Excerpt from The Argonaut, Vol. 10: January-June, 1882

I had better, perhaps, leave the discussion of national poli tics till I arrive at the national capital. Still, I will venture to remark that one point of President Arthur's Stalwart policy will be to secure for the next national convention a united delegation of Cranks from the Solid South This is not impossible of accomplishment. A large proportion of that old guard of three hundred and six third - term Stal warts in the last convention came from Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas. Add to this staunch old guard of Grant Stalwarts the Sherman niggers, and the business is done. Only next time there will be no fight de manded to break the conspiracy that united New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois under the leadership of the sena torial triumvirate. District representation will require too many machines, and an all-wise dispensation of party pa tronage will be necessary for success. The Solid South, under Grant's administration, and while it was Republican, was a good thing. We did 'not like a solid Democratic South quite so well, while it was Democratic. When Ma hone and his associates shall destroy this Democratic one, it will, I think, he the policy of the administration to build upon its ruins another; and I venture to prophesy at the next national Republican convention a delegation of solid Southern Republican Cranks, made solid by administration influence.
