The special telegram to this paper last ireek gave the result of the great battle if jShev ballots iu a "nutshell. That the amocracy was grandly triumphant iroughout the length and breadth of the ?nd was enough for the people then to enow in their excited and jubilant state :>f mind. Their cup was full to the brim fand overflowing. They were obliged to )ut and ?hake hands and exchange sngratnlaticns. They cared not for the. letails in the flush of victory. But when ia ecstasies awakened by the glorious lews had somewhat subsided there arose Itho demand for information as to how [the Democrats carried the day.

Cleveland will surely have 45 votes more than enough to give him the smallest majority possible. In case the official count gives these doubtful States to Mm he will have 77 votes to spare in the electoral college. > Granting that Ohio goes for Harrison, maki ng hia vote 144, and California for Cleveland, making his vote 277, Cleve? land's plunililry will be 133. Bnt give Harrison both Ohio and California, and Cleveland's plurality will he 115. In ^ny_event Cleveland has-been elected by an immense majority, and Harrison is beaten from Maine to Mexico?South of Mason and DLxon's line?north of Mason and Dlxon'ii line?in the East and in the W^t-rever;rwhere. No greater honor could be paid a man than was heaped upon Grover Cleveland last election, day by the free and intelli - gent American citizens. He was not elected by any class or race or section. He was the people's cho?ce. WHV CLEVELAND WAS ELECTED. The electloirof"(Sover^levehrffd was 'due to the position of his party and him? self on the tariff question more than to any other one cause. The burden of tax? ation imposed by the Republicans in the .- passage of the McKinley bill had ground and robbed the people until it became a matter of self-preservation with them to ' nave that infamous measure stricken from the Statute books. They could see and ftol the evil effects of that legislation every day of their lives, and having fully Ja wakened to what desperate extremes the Republican party would go in the mat? ter, they declared their disapprobation of in the most emphatic manner possible the 8th inst Tuesday's vote-was a vote for cheaper clothing, cheaper food, oheaper iron, ...steel, tin, cheaper everything that goes to make life comfortable and pleasant. It/was. the stentorian voice of a great people demanding justice for the mass of the people rather than protection for a class. Tho first duty of tho Democrat if; party ill be to relieve the people of this exces? sive jmd rjiiuons taxation. Another flagrant outgrowth of Repub? lican administration was a pension ap? propriation that had reached the fabulous in its dim ensions. During this year $143, - 000,000 will be distributed among the "beggars in blue." This sum cannot be raised except by robbing the people. The pension office is a disgrace to the country. While Cleveland was Presi? dent he vetoed a good many pension bills. That raised a storm of howls against Mm, bnt awhile before the elec? tion an ex-commander of the G. A. R., made an examination of the bills thns vetoed and he found them to be fraudu? lent claims. He was converted to Cleve? land and led many of the old union sol? diers with him. The demand for a pen? sion roll that will be a roll of honor has become a popular demand. It is doubt? less true that the pension appropriation could be decreased by $100,000,C 00 without doing the worthy pensioners any harm. Grover Cleveland was known to have d financial views, and ho is not ahead of his party in that respect. Doubt? less the promise of the repeal of the 10 i per cent, tax on State banks of issue won many supporters for the Democracy. The force bill proved a keen weapon to t turn against the party of fraud and force. -.Intelligent and brave people could not endorse so infamous a measure. But apart from the party principles .'represented by Mr. Cleveland, his whole Bfe, public and private, has given evi? dence of the great wisdom, the sterling honesty, the genuine courage and tho broad statesmanship of tho man. Tho immense vote given him was a deserved tribute to tbe individual worth of tho candidate. In a word, the defeat of the "Grand ' Old Party" was due to Democratic vir? tues assisted by Republican vices. And jthe defeat was little short of an an nih na? tion._ The friends of Maj. E. B. Murray have gained his consent to allow them to use his name as a candidate for the position of United States District Attorney for South Carolina, and they have determin? ed at the proper time to use every effort possible to secure his appointment. Maj. Murray needs no commendation from our pen, as every citizen of South Caro? lina who is acquainted with him knows that no lawyer iu the State is better qual? ified for the position than he. Tbe posi? tion of District Attorney is one that should be filled by the best talent, and Maj. Murray ranks in that class. He is a loyal, energetic Democrat, and has done faithful work for his people and party since he was old enough to vote. The Government's