/ THE IssUEs.-The South could have been
solid in no nobler cause than that identified
with Cleveland's candidacy. The South
was practically solid for pure and ecOnom-
ic administration of the Government; for
return to constitutional methods; and for
general overhauling of all departments
where investigation was needed after SO
many wears of temptation and license. The
South was solid against the advancement of
man who had no moral claim to sit in the
chair of state once occupied by Washington,
Jefferson, Adams, Jackson and Lincoln.
The South was solid against sectional ha-
treds and race issues engendered by Repub
lican officials. 1t was solid against monop-
oily and 'eras of good stealing" 1t was SOL
id for all that was best in the Republican
party and cleanest in the Democratic party.
1t was solid for Union in fact and not
merely in name. 1t was solid for the tax
payer and laborer alike. 1t was solid for a
redeemed country in harmony with all its
parts, and compelling the respect as we'll as
! the admiration Of the world. The South
was solid for it's own preservation as we'll as
the common welfare of the Union. Good
and true men respect these potent reasons
for the solidarity of this section, and we have
no call to blush for such cause and such
an unbroken front.-Aug,tsta Chronicle.
THOUSANDS OF CONGRATULATIONS
Albany dispatch of Saturday says: The
wires are still burdened with kilograms of
congratulation for Governor Cleveland. All
day long messengers have been running
from the telegraph office to the Capi5ol with
packages of messages expressing satisfaction
and 10Y over the result of the election. That
the mass of the people has concluded that
the result of the Presidential contest is de-
termined is shown by the character of the
dispatches. They come from every part of
the Union. In one batch that was deliver
ed this afternoon were greetings from New
York, Louisiana, Wyoming, Alabama, and
Boston. Every State and Territory is rep
resented in the 5000 kilograms which have
been received since Thursday morning.
Col. Lamont, who assumes charge of the
Governors correspondence, has been able
to do nothing for two days but receive and
arrange dispatches. AS yet there is no let
up in the flood of congratulations. The call
ers are also very numerous, and all are cor
daily received by the next President, un-
less he is specially engrossed in business.
His bearing since his election has not alter
ed particle. He seems more unconcern-
ed about his advancement than any other
man in the Capitol. There is no change in
the regular routine that he has observed
since he has been in the GubernatOrial chair.
ASOUTH CAROLINA MARRIAGE SCHEME.
At recent wedding reception in South
Carolina a young lawyer begged leave to
offer new scheme Of matrimOny, which
he believed would be beneficial. He pro-
posed that zone man in the company should
be selected as president; that this presi-
dent should be duly sworn to keep entirely
secret all communications that should be
forwarded to him in his official department
man and lady should write his or her name
on a piece of paper, and under it the name
of the person they wished to marry, then
hand it to the president for inspection, and
if any gentleman or lady had reciprocally
chosen each other the president was to in
form each of the result, and those who had
not been reciprocal in their choice keep en-
tirely secret" After the appointment of
the president communications were accor-
dinghy handed up to the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gentle
men had made reciprocal choices, but whom
they had chosen remained secret to all
but themselves and the president. Eleven
of the twelve matches were afterwards SOL
emniZed.
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE CONTEST
The London Times of last Saturday, COM
menting upon the result of the Presidential
election, says:
"It is unlikely that there will be any Sc
rious attempt to contest the result of the
election. Blaine is man of great gifts and
is an accomplished speaker, but he has un
happily identified himself with speculative
schemes and the moneyed interests. Cleve-
land has few brilliant qualities. His public
career has been comparatively brief and
modest, but he has shown high sense of
public duty and will faithfully discharge his |
trust without favoring either the magnates
of Wall streetor the demagogues. 1t is to
be hoped that Bayard will accept office un-
der Cleveland. Bayard is a man of the
highest integrity and ability and will not
discredit the best traditions of the American
diplomacy. The Democrats must now show |
that they are true to the principles of politi-
cal and administrative reform. The recent
electoral contest, especially on the Republi-
can side, has disclosed the existence of wide
spread corruption which has alarmed hon
orable men in all parties"
In truly conciliating spirit the Angus
ta Chronicle and C0'estitMlondttst remarks:
"Good Democrats, especially good Southern
Democrats, will not infame the public mind
unnecessarily against Jay Gould or any OBJ
noyious millionaire It is not necessary to
call upon the mob to make Cleveland's
election secure. Besides, Mr.. Gould, what
ever his faults, has congratulated Gov:
