This gentleman, one Of The most gifted
citizens of Shelby county is the candi-
date Of the Democratic party Of the 10th
Congressional District of Tennessee for
Congress. His nomination was made
unanimous, and we feel proud Of the act
when we place his name in the regular
democratic and conservative ticket at
the head Of this column There is no
man in the State for whom we would
more willingly work lie is good, able
and true man, eminently qualified to bear
the banner Of this people, and we pre-
dict for him the most brilliant and sue
ccssful canvass made in the South since
the war. Honest, capab c and pure, he
will reflect honor upon his constituents
and fill the measure Of faithful servant
10 the brim. The BULLETIN is for him
heart, soul and hard and We know that
our labors in his behalf viii be endorsed
by the county Of Hard eman, and that he
will give to him her undivided demo-
cratic and conservative strength. Let
the press Of the district do its full duty
and the counties of Shelby and Fayette
will rival Hardcman' $ deeds in this labor

FOR GuvERXoe,
Complete

The Democratic ticket is now complete,
and from this day until the last vote is
polled in November next every true
hearted, intelligent and patriotic citizen
should labor for it with all his might
The nominees are pledged to W hold
the platform adopted at Nashville, and
they will be true to the last. Let no
man backslide or stngger from the ranks
because Ills own personal preferences did
not win, but let the opponents of the
banelul Republican party speak and act
as one man and brilliant victory will
result. Tennesseans can now exhibit
their strength and vindicatc the eternal
principles Of Justice and truth.
Again we say to cur people that it
Is their bounden duty, and it certainly
should be there pleasure, to defeat every
radical or independent candidate who
seeks position at this time from Car
t,r to Shelby. 1t is 10 tine now to quib-
bic about this, that or the other Mons
inee or how he was nominated The
work has been done-done by the dele
gated agents Of tue people themselves in
every instance, and right or. wrong, it is
too late to retire from the political battle
which is now being fought Come out
then in your strength, eve y man Of you
who desires the defeat Of Barbour Lewis
AMI all other satellites Of the radical par
ty. DO not cease to work, and remcm
Der that right here in our own county
and in oGr own districts the strongest
and most unscrurulous leaders Of the
radical rty must be met. Fight mans
fully under the leaders we have chosen
and never fail to give them all your aid
and sympathy.

Some of the Milk IN the Cocoanut
Accounted For.

The following paragraph, written by
a gentleman high in authority at Wash,
ington will not do to pass over without
a second thought 1t strikes the bulls
eye every pop:
The question Of The fact that The Radical
politicians OF the Sonth, alarmed at the
result Of the elections recently held in
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
lucky, and fearful of losing the other
Southern States by the Civil Rights issue,
are generally cOnspiring to obtain Fed
erai interference, pressue and intimida =
sion. To this end the negroes are slim
ulated by them to insolence and OUT
breaks; and when conflicts with the
whites follow, as might be expected, let
ters Of an excited end sensational nature
are written by those creatures and their
agents to the DepaI tmcnt of Justice. Many
of these letters are how coming in
from all parts Of the South. The Attor-
ney~Gcneral accepts these exparte state
ments as strictly true, and declares the
whites to be aggTessors. Holding that
the negroes are acting on the de-
tensive merely; and assuming these 70
be facts In the case, be proceeds next, to
assign a motive for the alleged outrages
and conshiracies, namely disposition on
the part Of the whites to prevent the
negroes from voting the Republican tick
ct. So far as Judge Williams IS concern,
ed, there Is no doubt that he has made
up his mind against the Southern whites
III respect to these disturbances.

Bolton IS Trenton

Some two months ago at Bolton, Tex
as, nine or ten men, white men, were
shot to death by Iarty of citizens while
incarceraled in the county Jail at that
place Some Of tue unfo9tunates were
accused of murder, some of horse steal
ing and some were simply SUSPECT ned
of crime being set down as bad men.
The party which did the killing was said
TO consist of cxasperated citizens. The
news of this terrible slaughter was sent
over the country, but tho enormity OF
the crime never attracted the least at
tentIon. Now, when four negro men
are taken out of the Trenton Jail and
shot to death by unknown partics-cr-
asperated cjHzeHS-the whole county is
shocked and the press from Maine to
California teens with long~winded and
gaseous articles upon the dePravity of
men and the lawlessncss which pervades
the Southern people Here is the key
note The men killed in Jail at Bolton
were white men, and they were killed by
white men; No politics iH this The men
killed at Trenton were black men; plenty
ofpolitcS IN this
The Be,ton massacre was uncalled
for; so was the Trenton butchery; bus
it is not right to be bowling vengeance
in the one case while the other is allow
cd to slip quietly out Of sight and
