q. w. GORDON.

This gentleman is the Democratic
nominee for encouragement of the
bartlett UUurt. 1t rarely happens that
the voters Of Shelby county have an op-
portunity Of rewsrding so faithful an
officer with reelection. General Cor
don is q young man Of ability and in
tegrity, to whom the interests Of Shelby
county can be safely intrusted. As at
torney-general for the Bartlett court, he
has been efficient, He deserves the
united party vote, and much more. He
has earned the approval Of the people Of
Shelby by his stesdfast devotion to his
party and the duties of his Office. His
election to-day would continue the SER
vices Of faithful and experienced pub
lie servant,

THE ELECTION.

The APPEAL Is partisan Democratic
paper, pledged to the support Of the par
| ty organization and the party nominees,
and it would be recreant to its duty il it
did not impress upon the Democrats, re-
gardless Of personal considerations, the
duty Of turning out to-day and casting a
solid vote for the Democratic county tick
ct, and for the nominees for magistrate.
Let every Democrat to-day enter the
fight with q bold and undsunted front,
resolved to stand by the nominees, let
the result be what it may. The milk
snd-water Democrat who betrays his
party in the hour of trouble, will be re-
membered when he comes for fsvors
from the Democracy he has deserted.
The Radicals are lsboriDg to get posses
sion Of the county court, by electing a
msj ority Of Radical magistrates. To
suffer the county court to pass into their
hands would be calamity which every
honest Democrat should feel cOnscien-
tiously impelled to avert by every means
in his power. They have seen the re-
suit Of handing over Shelby county to
the rule Of Ed Shaw and Barbour
Lewis. They are not asked to
subject themselves to q new and untried
experiment, for the peop'e OF Shelby
county know to their sorrow what Rad
ical rule means when it has msjOrity in
the county court. 1t would require
years to destroy the power, to repair the
injury, which seeks to obtain popular
suffrage to-day by getting possession Of
the county court. The wisest and safest
course is to destroy it at once, and this
can be done by every Democrat and de-
cent citizen going to the polls this morn
ing and voting for every DemocIa ic
nominee, and for magistrates, Demo-
crat over Radical, where no nomina-
lions have been made. II the people of
Shelby allow the Radicals to gain the
control of their county court, they can
expect no other consequences than a
constant and rapid depreciation of their
property, the subversion of Justice, and
the beginning of another era Of fright
full corruption. Such is the simple issue
bsfore the people. We leave it in their
hands without shadow of misgiving.
Let the Democrats of Shelby county,
then, close up their ranks, and show by
their votes to-day that they are true to
the interests of the people, faithful to
their party, and will not bstray the hope
that looks with reliance upon their pa
triotism and fidelity.

j, j. RAWLINGS,

Let every Democrat see to it to-day
that the name Of this honored old citi-
zen and faithful public servant, be
placed on the regular ticket. AS citi-
zen he is above approach, as Demo-
crst he is true to his party. AS an Of
fetal, intrusted with large sums Of
money, his accounts are perfectly cor.
rect. Honest to fault, careful in all
his transactions, courteous and obliging
to all with whom he has business in
tercourse, he has fairly earned the repu-
tstion Of being one Of the most efficient
and trusty public servants ever elected to
office in this or any other State. RawI-
ings should receive every vote polled in
Shelby county to-day, regardless of
party predjudices, as a tribute to his in
tegrity, and SIS an incentive to Office
holders to discharge their duties.

Tennessee. The object Of the enemi6s
Of Democracy is to induce our conven-
ton to adopt twenty-cent platform In
order that the Democratic party msy be
defeated in the national contest. This
reputation movement in Tennessee was
originated, and is yet advocated by those
who wish to destroy the Democratic
party, and they have seized upon this
as the most effective means Of accom-
plishing it. ''Divide and conquer" is
their motto. We have no fear ss to the
action OF the Democratic convention
which is to meet on the ninth Of August.
They will take high ground In favor Of
the payment Of the debt, or Of making
such a settlement as will be honorable
and satisfactory to all parties. Tennes-
see Democrats are not and never UiU be
regulators.

THOMAS H.LOGWOOn.

