Grady and the New South.

Henry w. Grady, editor of the Az
lanta Constitution, is contributing a
series of articles on the New South,
to the New York Ledger, the famous
weekly paper founded by Robert Bon.
ner. The first of Mr.. Grady's papers
appeared in the issue of Nov. 16, and
the Others will follow in regular or.
der. Mr.. Grady is, without the pos
sibility of doubt, the greatest living
exponent of southern ideas. He is a
represen tative OF the New South.
He belongs to the generation since
the war. He accepts the results of
the war; He pleads with most
eloquent pen for the New South.
The eloquence of Henry w. Grady,
of the south, is marked, forcible,
beautiful and genuine AS the eloqu-
ence of Robert G. IngersolI of the
north, although the minds of these
great weavers Of thought and words
are devoted to different purposes.
The first of Mr.. Gradys articles in
the New York Ledger outlines those
to follow and is replete with suggest
ion of future growth and prosperity
for that section. He is splerdid
and noble representative os the south
and better equipped than any other
man to present its resources, advan-
tages, loyalty and history to the peo
pie of the nation. His articles in
the New York Ledger will be a rev
alation. They will give the world a
new idea of great section of the re-
public. They will serve to beat
down the barrier of sectional hate
ana prejudice and establish a com.
mon country in sentiment and inter
est. They will show how the north
and south united may grow, prosper
and achieve the best results possible
by forgetting the past and hoping
and working only for the future.
Mr.. Grady's articles should be read
by every man and woman Of the
north and south.

Republican Contests Before
The House.

New Orleans Times Democrat: !:
The Republicans will make desper-
ate efforts at the coming session Of
Congress to unseat number Of
Democratic Representatives and
thus secure the good working
majority they now lack. Their con-
tests are nearly all aimed against
Southern members. There are no
less than seventeen contests, all en-
tered by Republicans, and all but
one in Southern districts, and if the
Republican leaders could have had
their way every Southern district
would have been contested. They
made desperate efforts to induce the
defeated candidates in Louisiana to
contest, and even looked with some
suspicion on Mr.. III. C. Minor be
cause he would not do so. They
succeeded, however, in their efforts
in Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama
and some of the other States in pro
ducing crop Of sixteencontestants.
This Is unprecedented In the his
tory of Congress, and the result of a
Republican majority in the House.
The Chicago Tribune is very can
did about the manner in which the
Republican majority will deal with
the contests, for speaking OF the
Montana affair, and the possibility
of contesting Senators from that
State, it remarks that the United
States Senate having Republican
majority will, of course, seat the
Republican contestants.
1t is safe to say that the same
programme has been agreed on in
regard to the House, if the Demo
Gratis will submit to it. The unseat-
ing Of sixteen Democratic Congress
men from the South, and the pas
sage of a Fedeaal election law AIM
ed directly at us, would carry the Re-
publican party to the very acme of
section allsm, wouid be the opening
of new campaign against the South,
and fnr that rpaa0n sh0uld he fonpht
from the very start. There are al
ways a number of contests before
Congress, generally about evenly
divided between the parties. The
fact that all the contests this year
are made by Republicans is signifi-
cant of the conspiracy to secure con-
toll of the House at any cost and in
complete disregard of the results Of
the elections.
