The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-04-18

know rs 10 whether or not the bill can
70 through by suspension Of the rules
on Monday. Such motion requires two
thirds. He asked me whether | would
consent TO II. told him | would like TO
have thorough understanding OF what
New York State gets and what the en-
ginoers' estimates are and what are the
reasons therefor, and, next, how far below
the estimates are the appropriations. II is
understood that New York gets moro in
proportion TO her population than other
statcs-that is, according 10 the estimates
OF the engineers. But whether or not
New York Is not entitled 10 more, being
the largest commercial State, and New
York city being the largest commercial
entrepot this is TO he considered, and,
being the chairman Of the New York
delegation, in that regard want to con-
slider over Sunday whether il would be
wise TO pass bin which, according TO the
Chamber OF Commerce and other CONF
mcrcial organizations in the city OF New
York, fails 10 give us I'm adequate sum-
But this will be determined very soon.
81 hope that my chance talk, II printed,
may inspire orr members from New York
city TO be on hand on Monday 10 assist in
NhAsAliilliN WI AuN WY ITO lull IiNIhNl'lA w
the surplus, which X to De iudiciously, or
inludicially, expended,
Therefore, cannot see how | could,
according 10 my sense Of duty, either 20
south Tor u little recreation, after the long
service have had here. since January
in the chair and ont, or oven TO 20 10 New
York city, TO have some interviews with
my constituents, who, | am assured, are
anxious TO send me again 10 my seat
s'M'ormEU TIME.
"Wcll, Mr. Cox" said the correspond
ent, edo you think Il likely, II YOU do not
20 south now, that you may later In tho
season say some time In the iallY'
To this question Mr.. Cox replied: "The
emergency connected with the presidcn-
tial election calls on some Of the elders OF
the Democratic church 10 give advice, and
sometimes, ii thoy are able, rhetoric and
logic pertinent 10 the issues which deter
mine the asccndancy OF parties. | nm
sure there IL nothing that would 30 delight
me rs TO make some personal observations
In the south. In reference 10 the direct
tax have had peculiar reason against
II, As the champion OF amnesty In every
regard, financial moral, political, consti-
tulional and otherwise, opposed the bill,
for | regard myself ny committed 20 u
moral statute OF limitations against the no
viyal Of fiscal cxactions. The rcgcnemtcd
south has leapod out Of her old condi-
tons. She has u new system OF labor; she
has fresh resources worthy OF the study OF
the next census takers and Of social scicnt-
lists on every hand. Therefore I would
give her good, long breathing time, and
disallow all legislative measures tending TO
the distractions Of the sections or 10 the
discoumgmcnt OF the south in her new
race OF advancement
"As have had good deal To do In rec.
onciling the House TO the consideration Of
measures that are indispensable, | do not
intend 10 give a vote that docs not look 10
the thorough rehabilitation Of the sections,
In all that makes mp political and business
intercourse and in all that gives sanction
TO the constitutional order and unity OF
this country"
