A little deaf and dumb boy named

Encouragement will give the Offices to
rich men and keep the poor men
out of Office We are all aware
that the general welfare of the city
has often been made subservient to
the ofice-holding profession, but we
hardly think that a man in Memphis
will have the audacity 20 object to a
measure to promote the public good
on the ground that it will deprive a
few men, rich or poor, Of petty Offices
When it comes to putting half
dozen professional ofice-hOlders or
jurymen in the scale against the inter
ests and rights of fifty thousand peo-
pie, we do not consider that there is
but one side to the question. How
ever, we hope and believe that no false
issues will be raised tonight, but that
all sides and shades Of opinion will be
fairly and intelligently represented.
This is too serious a matter to be
thwarted by the shallow tricks Of poll
ticians or selfish individuals. The
greatest good to the greatest number
must be first considered. The people
feel that something must be done.
