The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-10-06

sung the song OF rascality on the part
of the Republicans, aud on that plea
they got in. Democratic lea1era in
those days used to
PRAY THE LORD
to rend floods aud ecourges that they
might charge them to the Republican
party. They declared that bard times
should be no more, but milk and
honey should flow through the land.
The Democratic party has violated
every promise it made. The books
have been examined by experts
anxious 10 find evidence to bring be-
f0re tire people. Have you heard OF
single robbery or dedication,
or the incarceration OF a single
thief? You have not, because
these charges were false. Yes, there
WAS one, in the Treasury. Atthe end
of three weeks it was found that the
Republican party was defauter in the
sum of one cent. The officials thought
thers was something wrong. They did
not want to 90 out unde, such cloud.
They searched the vaults, they found
the one cent in crack and hanced 1t
over to the government.

himself in favor IF the education OF
eur children. He wants good field

HE PLsws THE GROUND

the policy of the Repub' lean party re-
garding The public domain because it
has resulted in the building up OF the
Northwest. But if there was anything
wrong in il, my competitor forgot to
tell you that the late Vice.PIesident,
Thomas A. Hendricks, voted them
away with the Republicans. 1t is nom
sense to say that the public domain
shall be sold and the proceeds divided.
All parties are 60 agreed. 1t must be
held for homes for the homeless. The
Blair bill is not dead, but If the people
of this State, as of all others around 1t,
are in favor of it it will become law.

out of the tax on the luxuries of life,
and not one man in thousand in
Tennessee would pay oGe.qualter OF
a cent. If my opponent wants to dress
in French bToadcloth and flourish
rattan cane, he must pay his mite.
But want American clothes, and if l
must dsnceit shall be in American
kids. My competitor says the Repuh-
lie an parry never thought CT the uued-
ucated children until they got
OUT OF POWER.
Tie Blair bill was introduced while
the Republican party was in power.
Up to that time the government
had other fish to fry. 1t had
to build up the waste places re-
sulting firm pernicious Democratic
doctrine; but havitg arrived at a
point wheIe it was able to pay its
debts, it went to work on the question
of educating the children. III spirit
of msgnsnimity and generosity I'M
equaled, the great statesmen OF our
party went to work to see if plan
could not be devised to help the chill
, dren of the couatry and of the South,
and the Blair bill was the result. The

, termined 10 throw paper balls at 1t.
