RUIN SEEING
The Republican Party, and Certain De-
structiOn Waiting Upon its Fune-
real Banners.
RumOrs in the Air-The Greenbaekers
and WOrkingmen Still Away
From the Fold.

The Republican schemers are utterly de-
| noralized and know not which way to turn.
| They nave staia up late o. nights, they have
| allowed much beer TO permeate their frames,
they have hung about the various saloons IN
| hope that some relief to their souls would
come. The contrast between them and the
Democrats has been very marked. With
the latter there has been all along tendency
10 merge individual aspirations into the sue
ess OF the party. How has it been with the
Republicans? Disgraceful squabbles and
vituperation have characterized them
throughout. The two wings have been bit
terly opposed to each other.
A SPICY INTERVIEW.
Yesterday an APPEAL reporter met Low
taxer and the conversation that ensued Is
probsbly worth transcribiDg.
'Do you expect 10 pull through" asked
The scribe.
Certainly we do. We have a better show
than ever now"
'EHow do you make that out"
swell, most OF the High-tax Republicans
will vote for us anyhow. You see they have
become SO demoralized that they haven't
any well-defued ticket. The former can
didates are thoroughly disguised, and don't
know whether they afe TO be expected to
run or not. They entered the race with
some enthusiasm, but owing to the way they
have been showed under they have Lost all
interest. They see that there is no hope for
them, and nearly all of them will support
our ticket"
ONLY SEVEN.
"How about the Greenbackers"
"Oh we don't mind them. They blow a
great deal, but never amount TO anything.
They were going to do wonders in the last
election ior these Offices but they were
rather a hindrance than otherwise. There
are only seven men in the party. I'VE are
seven is their MOTTO"
"What OF the Workingmen?n
"TheY never did cooperate with Us, and
see any special reason why they should have
a recognition from us.-ThsF- eietn to be
non-polilical organization, and there is no
more sense in putting one OF their men on
our ticket than there would be in choosing a
man because he is Methodist or Catholic
l tell you We are booked 10 win. We will
show all of them that We can get along
without Them"
HIGH-TAX DECENTRALIZATION.
The reporter looked around to get the
views of High-tax Radical, but owing to
the inclemency of the weather he could not
find one Of that ilk. His wing is utterly
broken up. There is no platform, no lis: Of
candidates, nothing 10 cling to for him. Hope
is dead and politics seems to him but an idle
dream. He is shIpwrecked without a rud-
der, alone on the wide, wide sea, or as Coler-
idge puts it about the ancient mariner:
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck; nor breath nor motion,
AS idle as painted ship
Upon painted ocean"
BUSY BEES.
There were several Publications yesterday.
At McConnel's q large barbecue was held
The colored voters had barbecue at Bart
lett, TO which a crowded train of Memphis
colored men went. Gen. Vaughan went to
Egypt in the Sixth civil district to see how
Alexandria is getting along. Mr.. Jos. Uhl,
Colonel Du Bose, Esquire Winters and flute
took drag and went to McConnelI's and
Bartlett.
SHEA REJOICES.
John Shea was giving the results of what
the wings of the Republican party were to
determine on last Tuesday. He started on
an electloneering tour. out the Pigeon-Roost
road on the Monday previous. The first
stop he made was at Ford's postofice, about
four miles cut. where be met Walter Dunn,
Ed Carroll, Tony Casarretta, Judge Henry |
Strickland and Alenzo Hannah, five citizens |
who are for the Democratic ticket from top |
10 bottom. Mr.. Shea, with much enthusiasm, |
announced 10 these gentlemen the cut-and- |
dried result of the meeting OF the High and |
-isx-wings- of his party. The boys |
imited with him, and John went his way |
unconscious of the total severance OF his |
party.
