another very little over $500.
The word solid means Compact, 3"

that the South is so politically when
in eleven States there is Republican
vote so great as that given at the late
election. The truth is there are
thousands upon thousands of old reb.
els in the Republican party.

Northern States for the purpose Of

Examine the Figures.

During the late Presidential cam
paign II great deal was said by the
Republicans about the evil effect of
solid South. If the Republican party
was progressive party it would have
learned long ago that the war was
over and the South not solid The cry
of Il solid South" was raised to cover
their schemes of public plumber and
hide their determined purpose to
change the form of our government
An examination of the result of the
late election by States will at least
make it plain to the mind Of Il think
ing man that the solid South never
existed except in the darkened mind
of republicanism. The meaning of
the term solid South" as used by the
Republicans is "that all States south
of the old Mason Il Dixon line were
and still are in rebellion against the
United States government. They
forget that Delaware, Kentucky, Mary
land, Missouri and West Virginia were
never out of the Union. They were
Democratic before the war, loyal to the
Union and the Democratic party dur
ing and ever since the war. For this
reason in the following tables the five
States just named and their vote are
not taken into consideration.
Take, rs shown in the statement, the
eleven States that were actually in re-
bellon and see whether or not there
are any Republicans in those States.
