EDlroRs AppEAL-There is an editorial

EDITORS APPEAL-There is an editorial
in the APPEAL, of yesterday, which misreprs-
sents the Methodist ministers of Memphis. Ii
speaks of "the Methodist clergymen" denounc-
ing the Rev. Mr.. Long 'as liar They did no
such thing. The language of their resolution
does not bear any such construction. wrote
the resolution, and know that it had no reference
TO Mr.. Longs character whatever. 1t was fully
discussed, and no word spoken that
call impeaching Mr.. Longs veracity. The reso-
luton embodied our unanimous opinion of his
views the Sabbath set forth in his published
sermon. These views we know to be false to the
core and false throughout. The resolution
does not touch Mr.. Longs character in any
way, either directly or by honest implication.
The ArPEAL advises TO study Mr.. Longs
sermon "a fine example of tolerance" have
studied il enough to find it a tissue of biblical,
historical. legal and religious blunderr. His
language with respect TO his brother ministers is
"a fine example of tolerance He virtually
says that we are either too ignorant too
c0wardly to hold his opinions. The ministers of
the city have uniformly treated Mr.. Long with
Christian courtesy, and his violent and abusive
language is a gratuitous insult 20 everyone who
differs from him. How anyone can call this
''toleranee" is beyond comprehension. We
know full well the APPRAL is against US, and
know full we'll also that il has undertaken To
support desperate case; but we are unwilling
to think MIR. Longs condition is already bad
that the APPEAL must misreprescnt us in order
20 serve him s. A. STEEL.
oFFIcE. FIRST METHODIST CEURcH.
ANSWER.
The resolution adopted by the Meth
odist ministers and written, as he admits,
by the Rev S. A. Steel, is as follows:
Rcsoipei, That we regard the views recently
N trat ed bV an of q
the subject of the Sabbath estirctg fIise, de-
struetive of public morality and revolutionary in
their tendency.
We italicise the words entirely false"
as it was the use OF them by Mr.. Steel that
led us to say that the Methodist minis
tiers had denounced the Rev. Mr.. Long as
liar. Webster defines the word falls
mot truly, not honestly" and again ~.
''To mislead by want of truth TO deceive"
and again ~, "To defeat, TO balk, TO
evade." Webster also defines "lie" as Ql,
a faisehood uttered for the purpose of de-
ception," and also (2l, Anything which
misleads or disappoints, as false doctrine
and the like" Liar" Webster,
too, defines as zone who lies" The feS0-
luton regards Mr.. Longs views on the
subject of the Sabbath as "entirely false"
that is, not true, not honest, as misleading
by want of truth, in fact lie, misleading
or disappointing, q false doctrine. The
ArPEAI., therefore, according TO Webster,
did not misrepresent Mr.. Steel or the
Methodist ministers when it said they de-
nounced Mr.. Long as ''liar." Our state
ment was just inference from the use of
the words entirely false" We have ne
purpose to misrepresent anyone. We have
pot and We viii not knowingly.

note Is that the only instance Of two
Democratic malorities in succession
was in 1882 and 1888. What encour-
agement is to be gathered from the
past Is afforded by this concurrence Of
the two Democratic victories, the last
in full vote. But upon the whole
the chances of Democratic success are
not good. If Ohio should go Demo-
cratic at this election IL will probably
remain permanently so.
A Republican majority in October
does not guarantee another IN Novem-
Der. There is much hostility to Blaine
that does not extend to the state ticket,
and many votes will be cast for the
Republican nominees in the state cleo
ton that will be withheld from Blaine,
or even cast directly for CLEVELAND.
The election of 1876, where in the
state election preceding the presiden-
tial election the Republican majority
was II, l24, and two weeks later but
75l6, showing a decrease of nearly
10000, is proof that many Republicans
exercise discriminating judgment
in casting their votes for the candidates
and not for the party. Very similar
con ditions exist in the Democratic
party now as in 1876. Cleveland is
the natural successor of Tilden, and
represents the same honesty of gov
eminent. He will get the same class
of support in the Republican ranks as
was given to Tilden in 1876. He will
get more; for in that year the presi-
Dental candidate was selected from
Ohio, and the deep antagonism toward
him was not dividing the party that is
now stirred up against Blaine.
If the Democrats carry Ohio in the
state election, it will be marvel. II
they lose it by less than 10000 votes
they may still carry itin November. A
few days will tell the tale.

The Case in Ohio.

The Ohio state canvass is now in its
last week, and the concentration of
energy in that state viii be redoubled
by both Democrats and Republicans.
The most thorough poll ever made of
the state has just been completed, and
upon the evidence Of this poll the
Democrats claim the state by major
ity Of from 5000 TO 10000. The poll
may be correct one, but we cannot
regard it as perfectly trustworthy. A
Democratic majority in presidential
year is unknown in Ohio, and vlcto-
ry over the Republicans now could be
regarded in no other light than as a
revolution in public sentiment.
To show what odds the Democrats
must overcome to win the present
election, we append figures showing
the vote of Ohio for thirty years, on
the presidential ticket:
