The Battle over.

EDITORS APPEAL - Msyhap you
would not object to hearing from the
country. Crops are short-very short; times
gent. Nothing exciting or interesting since
the Bolivar convention Is over. The smoke o,
battle is passing of, and we are delighted
with the nomination OF II. Casey Young, and
il Is more than satisfactory to the people in
this portion Of the district. There was much
fine material there, and the friends Of each
hspirant ezhi bited much Interest and feeling,
but the action OF the body throughout was
Characterised by a spirit of liberality and
generosity, and peace and harmony prevailed.
The great object with the convention In this
crisis, 70 get the best and ablest man.
This people think they have the man such as
this crisis demands; man OF Intelligence,
culture and refinement, in the full vigor OF his
mental and physical strength, bold and fear
less. of the purest integrity, softened and
chastened by ripe experience, cool, calm and
cautious. With such a nominee victory is
sure, and the ides Of November viii show the
fruits Of a wise selection, and will prove that
this portion Of the district viii roll up such q
vote Tor II. 9. Young as will be truly gratify-
Ing to him and those who in this convention
supported and sustained him. Give us the
same kind OF material in the nominations yet
10 be made in this end OF the State and we
need fesr nothing. Triumphantly we will
scatter the hosts Of Radicalism throughout
| the entire length and breadth OF the
state, Stabsl,, and once again place into
4 Of .Ihis State-this glorious old Tennessee
who can truly bOst OF having furnished 10
! TINS government more talent and ability than

The ProxY Rusiness.

EDITORS APPEAL-Everyb will
agree that the manner in which "prOxies' are
manipulated in conven lions by aspiTants foI
nomi nations, is an outrage, and should be
prevented. The writer's attention was drawn
most forcibly 10 this imposition by hearing a
candidate, before one of the recent conven'
tions, boast that he had in his pocket a num-
Der of proxies" which he would control in
his own int rests. l wish 70 suggest the iol-
lowing az the best plan, 10 my understandable z
by which proxies may be used so that The
wishes OF the people may not be per
verted: In the flrst place, elect no man 3
delegate 10 nominating convention unless
he will consent 10 attend in person. II, alter.
ward, he finds he cannot go, let him deposit
his proxy in the hands OF the chairman OF the
delegation TO which he belongs, TO be disposed
Of by ballot in that delegatlon-tf more than
one proxy, the highest vote controlling one
the next highest another, the next, another
and so on until all are disposed OF, so that each
element, IL the delegation be divided, may
have the benefit of what otherwise may be
bought up and controlled by, as is often the
case, the weakest man before the convention
l think that It would be well to take some &C
tion in this matter before the meeting of oul
county convention for the nomination OF can
didates for representatives. If any one Of tht
readers Of the APPEAL can suggest bette
plan, he should do so, which should bS
adopted, and allow no more such outrages L
be Perpetrated upon the people. DETECTIVE

EDITORS APPEAL-In times Of great
est public necessity it is mRnifeEtly the duty
OF our people to call upon the very ablest and
strongest OF her citizens and every public ser
want should be selected solely for his ability
and fitness for the Office. Now, in view of the
many radical changes to be made in our laws
TO meet reforms de- manded by absolute neces-
sity and to tighten the burdens OF the excess
i've taxations under which the people of Ten
nesSee now labor under State, county and city
legislation, let the delegates who meet in con-
ventiOn on Tuesday next select men Of the
highest personal wO. tn and ofthe best ability.
II it is deemed well 10 give each avOcatlOn or
industrial pursuit a representative let the
convention give the law man of the sterling
worth and ability Of Judge Ii. I. Ellet, and let
the commercial communi Y have the benefit
of the splendid and far-seeing financial abilt-
" OF mercna-t like Z. NJ. Apperson. The
talents and abilities OF such men are more
needed to-day IN the legislature OF the State,
and il they should be nominated Shelby
county and the city OF Memphis will find that
they, assisted by those selected rom the
names Of candidates already announced, will
lift the crushing burdens from the shoulders
OF our people, and new era OF peace and
prosperity will dawn upon u.s. Let the dele
gates consider these suggestions; let them

THE CHEAP TRANSPOREATIO
CONVENTION

| This body has been in session in
Richmond for the past two days. The
object of the Convention is to devise
some means for cheapening the cost
of the transportation of articles be-
tween various States and sections, but
| exactly how this change is to be
| brought about is the problem, as the
prices of all wares and merchandise,
and farm products and, IN fact, every
thing, is regulated according to the
demand and supply. This being the
case, says the Richmond Enquirer, it
only remains to increase the facilities
to bring down the cost, and this Is
what the Congress proposes. But
how, in view of the fact that it is to
the interest of those at present con-
trolling all the means Of transporta-
ton in the country that the prices
should not only rule at their present
rates, but still higher, is this to be
done, since most Of the capital avail
able for such purposes has already
been invested in these complet-
ed roads, and Ell are intereste d
in obtaining the best return
for their investments possible :?
Those now having monopoly of the
carrying trade will not relinquish
their hold upon it, or aid in enterprises
having for their purpose reduction of
their tolls and decrease Of their
profits. All the active capital Of the
Country that could be spared from
com MERGE and our other industries
has been invested in those railroads
that do the bulk of the business be-
tween the East and the West-and not
only our home capital, but millions
from abroad, which is only interested
10 the largest dividends it can obtain.
AL these interests will, of course, not
only refuse to invest in more railroads
that may come into competition with
those already run by them, but they
will endeaVor to prevent their being
constructed by others. This leaves the
question entirely with the people, and
it is the people WHO are represented by
this Convention. Having no other
means Of accomplishing their object,
it is but naturalthe people should look
to their reserved capital, and tina: re-
served capital is the treasure and
credit OF the government. This re-
serve they demand shall be used by
the government to cztricate them from
the difficulties Of their situation.
And this is the view the people aIe
beginning to take of The mater.
Taev have found that the government
has already permitted The use OF its
name il the construction Of one great
liuo Of railroad with ti1e most benof-
cial results, and they will net be made
to see that it may not sill further OK
tend its assistance in giving aid to
other enterprises in which the good OF
the country and the welfare Of the
people are much more deeply in
volved.

pa;en. il large majority will no doubt

meet and do the work assigned them,
which may be submitted to the people
for rattle alton or rejection. And it
! matters not which they do, it is bound
to have good effect in favor of the
Conservative cause.
If the move is one of such bad poll
cY, why postpone it two years only !?
Ii it is likely TO prove damaging at all,
