SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
Views Expressed by Congressman
Bright = Grant the Best-Hated
Man in the South.
Washington Cor. of the Boston Herald

Washington Cor, of the Boston Herald.l
Mr.. Bright, of Tennessee, a member
whose many years Of service in the
House entitle his opinions to a re-
spectful hearing, talked to-day at
length on the present political situa-
ton. He does not think it possible
that the South could support Grant
for President under any conceivable
circumstances. Grantism means. he
said, oentralism of the most anti.
Democratic kind. To elect him to a
third time meant an abandonment of
the teachings aud examples of Jeffer-
son, and all the other fathers, Yea.
more, an abandonment of the provis
ions of the Constitution itself. The
South cannot do this without com
hitting a wantonly foolish and crimi-
nal act. Grant was the best hated
man in the South, that is by indiyidu-
ais. The South might, however, in
time become utterly. worn out by re.
peated failures to be properly reoog
nized and understood by the North.
In that event, he could not answer for
the consequences, They might give
up the aghtand surrender to the enc
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1879-11-29

my, but be thought that the time had
not Yet come. Bright is particularly
severe on the Northern wing
Of the Democratic party. Il
is for them, he says, to take
the lead this winter. They must step
forward aud be prepared to shoulder
their proportion of the responsibility
for whatever may be determined on.
The policy of the coming session
should depend on what the Northern
Democrats are willing to undertake.
The South will again put forth its
strength and make a gallant fight, but
its allies in the North must come for
ward with a guarantee of what they
can do. Let them cav I'VE will
promise New York and Indiana" and
the South will perform its part of the
contract, but that section is tired of
hearing that the North has been
frightened out Of its boots BY
the bogus hobgOblin stories of outrages
in the South. Mr.. Bright does not
think. however, that the Democracy
Will lind 1t possible to give up the
issues of the extra session or to let
them drop for the present. They are,
he says, vital issues. The Democratic
attitude was eminently just, patriotic
and constitutional, and it dare not
abandon it. He did not fear the YER
dict Of the country, and was willing to
stand or fall by it. Mr.. Bright
thought the disposal of Grant as a
salaried head of the army would not
effect anything. He would come out
of his retirement for so brilliant a
prize al the Presidency Just as he did
once before. He couldn't be bottled
in that way.
