Southern Republicans face solid South after Harrison policy
Prominent Southerners say the South will not return a Republican majority to the House. They blame President Harrison for hardening the South and weakening the white reform effort. North Carolina and Virginia Democrats threaten to shift a three Republicans and six Democrats delegation to nine Democrats in the next Congress.
