the state. He had fought for
protective tariff in the senate, as his
father had done in other days, but if those
who had heretofore supported the republi-
can ticket wanted to stab him, he was
ready to receive the blow, and he would
he had supported it. "If you want to xiii
the party we will all go to destruction TO.

senator. He assured his visitors he was

THE TIMES FEELERs.
NEW YORK, May D:-The Times printed
fifty answers TO the following questions ad.
dressed to 100 editors of Democratic news
PAGERS at the county seats in Alabama
Arkansas. Florida, Georgia Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Texas:

principles and persons sustained by the

administration of President Arthur?
lllru-lS there in VOur moi oh hnrboOb
any decided expression in regard to the
tariff lfso, what is its effect?
The summary OF answers to the first
question is AS follows: That the south is
solid in its affection for the democratic
party, and it may be laid down as made ab-
solutely certain by these observation the
masses still look to the democratic party
as unfolding their best interests, mate
rial and political. On all national
issues the people are united. PerhaDs\
e.fourth of the letters speak of
dissatisfaction with the methods of leaders,
but the writers are very careful to state
that the people are in full harmony with
party principles and will forget all inferen-
ces in defending them. The only two re-
sponses to the first clause of the first aues-
tion Is the answer made not entirely on
local issues. In two or three states legisli-
tion is not entirely satisfactory 10 the
whole OF the party, as for example the stock
Law IN South Carolina and the prohibition
law in North Carolina have divided the
party, but this division is a state ma. ter.
This should be lost sight of in
considering national issues. They cppose
republicans as seeking alliance with the
colorcd man and putting him in power
over them. They assert that the ignorance
%! tLdt Face units them 10 control agd tor
supremacy, and would annihilate al hope
ofpTosperity.
R,ples 10 the second question in al the
letters say. with reference 20 the hopes Of
the south from the Garfield administration,
that they seem likely TO fail. The people,
however, trusted that President Arthur
would carry out the policy OF his
| predecessor. Disappointment has followed,
and more than half the letters speak Of
/ nim as narrow partisan, seeking only the
/ / tcrests OF his party, as one from whom
| nothing beneficial TO the south can come.
| Appointments to office in the south, as a
rule, are the great cause Of dispappoint-
ment. and are regarded as showing that
! Arthur IL not friendly dsposed. From the
| three states of Mississippi, Louisiana and
ArkaI sas only come expressions Of praise,
and these are almost entirely due TO the
| Mississippi levee proclamation, and even
! then generally mingled with words Of dis
| trust. The truth appears 10 be that they
are too busy TO take any interest in the
matter, and being chiefly agriculturists,
that subject naturally attracts much less
attention than in other sections Of the
country.
The answers 10 the third question show
th q with one or tWO exceptions little dis
Gus ioa oftarin is reported among the peo-
pie.
