"FoRTUNATELY, Democratic rule is no I'M
tried experiment in this Nation. 1t is insepa-
rably linked with some of the grandest
achievements in craftsmanship that this coun-
try has ever seen, and its benefcent results
are still felt, albeit the country has for twenty
years or more been under the control Of as
bold gang of corruptionists as ever had ex-
istence'
Thus says the Atlanta Constitution, the
abest paper in the South and which has as
little of the leaven of disloyal recollections as
any paper in the South. For 'the grandest
achievements in craftsmanship" it rolls its
eye retrospectively to Democratic rule, of
which cts benefcent results are still felt, al
belt the country has for twenty years or more
been under the control of as bold q gang
of corruptionists as ever existed"
For twenty years OF more. That takes us
back to the corrupt rule" of Abraham Lin
coin and the benefcent results of Demo
cratic war waged by solid South The bene
fcent results of the Democratic rule of James
Buchanan are still felt in the war debt, the
outgrowth of that administration, amounting
to many hundred millions of dollars, and in
the untold and unreliable suffering of many
hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans,
fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
These benefcent results are palpable, and
are likely to remain for several decades TO
come. This is shaking the bloody shirt"

THE evidence Of fraud in the theft Of the
senatorial seat in Cook county, whereby the
Illinois Legislature will have two Democratic
majority on joint ballot seems to be con
elusive. The Corrected returns" are not in
harmony with the returns as first made, and
which correspondent closely with the return of
the votes for all the other candidates on the
ticket In order to steal this seat it is
necessary to make the returns show that the
Republican candidate, popular and respected
German, ran two hundred votes behind his tick
ct, of which there is no other evidence reported
other than the "'doctored" returns. The mat
ter will, doubtless, undergo thorough inves-
LEGATION, and the truth be made manifest
whether the theft can be prevented or not. A
seat in the United States Senate based upon
such barefaced steal and fraud would be
dishonorable to any other than Democrat,
and such Democrat as Carter Harrison

"NEw YORK, Nov. 18.-United States Sena-
tor Lamar has commenced suit in the United
States Circuit Court against the government
to recover 800, 900 for cotton taken from his
plantation in 1865"
If Senator Lamar has just claim against
the United States for cotton taken in 1865, he
has known it for nineteen years, and he has
slept on that knowledge nineteen years. This
is very thin sort of story, and the claim looks
fshy.
Now that the Democrats have elected their
President by the aid Of the solid South, the
ex-rebels will file all sorts of claims against
the United States The Senator wants to
start early. His claim is No. on the docket.
This item is the clearest and most conclusive
statement that could possibly be given as to
why the South went solidly Democratic. The
statement of the fact is sufficient; arguments
and comments are unnecessary. Who will
file the next claimi Whose case will be No.
q Will it be claim by jeff Davis. or Beau
regard, or Wade Hampton, or Hamburg But
lerG 1t matters little; they will all come, and
it will only be matter of time and the
question of the order in which the claims will
ha fled

IT is pleasant, now that the battle has been
fought, to find in the first editorial column of
that stanch Democratic paper, the New AL
bany Ledger, this paragraph benson of
peace:
eve have won great victory after pro-
tracted and hard fought battle. Now that it
is won, let us treat our adversaries with the
consideration that becomes brave men. Let
there be no personal abuse. Let us have no
recriminations They fought US long, and
hard and well. We conquered, and they fell
That should end all enmity. Partisanism
should cease"
Yet we would have felt better if, in the
column alongside also editorial, we had not
read several paragraphs in which Mr.. Blaine is
attacked with as rancorous and vicious an en-
ergy as prevailed before 1--WE won great vic

THE day after the election, in speech in
this city, Mr.. Hendricks said that he thought
about $4,000 removals would be about the
correct thing. In Pittsburg, yesterday, he
said, in an interview, in answer to the ques-
ton whether there would be clean sweep of
federal officers: GAS to my own views of the
matter, having thought SO little upon
the subject, cannot now give expression"
Is it possible that the cautious and Estates
manlike" Hendricks shot off his mouth in the
Circle without ever having thought of what
he was sayingR Mr.. Hendricks will have to
stand by that $4,000, or be will find "the
boys" dropping him like hot potato.

IT is not the new South that has triumphed
in the triumph of the Democratic party.
None Of the leaders of the new South are on
the roster of the victorious Democracy. 1t is
the old, rebellious South-the South saturated
with the virus of slavery, treason and
revolution. To the new South not
only the Republican party, but the
entire loyal North stretches forth glad hands,
If it were the new South that had been vic
torious, there would be no occasion for such

down the Democratic majorities in States
where it was strong enough to make itself
felt; the "old South" had full sway in such
dark corners as Texas, Mississippi, Alabama

THE woman suffrage party lay back on its
oars during this campaign, taking no part in
the contest, because, both candidates being
in favor of their cause, they could be happy
with either. 1t seems, however, that they
are not altogether happy, but throw down the
gauntlet thus early by declaring they hold the
balance of power, and that no man hostile to
their views can hereafter be elected to the
presidency. Just how they mean to exercise
their influence is a secret which they refuse
to tell and it therefore behooves the am
bilious man who has an eye to future politi-
cal preferment to seek them early and find it

SEVERAL destructive fires have occurred in
various parts of the South during the past
week, all of which are declared to be of incen-
diary origin, and the incendiaries to be negroes
who fear being remanded into slavery. Pres
emily, when the officials start out to shoot a
few innocent darkies at random in alleged re-
taliation for the fires, the hunting bouts will
be heralded as 'heroic attempts of citizens to
protect their families, and to subdue desper-
ate and blood thirsty black rufians." AS of
old, the returns will show no white men
among the injured.

BEFORE the war the South counted the
colored people three ffths in the basis of rep

of Statesmen" Now the South counts
them at fve-ffths and suppresses their votes
as absolutely as they were suppressed in the
days when they were chattels and slaves.
The concession of this wrong on the part of
the North is craftsmanship" while to deny
its justice, and assert that it cannot forever
continue, is held to be the rant of partisan"

MOTHER MARY FRANCES CLARE the MN of
Kenmare, has come to this country to raise at
least $25O,OO0 among the good people of the
United States. When she has collected this
amount, she will pack it in her little handbag
and go back to England, to found an establish
ment where young girls and women are to be
taught their duty as wives and mothers, and be
fitted for the home circle. This is an excellent
scheme, and there is probably plenty of room
for such missionary work on the other side of
the water, but the average American does not
love his English brother sufficiently to sacrifice
large sums for the sake of providing him with a
good wife. If Mother Mary Glare will agree to
establish a matrimonial bureau in this country,
in connection with her school, she may then hope
to realize handsomely on her collecting tour

THE Northwestern Christian Advocate, pub
lished at Chicago, says of the election:

lished at Chicago, says of the election:
1.-THE coming change amounts almost to a
revolution. The two dominant parties repre-
as expounded by the party in power from
1860 to 1884, stands for brilliant array of
progressive political ideas. The South al
ways the backbone in the Democratic body,
stands for that trend of political ideas which
was born of human slavery, and was father to
civil war. We can understand, therefore,
that men who hate slavery. and battled to
subdue rebellion, now grind their teeth in
vexation when they anticipate the return to
power of those whose love of the republic is
justly measurable by their war to destroy it. "
