his remarks by quotations which he

said the Democratic cry OF having n
Solid South was one Of the greatest rea-
sons why we shord have Solid North
| to overcome il.
| His illustrations of the manner in
which the elections were conducted in
the South were very pointed. He called
attention TO the fact that in elections
held few years ago the Republicans
cast very large vote in some OF the
Southern States but in order to obtain n
Solid South this vote had been entirely
wiped out while the Democratic vote
had not materially increased, which fact
in itself proved that the elections were
not honestly conducted and that the Re
publicans were the only losers.

thoroughly awake and ready to do and
