THE TRIEMPH OF HONESTY'
Tho battle is over. Grover Cleveland
id elected, honesty has triumphed and
the Union is at last restored.
The solid south joins in the universal
rejoicing. The patriot south enters our
Fathers’ House still bearing in his right
hand gentle peace to silence envious
tongues, and the psalm of his rejoicing
is: “ Glory to God in the highest! Peace
on earth, good will to men.”
Years ago glorious old Ben Hill d< -
dared in the capitol: “This is our Fathers’
House, and we have come to stay.” The
south is happy to-day in the knowledge
that, for the first time in twenty-four
veal's, she is on speaking terms with her
old daddy.
At our local celebration last Saturday
night, a young orator repeated these
grand old lines, beginning: “Truth
crashed to earth shall rise again.”
Wo offer an amendment: Every spark
flashing from the ban-fires that illumine
the night from the fir groves of Maine
to the lagoons cf Louisiana; every smoke
cloud that ascends to Heaven as the
incense of gratitudo rises from our
thankful hearts; every shout of joy over
our country’s redemption, proclaims that:
“Truth crushed te earth LIAS kiz ain t ,
The eternal years of God are ours,
But Jim Blulue wounded, writhes in vain,
And dies amid his worshippers.”^
Make way for us in our Fathers’ House,
O, ye corruption fattened pimps, for we
we coming in to stay—we and our chil
dren, and our children’s children, and
our negroes’ grand children. Get out
the big pot, and the little pot, and the
wash pot, and the ham boiler. O, all
you treasury rats who have been nibbling
away our substance for twenty-four years,
SCAT!!
And good bye to you, Mr. Blaine.
The solid south bids you ft long farewell.
Yon could not keep us out of the old
man’s house any longer. We are elected
this time, Mr. Blaire; we are, certain.
We are elected to save this graud old
• i '
unioa; elected to keep the laws pure;
elected te do even justice to all; elected to
lift the burden of taxation from a groan
ing people; olected to make this grand
old land blossom like a rose in the pros
perity of ft happy, contented and re-unit
ed people; elected above all to teach the
lesson of individual integrity to the sons
and daughters who must fill our places
and perpetuate good government when
we have passed away.
And here we leave you, Mr. Blaine.
In such a cause, and in such a work, you
chui have no part. On the 4th day of
March next, rh you stand in the window
mi your mansion in Washington, you will
hear our voice again. You will seethe
solid south rejoicing in her deliverance,
her beauty clothed in tho robes of ft re
stored citizenship, with not a memory
lest, with not a glory dimmed, enter
again our Fathers’ House to be exiled no
moro’forever.
And to you, Mr. Blftine, standing
there, forever dishonored and disgraced,
will oorno the voice of the people, like
that judgement Almighty God passed of
old upon a recreant king:
“Woo unto him that buildeth his
house by unrighteousness, and liis chain- |
her* by wrong. That saith, I will build
ma u wide house and large chambers,
and cutteth himself out windows, and it
is ceiled with cedar, and painted with
Vermillion.
But his ©yds and his heart are not but
for covetousness, and for to shed inno
cent blood, mid for oppression, and for
rioleu.ee to do it.
Therefore, saith the Lord: He shall be
buried with the burial of an as* drawn
and c*rt fartb beyoud the Jeni-
I Here lies the g. 0.j3,
The people laid it out;
A' a iftore f orcj We *jj ec r,
\Vfth pap and plunder stout.
Its course at Ja-l was ruu,
it kicked against its doom.
But Tuesday’s setting sun
Shone on its silent tomb.
“Tlu- b*ule’s won, the light is over ;
We’ve gained the day with gallant Grov.i,
Hail to the chief whom all respect,
Our honest president elect.”
To the g. o. p.— £*r' r '
Whore is Billy Muhone ?
How do you like our Eagle ?
Burner has it that Emory Speer has
resigned.
The man who voted for Blaine now
looks grum.
Now let Blaine send a congratulatory
telegram to president-elect Cleveland.
The day has at last arrived when this
country can be considered certainly
united.
Tho large, overgrown and lubberly re
publican party should be spanked like a
naughty baby that it is.
-
Old Tom Hendricks is worthy of being
called the most valuable man ad truest
patriot on the continent.
Losing their money and the means of
making it is enough to render our repub
lican office holders low-spirited.
The Grand Old Party lias received its
walking papers. There is no need of
kicking. We say firmly, but kindly,—
GIT !

When old gray-haired men rush out
on the streets, snatch the tin horns from
the small boys, and toot away for dear
life, the country is thoroughly aroused.

