General Marcus j. Wright, editor of
the Memphis Register, for that posi-
ton. The Appeal accompanies the
communication with highly compli-
mentary remarks, and speaks of Gen
eraiw Wright In the most fiattering
terms.-KnorUi9le Press and Herald.
The Winchester Home Journalsays
that if West Tennessee gets the nomi-
nation for governor, it hopes "the man
will be General Marcus j. Wright. 1
He is competent in all respects, a
fearless writer, fluent talker, thorough
ly posted in politics, high-toned, hon
orable, noble; in fact, a. man who
would make honorable character in
State matters as he did in matters Of
war. West Tennessee has no better
man. Ripley Netes. /
A prominent East Tennesseean,
writing to the Memphis Appeal, says
that General Marcus j. Wright is the
man to serve the next term in the
governor Office. We heartily indorse
the suggestion, for General Wright is
a man OF high attachments, of sound
Judgment and strict integrity, and we
think if West Tennessee will unite on
him, Middle Tennessee will join hands
with her and give him a hearty sup
port.-Ldioreece Journal
A very complimentary call is made
upon General Marcus j. Wright to
run for governor, which will attract
general attention. He is we'll known
In almost every county in the State,
and has immense personal popularity,
based upon true merit, at home and
abroad. While we have no idea that
he has at present any political aspira
tons, We are gratified to see his name
so favorably mentioned. The Appeal
gives him handsome and well de-
served notice.-Neats State Gazette.
1t being pretty generally conceded
that, other things equal, the next can
didate for governor should come from
West Tennessee, the name of Marcus
j. Wright, of Shelby, one of the best
and truest men in the State, has been
suggested. He has received letters,
while others have been published
from many prominent East Tennessee
Conservatives, calling on him to an
nounce himself. He would be very
acceptable to West Tennessee. for we
have no better understandable Bee.
The Memphis Appeal, edited by that
prince of gentlemen, M. G. Galloway,
publishes communication which re-
commends General Nj. j. Wright, of
Memphis, as candidate for governor.
The Appeal pays him high compli-
ment. To all of which we say amen.
But our first choice is for Albert S.
Marks. If, however, Judge Marks
should not be nominated, we are heart
and soul for General Marcus j
Wright. We are not mealy-mouthed
as to our views, Colonel Galloway
