THE SOLID SOUTH SoLIDLY SOLE
FOR GOOD CAUSE.


The call for Republican speakers
and Il bar'l in the South will not be
needed by the campaign committee.
They think there is more capital in
keeping up the false claim that the Re-
publican party in the South is not
permitted to conduct a canvass and do
it's fair share of voting. Democratic
solidity in that section is the direct
and natural result of Radical rascality,
as illustrated in the era Of good steal
ing The negroes, since the carpet
bagging adventures ceased to lead
them by the ears, are disposed to CO.
operate with the whites in trying to
build up the South. There is none of
the bitter, bad feeling of the old time.
Peace reigns, and both races are pros
pering. The assertion that there is
bulldozing or intimidation of the
blacks is utterly false. There is so good
authority as Gen. Grant for the state
ment that there is as much loyalty,
tolerance of opinion and freedom OF
political action in the South as in the
North. One reason for the decadense
of Republicanism in that section is
the fact that, since the Democrats got
control of the House, there have been
no hundred millions of the peoples
money sent down there to build up that
party, as was the case when Morton
and his school ruled in Congress.

Disappearamce of Crime.

We understand that the petition of
the citizens to Judge Chrisman not to
hold the present term of court, was
among other reasons urged upon the
ground that there was no crime in the
county. Oldcases are pending against
parties for bnlldozing and other crimes
growing out of that unfortunate aber-
ration of the public mind now nearly
two years ago, but that this ofense
had ceased and there was little or no
crime in the county. This speaks
we'll for the temper with which the
present State Government, as well as
the good people of Lincoln, have dealt
with this distemper. Gov. Stone was
urged to put this down with arms.
That sagacious and cool-headed man
declined to interfere. and 10! we have
peace and perfect quiet between
the races.-Brookhaven Ledger.
