ham, Judge II. S. Bell and about
ten othera of our city went to
Macon to-day to attend the grand
jubilee Tuesday night. Qucastbey
will have n jolly time. I am under
obligations to Measrn. E. Prices
Sons, of Macon, for a special invi
tation, and can’t resist the tempta
tion of accepting it. I intend to
take in tbejwliolc tiling or be taken
in myself. J. A. R
The President.EIeet.
From the Buflalu Couiter.
Three years ago this day Grover
Cleveland was elected mayor of
Bolialo, and now be is the eboice
of the people of the United States
for the chief magistracy of the
republic. There is hardly a par
allel in our history to this wonder
ful rise of n public man within so
brief a period. For one who has
attained the presidency he is a com-
pantlively j oung man. He will en
ter upun the duties of that great
oillcc before be completes his forty-
eighth year, being younger than
any former president actually in
oflice after the party’s long ban
ishment from power will give him
an exceptional position and extra
ordinary opportunities.
He represents a party whicb.wbat-
cver its errors and shortcominga
may have been, have more truly
preserved the faith in tbe cardinal
principles of our government than
any political' organization with
which during its long career it has
struggled tor the control of tbe
government. There was great
danger that these principles would
entirely ignored as they have
often been violated in the actual
conduct of the government, but
Irom tbis danger tbe viotory won
in Tuesday's battle of ballots has
delivered the country. A demo
cratic administration means an
administiation adhering to tbe
leltei and spirit of the constitution
and to honest and economical man
agement of public affairs. To this
Mr. Cleveland is committed by bis
own convictions, bis express
pledges and bis publie record. His
administration, alter many years
of feud and distrust between the
different parts of tbe country, will
be the Orst truly national in its
character, as it will he entirely (ree
from sectional apirit. It will also
be free from that intense and ille-
gitimata partisanship which baa
characterized the recent republi
can administrations and tbrougb
which tho g <eLof tbe country baa
been subordinated to tbe real or
supposed interests of the party in
power. President Cleveland will
strive to strengthen bis own party
by making it a more efficient in
strument tor promoting tbe public
welfare and the cause of good
government.

A Uoraer In Carpet-Bags,
A gentleman who keepa a shoo
and trunk store in King street,
Charleston, said Saturday: Will
there be an improvement in bus)-
ness? Well, I should smile. Im
provement no name for it. We ara
just on the eve of a financial boom
that will wake up the world. I
calculate to make a small fortune
on one line of goods alone. Don’t
yon give it awav. I’ll tell you
what it Is. It’s carpet-bags and
satchels. See ’em there. I’ve got
the best job lot in the market, got
'em dirt cheap. Most of the other
dealers are short on them and can’t
get in a supply. Belore the 1st of
' March next there'll be such a de-
I maud for carpet bags tbrougb tbe
| South that an ordinary seventy-five
j cent satchel will be worth it*
j weight in gold. Who’ll buy ’em?
{ Why, dont you see that there will
[ lie a generai migration ot carpet-
j luggers and scalawags from the
' S"Uth next spring? Taft and
! lirayton and ail that tribe who
i have soft places will have to get
1 out. nnd they’ll want satchels and
ihings lo carry off their gains In.
I teil you there’s millions in it.”

Here are facta and figures, says
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, not
usually appended to election re
turns. The history of past elec
tions teaches that this vote of the
nation advances from President to
President by steps measured in
numbers by iO percent. The totsl
voteof 18G8 was 5,734,664; of 1872,
was 6,465 805; of 1876, was 8,412,-
733; of 1880, was 9 210,970. Add
10 per cent, to this last total, and
the estimato for the vote at Tues
day’s election will be 10,312.067,
an approximation borne out by
other calculations and which will
be found not far out of the result.
A ballot is a piece ofpaperavering
four Inches wide and 10J long.
One hundred and fifty ballots will
weigh about a pound. Two hun
dred and fifty ballots laid on each
other will measure about an inch.
To prepare these bits of paper at a
reasonable profit costs ninety cents
a thousand. If the ballots cast
Tuesday were placed end to end
they would reach in a continuous
line from Washington, D. C., to
El Paso in Texas, or they would
stretch from Eastport, Mo., to New
Orleans, as the crow files. If one
end ot the long lino of paper were
made fast at Cape Flattery, the
extreme western proinitory of
Washington Territory, the other
end would pass Kansas City, with
enough miles to spare to reach
Sedalia.
This has to do only with the
ballots actually voted. The num
ber of ballots printed, of course, is
tremendously larger than tbe
amount voted. In tit. Louis, for
instance, tho Democrats had 690,
000 and other parties in all 700,-
000, making for this one town u
total of 1,300,000. It is generally
admitted, however, that the vote
ot St. Louis will not, nt the outside,
make more than 50.000. Here,
then, is a surplus of 20 ballots for
each one cast. This makes the
total of ballots ollered to tbe peo
ple throughout America at this
election 200,000,000. It would
quire 85 freight cars to move this
load of papor, whoso weight is
1,716,000 pounds. The white pa
per and printing of tbe mass ha-
cost $234,000. Pasted end to end
there would be paper enough to
go entirely around the globe, leav
ing 19,000 miles to spsre for a gi
gantic double bow-knot, which
would cover the greater part of the
two Americas, or, if one preferred
lo keep tbe string in Ihe United
Stales, there would be miles
enough to wrap the streamer 86
times around tbe State of Missouri,
and still lcavo enough over to reach
from the P rst-Dispateh building to
Gov. Cleveland's private office in
the State House at Albany.
Cuicago, November 10.—The
present estimate ns to the com
plexion of the Illinois state legisla
ture is that it will be a tie on joint
ballot, the senate having a majori
ty one republican and the house a
majority of one democrat. Con
tests likely to ensue in three dis
tricts, which msy reverse this con
dition of affairs. Tbe sltustjon is
made more interesting from the
'act that the senator to succeed
General Logan is to be selected.
Cartersville has been visited by
Messrs. Haggart and Soobel, from
Toronto, Can., with a view' of es

ample means, are seeking a more
genial climate in which to make
permanent homes.

Time's whirligig hat spun out a
pretty thread of poetic justice in
tbe vote by which the Democratic
party takes its revengo for the
great fraud of 1876. It has elected
a president irom Samuel J. Tilden’s
State and elevated to tbe vice-
presidency the Indiana statesman
who was defrauded of that offine
eight years tgo. The victory, too,
is won by carryiug identically the
tame States which cast their elec
toral vales for Tilden and Hen
dricks. It was New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana,
with the Stales of the South, whicli
elected Tilden nnd Hendricks and
which now elect Cleveland and
Hendricks.

Republicans must take their de

joyed the loavea and fish for twen
tv-four years. During all that pe
rlod the Democrats have been out

Let t.iem make tbe belt of it. The

The fact that Cleveland received
many more votes in Republican
