edge induces him to feel confident that
the vote OF that State will be cast for
Mr.. Cleveland. He hasn't the slightest
doubt of the maintenance of the solid
South, and says such doubts as have
been raised concerning the dissolution
of The solidity of his section are the re-
suit of the talk Of some democratic can
