She Tetis the Election Story and
Sums it Up,
Better and Brighter Than it Has Ever
Been Told Before.

TeSpODUeuCc.J-1 1cCi HO ONOIJOyC GU
over this election, 1 hardly know
how TO express myself. Didn't the
Democrats give 'em a walk over
though? Praise the Lord! 1t was
the most perfeetest Waterloo 1 ever
hearn' tell Oh. The Sih was a fine
day to be elected President of the
United States and Governor of Ten
nessee. If I ever turn a Belva Lock
wood, and should ever be the victim
of the peoples love, want it to be
on just such day. Clear and bright
the sun shone down, and was greeted
by broad emile on the frsckled face
of the earth. All nature looked hap
py-eVen the mouth of the back
Missouri River wore a glad grin.
New York winked her eye off at
California, and chuckled Indiana
und-r the chin. New England threw
a kiss to Florida, and Louisiana
opened her arms aud embra eed Illi-
nois. Democracy just swept things
all along our lines from Baltimore,
our beautiful monumental city by
the sea, to Galveston, dipping her
dainty feet in the Mexic gulf, and
tscaling the jagged SUBMITS of the
snowy Sierras) into SaL Francisco,
busting her long hair with sands OF
gold, basking in the radiant sun
light Of the Golden Gates, and with
"nods, aud becks, and wreathed
1, b Of ~
cial coquetry to the nations that
stand upon the fur her shores of the
mighty ocean. 1t was a glad day-a
harbinger of good times to come.
Three cheers for Chairman Smiser
id all of our heroic Maury Demo
Gratis who loved our Sunny South so
well as - give their time and talents
battling for her rights! How bravely
they fought, shoulder to shoulder,
until they charged the ramparts OF
the enemy and bearded the lion in
his den. All honor to every one who
voted the straight Democratic ticket.
Who can blame Editor Lander (the
Jupi er TOnans of our State weekly
= =
Int ghts the thunder bolts of Jove,
and plucking from Jove's royal bird
quill with which he sent, semi
weekly, thrilling messages of cour-
age and good cheer to Democrats,
and warming to those who were
"weak in the knees") fer growing and
growing aud keeping on growing?
We are proud of him. He has fought
with true courage and herOism all
through the battle. If We had such
true Democratic editors all through
the South, we ueed never fear anOUh-
er defeat. The HERALD can felici-
tou-ly be called the turbine wheel OF
our county Democracy, spinning
round the faster and working the
harder the deeper it was under the
waves, and the m IRE the pillows and
waterspouts went Over its head. 1t
stood alone in the beginning of this
ba. tie, but came oft shouting at the
head of a mighty, victorious army on
November Sth. We Dem1crata-if
we did sweep the Third partyites and
Republicans from the face OF the
earth-oan'C help growing and laugh
ing over such q victory. The few of
the defeatt d, surviving the shock,
! look mighty "down in the mouth"
and SAY nOthilg," especially since
the telegram came from Columbia
that one of their leaders (Mr. Billie
Owl Witherspoon) had gore to bed
MIGHTY SICK over the result of
Tuesdays work.
Thanksgiving comes close upon the
heels of the election. | expect to
give thanks that day for life, health
aud streng n; that, once more, we
will have a Democratic National and
State administration that enough
hog and hOminy has been rai:ed to
keep the dear people from going to
bed hungry, (unle-s, De-chance, 1t
go into the hands of speculators)

ton OF little coal and wood TO Keep
us from freezing; that ME days OF

and the United States proved its de-
sire for the denomination of CleVe-
land for the Presidency; that the
Democratic majority in the North
has been increased to Omething com
Portable, and this bloody shirt is worn
threadhare and Will need be sent to
the laundry before the next cam
paign. There are many other thing
for which l am thankful, but there is
