Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-09-22

Evidence of the growing weakness OF tbs
boilers accumulates every day. The boil
tiers see their fate staring them in the face, anC
knowing that defeat is inevita bic they seeI
to revenge themselves by finding fault will
everything done by the regularly organized
Democracy. 1t has been the custom of the
Democratic party in this and other States for
district conventions assembled 10 nominate
a candidate for Congress to indorse the ac-
tion of the State conventions, and 10 pledge
a cordial support to the nominee for
governor. Without such cooperation no
party can make common cause against the
common enemy, and party organization
would be nothing but a conglomerate mass
of irreconcilable incongruities. The boilers
have repudiated the platform and the ilomi-
nee of che regularly organized party as
sembled in State Convention. They de-
fed the expressed will of the majority by
boiling and making a nomination of their
own, and now they invoke harmony and
protest that a 6rebrand was thrown INTO
the Convention on Wednesday last by the
adoption OF the resolution indorsing the ac-
ton of the State Democracy at Nashville on
in the interest OF the Republicans Most of
them avow that they prefer the election OF
Hawkins to that of Bate. They have raised
the banner of revolt. In and out of their
conventions they express themselves for
Russell, their candidate, and his platform,
and hey should not complain when the regu-
lar Dem ocrats indorse their candidate and
platform. From the start the boilers have
shown a determination not 10 be conciliated.
Their desertion was causeless and inexcusa-
BILE, and it is not surprising that they should
stigmatize everything as irebrand which
proposes to unite the party on Bate, and !
thereby defeat their purpose to elect Hawk |
ins. Parties will assume strange attitude |
when district convention dares not indorse |
the action of 3 State convention whose plat |
form and candidate it unanimously APP |
OF Shelby county, assembled to nominate /
county candidates, had the courage to in
dorse Bate and the platform on which he
stands, and il the District Convention, on
Wednesday last, had cowardly skulked the
issue forced upon it and the party, it would
have been concession which, while gaining
no votes, would have been evidence of fear
and weakness. The true and reliable De-
mocracy of Tennessee are impregnable
IN the position they occupy. and they
do not fear to emblazon their plat
form and their candidate upon their
banners, whether unfurled in a State,
district or county convention. As the bolt
ers grow weaker the more they object to
the proceedings of the majority against
whom they have arrayed themselves. They
could not awe the regular Democracy into
submission by the harmless buster with
which they inaugurated a contest intended
TO secure the election of Hawkins, and now
that they have dwindled down 10 misera-
bic little faction, no one attaches the
least Importance to their fault-fnding.
The Democracy of Tennessee have resolved
on electing William B. Bate governor
Of the State, and the tremendous out
pouring of the people 10 hear his manly
defense of their rights should create =
/ vague sensation in the sluggish brain !
Of the most stupid boiler that Russell
will be buried beneath an overwhelming
majority. The great depth of the Democratic
leart has been stirred in every part of the
'tase. The chattering magpies will soon be
ushed into silence. The grand demonstra- r
ions of the people Of East Tennessee, where
yer General Bate has made his appearance, 4
re frsIghted with significance, and he who at
ais late date of the canvass fails to get some
limpse as TO its purpose and its meaning !.
sed never hope to understand the nature of :
e people. Our standard-bearer will soon :,
, in West Tennessee, and he will be greeted
it'll the majestic power Of the people who
re at his back in defense of their cause and "a
warning upon the Republican candidate DC
r governor. The people are wearied, sad pa
med and sickened at The repeated discussion tic
the State debt, and they have united in to
rand determination to settle it finally and tri
reVer. This can only be done by electing tri
ate and an observance of the Democratic tn
