The election yesterday in this city passed
off quietly and light vote was polled.
During the day the Democrats felt consid-
erably depressed, owing to the circula alton of
the usual rumors by the tricky Republicans
that everything had "gone hell bent" against
the Democracy. OF course it was only one
Of their beautiful devices, and of course it
was false. They were especially anxious to
create the impression that Col. Casey 9oung's
defeat was assured. The maiignancy OF
the Radicals and so-callsd Democrats pur-
sued him to the last. He was known to be
the dangerous foe of the Republican party,
and as such their most insidious shafts were
aimed al him; but the magnificent victory
gained by him yesterday is q complete vim
dication, and should forever silence the old
gosslps who have been spreading venomous
reports about him. Col. Young has can
vassed the district thoroughly, and to him,
perhaps, more than any one man is due the
fine result attained. The district may now
congratulate itself on being represented by
Democratic statesman; one who will make
no disreputable "breaks" in Congress. The
APPEAL congratulates the people of
Tennessee on again securing the
disciplined congressman. No man in the
South has ever given brighter promise of
usefulness than Col. YouBg. Two years ago
he was beaten by an intellectual nonenity,
and Shelby county, as well as the district at
large, has had ample reason 10 regret the re-
tirement Of Col. Young. The Republicans
in this election nominated for Congress
VIM. NJ. Smith, most estimable gentleman
in his private life, but one whose political
record was decidedly unsavory. The latter
fact, however, was no disqualification in the
eyes of his party, and the secret of
his defeat lies in the fact that
he is simply respectable cipher.
Considering the influences brought 10 bear
against Col. Young and the fact that Hub
BELLS money was concentrated almost exclus-
lively on him, his victory is a most credita-
BILE one. The entire Democratic ticket for
the Legislature is elected; unless the dis
tricts yet to hear from give results differing
from all their previous ones. Shelby has
in this matter been redeemed, and repre-
scented by such men as Porter, Galloway,
Patterson and others she may take that
place in the legislative councils which |
her wealth and intelligence merit. |
These seven Democratic legislators have |
further significance: they mean seven votes |
for Senator Isham q. Harris. The enthu- |
siasm began 10 break loose last night when |
the returns came rapidly in at the court
house, indicating Democratic victory. As |
the reports came in from the various wards
and districts, the crowd grew boisterous and |
repeatedly cheered. Announcements of DEM
and other States caused the widest en,hu-
siasm.
The day was marred by ne unseemly incl
dents. The Workingmen were considerably |
excited when they learned that the colored
men we're voting the Republ:-
can ticket almost solid. The colored men,
however, manifested yesterday an independ-
ence highly commendable. In the Fifth and
Tenth wards great numbers of them voted
he 10 aEQf at |
are tired of Radical rule. 1t is gratifying
10 note the fine vote cast for Gen. Bate, the
gallant standard bearer of the Tennessee
Democracy, by Shelby couniy-a county
hitherto always doubtful.
