THE SOLID SOUTH,

The Republican politicians as we'll as the
Republican press manifest disposition to
re-inaugurate the old sectional war between
the North aud the South. The fact that the
South, in the recent Congressional elections
obeyed the first law of nature-self- protec-
tion-by returning a solid delegation of
Democratic representatives to look after
their interests, is seized upon as an evidence
that the South is hostile to the North. They
never seem to think that if the South is
solidly Democratic, the course of the Repub-
lican leaders of the North has made it so.
The Southern people are firmly of belief
that the Democratic party is the only party
that is unsectional, and is the only party in
whose hands the interests of the people of
the whole country can be safely
entrusted. They have right
to that belief, and have a
right to express it at the polls. New Eng
land is as deserving of censure on the ground
of sectionalism in returning solid Republi-
can delegation to Congress, yet no one
thinks of censuring New England on such
score There is no sense in provoking q
quarrel On sectional grounds, and the at

1t is sad to think that now we shall hear no
more from the St. Paul GLOBE of the ''swin-
ding brass kettle" till the next election.-Red
Wing Republican.
Don't lay that fiattering JUNCTION to your
soul. The war against "the swiEdling brass
kettles is going right along, and when the
Legislature meets it will be renewed and
continued until it is driven from the
State. Those who imagine that the
GLOBE used ''the swindling brass kettle''
as an electioneering dodge will change their
minds before we are done with it. We urged
the farmers to vote against member of the
ring which was robbing them, and they have,
to a great extent done so. If they failed of
success it was because the ring at Minneap-
oils, by means most despicable, forced and
bought an immense vote in cities and towns.
No better evidence of the fact that Wash
burn represents the swindling brass kettles
could be furnished than the claim put forth
by his adnerents that the Washburn vote
endorses the kettles. The GLOBE has always
claimed that a vote for Washburn was vote
for the kettle, and for those farmers who
voted for the Republican candidate we have
no sympathy. They voted to be swindled,
and ought not to be disappointed.

stripped the mask off and called spade

hurt. Hence all the ours of high and low

from Chicago to the GLOBE, made it appear
that there was sharp opposition in the Chi

Northern Pacific grant. This is mistake.
The opposition was to the Texas Pacific sub
sidy The convention seemed to be in the
interest of the Texas Pacific solely, but the
Northern Pacific was logged in to take the
curse off. AS the Northern Pacific is a legit-
innate and meritorious enterprise, it would
have been better if the subsidy gang had
opposed it.

DID our senior Senator have his friend
Washburn in his minds eye when he re-
marked to reporter Of the Chicago Times:
Of the candidates for Congress- three were
Greenb hackers, and they were defeated. All the

One Of them, L 6elicpc, made some promises to
some of the leading Greenbackers in his dis
trict-did it to make votes-and don't know
just how far his pledges may go; but at heart
believe he is a hard-money man.
The only man who ran for Congress in
this State that we can call to mind who
made promises to any great extent was Bill
Washburn, and as he and Window were
cheek by jowl during the campaign, we con-
clude that he is the person our Senator
meant.

Fred Douglass, in an interview, said:
''The attitude of President Hayes to the

pected since the experiment. of CON

Two weeks before President Hayes came to
Washington to be inaugurated it was my good
fortune to meet him at Columbus, and to have
conversation on the Southern policy. For
an hour argued against it, showing, by re-
view OF the conflict between freedom and
slavery, that every concession which had been
made to the South had been
FOLLOWED BY INCREASED ExACTIoNs AND AR
RoGANcE;
that there had always been class of men in
that section who esteemed themselves and
were esteemed as above the law, or a law
unto themselves, who were not impressed
with any just sense of the sacredness of
human life, and thought that negroes es-
peclally might be killed with impunity. I
insisted that concessions would be treated
as cowardice; that what the South needed
was to be taught that there is a God in
Israel; that the laws of the land will be en-
forced in South Carolina as in Massachu-
sets and Ohio. GOV. Hayes assured me that
he intended to
GIVE THE SOUTH FAIR CHANCE
to right itself, and to remove all cause of
complaint, if possible. But said he, sif

at which aim, I shall certainly adopt some
other course. In no event do intend to

