< VIOLENT SBPIENC AOAINST - TIE SOLID SOUTH. V 'he Defeated os.didato Boasts to Ills Fpllow Republicans of how Near lie was to Victory--Ie Ignores the Millions of Northern Ienocrals. A large numiber of personal and po litical friends of' Blaine seneraded Iim a Augusta, 1MIe., on Tuesday evening as .lln expression of persolnal good w11I and admiral ion of his conduct of national canpaign. They marched through th'e streets under the mainruhal ship of Col Frank Nye. When they reached Blaine's house their con.uli nents and friendly regxards were , x pressed inl a speech by Ilerbert 'l. Heath, of the Kennebec bar. Blaine responded a-s tollows, his speech being continually interrupted by applause. Fhlends and neighbors, thc national e ptest is over, and by the. narrowest oT 11argins we have lost. I thank you for your call, which, it not one of Jgyous conlgratulations, is one 1 81i itre of confience andt(] of sa)guine hope for the tuture. I thand you for the public opportunity yOU UiVC mne to express my sense of obligation not only to you but to ill the Republicans of 'Alaine. They res,pondld to my -nomination with genuine enthusiasm', ratified it by a superb vote. I count it as 0110 of the ioliors aniid gratifica tions of my public career that the party in Maine after stru(rgling hard for the last six years, aml twice within that period losine the State, has come back in this campaign to nil old fashioned 20,000 plurality. No other expression of popular confidence and esteeln Could equal that of the people among whom I have iued for thiriy ears and to whom I an attached by all the ties that ennoble human nature and give Joy and dignity to life. After 1laine, indeed along with Maine, my first thiought is always of Pennsylva ia. Ilow can I litting ly tpress my thanks for that unp:arallel ed majority of more than 80,()00 votes, an enldorsemenlt which has deeply touched my heart and whicn has, if possible, increased my afIection for that grand old commonwieal i, ai af fection which I inherited from my an cestry and which I shall translinit to my Chil(Lren. Bnt I do not limit, my thanks to the State of my residence and the State of' my birth. I owe much to the true and zealous friends in New i ngland who worked so nobly for the Republican party and its candidates and to the eminent. scholars antd divines who, steppihg aside from thesr ordinary avocations, made my cause their Canse and. to loyalty to principle added the special compliment. of standinig as my personal representatives in tle national st ruggle. But the achievements for the Ie publican cause in the East are even surpassed by tlie splendid victories ini the West. Ini that inagnificant cordon of States thatt stretches froin tlie foot lills of the Alleghenies to tle golden gate of the l'acific, beginning with Ohio and ending with California, the Republican banner was borne so lofty that but a single State failed to join in thie wide acclainm of tr'iumphil. Nor should i (10 just ice to myv owni feelings if' I failed to thank thte liepub licanis of (lie Emopirue State, who eni couniteredl so imaniy dicoragemenats andi( ob)Stacles, w ho fo)ughit foes f'romu within anti focs from wv itt, atwl who waged so stt ronig a bat tile t hat t hie chanige of one vote iin every 2, II00 wiould have giveni us victory ~ini lihe ntihoni.

If (lie outrage stopped there Itw would be bad enough, but it does not etop theire, for noet only is (lie liegro Population disf'ranchised,' but the pow er* which right fully and( consiitution ally belongs to themi is tr'amfirred t th4 wivbte populationi, eniabling the White population of tic South to exert ani elector'atinfluence far beyond tht bxerted by tha esat ' numbo& , white people in the North. To illustrate Just how it works'to the destructlot: of all fair elections, let we pre ent to you five States in the late Cotnfederacy and five loyal States of the North, possessing for each see tion the sarne number of electoral votes. In the South the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Sotuh Carolina have in the aggregate forty-eight electortil votes. They have just 2,800,000 white people and over 3,000,000 colored peo ple. In the North the States of Wis cotusin, Minnesota, Iowa, Katisas and Colorado have likewise ati aggregate of forty-eight electoral votes, and these have a %hite ipopultation of 5,600,000 or just doublo the live Soutthertn States which I have named. These Northorn States have 1 ractically 110 colored pop illation. It is, therefore, evident that the white tanI lt host Southern States, by ursurpihg and absorbing the rights of le colored men, are exerting just double the political power of he whi te tuen inl the Northern States. I submit, my friends, that such a condition of affairs is extraordinary, unjust and derogatory to the nttuhood of the North. Even those who are vindictively opposed to ne:rro suffrage Will not deny that if Presicential clec tors are assigned to the South by rca 8011 of the negro polulatiion, that pop nlatiott ought to be perm1itted free sutirage in un election. To deny that clear prol)ositiont is to aflirmu that the Southern white man in the Gulf States is entitled to double the political pow ert of the Northera hite iluau in the Lake States. It is to aflirm that the Cotfederate soldlier shall wield twice the influenee in the nation that the Jnion soldier can, atnd that perpetual and contstantly increasing s51periority shall be conceded to the Southert white man in the Governent of the U.niot. If that be quietly conceded in this generationl it will Iardet into enstoiu nutil the badge of inferiority will attach to the Northern white main as odiously as ever Norman noble stamped it upon the Saxon churl This subject is ofdeep interest to the laboring nen of the Northt. Wit I the Sonthern I)eniocracy triumtpliant in their States :imt in ithe nation, the ic groes will be compelled to work for just such wages as the whites may de cree, wages will anoun tt, as did the supplies of the slaves, to a bare sul sistence, equal ini cash, perhaps, to 35 Cents pet day, if averaged over the eni lire South. The white laborer in the North will soon feel the destructive eflict of this 111)0 his owni wages. Tle Repiblicas have clearly seen from the earliest days of reconstruction that wages in the South must be raised to the just recompense of the laborer, or wages in the North be ruitously lowered, and the party has steadily worked for the former result. A re verse influence will be now set inl motion, and that condition of al'irs produced which years ago Mr. Lincoln warned the free laboring men of the North, will prove hostile to their indc p)endence and will inevit ably lead to a rtinots reduction of wages. A mere ditirenec in the color of tlic skiii will not suflice for maintainin ig an entirely dillerent standard of wages in con tiguous and adjacent States, and the voluintary will be compielled to yield to the involuntarv. So comi Iletely have the colored ietn in the Soth been already deprived by the Democratic party of their constiti I ional andl legal rights as citizenis of' the Unaited State?s that t hey regard i e adlveiit of' that partty to iiationial power as thle sigiinal of thiir re-ensl avemeint anid ale afliihted beca use thlerv thlinik all legal prmotIection fo r themi i is gonHe.

