Young Men to the Front in Post War Politics
The New York Evening Post lauds rising youth in Southern leadership. Georgia’s Senate president Fleming du Bignon and House speaker A. S. Clay, both born in 1858, symbolize a new generation. The piece notes southern governors and reps gaining prominence without war records, while old colonels retreat to honor their past service. Also covered is the Columbus Chattahoochee Valley Exposition’s success, with strong, youthful management and farm displays signaling regional growth. The column questions alternate presidential paths, defending Cleveland’s 1884 choice and policy line amid mixed political forecasts.
