The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-04-13

The Conservative candidates at
present are Messrs. Dalrymple and
Eleho, and the Tory placaIds contain
the following appeal: "Will You vote
for Dalrymple and Elcho aud the sup
mort of her majesty, the Queen, the
Marquis OF Salisbury and the integrity
of the Empire, or for Glad tone, Par
nell, home rule and the ruin OF Eng
land and the EmpireT
THE PAIL MALL GAEETTK
says that in view OF the action Of the
Conservatives in deciding to allow the
fret reading Of the home rule bill 30
60 to allow Mr. Gladstone to introduce
his Irish land measure, and thus
strengthen the Tory campaign in the
event of general election, II would
be wise for Mr.. Gladstone TO ride for
a fall" tonight. 1t advises him VI
force a division on his request for
leave to introduce his home rule bill
during to.night's debate, in order to
avoid the introduction Of the land pur-
chase bill and the conseQr ent addition
to his opposition. The thing bad bet
ter be faced and settled at once, argues
the Pal Mall Gazette, rather than have
the land purchase bill changing about
the necks of his adherents Tor several
weeks" only to be finally settled in
perhaps a LEES advantage GUS manner
than is possible now.

Isaac Stephenson is practical man.
His life has been spent among the Ia
boring classes-the pineries and on
the rivers. His wealth is the accumu-
Iation of his own industry. He is the
friend of the laborer John Ringle is
a professional politician. He never
followed any other vocation then that
of an Office seeker, Office holder. His
wealth is the leakages gathered from
the public crib. He has never min
gled with the laboring classes only
when seeking votes. Voters select
from the two for the merit they pre-
sent and you cannot vote for Rlngle.
IF you do you vote against your own
principles The principles of this
country, and your vote will indicate
that you favor professional politicians
to practical business men.-Aat5go

George E. Merrill.

The republican candidate for the
state senate from this district, Mr..
Geo. F. Merrill, of Ashland, is emf
nently qualified for that important
position, He is young, energetic, and
has the ability to become leader in
the upper house Of the Legislature.
He is graduate of the law class of
the State University. and has been
practicing law at Ashland for some
four or five years, where he has become
very popular with the political parties.
His votes will not all come from his
own party, but he will be supported by
democrats who know him to be far bet
ter fitted for Office Of senator than his
opponent, John Edwards.
The nomination came 10 Mr.. Mer,
rill without solicitation. He had no
thoughts Of receiving such an honor at
the hands Of the convention. But the
result was hailed with enthusiasm
throughout the whole district, and he
will not only receive the solid vote oil
his part y, but hundreds of democrats,
especially in his county where he is SC
we'll known, will vote for him. Mr.
Merrill should receive the full vote Of
the republican party of Clark county,
and of those democrats who recognize
ability, integrity and the qualities of a
leader in the legislative hall.--Neits-

Hon. Isaac Stephenson.

We are pleased to note this week
that through the efforts Of Congress-
man Stephenson, A. B. Breasted, of
Centralia received notice that his pen
sion claim was allowed. He received
81 per month from date Of application
Dec. 23d 1884. While the amount is
small it is just as acceptable as though
it was larger. Democrats and Repub-
licans receive the same attention from
Congressman Stephenson in pension
matters. We expect democrats to
support him at the coming election.
We append few quotations:
While Hon. Issac Stephenson was
in Wausau early in the week, it was
noticed that three-fourths of his time
was consumed in listening to cold
soldiers" who had pension claims, or
petitions of some nature to present to
him, and that every one had his case
as carefully considered as if he had
been a leading politician. The politi,
cal complexion of the veteran was not
inquired into. Another noticeable in
cident occurred when Mr.. Stephenson
was talking with several local leaders,
when the subject of nominating a
strong county ticket was brought up,
when our member asked to be excused,
as that was matter with which he
had no right to interfere. At almost
the same time his opponent, candidate
, John Ringle, was holding star
chamber meeting with a few fellow
democrats, trying to pursuade candi-
date, duly nominated by the demo-
cratic county convention, to withdraw
from the ticket There is world of
difference between Stephenson nd
Ringle. = Central.
Hon. Isaac Stephenson was in the
city last week and spent day viewing
our thriving town and meeting friends.
The more such a man as Mr.. Stephen
son becomes acquainted with the peo-
pie the better will he be liked by
them. He is plain matter of fact,
honest man and firm friend of the
people. That he will be triumphant
ly elected is beyond the possibility of
a doubt. - Wausau Torch

