HO! FOR BARTLETT.

ing. ~ inc IAPoSi'ion Huiio'
The primary election for delegates to
the anti'Radical convention held through
out the city and county yesterday created
no little excitement in political circles.
During the afternoon and up to eight
o'clock last evening, when the polls
closed, crowds of voters congrerated
around each precinct and electioneered
strongly for their friends. Would.be
delegates, armed with bundles of tickets,
eellared and button-holed every voter
and implore6 him not to forget the inn
plorer when he scratched his ticket with
lead pencil. The utmost interest was
felt in the election by the friends Of the
Bartlett movement who desire to place
Memphis and Shelby county far out of
reach of the negroized Radical party,
which, like the ill.omened bird of night,
sits and croaks upon the battlements
presaging evil and misfortune. The
white people of Memphis and Shelby
county are determined to give this ultra
and vile party the coup de grace in
August and November next. The off
cial list of delegates selected by the
white people yesterday is as follows:
