The New York Divine breaches OF

New YORK, Nov, 22.~Before the
regular sermon today the Rev. Thorn
as Dixon, Jr., reviewed the results OF
the Presidential election. Among 9th
er things, he said; "The man who
thinks Cleveland's election is an ..arti-
san triumph is easily consoled. He
was nominated without the aid OF his
party in New York. He was elected
without the aid of his party in New
York. He has transferred the Nation.

York city to the broad fields OF the ma

we may all devoutly thank God. Tam
many has triumphcd again in the city,
but the role Of Tammany in the nation
will from this day grow beautifully
less. New York is no longer the piv-
otal. State Of the Union, and on this
the Union is to be congratulated 1t

SOUTH CAROLINA MAY BE DRY.
The PrOhibitiOniSts Carried tho
State on a Popular Vote.

CHARLESTON. S. c., Nov. 24.-If the
South Carolina Legislature at the
session which begins tomorrow obeys
the will of the people, clearly express
ed at the polls at the recent election,
this will be prohibition State in the
near future.
A prohibitory measure was before
the last Legislature and passed one
branch. 1t failed in the other by only
one vote and it is openly said that
money was used to defeat it.
More han majority OF the coun-
ties in the State are now no license
counties, a privilege that they may
enjoy under the existing Local Option
law. The pIohibitionists have no dif'
ficulty in securing promises from
candidates for the Legislature, but
when the member gets to Columbia
he is likely to ignore these. His ex-
Cuse has been that the sentiment Of
his constituents was not pronounced
in favor of prohibition. This year the
prohibitionists obtained the right to
place at every polling place box i
which ballots for or against prohibl
ton we're to be placed, Prohibition
won by 10000 votes, and with instruc-
tions OF that sort legislators will find
it hard work to avoid passing pro-
hibitory lrw of some sort.
Unfortunately for the prohibition
lists they have thus far been unable to
agree upon a measure. There Is con.
siderable sentiment in favor OF a high
license law in Charleston.

ASKING HIGHER WAGES.
All Classes Of Skilled Labor on the
Baltimore L. Ohio Interested.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 24.-That there is
q concerted movement on foot among
the employees of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company, looking toward
higher wages for all classes OF skilled
labor, becomes more apparent each
day.
The telegraph operators were partly
successful in their demands. Before
they had fairly settled their differ.
ences with the company, the Order OF
Railroad Conductors were seeking an
audience with General Manager Odell,
with request for new wage scale.
Then came theBrotherhood ofTrain-
men with the request for increased
wages for brakemen, baggagemasters
and yardmen. They ask for rates sim.
liar to those paid west of the Ohio
river. An equalized scale means au
average advance of 80 per cent, and
the Trainmen's Committee say they
will come very near getting it before
the conference adjourns An increase
would effect 4 900 trainmen.

The Fall OF Buchanan.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 24.-The Governor
OF Tennessee, John P. Buchanan, is
probably the most detected looking
man who ever set foot in the State
Capitol. Governor Buchanan shows
very plainly in his countenance how
heavily his disappointment and de-
feat falls upon him, and instead Of
the joval, light hearted farmer he was,
he seems to avoid many of his former
friends.
The Times reporter received a
chilling report from Gov. Buchanan.
When lie asked His Excellency to
what he attributed his defeat, the
broken.hearted Executive smiled 8
sickly smile and hippantly remarked
"Why, a lack of votes OF course"
And with this Gov. Buchanan

NEW YORK, November 23.-Presl'
dent elect Cleveland left town today
in search of much needed rest. Since
the election had been fairly overrun
with callers and the volume OF his cor
lespoudence has been something enor
nous. A reporter of the Southern
Associated Ptess called on Mr.. Cleve-
Iand this morning. The appearance
OF the President elect indicated some
what of fatigue, consevuent upon his
labors aad confinement TO which ne
has been subjected. In speaking oil
the absolute necessity for relief from
The annoyances and exactions which
are his daily lot at home, he said
"I have been amazed and exceed
ingly gratified by the thousands OF
letters OF congratulation which have
received since the election, from
American people 10 every station III
life and from every quarter OF the
land. 1t has been, however, utterly
impossible for me to read every letter
OF that description which | have re-
oeivsd, with other interruptions which
have thus far seemed unavoidable. l
fully appreciate, however, the good
will and friendliness which these let
ters indicate and shall not omit, as
time allows, to read every one OF
them. These good friends, OF coure,
will not expect any replies to their
communications, for that would be ut
terly out of the question, and the
most that l can do is 70 say through
the press that am not unmlndtul OF
their kindness. Many of the callers
whom have been obliged to receive
would not, | think, hsve encroached
upon my time had they given the
matter moments reflection Those
who called upon me 10 talk abont OH
ces. it seems TO me, have been little
inconsiderate and certainly unneces'
sarily premature, desire to give as
much publicity as possible to the state
ment that | do not propose to consider
applications for office prior to my IN
auguration, and | shall avoid all in'
terview on that subject. Those who
under any prete1t gain an opportu nj
ty 10 present their applications orally
and those who burden me at this time
with written applications cannot pos
sibly do anything which would so in
terfere with their success. Written
applications will be so little regarded
that doubt if they ever see the hlei
in Washington, for. there is no reason
or decency in my being overwhelmed
with such matters at this time"
Upon being asked how long he ex
pected so be away on his vacation Mr.
Cleveland replied; "As to that an
not certain. 1t will depend upon va
rious conditions. expect, however
TO be absent about two weeks, ant
when return, unless am somewha
relieved from the unnecessary d
mands al on my time to which | hay
