The SAT- Lake Tribune =, the Mormons
went wild with delight over the result Of the
election. They apparently believe with the
southern white, that the days OF their per,e-
cuton are over.
Southern Democrats say they will insist
that the Attorney General and Postmaster
General shall be taken from their section. II
they can get these they will be content 10 have
the other Cabinet positions filled by Northern
Democrats.

stride toward free trade in thi. country, and
makes no attempt to conceal his satisfaction
over the result.
Now that Jay Gould. Vanderbilt and 9TH
er plutocrats are open champions Of the demo
cratic party, we shall hear no more about the
monopoly issue. That these gentlemen should
enthusiastically admire Mr.. Cleveland for his
veto Of the elevated railroad cent fare. IL not
surprising.
A Times special from Columbia, :. G.,
says A novel proposition has been made in
Chester county. :. C., 10 send brigade Of the
south Carolina "red shirt democrats to WASH
in.ton to participate in the Inauguration Of
President Cleveland. II is thought that one
hundred men from each Of thirty -four counties
arrayed in red shirts would be an impressive
spectacle. Instant steps TO accomplish the sug-
gestion have been taken. II is thought that
the appearance OF brigade Of red shirted
democrats ON the streets of Washington would
excite boundless enthusiasm among the demo-
Gratis Of the whole country.

Nothing is settled that is not right, is not
less political than religious truth. A solid
South, solid for the reasons and purposes well
understood, is an incessant provocation TO
agitation. The South is not without theory.
Ii is not acting merely upon prejudice. The
black man may live peaceably and his work
will be acceptable if he will quietly accept the
grade of peasant, and let politics alone, or il
he will vote as obedently slave. He will
do neither. The word peasant may be &C.
cepted in other lands, ii is abhorrent to Amer
Jean ears. A permanent qualification Of Amer
lean citizens, dividing men on the lines OF race
aud wealth and political control. is an impossi.
bility. An irrepressible vexation is before us.
