YES, THE SOUTH IS SOLID
SENATOR GRAY ON THE 70.
I.ITICAI. SITUATIONS.

Republicans Are FOOIiug Them.
selves II They Expect Any EIeC-
tOraI Votes from the SOuth-The
Force Hill.
New YORK, Aug 24.-The string of the
Republican campaign harp that is
twanged loudcst and most constantly is
that which asserts the probability that
the SOLID South" will at last fail the
hopes of the Democracy. Senator George
Gray, of Delaware, who was at the
national Democratic headquarters to-
day, took up this point and gave the fol-
lowing pertinent aud time y interview;
"lf the republicans are building any
hopes on carrying Southern electoral
votes for Harrison they simply delude
themselves. The South is as solid as
ever for Democracy. In my little State
of Delaware. for instance, the republicans
will make vigorous campaign, and the
contest may be close, but we have a
reserve Democratic force which we can
bring forward whenever it is needed.
The same thing is true of Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and all the
Southern States. Whenever a principle
is at sake or great cause endangered
this reserve force comes to the front and
and leaves nc doubt whatever OF the re-
suit OF the election.
Such a principle is at stake in this
campaign. The force bill threatens the
liberty of the Southern people, threat
ems to deprive them of the power of
self-government and to turn control Of
their elections over to agents of the ad-
ministration at Washington. The peo-
pie Of the South will never permit this
great wrong to be perpetrated if they
can helpit. In congressional and local
elections some of them may go to the
new party, but just as soon as they un-
dcrstand that the Third party is being
used to help retain control of the White
House they will renew their allegiance
to Democratic faith. l have no fear
whatever of Republican gains in the
South. "-Baltimore Sun.