interests would be well cared forby him, and our people would be more than pleased to see him Ailing MeT~pbsition of District Attorney for South Carolina. A western capitalist says: "Ourpov? erty is rather comparative than real. We have men with incomes of $100,000 n year and more. Besides those colossal for? tunes tho man who supports a family on ?9 a week appears poor indeed. And yet a man may support a family very comfortably on $9 a week if ho will set properly about it. They may have snug and cheerful rooms, comfortable clothing and plenty of healthy food. The great, trouble in this country is that men acquire luxurious habits beforo they ?ro able to indulge them. Tho man who earns but a ?1.50 a day must have, his toddy and his cigar; must patronize the : -barber and the street cars as though he earned rive times that sum. His wife and children must dress as expensively as those of men with twice his income, and the result is that instead of being happy and independent, he is evor be? tween the devil of pride and the deep sea of debt. All Americans expect to bo rich some day; some fortunate turn of the tide is to bring their long-delayed ship to port, and they go on living be? yond their means in anticipation of that 'good time' which Is always coming, but seldom arrives. 1 am not theorizing; I have lived on ?9 a week and supported a famiiy. We wero just as comfortable, then as wo are now. We were just as rich, for we had everything thfct we actually needed, and paid cash for it." The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier Bays: "The mooting of the trustees of Clem son College on Friday for the first time in months had every member of the board present. Tho meeting had been called to make the report to the Legislature. Chairman Simpson will prepare the report. It was the sense of the board that an appropria? tion be asked to finish the work on the College Unless the Legislature makes the desired appropriation the board states that it will not be able to open the College next Spring as contemplated. It is desir? ed that tho Legislature send a special committee to Clemson to look <.verth& premises. The board s-*ys that it invites inspection and hopes that the State will see what has been done. The work is very well advanced. The five houses for the professors are nearly completed. Three of them are already occupied. The dormitory is practically completed and the main building is well advanced. Unless the Legislature makes an appro? priation things will be muoh delayed and complicated." We think tho Legis? lature should grant the appropriation asked for, and let the College be com? pleted as soon as possible. It has been standing In its present condition long enough. It is thought that $50,000 will be sufficient to complete the work. mo m mmm. Mr. Latimer, Congressman elect from this District, having let his tongue get ahead of his judgment and placed him? self on record as not going to abide the Democratic caucus in Washington, has put himself outside of the Democratic fold, and of course cannot expect any favors from the Democracy. He is cer? tainly in an awkward position, represent? ing as he will a Democratic District, but he has nobody to blame but himself. The other Alliance Congressmen from South Carolina were too sharp to utter any such foolish remarks, and they will have some influence with the powers that be in Washington. Mr. Latimer's utter? ances-released every true Democrat from his obligation to support him in the general election, but for the sake of peace and harmony he was not opposed, as it was known ho could do no harm in Con? gress. His utterances have placed him in just the same position that Tolbert or Russell or Tom Watson, would have occupied, had either of them been elected. Mr. Latimer's position and utterances have done much to encourage-iliaT.ij+rd party element in the upper section of the State, and we hope he will see the error of his way and conclude to fight his battles inside tbe Democratic party?tbe party of tbe people?which demands "equal rights to all and special privilege:-, to none." _ A tabulation of estimated majorities for the Presidential candidates for tbe respective States shows that Cleveland will have an overwhelming plurality over Harrison?something like three quarters of a million?and that he will have a large majority of all the votes cast The excess of the vote for Cleve? land over the combined vote for Harri? son and Weaver is variously estimated at from 430,000 to 590,000, and it will prob? ably exceed half a million. "No strong? er proof than this eould be given," says the Philadelphia Record, "of the extent of the popular movement in favor of tax reduction. The advocates of monopoly and special privilege are in a really piti? ful and contemptible minority." Already preparations are under way for the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland, March 4th, next. It is the intention of Democratic organizations in the larger cities to make it more notable than any similar event that has preceded it. Tam? many Hall, of New