Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-04-12


WAsHINGToN, April IA special in the
New York Tribune to-day says: Senator
Sherman has rsturned to Washington. In
conversation with s friend the senator said
hat he would not be a candidate for the Re-
publicsn nomination for governor. He
thought that to nominate him at this time
would be unwis-, and he did not think he
could agree 10 be Il candidate even If the
nomination should be rendered him. While
the reasons which influence Senstor Sher-
msn'a mind in regard to this matter were
not disclosed by his friends, one of them was
probably fairly stated last night By Congress-
man Robinson, OF Ohio, to Tribune cores
pondent.
Gen. Robinson said: "Senator Sber an
cannot sford TO be candidate for governor
this year, nor can the Republicans afford TO
nominate him. Suppose that he should be
nominated and elected, and that a Demo
cratic N iority should bs elected 10 the
Legislature. The result would be that in
January next Two United States senators in
stead OF one would be chosen by that Lesis-
ls,ure, which would be equivalent to giving
the control Of the United States Senate to the
Democrats for the next TWO yesrs."
who will probably be the Republican
candidate for governor then"
"Thst would be very unssfe to predict.
One OF the most encouraging signs is the
complete uncertainty that exists as 10 can
didates. 1t shows that Republicans are de-
termlned to study the situation careful lily,
discuss and weigh all that can De sad for
and against every man whose name 10 pro-
posed, aud hually to name the strongest man
and 90 ahead and elect him. Several names
have already been meuliooed, among them
Foster, Butterworih, Mckinley and Law
renee. Many CT the country newspapers

Judge Lawrence, and he is known 10 be in
the field for nomination. In many respects
he would be strong candidate. He has
been long time 10 public life, is good
lawyer, and a man OF unbsmished character.
But the Republicans OF Ga 0 are not going TO
be captured by aay BOOM this year, and it
wouldn't he saie 70 predict the nomination
of Judge Lawrence or any other man. Gov.
Foster, have good reason to believe, does
moi das;rS to be candidate for reelection.
Mckinley would be very strong candidate
in my opinion. Maj. Butlerworth has good
many friends who would be glad 10 see him
nominated"
'Will the Rspublicsns carry the State this
year?"
"Yes, / believe we shall win. The Lsgis-
laiurs has passed resolutions referring the
liquor question 10 the people in the form of
two separate propositions to amend our Stale
conatltutton-one for prohibition and the
other to give the Legislature cortrol Of the
subject. l think the prohibition amend
menb may receive 350009 vote. 1 also
think there is fair prospect of the passage
Of the bill TO impose special tax on the
sale of malt and spirituous liquors, meas
ure which l fed the liquor men favor quite
generally. l am strongly in hopes, there
fore, that the liquor question will not hurt
us much in the coming campaign"
How do the people of Ohio like the new
tsriff?'
MANY Of them are very we'll satisfied, but
the wood'growsrs are very much dissatisfied
The only thiHg that will help the Republi-
cans with them is the f,ct that the Republi-
cans in Congress voted solidly against and
defeated the proposition brought forward by
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, which would have COM
pIetely slaughtered the wool-growiug in.
dustry Of the United States. There is also
| considerable dissatisfaction among the opera
tives in manufactures who are called on to
submit TO reduction of wages on account of
the reduction in the tariff. They hold the
Republican party responsible for the new
tariff, and clubs are being formed among
them already 10 oppose it on that account"
