JUDGE BARBOUR LEWIS.
The Judge walked to the, font Of the
plstforn, and was greeted % the crowd.

condemned Tilden and Hendricks, 81
though he regarded Mr. Tilden 90 great
and able pan; The democracy had a
ratification on the bluff on last Saturday
night, he condemned Chancellor Nor
csn,s speech made on that occasion as
being IN bad taste and bad temper, IN

man of high social and religious stand.
ing. The Republican party fsvors 1asu'
| ing bonds to the Southern Pacific rail-
road, which would pass through Mem
phis and enhance in value double OF
! tnreefold the property OF every man IL
Memphis, yet the Democratic congres;
refused to grant anything to the Pacific
railroad project. Judge Lewis discussed
| the prospects OF the respective candi'
dates, and announced that EaJes am
Wheeler would be elected by large
majority. Two years ago the Republi
can party carried Shelby county, outside
Of tie city, by twenty-five hundred ma
iolity, but they were counted out in the
city. The Republican party can car
ry Shelby county to-day by
large majority in fair election
To-day Friday theicOunty court refused
to give the Republicans few judges o
| election, when it was asked for by Judgt
Henry G. Smith, but Governor Harris
sprung up and opposed it, saying 1t wa
unconstitutional The county court dit
not want to give US fair election, a II
the judges appointed are men OF th
most untra Democratic type. They hay
control of the ballot-bOx, and Repub
lican majority can b5 made to appea
like a majority in favor of Democracy
II we work hard, and if there ia an hon
est vote, the Republicans will carr
Tennessee this fall. Let US do our duty
a I'D vote for our candidates, and we wi
succeed.
