A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE.

While, of course, there is Just a
touch of Inconsistency in the Tonnes
see convention, which adopted reso-
buttons to decry sectionalism in ma
tional politics, and then organized a
combination to secure for a southern
man the Democratic presidential
nomination; still that pride of home
is of a piece with the patriotism,
which makes us love our own coun-
try with love, that to the 'inter-
Nationalist" and universal brother
hood advocates is an unreasoning
devotion. Why, indeed, should not
the south name the next Democratic
presidential nomination?
With the faithfulness of a good
wife, the south has followed the mis-
fortunes and vagaries of Democracy
from free trade to free silver and
over to the gold standard; and We
doubt not, that II Bryan and govern
ment ownership are on and under the
next national platform, the south will
return her usual majorities for the
party.
That Is the reason why the south
has not named any Democratic presi-
dental candidates. The northern and
western Democrats know the south
will stand by them, and the southern
politicians, realizing the fidelity of
home folks, acquiesce in any program
that promises success. in the hope
that once the party is in power, their
efforts will not go unrewarded.
Kentucky at the recent election
did more than that Nashville conven-
ton to attract attention to the party
claims of the south. Maryland inti-
mated desire for independence. and
If Missouri and Tennessee would fol-
low the dictates of sound judgment
once again, the south could have any
thing she wished from Democracy.
AS IL is, the Republicans of the south
are faring considerably better than
their Democratic brethren, viewing
politics from the most sordid point
of view. Viewed from a higher
plane. the whole country is fortunate,
that conditions are as they are.

men and recede from their former
