tllepurpose of preserving the balance
oil power after The next apportion-
ment, when the political domain
shifts from East to West. ~
The tremendous problem now con-
fronting the two parties and all
sections is, will the administration of
Mr. Garfield be, in case Of a control
'ot congress, modelled upon that.o
Hayes, or dictated by Grant and
Conkling, with Chandeliers spirit as
inspiring goblin.
Until we know the exact nature of
that administration WE remain in
allegiance; meanwhile we may as
well preparefor the worst, lbut hope
for the best
Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 5.-The
MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER
says; The lawlcssness and opprcs-
sion, proiligacy and plumber Of the
Republican party compelled solidity
of the South. To that solidity, more
than ever before, she must remain
steadfast and inmovable. Under
our benign hume rule we have pros
pered to degree that has astenished \
our friends and confused our enc
mics.
There need not be, and will not be
any let up in the wonderful progress
Of the. South under any regime,
whatever it may be, which the Re.
publican party seek to siinaugurate.
1t Ca not indeed but prove ablessing
to the extent that it will induce
great self reliance great ,cncrgylandd
wiser efforts in developing the won
deriul wealth and unlimited re-
sources which kind Providence has |
bestowed upon the sunny South.
The sun will still shine, genial,
gentle showers viii fall, seed time
and harvest will bring their bless

Time to be power in the CONNER
rial world, while our coal and iron
and other minerals will yield wealth

Let the Solid Soutll-solid always
for home rule and hmlest govern
ment7-now give its greatest vigil
ance and wisest coi,nsels, not to
National politics, or conflicts or pas
sions Of national parties, but to the
mp and advancing of cured
vocational, and moral interests. Here
the Soutl,iis and must continue to he
solid as her glorious mountains,
strong and increasing as the flow of
ler own bread and beautiful streams.
1t may begthat Garfield will prove.
! very different man from what his
past record indicates. As far as the |

One thing is certain, if he is half
