The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-05
A Dark Horse Enters tho Ring But
Docs Not Stay Long.
Fishback Withdraws In Very Adj
mirable and Manly Way.
Every Indication Points to the Sue
cess OF Hughes.
The Result, However, Still Shadowed
In Problematic Doubt--A Pen
Picture OF the Fine Person
mol OF tho Convention.
srecInl pI.ratch to The Arpcnl.

BILE body in many respects 50 remarkable
in fact that none OF its conspicuous feat
urcs merit particular description. The
convention hall is the opcrahouse, the
4j3 delegates being in the orchestra and
orchestra circle. Above them IL semi
circular tier similar TO the dress circle Of
the Memphis thcater, and reserved Ion the
use of ladies and their escorts. This circle
and the prosccnium boxes are throngcd
with ladies arraycd in every variety of at
tractiyc gnrb, and presenting 10 the eye q
bouquet Of color aud beauty suggesting
the idea that the convention below has
been garlandcd with crown OF springs
choicest flowers.
The personnel Of the convention il nota-
BILE Tor the appearance Of character, re-
speciality brains aud intelligence that
marks il. The members are we'll dressed,
fine looking, manly, earnest aud evidently
animated by an honest purpose
TO do what il best for their party with
out regard To their own interests.
The business is conducted with the ut
most dccorum aud demonstrates the wis
dom Of limiting representative bodies to ~
small number Of delegates asisconsistcnt
with fair representation. In contrast with
the late state convention at Nashville, the
Arkansas convention appears Ike an as
spmblagr Of clervymcn settling matter Of
church government or mootcd doctrine.
Your correspondent has never In an cx-
pcrienco of twenty ycan Of convention
reporting, seen ANYTHING that Tor dccoruus
and gcntlcmnnly conduct and lur business
like procedure equals this one. II may
safely be- said that not even IN legislative
bodies Is hotter order preserved than IA
the convention OF which I ana writing. II
Is matter Of which Arkansas may he
proud, aud an honor Ia American man
hood.
