The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-08-05

81 sec the white, black Republicans,
Zach Taylor, A. S. Meyers and others, are
kicking because their friends, the negroes
did not defeat the white people in the
election contest last Thursday and they
threaten TO go into the courts to seek con-
ISOLATION, remarked leading citizen yes
terday 10 the street talk gatherer.
THAT is fact and rumor combined, was
the answer.
"White Republican office seekers have
always been greater enemies Of the people
OF the south than the negroes, added the
speaker. at il from the former that the
latter Get all their bad inspirations. No
one expects much from Zach Taylor, who
is n political adycnturcr and professional
office seeker of the home made stripe he
is not an imported carpet Dagger, but he
is rapidly becoming the second Barbour
Lewis Of Memphis. Negro rule means de-
struction to business, robbery Of every
thing in sight, and placing the illiterate,
half savage negro on top-it means
the supremacy OF dishonesty, mcanness

white men, given employment, kept alive,

than twenty years these same ungratcful.
thankless negroes have voted against the
best interests Of their patrons and EN-.
ployers, just ont Of pure righteousness aud
hate, which will always exist in the heart
OF the negro toward the white people Ice.

dominant race. This Republican told the
truth. but there is remedy Tor all this
and very oilectual one"
The solution of that problem is looked

news man.
"Why should the white men of Mem.
