This is perhaps the most significant
feature of the election. 1t shows that
Republicanism is more popular in the
South than Democracy is in the North
and the real national party is the
Republican. OF the forty-four states
in the Union the Democrats carried
last Tuesday not more than ten or
eleven on the congressional vote, or
one-fourth. The total Democratic
majorities in these states will not be
over 250, 900, leaving the Republicans
with clear majority ofover l,OOO,0oO
in the whole Union. The meaning OF
such magnificent majority cannot
be mistaken.
