Rev Leonard Bacon, d. d., who has lat
terly been an ''indeperdent'' in politics,
writes as follows: "A Solid South made
solid by outrageous violence and shameless
fraud, is in alliance with political organiza-
ton at the North. The success of that alli-
ance. disastrous as it would be to the bust
ness of the whole country, would be most of
all disastrous to the revived and grow ing
prosperity of the South and to the new civil
lization which is in progress there. Let that
alliance be for this once thoroughly defeated,
and we may hope that the defeat will be
final. The South will be more prosperous,
more wealthy, more intelligent and more
free in proportion to the thOroughness with
which the fire-eating and buldozing domina-
ton there shall have been vanquished by the
votes of Northern freemen."
