OPPOSITION TO SHAW

1t Is great mistake to suppose that the
Intelligent colored men of Memphis are to
be led by Ed Shaw into a support of the
Pshaw ticket. The APPEALS commissioner
interviewed several eolored men yesterday
who have far more influence with their race
than Ed Shaw-men whose modesty and
whose brains make them weary o. the absurd
prentensions of this self-appoinfed leader of
his race. One of them yesterday remarked
to the reporter: ave intend to vote for the
Citizens ticket for two reasons principally.
The first is that we regard it as composed
OF the best men, and, secondly. we are heart
lily tired of being bossed by Ed Shaw. The
time for saviors Of the colored people has
past. We are now free, and can take care of
ourselves. Ed Shaw's assumption of the
role of savior is all played out. During the
last week number of us who are tired of
his supremacy, have been holding our meet
ings, and we have decided to vote for Messrs.
Hadden, Burke and Graves"
Some may think this is the spite
of a few of the colored race, but
it is not so. The man who spoke this is in
advance of Ed Shaw in culture, in sense, in
modesty, in everything which constitutes a
man. The colored N IN who will snow Shaw
under are many, ard have regular headquar-
ters, where they con, ult with each other to-
ward tending their d to the MADDEN, Burke |
and Graves ticket.

A word as to Mr.. Burke's crime of being
railroad man. 1t has been said that Major
Burke has obtained important railroad ad-
vantsges frem the city for the Mississippi and
Tennessee road. An investigation of the
records of the old city council shows that on
the 4th of January, 1877, at a meeting OF
the general council of the city Of Memphis,
a report was made by spscial committee,
of which Mr.. w. J. Chase was a member.
submitting and recommending the adoption
of contract with the Mississippi and Ten
nessee, the Memphis and Charleston, the
Louisville, Nashville ard Great Southern,
the Paducah and Memphis, and the Mem
phis and Little Rock The contract states
that "lhe city of Memphis, for the purpose
of facilitating the construction of union
passenger and freight railroad, designed to
the tracks of the different railroads |
terminating in said city, hereby grants to the |
said railroad companies the right TO lay down
and maintain for the period of ninety-nine |
years a single-track railrosd"

The opposition to the Hadden, Burke and

election approaches, the certainty that these
gentlemen will be chosen by the people be-
comes more assured. The people have found
out that Mr.. Chase was member of the old
city council, and if there ever was a local
body that has become distasteful to the pop
ular palate, il is that same old city council
Mem phis does not want even a reminder or
an aroma of that fragrant old carcass The
Pshaw ticket men have been trying to create
an unjust prejudice against Major Burke on
the ground that he is railroad man. And
yet it is far better to be a railroad man than
a member of the old council, whose iondness
for bonds smells rank to heaven,

can be verified by referring to the list of

WHARF AND LANDING,

Considering the difficulties and draw
backs encountered, large amount of
work has been done in the past
three years in grading and extending the
wharf and landing southwark from Union
street and to the south side OF Beale. About
thirty thousand square yards OF new pave
ment has been laid, making new levee front
OF some eleven hundred feet, by over two
hundred and fifty feet with the slope. Two
thirds of this work is of first-class block
stone and the remainder first-olass rnbble
range work. About four thousand cubic
yards of stone rip-rap has been placed at this
levee as a protection against washing and
undermining OF same. The total expendi-
lures Tor wharf improvements 10 the present
will approximate $4,000 This should he
continued until the entire levee front from
Jefferson to Union has been fully repaired
and made secure, large part of the repair
ing of which can be done within the NEXT
year ii taken in time

ofRE TO ALL,

Any one reading this contract will find it
exceedingly liberal, in fact more so than any
granted during the Taxing District govern
ment, and Mr.. w. j. Chase favored this,
showing that he sympathized very properly
with the progressive idea that the railroads
should have admission 10 the city. Another
contract was entered into by the city and the
Mississippi and Tennessee road August Is,
1873, was approved by the council and the
mayor, but was cut off when the old city gov
eminent was abolished. This document
also grants most liberal privileges to the
road. This is sufficient TO show that the
idea of track for the railroads was not first
conceived under the Taxing District govern
ment. The PsfaE people can see crime in
the election OF railroad man TO the council,
but only sees virtue in the eltc ;io4 of
gambler. The fight against Major Burke, |
BY innuen..a, ia so unfair tina! by Thursday the |
good people of Memphis viii see clearly
through the dodge, and will give him such |
IN Endorsement that he will be proud of.
