this city on Saturday evening, and it is
hoped the Democratic Executive Committee
will see to it that he has reception which
will do honor TO the man, the cause and the
great commercial emporium Of West Ten
uessee. Gen. Bate has been received with an
ovation in most OF the email towns in every
section of the State, and it will not do for
| Memphis to be derelict in ignoring our dis
tinguished champion. Gen. Bate addressed
the people of Paris, Tenn, ON Saturday last,
and the following special TO the Nashville
| World shows how he was received and how
he ought to be received here in Memphis:
