SENATOR Hill has determined at last to
stop sulking aud do his duty as Democrat
st least that is the fair supposition. because
the telegraph informs us that he yesterday
visited the ex-President at Gray
Gables in the steam yacht Fra Dia-

has everything to gain and nothing to lose
by coming out openly and throwing his
great influence in New York in favor Of the
Democratic party. thereby insuring Cleye-
lands election. It will be great day
for Mr.. Hill when he manifests his old-time
enthusiasm for Democratic SUCCESS, and this

A NUMBER Of Republican newspapers are
speaking in complaining tone about the
persistency of the South in remaining solid.
and point TO the Alabama election as proof
that it is foolish to expect it 10 be otherwise.
II seems to us that it Is the height of folly to
expect anything else. Abandonment of the
Democracy in the South means to her Re-
publican bayonet and negro rule and the
maintenance of her civilization depends
upon Democratic success Unless the South
loses her senses and goes crazy self defence
will compel her to be solid so long as her
political enemies make her humiliation and
social destruction their prime object

comfort as to when this provokinely pro-
