citizens ere already spoken of In connee'
ton with S.ste, senatorial and repre-
sentative offices. Among those spoken
of or the streets are John Overton, M.
D. L. Stewart, John Donovan, John L.
Moss, J ohm A Roush, Captain Peterf,
Luke w. Finley, and Hugh L. Greer"
These are good men, tried and true. we
recognize in the list man who mas
given twenty years Of his life to The
Democratic party. In every canvass ne
has promptly given his money and his
councils to his party, and at whose
nomination we would rejoice; but there
are others who have the ability
aud the high integrity OF character to
give us influence In the next legisla-
ture of Tennessee. A complete, final
settlement with the creditors OF the
5tste-s settlement like that in Alsbs-
ma and Virginia, which has taken the
question OF tsxstion and State indebted
ness out Of the politics Of those States
Il what will be required
Of the next Legislature. In Sc
lecting candidates the pub
lie is not restricted to the list Of aspir- |
ants, as it frequently happens that the
most deserving, most worthy and best
qualified are found among the retiring
who will not urge their own claims.
Tnese are the very men needed in the
naxt Tennessee legislature, and in NOM
mating and eIectipg them, we honor our
selves. There is Bronson Bsyliss, noble
soecimen of TennesseaD; loyal and ever
true 20 her isterests, his generous heart
il ever beating in sympathy with her,
especially when calamity pressed sore
upon his people. What safer or wiser
man can be sent to Nashville than Bron-
son BsyIiss? The next Legislature de-
mapds the services Of William B. CAL
, breath, k0own of all men as able, up
right, honest, and business man capa-
bic Of graphing with the question OF
the State indebtness, and whose known
honesty as legislator would preserve
the integrity Of the State and tighten
the pressure upon a tsx-Tidden people.
Call Mr.. Gslbreath to the front
Nspolaon Hill holds a commanding po-
sition as a successful business msn in
Memphis. He is personally popular,
has an exalted idea Of duty as citizen,
and the Democratic party Of Shelby
county would be wise ia making him
candidate for the legislature, where bis
services would be invaluable to his
party and TO the community in which
he is go highly esteemed. The crisis in
our pecuniary troubles should force into
the next Legislature James c. Medley,
on account Of his personal worth and
high, exalted character. he has ca
pacity for great usefulness to the State
| in her troubles, and he should be forced
into the public service. And s. 2.

er5 bank-what Of him? Shelby county
ia familiar with his infexible honesty
and great business capacity and his
| ability in financial matters, and just
such men are needed in settling the
financial troubles OF Tennessee. He
has no aspirations, but should be forced
into the public service, and no
man has a right to shilk his
duties as a cit izen when his services are
required for the public good. JAMES
Elder is needed in the next Legislature.
His honesty and capacity are historic in
West Tennessee, and his unsullied name
and head grown gray In dasds OF useful
ness would give him an influence in the
legislature # which the people of Shell
by would be proud and the State derive
great prl fl. B. Lowensteip, in his sue
cess in Memphis has developed those
business traits of character which sre
demanded of legislator. He is loyal
and true to Memphis, his heart is ever
beating in sympathy with her interests,
and ifelected to the lie legislature, the sam G
lpacity which has made him success
full as one Of the finest merchants in the
south would enable him to render in
valuable service in sdjusting the inan.
cial troubles OF our State. A conven.
ton, in nominating candidates fol
the legislature, would be shame
fully deTeIict in its duty
to pass over such business man So w.
W. Guy, of the firm OF Guy, Mcclellan
& Co. He is of that class of men who
would draw support from outside of his
party. OF his high abilities, stainless
character, and exalted reputation
throughout the country where he is
known, there is no need to speak. The
nomination OF Nat Menken would give
strength to the Democratic ticket, and
he would make a popular representative
The people of Arkansas, Mississippi
Tennessee, and especially OF Shelby
county, are familiar with his honesty al
q merchant, his usefulness as a citizen
his capac city for dealing with the import
ant issues likely to come before the leg
islsture Of Tennessee, and his nomination
by the Democratic convention woulC
givestrength to the ticket. Amos Wood
Iuff commands as much Of the con
fidencs of the people as any
man in Shelby county, and can b
nominated and elected to any position
within the gift of the people. But, alas
for the community, he seems reiuctan
to give his tims and great abilities to the
public service. Isaac Friedman wOulC
be an invalusbIs member Of the legisls

! a member of the legislature he woulC
address himself with an esrlestness and
I care which would make him invalusbl,
as a servant Of the people anxious t.
settle forever the financial troubles o
the State. Among the legal profession
there is Judge w. T. Brown, who il
known throughout the State as an ors to

I Ian, with his wonderful gifts and bril-
liant attainments, and there is T. NJ. s

These are the kind OF men needed il
the next Legislature, and they mus b'
pressed into the public services. With
