| THE GREAT DEMO.
. CRATIC VICTORY.

+ in the choice of Woodrow Viii
son by decisive majority of the
electoral college, he having Sc
cured over 400 electors out of 531
and possibly even a greater num-
! Der when all of the states in the
doubtful column shall have been
heard from. The election of
| Wilson to the presidency means
a total reversal of the policy that
has controlled tile national gov
ernment for sixty years past.
| While it is true that the Demo
cratic Party secured control of
the presidency during the two
administrations of Grover Cleve-
land, yet though, both branches
Eof Congress were democratic, the
party failed to carry out the
pledges it had made to the peo-
| pie because of the faithlessness
of three democrats in the Senate
who voted with the republicans
| to maintain the republican tariff
policy. While it is not yet
definitely settled that the democ-
racy will have an actual numer-
ical majority in the Senate, yet
there seems to be no doubt but
that the pledges which the demo-
Gratis made in the interest OF the
people will now be enacted into
law, and that the national gov
ernment will be the government
of and for the people instead OF
a government for the benefit OF
the wealthy classes as has been
the case for two generations
past.
The change in the national
administration means the ex-
tinction too of the last remnants
of sectional spirit through
out the North. The national
government will in fact and in
spirit be the government of the
whole people. The citizens Of
/ the southern states have been
practically denied any share IN
/ the administration of the Feder-
al government, and the door OF
/ political preferment has been
closed to the young men OF the
South, while the vast number OF
federal appointments in foreign
countries of a diplomatic and
consular character have been
given exclusively to residents OF
tie northern states. President
Wilson, we are happy to know,
will no doubt take into his con-
fidence and invite to his council
board men of capacity from the
South as well as the North, and
this gratifying change will in
spire our southern people with a
! renewed sentiment OF attach
ment to the national government.
Again: The election of Wood
row Wilson by the Democratic
Party to the presidency means
more than anything else that the
national government will be
i divorced from the great none
tary interest that have domi-
mated it for so long a period, and
will be administered strictly
within the limits of the constitu-
ton and for the benefit of the
whole people. We will have lib
y
erty but liberty regulated by
law. Above all things else the
election means that the people
desire and will have their ma
tional government administered
by safe, sane and orderly meth

COUNCIL NET IN AD-
JlURNEIl SESSION On
THURSDAY NIGHT

The City Council met in ad-
journed session on Thursday
night, with the Mayor and all
the members present, and after
being in session until IL o'clock
adjourned to meet again Friday
night. The reports of the vari-
Gus officers filed, the principal
one being the financial report Of
Clerk Stagg, covering the fiscal
year from October, 1911 to Octo-
Der, 1912. This report shows
the City's liabilities to be Sic,
500. 90, a reduction of $4,000. CO.
from the last report.
The most important business
transacted was the framing Of a
budget for the year 1913, which
we are pleased to note, provides
$500. 90 for the liquidation Of the
Fire Company S notes, and $500. a
100 for the maintenance of the fire
department. Both items, we
think, will prove to be money
well expended.
The report of Superintendent
Jones shows the power plant to
be still a losing proposition; but
records an Improvement in spite
of the high-price of oil this
item of expense alone footing up

With the installation of the
new engine and machinery which

of affairs will be changed, and

sustaining but a revenue produ
