NOT BeMINc UP.

Sundry republican Journals up
north are asserting that they see
signs of dlsintegration in the solid
south, but when they begin to pro-
duce evidence it is confined to citing
an occasional family row in the dem
ocratic party. The sentiment Of the
south in politics is as solid and I'M
broken as it was in the days when
the acceptance of negro equality was
the only question that commanded
special attention. Then there was
never even a local quarrel of any
magnitude. Now that question has
I been removed. .and there is more
freedom OF difference allowed them
selves by the dem Gratis Of the south.
What the northern papers see and
mistake for disintegration is the
troubling Of the waters by newspa-
Ipers owned by and belonging to and
serving capital, ana it neither reflects
nor flores hadows any serious change
in public sentiment on the main ques-
which IS. whether the govern
ment shall be controlled by the cor
'poTate and money powers. Or whether
the corparate and money powers shall
be restrained and regulated by the
people. Popular feeling On tbs criti-
'cal question is not perhaps so unani-
nous as it was upon the negro prob
lem, but the vote Of every southern
state win be delivered this fan to
the democratic ticket as being the
genuine one upon which may be
placed dependence
In fact the republican candidates
and platform are in professed har-
mony with the democratic on the
most vital questions Of the campaign,
put in the south it is not trusted.
Every intelligent man in this section
knows that the republican party is
not in good faith, that it will in the
event Of success cater to the black
vote and betray the people who ac-
Ieept its professions OF reform regard
