great danger that his piping notes
of discord will have much inhu-
ence against Memphis. The people
of Chicago know Memphis; they
cannot forget that at the time of
their great calamity, the fire, we
contributed literally of our means
for their relief; and when the epl-
demic of 1878 came they helped us
with generous hand, and we have

JOHN DoNOvAN's C0MPErITOR-HALF
NECK AHEAD.

Mr.. Duncan X. McRae has
been airing himself before Chi
cago meeting called to raise funds
for the SICK and dying people of
Memphis. McRae always thought
Memphis ought to make grand
man out Of him, which matter was
neglected so long that he became
disgusted and went to Chicago.
While Memphis bad forgotten Nc
Rae, it seems that he has not for
gotten the grudge he owes, and
this is the FIRST opportunity he has
had to display a vlndictive spirit.
His remarks were reported, and he
makes a correction, which appears
in the Appeal this morning, but the
correction does not conceal his ami
mus or make the matter much bet
ter. He still alleges that psnicky
and unnecessary appeals were made
by irresponsible persons in 1873
aud makes this unsupported allega-
ton a pretoxt for warning the peo-
pie Of Chicago against contributing
freely to our relief. The fact is
we'll known and has been published
dozen times in Memphis papers
that the Howards haG p surplus on
hand at the close Of the epidemic
in 1878. 1t came from all psEta Of
the country, Chicago included, and
could not be distributed, SO it was
invested safely and held for future
epidemics. The Hoyards are a re-
sponSible set of gentlemen, who
work without compensation, and
can be trusted. They daily face
death and danger more terrible
than any battle field. All funds
and contributions semitic them have
been and will be properly dis
triboted. Their books show eve.J
dollar received and paid out. II
Mr.. McRae) does not think 30 he
had better come down and see for
himself. The same may be said of
the citizens relief committee and
their affairs. The self-saCrifcing,
humane gentleman constituting
these, our two chief organizations,
who are combating the plague
now and who were here the most of
them, if not all, throughout the
epidemic of 1873, while Mr.. Nc
Rae was not, perhaps know as
much about what is needed, and
how disbursements should be made
as the gentleman who makes his
littisness SO eonspienoas at o safe
