New YORK, May 30-The New York
Times publishes twenty-0ne columns OF
answers sent To three questions asked of
one hundred editors in the rural districts
OF Alabama, Arkansas Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina
and Texas, on May s. The questions
were: Are the southern people still
solid for the Democratic party? How
do they like AfthHr's administration i?
Are they for tariff? The substance of
the answers is uniformly that the south
is solidly Democratic, the independent
movement amounting to little. The
states named are utterly disappointed in
Arthur. whom they regard Us u Repub-
lican partisan enemy, who has ruined
the hopes which the South had implic-
lily formed of the truly national policy
Garfield had promised aud the south be
Iieycd he would carry ont. The south
is solid for the tariff for revenue only.
In Mississippi tie people are pleased
with Arthur's policy i'll the Mississippi
river improvement, hut that won't
change their views, as they look upon
the promised improvements as their
rights.

that when the people have elected a man for two
terms he should retire and give place to some
one else, unless there is no one to be found who
is able to dill ths Office. The position OF county
attorney is one Of great importance. and should
he filled by u good attorney, and Mr.. Blackwell

"OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN"

From the Independence. NO., Progress.l
II the democracy of jackson county
can unite on q nominee, the question is
about as good as settled. Ii there IS to be
discord in our ranks at home, it would,
perhaps, be we'll to look elsewhere for
u candidate, and In looking over the
field we most naturally ask the ques.
ton: What section Of the district is best
entitled to furnish the candidate ? La
fayette county undoubtedly. She al.
ways returns a large democratic major
lily. aud hos been mere sighted in the
distribution OF hon0rs than any other
section OF the state. Her material is as
goeu as Can be found in the state. She
has several candidates. who aspire to
congressional honors. one Of whom we
know 10 be especially worthy in every
respect. and that enc is Mr.. Xenophon
Ryland. He 10 young strong. vigorous,
with mental powers second to no man
in the state. As an orator he is the
peer OF our best talent. As q democrat
ic worker his record as an elector on The
Hancock ticket would be sufficient. In
that canvass he made more speeches
and better ones, and did more hard
work for the democracy than any other
nan in the state. We have known him
long and well and we know that his
private lie is that of a Christian gen.
tleman. He IS exactly the sort of a
man who ought to be sent to congress,
where his moral character would be
an example. n his ever-ready
rebuke OF vice would. be a terror
to some of u wine-bibbing, bribe-tak-
ing congressman. jackson county can
control the nomination II she is we'll
united, but ii we find it impossible to
unite. why not take the choice OF some
other countyP We could scarcely do
better than to give Lafayette county the
choice, and BY the time the next con-
gresham is to be chosen perhaps we
will have no cause to fear discord.
