April 1, 1879"
The Galiatin Examiner, in speaking of
our esteemed senator in the State legisla-
ture, says: 1.-THE coming man' of Tennes-
see Is Senator j. W. Clapp, of Memphis.
His minority report upon the State debt, and
great speech IN the senate upon the same,
marks him rs a statesman. The country will
now turn to him as one of its great leaders.
He would be a first rate man to make our
next governor. There are several other good
men for the same position, but, considering
the matter all around, he would suit us best.
We will support any good man who is right
on this question, but never one who Is wrong.
We did it once too often and have been sorry
for it ever since. Party is very good thing
when right, but very bad when wrong.
There are tens of thousands Of good Demo-
Gratis In Tennessee who will kick dishonest
platform from under their heels and follow
their own judgment hereafter. They were
led with a string on their noses last year, but
next year the string won't be there. They
have made up their minds to stuck to princi-
pie and to the Democracy in which they were
brought up. If the balance of the party go
away from it they can go, and we will have a
true Democratic party in Tennessee. We
havn't had one for some time"

ports the re 3ipt of ten thousand four hum
bred and twenty dollars and 6fty-seven cents

report does not include any moneys sent to
aud disbursed by the Central relief commit

| DR.. Goodyear is a highly respected citizen of
Memphis, engaged in the drug business, and
was one of the small number of citizens who
could have left the city during this terrible
| scourge, but, for the sake of humanity and
his feIlow-sufferers, nobly remained at his
post and labored day ard night in the allevi-
alton of the suferings of the sick and dying.
| The mayor OF the city having fallen victim
to the dread scourge, DR.. Goodyear was
| unanimously proclaimed mayor, which oner-
GUS position he occupied until the epidemic
had disappeared. We refer to these few facts
with pride, portraying the noble self-sacrihce
of an intimate personal friend of our younger
days, but who has been citizen of Memphis
for upward of twenty-five years. He ex-
the afflicted brethren of Memphis and OF the
State for this timely aid in the hour of their
