county there should be based on the
gubernatorial vote of 1894, and vo-
ted for a resolution recommending
this as basis for congressional con-
ventions.
The first named basis would make
the representation of Shelby county
largely in the minority, and the last
would entitle her to an equal mum.
Der of delegates with the other three
counties. The question might well
be asked why was this position ia
ken at Nashville receded from IN
the recommendation?
The answer would probably be
that the effort made in Nashville to
belittle and degrade Shelby county
had gone too far, and a wholesome
knowledge that Shelby has certain
rights, which she claims to be nei-
Their more nor less than her due,
and which she proposes to maintain.
In this conn ection, without dispar-
agement to the other counties com
posing the Tenth Congressional Dis
trict, it is not improper in the in
terest of fair dealing, to give some
figures taken from the last Federal
census of 1890, in regard to the pop
ulation of the respective counties.
Shelby in 1890 had a population of
112, TAO; Upton, "a, 27I; Fayette,
28,878, and Hardeman, 81, O29.
1t will be seen therefore that
Shelby has 38, 572 more population
than the other three counties com
blned.
When Capt. McNeal made his
remarkable statement, was he con-
scious of this fact, or did he have a
full knowledge of Shelby's numeri-
cal strength? Did the minority
committee fully appreciate the con-
dltions surrounding it, or was their
action part of preconceived plan
to disrupt the democracy at the ex-
pense OF the right?
Was the fling at Shelby made for
the purpose of arraying the other
counties against her? If so, 1t will |
fail in its purpose, for in the dark
time, when white supremacy was
threatened, Shelby was always
ready to aid and encourage her
neighbors, and the brave men of
Fayette who were democrats when
the term democracy stood for home
and fireside, will testify that they
never turned in vain to Shelby.
Hardeman and Upton have not
forgotten the past and the ties which
bind them to Shelby will not and
cannot be broken by disorganizers.
We leave it to the loyal men of
Fayette, Upton and Hardeman to
say if the common good is not of
the Importance, and if personal and
political ties shall thus be broken
and destroyed, in order that one
faction may have an advantage over
the other
We implore for party harmony
and forbearance, for a common
cause against a common enemy.
We must stand together for democ-
racy, State and national, and for
this purpose and to this end, let
unity of action prevail.
Believing that our conduct is in
;onsonance with these sentiments,
of the rectitude of our
motives, we leave the question of
difference to the impartial iudg-
nent of the democracy.