''What do you think will be the result of

"Most salutary,' was the reply. ct think
the South itself will see its errors and cor
rect them. 1t will, believe, find out that

which must be protected. The Mormons
lay claim to protection for their polygamous

rHAT ELECTION DAY TELEGRAM,

TINT ELECTION DAY TELEGRAM.
The Jackson Republic should not rely too
much upon the statements of the Washburn
organs. If there was ever anything villain
GUS in political controversy it was in the
course they pursued, and while teeming with
falsehoods themselves, they denounced all
opponents as liars. That so-called election
telegram was not bogus affair but was duly
received by telegraph, and properly signed
by citizen of Minneapolis. The original
copy of the telegram has been carefully pre-
served and can be inspected at the GLOBE
Office. The copy of the telegram was issued
in the utmost good faith, without any COM
ment, simply to show the temper which ami
mated the Minneapolis people. There is no
doubt that it correctly represented the senti-
ment, for men stood at the polls all day in
Weighing against st. Paul and asking and
obtaining votes on that score. Neither is
there any doubt that such banner, as re-
cited in the telegram was in use early
in The morning, for at least three resi-
dents of Minneapolis, other than our cor
respondent, have admitted the fact, or rather
voluntarily testified to its correctness. One
Minneapolis man informed real estate deal
er in st. Paul of the banner, giving its word
ing, before the telegram appeared in ST. Paul.
There were a hundred or more Washbun
carriages and wagons running in
Minneapolis on election day, bear
ing various inscriptions, and probably no
one man, not even Washburn him.
self, knows the banners which all carried.
1t is now admitted that the banner, ssMin-
neapolis foreyer-vote for Washburn and
Minneapolis was used on carriages all day.
And yet Mayor Rand and others declared
that no banner or device appealing to local
prejudice was used. This shows how much
their statements are worth. This banner
which is now admitted, was simply a modif-
cation of the suppressed morn
ing emblem and meant the same
thing. There is no disputing either
the sentiment or conduct of the people
The ballot box returns are unanswerable on
that point.
The GLOBE alludes to this matter again
that papers like the Jackson Republic and
all others may be set right, once for all.

is not only injudicious but unpatriotic. It is
also senseless. To deny the right of the
South, or the West, or the East to select
whomsoever they shall choose as representa-
tives in Congress is to deny the right of
franchise guaranteed by the constitution.
These champions of sectional hate proceed
on the theory that the government was Gre
ated for the especial benefit of the Republi-
can party, and whatsoever seeks to subvert
the Republican party seeks to subvert the
government. Such theory is nonsensical,
besides being unrepublican. No matter
how long our government exists sec
tional differences will arise. The
South may be arrayed against the North,
or the West may be arrayed against the
East, but neither fact need argue a
menace to the national integrity. On ques-
tions of only local interest we can never
hope for full agreement between the sec
tons. Instead, therefore, of stirring up
disputes, true patriotism and true interest
would seem to dictate that there should be
mutual concessions. At the present time
the South is willing to make whatever con-
cessions to the North may be necessary to
promote good feeling. The North ought
not to be less generous, and we do not be-
lieve that the temper of the people indicates
any such disposition.

The GLOBE had hope that, after all the
professions Of the Republican party in favor
of economy, and the avowed intention of
the heads of bureaux and departments to
cut down their estimates to the lowest
possible point the old quarrel that ragged so
fercely in the last session of Congress would
not be revived. We placed too much con-
fdence, it seems, in professions, and did not
wait for the fulfllment of those professions
before giving the Republican party credit
for good intentions. We grieve to say that
our confidence has been misplaced. The
chief of the postoffice department. declared
a month ago that his estimates for the en-
suing year would be so low that the most
economical member of Congress would find
no place in which to cut them down. The
reports of his subordinates thus far
made public show that the
department will require at least three
general claimed, short time since, that he
would bring the expenses of the department
of justice below last years appropri atoms.
He now asserts that the necessity of prose
cutting bulldozers at the South will necessi-
tate an increased expenditure amounting to
million OF more. The secretary of state
processes to be anxious to reduce the expens
es of his department, but the complications
with England over the Halifax award seems
to call for an extra appropriation. The
treasury department. has been called upon of
late to care for lot of people who have rem
dered the party services in the past-the
Jenkses, Anderson, Marks, Cazanave, Ell id
genus onane-and will require few hundred
thousand more, while the interio and
war departments declare that they have
never had enough for current expenses, and
must have more than ever before
So it has been from the beginning to the
end. Making professions of desire to econ
omize, the departments have, one and
all, on one pretext or another, demanded
extra appropriations. Taken entire, fully
eighteen millions more than last years APP
preparations are asked, and specious reason s
are presented why the extra sums should be
granted. 1t is very evident, therefore, that
the Democratic House will find enough TO
do lat the coming session. They will have to
cut down the appropriations from the depart
ment estimates, contest every point with
the Republican Senate, and finally either re-
fuse to make any appropriations at all or
consent to an increase all around. We trust,
however, chat the House will keep stiff
backbone. II the Senate shall insist upon
exorbitant appropriations, the House should
refuse to pass the bills in any form, even
though an extra session of Congress shall be
rendered necessary in consequence. The
wheels of the government cannot be seri-
ousiy blocked by refusal to appropriate
exorbitant amounts. At most month will
elapse between the close of the present Con-
gress and the beginning of an extra session
of the next Congress. 1t should therefore
be the policy of all Democrats to obstruct
appropriations that are deemed to be Excess
sive, no matter what the con sequences may
be. 1t is time that the Republican party,
in its career of extravaganza, was brought to
terms with round turn.
