A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.

Grover Cleveland. the victorious rep
reseneatiye ofsthe starlight. Democra
cy, viii take his proper place in tn
White House at Washington a
| President of these United States TO
the second time, and the secons
time only that the party and people
have been so Represented since til,
the days of James Buchanan, jus
previous to. the late unpleasantness
that cost so many valuable lives and
tho squandering of so much treasure.
Since Bnchanan's Presidency the
changes that have taken place under
the auspices of the government have
been numerous, startling and rapid
part;.king much of the military, s-for.
ward march" features, which was
left as a;sort of national legacy OF
the late war, and the faaaticlsin thai
followed so fatally Immediately after
| it.
The people at the ballot boxes in
1880 made their first struggle to re-
lieye themselves of the military incu-
bus that weighted them down, and
were really successful, but were Jug
gled out of tbs Presidency by the
by z combination. In 1884 they
were more successful, and Democra-
cy held the reins of government for
four years only. Shackled by the
military remains of reconstruction,
and helpless to enforce to a sufficient
extent the healthful principles that
were essential to promote the public
welfare, so their brief term was fol-
lowed by four years more Republican
bondage with its oppressive and
burdensome tactics, which four years
will expire on the 4th day of March
next.
The progress towards true Dem
ocratic freedom out of the civil war
engulfment has been slow, but very
steady and unerrirgly sure. 1t has
taken thirty-one years, or whole
generation, for the country to re-.
cover its political equilibrium; and
that it has done so was fully and
conclusiyely shown on Tuesday,
November the 9th, in the selection
of Cleveland and Stevenson over
Harrison, the present incumbent in
the White House and Wnitelaw
Reid, the journalistic represent
tative of their party in this coun-
try; and the selection was made.
by such an overwhelming vote so that
no doubt can linger in the mind Of
any American citizen; but that at !
last, after mauy years, the war and
aliits attendant evils are completely
wiped out; that the seal of condem-
nation has been determinefiy fixed
by the people on every thing that /
tends towards military dominance
and Capitalization in the government |
Of these United States.
..Sound te1oud timbrell,
Ger land and Ger sea,
The Lord he is God.
Aid our country Is free"
Never, we believe in the history of |
the country, has a President taken
MS seat at Washington under such
favorable auspices as will be the case
With Grover Cleveland next March.
Peace and prosperity at home and /
abroad, the Senate and House in ac-
cord with the principles, views and
ceilings OF the chief magistrate what
opposition may happen to exist will .
De 50 feeble and dislnlegrated be-
'ause Of the recent pronounced ver
llct, that 1t will not in any way en-
'arrass the Democracy in the con-
rol and intelligent management of
he government.
These things considered, We can
lot bat believe that never before
las the country had such promising
Capitalization is deal and
uried. American freedom will be
established on its old aud we'll
ried basis. The partial and OPP
ressive features Of the Mckinney
ariff viii be stricken out. Strict
economy and honesty in the exlend
lure OF the public monies for the
hole people, while the sover
ignty of the several States compos-
,g the Union will be rigidly re-
pectel.
No more sectionalism, no more
