THE DUTY CT SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS.
Atlanta Constitution: More important
than the reason Of Cleveland's defeat is
the duty OF southern Democrats for the
future.
Whist shsn we do?
There is but one answer to this Ques-
ton. Draw the Democratic lines all the
closer, and against internal division or
external pressure, keep the party ranks
unbroken. This advice, written and re-
written In the Constitution, is reiterated
this morning By distinguished southern
leaders from al quarters Of the sou.h.

POSSIBILITIES CT kaPUBLICAN POLICY,
New Orleans Piceyune: If the control
Of the Fifty first Congress shall be escer-
tsined to have passed into the hands Of
the Rspu blican party, and this seems 70
be the aspect of the situation which now
confronts Us, we OF the south will be
forced TO seek such terms and TO accept
such results rs may, according to the
spirit and temper OF the vic.ors f.ll to our
lot. In this emergency we must endesv-
or IS much as possible, 20 obtain 8 fore
csst OF the intentions Of the Triumphant
Republicans on such questions of policy
as msy concern our section. The Re-
publican party is the only great
political party in the history Of the coun-
try that was wholly sectional in its con-
stifutlon, aims and ends, and the south
having felt the weight Of its heavy hand
can hardly fail to experience some anxiety
az to what is to result from the sudden
elevation OF its old oppressors to almost
unlimited power.
Perhaps there is ia the Union no grea'
political journal which has taken such
su active part In sectional pSrty advance
mert IS has the Commercial Gazette of

sentative Of two violent Republican
