says that hereafter North and South
will mean no more In politics than East
and Vest But we would just like TO
ask if the Solid South with its 1853
electoral votes, will not mean the same
as now?"
We answer our contemporary that we
hope the "Solid South" will always mean
just what 1t means now, and that is q
sincere and earnest wish and desire to
help In establishing good government
for our whole country, in which the rights
of all men in all sections will be fully
assured, and in which the lessons drawn
from the trouble of the r,s,t shall servo
to bind together our whole Union in nm
enduring and never-to be. broken peace
and mutual consideration for each other,
through which the great possibilities of
our grand country may be rapidly devel.

South Is oolid for peace and good govern.
ment. We believe the Democratic
victory will make our whole country so.
Let us not hereafter point to any Ameri.
can as citizen of the North or South
or West, but let us all alike feel just
pride in the fact that We are citizens of
the United States. The South has not
since the war enjoyed this privilege in itr
full measure, for men like Mr. inc
have constantly sought to fan anow the
dying embers of political strife, and have
desired to force upon us the Infamous
local governments which disgusted even
the decent Republicans in our midst.
The South has been solidly in favor Of
driving from power the political party
which thus, in every fourth year, menaced
the prosperity Of our States and the
harmony Of our nation. This has been
done, and we will be found to remain
true and solid in our attachment to the
traditions of our common country, and
in our efforts to promote the growth, the
prosperity and the harmony of our
Union of equal States. And now we
want to ask our contemporary If the
West will not likewise become solid with
Us in the pursuit of these worthy objects.
The argument used against the adop.
ton of no license for Anderson in the
election to day, that when We had o
dry ticket three years sgo, the prohibi.
ton against selling liquor was not
enforced, snd therefore that it Is useless
to try 1t over again should have no weight
s-ith she yoters. There have hsra very
considerable changes 7.,nce then In the
laws which bear upon this subject. The
city charter has been adopted, and by 1t
the Mayor has the whole responsibility
thrown upon him of enforcing the lava.
The experience of the city has been that
this Is much more efficient system than
the old trial by full Council. The
prohibition law not only can, but. we
predict will be, enforced ie Il Is adopted.
Mayor Tolly has the sagacity and the
resolution necessary to do It. When the
late Council passed the ordinance against
selling to Minors and persons of known
intemperate habits, many persons pre-.
dicted that IL wouid DO O failure, but a
few we'll directed and vigorous examples
convinced everybody that Mayor
Maxwell intended to enforce the law,
and the evil soon slmost entirely disap.

to sales by Druggists has been 80 amend.

Thus It will be seen that the "dry ticket

mean to predict that IL the prohibition.
lists carry the election to>day that nobody
will ever get drunk about here, but we
do believe that Il would almost do away
with drunkenness In Anderson, and would
reduce the amount Of liquor aold here by
from ninety 70 one hundred per cent.
This would save to tho people, and in
most cases TO the poor people, not less
than from thirty to fifty thousand dolls
