Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-12-23

There was never folly more sublime
than that Of Grants Representatives in
the United States senate. Suppose Mayor
johnson closed the c0mptroller's snd
treasurer's doors, and denied the people
access to these offices? Suppose he OBJ
jecsed, when bankers and reporters for
the press sought to learn the financial
condition Of the city? Suppose it was
suspected that he has thieves in his en-
Payment, and objected to thorough in
vestigstion at the hands Of the municipal
legislsture9 All would say that the
mayor was unworthy OF confidence; that
he had been cumming around at Long
Branch with Tweed snd Connolly and
Murphy and Tsmmsny, while his subor-
dlnstes everywhere were plundering the
people. Suppose he had been the recip.
lent of town lots and country farms,
and Of pretty villas at wstering-placss,
and that those who gave money and prop
erty we're clothed with honors and Office?
Would we not say that Mayor johnson is
a confessed rogue, and vote against him
Honest, good citizsns would concur in
this course Of sction. How, then, can the
honest people Of the country be induced
to support Grant? There must be foul
ness unuttersble In offices and depart
ments at Washington when shrewd men
like Oonkling and Morton, under execa-
tive inspiration, object 20 investlS stions
proposed by 7 umbuI. Grants cham
pions thus beoo e, in the eyes of honest
people, his most effective enemies, oven
a. would be Mayor Johnson's friends If
they sought to evsde inquiry into hig ofi-
cisl conduct.

and intensified by the tone of

A Convention of political temper

datssince and nominated 4 State Tick
ct. II is safe to conclude therefore,
that we are to have q campaign in
which the passions Of men are to be
inAamed, and more stringent sumptu
aryeIws enacted. The prosels ties are
to come chiefly from the Republican
party. The aim of the leaders of the
e prohibition party is to cripple the
Republican organization, and draw in
q few Democrats, and thereby force
the Republican party to step upon a
prohibition platform. Let not DEM
ocrats deceive themselves about the
new temperance movement. While
every Democrat acknowledges that a
proper restraint upon all habits touch
ing the morals and health of men, Is
right, yet it is equally true that force
violence and denunciation will not
stop or cure the evils of intemper-
ance.

Editorial Convention.

The Editorial Convention which met
in Akron, Ohio, last week, had a pleas
ant time. About seTenty-fiVe Edl-
tors were present, most Of whom were
accompanied by their wives. lie O.
ject of the Convention was to elevate
the standard of editorial courtesy, and
thus break down. the habit of dealing
in personalities, instead OF argument,
in newspaper controversies If this
plank could be successfully placed in
the platform Of the Association, it
would be one step in a true progress.
Beyond this suggestion, we fail to see
that the Convention accomplished any
thing worthy of note. 1t is true, the
parade of Firemen was seen, the Rink

lively dance participated in yet, q

The war has been exceedingly disas-