York, tho Harrity Club, of Philadelphia, Iroquois Club, of Chicago, and other similar organizations have already sent representatives to Washington to secure accommodations for their members who will be present and participate in the event. Estimates are heard fixing the number of mnrchers in the procession to celebrate t^e return of the Democratic party to power at 50, 000. _ _ Representative Baily of Texas, the young Congressman who was so widely and so highly commended during the last session of Congress for his refusal to accept his salary for days he was absent from sessions of the House by his own free will, has fallen from his high posi? tion on the mountain of reform and accepted tho money for tbe days he was absent, just like any ordinary, everyday politician, who is ont for the "stuff," thus shattering another hope and further post? poning the time when government busi? ness shall be conducted upon tho samo principles that govern private business. ' Tho Democratic leaders are idready speculating on Cleveland's Cabinet. Wm. C. Whitney can have what he wants as first choice, and is spoken of for Secretary of State. Chairman Harrity is slated for Postmaster Gereral and Don Dickinson for a good place, (lov. Gray, of Indiana, Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, Qov. Russell, of Massachusetts, Cable, of Illi? nois, Breckinridge, of Kentucky, Wilson, of West Virginia, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia, aro among those mentioned for positions. Our gallant old statesman, Wade Hampton, has beon suggested for Secretary of War. According to tho Now York Evening Post, "tho recent election seoms to estab? lish the fact that there is a twenty-year period of 'tidal waves' in our President? ial contests. In 1S32 Jackson, running for re-election, secured 219 electoral votes, to 49 for Clay, 11 for Floyd and 7 for Wirt. In 1S52 Pierce beat Scott ?all to pieces,' winning 254 electoral votes to Scott's 42. In 1872 Grant, as a candidate for a second term, swept tbe country, se? curing 286 out of 366 electoral votes. Fi? nally, in 1892, Cleveland has beon elected by from 275 to 300 out of 444 electoral votes."_ New York is sneezing. Grip has made its appearance there after an absence of some months. The health authorities do uotbeliovo that the diseaso will assume an epidemic form, though several deaths from it havo occurred during the past few days. Whitney S?d liM and Campbell and scores of bth era did splendid work for the DeOMYeracy and contributed to tho grand success of the party, and each one of the'ji would make a good president and is worthy of the position, but we predict, though it is looking far ahead, th at Adlai E. Stevenson will be promoted trom the vice-presidency to the presi? dency four years hence. Remember that. The attention of the Third party calam? ity howlers is directed to tho fact that cotton went up with a.jump tho day after Cleveland's election. This one fact will he of more benefit financially to the far? mers of the South than all of tho Oc:;la demands. The election of Cloveland may not havo raised tho prico of cotton from 8 to 9 cents, but his election will benefit tho South more than that. A reduction of the tariff taxes will save more to tho South ia ono year than an increase of 0110 cent a pound for the entire cotton crop. LONG LITE THE REPUBLIC I TP bat is Tli ought of Four More Tears More of Grovor. [From the New York Herald, Ind.] The result is a popular triumph for national congratulation. It is tho .voice of the American people that there shall be in this country no English cheap labor. [New York World, Dein.] It is a great victory, well and worthily won. The Democratic party displayed .the courage of its convictions in its nomi? nation for President. It wanted Grover Cleveland as its candidate nnd it nomi? nated him. It bolioved in its principles and boldly declared them. Courage and honesty have won. Long live the Re? public ! [Baltimore American, Rep.] Concerning the routine of the Govern? ment there is no reason to entertain ap? prehension. Mr. Cleveland has been President before, and though he was not by any means a model official he display? ed a certain amount of conservatism in domestic administration, which insures safety in the future, especially as he has now a large amount of experience to guide him. His former experience ought to be of great advantage to him in man? aging the foreign affairs of the nation. [Florida Times-Union, Dem.] It's "four moro years of Grover," sure enough, and glory enough for ono day. The result ia a rebuke against the robber tariff of the Republican party, the Repub? lican force bill and Republican extrava gnce in the conduct of tbe Government, ?publican defeat cannot be explained away upon any other grounds. So it's good-bye to the grandson and tho hat and another welcome to the "man of des? tiny." [Norfolk Virginian, Dem.] It is a wonderful -victory for the cause of right, the cause of good government, the perpetuation of civil and religious liberty- and a thorough union of all the States. Sectionalism will