The Great Result.

that the Democratic snd Independent press
recognize, and, recognizing. rejoice that
the most important result Of the election Of
Mr. CLEVELAND IL the death Of sectional
ism. with che exception OF few oil the
BLAINE organs. fra'ernit, is the refrain Of
all the leading Journals in the land. The
Springfield Republican, commenting on the
tone OF the southern press In respect OF the
victory. says "Tbc significance OF the re-
suit OF the election Is pretty clearly per-
ceiyed In the sout. and IT Is not overrated
al ALL" and adds:
.sThere will without doubt be bitter re.
fections by The stalwart Republicans on
the reioiciugs Of the South, we shall hear
about "the rebel yelp again. and other I'M
profitable and vicious talk tending 70 Keep
alive the feeling OF separation aud hatred.
But tins will not be for long. The election
OF Cleveland will prove unifving inhu-
ence beyond anything else that could nap
pen. The southern men have right 10
rejoice In a result that restores them 10 an
equal place In the natiop.'
The Boston Herald dwelIs at length upon
the same idea. and among other things
saws:

the voters on the taIiti, OF foreign policy,
or any other national question, under

the remnant OF scclioualism in our politics.
And this is a contamination most deVoutiy
10 be wished.
The utterances Of the Republican and the
Herald yiudicate the position the DtSpdtch
has maintained all during the canvass. that
the solid South was the hope OF the nation.

may seem, by remaining solid the
south has broken down geographical
lines, and with the AID OF the true men
of the North made the restoration OF
the Union fact. All that the South has
ever claimed as regards its loyalty, its de-
sire for peace. its acceptance OF the result
OF the war. its wish to bury old issues. and
its intention Of cOnsecrating itself to The
cause OF reviviiying the republic OF the

Tho Solid SOuth.

MuRsT HALSTEAD has abandoned his
New York bantling and returned to his
Cincinnati home and paper. However, he
did not leave bis malice in New York. He
still sees visions Of solid South. In the
last issue OF his paper he says:
"Tbe doom OF the solid South is written
in the recent election in Western and Old
Virginia. The fact that cOIored men actu-
ally had the right of suffrage in those States
in a presi dental election. is one of grea.
moment
What nonsense. The above paragraph
indicates unutterable ignorance on the part
Of the man who penned II. When was II
that colored men did not "actually have
the right OF suffrage in Virginia The
foolishness of the paragraph consists in the
assumption that Virginia and West Viz
GINA are not as strongly Democratic
as they lave heretofore been. This
is wide OF the truth. MALONE car

for his failure to do what he had promised
to do when they entrusted him with the
money he had so long begged for unsuc-

But CLEyELAND's election will dissolve
the solid South, in all probability. Lift The
pressure from without, and the South mus
divide. II is not TO be expected that sh'
can stand solid in a restored Union, ant
against kindness. Let her negroes alone
and let her voters divide upon economical
questions, and the solidity OF the South vii

Perhaps some able Ohio Democrat will
rise no and tell us what advantage the party
obtained from The nasty decision OF the SUI
preme Court on the scott law Cincinnati
COmmercial- Gazette.
No advantage whatever; but what has
this 10 do with the matter! The decision
was maniiestly correct. Your Democratic
n,ighber says that almost all the good law
yers In Cincinnati say so. We suppose that
every Justice on the bench of the Supreme
Court of the United States would pro-
no,,uce the decision righteous one.
Therefore, we would like for our Gin
ciunati contemporary 10 explain TO us how
II can possibly hold the contrary opinion.
II must have some reasons for what II says.
The Constitution of Ohio forbids the
licensing Of liquor saloons. What was the
object of that prohibition? The object
was TO prevent the sale OF liquors at
all. IL was wrongfuIly assumed that II
the sale Of intoxicating liquors was not
licensed they would not be sold.
Under those circumstances, The Legisla-
ture Of Ohio passed law which was to all
iatents and purposes license law. This
law allowed nobody TO sell liquors who
had not paid a tax. IL allowed those who
had paid the required tax TO sell. What
was this but license under another name,
or in disguise! Nothing else. viii our
contemporary explain away the point we
have made.
