The Nav York World a Damocratic

creasing their majority in the House
by simply reversing the result of tue
election in a dozen of cases. The
World should be honest and admit
that the change in contested seats
have been made to right fragrant
wrongs. IN no case where Democrat
has made any show of having been ell
ccted has the Republican contestant
been seated. The action of the Re-
publican majority has been in marked
contrast with that of the Democratic
majority in the last House. Under
the Republicans not man has been
nnseated who had shadow of claim
TO a seat. The evidence has been
such as would have convinced any
Jury of twelve honest men sworn to do
their duty. The Democratic member.
IN every instance has been given the
benefit of any doubt. The fact is
wherever change has been made, the
most outrageous frauds, intimidation
and ballot box thievery has been
cleary proven. The only fault the
honest men OF either party shonli find,
is that men have been allowed to en-
joy so long the fruits of such disgrace
to the nation that such outrages are
permitted at oil. 1t is only where
Democrats manipulate and control the
ballot boxes hat they are permitted.
The most of the changes have been in
districts in the south. where no preten,

THE SOUTH AND THE WEST

Tn the course Of his speech at EdgeiieId'
Congressman I'illman spoke most earnest
" and Sorcibly Of the antagonlsm OF the
West to the South, and his words were w"ftiS
or .oberncss and truth. We call attention
to the fact so as to impress upon our people
the ignis taruus, or sack o'my lantern, io'ly
of running after Western schemes o. tG'
ing carried away with plausible sugscs
tions from that quarter.
Western farmers. as rule, are Erpub-
licans, and in their blind adherence to Ibis
infamous party have evinced fegree OF
partisanshlp and bitterness SURPRISING
those OF tie Eastern or Middle States.
And their Representatives in Congr s'
have uniformly voted for high rara,
aaainst the free coinage Of silver, and i'll
favor Of the iniqu,tous Lodge Bill. There
is no meesarc too sectional or extreme
against the South, that does not meet their
approval. 1t was from this section that
the pillaging and burning soldiers OF
Sherman principally came, and the en-
nifty then cngendered in their hearts have
descended from sire TO soR.
And when We come to the question oi
practical economy in The antngonism OF
products, their interest is diametrically
opposed to ours. They naturally desire
high price for their corn, oats, flour and
bacon, while or interest is to bay them q:
cheap as possible. They arc n non
manufacturing people as compared TO the
East, and consequently have no dealing:
with our cotton uor send money here fo'
circulation or thus exchange goods for cot
ton. In ether words, there Is not a parti
Gle of reciprocal relation existing, but
cut hroatQ game all around. And il the
sub Treasury scheme was put int' opera
tion they would, 10 use Il familiar express
sion, have the dead wood OIL US oil the
time.
The truth is re hare but few true
friends North OF Mason and pison's line.
We are regarded as legitimate prey by al!
sections. without any acknowledged rights,
and but for the business relations and
business demands Of tho country, which
necessitate pacific legislation, we would
be governed as satrapy. The feeling OF
reconciliation and union is entertained by
the Democratic purity toa greater degree
than any other, and although this Is hRseG
on selllshness, yet it is our policy 10 stick
to it.
So far as The West is concerned We have
precious little, from the present outlook,
ever 10 expect from it.
