The Imnregha Ic South.

Memphis Appel
The talk about breaking the solid
ity of the South and transferring
Tennessee, North Carolina sud ether
Southern States to the Republicans
party is not believed by even those
who engage in the silly twaddle.
James G.. Bla has much of the
dash, energy and Impetuosity which
characterized the SoWiAerR people.
There is much about him tkNt they
admire, but he has led tire van in
prosecuting eliminating and yalify
ing the South. and rs a partisan lac
is the most obnoxious of az the Re
publican leaders. lie has never
been a favorite even with Southern
Republicans. Thew defeated his
nomination in 1876 and in 1880,
and majority of Southern
Republicans opposed his nomination
IN the recent convention, Blaine is
not the man 20 break the solid South.
Indeed, his pomiuaiion makes the
South more solid than ever, for he is
an extreme Stalw@rt, and would not
hesitate at any outrage upon the
South to perPetuate his power and
his party. The South will cast a
solid vote fer the Democratic nominee
for President, and will remain Dem
-ocratic fer many years to cOOe, Ger
talnly so long rs IL represents Che il,-
telligent clement of the South, while
the Republican party Is made up Of
the ignorance and office seekers of
the South. The South has been far
more prosperous under Democratic
rule. In the days of reconstrul tioR
the South was pillaged, and Blaine
was the leader in sustaining these
r5bberies. One by one the South
ern States threw eff the Republican
yoke-emerged from the darkness of
persecution and adversely into the
peace Of sunlight and Prosl*erity.
The terriers Of USe TErst will serve in
The future to hold the Southern peo-
pile together more closely than ever.
Murders and lawlessness have occur
red in the South just rs they do in
the North. But there are fewer trag-
edies in the South than there would
be be if the Republicans were again
in ICwer. In the South Democracy
means better government, greater in
Clustrial prosperity, happIev social con-
ditiou, peace and forgetfulncss Of
sectional hatreds, and the people do
not propose a change which will re
store the days OF robbery, of outlawry
which desolated the south. Since the
Democrats assembled To power IN all
the southern states there has been
unprecedented prosperity, cotton
factories have been built, spin
dies have multiplied with pheuomc-
nal rapidity, town and cities have
suddenly sprung up, railroad facilities
have been increased, churches and
schoolhouses have been multiplied aud
EsoJrslatiou is pouring into every com
rnunity from the northern, eastern
aud western states. Under Demo
cratic rule all the southern states stand
oft prominently rs progressive, eHer-
retic and attractive commonwealth.
The south is sOlidly and Impregnably
Democratic because the ma GRITTY,
the intelligent taXpaVing people
know that it is to their best interest to
have Democratic instead of the rule
og the ignorant. negro, led by the
numbering carr ctbagger. Having
Jsihroned had government aud sub
stitrted a good one, it would be stu
s,cDdcus folly to restore to power the
.,,rtv that ruled and ruined the south.
I, clincing to the u, nl0crahc party
IL. southern people are act iusuene
81 bv any feeling Of soctionaiism but
1..aorse such a course contributes 20
thcir prosperity. 1t is wise poI;y
lot well enough alone, and in the
11.,omber election the southern peo-
IN nrove by their votes that this
F, IN. IF carrying southern states for
elaine. the worst and malignant
ILL.,, sonthern people ever had.
