CANVASS.

4 district convention will be held IN
this city on The seventh OF September 10
nominate q Democratic candidate Iof
congress. Is it not about time that the
sxeoutive committee was moving In
tbi. matter, naming 9 time for electlng
or appointing delegates? At the same
time that delegates are elected 10 lhe
congressional convention, would 1t not
be expsdient 10 elect delegates to the
Democratic convention called to nom
inate candidates for the legislature?
This last ticket should be placed
ia the field, simultaneously WIN
q candidate for congress, so that there
can be cooperation in organization ano
a list OF appointments. There VIII oe
INIT little discussion a. TO candidates lof
Venti0n has been called. II the Democ-
rsev OF Shelby county would succeed IN
electipg their ticket 10 the legislature
they must force into the field the aoltst
men in The party. Grave du-
ties will deyolve upon the next
Tennessee legislature. Two United
States senators are to be elected, and
We want men who are able TO grsppe
with the great question Of our state
6nancss-a question which should be
permanently takel cut OF the politics OF
the State. Alabama and Virginia
called a conference with their creditors
and made a final and satisfactory settle
ment, and Tennessee should do the same
thing. To aid in this important matter,
Shelly county should send men to the
Legislature OF known integrity and busl-
ness capacity. There will be no un-
seemly squsbble in the district conven-
ton as to a candidate for congress.
Casey Young will have no opposition
He has viudicated the confidence re-
posed in him by his friends, and ls
stronger than he was two years ago IL
the D smocrauc party, which gave him
a nomination aud triumphantiy elects
him. He is bcta faithful and capable
having risen to a position in congress
that very few members ever attain dur
ing their first term, Casey Young rank
among the very ablest Of the young meE
! ia the house Of representatives, and Il
an honor TO his district and to the State
AS We havs before said, a convention IL
| this district is the work Of supereroga
tor, only so FAR as TO observe part!
usages and to contribute to party organ
ization. The Democratic party, from
Maine TO Texas, is organizing for Wig
orous campaign, and this congressiona
district must do its duty In the trium
plant march to victory. We bslieV
that the triumpds two years ago, mag
nificent and important as they were
were but the rising OF the wind which
to usher in the huTc cane in Novembe
next. The Democracy Of Shelby count
on the third Of August led the way
pointed the road TO SUCCESS, al
gave to our WaveTing and fsini
hearted friends that prestige whic
not Only predicts but secures vie
tory. The significance Of the Augu:
election in Shelby county is that it is
forerunner OF one OF far larger scop
in November. Ii is the Gfavelotte tbs
precedes the Sedan. The DemocEa'
have two incentives TO labor in this cal
vass. One is the almost certainty
Tnden's election, and the other is thf
with it We may once more hope for IT
vival CT the good old halcyon tins
when the people Of this Union were a
indeed brethren, when the shadow I
the soldier and OF martial law shall dl
appear beneath The recOllections OF
sorrowful past. Once more let us hoI
that when We have full Democratic SUI
cess the wheels Of industry, which hay
; been so clogged, will be set in motion
: I when capital will no longer be idle an
the IabUreI unemployed, ard when wit
gladness we may hold the Centenni
OF cur independence as q jubilee even b
yond that which it commentaries.
