thus defy the laws of the land and public sen
ment7
"In Alabama there are about 5000 Repub-
licans, If so many. Could there be a more
absurd proposition than that these few men
should control the State, because they might
possibly be able to control the negroes in
their votingP The Northern Republicans
know as well as we do that these negroes have
no care for the government. He never
reasoned out a single idea of governmental
policy to see what he should do when called
upon to vote upon it. There could be no
fairness in turning the State over to these
men by giving the negroes the privilege Of
voting"
Here we see that there is not only a solid
sectional South, made solid by fraud and VIC
lence, freely admitted, but a deliberate dis
reimbursement of the colored voters, on &C
count of whom this same sectional South is
awarded thirty-seven votes in the cleo
the number accorded Indiana. Suppose
the Republican party were sectional" as
charged. and it should attempt to put into
practice the methods so boldly employed
throughout the South-suppose, in short, the
Republican party should initiate the Demo
cratic party of the South-would we not then
have some idea of what 'tsectionalism" meansY
And would we not have a better realization of
the infamy of the Sectional South, made
and maintained in the manner so familiar to

the Democratic party for insisting on solid
sectionalism, or the Republican party for

as its representative. has rendered to the new
South the fullest assurance of fellowship and
mutual interests. AT the very time these
friendly oYertures were made there was not a
man, North or South, but knew in his heart
that the Democratic party, in maintaining the
hateful "sectionalism" of a solid South, robbed
the Republican party and its candidates of not
less than thirty-seven to fifty electoral votes,
and of so many members of Congress. Can

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INsTRU0-
TON.

There are a few teachers, 80 it is said, who,
anxious to plaoate the powers that be, favor
the reelection of John w. Holcombe to the
Office of Superintendent of Public instruction.
If an argument in the same line Of action be
wanted. it may be suggested that a presi-
Dental campaign year is a good one to stand
from under the Democratic party, for it gen.
orally gets a fall, and falls hard. The people
of Indiana are tired of the '.favorite son" bust
ness, so long carried on by Thomas A. Hen
drioks on a very limited capital and with
meagre results. Indiana is going to
keep in line with the other loyal
States until some solution of the solid South
is had. The men interested in the manu-
featuring industries Of the State are not going
to cast their influence in favor of tearing
them down. The loyal and patriotic people
who saved this State from Democratic CON
s~piracies during the war, and the other
thousands who, at the front, helped to save
the Union from a Democratic rebellion, are

not going to help elect a libertine and a cop
perhead. In short. every indication is that
Indiana is going Republican, and school
teachers who propose to throw sop to the
Democratic Cerberus will have their labor for
their pains.
But there are ample and good reasons for
the defeat of Mr.. Holcombe, involving, as it
would, the election of Barnabas G. Hobbs,
one of the leading educators of the country,
a man of years and deep learning, most richly
supplied with every requisite to make him en-
inently the man for the place. Representing,
as he does, the best elements of society, he
should receive the hearty support of every
Republican in the State, every man who
would elevate to that office a man of ex-
p~erience and executive ability. There is in
volved in this campaign an issue of personal
honor. The opposition has headed its ticket
with the name of a man whose presence is a
pollution and whose private life dare not be
written. Monstrous as it may appear, his
very H~cenllousneSs Is regarded as an CLEMENT
of strength. 1t will never do to let d man
like Mr.. Hobbs fall behind the majorities
given the rest of the ticket. Every vote
given him can be cast with the fullest assur-
ance that his integrity, his morality are of
that high order characteristic of Quakers. In
every respect, intellectually, morally and So
cially. he is ali that could be asked, and good
men owe it to themselves and to society to
stand by him and to see that he is elected by
a majority that shall attest that high esteem
felt for him throughout the State.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND CLEVELAND

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND CLEVELAND,
EIn nv opinion, Cleveland is not a fit mar
for any office, much less that of President Of
the United States"
The words quoted are those Of Michael
Glaspy-"Cleveland is not a fit man for any
Office" Evidently and confessedly Mr.. Glaspy
is an Irishman, and it is reasonable to assume
that he is a Catholic. If a Catholic, his hos
tility to the Democratic nominee is quite
natural; for, of all organizations in the world,
religious or secular, not one looks on a sin like
that Of Cleveland's with so much adherence
and condemnation as does the Catholic Church.
This fact explains the intense feeling of oppo-
sition to Cleveland apparent among Catholics.
The marriage relation is held absolutely indis-
soluble by the Catholic Church, and he OF she
who dishonors it MORALLY offends. The case
of the great Napoleon will be recalled in this
connection. Because of his ambition causing
him to put away Josephine in order to es-
pouse Maria Louisa, he forever forfeited the
support Of the church, and the Pope never
condoned the offense. Napoleon, recog-

THE NEW SOUTH,

The following significant letter, received by
the Journal yesterday, breathing the spirit of
the new South, explains itself. 1t is with
this sentiment that the Republican party is
fully n accord, aud to all, Republicans or
Democrats, who nave come to the realization
that we are one people, with identical business
interests, mutually dependent, the Repub-
lican party extends the right hand of cordial
fellowship. 1t is to this new South that lives
for the future, rather than the old South
grOveling in the bitterness and hatred Of war
memories and rebellion, that the Republican
party hopefully appeals. Th%eresults are sure.
They may not come to full ~fruition this year,
but with the erection of each new factory and
foundry in the South the day draws nearer
when mutually of interest will fuse all into
one harmonious people, intent on the upbuild-
ing Of the Nation and the preservation of the
good things so long enjoyed by the North, and
freely rendered to the rising South. Just as
soon as the commercial prosperity of the
South rises high enough to drown the ignis
fatuus of hoping for a refunding of the cotton
tax, the pensioning of confederate veterans,
and other impossible schemes held up to al
lure the solid South, then will the new South
rise in triumph and an unparalleled era of
prosperity will be ushered in. All signs in
dictate that that day is not far distant
THE FHTrER
ITO the Soldiers:
"The day Of differences between us has
passed, and those who are now fighting the
batt'~" of our country commenced when we
laid our arms and shook hands across
the 'Oloody chasm' in good faith. Theirs is
a paper war, a war of words and pretensions-
ours to bridge over the past and close up in
good-fellowship the division that has widened
into an almost insurEountabl gulf in the
broad stream of political differences which has
separated us. The questions that now divide
us are: a protective tariff as advocated by the
Republican party, or free trade as advocated
by the Democratic party.
1--WE ask you, as thinking, laboring men, to
carefully consider these two questions:
whether this government, with its vast nat
ural resources, is able TO take care of itself,
and protect the interests of its laboring classes
and every branch of trade and manufactures,
or whether we shall throw our markets open
to the competition by the servile and pauper
labor of foreign countries?
owe say, give us protection to all classes of
labor at home; a protection in citizenship at
home and abroad, which we believe will be
fully guaranteed to us by the election of
Blaine and Logan. Fraternally.

WEDNESDAY last was the day set apart by the
Prohibitionists for the Offering up of prayer for
the success af their cause, and business men of
that party were requested TO close up their es-
adjustments, in order to give their whole time
to devotions. One New York gentleman de-
clined to shut his doors, on the ground that he
did not believe in the prayers of men anyway,
and that il elections were to be carried by that
means, enough women, who had nothing else to
do, were engaged in prayer. He declared him
self in favor of giving women their political
rights to that extent, and. in fact, of turning
that portion of the campaign entirely over TO
them. 1t is very evident that, even after st.
