Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-10-06

ssidItb collection to the name OF Sam Jones
was a very powerful and statesmaplike objec-
ton, and a man certainly ought to be elected
TO congress who could conceive such an srgu-
ment; that he had no douOt but as soon as
M. Tlden learned that his name was objec-
uoL able to the distinguished gentleman, he
would have II reformed, but that he did not
believe he would be very likely to swap Sam
for John nor Jones for Lynch-it sounds too
much like chinch. Laughter He said he
did not care whether Mr.. Tioen favored or
opposed the rebellion or what Mr.. Hendricks
views might have been about the constitu
llOnal amendments befo they were adopted;
that tn Sc subjects belonged TO the past, ana
d. hot concern US now; As 70 ne

self That one nf the onlT two white men N
Adsins county who su pport Mr.. Lynch is J. =.
Montgomery, the school superintendent, who
Is now under bonds to answer the charge OF
swindling colored schOol-mlstress out OF her
scnOOl warrants, and yet Lynch eat walked
and talked, and, no doubt, slept with his 1asJ
friend, ]. :, Montgomery. He then took up
Hayes and said what Lynch regarded as MS
cuief recomr1endatioh, that he belonged 10
The Republican party, was to him his chief
objection. He then entered into scathlng
republican party, which we did not tSKe
down. He ridiculed the idea Of the Repueli-
can Irtyy reforming Itself by changing lead
efs. He said tnat old wome II who raise chick
ems had better s5nse Lhsn this; tn at when one
hen sat upon the eggs until they are rotten, q
fresh hen put upon the ~ st would not purify
the eggs or make them hatch, ana the fresh
hen would only be infected by The rottenness
under her; that you must clean out the whole
nest, and not ot'Iy puJon q fresh ben, but put
fresh eggs under her. AS to the claim that
Mr.. Hayes and the Republican party had set
the negroes fl zee, he said tn this was fa!se
pretense; that the fight between the north
and the south grew out of contest over the
Territories, and that Mr.. Lincoln time and
again offered to let slavery In the states alone
that The freedom OF the slaves was
more due to the stubbornness OF
The sou'h than any good intentions
of the north. If Mr.. Lynch vas right in say
ing that 1ilden and the copperhead5 brought
on the war, and the war brought emanclpa-
ton, then 1ilden is entitled to the gratitude of
the slaves. But he said enamel patton was the
act of God, and not OF man. He drew paral.
lei between the slavery of the negro and the
children Of Israel, and said as "God had
hardened the heart of PharOah" so he hard
aned the heart of the south and made her
fight on, when her surrender would have pei
2etuaCed ES slavery; As 10 the claim tnat the
showed from Mr.. Gynch's own speech in con
gre mat the enfranchisement OF the colored
necessity as from choice;" 1t was dOne to per-
petuate Radical power and keep down the
rebels of the south; that it was from no love
for the negro. and the Radicals were entitled
to no gratitude from them for 1t. After answer
ing all of Mr.Lynch's arguments, ne went on to
aSsaIl the Republican party and Mr.. Lynch
about the Freedmans savings bank, and
show. d that Lynch had never opened his
mouth once in congress to condemn this great
swindle upon his Iace. As to the statement
that be could get no aid for the levee, he said
1t was clear Mr.. Lynch would not, bee Iuse he
had been in a Republican congress and
Democratic congress, and had done nothing
IN either for the levee. As to the statement
that the whole north was against the south
because the sou; h was solid for Democracy,
he said that this would not de for an excuse
from sir. Lynch In getting no appropriat ons
for the levee; that in the days OF carpetbag
rule the south had en- Slmost solid for Radi-
calism, and we got no help from them tnen.
He related numerous instances of the swim
ding of negroes by the carpetbaggers, and ap.
pealed to the negro to cut loose from such a
corrupt party He illustrated mis- speech
Oy many appropriate anec loIes, and
carried off the crowd.
| do not pretend to give his language, for l
doubt if any short hand writer could have
kept up with his rapid and eloquent words,
and L e closed amid loud shouts of applause.
Mr.. Lynch r-joined for half an hour, and
Geaeral Chalmers replied in fifteen minutes.
The sparriug in rel Oinders was sharp on both
sides. Mr.. Lynch displayed more ia ent In
this than in his main speech, but Gene al
Chalmers came at him again In splendid
s'yle, and came Off the undoubted victor OF
the day. 1t was q glorious victory, and the
Democracy are all happy. You can count
Coahoma safe for Chalmers. W.D. s.
