Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore,

WHY THE SOU rH IS DEMOCRATIC
The Solid South is the burden of
many of the Radical spoeches these
days as if it were a crime of ..treason
able character for the South to be
Democratic. While these Radical
orators are assailing the South bes
cause Southern white men are practi
cally solid for the Democratic party,
the Radical managers North and
South resort to all manner of device,
trickery, and misrepresentation to
keep the colored vote solid for the
Republican party, A solid . black
vote for the Republicans is all right,
but a solid white vote for the Demo
crats is all wrong. If the black vote
was numerous enough to carry the
South for the Republicans we would
hear no more of the solid South, it
would be all right then. The cause
of the complaint is not the solidity
buD the side on which the solidity is.
That's what hurts.
.But there are reasons and very,
good reasons why the white people of
the South, embracing the business
men, property owners and tax pay
ers, are solid for the Democratic paiN
ty. For some years after the war,
owing to the enfranchisement of the
negroes, the disfranchisement of
thousands of white men, the methods
that prevailed under the so called
reconstruction, the political minipu
lation of ; the freedmen's bureau,
military interference in the elections,
and the Radical ; returning boards
that counted and returned the vote
to suit themselves, these Southern
States all passed under Radical do
minion, and the worst set of political
tramps and plunderers, black and
white, that ever infested or cursed
any civilized communities on . the
face of the earth, seized the reins of
government, and then the reign of
riot aad rapine, such as was never
before witnessed on this continent,
began.
For shameless profligacy , and high
handed villainy,- the days of Radical
rule in the South are without jaral-lei.-
- - - . w'
With a sublime contempt of ordi
nary decency and the opinion of the
world, they went on taxing, taxing,
taxing, stealing, stealing, stealing,
robbing the people,' enriching them
selves. They taxed when there
was anything to be taxed, and stole
when there was anything to be stolen,
and they only left that which they
couldn't lift and carry, away. - In
stead of encouraging peace and har
mony they kindled bad feeling,
aroused antagonisms, arrayed black
against white by teaching the black
man that the Southern white man was
his enemy, and did all they could to
turn pandemonium loose. There was
trouble, disorder, violence, lawlessness
at all of which they connived, and in
many localities the incendiary 's torch
did its terrible work, and the barns
and houses of white men disappeared
in the midnight blaze, and no effort
was made to suppress it.
The capitalist feared to venture
where the plunderer and the ; law
breaker ruled, and the South not only
made no progress, but moved back
ward. All they left the South was
a horrible memory and colossal State
debts, for which there was nothing to
show.
But in time the revolution came,
patience cease to be a virtue, and
the people of the South, with almost
superhuman effort, rcse up and hurl
ed the rioters and plunderers from
power and then came the dawning of
the new era of peace and prosperity.
Then hope was born, confidence re
vived, our people looked out to a fu
ture before them, took courage and
began the work of progress. With
peace, order, respect for Law, honest
administration of government came
sutlers from other States and capital
for investment. L Thus the work of
progress went : on. until t tho South
showed that Kho was not only moving
with other sections but surpassing
them in the rapidity of development,
and increase of wealth. . .Within the
past decade, since the plunderers were
driven out, her taxable wealth has
increased $G40,701.033. , and . within
the past year up wards of $200,000,000,
The taxes have been as light as the
necessities of government would per
mit; and the money "paid into the
treasury has not been stolen. Al
though there is business . depression
throughout the country now there is
not a Southern State that has not a
bright outlook before her, and whose
people are not hopeful r and happj.
This is the result of Democratic rule
and the reason why the white people
of the South are solid for the Demo
cratic party.
John M. Moring, who is, with the
backing of Dr. Mott &" Co.runnmg
as an independent candidate for Con
gress in the Fourth District, declines
to say whether he stands upon the
Republican or Democratic National
platform. He is as mum on that as
Dr. York is when asked whether he
is a Republican or a Democrat, and
how he stands on civil rights.
CART SUPPORT BliAINE AND
YORK.
. Mr. S. L. Patterson, of Caldwell
county, is to be added to the list of
prominent Republicans in this State
who have declared against Blaino and
York. In the last issue of the Lenoir
Topic he publishes a card giving ; his
reasons for his action. He says that
after thorough investigation and con
sideration he is convinced and satis
fied that Blaine is a corrupt man, that
lie bartered his high official; position
for personal gain, and that he can
not and will not support a convicted
corrupt man. - In conclusion he gives
his reason for opposing York thus:
I will not vote for Dr. York ' for
Governor. He is not fit for the high
office. Nor can I forget how short a
time ago he was,of all abusive and foul
mouthed - Democratic demagogues,
the most so. The circumstances of
his conversion excite suspicion that'
he would still be so if his bread were
so buttered. I do not believe he is
honest in . advocating Republican
principles and, as a self respecting
Republicar, I will not vote for him.
, No one can know the genuine pain
it gives me to place myself outside
the pale of the party organization,
whose candidates have heretf ore been
upright and able men, and whom I
have supported with earnestness and
zeal, . 7 . ,:,;V-..-K--- -v...--
1 believe that the defeat of Blaine
and York will be not only for the
interest of, the -country, but will
eventuate in good to the Republican
party.