no longer con? trol the Government of the country. The danger of usurpation by the few of the rights of the masses has passed away, and, it is hoped, for ever. The people have exercised the great right of fran? chise in an emphatic manner, and the verdict of their course is the guarantee tbat the Republic is safe. [Macon, Ga., Telegraph, Dem.] There is a happy nation this morning. Thousands of Republicans stayed away from the pells because tbey could not approve their party's policy. There must have been many more thousands whose sense of loyalty carried them to the polls, but who at heart disapproved that polioy. These will not grieve when the Democratio millions rejoice in their deliverance from McKinleyism and the force bill. [Raleigh, N. C, Chronicle, Dem.] His election is the people's victory. It is a triumph of the people over the money power and tariff barons of the Republi? can party. It is a clear resul t on the tari ff issue and shows that the country is for tariff reform. The House of Representa? tives is Democratio by a large majority and the Senate will be Democratio after the 4th of March. JEfcis- will glvo the three department to the Democratio partylior-tiTe first time since the war. ichiaresult is the triumph of political ' morality and public decency and argues well for the perpetuity of our Republican institutions. [Baltimore Sun, Dom.] Tho Democratic victory in New York in 1892, contrasted with the defeat of 18S8, illustrates the value of harmony to tbe party in the Empire State. It illustrates also the potency of honest leadership to secure harmony. With a man like j Cleveland as the acknowledged head of the Democratic host New York is not a doubtful State and should not be so , accounted. In this campaign a righteous j&sue had a worthy oxponent. The case was the same in 1888, but the people had not then had time to think it all out. ; Now the Democratic party reaps the reward of adherence to principle and of continued loyalty to its best adviser. The campaign of education has brought about the expected result. Philadelphia Inquirer, Rep. The contest is over. There are sur? prises, and Illinois heads the list. No Republican believed the State in danger. No Democrat really claimed it. The city of Chicago has done the work. As for New York the result there has shown that that State is Democratic when the Democrats are united. They wero united this year, and this fact, added to a certain apathy which kept many Republicans at home, gives the thirty-six electoral votes to Cleveland. The country has spoken. The majority J of the citizens of the States have given their verdict. To this verdict all must bow. The result is not as the Inquirer would have had it, but the Republican party has been overruled, and every good citizen will accept the decision. [Washington Post, Rep.] To Mr. Cleveland upon his success the Post extends its sincerest congratula? tions. The wisdom of his nomination from a Democratic standpoint is trium? phantly vindicated. He was nominated in the face of an adverse delegation from his own State. He is elected with the party in New York never before so har? moniously organized, and his bitterest opponent of six months ago rendering him effective aud loyal support. He will doubtless give tbe country a clean, able and honest administration. He will re? turn to the Chief Magistracy with a prac? tical experience of its duties and obliga? tions that will stand him in good stead, and give so muoh the greater assurance of his acceptability and usefulness to the people, who havo so conspicuously hon? ored him with their confidenco. Norfolk, Va.. Landmark, Dom. It will mean the prompt checking of the tide of foreign immigration, which threatens to submerge the United States socially and politically. It will mean cheaper necessaries of life to the average man and woman all over tbe land. It will mean free raw material to all our manufactories and open markets in every part of the world for the products of this country. It will mean a restoration of the policy of tho Government in all res? pects to what is was in tbe beginning? the greatest good to the greatest number ?and will furnish a wonderful testimon? ial to the innate moral strength of Amer? ican manhood. It will mean the safety of our institutions and will again demon? strate the fitness of the men of this Union for self-government. [Atlanta Constitution, Dem.] Let the Democrats profit by tho lesson and remember in their administration of tho affairs of the Government that public officers are but representatives of the people, and that their efforts should be directed iu behalf of the wholo peoplo and not a part of them. Let them remember that tho Government belongs to the whole peoplo and that tho party which seeks to pervert its functions to tho build? ing up of a special class, protected and fostered by Federal favor at tho expense and injury of the great mass of tho peo? ple, will be doomed to unutterablo and inevitable defeat, sooner or later! Let them remember that tho inviolable sanc? tity of the ballot-box, and tho