Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-11-04
Porter, Casey Young and the
Whole Democratic Ticket
Elected by Good Working
MsjOrities.
Shelby County Sends Greeting to
All Other Counties In the
State, and Memphis Leads
the Democratic Host.


Zens, and after that leave the voting
precincts to the professional electioneers,
the challengers, the judges, the sherifis
and the clerks. Business was very gen
orally suspended, and the weather being
"the best in the world" there was
strong turn out, though the vote was
not as full as that given in August, the
majority of Young, for congress, over
Barbour Lewis, the Radical can
didate being 269S, as compared with
37l9, the majority of Cambell, who ran
ahead of his ticket as candidate for clerk
of the second circuit court. In the
county, so far as we can learn, the vote
was in proportion to that OF the city,
and We are gratified to say, heavy
enough to elect our whole ticket by
handsome majority, and we may say
additionally that it is large enough
throughout the whole congressional dis
trict to elect Casey Young over Barbour
Lewis by a majority that ought 10 prove
to that gentleman and mis- party that the
presence of United States troops is not
so efficient as be would have it to be,
and that to a people who lived for years
In the presence of almost daily battle
they have no terroTs to inspire. The
vote for United States senator, which we
are now free TO say is a discred-
liable innovation upon party prsc-
tice, wholly without warrant, and
which very properly was not aequI- |
esced in by any Of the candidates for |
that office, so far as we know, resulted
In total vote OF only four 4, 740, whereas
the total vote cast for the candidates was |
8, go. or the number above, Ex-P resi-
dent johnson received4 1877 votes, show
ing plainly that so far So any Of his OPP
ponents were concerned they did not
cOuntensnce the unusual and unprece-
dented mode Of ascertaining the will Of
the people-a mode, that were it not for
the patriotic devotion Of many, might
have cost the Democracy the election.
From the first the APPEAL put itself on
the record against it, and was only pre-
vented from making its opposition to it
felt out of consideration for the party,
whose successes it has done so much
hard, square and ungrudged work to
achieve. We trust this is the last
time we shall have to point out
blunders and crimes against even
the c)mmonest Of common sense,
and that we shall not soon again
De asked to surrender ourselves and
jeOpardize the success OF our party for
the sake Of men who are a perpetual sore
upon the body polite, and who can only
be kept in the party traces by couces-
sioBs almost to the verge Of its ruin. To
these men the Democratic party of Shell
by county to-day owes nothing. They
did what they could by bEndly striking
at the Democratic administration of the !
State to ruin it, and introduced the vot-
ing for United States senator as a der
aier resort, to which, il the Democratic
executive committee of the county had o
not conceded st the right time, we i
should have had division and
disaster through the foreign vote, al
ways held as a rod over our heads by I
men who have no sympathies with it.
To the executive committee for their
and sensible policy much :
credit is due; to Mr.. NJ. J. Waldron,
chairman, in an especial sense, for had
t not been for his labors In this, as in
'ther particulars, defeat would have /
been our portion instead of victory. ?
This, however, we hope never to see re- h
,eated again. But, Notwithstanding, o
re "rejoice and are exceeding glad" !,
hat we are victorious in city, county, n
district and State, and that from all the
states that held elections yesterday
here cOmes-even from Massachusetts "

nd, let US hope, victory to be tenn OF

viii defend the constitution as it
lands with all its amendments k
nd protect all the people In their rights Of
lst as we have worked and lsbored to NJ
ecure the rights so long denied US by b,
