Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-06-17

JACKSON, Mss, June 1.-THE Chalmers
mssh here wac complete. Lynch sat down
upon the "litlle gane-ooek" with vigor. At
a time when Lynch was absent from the all,
out IN the commIItee-room, while a tempo
rary chairman was presiding, some Of The
Chalmers crowd called for him to address
tue meeting. He was absent; and then, to
show The
CONTEMPT FOR THE GENERAL,
or love for Ham Carter, Ham was called for.
Carter politely excused himself, and then
Lynch took the chsIr, no one having sd
tue courage to reiterale the call for Chalmers
which had been made IN his absence. He
then adjourned the meeting. Just ss the
gsyel fell the breathless friends of Chalmers
p6shed him into the room, and asked to have
the meeting called to order that the general
might have an opportunity Of addressing it.
This Lynch refused to do. He said: "Let
Gen. Chalmers address the citiz=ns Of Jack
SOD, If he pleases l shall not call the com
millee together for
ANY SUCH PURPOSE"
Here is the resolution which Chalmers's
friends tried 10 have passed:
Resolved, That we recognize Gen. J. R. Chsl
mers as fdend and ally IN whom We have conf
denoe. He Endorsed by the Republicans in
his district and was fairly elected a friend OF
certificate by the enemies of the administration
We therefore recommend that the Republican
party o. sac nation anu the administration give
him all OF the recognition due to contestant who
was honestly elected.
Al erroneous report thst it passed having
gained circulation, Lynch officially denied
it, in special to the VIcksburg Herald yes
terday, which | had repeated to the APPEAL
last night. There seems to be but one
opinion here amoag Democrats about this
mater. They looked on from a disinterested
standpoint, and all sgree that Lynch
SAT DOWN HEAVILY
upon the general.
OF course Mckee, Ware, Kerr, Hull and
others here insist that Chalmers get all he
wanted; but they have to say this, because it
makes them feel sore over their defea at.
They we're backing Chalmers. Just now
ihe citizens of this city are kicking hard
against nigh taxes. | will give you little
incident, just to show you how high they
really are: Jackson is trying to organize a
bnilding association. AT one of their meet
ings last week Judge Cooper, Of the Supreme
Court, proposed that the association be dom
iCiied outside Of the city limits, in order TO
ESCAPE IT'S HIGH TAXES.
Ene city tax amounts to one and hall
per cent. per annum. And what makes il
have no lights. This is sad commentary
upon the capital Of the great and growing
S ate Of Mississippi, but it is fact, never
theless. jackson has had the same mayor
for eight or ten years, and it seems impossi
bic TO beat him. There is some talk here,
ii taxes are not reduced, OF making Jackson
A TAXING-DIsrRICT,
