GEORGIA AND FLORIDA,

Georgia and Florida, two more mem
bers of the Solid South, have spoken. and
driven two more nails in the coffin Of the
Third party. In both these States
Weaver. Field and Lease had made spe-
Cal efforts, and had telegraphed. as they
did in Arkansas, that they were sure of
c, nying them. but as the election returns
come in we find that-as in Arkansas
the Democrats have swept both States
by large majorities, the Third-party annex
to Radicalism having poled i'll Florida
only 6000 votes in all.
All doubts about Solid South there
fore, are removed and the reesOn is very
plain. Southern men may talk about
abandoning the old Democratic party as
n UGH as they choose. but when they come
&c the polls and find themselves con-
frOnted with the cold fact that unless
they vote the Democratic ticket they ere
voting for Radical, and negro ard bayo-
net rule, they will be very apt to come 10
their senses and vote, according to the
first law Of nature for self-defenSe.
This is what carried Arkansas. Georgia.
Florida and Alabama. the only four
Southern States in which elections have
been held so far, and is what will
carry Virginia, the Carolinas. and all the
other Southern States.
The electoral vote of the South may be
safely put down for Grover Cleveland