At'the conclusion of Blaino's s oecl he irvited tlie large crowd info hi house and for nearly an hour an ir formal reception was held. Press Comments on the speech. The speech is receiving rough treal mont at the hands of fearless editors. The New York herald says: We believe that no patriotic citize be lie Republican, Democrat, Peoplei Party man, or Prohibitionist, will rca the speech Blaine made at Angist last night, without thanking God mo fervently for the deliverance of th people of the United States from tli daniger and disgrace of having sue a demaigogue and incendiary for thei President. It is the first instance in which Presilenltial candidate, madteoed b deteat, has tried to inoculate his coul try wit.h sretional passions in reven tor its choice of aunother man. Unless we under-estimate the pi triotism of the people, North an South, they will greet it with suo scornful fnger everywhere that it wi be the last instance, as well as th first, and no future disappointed ibh creant will (lure defy the warning. In the civil war one great crime wi attempted, which honorabl'i beligei emts onl either side regard with unan Imous horror. We mucan the atteln to inoctiulate the country with yello, fever. But it pales in 'wickedness bi side IBlaine's attempt to inoculate ti country with sectional passions, I tear open the healed wounds of t1 Rebellioi. to permeate the North wit a sense of humiliation from the ele tion of Governor Cleveland to tl Presidency, to iniect freedom witl tl fear of re-eiislavereint, to inspire whit workmen with the dread of the free( men's compe(tition in their fields labor, and to Impeach the sincerity < the allegiance of all Southern whil tinen. No rebuke is too severe Tor this vi laiious speech, and the shame of it aggravated by the fact that ft was r deliberate as it is dastardly. Blaine words are not an unpremeditated ha' angne of hot temper. They are tI studied utterance of cold-blooded mm lignity. Since he cannot rule lie woul ruin. lie wonld cnt1-se his couitr with jealousy, and iiscord, and miseri becquse lie himrr:lf is jealous, discor( ant and miserable, But we believe that. there is sma (uier of harmt from such words t his at this day. We have faith th evillie would wreak upon his countr will be visited on his own head. the ltepublican party does not unilo itself of Blaine after this speech, it wi add damnation to defeat. The Times conmments after this mal ncr: Illaimie took the occasion of a scri nade at Augusta last evening intende as a personal compliment by his town men to deliver the most bitter an michivous sectional speech that ht been heard in the North for many dlav. An honest defeat seems to have e: tiniuished all the generous sentimet which lie professed to have wlcn I peied his letter of aeeptance, rather it shows that the letter wa paraded in the hope of winninhg Sontl er votes, and having tailed in that : shows his real temper. ]le belittles the Northern influent that contributed to his defeat ai t reats the result as a tranisf'er of' tI cointrol of t he government to the Soul wichl, lie professes to b)eliVcc fraught wvith nisf'ort uie to thle cou11 try, lie shiowis iio conception of tl pmrinmci pIe that t he Governmienit belonig to thle pecople of' the wvhole conitry ana not to a plartyv or sectiotn.

