OF attention from abroad.
oPP0skG BOssIsM
From the Nashville Banner.
The newspapers Of Memphis have been com
mending Capt W. A. Collier of that city, as can
didate for delegate at large from Tennessee to the
Democratic national convention at st. Louis aud
Capt Golfers candidacy has been very favorably
regarded by many Democrats throughout the
State. II happens, however that Capt. Collier IS
not warm supporter of senator Harris aud does
no. my2r INC return TO the senate o. one whose whose
cup OF ambition was OycrIlled IN lhHi
and who voluntarily promised he would
never again ak for office The report Is
nov current 10 Memphis that senator Harris Us
nhd MS personal supporter have determined TO
oppose Capt Collier and prevent II possible, his
election az delegate to the st. Louis convention.
Inc hrdonehe referring 70 this report says thal
rs true IA steel 10 party and principle, would
mean bosslsm Of the most impudent klnd-dicla
ton which the rank and file Of the party, espe
with vengeance" TnE APPEAL says that Capt
Collier, fortified by the conviction that Demo
cfas believe In fair play will be entirely willing TO
meet the issue which the friends Of senator Harris
are reported 10 have made" aud adds:
III II has To come 10 pass that the political for
tunes OF every Democrat In the state are bound up
IN the purposes OF Senator Harris, and that man
may not even aspire 10 a position which has no
conceivable relation 10 their senator's political
fortunes then the time has come Tor somebody TO
challenge domination that asserts itself IN ~ IN
tolerable way, II would mean simply the tyranny
OF selfish boSsism, and this cannot be- endured
for moment Its neither at the shrine OF sena-
tor Harris nor ut that of the antiprohibitionisls
who assume TO punish Collier that the Democrats
OF Tennessee make their confessions OF faith.'
