[ arrived IN thus city yesterday.
After having spent several days
amid blooming flowers, where balmY
brsezes and warming sunshine
prevail, I feel chilled to the core
whenever 1 step out on the streets.
The truth Is, il is gate cold here.
A light snow covers the ground,
and the icy winds sweep cuttingly
through streets and alleys. Still
Memphis goes on with its usual
hustle and rush. The city grows
daily, and is destined to be at no
distant day enc Of the greatest and
grandest trade marts on the Faith er
ct Waters.
Our distinguished and talented
young Congressman, James Phelan
is here for a few days among his
friends, He seems to be the cen
trail figure sf public attention.
Crowds gather around him on the
streets, and shower their respects
upon him. 1t seems that almost
every one is anxious to give "JIm"
a friendly shake. His wonderful
popularity with the masses appears
to bs more deeply rooted in their af-
fectiOns now than ever. 1 have
heard few laboring nen, who pro.
Tess to have been enthusiastic for
his election in 1885, say that they
are opposed to his re nomination on
account Of his low-tarif tendencies.
These fellows claim to be officers in
the labor organizations here, and
stated to me that they intend to
support a Republican for Congress
this year in order to get a represen-
tative who will vote for the protsc-
ton and fostering of laber. l have
also heard three anti>prohibition
leaders, enc the editor of an anti
prohibition paper here last sum nsr)
say that they intend to oppose Phe-
lan's denomination because he re-
fufed to take sides with the ants
in the constitutional amendment
fight. This is the strength of the
opposition which l have 50 fan
heard against Mr.. Phelan. Ny
opinion is that he will receive an
overwhelming majority at the pri-
maries for denomination this sunni
mer) say that they intend to oppose
| Phelan's denomination because he
refused to take sides with the ants
in the constitutional amendment
fight This is the strength of the
opposition which | have so far
heard against MIR. Phelau. My
opinion is that he will receive an
overwhelming NJ ajority at the pri-
maries for denomination this sum-
mer. His friends are numerous
and determined.
Hon. Zach Taylor is here smiI-
ing and nOsing around, organizing
his forces preparatory for the CON,
ing fight. It is, believed that the Hon,
Zach has his eye on both the COVER
AorshiP and congrsssmanship. Il
his political lassS farIs to moose one,
il will perhaps, halter the other
that is, he intends to catch "gwine
and eummin''. Well, the Hon.
Zach IS a willy fellow, and is most
sure to capture something in the
way of a nomination, If not an cleo
ton,
| l learn from s, L. Lee & Co.,
that our brilliant and energetic
young towns man, Mr.. Fred Nesly,
who lately went en- the road for
said firm has been lying dangerous
| ~ i'll with typhoid fever at Bolivar,
fer several days. am exceedingly
sorry to hear of this misfortune.
Fred IS a promising youH & business
gentleman, and his talents and eHers
gy are sufficient to warrant a brill
liant and prosperous career. hope
he may sOSn recover, and again en-
ter the field for which his employers
say be is so well fitted.
The New Clarendon Hotel, adj
vertised In the Bulletin and operated
by our genial friend E. L. Estep,
is mevins off under the brightest
auspices. BY examining the tran
sient and city registers, / find that
the hotel entertains about sixty
guests daily. The tables are well
laden with the good things that
tempt and satisfy our dear appetltss,
the rooms are newly papered, and
furnished with elegant suites of bran
new furniture. Our dashing and
affable Ysung friend. Mr.. Dock Bry-
ant, formerly Of Grand Junction, is
day clerk, and Dir. James Morrison,
of Kansas City night clerk. l find
that almost every Bulletin reader
here when in the city. The fact
that they do, does credit to their
taste and choice.
