BIZ E. l.. u. BRISTOL.

We met on she stairs of the grand salon
ALI, that night, that night! !
Mid music and whirl and crush of the ball
And tropical perfumes and light
just pressure of a soft white hand,
Dark eyes smiled with mad desire,
And was left alone with bursting heart
With brain and soul on fire.
Once in the dance held her flowers,
The sweet, sweet mignonette;
The night waned slow; hid them away;
Alas. have them yet
Oh, that night it will never come back;
Why was made of clayf
Why did not break the game of chance
AND make a tomorrow of to-day7

AS TO MR.. CHASE.

To vote for w. J. Chase is 10 vote for q
man who represents those elements Of our
community which once ruined Memphis,
and, in running Memphis, enabled certain
men TO make large fortunes out Of the
wreckage. He is backed by men who
would destroy the form OF govern
ment which we now enjoy. Ho
is also backed by those men
who have made the court house a bat
cave. The bat, as everyone knows, is an
unclean bird, and just now these uncloan
birds arc seeking to take possession Of the
city hall. There is no good citizen. what
ever may be his condition in life, who
would willingly consent by his vote TO
such n state Of things. w. J. Chase,
the records show, made large for
tune out OF the distrcsses Of the
city ten years ago. The amount was more
than $4,000. The records OF the board OF
aldermen OF which, he was president, show
that. while he was president. the board up
propriated large sums Of money TO pay him
or his firm for supplies 10 the city. Now
We ask every citizen Of Memphis. poor
and rich, black and white, II Il
Is well TO put in office a
man OF this character. a man who. while
an alderman, made these large and valua-
bic sales Of supplies to the city. We do
not think any good citizen can say that il
would be well. There Is nothing which
men regard meaner than the ret Of man
who uses public Office to in
crease his private business, and the
records Of the old government show
that W. ]. Chase, while an alderman. sold
the city supplies. and that the board OF
aldermen voted TO pay him. And w. j.
Chase no, only did this, but he was n scrip
broker in tho dreadful days Of 1873, and
discounted the pay Of city employees at the
most ruinous rates, no that when the
widow or the orphan Of dead
policemen or fireman, or city employe
with a starving family came to him with
scrip hc would buy Il and make large
sums Of money in profit on H. Can any
poor man consent to vote 10 put such q
man in Office again' We cannot think Il
possible. II is indeed strange that such q
man should be n candidate, but the OK
PLANTATION is that he was nominated 10y
men Of his own kind, men whose only
hope is In his election.

for making -four il mill, he would not
trust the RECONSTRUCTION OF its machinery

who had every interest in seeing the new
method successful So il is with the people
and the council. The time is coming, Us we
have said, when the people will have
to make a new deal with the street railway
company, and it would be the most fool
ish thing in the would for the people to
put in the council men interested in having
the old system maintained, whereby the
city got nothing and the street railway
companies everything. No good citizen
who has the best interest Of the city ut
heart, can afford, therefore. TO vote for Mr..
Arnold, tho street railway director and
stakeholder. Read the address OF the ex-
ecutivc committee OF tho Peoples Ticket
and you will find this great issue well
stated.

tive statistics" The building record Of
the city is remarkable 10 contemplate. For
several years the average number OF houses
built was 5000, and in 1886 4, 4S5 buildings
were erected, at cost Of Sill ,500,0 900. The
advance which has taken place in real es-
tate values is remarkable. In 1855 titles
were obtained for land at 81 25 per acre,
where now the cost per acre is 100000 to
100000. The limits Of the city are con-
siantly extending; in 1887 new territory
was taken in, so that now II comprises an
area Of fifty-iour square miles. The reai
estate transfers in the first nine months 0
the present year were valued at S44, 1868,
$50, against SIS, $4,000 in twelve months

The banner Bearer stabbed.

The colored citizens had proceeded to
the place OF meeting almost in a body,
with fife and drum, and at the head OF the
column man marched with large torch
lit banner, on which was inscribed.
Injecting OF the Peoples Ticket
at Beale Street Market Tonight"
The bearer OF this sign was Tay-
lor Fleck, a peaceable and law abiding cit
izen, who had enthusiastically volun-
teered to bear the banner, which was a
symbol Of the victory to I've achieved on
Thursday next. As the procession ap-
preached the speakers stand, no was
tauntingly accosted by a young colored
supporter OF the Chase ticket named Wal
ter Townsend. Some hot words were ex-
changed between the two, and Fleck had
turned TO march on, when Town
send dashed at him with long
bladed knife. A friend screamed to Fleck
to run, and he did so, pursued by Towns
end, who made several savage strokes at
him in the back. One Of the slashes struck
the fleeing man midway the back, cutting
his coat and making flesh wound Of
several inches. Townsend fed, and, despite
the efforts of those who pursued him,
made good his escape.
