Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-06-28

OF course it is well known that was anxious
TO see Gen. DHrbin Ward nominated. This
was largely because felt that uuselfsh and
heroic Democrat was entitled to the honor
aud the reward implied BY a nomination for
Governor by the Onio Democracy in 1888.
For, mark you, the nomination lie equivalent
10 an election"
E-Do you think SOP"
81 haveb't the slightest doubt of il" said
the Senator, and he emph aslzsd his remarks
by striking his hickory cane violently ou the
ground. The mere personality Of the can
didates amounts 10 but little in the cam
paign. 1t is the Democratic party that lie

do you regard Mr.. Hoadly as the strong
est candidate that could have been namedf"
Frankly, no; but he is not weak because
the Democratic party is strong. BY heavens,
sir, when you look at the hish-handed rob-
bers among the Republican leaders and see
them vindicated and serena AIDED by the resi-
duary legatees of their criminal conspir acies,
and reflect that nothing stands between the
people and the absolute spolistion Of the
government but the D-mosr tic party, il is
easy to understand why that psrty has be-

that is mel her here nor there. A party is
only successful when il is stronger than liz
leaders. The acquittal OF the Siar-route
conspirators has driven thousands of honest
Republicans into the Democratic ranks, and
the accessions will continue. You can say
10 the World that l ard the State ticket
put in nomin ,tion on Thursday as a strong
one, and that there can hardly be a doubt
about It's eltcl on.

The Tariff the Question OF the Hour.
The New York Herald comments as fo.-
lows on the tariff plank in the platform of
the Ohio Democracy: There is not friend
Of tariff or tax reform in Ohio, or in the
country, but car. stand on that. It has the
| merit that ia so plainly and clearly worded
as 10 make it i'm possible, without gross mig-
representation, for the Republicans TO rsise
| their cry of free trade against it. The Re
| publican demand has been formulated by
Mr.. Mckinley, Of Oaio, as for q tariff for
protection with inc dental revenue The
Democratic tariff plank is plain answer
| 10 that impudent proposition. The tariff is
| TO BE- for revenue,' say the Democr ate, and
| the revenue drawn from it IL TO be limited to
| the necessities OF the government tconomi-
| cally administered That strikes at the huge
surplus revenue which the R publicans have
| insisted on forcing from the pockets of the
| taxpayers ouly to waste 1t on Jobs. The
| tariff is to be 80 adjusted IN its ap-
| plicalion 'as to prevent unequal bur-
dens,' which cannot be done without
general and careful revision, for
it is now full OF the bsldest determination in
favor of monopolisl c. pitalists at the expense
Of the great body OF the people. Ii is to EN-

Gus to the general interest, least accommo'

vantsgeous TO the great body of the people
who live by honest labor, could not easily be
better described than in this Democratic plat
form. Ex-Spesker K4ifer, in conversation

the tariff will be fully discussed in Ohio this
summer and fsil. There can no longer be
