Ivicks burg Special. Oct. 16.
The people of the South all along the line
appear to be regaining the buoyancy that
distinguished them politically before the
blanket of the Indiana defeat fell ooldly upon
their hopes. Their sudden recovery from
dependency is quite as remarkable as was
the news from the North on Oct. IL. Every
man who has anything to say about politics
everywhere throughout Mississippi that the
Times correspondent has visited, or passed
through, is busy rearranging the Democratic
ranks for the great approaching November
struggle which nearly every man of discern
ment believes will decide whether or not the
Democratic party will ever again attain ma
tlonal importance or existence. The chief
dread expressed by the leaders is that the
Republicans may elect working majority
OF both houses of Congress, as well as their
President, in which event it ia feared
that radicalism and carpet
baggery would again become
rampant at the South. The Herald, of this
city, the leading conservative or semi indie.
pendent Democratic newspaper of Missis-
sippi, edited by Hon. Chas. E. Wright, one
OF the most prominent men politically and
profes sionally in the State, will speak of the
outlook from the average Southern Estand-
point, to morrow, as follows:
The two great parties have fought the
preliminary skirmishes, and although the
advantage is somewhat with the Republi.
cans, the decisive battle is yet to be fought.
In the skirmishes the Democrats get the ad-
vantage In the East and the Republicans in
the West. The Democrats carried Maine.
This was as unexpected as the Republicans
carrying Indiana. Ohio went as all parties
thought it would go. Considering that Gar.
field is native of that State, it has not
gone 30 heavily Republican as che Republi-
cans had right to hope. The observant
ones claim that the tariff question had q
good deal to do with Lander's defeat in In.
diana. If this is 80, it need not cast the
Democrats down, for they have right to
expect increased strength in the free
trade States. The great State of New York
is free trade State, and it is a Democratic
State. The party has only to make an of.
fective fight in the other close States to
snatch victory from defeat. But Indiana is
not lost to the Democracy by any means. II
in round numbers there are 100000 votes il
that State the Republicans have carried 1t by
barely per cent. A change of one vote in
a hundred will give the State to the Demo
Gratis. We have no doubt that the Republi-
cans were advantaged much more than this
percentage by the deputy United States mar
shals and the importation of fraudulent
Votes. As there is no eli ion for Congress
men in this State in November, they will
not have the deputy marshals to aid them
and means can be taken to prevent fraudu.
lent voting. The great leaders in the State
appreciate these facts, and they are setting
the Democracy of the Union, worthy ex
ample in springing forth at once to prepare
for the battle that is to be fought by
the whole of both armies in November
There Is one point that has been closely at
tended to by the Republicans that the Demo
Gratis must see to at once. The National Dem
ocratic committee must have the sinews Of
war. The party in each State should be as
sessed in sufficient amount to fully supply
every possible necessity of money. There il
time yet to do this, and have the money ir
the hands of the committee few days be
fore election. IT this is doue to offset the
advantages the Republicans gain in this way
there is yet good chance for Hancock tc
be the next President.
The foregoing is about as truthful an ex
position of Southern feeling under the cir
cumstances as it is possible to rake up
Active political work will be resumed in al
the districts of the State, and the excitenen
will reach fever heat by the end of thi