The Democratic nominees have passed
through this canvass without a stain
upon their characters. Every candidate
on our ticket has been subjected to
searching criticism, and nothing has
been found against one of them. Party
mslignity has not been able to trump up
8 single charge, and we should be faith
less to our duty if we did not strongly
recommend the people to vote for them
all. The Democratic ticket is go unob-
jectionable in its personnel, so strong
before the people, that the Radicals and
Independents, after much csucusing and
secret wire-pulling, abandoned all hope
Of defeating / by putting regular tick.
ct In the field, but united In opposing
the election Of Thomas 81. Logwood as
the Democratic nominee for judge Of the
criminal court, His private character
cannot be blsckened by Islander, but
they are warning upon him because
he has been faithful, working, re-
liable Democrat! The Democracy that
nominated Colonel Logwood over
such popular and able men as opposed
him, do not consider this q crime, and
will protect Colonel Logwood st the
polls to-day. Ho should be, and no
doubt will be, elected by the people of
Shelby to-day, but as the fight will be
made against him the fight should be
made for him. He is lawyer of long
and reputable standing at the Mem.
phis bar, and will make an able
and efficient judge Of the criminal
court. Among the prominent and
influential Democrats who have CON.
tnouted to the success Of the Demo. |
cratic nominees in this county, none
ever fought a better fight or struck
more telling blows than Colonel Log
wood. Always early in every canvass,
ana at the sacrifice Of his own personal
interests, he has placed himself at the
~ OF bis party and lsbored with all
tne characteristic earnestness of his ps-
1ure. The defeat of such man is i'm.
possible Let every Democrat work e.
pecially for Colonel LoRwood.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

WE find in the Columbia Herald and
Mail, an admirable letter from Major
Campbell Brown, who is candidate fol
foster from Maury, Williamson and
Lewis counties. Major Brown is one OF
heablest young men Of the State, man
of Fl ne native intellect, highly improved
by cultivation, although only little over
thirty years Of age. He is one Of the
most successful farmers and most dis.
tinguished stock-raisers in Tennessee.
Well may such man as he ia be In f.
vor Of preserving national and State
credit, and prize highly the honor Of the
State of his nativity. He is one of the
largest Taxpayers in Maury, which is
among the richest counties IN Tennes-
see, and his interests are thoroughly
identified with The agricultula OF the
State, among whom he is very promi-
nent. He has not, we learn, an
enemy in the floating district in
which he lives, aud Is remarkable
for his kindness to the poor aDd needy,
and in all things the friend Of the labor
ing man. We are glad to see such 8
man, at such time, vindicsting the
honor Of his State, and unfolding the
integrity OF the Democratic party. He
inherits sll the virtues of his ancestors,
and is noble scion of a noble race.
There ia nothing Of the small dema-
gogue or OF the tricky politician In
Campbell Brown. We need such men
as he is in our State councils, and well
may his brother farmers be proud of
him. In his letter, he says:
1 believe this can be done by rigid
economy and reform in every department
of State, county and municipal affairs,
without raising the present rate Of taxa
ton, and am opposed to laying higher
tax until every other means of meeting
our obligations has been tried and eX-
hausted.
He stands upon the platform adopted
at Nashville in 1874, and pledges him.
self to stand upon the platform that may
be adopted by the convention at Nash
Vile next week. He further says: 81
may add that I have not used Tennes-
see bond for eight years; never owned
but one in my life; and have no interest
in any" We are satisfied that the peo-
pie OF his district will indorse Campbell
Brown by an immense majority.

CHARLES ANDERSON

In view Of the populations, corrup-
tions, defalcstions and inefficiency Of
ofice-holders, the people should cling to
a public servant when he demonstrates
his honesty and efficiency. This G. L.
Anderson, the Democratic nominee for
sheriff, has satisfactorily done. He went
into office two years ago with a splendid
reputation as first-clsss business man,
and his career as sheriff has added to
his fame. Taking into consideration all
his qualifications, the satisfaction he
has given, the people should unite in
continuing him in the office he has 30
satisfactorily filled, irrespective ofparty.
Democrats, fail not to see that the name
of c. L. Anderson is on your ticket to-

