DEMOCRATS DEFENDING oN TIE SOLID sorrH
The success of Cleveland is alone possible by the
aid of the solid South, which Is expected 10 cohtl-
bnte 1873 electoral votes In that case the old Rebel
clement Will dominate the country as it did before
tho war and there is nothing in the Democratic
platform 10 show that the party could be 1ened
upon to prevent the cx-Coniederates from obtaining
pensions at the expense Of tax IeNed on the

the Union soldiers " LncOn's hlrelings,' could

Republican leaders has offered good
opportunity to exchange views on the political
situation and learn the probable result All agree
that the state is certain to give good Republican
majority next month. This result, however, can
only be brought about by hard work. But that
work will be done in the way Of speaking organ
izing and educating the people the issues OF the
hour.