right of the peoplo to conduct their elections without the assistance of Federal bayo? nets or the intimidation of Federal dicta? tion, invokes the assertion of the supre mest privilege of every American citizen in hie right to vote as he pleases, without tbe interference of partisan intimidation. [New York Times, Dem.] The Chicago Convention, in taking Mr, Cleveland as its candidate, planted itself firmly on the ground of principle. It set forth" distinctly and honestly the policy for which it asked the approval of the country, and defined, without prevarica? tion or evasion, the issue on which it challenged tho party in power to %o beforo the peoplo. And throughout tho canvass it has fought on those lines. Tho campaign on tho Democratic sitlo has been one of candid and ablo discussion. Thoro has been no claptrap, no appeals ta purblind prejudice, no paltering iu a double sense with tho quoation of the day. It has been an aggressive campaign, but tho assaults havo been gallantly and steadily directed against ignorance, mis? representation and corruption. In tho overwhelming vote for Cleveland speaks the voice of tho conscience and intelli? gence of tho Republic. Tho victory is truly and profoundly a victory of tho independent voters, of the men who have abandoned tho Republican party bccauso it had abandoned right and justice and honor, and who uphold tho Democratic party because thut party was loyally pledged to reform. Happily for tho country and for tho Democratic party this bodj* of conscientious voter's have shown a power that will command res? pect, and can bo retained only on the con? ditions on which it was .?ecured. Tho victory is not over Republican partisan? ship alone, but over all blind partisan? ship. _ Who shall have the Spoils \ Columbia, November 10.?Tho quos tion as to who will havo anv inftuenco in the distribution of tho Federal offices in South Carolina is already being activol3' discussed. A gront many of tho good Dornocrats of the State may think?and have good reason for it?that tbe Till manites will not get any important por? tion of tho patronage. A great many moro would suppose that the Tillmaaites, considering tho official as well ?s the un? official abuso they heaped upon the shoul? ders of Grover Cleveland, would not havo the audacity to ask for office. Some may imagine that those leaders would not condescend to ask for office after they did everything possible at tho most critical time to prevent the nomina? tion of the only Democrat who could have won Buch a "cyclonic" victory. But Buch is not the case, for the politicians of that stump are "not built that way." Tbey will, so I am informod, make a fight for every Important plane, and it is suggested that they claim to have some assurances that they can get in a word to the powers at Washington Ui der Clove land. Anyway it is sure to be an inter? esting fight, and somebody will bo sur? prised at the result. It is stated on pretty good authority hero that Cleveland has expressed him? self that he would remember the action of the May Convention and those who took part in it. Ho is expected use his indivdual discretion in the appointments left entirely to him, and tho Tillinanites are not quite so confident that they will havo any considerable influence with President Cleveland. The Congressmen, it is thought, will have pretty full con? trol of the appointments in their districts and in most of tho postoffice appoint? ments tho selections will be left mostly to the South Carolina delegation; but of them all Major Brewley, on aocount of his devotion to Cleveland and the truo Democracy, will bo facile princeps. There is already considerable talk about those who will have any influence with the Federal authorities. The Hemp hills?John J. and J. C?Gen. Hampton, Gen. Kennedy and Ex-Governor Thomp? son, it is said, will have a considerable influence with Cleveland, and any one of them could get a desirable appointment by the mere turning over of the hand. Gen. Hampton, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the head of tbe war department, it is understood, dot 8 not want it or any other office. His int .mate relationship to the war depart? ment as chairman of tbe war committee of t he Senate makes him thoroughly fa miliar with the affairs of that depart? ment. Gen. Leroy F. Youmans, who was dis? trict attorney, is out for the place which was taken away from him by the Re? publicans. Gen. Youmans was regarded as one of tho most efficient officers under President Cleveland. He is in high fa? vor with the National Democratic lead? ers, and has a great many political friends in this State among both factions. Col. Joseph H. Earle and Mr. Charles A. Douglass are also prominently mention? ed for the place. Had not W. C. Benet ms.de that bitter speech against Clove land in the May Convention he would perhaps already have been a candidate for th?i .place. Tho Tillmanites at this end of the lino, so far as can be understood, are disposed to leave Charleston to take care of her patronage, although tbere are some of the Ariti-Clevolandites