SOLIDITY OF THE SOUTH.

racy, and it cannot be otherwise
Since the close of the war-seventeen
years ago-there has been no time
during all that period when the Dem
ocratic party has not been her stead
fast friend, aiding and assisting her
against the tyranny and outrages of
the Republican party. In the days
of military rule, Democracy was her
friend: in the days Of carpet bag mis-
rule, the Democracy stood fast by the
South, and in these days, when the
effort is being once more made by the
Republican party to reduce the South
from her present prosperous condition
by restoring her to the greedy clutches
of mongrel crew of hungry carpet
baggers. scallawaggers and negroes,
the Democracy of the country as rep
resented in the halls of Congress,
stands solidly up in her defense, con-
testing for every foot of ground. The
south would indeed be recreant to eve
ry instinct of gratitude that character
ICES brave and chivalrous people, if
she did not recognize the services of
her friends by supporting them; and
hence she is solid for the democracy.
She is more solid now than ever be-
fore, and for the reason, that the spirit
of radicalism towards the south has
never been more intolerant, nor more
notably manifest. She has witnessed
in the past few months a system of
political prosecutions inaugurated in
South Carolina, for the purpose of stir
ring up sectional hate and prejudice
Juries were packed in order that con-
victions might result, and picture of
lawlessness might be presented to the
North, that would again stir up the
passion of the people of that section.
Then, again, the recent outrages COM
mitted against the south in the House
of Representatives, by which Southern
Congressman under the arbitrary rul-
ings of the radical speaker, are re-
moved from the seats to which they
were elected by the people, in order
that the republican majority may be
increased in the House, so that they
may be enabled to carry out with i'm
punity their well-planned schemes of
corruption and jobbing, and break
down if possible, the solid support of
the south for democracy.
But these schemes, so far as they ex-
pect them to affect this latter result
will be futile. The radicals cannot
gain the South by outrage and hostil
ity. Had the republican party exhib-
tied any signs Of friendship for the
south during the many years that have
elapsed since the close of the civil strife,
the people of the south would have ap-
preciated the same, and there would
have been no solid south But it can
not be expected that our people will,
spaniel like, lick the hand that strik-
es them down. Men of the Malone
stamp, who are willing to barter away
principle and sentiment for place and
power, are, thank God few in numbers
in the south. The people of the south
are willing to suffer, rather than sacri-
fee their conception of right, and in
consequence, no matter what persecu-
tion may be worked against them, they
will stand solid in their support of the
National Democracy, because in good
report and evil report it has always
exhibited steadfast friendship for
the south.-Norfolk Virginian.

The completed report of the Depart

of crops for the month of July shows
that there Is an increased area of po-

price. This increase amounts to about
7 per cent. Condition is also high,
falling little short of 100 anywhere,
and averaging lO2.

A New Agricultural Society.

Commenting at the close of its late exhi-
bition in Montpelier upon the probability
that the state fair association would be
true TO its nomadic habits and would go
elsewhere in search of pastures green,' and
shekels, the WATERMAN expressed the hope
that new agricultural association would
be formed here which should embrace the
central Vermont region within the limits
Of its organization. We are pleased to see
the idea of such an association revived and
advocated by Mr.. Chaplin in his communi-
cation in another column. The subject
should be discussed at the meeting Of the
Washington county association on Satur-
day and measures initiated to secure the
realization of the project. Such an associa-
ton would derive prestige from its exhibit
tons at the capital of the state, and by in
Guiding country contiguous to the county and
easily communicating with Montpelier by
railway or by the valleys would experience
the benefits which would accrue from a
larger membership and wider range of ex-
hibits and competition. 1t will be mis-
fortune to the farmers in all this section OF
the state and TO all other classes of the com
munity il some vigorous comprehensive or
ganization do not come into existence to
supply the place made vacant by the de-
psrture of the state tramp association. If all
will act with wise liberality and will labor
with united zeal and determination, a new or
ganization can be formed which will unite
all classes and sections and will in its success
full operation satisfy the aspirations of all
for society creditablein the extent, streng tt
and character of its organization and benef
cent in the advantages it will confer.

II. Dubois of West Randolph for the state
treasuryship, first made by the WATERMAN
a week ago, is warmly received throughout
the state.
THE Springfield Republican very properly
denominates Rev. s. w. Dixie of Royalton

pays him the compliment of quoting Target y
from recent article of his in the New York
Independent.
SPRINGFIELD Republican "John A. Page
who has held the office of state treasurer in
Vermont since 1866, don't want another
election, and it looks as if w. II. Du Bots
was to succeed him. In Mr.. Page the state
will lose a fiduciary officer of the highest
character"
SPRINGFIELD Republican 4" The eulogy of
Mr.. Blaine upon the martyred Garfield, Mon
day, was worthy of the occasion, fine and
discriminating analysis of character, low
ing and beautiful tribute to his greatness
1t will rank in the first class Of the funeral
orations of American literature. -
SPRINGFIELD republican: at is hard to
see how our Green Mountain neighbors are
going to lose one congressman by the new
apportionment, when they haven't had a
full-grown representative in the national
house since Charles W. Willard retired in
1875. Dump the machine into Lake Cham
plain, brethren, and instead of losing one
you can gain two. Get the best"

AN ENGLISH ENDoRsEMENT.-Th cur

say about President Arthur:
"A man of higher character, or il it may be
added, of greater accomplishments and fitness for
his office, never sat in the presidential chair His
first appointments are now admitted to be better
than those which were made by his predecessor
for the same posts. Senator Frelinghuysen, the
new secretary OF state or foreign secretary, is a
man OF great ability, Of most excellent judgment
and Of the highest personal character. lie stands

the nomination OF the new encouragement was

to the danger Of accepting without question the
