the absence Of all those causes, would have tri.
umphed byan immense andoyerwhelming majority.
In the Presidential canvass Of 1896 those causes
will either not exist at all or in much less de-
gree. The party in power will hardly dare TO
venture on the plan of prescription, particularly
AS under the uncertainty Of the event, their own
medicine may be applied 10 themselves The
fanatical proceedings of State Legislature cannot
be made available against Presidential candidate
who Tor at any rate his colleague the Vice Presi-
dent will be from slave State; nor will thou
sands of old line Democrats, who are of the Amer.
lean party, either as actual members or agreeing
in principle, any longer hesitate to cast vote
against the present administration with which
they are thoroughly disguised, or any candidate
affiliated with it, and the entire Wing strength
will also be brought TO bear in favor Of antad-
ministration candidate, instt ad of thousands OF
them, on the late occasion, voting for the anti
Wing candidate.
In view Of all the above circumstances, there
is probably, not a State in the Union which can,
with more certainty, be calculated upon for the
American party, than old pirgiany."
Let us now look at the result in other Southern
States.
North Carolina has sent three Americans out oil
eight delegates to Congress. The relative proper
ton would have been reversed butfor the unneces
sary chill and depression caused by the result il
Virginia,
In Tennessee, the Americans have carried The
Legislature and six out of ten Congressman. They
lost the Governor by small majority, and solely
in consequence of Mr.. Gentry having abandoned
the Wing candidate at the last Presidential contest
for which net thousands of good Wings, who sup
port American principles, refused to vote for him
and when IL required n change of only one thou
sand votes to have elected him II is to be hopeC
the lesson will not be lost him, and others who
might be disposed to follow the example.
In Kentucky the triumph Of the Americans ha
been complete throughout The State-thc Cover
nor by large majority. In both houses Of TIN
Legislature there is II heavy majority for thu
Americans, and seven out Of the ten delegates {,
Congress.
From Alabama, little or nothing was expected
She is one of the last States that be expected
to change. In the political revolution of 1910 sh,
and New Hampshire stood Mt the extremes of til,
Union us the head aud foot stone at the grave o
Democracy But even III Ambama--poor, benight
cd Alabama--the Americans have elected tw,
members to Congress.
Louisiana belongs to the Americans, body ant
soul, and at the election in November will sen,
an entire American delegation to Congress.
In Georgia and South Carolina the party IRE no
only strong but are daily increasing in strength
and though they may not fully succeed at the mex
election their march is onward with every pros
pect of success in 1885, at least in Georgia.
Such, then, Mcssrs. Editors, is the present con
dition and prospects of the American party at tn
South, and who will say that there is anything il
it that is cause for dependency but, on the con
trary, there is everything TO cheer and encourage
and it only requires common prudence and ener
gy OF action to insure glorious triumph in $50
such as will sweep the present weak, unfortunate
and unpopular dynasty from place and power, an
establish firmly aud forever the principle tina
America must be ruled by Americans"
