1t is a great mistake for any one to
suppose that the effort of the republi-
cans to elect General Garfield will be
wanting in ardor. 1t is true that
among the most intelligent and raAaet.
ing members of the party, who are in
independent circumstances and free
rom personal interest in the public
offices, there may be lack of zeal /:
while not few of these will vote for
General Hancock, believing that a
change will be wholesome to the body
polite.
The ferceness Of the contest will
come from the oficeholders. Many of
them are believed to be defaulters.
and all of them are very tenacious of
their places.
To defeat the oficeholders the
greatest efforts of the people will be
required.

4 THE greenback candidate for presi-
dent has a great deal of assurance,
though not more than some of his
followers hereabouts. The Pittsburgh
Post says he is claiming two or three
additional states day now, at which
rate he will have the whole union
brought into the greenback column
before July is gone; then he won't
have blessed thing to do the other
three months, and a man without
anything to do is pretty sure to get
into mischief. If the greenback can
didate has any gumption at all he
will leave state or two in the doubt
{ul column just to have something to
work at after the hot weather is over.
In the meantime it would be well for
the demo ,rats who have been wooed
into the greenback ranks to under
stand the situation thoroughly. Just
now the republicans are using the
third party delusiOn to defeat the
democrats, as is apparent from the aid
they are giving them to make a strong
fight in Alabama. Nothing can be
gained by the greenbackers through
this; they simply and thoughtlessly
assist the common enemy, the
republicans, to retain the grasp of
power held so many years to the detri-
ment Of the best interests of the
country.

The TragedIan,s Kid.

San Francisco Postl
On Howard street the other day,
Where are you going my pretty
maid2" asked a benevolent old gentle
man, as he chuckled under the chin a
little tot ota six-year-old, who was
walking grayely along with a basket
on her arm
"Give thee good day, graybeard, "
replied the midget, simply. "My father
bade me to the shambles HE for fat
haunch."
"W-w-what2" calculated the old
party.
HAPPY thou knowest him, the good
man skidmore2" inquired the tiny
dame.
"No-o-o," said the gentleman, much
puzzled with the evident aarnestness
Of the child. you're a quaint little
thing Come with me, and I'll buy
you some candy"
"Alackl | am forbid to taFry, gentle
sir. / need be blythe. Their patience
stays upon my coming"
Good by said the old gentleman.
REST you, merry master" and dip
ping chubby little courtesy the mite
trotted off.
BLESS my soul What an extraor-
dinary child" said the gentleman to
neighbor, who had been looking on.
"0h, that's nothing, replied the
other. You see, she's the daughter
of Bilson, the heavy man at the thea
ter, and suppose they talk so much
of that kind Of lingo in the family
that it comes natural to her. Doesn't
hear anything else, you see"

THE colored radicals who derive
employment and support from white
people, have been heard to boast that
the election of Shaw would enable
them to carry the November election
and then the April election. After
the present city government is over
thrown they expect to get three dol
lars day for working on the streets
whereas they are only paid dollar
and quarter day now.
The radicals, white and black,
are making this fight with view to
the April election. They desire to
get possession of the city government
and run things in the old, reckless
style. We would have happy time
under the rule of a set of commission
ers nominated by Ed. Shaw, L. B.
Eaton a. Go. That firm would close up
what is left of Memphis in just about
two years, al d there would be nothing
left worth taxing or taking
The people, as matter of business
and common sense, cannot afford to
lose this election. 1t is more ques-
tion of dollars and cents, and the pro-
lection of life and property, than of
politics. The better elements of the
community have never failed to carry
an election in this county when they
ere united, and they are united now
