In reply To u question as to tho probable
action Of Congress with I regard
TO the tariff, Mir. Lamar said
It was highly improbable that any action
would be taken OH the tariff. this session.
Next session, however, there would be
proposed by the Democrats such schemes

1--WE are now" said the Senator,
THE foremost manufacturing nation in
the world. Our. industrial system is
so vast, SO: intimately blended with.
our whole social structure that the repre-

trusted to sec that no industry shall suffer
shock by reason OF legislation"
The Senator. was asked how the election
OF Cleveland was regarded in the South
with relation to its probable effects on that

~. cannot,n said he, make a bet
ter answer to that question : than
to refer you to General Cor
don's letter recently published. It
speaks the sentiment OF the whole South.
ern people, especially in its disclaimer OF
any purpose Of sectional agrandizment.
In my opinion the election will have the,
most desired effect in bringing the South
in hearty and cordial relations with the
North. Southern people do not regard
the selection as a triumph OF their section
or OF any section. They sim ply regard it,
as Indicating n triumph in. the nation Of
the principles oil good government. Out
of nearly5 ,000, ,00O votes cast for Clevc-
land, m ore than 5000, 900 were cast by the
people OF the North. Under his admins
trutionthe preponderance Of political forces
will continue to be Northern. The South
recognizes in the result of the election
placingiin power for the first time since
the war all administration not hostile
one, under which her people can heartily
support and cooperate with the National
Government, THIS bringing her highest
interests into more complete identifica-
ton with those Of the Nation,
and the feelings OF her people
into sympathy with those Of their North.
crn brethren. TO make that administra.
ton, one Of which the whole people may
beproud the people Of the South will con.
tribute every energy Of head and heart"
