“The country is ours,” exclaims (le
mocracy. “And through you wc claim
it,” responds the people.
This seems to he a year of record
breaking surprises. The Democratic
ground swell heads the list so far.
B Kin nt,i< a ns are spending t heir time
to explain what caused it. The peo¬
ple is the best authority on this line.
Wasn’t it predicted that cotton
would go down to live cents a pound
if Democracy was successful? But
see!
In business circles the outlook is
OIJC hundred percent, brighter than it
was two weeks ago. Great is vietori
oub democracy.
IIahkison himself declares that the
force hill did it. We arc surp iscd that
he. shoulg so readily acknowledge a
mistake of his own.
Tin: rascals must surely go after
next March. They have from now un
til then to make the best of their op¬
portunities—and they’ll do it.
Four years, with probably many
more, of di moeratic rule will show the
erstwhile Third party the source from
which real relief can be expected.
Now c< mes the making up of the
now cabinet and the filling of the thou
sands of civil service offices. What a
task the new administration has before
it.
Turin', is a growing sentiment
against so many elections, We arc
with it. Once each ten years is often
enough for the country to i>e torn up
with them.
The Legislature realizes that almost
hall its allotted time has gone by with
only a fair beginning of the work before
it done. The imp 'fiance of hustling
dawns upon it.
Stimutly upon principles was the
last campaign fought, and the carrying
out of those principles will retain the
victorious party in power for many
years to come.
Next Tuesday should be such a
Thanksgiving day us the South has not
seen since the good old days of long ago.
Politically speaking it has something to
he thankful for.
FROM Maine to California torches
have been burning for the past ten days
in commemoration of the deliverance
of the people from the choking grasps
of monopolies and trusts.
Now give Georgia better collection
laws with a repeal of her exemption
laws and will have such a season of
prosperity under Democratic rule as
the State has never before seen.
The Republicans stick to it that the
force bill did it. Even after defeat the
g. o. p. continues its efforts to make
the robber tarilT a thiug of minor im
portance. But the masses know better.
Tit at proposed new basis of repre¬
sentation, of which mention was made
in these columns last week, has raised
a considerable smoke over the State.
The rural districts will tight it to the
bitter end.
Had you thought that Cleveland was
elected iu the North aud West as well
as iu the South. In those sections he
gels a majority of fifteen electoral votes
over all his opponents. That wipes
out sectional lines.

In his retirement to the shades of
private life Tom Watson will have
plenty ot time for reflection and we
hope he will see the error of his ways
and repent. He can be worth lots to
his country if he will.
Tin prospect of the tariff being re
moved from English goods causes
English cotton buyers to pay more for
cotton. That's why the staple has
been going up since the result of last
week’a election became known.
IT WILL STAND.
We predict that the Democratic par¬
ty will hold the reins of the govern¬
ment. of which it obtained control
last week, for many years to come.
'The situation now is entirely different
from what it was when Cleveland was
placed in the executive seat in 1884.
Then the campaign was not conduct¬
ed near so much upon principles as
was the last. It was more of a per¬
sonal campaign, and, luckily for the
victorious candidate, his opponent was
not by any means a personal favorite
with his party. This did more than
anything else to defeat him.
Besides when that campaign was
fought the great tariff issue had not
been brought prominently before the
people. Cleveland himself did this in
a message to Congress while he was
in office, and while it defeated him in
his next race it put the people to think¬
ing, and the result is shown in the
ground swell for democracy last week.
It not only re-elected Cleveland at last
but placed the entire control of the
governwent in the hands of his party.
The fact that the campaign was con¬
ducted entirely upon issues commits
the party unequiyocally to them. So
strongly is the party pledged to the
principles enunciated iu its platform
that it cannot possibly shirk the legis¬
lation necessary to carry them out. In
fact an extra session of Congress is
already spoken of that no time may be
lost by the party in fulfilling its pledges
to the people. This is evidence that
the party intends to keep its pledges
and that it is anxious for the people to
begin to reap the benefits to come of
the measures they will enact.
