following were the entries in the order in which
they drew their positions:

FROM A $4,000 TAXPAYER,
What He Has to Say About the Mu-
nlclpal Contest.

In admitting the following communi-
cation, out Of respect to its author, we
must not be understood as taking sides
fer or against any of the excellent gem
tlemen named in connection With the
mayoralty. The people have this matter
in their own hands, and must think and
act for themselves. We shall abide by
their decision cheerfully:
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
l see a card 10 your paper Of the 9Th
from Ex.Mayor johnson announcing
himself as a candidate for mayor at the
ensuing election in January. This |
am glad to see, as Mr.. Johnson's fine
executive ability and his thorough
knowledge Of every branch of our city
government is recognized by all; and Il
is generally conceded that Mr.. johnson,
while occupying that position for four
years, made one of the best, if not the
very best, mayor Memphis ever bad
Mr.. johnson cid more permanent in
provements, paid police. 6renien, labor
ers, and creditors generally more prompt.
ly than any other msn occupying, or that
perhaps ever will occupy, that position
Mr.. johnson thoroughly mastered every
detail of his Office, and no man, woman,
or child eVer called or him, during his
two terms, inquiring about city affairs
but received prompt and direct answers
(uo red tspe). Each officer under him
was held directly responsible for his off.
cial acts and required to do his whole
duty.
Our people we are sure-the poor ones
at lesst-hsve not forgotten how Mr.
Johnson stood at bis post during the ter
rible scourge OF yellow fever in Septem.
Der and October, 1873 - not for the rich,
for they were aad are able to take care
of themselves, as they generally did BY
packing up bag and baggage, and leav
ing, as they thought, the doomed city
but for the poor, VINO were unable to leave
or take care of themselves, going night
