Nominations.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 26.-Hon. Casey Young will
publish tomorrow, in the different papers of
his district, card to his constituents, an
nouncing himself a candidate for reelection, of
which the following is synopsis: For more
than two months past the public mind has
been Withdrawn from every other concern and
occupied alone in the effort to effect stay of
the rayages of the terrible pestilence which has
been preyirg upon our unfortunate people
with such fearful effect, and l have therefore
refrained from any effort to direct it to other
and less important objects, but now sensible
of the epidemic and hopeful pros ects of its
speedy disappearance, and the near
approach of the elections it seems to me
the improperly which would, perhaps,
have attached to an earlier public declaration
CT my candidacy for reelection to represent
this district In the lower branch of Congress-
1t Is now evident that neither one of the polit-
cal organizations can have a convention that
viii III any respectable manner represent the
popular will. Hence the usual party m ethods
OF selecting candidates for official positions
| must be abandoned for the more desirable
one of direct appeal to the Judgment of the
people at the ballot-bo1. During four wears
| have been your representative. believe
that my official conduct has met the approval
OF very large majority of the people without
regard to party, and it has, so far as | know
provoked no unfriendly criticism from any
quarter save an occasional complaint that it
mas been too temperate and conservative. 1t
is true that have been moderate in my polit-
| lcai views. corteous in their expression, and
tolerant toward those who have differed from
me in opinion, but I deny that this in any way
units me for the duties of a good representa-
| tive or the administration OF national affairs.
L maintain, on the contrary. that it
entitled me to more continued conf
dence, and the support OF thoughtful,
intelligent constituency. The dignifed
bearing, wise, conservative craftsmanship of
Lamar, Gordon, Nichols. Garland, Hampton
| and the other great minds of the South has
on national respect and confidence, redeemed
ne States they represent from the vassalage of
s,'ollation that followed the war, restored them
to their wonted prestige and equality with
| their sister commonwealth. The patriotic
work wrought by these distinguished leaders.
and the mutual effort of the conservative mass
es OF all sections in constant struggle of
twelve years must not be undone in hour
of thougbtless folly by rash counsels, intempe-
rate actions, and especially should
1t not be done now when party
asperities among us are softened by a common
sorrow, and When, in the hour of our calamity.
patriotic national teachings and the cultivation
OF fraternal feelings have borne to our lips
their golden fruit, in a charity and sympathy
so generous and munifcent to know no
bounds, save the limits of our misfortunes and
necessities. Believing that my return to Con
gress would not be nistasteiul to any consider
able number of the people of this district,
announce myself a candidate for reelection
and respectfully solicit the support of my fell
| low-citizens of all parties and of every class
Very respectfully, CASEY YOUNG.
