CHATTANOOGA, November Ill
sec no indications of breakup in

that the Republican party is pretty

Georgia it is formally disbandcd
Likewise in mississippi. In South
Carolina most Of tic leaders have
been run off or are lodged in tho
pcn:tcntiary, where moro of them
belong than will ever got there.
Right here let me say That sympa-
thy for tho South Carolina Ropubli-
can leaders is pretty much wasted.
They were rascals and plundcrers
from top to bottom, with now and
then al exception that made the
surrounding darkness only more
dark. That fellow Patterson has
no business in tho Senate, and
should be kicked out, no matter if
his vote is necessary to Republican
supremacy, rs I believe it is. He
bought his place, buying the pur-
chasablo darkcys in the Legislature
as the slave drivers did in tho old
time, only under Patterson's dis
pensation the darkcys got tho
money themselves. Don't sympa-
thize with tho "persecutcd South
Carolina Republicans" more than
you would with an ordinary gang
Of convicts, or mourn that tho So
called Democrats arc in power
there. That State must belong
either to the thieves or the Demo-
Gratis there is no half way ground
and it is better to let tho Democrats
have it. We can almost cry out,
'Anything, Lord, but what has

In Alabama there is no Republi-
can party to speak Of. There is
Spencer Ill the Senate, but he soon
goes out and won't go in again, and
Willard Warner running an iron
furnace, and OK Governor Parsons
attending courts, and Sam. Rice
sitting on the fence, and cx-tiov-
clhor Lewis down on the other
side, AHA that is all there is of the
Republican party in Alabama.
In Florida there is Il sigh of life,
growing out of collection OF
Northern consumptivcs and native
negroes, bnt they cannot carry tho
State. In Texas the Republican
party Is SO reduced that short
string Of omnibuses, moderately
loaded, could carry it all ont Of the
State, and they had has as well

iu'mc supremacy IS concerned. In

this completes the inventory of tho

In North Carolina, kentucky and
Tennessee only arc there signs of
substantial Republican life. but not
