Southern man of high character, and
whose public career is known in the
North, would strengthen the Democratic
ticket" This would he so beyond ques-

and u~nprejudicsd; but when there is a
considerable percentage of voters who, in
all national contests, fight The war over,
either from prejudice or h densest ig-
norance, the case is altered. This per-
centaye is growing beautifully less, and in
a few years il may cease to be a factor in
our politics. Its existence at present
should not. however, be d~isregarded. The
very fact that the Herald suggests that q
candidate for Vice-Pnasident be selected
from the South shows that the old pref

Mckenzie TENN Neus: The Memphis
APPEAL is leading off in Il movement to
divide the Presidential ticket of 1884 be-
tween the North and the South, giving
the South the Vicc-Presidency. Some of
the leading papers OF the South are oppos-
ing it for fear OF re-exciting the supposed
~slumbering sectionalism OF the North.
All claim, however, that it is due the
South, and that the time will come when
it will not only be proper but safe to make
the demand. The New York Herald
warmly seconds the move.

THE S~PEAKERSHIP.
Result Of q Canvass Made by the Louis.
vile Observation-Disclosures
Isle Almost Certain of
Election on the First Ballot, With Sunset
Cox Second Randall Virtually
Out OF the Race.

LOUISVILLE. October 1.-The Courier
Journals Washington bureau has sent out
within the past few months circulars beau
ing upon the question of the Speakership.
The Cour;er-Journdt publishes this morn
ing the result OF its efforts, which, sum
married., is as follows: There are l9l
Democratic members of the next House.
The Democratic caucus viii not consist OF
more than 100 members. From the South
there are l0l members; from the entire
hast, forty-two; from the North and West,
fifty-three. The friends OF Randall claim
that after Cox is out OF the way, fifteen out
OF the tw~enty-one memDer from New
York will &c to Randall This claim is
exaggerated, but grant it. Now, give HIM
twelve votes from his W State and hall
of the remaining nine votes from the East,
and he has ~thirty-one votes. Give HIM
twenty-five votes from the South, which Is
the largest number claimed by his friends,
and five more than he ever will receive,
and he has fifty-six votes. Out OF fifty
three in the West, the most sanguine
| friends of Randall do not expect more than
fifteen. This number added TO fifty-siX may
give Randall seventy-one votes, ortwenty-
one votes less han are needed to give
him the nomination, if there should he a
full caucus. Now Tor Carlisle's chanc 1t
predicts that he will receive the following
vote on the second or third ballot from the
States named: Alabama, >; California, ,;
Illinois, s; Iowa, .; Louisiana, 3; Michi-
gan, .; Missouri, 9; New York Cox OUT,
II; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina. +;
Texas, s; West Virginia, =; Arkansas, +
Georgia, s.; Indiana, s; Kentucky, 8;
Massachusetts, >; Mississippi, .; Nevada,
|; New jersey, /; Ohio, 8; Tennessee, .;
Virginia, l; Wisconsin, 1; total, ZIG. Cox
will receive more votes probably on the
first ballot than Mr.. Randall. He will not
get less han forty-five, and may rise to
fifty. Springer will receive ever or eight,
and there will perhaps be ten or twelve
scattering votes. The contest may be j
narroM one hetMeen Carlisle and Cox.

Montgomery AdreriiSef and Mail:
So our enemies hope to incite a spirit OF
~antagonism between the Democrats OF the
South and North. They think there still
exists among Northern Democrats enough
OF sectional feeling to make them resent
any attempt on the part of Southern Demo-
Gratis to take control of the party. They
think that a platform made up by South
ern men would be repudiated by our
Northern brethren to such an extent as to
bring defeat at he polls. . True,
the electoral votes OF the South are abso-
lutely necessary to elect a Democrat.
True, also, there are as good men III the
South as in the North, and i'll whose hands
the government would be quite as safe.
None the less true is il that the numbers,
the intelligence and the devotion OF the
Southern Democrats would entltle them
to at least an equal voice in the matter,
but what Of all that? Northern and
Southern Democrats together form the
Democratic party. # party success is
worth anything it is worth more than the
qualification OF any feeling OF sectional
pride. II we are to believe that the well
fare of the country demands a change OF
administrations we can well forego any
desire of Southern domination, if such a
desire exists, for the good Of the govern
ment. We have made -four gallant fights
with Northern men and lost, but if we fail
as often as Brucc's spider did, we shall
hope for that little insects success at last
The electoral vote OF the South will be
given as certainly for Holman or Thurman
as it would be for Bayard or Gordon, and
we would expect a good administrator
from either. But, although Southern
Democrats will not and should not go tC
the convention with any desire to domi
nate and control, there are some thing:
they should by all means insist on ant
obtain. They should see that the plat
form voices the feelings OF Democrats, an6
adhcres to the principles of Democracy
and they should insist that IL genuine
Democrat is the nominee of the nven
ton. The standard-bearer should be ~
unassailable in his Democracy as in Iii
personal reputation. We want no NOR
experiments OF 1872. We ought not to b,
expected to bring all our forces TO thu
support of anybody but a real Democra
on a real Democratic platform. If tn,
convention does this there will be no dan
ger of discomfort because a Southern maj
Is not placed on the ticket. Our section
of the Union can demand this with al
consistency, and has an undoubted RICH

Wrong Deductions.

