The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-10-22
OLD SIMON CAMERON
THINKS BLAINEIS APT TO OVER
DO THE BUSINESS.
He Is Like Clay, In That lie Is Mag
netic, IL Very Positive, and Has
a Large Following.

Upon ling reminded OF that tect the
reii!ed statesman remarked: ooh, yes,
/ have b en- told so very oft OF ate,
snd when get a glimpe Of myself
begin 10 think the comparison Is nesr
the truth. | was oncs one OF the
Woubippers OF Old Hickory. He
used 10 make things very lively ia
tho.e days. But politics have much
charged"
There is q t Xxi G analogy between
the careers Of Clay and Blaine"
"That i, 20, and | often recall the
fact. WAS not in tbs Senate with
CLAY, but remember him well. He
resigned from the Senate as piece oil
po!itcal fireworks. i entered tie
Senate duiing that ioterval. Clay had
a large and tempestuous following,
but he was very positive man in his
convictions, That may be ali very
well for the guidarc3 OF a public mau
in lis publc duty, but politics is a
profes ion OF compIom ses, Mr.. b aine
is very bright, but he is a. t to overdo
tie business. A conservative man
makes ths succ6 sslul pol tic an. When
/ left tue Senate Of the United States
| retired from active participation in
politics, but i owe the Republican
party too g'eDt debt OF obligation
not to feel paramount Interest in it's
SUCCESS. Ia'ways take C utsel from
experience and should never permit
my personal feelings to stand between
my Judgment and my duty 10 my
parry, particularly in the matter Of IL
dividua preierer ces.
81 have no hesitation ia fayiug hat
Mr. Cleveland has made an excellent
Pres dent. He HIS done some things,
purely ma tsrs OF administrative de-
tail, about which few people in his
party are disposed to grumble, but If
any Republican thinks that that will
be an element Of weakness in the
Democratic party 10 the nj KIT campaign
be will be woefully deceived. | know
something of the Democratic party.
/ was in it and of il before our grand
Republican party was formed. Mr..
Cleveland will be nominated because
they cannot nominate anybody else,
aud he will be a candidate whom it
will require every Republican vote 10
defeat. Sentiment does very well in
q campaign, bu the votes do the eject
ing. The Democra's have no sentl-
meLt. They b. lieye in voteP. All
this talk about dissensions in the
Der ocyatic party on this civil service
talk amounts to nothing In fact, it
dou't exist any more than would ex.
list whore q dozen men want an Office
and only one can get it. We had the
same trouble. Wien the campaign
OF 1888 comes arouud you will find
the Democratic organization at Cieve-
lands lack. The Democratic man
agsrs, with the prestige OF
holding tie 6dninistra ion, will prom
ise the offices, and you will see the
party workers turning in everywhere.
As | say, il the Repu ylicaus expect to
retain their ssc ndanCy, they must do
| it on othsr grounds than Democratic
discord. You will find when the
record OF Mr.. Cleveland's a1ministra
zion is made up, it will demonstrate
that hs made every effort t. stand by
the pledges of his party platform and
he has Kept the government in good
Iunning der. We must, therefore,
have strong candidate, who can rally
the whole strength OF our party, il We
expect to win" -,
"You are friendly TO Mr.. BlaineP"
ENTIRELY 30. MIR. Blaine and my
self have always bsen on excellent
persond termF, and l do not wish to
say any hiEg for or against any plans
that his friends may have in view for
him. 1t is more than Likely thst Mr.,
Blaine wtll get the great bulk of the
Roman Catholic VOC, II thai fact
should become Conspicu JUS it might
overlurn all calculations. There is
no telling what the Methodist, b p
lists, Llthefans and old Pfesby-
teriaus m ght do. We had a contest
like that in Pennsylvania within my
own recollection. 1t was in 1921. /
was then over q, voter and to TX an
in crest in politics. In a certain
Catholic church in Philadelphia the
congregation had some misunderstanding
ing with the priest and wanted 10 get
him out. The members of the con
gregltion made great deal OF con-
fusio1, but the organ cation OF the
church naturally etoGd by the priest.
Finally the congregation carried the
controversy into the Legislature by
having a bill introduced permitting
them to elect their own priest.
Schutze, who had been a Lutheran
preacher and lived in Lebanon, wa;
in the Legislature and voted for the
bill. la 1923 hs was candidate for
Governor. The organization OF the
Catholic Church represented by the
priest did their utmost to defeat him
and thus punish him for voting fol
that bill. This got out among the
people. The Methodisls, Lutherana
and old Presbyt rlans supported
Schull8e, and he was elected by 8
roNsing majority. 1t bad thing &c
draw the lines in politics on reliGiou'
is 'ues. You never can tell where
lhey will strike.
"Thtre is no doubt thst New York
will b. the battle ground, therefore
the party managers must consider the
question Of expediency. A mistake
will cost US the last chance for years
II the Democrats carry the next cleo
ton they are likely to stay. Thit
term is experimental The nomlna
ton OF Hewitt for Mayoroi New Yori
by Tammany aud his Endorsement BY
the County Democracy is the frs
movement towards q solid fitd Demo
cratic party for 1888. When their or
gan Nations ale in harmony in the cit!
the came thing will follow throughout
tho State, Everyone knows what tina
means. The discipline of those organ
izatione will keep the great bulk OF tax
rank aud Ale in line"
The venerable prophet Of Regubli
Cpnism said that these we're simply re
lections, but after the election HI
could form better judgment Of tn
interests oil the patty, as the p1iitica
forces would then begin to crystsiiz
for the great struggle.
