Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-11-24

1HE Star-Toute proceedings seem W i'
themselves into an inquiry into the causes Oh
the failure of the FIRST trial. The inveshga-
lion is interesting, and may be important
bat it is much more 10 the purPosei to push
on TO a second trial and secure conviction
of the thieves.
WEsrRRE advices state that Senator Van
Wick will act with the Democrats IN the
Senate next time, and that he will probably
have Democratic colleague in the place Oh
Saunders. This may make Mr.. Gorham
feel a little uneasy about the office oil secTe-
tary of the Senate.
IT has been suggested that means may De
Iaken by the Forty-eighth Congress 10 re-
duce taxes 10 a point where there Will De no
surplus revenue to redeem the bonds Win.
This policy would imply permanent ma
tional debt-a policy which the people would
not and ought not TO tolerate.
GoyERNoR-ELECT PA1TIsoS, OF PenHsyl-
yauis. wants a quiet and undemonstratiVe
Inauguration. Perhaps be will initiate the
example Of Jefferson: Ride up to-the capitol
of the State on horseback, hitch his own
horse, mount the steps, take the oath, and
ride away again without fuss and ceremony.
The entire vote of Tennessee, according
to the census, is about 100000, OF which
243OOO were cas-; in 1880. At the recent
election the vote of the State was about
100000. of which Mr.. Hawkins gets about
10000, Gen. Bate about 10000, Mr. Fusseil
between 1900 and 5000, and Mr.. Bsssley
about 10000.
THE recent senatorial elections in Georgia
are still commanding great deal OF atten-
ton, owing 10 the fact that the friends OF
Mr.. Hill, who was defeated for the unex-
pired term OF his father, the late Senator B.
H. Hill, by the Hon. Pope Barrow, are dis
posed to believe that Senator-elect Colquitt
sold him out by trading for sufficient num-
Der of votes TO secure his own election.
THERE is the greatest anxiety among the
ofhceholders in Washington to find some
body to run for president in 1888. The
Democrats generally think the Republicans
are going to nominate Gen. Sherman. 1t is
barely possible that Sherman thinks SO too,
for he had a great reception in Washington
on Tuesday, and undoubtedly lie has in
dulged in the same hope for some years back
that he might be a presidential possibility.
The prohibitionists of Vermont have been
urging the enactment of law which would
confer upon officers authority, at their own
discretion and without warrant, to enter
auyone's premises in search of liquor sup
posed TO be concealed thereon, and to destroy
the liquor if any be found. This meddle-
someness naturally springs from the theory
that one may legislate for his neighbours
stomach and make inquisition as 10 his re-
lgious belief.
REPORTS from Washington are to the Ell
feet that the auditing offices of the treasury
have declined to approve many of the bills
incurred by the Tariff Commission, and that
scandal is imminent. it is more than
limited that the investigators have not con-
ined their labors altogether TO questions of
tariff or free trade, but have investigated
champagne and costly cigars in SO lavish
style that their expenditures long ago ate up
the congressional appropriation.
GEN. WALKER, suggested in a mole from Mr..
G. F. Adams, jr., to the Springfield Republican,
as a suitable person 10 succeed Mr.. Hoar,
writes to the Sunday Herald, of Boston, that
not only does he desire no political Office
L.. =. L
wholly and heartily in favor of
the reelection of Mr.. Hoar as able, up
right and courageous senator, such as it is
the good fashion of Massachusetts TO retain
in Office, that honor and influence may in
crease with length of service"
The New York Etsaing Post says that
"Hubbell is buried in the forests OF Michi-
gan. One member of the committee. who
has been trying TO find out something, says
that in this State more than half the coun-
ties were given neither money nor advice
Several thousand dollars were spent on lith-
ographic pictures of candidates, not inelud-
ing those of Mr.. Howard Carroll, which
were not circulated, leaving the votera in
ignorance OF his majestic countenance."
The Republicans seem 10 have liking
for patent medicine men. DIR. r. Y. Pierce,
Of pheasant Purgative Pellets" fame, repre-
sented the grand old party for several terms
in Congress- and now DIR. J. H. Mclean, the
distinguished propagation of vegetable Yer
nifuge," is sent to Congress BY the Republic
,ans of St. Louis. Perhaps, however, the
presence Of party of physicians is consid-
,red advantageous in tine present debilitsted
coalition of congressional Repu blicanism.
The Boston Advertiser Gays that eff the
Democrats remain true to their recent,
hough not to their older, traditions, they
will embrace this opportunity 10 kill off the
,ational banks, or allow them to be killed,
% far as their note issues are concerned, by
he progress of events, aud to substitute
,reenbacks in place of them. The Republic
IAN party will oppose tine latter step upon
grounds of impracticability and uncon-
and if both parties stand firm,
here will be deadlock resulting in con-
raction." The Advertiser can keep his shirt |
in. The Democrats are not going TO play |
he blank, blank, blankety blank, blank fool |
,ver the financial question and lose the pree-
dency.

CONGRESSMAN ROBINSON, of Msssachu- |
etts, says Buffers election is TO be credited |
ntirely 10 "the desire upon the part of the !
republicans to rebuke bosssn; not that hey |
ave bosses in Massachusetts,, but the party |
