THE JANUARY ELECTION.
Interviews, with Nearly All of Thos,
osHiiemen Who
Have Been Menffoaed in Connection,
with the Januais Election,


The article on city politics which ap-
Peared in the APPEAL yesterday morning,
was generally read and commented upon.
The opinion seems to be that interest in
the coming contest, which WIS Tagging,
has been revived by 1t, an'i tliat good men
can be 'f'oEe easily brought out.
MEssRs. HADDEN AND ovERToS.
Mr.. Overton and Mr.. Hadden were seen,
but did not have leisure for such an ex-
preston of their views as they will be able
to give on another occasion.
MR.. WINTERS.
Mr.. Winters was busy With the Haley
case in the Criminal Court when seen by
the reporter, who asked him if he wanted
to talk politics any. He smiled when the
full meaning of the question dawned upon
him and then very decidedly said no, with
shake of his head. The reporter was
recailed ss he was leaving and Mr.. w in
ters explained that he was busy with the
case before the court.
"Would any tir,e this evening do you ?'
81 cent tell. We may be all the even
ing getting jury"
MR.. GAVIN.
Seeing Mr.. Gavin in Main street store
the APPEAL man cautiously approached
him and opened up the conversation by
remarking "Nice day, Mr.. Gavin, but y
Now, what IS It how9" said Mr. Gavin,
deprecatingiy.
"But do you intend to be a candidate
for Office again in January2"
'Oh, no; don't Want it and never
did,, was the reply.
Heard you did not intend to run," said
the reporter, who turned to leave, when
Mr.. Gavin said, "You needn't say any,
thing about this. You know it is too early
to say anything yet-a MIN can't make up
his mind about these things in moment
"Theh you are undecided?'
81 can't say what | may do. may run
and | may not, but with all the lights now
before me l think it very doubtful"
MR.. QUIGLEY.
Justice P. J. Quigley, whost name has
frequently been mentioned in connection
with seat in the Council, said he would
not consent to allow his name TO be used
for the Office for a moment, as his time
was fully taken up with his business. He
was glad to see, however, that the matter
was being ventilated by the APPEAL, as
it would set the people to thinking-wake
them up, in other words-and be the
means OF bringing ott good men. There
were plenty TO be found.
MR.. GRAHAM.
MI IOlli o. bliildlll, WHO HIS DecH IstN-
orably mentioned for the Council, was
asked plainly If he would be candidate.
81 don't want the office" Mr.. Graham
said, ''and / would not have it from the
political ringsters, but if l were asked to
run by the taxpayers and business men
OF the city, l would consent to do SO. l
am Chelsea man, and Chelsea wants a
representative, but Of course / would be
in favor of measures for the general good.
Whatever would benefit Memphis would
benefit Chelsea"
MIR. BURKE.
Mr.. Burke stated that he had no inten-
ton of becoming candidate for re-elec
ton, as he had his hands full OF his own
business and could not afford to give the
tine. He would give his views more fully
hereafter.
MR.. COCHRAN.
AT the Peabody Hotel last night Mr..
Cochran was seen, and after calling atten-
ton to the error made in stating that Mr.
Livermore would go out, said he was the
happy man. He has three business offices
in various parts of the city, and declares
he has no time to devote to city affairs.
