rne enormous sound-money vote in the
Southern states constitutes guaranty
OF good farm, which ensures new era
OF active. rapid, and substantial develop
ment. The resunt OF the ballounS IN
these Southern States carries 10 the
world the conviction that the South IS a
section peopled By men who are deter
mined that their section shall STAND
ALONGSIDE OF the most advanced coun-
Tries OF the world IN business aIalrs'
II the vote tor Bryan had been larger
than cast for Mr. Cleveland, theh
might with truth be said that the South
mad taken a leap into the dark; but when
Maryland and West Virginia, and propa-
bly, Kentucky have just given MAORI
ties for sound money. and when tho Tree
silver nght has caused Virginia, Tennes-
see. North Carolina, Alabama, IeNas'
and other States TO give so much small
or majorities than when Mr.. Cleveland
was a candidate. despite local race con-
diuons. IL means a greater moral vic
tory tor the South than any other sec
ton could show under similar conditions.
The vote against the Chicago platform,
whether given for Palmer or Mckinley
Is I'm significance a pledge Of the existence
OF a state Of public sentiment whlcn
cannot fail TO command for the South
an amount Of confidence among outside
investors that this section has never be-
fore enjoyed.
The breaking away from the regular
party ranks of 50 many thinking men,

n.ent, but reason and business VIII De
the dominating forces In the politics or
the South. A single set involving the
exercise OF a high order Of moral cour-
age fits men to fight better for what is
right ever afterwards. The fact that

cal publication from within. which alone
Is healthy and lasting.
From the views of President Fish, OF
the Illinois Central Railroad Company:
Now that the campaign is over and
the victory won b. an overwhelming ma
| torlty. and, best of all. through the votes
OF several Of the Southern States. we
can look with patience upon the fur

senators. Those of them who are not

active support OF the silver propaganda

commercial values and not at the coin

From Cooper, Hewitt q Co, New York;
The result inspires and restores con-

and prosperity. The South cannot. by
