How II Looks IN Columbia.
COLUMBIA, November s,

Q.
The State Capital is very happy to. day
and the face of every honest man is
wreathed in smiles. Every body is in q
good huinor except the Gfeenhackers and
their miserable allies. The Republicans
are completely overwhelmed by tile
Northern deluge.
The election in this county md through.
out the State was the most liet and or.
derly ever held Not a sint lie violation
of the law, has been reported, and every
citizen had the right TO vote rs he pleas.
ed without intimidation Of any kind. In
Columbia quite number Of colored men
voted the straight Democratic ticket for
State aud county officers. although it is
openly boasted by some of the leading
Republicans that the negroes in the
county cast at least 9S per cent. Of their
votes against the Democrats.
asked Col. Thompson this morning
what he thought Of the result in this
State and the Democratic victories in the
North. He said: The results of yes
terday's elections in this State indicate
that the white people Of South Carolina
arc as united as they have been since 1876,
and that they have received large ac.
cessions from the colored vo,ers. 1t
teaches the Independents and the Green.
hackers that they will have no foothold
here in 1884, and has disorganized all
their plans. A wise and conservative
policy in the State will not only keep the
white people solid but will Increase their
accespions from the Republican ranks.
II insures absolute harmony between the
races, and the increased prosperity of all
classes Of our people.
The results of the elections In the
other States are most gratifying snd point
to the aucceRs Of the Democratic Presi.
DENTAL ticket in 1854, which nothing but
Democratic mistakes can prevent. by
rigid adherence to the Constitution of
the United States and to the principles
OF Democracy, from which there has been
too much departure in the past, there is
every reason to hope for q sweeping Dem.
ocra,ic victory in 1884. No party can
succeed which abandons time. hOuored
principles for the sake of expedency.
The Greenback movement in this
State had no strength from the beginning
except that which it received from the
Radicals, and its crushing defeat yester-
day leaves it in hopeless condition"
Gen. James +. 1zlar, chairman Of the
State Democratic Executive Committee,
says: $50 far as the Greenbnckers are
concerned it Is my prediction that every
one of them will be in open alliance with
The Republicans in 1854. The lines will
be as sharply drawn then as now or ever,
and the fight will then be between the
Democrats and the Republicans. This
is the end of the independent movement
in South Carolina. 1t is crushed out
successfully. They will never get auy
more accessons from the Democratic
party, aud those who have gone with the
independents must now of necessity 90
into the Radical party whero they prop.
erly belong. They should be treated rs
traitors 10 the Democratic party and to
honest home rule in South Carolina, and
with less forgiveness than the regular
republicans, who had the honesty and
boldness to sail under their true coors,
while the Independents have CLOSED
over their dishonest Intentions for the
purpose Of advancing selfish ends and to
crafty unworthy ambition. Walker
Russell and Hendrix Rfci.ane are worse
enemies of South Carolina than Swails,
Whittemore, Webster or the 'RobbeT
Governor ever WERE
There is more in the Northern Demo.
cratic victories than the crushing Git OF
bossism, and if suitable candidate for
President is selected by the Democrats
be will be triumphantly elected in 1884.
The coming man in my opinion is Grover
Glegelenh
There should be new departure In
Congress-. What we want in the politics
OF the day are live issnea. A pronounced
Free Trader should be elected Speaker of
the House by the Democrats, and good
point will be won to begin with."-I e.
