Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-07-25


The New York Tribune takes a very
comprehensive view of the situation in
Ohio. Itsays: "OhiO Democrats seem
to be badly pressed for a candidate for
governor. The refusal of both General
Ewing and Senator Thurman to accept
the honor leaves the field open to less
prominent men, and at the same time
increases the Importance of the Liberal
convention which meets on the thirtieth
instant. Indeed, the most prominent
Democratic candidate now is Judge w.
B. Caldwell, a signer of the famous AL
len county resolutions calling the Liberal
convention. Another candidate is
Mayor Johnston, OF CINCINNATI

vote, pure and simple and straight-out,

Thus, it will be perceived that what

it did better without the Liberals than
with them. The amount of aid we have
derived from that source has not been as
great as that which has been repeIIed. |
