Springfield ulD telegram, 18th.
Will H. Herman, ex-editor of the
Okolona States, is now in Springfield,
and in an interview with reporter of
the State Journal, expressed himself as
very happy over the result OF the elec-
ton. He said:
"Not only have we captured the
capitol and the white-house, but have
no doubt We shall have majority in the
Judicial department of the government
within year from to-day. Cleveland
will have to yield to the control of the
southern wing of the democracy, whose
sentiments we're endorsed by seven
tenths of our party during the war, and
are endorsed at heart by them to day.
Union democrats and Beecher, black re-
pubiicans or independents, constitute
feeble faction in our camp, and we Lave
only used them as tools.'
When asked to give his views of the
ultimate object of the democracy under
the control OF it's southern wing. he said:
"The re-establishment Of the doctrine
OF state rights, the supervision of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,

of the tariff with q view to placing this

trade basis, and, at some convenient
period, the pensloning of ex.confederate
soldiers"
Further on, he says, the southern
democracy is firmly fixed in the doctrines
Of Calhoun and JEFF Davis, and "nullities

rawhides, tissue ballots, and terrorizing.

| When asked If he thought Cleveland
would submit to the dictation of the
solid south he said there was no quee.

When it was suggested that the re-
