The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-10-02

October is here in all its gorgcousness
and Indian summer; an important cleo
ton day is but little more than one
month ahead, and what are the unterri-
fed doing?
This question was asked OF a number OF
the Democratic wheel-horses by an Ar
PEAL reporter yesterday. From the char.
acter Of the replies received, the boys are
not performing tasks that are calculated TO
disjoint legs, or arms, or tear the whole
front section out Of their lungs.
They arc at present evidently either
relying upon dsalIcction in the ranks Of
the enemy or trusting largely 10 the elf
cacy Of a systematic and skilliul siill-hunt
In other words, there has been nothing in
the campaign 80 far 10 remind one OF an
old-time pyrotcchnic onslaught.
But It is believed the crusade against
Republicanism, and everything pertaining
thereto, will take on n crimson hue before
many.days have passed out the back door
OF time. The foundation for this state
ment IN found in the reply OF Judge
j. S. Galloway 10 the opening rc-
poricrial inquiry ave are in the
bushes at present, but well begin 20
make IL warm for the unwashcd enemy
about next week. Democratic clubs will
be organized all over the city and
county, every available stump win serve
rs a platform for inyincibo speakers,
Democratic Arguments will float through
the air In double rank, and after the de-
termined manner OF belatcd vngrant flies
hustling for an exposed molaSes barrel.
That's the kind OF business we're going IN
give the enemy ~ soon ~ their heads arc
exposed, which will be on Thursday
next"
While tho Judge Is not a member Of the
executive committee, yet he il regarded by
the members and others rs a sale cOun-
sellor, and always stands on the inside,
even when tho door IL shut His outline
Of the forthcoming campaign by Demo-
rats may DO accepted as authoritative.
Seeming indifference nj the present time
Hoes not count. The leaders do not be-
lieye In wasting ammunition upon the
woods supposed 20 shelter an enemy.
i'Better wait until you sec their whisker,
then give 'em the devil" Is their motto.
After next Thursday there will be lots Of
music and hair pulling.
HousEw AIMING.
The Jacksonian club has arranged a
house.warming for next Thursday night,
and cordially invites such Of the enemy a

Clapp will do the honos. These nd
ircsses are designed 30 warm up the boy
and loosen up their joints for the mighty
charge to follow later.
