OF the good people OF this county when
they hear of the huge joke which the

We are rot astsnishsd. His reputation
has been too long established here
"For ways that are dark
And tricks that are vain,"
to admit Of astenishment at anything
he might represent.
Ambrose was elected one OF the JUS

til the tall Of 1874. He was elected as
a radical republican, on the radical re-

The democratic candidates for the
legislature acquitted themselves very
c~reditably at the the opera house
Wednesday night. They all declared
in favor of united demoor G aud
victory over the republican party. As
to the yexed state debt question, they
declared in favor Ofobtainirg the vefy
best compromise possible and of sub
hitting that to the people, through
a constitutional convention. As to the
method by which this question shall
oe subjected to the people, we are not
disposed to bubble. The democratic
convention at Nashville, in August,
1878 declared that no settlement
should be final unless submitted to
the people at a separate election held
for that purpose. The leading men Of
the state were committed to that plank.
Many a speech was made and many
an article was written in favor of IL.
Submission is still the cent? |
issue. 1t is the main plank upon
which Mr.. Wilson is running, aud
will probably be elected. For years
there has been a growing opinion that
a constitutional convention should be
held for various purposes. A settle
ment Of the state debt agreed to BY
the legislature, aud referred to a con.
stitutional convention would have to
be submitted to a direct vote Of the
people. Those who have conscientious
scruples about leaving this question
to the people who will have to pay the
taxes, could not consistently interposC
any objection to a constitutional con
vention passing dpon the subject. NJ
settlement on earth will ever be bind
ing or final that is not in some shape
or by some method submitted to the
people aud made plain to them. Any
device to avoid this will fail, and
this fact is fully recognized in
Shelby county. As to the method,
.bat is not SO material as to be- cause
Of serious difference. 0ur nominees
recognize the f,ct that unity is essen
tial, and that without it a republican
legislature will be elected and Senator
Baily turned out to make room for a

ale. They know, too, that Memphis
will again need some speciallegislatio
and that may measures Of local and
general importance will be presented
for consider ton aud action. Shelby
county cannot afford to send a singl,
republican to the legislature this veal
and in all probability will not.
