conspired to enable Barbour Lewis to
crawl into congress, where he was
member always prominent and prompt
in receiving his pay, but almost invsri-
ably absent when his name was called.
Let US send q representative in fact TO
the next congress Of the United States
one who is not only white outside but
white inside also. Let us send man
who will not barter his manhood, his
race and his own blood for power and
position. We want no such man. Let
US have one whose Caucasian blood
flows through no reereant veins, but
whose every pulsation will be for his
people, and who will demonstrate his
fidelity to his constituents by remain
ing in his seat and recording his
name for or against every meas
ure passed upon by congress. Let us
send man to congress who never voted
TO disfranchise the white tax-paying peo-
pie Of Tennessee, whose name is not
tainted with corruption and jobbery-a
man whom we can trust with our dear
est interests. such a man is II.

by majority Of five thousand the man
they can trust, and who has nObly stood
by the south in the ruin and desolatiOn
which such men a. Barbour Lewis has
entailed upon the southern people.
There is one vote Colonel Young will
never give. He win certainly never
cast three votes to take up the civil
rights bill out Of its usual order, for the
purpose Of facilitating its passage. Bar
bOur Lewis is striving TO shirk this ques-
ton. But unquestionsbly the civilrights
bill, that greatest, blacklist, and foulest
Of all Radical monstrosities, is the over
shsdowiDg question Of the day. All
other issues dwindle into insignifcance
when this strOciOus measure looms up |
in all its colossal infamy. Democrats |
and Conservatives! Men Of the tenth |
congressional district, the civil rights |
bill throws its dark, ominous shadows
across your gery threshold. Its baleful
influence is penetrating the most sacred
and holy places; the very firesides,
where sits wife, and around which gath
er your blooming daughters, are in
volved. Is not the preservation Of your
homes worth an effort? Is the proba-
bility Of having your wife or daughter
insulted on the cars, at the hotels, In
places Of amusement, in the school |
room, even at the graveyard, sufficient
TO arouse you 10 action? Then arouse,
white men Of the tenth congressional |
district, and hurl Barbour Lewis and |
his infamous social equality measures
into that obscurity and disgrace which
await them st the hands of an insulted
and indignant people. Lewis is recog-
nized At Washington as the friend |
OF the civil rights bill, as indi-
Gated by mis- shree different
votes. His reelection would be regard
Ell as an Endorsement Of that abhorrent
measure. This alone is sufficient to
weld together, in an invincible pha.
lanX, every man, woman and child il
this district who has an honest drop Of
pure Caucasian blood coursing through
their veins. Colonel Young is exposing
the infamies Of the civil rights bill; he
is arousing the people to a sense Of the
great dangers that threaten society, and
81 their own duty OF meeting and repell-
ing il, and on the fifth Of November he
must be rewarded for his labors by tri-
umphant election to the seat in con-
gress, so often vacated by the present
incumbent.
