TO BEAT MADDEN.
Any body 10 Heat the President of the
Taxing District and Prevent His
Reelection.
Can Any body Tell Why There Is saeh
"a Cry? What Has He Done TO
Arouse Ity

To the Editors of the Appeal:
That is the nut Just now. Can any one
tell iO,t5 it is SC important to defeat Tim
Has he loaned himself TO any corrupt
scheme? Does he belong to any CLIQUE
Is be not still trying to convince Frayser
and Barrett that our streets belong to the
people and not to I. and B. Has he de-
MED to the other street railway Company
any privileges or rights necessary to con-
struct and operate their lines? Are not he
and Lse and Montgomery and Randle and
Patterson and Kney doing all. they can to
compel the Water Company to furnish to
the people Of Memphis good, wholesome
water for all domestic uses, in compliance
with the terms OF their charter? Are not
some of our best citizens aiding Hadden to
win this fl zht against the Water Clmpsny? +?
Has Napoleon Hill, or Cotton Greene, or
any other good citizen, any sob" on hand
in this struggle to secure good, pure water
tor the people, who are now compelled t }
pay for mud instead of water? Has Had
den found any bonanza in these contests
with puffe street-car lines and mahogany
water?
Then why this itching crszs to get nd of
him? You remember this coupls.:
''I ID not like you, DIR. Fell,
The reason why l cannot tell;
But this one thing l know full we'll
L do not like you, DR.. Fell
As broad as it is long. Hadden has lnur-
dered no one has robbed no one; has done
his duty as an officer and q citiz en- but he
is in the way of two corporations of the
city, and he is determined, with the aid OF
our best people, to compel these two cor
porations to do their duty. Two or three
men mask all this opposition. Fortunately
no one connected vita the Water Company
will have so little respect for himself and
his fellow-citizens as 10 come out as the
Water Company's candidate, and avow his
opposition to the present movement to
compel that COMPANY to supply the people
| with pure water. Such an ayowal would
sink him so tar in the mud of public d. am
| nation that the hand OF resurrection could
never reach him even if proffered by that
| great moral Willipus Wallopus, Sam Jones.
Neither a member of the Water Com
pany, nor any one direct or remotely con-
nected, ''need apply for Office" before the
| public tribunal of Memphis.
| The candidate put up by such a com.
pany would be showed under, not because
| of any personal demerit, but only because
| of his connection with company which
| for Yeas, has been charging for good mud
| the fu price usually charged for good
/ water.
The candidate of the Water Company
| will be dead cock in the pit long before
the day of election.
s., too, of Frayser and Barrett's street
railway. Twill not do 10 have divided
authority in this city; and as Hadden and
Lee ar Montgomery are reaching Fraysel
some hard lessons now, best not interfere
The lame attempt to run in Capt Hack
as Hadden's destined victor is as- ..zsndJ
as it is unjust to worthy gentleman
Back has held office for years and has
been faithful and reliable officer. Bu
his friends (or rather, Hadden's enemies
would make the public believe that B aci
has been in Office SO long as to be unfit fo
any private post; that he has fed from tn,
public crib so long as to be unable to SUD
port himself in any other way thai
in public office, and that having so wei
and so long administered one public office
he is the very man needed to defeat Had
den.
The card won't win. To defeat Hadde,
now would be to give Frayser and Barret
the control of the streets of the city an,
compel our citizens to drink mud TO
twenty years more. LOOKOUT.
