Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-07-13

to urge them to take immediate action.
It is due their constituents, particularly
the people Of the west. With that
clause interpreted by ihe unCquivocsl
act Of the house, there remains nothing
IN the platform that admits Of two con-
structions. / think they will repeal the
RESUMPTION clause in the blouse this
weak, and throw 1t into the senate
which will then have to bear the TesPon-
bility Of its defeat, as well as the re-
suonsibility of non. concurrence IL the
houses retrenchment bill, and conse-
uuent deadlock, giving the Democracy
two most valuable aids in the ISL cleo
tinus. The people will sustain the
bCuse's action in both respects.
7. is unfortunate that Mr.. DOrsheimer
accepted General Ewing's Interpretation
OF the financial plank and drew an issue
on a reading that the plank itself did not
admit Of, but the repeal by the Demo
cratic house OF the resumption clause
will settle all THE. We will go before
the people with declaration Of princi-
pies that cannot be mistaken. 1t Is bold,
clear and aggressive-free trade, free
schools, home rule, absolute settlement
of all war Issues by the result OF the war,
return to peace basis and national legis-
luton, and removal o. all artificial OBJ
stacles to resumption Of specie payment
in one word, reform. Governor Ill
den did not write the platform.
Au this, in addition to to what he has
already said, by way Of Endorsement OF
the nomination, proves the strength and
manhood Of our candidate for the Vice.
Presidency, proves him worthy the con-
fdence reposed in him by the party OF
which he is SO distinguished a leader.
What he says is q fair offset to the
srum dissatisfaction expressed by Gov
ernor Allen, q dissatisfaction that ap'
pears all the more naked and bare since
the Democrats of Ohio, through their
committee, have made adequate pre-
vision for the conduct Of the canvass
with spirit and enthusiasm, as the fol-
lowing will show:
COLUMBUS, o., July S.-A meeting OF
the Democratic State central committee
was held at Thurman hall in this city
"a. day, A resolution was adopted in
structipg the executive committee to
prepare for an aggressive campaign to
be begun next month, and to perfect
local organizations throughout the State.
The committee recommended the i'm
mediate organization in every neighbor'
hood of Tilden and Hendricks reform
clubs, 1t was suggested that the con-
gressiousl and local nominations be
made as early as the fifteenth OF August
| General Morgan and other promlnen,
Democrats were present, and all orough
encouraging reports, and expressed tEe
| belief that in the proper work and or
| ganiZation and vigorous campaign tht
| prospects for success had not been 81
fiattering at the beginning Of any cam
paign for ten years.
EIWith this before US, we can afford t.
release Governor Allen from any obi
cations he is under to the party, enc
scuuiesce in the Tetiracy he covets. Al
additional reason for advising that tn
venerable old gentleman "who hs
done the State some service" be al
lowed to 60 in peace, comes to us in tn
New York Sun, which reminds US tina
If we have not Hancock and Adams, q
was once proposed, for a Democrat
ticket for this centennial year, We hav
a Hancock and Adams among the sup
porters OF Governor Tilden SIS the Demo
cratic nominee. General Hancock, tn
foremost of the name since old job
Hancock of the revolution, will lea
the Tildea men in Pennsylvania. L
fact, we do not know why his cords
letter of congratulation to Governo
TiIden, Sc becoming, considerln
that he was a rival candidate fC
the nomination, has been so Ion
withheld from publication. Charlie
Francis Adams, the son Of John Quinc
and grandson of old John, heads tn
Tilden supporters in Massachusetts
Thus names fragrant with revolution
airy "reminiscences are found enrOlle
among those concerned in securing
the nation pure administration at tt
beginning Of its second century.
