Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-09-13

d Son made a very good display. On tn
awning was resting a large transparency
having on n side the following:
May the cotton cease to grow,
May the river cease TO flow,
May the sugar cease 20 yield
Until the Dem ~craey win the deld."
The other side also bore an inscription,
but 81 immense wave of living beings
swept us along too rapidly tomake further
notes. Next oame the well-kuown
clothing house of Robinson, Sneed q Co.,
which besides being decorated with lam
ters, bore a transparency inscribed with
the ame Of the peoples candidates and
underneath "Unity to a divided Nation.
Freedom to an oppressed people" Mem
ken Bros fine stor was resplendnt with
light, and upon one side Of q transpa-
rency we read the words, 1--WE
Grant no credit but want to
See-nnore cash.u Pooley & Barnum and
Wells & Coll, our friend Leidy, of the
Memphis Hat Company, Wallace &
Gibson, ]. @. Ward, J. T. Hamilton q
Co., Miss Perdue-in fact all the houses
in the block were bright as at midday.
Leubrie, the great cigar dealer, George
Bergman, who also disposes Of the weed
in every style, from finecut to the finest
Havana, were trying TO see how much
gas they could consume. CCrnnie, OF
the House that rack Built caused his
handsome little news depotto laugh with
glee az the gala dress assumed for the
occasion. Here there was a jump OF sew
ersl heuses, none of which were lit K
cept the agency of r. G.. Dunn & Co. and
the law office Of Brown & Lylss. Mans
field & Higbee had their fine,
large drug house open and hung with
lanterns, which enyeloped the
gas jets. The lee House, Clark's
Risk & Johnson, L. Rocco & Co., ]. @.
Holt & Co., Geo. Patterson & Co., and u.
Newburger IL Bro, were noticeable. The
dry good house of Rice, Silk & Co the
crockery house Of Lloyd, Clark q Co,
the dry goods house of Howell, Wood q
Co., and the house of Geo. ii. Blood q
Co., were very attractive In their dis
play. AT Mrs. M. l.. RodneIs several
flags were extended over the sidewalk.
J. 5. Leavett & Co., OF the well known
shoe house, had their handsome front
finely and tastefnIIy set off. The FASH
ion saloon WED with its neighbors in the
way of light. Moores, Smith q Co, J
W. VOegeli, TObin, Lynn & Co, g. w,
Falls & Co, and the Southern Hotel,
were very finely Illuminated. Here we
left Main street and pursued our way
to Shelby street, where we found the bu5-
mess houses of Mr.. 0uld, Mrs. Kelley,
John Noni, Mrs. Yaeger and Thos.
Shendan, dressed sll out in light. +. d
c. Heckle & Co, the RisltO, G. a. Eek
erly, ]. Trabucco, L. Bertoletti, the Shell
by House, GreeRtree House and Moore q
Whitfield, were all finely lighted up.
On Front street at the late hour we
reached it, the houses OF A. Vaccaro q
Co., Sutton & Mann, OrgiL, Bros. & Co.,
Clarke, Ely & Co, EdmOnds q Todd, h.
Brannon, L. L. Martin and o. A. kTaus,
were shedding forth rsys of light. Many
who had lighted up very early
in the evening We omit, owing 10
the lateness of the hour. On How
Row, BsDksmith Humphrey
& Co. were effulgent. Ga the
running from the river We noticed
many very fine displays. The st. Cloud
Hotel, on Union stteet; the Central and
GoodAll houses, on Adams street, the
Grey Eagle Restaurant, Bond q Jones
and J. Specht, on Madison street, and
the Empire Saloon, No. is, Jefferson
are all worthy Of especial men
ton. On Second street we can only call
to mind the Lehner house, the cotton
house OF FOwlke d Stetfsy, and the Dan
cling Academy of Mad. Leise, as having
otblI dCGcu W hItClLlyhs Y NV
oes without number were illuminated,
and We'd with the more pretentious
buildings on our prominent streets, in
the halo which they threw out amid the
darkness of the night, but We must omit
notice of them. We, however, would do
injustice were we not to mention the
residences Of Mr.. George l.. Grayser,
on the corner of Second and Market,
and that Of Col. A. II. Douglas, on
Shelby street, which were cheered vo-
ciferously by the procession.
The nj wsp8par offices were abiaZe
with light, but by far the most elaborate
display was made by the APPEAL, which,
IN connection with rockets, Roman csn-
dies and blue lights, Illuminated win
jOws. and the star spangied banner, ETC.,
had 5 large transparency inscribed with
the names of Seymour and Blair upon
the roof of the composing room.
ON THE BLUFF.
The head of the immense crowd ar
rived at the speakers stand, upon the
bluff, while the end of the procession had
yet some three miles TO march. Those
who felt so disposed, awaited to hear the
speeches which were expected, but by
far the greater number retired to their
homes, feeling that words, no matter
how eloquent, facts, no matter how
elegantly clothed, or however potent,
could WELD the same force or produce the
effect which the %outpouring Of the people
must have had upon those in our midst
who would keep US in subsection and de-
prive US of those rights which are, in all
the civilized world, conceded to be ina
lienable. Thinking ourselves that OF an
,.css,on sueh as the a last night,
speeches were out of place-were rather
an sfflIction than otherwise, we omit any
mention of them.
INCIDENTS.
The only lamentsble incident con-
nected with the turnout last evening was
the malicious shooting of q member Of
the 9Th Ward Club, as that body was
marching to the rendezvous. The shoot.
Ing was without provocaticn, and was
done by a black or white Radical stand
ing on the sidewalk near the corner OF
Fifth and Mill streets. The wounded man
was shot in the right side, bat 1t is hoped
the wound will not prove mortal.