who would like very much to bo collector of the port of Charleston. There are a great many idle rumors about the various offices. Tho general opinion is that tho Cleveland people be? fore the May Convention are "on the top'' of the heap. One of the rumors around tho city to-day was that Gen. Butler would be an applicant for some Federal ap pointment and in that way avoid bis big fight for the United States Senate. ?Dis? patch to News and Courier. What Will They Do With It. Washington, November 11.?There is a probability that tho 53d Congress will be called in extra session next March immediately after the inauguration of President Cleveland. The Senate will, ot course, be convened to act upon the nominations of the incoming President, but tbere is so much legislation for tbe Democrats to accomplish that it is the opinion of the party leaders that the the work cannot be commenced too soon. The great tidal wave of last Tuesday has brought with it complete control for the Democrats of every branch of the National Legislature. For the first time since the war that party will be domi? nant and will be enabled to place upon the statute books the laws which tho peo? ple have desired for so long in vain. The Senate is Democratic, overwhelmingly so, on questions affecting tho tariff, and at least a tie on organization. A general reorganization may be looked for next March, with the Democrats assuming control of the Senatorial olfioes and of the committees. Tho Democrats have not enjoyed this control since tho 4dth Congress, which met on tho first Monday in December, 1879, and adjourned on the 4th of March, 1881. In that Sonate thoy had a majority of nino. Tho first work for tho new Congress will be the preparation of a tariff bill. Upon this labor men like Springer. McMillin, Wilson, of West Virginia, and other tariff reformers, who have been leading "a hitherto hopeless fight, will enter with enthusiasm. Thoy are thor? oughly familiar with the subject and will bring to bear upon their task the experi? ence gained through many a patient in? vestigation and hard fought battle. There will be diverse interests to recon? cile and extreme views will have to be brought into a common focus, The responsibilities that now rest upon the Democrats are great, but no one doubts for ono moment that they will be acquitted with credit. As the groat tariff reformer and Ex-Congressman, Wm. R. Morrison, said to your correspondent, "The Democrats have been waiting for a good many years for the responsibilities to come, and tbey are not likely to shirk tbem now." But the tariff, while the most impor? tant matter to engage the attoution of the Democrats, is but one of a number of topics that must be legislated upon. For years that partisan action of a Republican Senate has defrauded throe Territories of the West of tbe rightof Statehood, simply because they cast Democratic majorities at each election. Idaho, Montana, Wyming, the two Dakotas and Washing? ton were all admitted without question because the Republicans knew that by their admission tho votes in tho Repub? lican electoral column would bo materi? ally swelled and a dozen Republican Sen? ators sent to tho National Capital to swell tho majority of that party. If It had not been for this action the Democrats would long sinco havo been in control of the Senate. Happily the day of righteous? ness and justice has como at last. New Mexico, which has beon vainly seeking Statehood for many long years, will enter tbe Bisterhood through the agoncy of a Democratic Houso and Sen? ate, and Arizona aud Utah will also be admitted. This will give the Democrats nine additional electoral votes? and will, moreover, add six Democratic votes to tbe Democratic sido of tho Sonato cham? ber, Tho present Houso has already passed Acts for tho admission of Now Mexico and Arizona, so that as soon as tho new Congress comes in it will not take long for both houses to agree upon a simple act of justice to tho defrauded Territories. Tho repeal of tho Federal election laws, which have been a disgrace and a blot upou tho statute books, will bo another important thing to demand tho attention of the Democrats. This will bo done so quickly that the heads of the Republi? cans will swim with tho rapidity of the action. Then thero will bo financial legislation which will demand careful thought and study. Altogether it is not difficult to see that if tho Democrats hope to accom? plish the work which is laid out for them to do thoy will have to commence next Spring. Thoro is already considerable gossip about the Spoakersbip of the next House. A good many Democrats think that Mr. Crisp will be re-elected, but it must be admittod that this feeling is not unani? mous. However, thoro aro yet several months in which this question can be discussed and settled. In the meantime thero is no doubt of tho unanimity of opinion among all men in the party that tho iniquitous tariff must be reformed as quickly as possible, and this work will bo begun, tho country may rest assurod, at tho rory earliest practicable wojaejit, ?
