Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-09-02

There is No attempt to direct the public |
mind from the war and its!consGqu
TO preparations for future that nature,
more kind than man, has gilded with
hope for US. Instead OF this we are
threatened with the usurpation OF gu
oernstcrial power in all the States by
.he United States msrshals, and with the
presence Of the whole Srmy Of the
United States, Notwithstanding Sitting
Bull Is still al large and Clusters mas
sscre is yet unavenged. This is the
style OF canvass to which the Republic
caRs are treating US. The bloody shirt
is nailed to the mast, the hard-earned
wages Of the poor department clerks is
srung from them by BIood-letting
Chandler, ard the laws are mis-
interpreted in order that Grant, for
dayes, may coerce the south into CIV
ing Ra 'ical msjoritieJ next November.
And yet this is a fra country, and we
are freepeople rel icing in a republican
form OF government Surely no ronger
cilden and Hendricks. Contrasting the
benefioent statesmanship OF our Presi-
Dental candidate with the want OF
craftsmanship evidenced by Grant, the
patriotism OF the one with the section
alism Of the other, it would seem as II
there was no room to question, even for
q moment, in what direction lies the
duty OF the voters Of every State in the
Union. The SUCCESS Of Republicsnism
means the perpetuation OF the policy of
hate and vengeance, the continuation OF
the sectionalism which has cursed US
already too lor g, while the success OF
Democracy means peace, brotherly love,
tho restoration of confidence. low taxes,
reduction of public expenditures and
the cementing together, never again to
b. brok an, OF the bonds Of the Union
sundered by civil war. The Re-
publicars represent all the bad
passions and unkindly feelings OF
the war, while the Democrats represent
the generous sentiment of the country,
which, turning its back upon the past,
looks forward to future that, If Tilden
is elected President, as we believe he
will be, will more than realize for US the
expectations and hopes of the mcss san
guine patriot. For these reasons we
continue to press upon the attention OF
all good men in this and the surrounding
States the urgent need for peace III but
united effort until election day is done.
The bsyonet rule and msrshals' usurpa
ton should be- met by the personal effort
of every Democrat to win voters-black
as well as white-to cause that prom.
i8s SO much. The State and district
electors should be aided and assisted ny
the personal labor Of intelligent cii-
zsns, who know the urgent Importance
of success on the seventh OF November.
Each precinct should be canvsssed, and
the names OF every voter favorable to
our cause and candidates be known;
neighborly feeling and good will should
De brought to bear upon the negroes, and
We should make it q special point to
win them to US, 30 that on the day of
election they will make tia special glory
to vote the Democratic ticket-for Til
den and Hendricks-in presence of the
bayonet authorities. This can be done,
and it must be. We must meet Chan
der, Grant and Hayes, and foil them
through an active, manly, kindly and
concillatory personal canvass. That is
our duty at the south.