We, as we'll as all other Republicans,
realize the fact, that, the Democrats
have a working majority Of about 800
over the Republicans in the county,
yet that is no reason why we should be
discouraged or that there is no hope
for some, if not all, of the Republican
ticket. It is true that most all of the
nominees on the democratic ticket are
we'll qualified for their several positions
and taken as whole, are all good
men-as far as we know them. Yet
we cannot understand why some men
should be SO much preferred over
others that they should have a life-lease
of an office It is our humble opinion
that some Of the Republican county
ticket can be elected by personal effort.
1t will depend upon themselves.
To MEssRs. W. Fl. UPHAM AND
r. Common.
Members Go. Cent. Com. Gentle
men: While | feel honored by the
nomination for member of Assembly
rendered me By the Republicans in this
county, regret to say that cannot
accept it. My business is such that it
requires my constant attention, and to
accept the nomination and attend to
the duties of the Office, if elected,
would require a personal sacrifice
which | do not believe my friends
would ask me to make. With my
best wishes for the success of the
Republican ticket [ remain
Yours truly,
GEO. r. GARDNER.
Whether the County Central Com
mittee will supply candidate in Mr..
Gardeners stead for member of assem-
bly, we are not aware at this writing.
We were sorry that Mr.. Gardeners
business relations were such that he
could not accept the nomination and
make the canvass.
Claus johnson, candidate for sheriff
is an old resident of Wood County,
and has been a resident farmer in the
town of Sigel, for a good many years
He has held the offices of Treasurer
and Clerk for several terms with per-
feet satisfaction to the people. At
present he is chairman of the town and
watches the interests of the town as
he would his own private business
His election is possible attended by
hard work.
We take pleasure in presenting the
name of l.. A. Charboneau, Of Cen,
tralia, as the republican candidate for
county clerk Mr.. Charboneau is a
son-in-law Of Geo. A. Corriveau, and
a resident of that city He is man
fully capable to perform the duties of
the office and give excellent satisfac-
ton to the people. He is popular
among the democrats as well as the
republicans and stands an excellent
chance of election His opponent Mr.
Hooper is we'll thought of wherever
known and if elected will make good
clerk.
VIM. Bartels, of Marshfeld, candi-
date for county Treasurer, is reported
to US as being very popular in the
northern portion of the county, and
especially SO among his countrymen.
Mr.. Kuntz, his opponent has h I'D the
Office for four years and some people
think that's long enough. He made a
good treasurer and is well-liked. Mr.
Bartels stands a good chance of an

The Secretary Of the Navy has
directed that the Marine guards

shall be used to watch and protect

sible supercede civilian watchmen

the order. ''Take care Of the pence

FRoM the best information at
tainable, there is only one point on
which all the returning Congress
men are agreed, and that is that no
very important new legislation is
likely to be undertaken at the short
session. On all public questions
there is the same wide variance OF
opinion that made the long session
so barren of results. Well-informed
democrats who have seen the Presl-
dent lately believe that he will define
his ideas on the tariff more clearly
in his forthcoming message than he
did last year. They think he will
say that the time is too short in
which to formulate a scheme for a
thorough tariff revision, but that he
will urge the passage of a halfway
measure like the Hewitt bill.
There is also considerable
speculation as to what the President
will say on the silver question this
year. Mr.. Cleveland is not likely
to take the back track, they think,
but they regard it as quite probable
that he will insist upon his anti
silver views with far less vehemence
than he manifested last year. Mr..
Cleveland wouldn't object to being
President for four years more, say
the politicians, even though . ma
jority of his party were against his
financial theories. One financial sug-
gestion that the President is seriously
consideringis the refunding Of the 4!
per cent. bonds, which fall due in
1891, with three per cent. thirty
year bond.

Mr.. A. BECHHoFER announces
for himself and others, that they
have purchased, and will henceforth
control the publication Of the Balti-
more Morning Herald-its daily,
weekly and Sunday editions. "Poli-
tically, The Morning Herald will
owe allegiance to no party, Repub-
lican orDemecratic. 1t will reserve
at all times the right of its opinions
upon men and measures, whoever
or whatever they may be, and in
the expression of it's convictions it
proposes to be guided by the sole
motive of right and justice"
The Herald is the only daily one
cent paper in the city, and by its
cheapness and merits has secured q
very large circulation and pro-
fitable advertising business.
The new proprietors contemplate
making some important improve
ments, but prefer to leave the future
development of those improvements
to actual performance, rather than
to boastful promises. The Herald
has long been a favorite journal with
the masses. It's tone has always
been conservative, and his comments
on men and things Independent
and just.
