What the Country Wants.
EDITORS APPEAL-I am glad to see a
communication in the SUNDAY APPEAL
from "CivI District" respecting the
country peoples right to a share of
representation on the Bartlett ticket, and
/ hope that they will continue this de-
mand until 'the fair thing is done by
the city folks. I, for one, recognize and
concede this right. In this connection
l take the liberty Of presenting for the
consideration Of the convention, the
name Of one who, L am convinced from
careful inquiry, is the choice Of vast
majority Of the country people; one up.

ceutrated than any other man outside Of
Memphis, and whose qualifications, in
tegrity, and admirable fitness for the
Office to which he aapires is beyond ca
vii or questiOn-and that is c. l.. An
ders0n, of Germantown, for sheriff The
exciting convention two years ago is
yet well remembered, when Mr.. Ander-
sou received so large and fine a support, |
and divided the votes of the convention |
between himself aud the lamented
George L. Harris. This / regard as a
test OF the appreciation which the coun-
try and city people have for his worth,
and believe that the convention would
10 well, and satisfy ali classes by his
CITY.
The Sub-COmmiitee's Ticket.
EDITORS APPEAL desire to call the
attention Of voters TO a communication
which appeared in your paper Of June
18th. Colonel w. L. Duff used the fol-
lowing language in that issue:
lam Informed that the sub committees that
have been appointed by order Of the county
executive committee. under the Bartlett TesO-
lutiOnS, will submit and recommend a ticket {
In each ward and district In the county, for
The nominating convention, and that quite I
number, n not the m or part OF these tickets
which are 70 be recommended or dictated by Z
Eese most righteous judges, have been select
some of the wards having held meet ]
ncs for the purpose of recommending |
names to Oe voted for at the primary |
election, Colonel Duff7s information can
have no reference TO the sub-commit- 2
tees OF such wards. But how about the |
others? In some Of the wards every {
member Of the subcommittee is a can {
iidate for delegate. Whenever voter
desires to deposit his ballot, in the words ,
1f the call for the primary election, :
.'said committee are 10 be the sole judges Z
ss to whether said applicant is entitled {
10 vote.n This being the csse, some
parties % in the different wards have
placed the names of the subcommittee
On tickets and added their own, hoping
that the influence OF the committees
will secure the election Of the whole
ticket. / DO not pretend TO say that the
have " fixed" " these {
tickets; many Of them are too
honest for any such trick; but /
30 say that such combinations
should have 10 influence with the voters
1n the twenty fifth instant. Some OF ]
these gentlemen have always taken an
active interest in political affairs in their
wards, and it is right enough that they
should desire 10 attend the convention;
but this class OF working politicians have
not taken part in the scheme to elect q
subcommittee ticket; it, 1 be-
.ieve, has been started by few Of the
who take little interest
