Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-08-04

The news from every part OF the State Is
most encouraging. As the canvass advances
the opposition to Bate "grows smaller by de-
grees and beautifully less" A correspond
ent from Paris, lem, writing to the Nash
vile World, says: "The Russell following is
growing smaller every day, and when. we are
favored with visit from General Bate it
will grow smaller more rapidly. They would
to-day probably control 200 votes in the
county, but will not poll the half of that in
November. Marx the prediction. General
Bate will get many votes as the other
three candidates. That is saying great
deal, but from reliable parties who have been
over about twenty counties 1 base the predic-
ton" A Columbia correspondent to the
same paper says: "Your correspondent in
terviewed many of the sovereigns from the
country without stumbling on q bolter.
Some of them seemed not to be
aware that any one else than
Bate was on the ticket for governor
They need to be cautioned against over
weening confidence, and were surprised to
hear there was much opposition to the regu-
lar Democratic nominee in Columbia, from
which infer that quite all the votes cast in
this county for the boilers candidate will be
cast in this precinct" The GAINESVILLE DEM
ocrat says: "a gentleman in this city makes
the following offer: 800 that Bate beats
RUSSELL in this county; 500 that Bate beats
Russell in the city of Clarksville; 500 tina;
Bate beats Russell in every district in the
county; 800 that Bate beats RUSSELL two to
one in the whole county. All the bets 10 90
together. Any FusseIlite who wants to back
his candidate can find the gentleman by call
ing at this Office" A letter to the World,
from DeKalb county, says: Colonel John
H. Savage addressed the people of DeKalb
county, at Alexandria, last Monday. After |
Colonel Savage had gotten through with |
his speech, General William B. Stokes |
made a speech and announced himself a |
candidate for the United States Senate. |
There are great many Good Templars and |
temperance sympathizers in DeKalb, but |
the temperance plank in the platform will I
fail to get their votes. General Bate will /
get nearly every Democratic vote in DeKalb /
county. / think would be safe in saying /
that Russell will not get twenty votes in the
county. The people of Senator Smallman's
district will send him back to the State Sem
ate" The following extract from letter
written at Knoxville will chow the weakness
of the boilers in East Tennessee: at is I'M
derstood here that the friends OF Mr.. RUSSELL
are making extensive calculations upon Sc
curing a large support in East Tennessee.
This came to the ears OF your correspondent
to-day, and hence 1 hasten to correct the
matter through your columns. If they
are depending upon this section of the
State for large or even respectable
vote they will find themselves vastly mis-
taken. Mr.. RUSSELL has no following at all
in East Tennessee. Upon this you and your
readers may confidently rely. 1 know ex-
actly what / am writing. Here in Knex-
vile, | suppose he will get from fifteen to
twenty votes-not much more. In the
city and county, and there is not a county
from Hamilton to johnson where he will |
receive ten votes in any one of the thirty |
three counties. have never known this sec
ton OF the State to be more solid upon any
candidate. Nor can all the money of the
boilers and all their influence, much or lit |
lie, change this state of things" We have
he same encouraging reports from every
section of the State. AS the issues are made
known and understood by the people, Cen
,ral Bate will grow stronger and RUSSELL
weaker. The contest is PROFESSIONALLY be-
tween Bate and Hawkins. The honest
masses already see that through the
veins of Hawkins and RUSSELL kindred SYM
oathies flow and throb. Indeed they are
he embodiment of ''two souls with single
thought, two hearts that beat as one" and
his sympathy has turned the affections of |
he people towards Bate, the gallant standard
bearer OF the Democracy. In every county
n the State the people are deserving the
'olters and iocking to the regular nominee
# the party. 1t is feared that the manifest
Of the people to elect Bate .
Eill have a tendency to force the withdrawal .
# RUSSELL, which would occasion much re-
ret, as most of his supporters in that event
you'd vote for Hawkins