Further Aeouants of the a tlobs Drought Diseaso tlo Mot ntain. LYNCHBURG, VA., November 20. The counties. buflbiing from the now and fatal disease, beforo reported, are Lee and Dickenson, and thbe edge of Scott, in Virginia, and HHarland, Lee and adjoining counties in Kentucky. Owing to the isolated position of the , district particulars are hard to obtain. ;' Hundreds are said to have (lied, and, d allowing for exaggeration, it can be a afirned that the mortality is large. t Postal- Clerk Wells, who has just ar o rived from that section, after having e had the direaso, srives a sad account of h the epidemi-:. lie attributes it to mtin r eral poison in the waters of the drought-dried wells, and says that a a strong and disagreeable mineral taste y like that of copperas exists. At the - time he left but few springs were flow e ing freely and the people were com pelled to drink this impregnated water. - Although the name of the disease is d unknown the people call it 'cholera, h and were it so it could not be more il dreaded or disastrous. The symptoms e are d.escribed as similar to those of - Asiastic cholera, followed by terrible hemorrhages in the bowels, and those s attacked either die oit recover in about a week. It is frequently fatal in ti en ty-four hours and sometimes even t in a much shorter period. In most in v stances it visits an entire family, and it is considered so contagious that in e some cases persons die alone, their o frieidm being afraid to go to them. e There are no figures representing the b) actual nottality, but it is estimated that over tlwee hundred have perished e in the Virginia counties named, and e considering the sparsc population and e the number taken, thc percentage is I- large. At the late election, the num f ber of deaths considerably affected the f majorities at various precincts, and e thirty new graves were counted in a small cemetery. As one result the I- people are demoralized, and local busi s ness interests suffer. A like scourge s visited thia section in 186. The coun s try, which is extremely mountainous, is of high elevation above tWin level of e the sea. Cattle are also dying in the ,- same section. General rains have tl fallen in this Stat.c for two ctays past, y and it is probable that the drought in ", the infected region is now entdefl. I- PITTSnunG, November 21.-A special to the Post from Charlestown, V. Va., II says: Information received here from .s Perryville, McDowell County, in this It State, near the Virginia :border, gives y a frightful account of the ravages of if the so-called cholera in the extreme d southwestern counties of Virginia and 11 adjoining territory of Kentucky. Making every allowance for exag . geration the loss of life has already been appalling, while the condition of the survivors is terrible in the extreme. No rain has fallen in the Cumberland d Mountains, in which the infected dis t.tict is situated, for four months, the d drought entailing not only the almost s total failure of the crops, but the cut aut ting offof the supply of water over a wide area. Difficulty was experienced in oLtain t ing water for the stock as early as the e middle of August in some localities, r but to actual suffering occurred among is the inhabitants until about the end of - September, when, the ordinar sources 0 of supply having for the most part failed, the mount aineers were conpell c ed in order to sustain life to obtain d water for household purposes from 1e what were knowni as "poison inmieral'' isprings ini the mnountaini, or from the 1s small amount remaining in deep holes Iin the beds of creekN. e Thme persistent use of this water soon s developed a peculiar disease, as deadly d as A\siatic cholera in its nature, which has s ince raged with terrible fatality dl over- half a dozeni counties in Virginia, e W~est Virginia and Kentuack y. The loss of life thus far is variously estimated at (1 fr-om 400 to 800. Among children and it adults wvell up ini years lie mortality ~-has been greatest, biut nio class has becin y exemp)t. Inm a number of. instances, C especially amnmg time folks of McLeani's -Cr;eek-, a tributary of the liig Sandv a River, amid in the vallev of the Powell River emp)tyiing into' the Tennessee River, whole faiilies have perished, is while in nuimerous other cases but one i-o two miembiiers of the household siur vive. 1Fewi recover' from the disordler >f sixty to eighty' per cent. of those at a tacked dyiing. this being accounted for e by the fact that pure water is still uin is obtaintable and that proper food anid g muediceal iuttendaiice cannot be had. The dryiing up of the streams, has nic a cessitated the stoppage of nuimerous d small gi-ist mtills along the mountain *n valleys, and( the p)opulationl for f.he n -most part appeairs to be0 in the most e abject want and miseryv. rThe locality i1 is almost inalncessible to the outside d wvorld, there beinig no railroad within st imaniy miles.

EHEUMATISX Although a practitionerof near twenty years, my mother influenced me to procure B. B. B. for her. She had been confined to her bed several months with Bheumatism which had stubbornly resisted all the usual remedies. Within twenty-four hours after commencing B. B. B. I observed marked relief. She has just commenced her third bottle and is nearly as active as ever and has been in the front yard with "rake in hand," cleaning up. Her improvement is truly tcondc,ful and immensely gratifying.

KIDNEY TROUBLE For over six years I have been a terrible sufferer from a troublesome kidney complaint, for the relief of which I have spent over $250 without benefit; the most noted so-called remedices proving failures. The use of one sin gle bottle of B. B. B. has been marvelous, giving more relief than all other treatment combined. It is a quick cure, wnile others, if they cure at all, are in the distant future. C. H. ROBERTS, Atlanta Water Works. Scrofula. Dr. L. A. Guild, of Atlanta, who owns a large nursery and vineyard, has a lad on his place who was cured of a stubborn case of Scrofula, with one single bottle of B. B. B. Write to him about the case. Frank Joseph, 245 Jones street, Atlanta, has a son wh(, had .t sloughing, scrofulous ulcer of the neck, and had lost his hair and eyc-sight, finding no relief. One bottle of 11. B.