This means that the masses will soon
see which of the great parties is the
champion of their rights and welfare.
Before another election rolls around
the people of every section of the
country will have become thoroughly
convinced that their prosperity de¬
pends upon keeping in power the party
which has begun an era of renewed
prosperity and which will continue to
watch their interests and not altogether
those of a favored few.
This will cause a greater ground
swell in 18SM5 than that of last week for
the party of the people. All dissatis¬
faction with the government, such as
has given rise to a third party, will
have vanished and the masses will be
united in their efforts to keep the Dem¬
ocratic party in power, Bainbow
promises, nor bribery, nor corruption
funds, nor no other power will bo suf¬
ficient to turn them to any other party,
and the grand old party which has al¬
ready won the ascendancy purely upon
principles ndvocatcd by the people
will continue to reign over our land for
years to come, or at least so long as|it
keeps its pledges to the people.
THE GOOD OK IT.
“Its an ill wind that blows no good”
holds just as good in politics as else¬
where. Especially is it applicable in
the campaign through which we have
just passed.
Everybody deemed it a calamity that
there should be any division, or at¬
tempted division, in the ranks of the
Democratic party just at the time
when it seemed to be more likely
to gain control of the government than
it had in years. At least no possible
good could be seen in such a division;
but that good has come of it no thinking
man will deny.
In the first place it brought to the
fronts the very best men of the Demo¬
cratic party who had, for good reasons
been remaining rather iu the back
ground. While campaigns were con¬
ducted, as they have been mostly upon
personal issues, such men hesitated
about engaging actively in them.
When they did it was with a compro¬
mise of their higher senses of proprie¬
ty, because they could not stoop to use
the campaign thunder then mostly used
and they were therefore generally de¬
feated. We have only to refer to a for¬
mer race made by Maj. Black, of the
Tenth district, to exemplify them.
But when issues and principles be¬
came the battle cry of the campaign
our best men could afford to go into
it. With personalisms out of po¬
litical contests they could, without com
sr-i.
them to take the lead in the I
fray as the best element of the |
people demanded. The ablest and pur
est men were sought out and brought
to who the offered front by them the voters their of the land and j j
support
suffrage This, of course brought
about a clean campaign and has placed
in office the ablest, the purest and the
mos f trustworthy set of officers, espe- j
cially in naUonal offices, the country
““jf -' re wc not aue ^ me Th mini partx
movement thanks for this state of af
fair f In bringing them about has it j
country. wind that has brought good to the j
In the second place it has brought
prominently before the people the!
great principles underlying our gov
eminent. Well has it been said that i
this was a campaign of education.
The abrogation of that same personal¬
ism that we refer to above gave the
public fyvakers full freedom to discuss
issues,. Measures and not men have
been studied and thought over by the
people; and solely upon measures have
men been elected to oflice. \\ e can
therefore feel more confident that such
legislation as the issues upon which
the campaign has been conducted will
follow. The men we have elected are
unequivocally committed to such leg¬
islation, knowing that the principles
they represent and not they were voted
for by their costituents. They are
therefore more fully impressed with
the truth that they are but represent¬
atives or servants of the people and
must obey their demands.
This has not been so palpably so in
the past. When it was the personal
popularity of candidates that gave
them strength, officers were not apt
to feel so thoroughly impressed with
the importance of knowing the de¬
mands of the people and carrying
them out. When their election to of¬
fice is but the expression of these de¬
mands they are obliged to know and re¬
spect them.
The Third paily movement is, in a
great measure, responsible also for
this changed order of things. We are
therefore under double obligations to
it. If uo other good has come of it
than these two named it has not lived
and died in vain. We believe, though,
that iu bringing about these changes
it has served its full purpose for good,
and there is no further use for it. Its
followers will reap as much of the ben¬
efits as will any other people. We
hope they will accept them in good
faith, and conclude with us, that they
have done all the good they can.
Watson says he will contest Black’s
election in the Tenth. We would ad¬
vise him to remember the result that
followed the appointment of Federal
supervisors. A contest might work
backwards as badly as did that move.
