Every effort should be .ade to disabuse their minds of this t; atrocious falsehood, and convince them tint Democrats are their natural allies while Republican ism, has always been aa advocate of monopoly and antago? nistic to labor.

They believe but for his absurd speech, Blaine would have been elected, and some of them take much pleasure io telling him so, and as Dr. Borchard hates Cleveland most pro? foundly, lt most be gall and wormwood to his political soul to think that an ut? terance from his tongue should have S>en him the victory. Most of Blaine's d look doriog the campaign came frost his friends ; and next to a de- j wont prayer that he should be pre ven t 8 sd from writing any more letters should be added aoother to deliver him frost bis friends, especially of the Dr. Borchard stripe, who have all the venom of a serpent but none of its wisdom. Tbs ekse contest in New York in the vote 1er President is not the first' of the kind by any means. The following are eases in point : In 1840, when Harrison ran against Yan Buren, there was a . difference in the vote in Maine of only 411, in Michigan of 1,835, in Pennsyl? vania of 1,315, io a total vote of 287. W7, and in Virginia of 1.392 Be ' tween C v and Polk in 1844 there wera ditfereuces in Louisiana of 701 votes, to New Jersey 823, and in Ten Besses, Polka home, Clay lcd him by * last IIS votes. In 1848, between Tay? lor and. Cass, tbe difference between votes for the two was : In Alabama 981, Deleware 523. Iowa 1,009 Mis ^ sMppi 615- abd Virginia, 1,462. ^ ^NJTbe London Times in a leader de ^Jstothe American Presidential con ,-^N|Jt is unlikely that there will ^^kmpi to contest the j^^^^^^"!^^r*VKaine k a man speaker, bat he has unhappily identi? fied himself with speculative schemes and the moneyed interests. Cleveland has few brilliant qualities. His public career has been comparatively brief and modest, bot has shown a high sense of publie doty and will faithfully dis? charge his trust without favoring either the magnates of Wall Street or the demagogues. It is to be hoped that \ Bayard will accept office under Cleve? land. Bayard is a man of the highest integrity and ability and will not dis? credit the best traditions of American diplomacy. The Democrats must now show that they are true to the princi? ples of political purity and admioistra trative reform. The recent electoral contest, especially on thc Republican side, bas disclosed* the existence of widespread corruption, which has alarmed honorable men io all parties.7 CLEVELAND'S ELECTION. As each passing day makes Cleve? land's success more and more an assured fact, new ideas are continually springing into existence as to the result of this great political change. One lachrymose Republican has it that Cleveland' installation into the White House will mean the pensioning of Southern soldiers, the payment for negroes set free and a general raid on the Treasury by Southern Brigadiers which would bear no comparison with the petty stealing by Northern thieves. But the most vicious suggestion, aod one that is causing much distress to the blind followers of the Republicao party -the negroes-is the tale that they are to be reduced to slavery. In refutation of this characteristic Republican lie the. Wilmiogtoo Star says: Cleveland's election meaos oo more nor less than a return to honest, sim? ple economical methods, it means that the laws will be executed fairly and justly. It means no harm to any good citizen of any race or color. Under Cleveland the negroes will find protection, and every right they now have will be maintained io the fullest extent. There is no occasioo for fear or apprehension on the part of any negro who behaves himself and at? tends to his own business without molesting others. TIte rights and liberty of every colored man in the United States are just as assured, are just as safe, will be just as well pro? tected under Cleveland as will be the rights and liberty of any white man in the whole land. Columbia in an Ecstacy. The correspondent of the News and Courier ?wes a graphic report of the monster procession and Mass Meeting in Columbia last Friday night. He says : We certainly painted thc town red to-night. The electric lights bumed brilliantly at every corner of Main street, from the State-House to the Postoffice, and midway of every square they sent out a searching glare. There j were fifteen lights on six squares. That was enough. At 7 o'clock the Demo ; eratic hosts began to assemble at the Postoffice building, speedily filling their torches, which blazed, io token of triumph, as the clubs assembled at the rendezvous. The first io Hoe were the irrepressible drummers. They bad gathered from ail quarters of the com? pass. There were fifty "of them, attired in Mother Hubbard dresses, forming the Belva Lockwood Brigade, and each bearing a torch. It is needless to say that they formed a conspicuous feature of the celebratioo, and were roudly applauded oo their march. * After giving a leogthy descriptioo of the different organizations io the pro? cession and the numberless mottoes and transparencies, the writer says : "As the long and blazing Hoe of a thousand torches passed by, every available window was crowded with ladies, aod the sidewalks were jammed. Many of the business houses aod the hotels were illuminated with Japanese lanterns, ?ic, and the scene was a brilliant one. All along the Hoe of ' march the cheerio g by thc people aod the paraders was incessant. Shortly before 8 P. M. the proces sioo, followed by a great multitude of people, entered the State-House grounds, which were lit by electricity. Reeves' Band occupied a stand near the Confederate monument, draped with national flags. At the steps of the State-House another stand bad been erected. This was surrounded by a dense mass of people, embracing many ladies, and hundreds of colored people. The arrival of the prcccssioo was sig nalized by a liberal Sight of rockets aod roman caadles, great cheering, aod Dixie by Reeves* Band. The torch-bearers gathered thickly about the stand with their enthusiasm j aod transparencies. From the State House to Main street the grounds were in a few minutes blocked with a dense crowd of people. There were thousands upoo thousands. People say that oct even io 1S76 had Columbia seen such a j crowd. The railroads had considerately postpooed the departure of their excur sioo trains until 10 30 P. M., so that every visitor could be preseot. Wheo the rockets had subsided, Couoty Chairman Marshall, amid cheer? ing, which rendered his words almost j inaudible, introduced ex-Governor Ha good, who had been designated as the permanent chairman of the meeting." Ex-Governor Hagood presided and Goveroor Thompsoo, Seoators Butler and Hampton, each addressed the audi ? ence, which was io a most enthusiastic humor. j It was the grandest demonstration Columbia has had io many a year. The people were reinvigorated by a telegram wjiieh Senator Butler read from Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, saying that there was not oue doubt of Cleveland's electioo by the vote of New York. General Manager of A. C. L. It is announced that Mr. Harry ; Walters, son of William T. Walters of Baltimore, has been appointed General ! Manager of the Wilmington and Wel? don, and Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroads, in place of Colonel R. R. Bridgers, resigned. The ap? pointment took effect on the 1st of November. Thc roads mentioned com prise the ?bole ?tlaotic -Coast Li oe, from Richmond to Charleston, connect? ing at the latter city with the line to Florida and New Orleans. Mr. Walter's headquarters will be in Bal? timore. Ia connection with his father he has been largely interested in South? ern railroads for some years, and espe? cially in those comprising the Atlantic Coast Line. The Colored People. Chronicle and Constitutionalist. Many colored people are reported to be in a state of nervous apprehension lest the election of Cleveland should mean their restoration to slavery or some other kind of .bondage. This shows how the Republican poli? ticians have grossly deluded and duped the black people for selfish purposes. It also demonstrates how unfit for suf? frage the vast hedy of freedmen must be. It also proves the necessity of a Demo? cratic administration to rescue these poor creatures from a slavery of the mind that is much worse than any phy? sical servitude. Some of our people qualified for the task, might, if the game be worth the candle, agree to address the colored people in a plain way upon the situation of affairs. They should be taught that no laws bearing upon their freedom are impaired or even threatened by a change v * Presidents. They should be taught that an administration that is national and not sectional, is not only better for the country everywhere, but better for them. They may be assured that, at the end of a four years of Democratic administration, not one legal right they now enjoy will be menaced, much less overthrown. The worst that can happen to any colored people is loss of office. Some individuals will no doubt have to make a living in some other manner than at Government expense ; but what a drop in thc bucket is that personal loss, to which white and black arc liable, to the mass of negroes who never had a public position and never expected one ? As to slavery. If the Southern white men, to-morrow, were permitted to restore it, they would decline with thanks. We misjudge the Southern white man's character, if, during a Dem? ocratic administration there shall not be a much better understanding between both races, and a much more wholesome comprehension of thc true relations between them. The negroes iu the South have, un? der Republican power and deception, been like a hostile army encamped in this section. They have been drilled to suspect and dislike the white men who employ them and who consent to be taxed for the education of their chil? dren. Under a peaceful Democratic administration, the friendship of the black man a nj his gratitude may be awakened when facts disarm suspicion and distrust. We look to Cleveland's administra? tion for a wise solution of the negro problem that never could have come from a sectional partisan,like Blaine. [From our Regular Correspondent.") WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 15, 1884. In two weeks Congress will assemble. Three months .later President Cleve? land will be inaugurated. From cow until the fourth of March the Capital will bo in a ferment. After the fourth of March the ferment will not be able to express itself in anything milder than explosions. In the midst of this joyous, solemn crisis' it behooves the Democratic party to be calm, and clement. Turn the rascals out, turn some of thc already marked and condemned rascals out not later than the fifth of March, but after they are out, hasten slowly, or you will hurt some who are the reverse of ras? cals, and you may hurt the Democratic party irremediably. You have heard of defeats which were really victories ; let us beware that we do not allow our ! victory to prove a ruin. This is what our enemies are hoping and predicting ! it will do. But who are thc condemned rascals ? First, arc thc Dudleyites-those who like Dudley have left their desks and io defiance of Civil service laws and com? mon houesty, have been fighting for their country's enemy while receiving their country's pay. Treat them as much like deserters to the enemy as the conditions will allow. Capital pun? ishment is not allowed in politics, but happily you can take off their official heads. They have had their trial. Off with their officious official heads! Then there is another set who may not be Dudleyites, but they were ap? pointed by Hayes and their tenure is an outrage against Vox populi et vox Dei. These special appointees of Hayes, Sherman, (Chandler, Evarts. Kellogg et al, should go without dis? crimination. For eight years they have eaten the bread of theft. It is too long, too long, O ! Lord. Let that crime be avenged at once, so far as may be. For this reason the talk of offer? ing Schurz a place in the Cabinet is sacrilege, treason, bane, and wormwood, or worse, if you know a name for it. Schurz was Hayes' Secretary of thc Interior, and genteel banishment to the Court of Vienna is good enough for him. It is true that Schurz worked \ for Cleveland and perhaps persur.ded a I few Germans to vote tor him, but thc j German vote did not materialize very i well in any important decisive strong ! hold. Wc Cire n - indebted to it for j the administration which is to be, and j if the iudependent Republican contiu- | gent must be recognized iu the Cabinet, it can be recognized by the appointment j of some one less obuoxious to Tilden, to I Hendricks, and to the party that elect? ed them in 1S7(5 than Hayes' ex-cabi? net officer. The next class of rascals that should be turned out arc not so emphatically rascals as they are itu s. They do not work, were not appointed to work. They are thc sons, nephews, cousins, nieces, daughters, aunts, mothers-in law and friends of prominent Republi? cans, and when I say they do not work, I mean precisely what I say. It is j notorious, and honest Republican office holders will bear me out in thc asser? tion, that there arc hundreds on the pay rolls who do practically no work, while there arc many who do not work one half their time. These people are paid at the rate of from ?900 to $'2,500 per annum, and their presence on thc pay rolls is a crying shame. The government offices are much be? hind with their work. If the govern? ment had an honest enterprising com? petitor, it would go into bankruptcy in two weeks. It is not managed on busi? ness principles, aud-could" not be kept np except by extortionate taxation. It pays more for service, and every speci of supplies than the same caa be boug for ia open market. Only those wi have lived long in Washington ai been behiud the scenes can have ; adequate knowledge of the profliga* and dishonesty that have been festen during the loog Republican mal-admi istration.