About half, a dozen- heads of depart
ments in Washington, are no w' doing

If Dr. York were vernor he
would be compeUed tpi irecommend
the passage of a civil rights bill by
the Legislature because" he" endorses -the
Chicago platform yiixfull." ; ; -
When Dr. York goes b&lDon

his term he will have to vote, for e the,
Edmunds civil rights bill if ? it cbmes
before the House. "1 ' .

At Urbana, Ohio, last Tuesday -Mr.:
Blaine was escorted to the speaker's
Btand by a large body of Plumed
Knights. A feature of the escort was
a troop of ladies on horseback wear
ing white plumes. What will the
Republican papers in this State who
have been howling about mounted
escorts to Gen. Scales say to this?
Are they going to have war out
there!
The Charleston News and Courier
says that while the Republican white
factions and black factions are fights
ing each other in that State, they can
poll a full electoral vote and . intend
to do it, and gives warning that unless
the Democrats realize the gravity of
the situation, and work systemati
cally for the next month, there will
be serious danger in November.
Dr. York might have believed at
one time, as he is reported to have
said, that "negroes have no souls,"
as he believed in the present system
Of county government which ho ad vocated.
But as he says that he has
discovered that he was wrong about
the county government, so perhaps
maybe he has come to the conclusion
that he was wrong about negroe3 not
having souls. ..
CLEVELAND SHOULD
ELECTED.
HE
Views of a Practical ittun ho Viewa
the Situation irom a patriotic Sittnd
point. To the Editor of Thk Obskkvkb.
Has it occurred to the general pub
lic that the nomination of Mr. Cleve
land is a most momentous event in our
political life? The nomination : of
Cleveland nas its peculiar signmcance
as a concession by one of the great
parties to the reform sentiment ot the
country, it means a new ueparture
in party practices if it is left to Mr."
Cleveland to give it mac meaning,
There can bo no question, taking his
past record as a standpoint and if
elected he will do all in his power as
president to inaugurate reform in po
litical methods, in legislative methods
and in the civil service of the govern
ment. But for this very reason Mr.
Cleveland's candidacy excites no spe
cial enthusiasm among the profession
al politicians of the Democratic party
which look upon a party as a joint
stock corporation run for the benefit
of its stockholders and managers and
their subordinate workers, and in his
theory none are stockholders but the
managers and their subordinate worK
era. As reeards the voting mass of
the party it is enough for them he
thinks to share in the glory of a vie
tory while its prizes are awarded in
dividends to those who stand within
the charmed circle of the joint stock
arrangements Men of. this class m
the Democratic party can not feel
much encouragement at the prospect
of Mr. Cleveland's election. Their
hopes were centered on an energetic
use of the methods of the spoils sys
tem Mr." .Cleveland evidently pro
poses to root out of our politics as far
as he can. The fact is that Cleveland
has been a damper upon the enthusw
asm which they try to rekindle, now-
ever from speeches of Mr. Hendricks
in which he insist that a change of
personnel is neccessary as .the only
remedy for flagrant and deep seated
abuse. This they are fair to construe
as meaning a change of dynasty
which will effect a complete rotation
in office, turning out 120,000 incum
bents and distributing their places
among the professional retenue. But
such construction is not warranted.
Mr. Hendricks could not be so stupid
or so ungracious as to put himself in
opposition to the well,known views of
Mr. Cleveland. At least he seems to
indicate what he means when he says
that a change is necessary by referr
ing to the English system of a change
of ministry when public opinion de
mands a change. In such cases he
says change is the remedy. When the
commons disapprove of an important
measure or : censure maladministra
tion the cabinet headed by the prime
ministers and others in harmony with
the public will succeed them. Now
when these ministerial changes occur
less than fifty persons of one party go
out of office to be replaced by less
than fifty persons of another party,
the great body of civil servants are
undisturbed. K'".':.;.--:' i : '
: : There are no spoils in the shape of
patronage for the victors. Mr. Glad
stone has boasted that the prime min
ister of England has no more power
to appoint or remove the incumbent
of a postoffice than the humblest un
official citizen. , "
It is not to be doubted that Mr.
Cleveland if made president will in
sist on washing his hands clean of
everything in. the nature of spoils
patronage. V- - ' v;
He is no Reliever in the old pestilent
doctrine of rotation in office for the
mere sake of rewarding party service.
The selection and retention of subor
dinates in government employ, Mr.
Cleveland says in his letter of accept
ance, should depend on their ascer
tained fitness and the value of their
work and they should be neither ex
pected to do questionable party ser
vice. The interest of the people will
be better protected. - Estimate of
public labors "and duty will be im
mensely improved if public employ
ment will be open to au who demon
strate their fitness to enter it. The
unseemly scramble for place under
government with consequent impor
tunities which embitters official life
will then cease and the public depart
ments will not be filled with those who
conceive it to be their first duty to aid
the party to which they owe their
place instead of rendering patient and
honest return to the people. .
Of course such language is not en
couraging for professional partisans,
but it is profoundly encouraging for
plain, intelligent, patriotic citizens

assuredly tell at the ballot box. And
in conclusion, if the indications on the
dial plate of the presidential contest
signify anything Mr. Cleveland will
have an opportunity which he will no
doubt exercise of purifying the civil
