not need the vote of any Southern State
two years hence in order to be elected.
Troy Times.
Rsy~ 1t is understood that Mr.. Tilden
favors Mr.. Hendricks for the Berlin
Mission, or Mr.. Thurman-hei isn't par
ticular which. -Bufdlo EDpress.
Bay~ The South itself has reopened
the Southern question. If it wishes to
close that question forever, it must
cease its efforts to destroy personal
liberty, to disfranchise voters, to carry
elections by terror and fraud.-POrttG'ld
Press.
BsE~ The blunder which has been COM
mitted in South Carolina this year in
making that State "too unanimous" is
worse than crime. 1t has cost us at
the polls many votes and will cost us
many more unless the habit is given up.
- Troy Press Dem. ....... .....
ASr The bulldozers increased the
Democratic majority in South Carolina
from 1, 100 to 10000 in two years. At
this rate the ballot-boxes will have to
be increased to the size of hogsheads to
record the means and courage of
the party in 1880. --New York Tribune.
Ray We have yet to see the first ipdi-
cation among those who mos the opin-
ions and direct the policy of the Democ-
racy, of dissatisfaction with the conduct
of the Southern bulldozers and ballot
box suffers, or, in fact, with election
frauds and rascalities of any kind inur-
ing to the benefit of their party. Troy

pESgH We think the time has come at
last when the miserable fools who think
there is no further treatment necessary
for this Southern business than to turn
up their noses and say " bloody shirt, 4"
have ceased to hold the public ear. The
thing is to be Investigated, and the
truth, whatever it may be, found out

Bss~ We trust Mr.. Bayard, of Della
ware, will take the best care of his
health and avoid late hours, wet feet
and all undue excitement of any kind.
For it begins to look as if the Demo-
cratic party, in case it also lost him,
would be entirely out of candidates for
the next Presidential nomination. Al

Bayn One of the gentler sex, a fair
creature from RipOn, Wisconsin, is
| haunted by the notion that she has been
elected queen of the United States of
America on the Greenback ticket, and
she has made formal demand in person
upon the present usurper of the White
| House. As result she is hurried off
to mad-house. The poor old woman

BE1g- The "Solid South" says Mr..
Henry Watterson in the last number OF
the NOrtIt-A american ReUietU, SIS a re-
action against prescription attended by
misgovernment, and a protest against
the ever-recurring menace of Federal
interference. The Solid North, we
may add, is reaction against abused
generosity attended by yclass-supremacy
and protest against the ever-recurring
menace of Confederate domination.
Bsg~ The South appears determined
to array that section solidly i'll defense
of force and lawlessness, and the Dem.
ocratic politicians of the North appear
willing to lend their aid to the scheme.
There can be, and there will be, but
one response, and that will be solid
North. The result of a trial of strength
between the sections is not doubtful
The lines have met before, and the out
come is a matter of history. That il
will be different on second trial il
not ut all probable. - Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Dsg~ The position of the Northern
Democracy regarding the infamou'
election frauds in the South is precisely
similar to their position in the old day
of slavery. They are estopped from
saying anything because their existence
as a party depends on these outrages
In the old slavery times, Democratic
papers either kept silent in regard t.
slavery, or else openly defended it witt
its multitudinous horrors; so, now they
either do not condemn or else openl.
defend the gigantic frauds practiced ii
the South under the pretense of an elec
: ton. 1t is a most humiliating position
J to be placed in, or would be if Northern
Democrats had any manhood; but the,
have played tail to the Southern dog 81
long that nothing humiliates them. =

Bsls- If the South were not solid upol
the rights of the black citizen, nov
clearly defined to be summed up in tn
privilege of voting the Democratic
ticket, the same old solidity would ap
pear on some other question. Opposi
ton to the collection of the whisky TIA,
as oppressive, illegal, and unconstitu
: tional would solidify a considerable
portion Of the Southern soil. Then tn
great Southern jobs-railroad, canal

dating and hardening influence. |
these were out of the way, there woul'
be the war claims. The chances ar
that the South will remain solid unit
overwhelmed by the over-bearini
: growth of the North, and reduced from
a section to quarter-section.- Cinctn
