SPEAKING of the result of the No.
vember elections the N. Y. Tribune
says:
n Is the Northern Verdict ON the at.
titttde Of the South. Never was a de.
feated people 80 generously treated;
never did a victorious administration
make such sacrifices to cOnciliate ite
enemies and promote harmony. The
renewal of bulldozing In South Caro-
lima, Louisiana and elsewhere. has
been one Southern response. The
firm alliance between the Solid South
and the dangerous elements at the
North for soft money and raids upon
the National Treasury has been an
other. The Northern people have
seen these responses and the vote
shows that they understood them.
The above is the language of truth

THE National Republican puts it
just right when it says:

The National Republican puts it
just right when it says:
The result of the battle Tuesday is
gratifying beyond expression, inso-
much as it indicates most unmistaka-
bly, that the presentation of q 'ssolid
South" in the contest has had a tenden-
eE IA 5Snlid au ths loYel sentiment e Of
ter with gratifying unanimity and
power. This struggle is the skirmish
line of the great battle of 1880, when,
as during the period of the war to
save the national life, solid north is
to be arrayed against the solid south.
This political posture of affairs has
been produced under necessity
which the democrats of the late in
surgent states have created by wan
ton disregard ofright, justice and law,
in overriding the rights of Southern
republicans through ostracism, vio-
lence and murder. A mad spirit
seems to have absorbed all sense of
right, all respect for the laws, and all
the humanities that attach to civiliza-
ton throughout the entire South, as
it did during the rebellion, thus
arousing feeling at the North that
can never be allayed until the country
is placed beyond the reach and power
of its enemies, by republican Sem
ate, House of Representatives, and
the continuance of republican power
in the executive branches of the gov
eminent, and treason and rebellion
are regarded as Odious and helpless
for all time.
The democratic leaders of the North
who went off cuddling with Fiat
greenbackism, have, as a rule, not
done it because they believe in such
doctrines, but because they hope to
thus divide the republican party north
in the interest Of The. final success of the
democratic party.
1t is for this purpose alone that they
act thus dishonesty. They have sue
ceeded in dividing the republicans to
some extent, but their dupes are be-
coming awake to the chicanery being
practiced upon them and their ven-
geance will follow as sure as the sun
shall rise. Rascality, deception, will
not win. These bogus democratic
fiat-greenbackers all about us land
there are plenty of them right in
our midst) don't really feel any bet
ter towards greenbacks than they
used to when they were necessity
in the battles If fhe rohal1ion Whot
these sly democrats are after, is to aid
. solid South in the elections, just as
they used to sympathize with them
In our great struggle against the DEM
ocratic party's treason.

Beaten to Death.

GREENvILLE. ILL.,, Nov. S.-The en-
tire community of Greenville wear
sad, gloomy faces and are grief.
stricken, over the sudden and singu.
lar killing of Clarence Clark, young
man fifteen years of age, son of one
of the oldestand most respected fam
ilies. by VIM. Mcneil, son of Abe
Mcneil, wealthy citizen Of this
place. The facts are as follows:
Wednesday evening, Clark, together
with three children, was riding along
the road near the depot, when Nc
Neill came up the middle of the road,
caught hold Of the bride and said !:
~ our money or your life." After
fruitless attempts to drive on Clark
struck Mcneil with his whip, Nc
Neill then stepped beside the buggy,
slapped him several times in the face,
jerked him round in the buggy. and
wound up by knocking his hat off in
10 the road. Clark jumped out to
get it, saying: "You can jerk me
around that way, but you don't make
a fair fight" At these words Nc
Ncill rushed upon him and etruck
him some blows, knocked him down
and kicked him. Clark was unable
to rise and died in a few minutes aft
er being taken home. The corner
held an inquest and the doctors a
post norton examination. A ver-
dict was rendered that deceased came
to his death by internal hemorrhage
caused by kick from Will McNeill.
When the tissues of the abdomen
were opened nearly a gallon and a
half of blood ran out. McNeill, up
on hearing of the death of Clark, dis
appeared, and up to the present time
his whereabouts are unknown, al
though the authorities are making
every effort to apprehend him.

some truth that the Chicago Times

One of the significant matters in
the result of the congressional cleo

the fact that that which goes by the
name of the democratic party is es-
sentially "Solid South" party. The
head and body of the Bourbon dog is
in the South; the tail of the animal
only is in the North, as the following

1t will thus be seen that if line be
drawn from the northeast to the
southwest corner Of the state, nearly
al the forests will be to the SOUTH
ward Of IL.
There is slight increase in the
amount Of forests noticeable In the
extreme southwest; Mills and Free
mont counties having Z per cent.
All the northwestern counties are
extremely destitute of timber. But
few reach 3 or per cent, while many
have but q small fraction of one per
cent.
The same authority (the census re-
port shows us that up to the year
1875 the total area of the artificial for
ests of the state, constituted one-fifth
of one per cent. Stating this last fact
in another way, we may say that up
to that date the forests Of the state
had been increased artiflcially one
thirty-third. = Agricultural College