The official count will give Cleveland
and Hendricks 210 electoral votes, leav

New York, November 11. —To the

CLEVELAND'S CABINET,
From now until the 4th of next March
there will be much speculation as to who
will be selected by our democratic presi
dent as his cabinet ministers, and as
most of the newspapers of the country
will come forward with their quota of
honorable names suitable for the coun
selors of tho nation, it will not appear
presumptuous in us if wo venture to sug
gest the names cf four mon of pre-emi
nent ability, who would do honor to any
administration, and add glory to the pro
gress of a groat country.
For the high office of secretary of
state, no man would more ably fill it and
give more character to American diplo
macy than tho pure ond conservative
Delaware statesman, Thos. F. Bayard.
For the office of secretary of the treas
ury, where among all the able men of
tho democratic party can be found a bet
ter equipped financier than tho distin
guished Georgian and United States sen
ator, Joseph E. Brown? For the interi
or port-folio, who understands moro
thoroughly the great questions that come
before that department, and who more
more richly deserves the place than Ex-
Governor Hubbard, of Texas? He has
fought nobly in tho northwest for the
success of the democratic party and de
serves consideration at its hands.
As the legul adviser of the administra
tion wo prefer that great thinker and
profound constitutional lawyer, Hon,
Richard T. Merrick. He has always
been in tho fore-front of battle, when
called upon to sustain the grand princi
ples of tho democratic party. He would
not discredit the high office of attorney -
general.
KieetUm Notice.
The bill just introduced in the legisla
ture, by Mr. Fite, submitting the question
of the prohibition of the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors in Bartow county to a vote of
the people, provides for the election to
take place on the first Wednesday in De

Our prohibitionists should take notice
of this, and prepare at once for the light.

Extiteiueut: 1 !
Friday afternoon last the passenger
train from Atlanta waked our little city
by dashing into our midst screaming as if
for dear life, and screeching out the joy
ous news that Cleveland had been elected
president of the United States. From
every store, from every street corner, alley
and office,the people came rushing toward
the depot. Old men who had hardly
smiled for years, young men who are
usually staid and dignified, middle-aged
men who were terribly in earnest, little
boys who are always willing to make a
noise—all, with countenances radiant,
arms, hats, handkerchiefs and flags
waving, and emitting from wide-stretched
mouths shouts piled upon and mingled
with screams, poured from every point of
the compass toward the panting train.
Exhilerating and contagious gladness was
painted on every face, and the noise and
excitement rapidly and continuously
waxed deeper and wider and stroiiger.
Never was such a scene witnessed in
Cartersville. As the darkness of night
began to come upon us, the glare of bon
fires flashed up on all side3, sky-rockets
w ere shot heavenward, guns, pistols, can
non-crackers, tin pans, and everything
else from which noise could be extracted,
were brought into requisition. Quickly a
long line of men and boys bearing torches
were gathered together. The procession
marched about for some thirty or forty
minutes.itthen came to a halt at the corner
of the St. James hotel, from the front porch
of which jubilant speakers were to
liarange a happy crowd. It was an easy
matter to orate to such an assembly, for
every time a speaker pronouced a sen
tence containing a faint allusion to the
democratic victory, every human being
that heard it, and a great many that did
not hear it, yelled as loud as he could.
It was nearly midnight before llie town
grew still.
Early Saturday morning some of our
leading business men, after talking the
matter over, determined to “paint the town
red” that night. At three p. m. a mass
meeting was held at the opera house,
arrangements were made and committees
appointed. As night grew near people
from the country began to swarm all over
town, in every store, at the depot, and on
every street corner. About seven p. m.
a procession of two hundred horsemen,
bearing torches, tin horns, bells, flags,
etc., and. followed by three or four hun
dred men and boys on foot, began to
parade the streets. A large quantity ef
fire-works had been ordered from Atlanta,
and with this the town was kept full of
red and noise all the time.
At nine o’clock the speaking commenc
ed. Col. P. L. Mynatt, of Atlanta, Dr.
Felton, Col. T. W. Milner, A. W. Fite,
Esq., and Bennett J. Conyers, made
speeches. Everybody was satisfied with
the speaking, evincing his satisfaction
by loud, long, vociferous and hearty
applause. The piazzas of the St, James
hotel were thronged with ladies, who
were all perfectly and beautifully’happy.
Nearly every business and dwelliug house
in the city was splendidly illuminated.
The whole town, and the good old
county of Bartow, are gloriously happy.
Scheuer Bros, dress goods, particularly
in the finer grades, are simply lovely. No
such variety ever brought to Cartersville
before,
