THE Vicksburg (lIiss.) Herald says: "In 4,
last Congress the South was bascly betrayed
by Speaker sam Randall, man who owed h6
position to the Southern. press and Southern
votes We have had enough of him, though
he claims TO be Democrat. And we have had
enough Of all those who are unwilling to treat
the South as IN equal. II we are the allies Of
Northern Democrats ve saanot aud will not
| sacrincs our vSai interest to their silly fears
and broken promises The cloud In the horizon
Is much larger than 4 mans hand, oven now.
II the next Presidential election rolls around
with the poor South still pleading to hor
friends ~ for only justice, the great race will
be thrown in favor Of those who are prepared
to make promises aud keep them"
lT is the old fight over again. Tho year 1873
repeats the history of 1872. The Liberals and
tho regulars again contend for tho control Of
the Republican party. Now the Liberals have
control of the custOm-h0u aud tho dispense
tion of Federal patronage is In their hands |;
while In 1879 this power was in tho hands OF
the regulars. General Merritt now, as then,
marshals the Liberal forces, and Senator Conk-
ling generals the regulars in person.--Aibany
argus (Dem.)
