One word here before we consider
these statistics. Mr.. Curtis says
1.-The south is solid either Tor a sectional
purpose or because of resentment. 1t is
made solid not by conviction, but by CO.
ercion and cheating" This statement
u that it IS nnpatriotic not to be
republican. The south is not solid
against the north it is not solid against
the union; it Is only solid against the
republican party. Why should it not
be? Many of the best men of the re-
publican party-its iounders-left it be-
cause of the crimes it committed in the
name OF reconstruction. The list is a
long me. 1t includes Greeley, the
founder of the Tribune; Summer, the
statesman and patriot; Schurz, the
smooth-tongued orator; Davis, the jur-
list; T%rumbuil. Blair. Hoadley. Brown,
Palmer, Duolittle and a host of others.
If these men felt for the sufferings of the
southern people, is it strange that those
people should ieel Tor themselves !? The
south is not solidfor a sectional purpose.
1t is solid to hurl from power a party
which hates. continually upbraids and
necessarily m~isrepresents it. 1t is solid
because of cheating. but not such cheat
ing as is ALLEGED by miserable, paid PERU
rers, white and black, as existing at the
polls it is solid because OF the cheating
carpet baggers and thieves. who found it
comparatively free from debt. and left it
overwhelmed with lraudulently impos-
ed obligations. for which it received no
benefit. The following table will be Of
interest in this connection:
