Tbs ekse contest in New York in the

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,

ing at the latter city with the line
to Florida and New Orleans. Mr.
Walter's headquarters will be in Bal?

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.

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. C. A. S.
