Mr.. FAssErr, the republican candi-
date for Governor of New York, who
was defeated last year by nearly fifty
thousand majority, says the South's
vote, through breaches of the Constitu-
ton, will go solidly for Cleveland, ana
that Mr.. Harrison, tosucceed, must rely
upon the unbroken support of the loyal
North. Mr.. Fassctt is a second Daniel
come to judgment. The South must,
and will remain solid, or else disregard
the first law ofnature, and Mr.. Harrl-
sons only hope Of election lies in the
support of the Norti Whether a ma
iority of the people of that section de-
sire to ruin the South and thereby nee
essarily injure the whole country, and
to perpetuate system Of taxation by
which the many poor are pillased for
the benefit of the few rich, will be de-
termined next November.

Mr.. BEVERLY and the other third
party speakersin Virginia say the Force
bill is bugaboo, amounts 20 nothing,
and is not as bad as the present election
law of Virginia. On the contrary, Mr..
Murat Halstead, a rank republican edi-
tor, says the Force bill is great mis-
take" and ex-Secretary Teller, one OF
the leading republican members Of the
U. S. Senate, says it is 'the most in
famous bill that ever passed the doors
of the Senate, and was instigatcd by
men whose intent ii was to prevent s.
full expression of the will of the voters
at the polls" But the assertions of the
third party speakers are even more
reckless than those of their allies, the
republican South-haters.

crippled an organization even in better

by the fact that he allied to vote at the

now Mr.. Dudley, who bought Indiana
four years ago, says ''the demands Of

Ir WAS printed some time ago that
reconciliation had been effected be-
tween General Malone and Langstop,
the negro ex-congressman from the
Petersburg district. How sincere that
reconciliation was is shown by the fact
that though Langston wants 70 be the
republican candidate for Congress in
that district, the General says no repnb-
lican candidate must be run there. 1t
is now printed that amicabe relations
have been restored between Langston
and Collector Brady of the Petersburg
district. There is more probability OF
the truth of the latter statement, as
both Brady and Langston really
hate the General, and every body
knows that the General really detests
both of them, and has cause to do so.

ACCORDING TO the late census re
turns, there are enough negro voters in
each of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and Michigan to decide the votes of
hose States. But this tact doesn't add
10 the chance the democrats have of
carrying any of those States, for the
negroes were taught by republicans to
haze democrats before they left the
