MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL.
DECEMBER q. 1888
THE PRENDENIS MESSlGE.


The message Of the President, the full
text of which we reprint this morning
may be the last OF his important state pa-
pcn 1t has all those literary qualities
which have won for him distinction in
scholarship among his predecessors. Tho
public has awaited the publication Of this
document with nm interest at once
eager and peculiar a year ago his
hmous tariff message, which drew the
party line in the last campaign, was sent
to Congress. Upon the issue he made 50
boldly the battle was fought, and the
President, who had given the people an
Administration splendid tor achievements
IN the peoples interests, was defeated at
the polls. Therefore, the people have
looked 10 the message to learn what
might be the effect upon his own
attitude toward tho cause Of tarin
reform. To read Is TO discover
that there Is no shadow Of turning. lie Is
siaunch, assoriivc and uncompromising.
Every line has an inspiring noto for the
defeated. The dangers TO the country hc
forosaw year ago from the maintenance
oil a revenue which has resulted In a con-
gcs,cd Treasury, are now no less for
midabc because the people have de.
clnrcd against the accuracy Of his
judgment, and he finds no reason
IN his defeat, for a modification Of that
judgment. The condition that confronted
the people in 1857 Is not altered In 1883,
aud the lapse Of year has only tended TO
increase the danger. Il Is the honest man
only who may prove the true philoso-
phcr In failure. Tho conyiclio~ oi In

THE HANCOCK OIL FIELD.

The Well Thought to 30 a Gusher-The
Rush for Leases.
There is TO end to the exCituent IN
Hancock county, in III, ncighboEhto1 OF
the big oil we'll struck on Kings Greek,
By the B-idgewater Gas Company. Tbs oil
is of a foe quality of crude, much the
same as that p-cducei in the Washington
county fields, sni by the wsy strata and
depth tni geological formation are MUGS
the same as in the former district, which
is the most productive in the land. A.
the present depth If course but little can
be told concerning the volume of the
fluid, bit tanks are being erected and
ths work of putting the well down to
greater depth will likely be commenced
to-day. Hundreds of people visit the
we'll daily, but nothing can be seen as the
derrick is boardei up. The company
would rather have found gas. OIL
men by tie score have ben in
Toronto daily since the strike and the
hotels have been crowded; cots have tee1
place in the psrlor hall, ETC., at the
Brady House to accommodate their guests
for several nights past The flow of oil
when struck was so strong that before the
tube could bs plugged it is estimated that
hundred barrels or more went to waste.
It was given out on good authority that
the Bridgews,er Company have been
offered by a leading oil firm S25, 900 for
the we'll end their lease on the Bcice farm,
but they respe ,.fully decline. They Rave
over 4, coo acres leased il thu neighbcr-
hood. Daring tbs hour the well wss open
it flowed six or seven times at a rat, that,
ifkeot Up, would insure 800 bnrels a day.
The land for circle Of five MI IS is under

wheeling has seen some pretty big polit-

will assemble in this city ea the 3Oth inst,
to greet that grand cd man, Allen G.
Thurman, will go a lerg ways ahead Of
nything in our history.
The PEOPLE will come for a tucdred
miles around along the railroads, and for
9 distance Of twenty and twenty five miles
in the surrounding country, on horseback,
in wagons, and on foot, to get glimpse Of
the next Vice President of the United
States, and listen TO his voice as he ex-
pounds the truths of Democracy, imbibed
by him, away back in the first half Of the
century, from men who fa1 known and
talked with and received inspiration from
the very siguers of the Declaration of Inds-
pendencs, aad the soldiers of tbs Revolt

the Grand Old Man has! As Representa-
tive, a. Judge, as Senator, he has prtici.

observer Of every political event Of impor-
lance since the Days of jackson. As esily

tive with John Quincy Adams! He unites
the Democracy OF the p, e.ent tine with that
of generation Icing since past! In his life
Re unites the days Of Jefferson and Jack

a living sxenplifcs tion of that party and
policy which has ever held the welfare and
the interest, of the people as the things to
be corsidered above all else.
