Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-09-05
Nampa.gn Notes,

1t is now thought by some that instead oil
running for Congress in the Fourthd ~istriet,
A. t. Wimberly will assist General Chalmers
IN canvassing the Second district.
Chalmers had his eyes opened at Holly
Springs Saturday. Bunny was badly hacked,
but will fight it out. His prospects for stay,
ing at home are increasing every day.
Jim George, as you call him, is by far the
biggest man Mississippi has in Congress, and
deserves ovations as such from all her viii
lagos, towns and cities.-AberdeeB Weekly.
1t ia said that HiII's deputies have quit
| collecting revenue for the time being, and
are pushing the claims of Hill for Congress.
Here is a chance for civil-service reform.
Major E. Bsrksdale is making a thorough
anvas of his district, and his election may
be put dow as a certainty. Hill has not as
yet resigned his Office of revenue collector.
The Mississippi Republican is red hot for
Chalmers, and d%enounces Ham Carriers can
didacy in unmeasured terms. Wonder if
some of Chalmers campaign sugar is not be-
hind the concern.
A State paper says that if Chalmers is
elected to Congress this year he will be a
candidate for governor in 1884. God forbid
he should be cent to Congress this year.
Natchez Democrat.
The Hon. S. NJ. Roane, of Walthall, is out
ss an independent candidate for Congress
against the Hon. 81. D. Money. Mr.. Roane
will be sat down upon beyond all question
by a majority that will horrify him.
A telegram to the Avalanche states that
Carter, on his arrival here, asked TO be
shown the house of Colonel Manning, and
went directly there. Colonel Manning was
absent and his family never heard it if true.
Holly Springs South.
Last year when Ben King was a candidate
for governor on the "full vote, free ballot
and fair count" platform, his supporters used
Chalmers Ito point a moral and adorn .
tale" Now Chalmers is using them 10 try TO
get back to Congress.
General Chalmers is opposed TO national
banks, and will yet vote, 30 he declares, for a
Republican speaker of the House, when it ia
well known that Republicans are in favor of
perpetuating these grasping ~monopolies. We
zee no consistency in that.-Jackson Clarion.
The little resolution of the Sardis conven-
lion indorsiug General Chalmers is quite
vague and indefinite. 1t signally fails 10
say how much or what part of General
Chalmers's record it indorses. We want to
know if it was intended to indorse his past
record, or the record which he may make in
the future. Do our Republican friends in
tend to 60 the whole hog, or 10 they simply
propose TO take only the tsil?-Oyford Eagle.
Colonel o. r. Singleton will return to the
State in lime to address his feilow-citizens
at the more important places In the Fifth
district. In rendering an account of his
stewardship he will have facts to sustain
him, and an appreciative people TO listen
to him. His friends will be pleased to learn
that he has derived no little benefit from his
trip to the mountains of Virginia. This is
shown in the brightness of his eye and the
elasticity of his step.-YdsOo Cty Herald.
The redoubtable Ham Carter has per-
formed another acrobatic feat, and jumped
from Vicksburg over to The Second district,
and announced himself a candidate for Con-
gress on the Republican ticket against Chal-
mers and Manning. @Ham" is 2 turbulent,
bad politician, but he is rather 4 sprightly
fellow, and will doubtless have his influence
felt. Of course he will not go to Congress,
neither will Chalmers; so If it Is any glory
or fun for them to run, let 'em nav it.
Hams candidacy can't bother the Democracy,
therefore "wade in lemons, and be squeezed
-CofeeUiWe Times.
