-P.J. Quigley, the noxt Clerk Of
the County Court, a native oil Ireland,
came to Memphis In 1865, whore he
went to work at his trade as a eaddler.
Nine years later he was elected JUS
tice OF the Peace, and in 1878 was
made City Recorder. He was mem.
OF the Poor Law Commission when
the reform was brought about, and
has always been the determined en-.
envy OF iobbery. As an illustration OF
his fortitude aud high sense Of duty,
II may be stated that in the perilous
time Of 1873 he opened and held the
Recorders Court every day in the
week, Sundays excepted, from the
beginning TO the end OF that trying
period. Such man, with such a
record, nominated by one Of the finest
conventions that ever assembled in
Shelby county, surely adds strength
to the ticket, and will be elected with
the rest by an overwhelming ma
jority.
President MADDEN said yesterday
that there was not the slightest dan
ger that any contract for water would
be made without full consideration in
which the public should share. He
said the Council would not stultify
itself by acting, until the committee
OF ten made q report. They were en-
gagged in making q full investigation
OF the matter and there would be no
haste. Everything would be done
deliberately. 1t would require two or
three years to get supply. Legis-
lation would be necessary, In the
meantime the present company was
bound to furnish an abundant supply
Of wholesome water. II their ma
chinery was not ample 1t was not the
fault OF the city, but OF the company.
When the city got ready to distribute
its supply through pipes, II would
offer the old company what it would
cost TO build new, allowing for wear
and tear, and If they did not care 10
sell for that, the city could 10 on with
its own distributing pipes.