ONLY THIEVES COMPLIMENTED

When Belknsp, with tears in his
eyes, confessed to Grant that he had
been engaged in a series Of disreputable
transactions, and had disgraced the
high Office of which he was the incum-
bent, the President, instead OF denounc,
ing him for the act and refusing to re-
ceive his resignation, sympathized with
him, accepted his resignation, and wrote
in reply note expressive OF his deep
regret" at Belknap's withdrawal.
When Columbus Delsno was driven
from the cabinet by the voice Of an out
ragged and indignant people, the tears
trickled down Grants cheeks, and his
broken heart sobbed out its ''regrets."
Whenever a knave was driven into re-
TRACY Grant was ready with his sympa-
thy and regrets" But it seems, from
the testimony of Bluford Wilson, before
one Of the investigating committees,
that when he, an honest man, against
whom no charge Of dishonesty had been
made, told Grant he would resign, the
President coolly replied, every well.n
When the honesty and incor-
ruptibiIity of Henderson, and Dyer, and
Yaryau were discovered by tue PresI-
dent, he expressed his ''regrets" that
his administration was encountered by
such unnatural material, and they were
unceremoniously removed. When Bris-
tow, with true Kentucky manIiness, re-
fused to remain where it was apparent
he would be compelled to sacrifice his
honor, there were no expressions of Ie-
greet from the President. On the C on
trary, he appeared to be delighted to
think that he had so easily got rid of
one Of the principal obstacles In his
pathway. When Jewell's resignation
was forced from him, 1t was hardly to
be expected that the curt note addressed
to the postmaster general would elicit
regretful reply. 1t did not. "Git
eout' was the pervading sentiment of
Csessr's heart at that moment. There
was no room in it either for regrets or
compliments. The ministers he had
forced from his cabinet had been eye
sores to him. They were not men after
his own heart. They had stood in his
way. Their presence was a constant
rebuke to him. He sent them away,
and now that Commissioner Pratt Is
shortly to follow, it is fair to presume
that he, too, will be permitted to leave
without a character" from his EMPLOYER.

"BE wATCHFUL, AND BEwAREr

"BE WATCHFUL, AND BEWARE,
Sometime since we gave an article
from tha Republican paper at Nashville,
in reference to the State debt. In the
Knoxville Chronicle the same subject is
treated with equal frankness. From all
that we can learn, the =, Republicans
will, in their State convention,
take high ground in favor of paying the
State debt, both the principal and inter
est. The Chronicle says:
We have expressed our views on this
subject, and have no idea of retracting
anything we have said. We can sun.
port no man for any office who is direct
~ or indirectly in favor of reputation
in any shape. We believe such a course
dishonorable in the highest degree, and
that 1t would bring shame and disgrace
upon our native State, from which Ten
nessee could not possibly recover in the
next century. 1t wCulO be a foul stigma
that could never be effaced. 4 Door
mans capital is his character! 1.-The isa
man OF honesty and integrity, he ia
trusted and respected. II he refuses to
pay his just debts when he has the
ability to do so, he forfeits the re-
spect OF his neighbors and proves
himself unworthy of confidence. So of
a state, the principle is the same. A
state 1s an aggregation of individuals.
and the disgrace of one is the disgrace of
all. We are abundantly able to pav our
debts, If we will place our best men in
the several departments Of the State
government. If We adhere to the policy
prevalent In the past, OF sending igno-
rant N ID
Iature, and Of keeping inefficient men at
the head Of the executive denartment
we may expect mismanagement and
corruption, and, as q natural conse-
quence, failure and disgrace. II we will
go to WORK and show q determination tn
do all in our power to pay our debts. aOe
may make arrangements IN the future to |
Hghten our burdens, but if we set down |
Ike children and whine over the weight |
OF our task and talk about our heavy |
burdens without trying to accomplish |
anything, we may expect the legitimate /
fruits OF our unmanly course. Let us be
men, worthy Of the great common
wealth. and Of the enlightened age in
which we live, and time will bring US
all the relief needed.
IL the Democrats follow the advice of
some and submit to the dictation of such
q man as Dorsey B. Thomas, then the
Democratic party will be in danger, not
only at home but in the national con.
test. Ii the Tennessee Democracy should
