j. W. Anderson is a very good man, Of
ordinary intelligence and personal hon.
esty, whose advent into the political
world is a kind of experiment, which
derives its principal charm from the
novel desire Of distinction and preemi.
hence. He will make a good race, and
be defeated in a quiet way.
Charles Kortrecht is a leading Radical,
a lawyer by profession and ex. member
of the Memphis board of education, hav.
ing been a true and tried friend Of that
darling philosopher. Aaron Picket. Mr..
Kortrecht has always been an extreme
Radical, and during the last Presidential
election made speeches in favor of the
Radical party.
DANES o. Pierce is one Of the men
who imported Aaron Picket to Memphis
and inflicted this adventurer upon the
taxpayers of the community as the most
intelligent and efficient school superin-
tendent in the United States. Pierce is
one Of the sly Radicals who has sojourned
in Memphis since the war. He is con.
sCientiously-if he has such a thing
opposed to anything Southern or Demo.
cratic, He was once a member Of the
school board, and is by far one of the
most perfect specimens Of political big
otry that has drifted from the North
since the war.
P. I. Scruggsis an old man, very old
to be inundated upon the shrine Of pc.
litical s%yeophancy. 1t will be remem.
bered that Mr., Scruggs once upon a
time opposed a negro named Hayden,
who was the first of his race ever elected
to Office in Shelby county. During his
violent opposition Mr.. Scruggs de.
nouuced the negrsss as monkeys, mere
brutes, etc a fact which Ed Shaw re.
calls and complained about yesterday,
I. D. Eldridge is one OF the worst
Radicals in the cora %munity-we believe
one Of the Hayes electors in 1876. Al
that time Eldridge said he loved tht
negroes as well as he did himself, anc
would as 500 vote for a negro as for
white man, a spirit which the Avalanche
is trying to make people believe it feels
This is one Of the strong reasons WIZ
Pat Kellaher and the " other influential
Irishmen command the Irish to vott
the whole ticket.
Joseph Uhl was defeated by the Demo
cratic convention four years ago, ant
since then he has been in a mad humor
0nly three weeks ago Mr.. Uhl was aux
ious to secure the aid Of the German
citizens to secure him the nomination
for county register over Charles Beehn
Mr.. Uhl failed, aRd like 3 disappointed
ofice.seeker, is o with the clap tral
r%eiormers.
General A. J. Vaughan was one Of th,
bravest commanders in the Confederst
army, He found that he could not &c
the nomination for Criminal Court clerI
by the Democratic Convention, with
drew aud tuck up with the mongre
political managers. General Vaughan
took part aud voted in the Democratic
primary election. But he prefers tn
, political association of Pierce, Eldridse
Hunt and that liz to those friends VIII
have ever respected him. Lst him &C
for his defeat is as sure as the sun sets
Owen Dryer is a respected Irishmar
/; of mediocre education and good bushes
sense. He will doubtless secure a larg
majority of, if not the entire Irish vote
but this will not elect him. Mr.. Dwye
I, will live to see how foolish aud how uu
J just it is for him to be used as a cat
! paw by the same tricksters who fou
years ago opposed James Reilly an
supported an Independent candidate 70
. County Court Clerk.
T, B Crenshaw, soninlaw of Corone
f Caldwell, is from the country, and
gentleman Of good character.
Colonel George B. Fleece is q disay
pointed ofice-holder, a granger and
lecturer, who delights in pulling hi
j mind with the theories of such men a
HUXLEY and Herbert Spencer. Colout
. Fleece was onee a Democrat, but, bein
/ defeated by the Democratic county cor
vention, has been at outs with the part
e ever since. He is a much younger, an
perhaps a more erudite scholar than
j. Rawlings, but he is not more homes
1 aud not one.half so popular as this trie
and faithful servant.
! W., ]. Duval is said to be a Criminr
: Court lawyer, and occasionally takes
hand in prosecuting or defending pc
sons before magistrates. We belieV
that Mr.. Daval lives in Memphis SOM
