Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-06-16

REPRESENTATIVES, Of the wool interest will
probably insist that colored man be put
upon the Tariff Commission.
II is reported that Colonel Ben King, late
candidate for governor of Mississippi on the
Independent ticket. is suffering from an at
tack OF dropsy of the heart.
LESS than twenty congressman are said to
understand the tariff. The truth ia, congress-
men are too busy surveying "fences" to pay
much attention to public matters.-Ne,C Ha-
rem Register.
SENATOR CAMERON has decided that the
| boldest way Is the best way TO fight the bat
| tie IN Pennsy lvania, and he will boldly
avow the so much condemned spoils system
as the true party policy. President Arthur
| believes in it.
THERE is no "moral obligation" resting

availability and of preference which inspires

LIKE Washington, jackson and Garfield,
| President Arthur is said to be stated and an
| unostentatious COMMUNICATE. The President,
his friends say, is a christian without ostenta-
| ton, churchman without bigotry or cant, and
a friend to the oppressed.
THE men in the Democratic party in the
South who can be induced by Office TO change
their political connections are not numerous;
their influence is not great; their fidelity 10
their flag is not likely to be stable, or, if Kept
stable, is likely to prove expensive.-NeO

This is big gubernatorisl year in the
Union. M0 Tlden is spoken OF for gov
ernor of New York; General Hancock, of
Pennsylvania; Mr.. Blaine, of Maine. and the
Hon. A. H. Stephens in Georgia. The last
is the most probable, and would, we believe,
be the most satisfactory.-Auguta Chronicle.
THE Hour, a New York paper devoted to
social interests, is determined to prove its
chosen mission by Wanting It's ignorance of
politics In descanting upon the Southern
hatred Of Republicanism, it says that even
General Malone would feel insulted were he
called Republican, and would probably
call his traducer out.
The Hancock "boom" for governor will be
short-lived. The general was fine soldier,
and his personal character Is beyond re-
proach, but his woeful lack of craftsmanship
qualities was made so painfully apparent in
the late presidential campaign that he may
confidently be expected never TO appear
again as a candidate for high civil Office

The Baltimore Journal Of Commerce con-
tinues to call attention to the large profits
of Southern manufacturers. The Augusta
Georgia. Cotton Factory has paid an aver
age of fourteen and half per cent. divi-
dends for seventeen years, and several mills
have recently paid profits Of twenty to fifty
per cent. This ought to silence the tariff
croakers at the South.
COLONEL CANADAY, who was beaten last
year by Mr.. Shackelford, is early in the field
this season. The congressional convention |
Tor the Third district has selected him for
their standard bearer, and he will carry it to |
defeat quite as surely as he did before. The |
man to'leave him behind in the race, will be |
nominated at Warsaw on the 10th of July

THE latest Republican doctrine is that a |
majority in the House of Representatives |
can do whatever it pleases without regard to
the rules of the House. That is the doctrine
of Arab Bey, the lawless swashbuckler of |
Egypt. He follows the came line OF argu- /
ment and, like Keller, claims that his word
is the law of the Chamber of Notables.-

JUDGE FIELD and vile have gone to Cali
fornia, and may visit Japan. The judge
has professional business on the Pacific
coast. Just before leaving Washington he
was asked to indicate the probable Demo-
cratic candidates for the presidency. He
mentioned the names of Bayard Mcdonald,
Hancock and Morrison. He himself has
no disposition to enter the race.
THE present attitude of the labor organi-
cations OF the country commands the respect
of all parties and all interests, and as long as
it shall maintain Its freedom from the CO n
troll OF dsmagogues, it will accomplish gre at
practical good for labor; but the day it en-
ters the political field, must be the beginning
of the end of its beni6cent work.-PhitGdet-

The Ripley (Tenn) Ne,os, of a recent date,
says: "Simonton seems to be the coming man
for Congress from the Tenth. The Ninth
gives him up with sincere regret. He made
US an able faithful and intelligent represen-
tative for two terms, and would no doubt
have been elected again had the district
remained as before. Our friends in the
Tenth could not find better man to succeed
the blatant and bombastic Moore"
THE Star-route ringsters are in ecstacy
because it is claimed the government has
not made case against them. Certain it is
that thus far the case has been a weak one
at best 1t would be interesting to outsiders
to know whether this is due to the fact that
these men have been "more sinned against
than sinning," or whether too much OF the |
evidence is of the "My dear Hubbell" char
scter that makes it ipjudicious to put it in I
CONGRESSMAN REAGAN is considered by
many Democrats in Texas TO be good can
didate for the party to nominate for gov
ernor. 1t is thought that he would accept, :
as he has been in Congress SO long that any
further reflections to that position would be
no additional honor TO HIM. Congressman !
Culberson and Mills are also spoken of in
with the gubernatorial nomina-
lion, but they are supposed to prefer re-
to Congress.
Mr.. ZENAs PERRY MOODY, the governor
elect of Oregon, is native of CRANKY,
Hampshire county, Mass, son of the late
Major Thomas III. Moody, and is about fifty
years old. He was living at Chicopee when

ous important public offices in his adopted

THE Democracy is the party of the people. q
