A SOUTHERN NOMINATION..

memphis COmmerc1dl-Appeal.
Mr.. Bryan recently called attention
to the fact that there are more Dem.
ocrats in the North thar there are
in the South. In this ne stated the
truth, but this is because there are
considerably more people in the
North than in the South. AS the Nash
vile Banner points out there are
more negroes in Philadelphia than
there are in Charleston, S. C. Some
of our Northern contemporaries are
kind enough to suggest that the Dem.
~ocratic party should nominate a
Southerner because the South is the
appreciate this friendly spirit, and
we would like to see a Southerner
in the presidential office again; but
we do not care to see him there sim
ply because he is from this section.
We entertain the hope that the day
is not far distant when the geograph-
ical consideration will be eliminated
from our politics. We do not care to
see a mediocre or unfit man nominal
ed because he halls from the South:
nor on the other hand, do we want
to see a great statesman barred from
the presidency because he comes
from the South.
When Judge Parker ran for Presi-
dent in 1904 he got over 100000
votes in the country, only 1,50O, 900 of
which came from the South. In other
words seven-tenths of his support
was drawn from the North. In the
], 800, 900 votes in the South as ag
ainst $500 900 in h North. That is
to say Bryan got five votes in the
North where he got two in the South.
But these figures do not convince us
that the nomination should logically
to the North. In the Northern
vote is included the vote
of the Middle and the Western states,
as we'll as that of New England. The
South as a section remains the back
bone of the Democracy; but it has
ceased to be a solid South. In point
of solidity it does not begin to com
pare with solid and immovable New
England.
The South, of course, wishes to
maintain her influence in the councils
of the Democratic party, but she is
so narrow as to demand the nom
of a Southerner because he
Is a Southerner. Whenever a great
comes from this section, one of
sane views, patriotic munitions. of
character and broad, statesman
like mentality, the South would be
to insist upon his recognition
as IN American worthy to serve his
in the highest office. There
are pnquestionably many able men
In the South, but they are not availa-
BILE for a variety of reasons. The brill
liant debater may be erratic in his
and mistake the irrelevant
for the essential thing. The efficient
governor may enjoy a purely local
fame. The matchless orator mag not

his Just obligations The able South