Mobile RegiSe-: The Memphis ArrEAL
thinks that the Register is greatly alarmed
lest a Southern man should he nominated
for the Nice-Presidancy by the National
Democratic Convention in lSSl.' The Ar
PENL is mistaken. The EsgiaCr is not at
all alarmed, for it believes that the inn
prudence of such Il nomination will, kong
before the meeting of the convention, be-
come apparent to the southern people.
Commenting ON our position in this mat
ter, the APPEAL continues:
Like some of the Southern papers we quoted
from yesterday, It is quite content to follow
whore the Northern Democrats dead, and VIII
willingly leave them the making Of che ticket
next year, The .Rogistcr, like all other papers
that take this position, conteSscS that inc hei'uo~
leans have hitherto been right in insisting upon
the nstracism Of the South FROM national affairs
1t tacitly admits thai the South has been by this
ostracism punished for it, 'Eebcllion againstthc
North, and not being sufficiently punished It must
years. and until the southern people have i"rgot-
ten that they have any rights in q bcm"craiic
con yeotion that Northern Democrats are bound
to respect.
The ArrEAL is entirely mistaken in the
deductions il draws from our article on
this subject. We do not confess that the
Republicans nave hitherto been right in
insisting upon the ostracism OF the South,
because We hold that the best way to de-
feat the Republicans is to refrain from
pushing the claims of the South to n place
upon the national ticket; we do not tao
itlv admit that the South las been 10y this
osiracism punished FORTS rebellion against
the North, and that not being sufficiently
punished it must be whipped some more,
because we consider the success OF the
Democratic ticket of infinitely more i'm
portance thar a.S empty honor paid oul
section. The success ef that ticket would
very probably be impcriled az this time by
! placing a Southern man on il, and there
fore it is best not to do it. That is our
| position in a nutshell.

he.Courier-JournaI,s- Editorial.

LOUISVILLE, October 1.-The Courier
Journal says editorially this morning about
the Speakership: Outside of Pennsylva-
mia, Handalrs strength is very meager,
desultorv and scattered. If he even gets
fifty votes it will surprise us. Forty COM
initials are a large allowance to give him
at present. Our means of ascertainment
consist OF 123 letters, public and private,
received at the COitrier-JO3trlGP offices at
Washington and Louisville, and u esti-
mates have been carefully and impartially
made. In the last House there were only
thirty-five members, led by Mr.. Randall,
recorded in favor of the keifer-kelly-
Robson tariff. In the Senate there was
Just one. The last Congressional canvass
was made distinctively upon tariff reform.
and in that issue we carried the next
House by an overwhelming majority. 1t
is % likely that there are any more
protection Democrats in the rex House
than there were in the last, and it is
simply preposterous to believe that the
Democrats of the next House will reverse
the past recoId, not only in the last Con-
gress, but for the last thirty years, and put
themselves under the lead OF a man who
separated himself from the party to help
Keller and Kelly and Robson to fasten a
vile and thieving job upon the peo-
pie OF the United States. Mr.. Carlisle
stands prominent among those who
represent the policy OF tax reform which
the Democratic party has stood for in
every national nya since 1910; on
which it won victories III 18Th, 1852, 1876
and 1876; on which it carried the country
in 1871 and 1882. to which it pledged
| himself, with thirteen only dissenting
voices in the. last Congress, led by Mr..
Randall out of the Democratic party and
into the Republican camp. Any sound

A southern Nice-President.

Nashville World There seems to be a
disposition on the part OF seyeraLSouthern
to press the name of some
Southern man for the second place on the
Presidential ticket. While there is no
question of the loyalty of the South, nor
no doubt of its being as much an inte-
grail part OF the Union as the State who
claims to have furnished the great
est numbe of troops "for the pres
ervation OF the Union," and while
there. are statesmen fully competent to
even fill the Presidential chair, yet at this
time it would be unwise to put forward
any Southern man for a position on the
ticket. The success of the Democratic
party in 1884 is almost assured, and the
necessity for the overthrow and ousting OF
the Republican party is growing every
day. 1t has been in power $ long and
committed so many blunders, shielded so
many criminals who have grown rich
upon their stealings and originated so
many gigantic schemes OF plumber that
even its own friends are dropping from its
ranks and see that a change OF parties in
the national government would be bene-
fetal to the best interests of the Union
Now lust at a time when this party OF
great moral ideas, Notwithstanding the Ell
forts of its leaders, is gradually dislnte-
| grating and the success of tie Democratic
party becoming more and more apparent,
it would be exceedingly unwise for the
South to insist upon filling the second
place because of the sentimentality o
a few that this section is entitled to recog
milton at the hands OF the Ma
tional Democracy. Let sentiment go
what we want is practical benefits and
Southerner upon the ticket would be useC
as a lever of no little power by the Repub
loan leaders t0 raise the bloody shirt alOf
and help their party retain power. Lei
the North or West name the men, and lie
the South stand in solid phalanX to thei
support. BY this means the great Demo
cratic party can achieve success and tn
sentimentality of q few make place 10
practical aid to the prosperity of the ma
ton.
