The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1874-07-03

Wonder if the nine or ten hundred sleep
ing voters of Hardeman county cannot
be induced to open their eyes before the
next election. Gentlemen who can vote
and who do not vote should be strongly
persuaded to take in wholesome draughts
of the ali healing sober, second thought,
and then march up to the polls like so
many Georgia Majors and make Rome
how'll Gentlemen don't stand on the
order of your coming, but come right
along and join the redeeming army of
Tennessee Remember, Tennessee's del~
.egation in Congress is strongly radical,
and remember also that this should not
be; and remember also that such would
not be the case if you would come out
and pell your strength in opposition to
the very men whom you delight to
"euss plenty" Wake up, pick your
hints in the August election, and when
November rolls around be ready to fire
single shots. The strength of every
man opposed to the Radical party in this
State should be utilized. If this is done,
then our delegation in Congress will be
right side up with care" and the Leg
islature as solid as brick, which latter
will give to our State one more Demo-
cratic Senator in the Senate of the United
States Don't stay at home on the day
of election but come out and vote-se-
lect good men to fill public stations, and
thus do your duty to your country and
TO your fellow>man.
In these days, when we hear so much
about the corruption of conventions, it is
refreshing to hear that the one lately
held at Nashville for the purpose of
nominating candidate for Chancellor
in that district and candidates fer county
Offices, gave eminent satisfaction to the
people, and in the opinion of the Banner
and Union and American the nominees
will be triumphantly elected, if the con-
servatives will turn out properly on the
9th of August, Notwithstanding the closer
ness of the vote in Davidson. OF the
delegates and the convention the Bans
Rer says
A more intelligent, deliberate, even
tempered and fair minded delegation has
seldom been seen here, and from those
who looked upon the body within the
bar of the court room, arose a general
expression to the sentiment that the of
fees of the county were safe in the hands
of such men.
There was a good deal of discussion of
relative merits here and there with knots
of delegates, but the acutest sense could
not detect anything the least foul or
treacherous. There was no packing that
could be heard of, and the whole con-
duct Of the convention was fair as day.
1t was not pervaded with any sense Of
uncertainty or carelessness, but those
earnest and honest men who marched
forward to the call of their names and
deposited their ballots for the candidate
of their districts choice as they con-
ceived, had q present sense of duty be-
fore them, and felt the more than ordi~
narily reasonable assurance that the re>
suit of the final count, in each contest
would clearly indicate who was actually
to be the servant of the county after the
election, which takes place August 6.
And in regard to the same the Union
and american has the following:
If we were to remark that the action
of the County Democratic and Conser-
vative Convention yesterday, came fully
up to popular anticipatious. we would
convey but an inadequate idea of the
general satisfaction expressed at the re-
suit As the convention was in its ma
terial, one Of the most thoroughly repre-
sentative bodies that ever assembled in
this city for such a purpose, so is the
ticket which it has placed in the field
one of the strongest and most accepta>
BILE that could have Eeen submitted to the
suffrage of the people.
Now the question arises, if the people
of Davidson can have a convention which
bears no semblance of corruption anC
whose deliberations prove so satisfactO
