RADICALIsH AND THE INDEPExB-
Eats.

The Independents have a hard time
Of it. Their tri ulstions are great, and
they have that sympathy which men
struggling with adversely always inspire.
But il is evident that some kind Of 3
mon erel r'cket will be spawned upon
The Community hefore TIE election. The
Democrats I'D Conservatives should
turn their Gces Ike Il ut sgaiust the
disOrgauizerE. They shuu d Iepudiste
the men who attend ward meetings
vote at primary elections and partici-
pate 10 conventions, and then turn
around, refuse to vote for the nominees.
and clamor FOR an. Independent ticket
The people Of Shelby repudlate such
dishonesty, and viii, at the ballot-Uox
on the 9Th Of November, pronounce a
fitting Judgment On such conduct. Men
who cannot rule must not be permitted
10 ruin. The disOrRanizers propose to
break up their party organization, and
turn the county over 70 the control Of
Radicals They fiatter themselves into
the belief that if they can destroy the
great white organization which tri-
umphed IN August last, hoping
That IN the settling, muddy whirI-
pool that will eusue they
may possibly come to the ton. and
secure place and power. The danger oil
restoring the Radicals TO power in Shell |
hy county is fully realized by the DEM
ccrats and Conservatives. The defeat
OF our nominees for the legislature. the
election OF an independent Radical tick
ct, would inevitably be the opening Of a
new era Of domestic strife. and the
good work accomplished in Apgusf
would be unsettled. The defeat Of the
Democratic nominees for the Iepisla.
iure would carry Shelby county back IN
the days when Barbour Lewis and ia |
Shaw we're interested in that fat iob- |
the county Jail. If the people do not re-
alize these facts now, as we think they
DO, IL is not the fault Of the Radicals /
themselves, who are constantly proving
how unfit they are to he entrusted with
a seat in the Legislature OF position Of
any kind. The WORK Of extirminatipg
has commenced in good
earnest in the northern States. ri
Shelby county should be the first TO
wsver, she would become a by-word
and kissing throughout the State. In
this county the Radicals are PLAYING
sharp game. The result OF the election /
in August last sdmonishes them Of the
certain defeat that would follow regu- |
larry nominated Radical ticket, and
hence they are hunting for Democratic
hgure-heads, behind which will stand |
in solid phalanx the negroes, and Lewis, |
Dyer, Eaton, Smith, Patterson, and the
whole gang OF adventures who have /
pluDdered the tsx-paying people, and

SHELBY COUNTY TICKET

GEORGE r. Powell WITHDRAWS-
COLONEL LUKE W. FINLAY SUB
sTITUTEB.
twill be seen from another column
that George R. Powell has Withdrawn
As a candidate TO represent Shelby coun-
ty in the lower house Of the next Ten
nessee legislature. Having accepted a
position which viii require his personal
attention, Mr.. Powell viii be unable to
give his time to the canvass or to 8 ses-
sion Of The legislature. There will be
general expression Of regret that cir
cumstances have forced Mr.. Powell to
withdraw from the ticket. His great
popularity gives strength to the ticket
upon which he was nominated. He
hiss long been in public position in
Shelby county, and he has kept his
hands spotless and unsullied, and in his
retirement from the canvass Mr.. Powell
will carry with him the good wishes Of
every Democrat and Conservative. bis
election to the legislature was not
question Of doubt; but imperative Ne
csssity has forced him to the course he
has pursued. The executive committee
has been exceedingly fortunate in sup
plying the place made vacant by the
resignation Of Mr.. Powell. Colonel
Luke W. Finlay has been substituted.
He is distinguished lawyer Of Mem
phis, man Of worth and ability, de-
voted TO the Democratic and Conservs-
tive cause. In him the people Of Shelby
will find an honest, sensible and sturdy
representative. His thorough knOwl-
edge Of the wants Of the people,
their interests and necessities, ren-
deTs him peculiarly fitted for the
position to which he has been assigned
by the executive committee. Colonel
Finlay is gentleman Of the highest
private worth; his long and distinguish
ed experience st the bar, his well known
truth and reliability entitle him to pub
lie confidence, while his talent viii
command the attention OF the legisla- !
TUE. For him We invoke the cordial
and enthusiastic support Of the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives Of Shelby |
county. Now that our ticket is COM
plese, lstus all go TO work with a de-
termination to elect it. Let harmony
he restored. The issues are known, and |
let every man IN Shelby county, /
who chsrishes home aud his
family, who respects himself, and feels
that the interest Of the community in
this important crisis is his own, remem-
Der the duty be owes to all these in the
present contest, and rally to the support
of our ticket-Porter, Young and the /
candidates for the legislature. Let the
tocsin be sounded for the redemption Of
this district, and the election Of the
nominees for the Legislature. Colonel /
Finlay is man worthy to be placed by
the side Of those who are already in the
field, and TO elect this ticket is the i'm
Portsnt duty in hand.

Columbus Alexander, was argued yesterday in the
United states Circuit Court before Judge Batch
ford The defendant was arrested in this city,
ana, alter q heightened examination be-
fore Commissioner Osborn, was held to
await an order OF the Court for his
extradition to Washington, to there answer
the charge against HIM. Yesterday counsel for
Kunz, Mr.. A. Oakley Hall, was heard at some length
in an argument to show that the offence
charged against Kunz was not an offence
against the United states law nor even
in the District OF Columbia. He submitted some
points to MAINTAIN his position, one being that
the spirit as well as the letter Of the act Of
1889 showed that there must be an offence which
was generic to the United States, known to the
law Of Nebraska, Maine and all the other States,

acter Of man was not an offence against the
laws OF the United states and = was not an
