RESIDENT.

The solid south joins with the Brit
ish in rejoicing over the great demo-
cratic victory. The south has cheap
labor and so has Great Britain, but
the Southern people, however, give
different reasons for rejoicing and
some of the leading papers do not hes
itate to state these reasons. The Dur
ham IN. CO. Daily Globe has this to
say: Cleveland. the brave Buffalo
boy, who slapped the dirty pension
beggars in the face, Is to steer the ship
of State-he is to see to it that the
South which loves him and has honor
ed him has decent recognition. What
the South wapts-and we will tell the
truth Just now-is to have the scoun
drels who have been pillaging the
country and footing the National treas
ury, choked off the public teat for Il
while. and the people down here want
pay tor what the North burned and
stole during the conflict which was call
I'd civil war. 1t will take a few mill
ions to pay the honest claims, but they
should be paid, and they will be paid.
now that the party of Calhoun, the
party of the brave Jeff Davis, and the
party of honest government, sits in
the saddle.

A great change has come over the
spirit of the Democrats. One hears
no more about the immediate repeal
of the Mckinley tariff and the begin
ming of an almost free trade era, which
every Democrat was advocating a few
days ago. The same fellows are talk
ing about moderation" a gradual
change" and preservation of our bus
mess interests. Protection is no
longer unconstitutional in the eyes of
the Democrats, who are now promis-
ing that instead of the repeal of the
Mckinley law, at the extra session
which it seems generally to be agreed
among them Is to be held In the fall of
next year. IL not before, they will
merely lower some of the duties that
are considered by the conservative
people, even in the Republican party,
entirely too high, and extend the free
list little in the line of raw material
used by American manufacturers. In
short, il the Democrats who are doing
rhe talking really represent those who
are going to do the bossing when the
new Congress gets into power, the
Democratic party through its newly
elected Congress and President will
endorse the principle of protection to
American industries, which it so vigor-
ously abused and protested against in
its National platform and through its
newspapers and stump speakers by en-
acting a protective tariff law, differ
ing no whit or title from the McKin-
ley law in principle, but merely as to
the extent to which the protective fea-
ture of our tariff shall be carried. OF
course there may be no sincerity In
this talk-there never was much In
anything that emanated from the Dem.
ocratic party which may be INDUCED
in now by order of the bosses Cor the
purpose of allaying panicky feeling
which 30 closely followed the Demo
cratic victory. Time will show wbeth-
er the Democrats were really fighting
for the power to make radical changes
IN our financial policy. or merely for
! the offices. -AlpeDd Pioneer
