What His Friends I'm sumner Think
About Him.


GALLATIN, Tenn, Aug. s, 1874 At
meeting Of a portion Of the citizens of
Sumner county, held at the courthouse in
Galiatin, on motion Mai. David l. John
son was called 10 the chair and Mr. J. 4.
LAGER elected Secretary.
The chairman stated that the object of
The meeting was TO give an expression Of
the wish of the citizens in regard to the Sc
lection of a candidate for Governor at the
ensuing election, when Col. Jno. l.. SAT-
arans introduced the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Democratic State Con-
yention will assemble at Nashville on the
18th of August, and as it is desirable that
our people should give an expression of
their opinions in regard to the various can
didateS for Governor whose names have
been mentioned; therefore,
Resolved, By this meeting, OF a portion
OF the citizens of the county, that cOnSid-
erinG the present embarrassed financial
condition OF the country, We need at the
head OF the State Government one who
haS shown by his past record that he
possessed an ability and experience
IN that direction; we are of the
opinion that it would be a safe expert
melt for a while, at least, not to look to
political circles for a candidate for Govern
or, but 10 seek for one who has occupied
his Lifetime in pursuits that would give
him a more accurate and practical knOwl-
edge Of our financial necessities. and of the
;ys lie and commerce of the country; we
should 20 to our farming, mechanical
and mercantile circles for representatives of
our interests, who are able to grapple with
the various questions that now trouble our
people, especially that Of taxes, and to lead
US out of debt TO presently.
We believe that in Michael Burns, of
Nashville, we have such a man; commenc-
Ing life As a mechanic, he has steadily adj
vanced until he has become one Of the most
successful and prominent business men of
the State, and has evinced a capacity to at
tend to his own business So well that we
believe that the same financial talents can
be made available in the service of the
State: Of the highest personal integrity, aud
enjoying with al! who know him a repu-
tation that cannot be impea.hed for hon
esty or ability, We believe that We could
not do better than 90 elect him our next
Governor; therefore,
Resolved, That Michael Burns, citizen,
is our first choice for Governor of Tennes-
see, subject to the action of the State Con-
ventiOn.
Mr.. Saffarans advocated their adoption in
a speech Of some length, which made a
strong impression on those present. and on
a vote being taken the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
On motion the county newspapers were
requested to copy these proceedings.

Union Men
YER the Murder Of iii

Over the Murder Of BIIduIG
NEW YORK, Aug. lO.-The excitement
over the Kildulf murder is intense in the
eastern district of Brooklyn, where the de-
ceased was looked upon as one of the
leaders of the Plasterers' URion. The i'll
feeling between members of the Union and
non-sOciety men is very high, and great
anger is manifested toward the traitors, as
they are designated by the Union men. All
Saturday large numbers of masOnS cOngTe-
gated in the neighbOrhOOd where the deed
was committed and around the station,
talking excitedly of the murder and the
subject of working eight or ten hours a day.
Kildulf-s special luminosity seems TO
have been directed against James
Burke, whom, he first attacked
when he entered the building. and
he had been heard several days previous TO
make threats against him specially. At
the meeting of the members of the Union
the non-society men were severely con-
demned for their action, and resolutions
were passed expressing profound sorrow at
Kildnln's death. The funeral took place
yesterday from Kildulf's late residence and
men. y
Jno. Ewell fatally stabbed his wife at
their residence, Brooklyn. He alleges as
the cause of the act that she was unfaithful
to him. gr
