The immolation Of Jim Anderson upon
the shrine Of political fansticism is
creditable to the modest patriotism OF
this heroic citizen who does not want
office. But then the Radicals want the
office to have him.
The Bluff City Grays and the Chicka.
saw guards had a drill last night. The
Chickasaw want.the Bluff City Grays to
go with them to st. Louis and engage in
a battalion drill, but this will hardly be
possible, as four companies are required
for this. The Bluff City Grays will
probably go to Atlanta.
If the men who desire reform, re.
trenchment and economy in political
administration can swallow the Radical
and Republican ticket, they are either
ignorant of what they do, or are passive
promoters of a scheme which seeks to
restore the Republicans to power in
Memphis and Shelby county.
The Nationals had to give up Judge
Scruggs and Colonel George B. Fleece
because they were sincerely opposed to
the Radical and Democratic parties.
The Nationals were made to accept Jas.
Anderson because he is opposed to De.
mocracy, but favors the Radical party,
and this in order to get Office.
