South will have two places in President
Cleveland's Cabinet, and some think that
the Independent element, which cOntribu-

ical harm is the means of it's undoing.
Once again, the whirligig Of time brings
it's revenges. The vote Of the Southern
States is the safeguard of the Republic.
Governor Cleveland's majority over
Blaine in the Electoral College is 81, the

One of the most noticeable things in the
election in Virginia was the immense losses
sustained by Malone in the white districts
of Virginia. Even Riddlebergers county
gave Democratic majority. This election
was the first time that such a thing has
occurred since 1879. Malone, the little Re-
