The Solid South Broken.

The victory of the readjuster ticket in
Virginia causes portentous rent in the
solid democratic South. Since the reign
of terror and fraud in that section, the
Soutl. has, until the recent election in vir-
ginia, presented solid impregnable
front in favor of the democratic
party. This menaced the country in the
last Presidential election with the
return of rebel rule at Washington.
A less number OF electoral votes than
Tilden received at the North in 1876
would have elected Hancock in 1880. This
would have given the control Of the gov
ernment To the South. and the rebel
brigadiers would have had the opportuni-
ty so long and so eagerly sought to ''get
even'' with the Yankees for the humiIia-
ion of 1865.
But after this defeat of the democracy
in Virginia we shall probably hear no
more of the Solid South. A breach has
been made which we believe can never be
closed up. The fight has been bitter. All
that the democracy could do to hold pow
er in the State has been done but their
power has been broken. The readiustcrs
have destroyed their bridges behind them.
They will never 90 back to the democrat
ic party, and Virginia has passed away as
a democratic State, not to return az least
until the question OF a fair, open and free
ballot for all, without distinction of color
or condition shall be finally and irrevoca-
bly, settled on the broad basis of equal
rights.
The readiusters have elected their State
ticket by some $1,000 majority, and they
also have majority in the Legislature. so
that they can and probably will send
straight republican to the senate in place
of Senator Johnston, and essentially aid TO
strengthen the slender republican major
ity in that body. But this victory will not
end with Virginia. 1t will have an i'm
mense effect upon other Southern States,
rousing the republicans and other oppo-
nents the tyranncal rule Of the bourbons
to active and determined measures to
throw of the CALLING yoke fastened upon
them and assert their rights and man
hood with courage and success.
The victory in Virginia is of the great
est importance. 1t is a mighty revolu-
tion. 1t is the opening wedge that will
split the democracy in every Southern
State We can laugh at the transient
democratic success in New York when
we see what grand achievement we
have in Virginia.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1881-11-11

This is giving the democrats every
State that they can claim. When the re-
suit is closely analyzed it looks even bet
ter for the republicans than appears in the
comparison by States. If the democrats
claim victory in New York their success
Is transient. unimportant and incomplete
The republicans have gained a Surrogate
in New York city. have elected rcrubli-
can Mayor in the democratic city of
Brooklyn and have made Il respectable
fight considering that Mr.. Conkling and
his especial friends suked in their tents
and encouraged the democracy what they
could.
The republicans have carried Virginia
by hard fighting and broken the back of
the Solid South. This is clear. decisive
and important gain which sweeps the State
clean and puts republican into the United
States Senate in place of Confederate
General.
In New Jersey also the republicans
gain a Senator in place of McPherson,
This with the senator gained in Virginia
makes our majority in the senate secure.
Nobody but the remarkable matiema-
tician of the New York World can figure
anything from these results satisfactory
