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. FOR RENT.

Apg^a* 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.” ItOSCOE < (INKLING RETAINED. To DifoS Iho claim, or ClnilmS to tho Vet, nt Hew York. Nr.w York, Nov. It).—Roscoe Conkling has been retained by tbe demiicralic national committee to . act in any proceeding that may arise in ielation to tbe pending canvass. Conkling is to night in A.\D DEALERS Ifli A COMPLETE LMiE OF PURE DRUGS IjliSSiSKiSSS to («• a fair want. 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 tablishing settlements lor a deair- able class of emigrants, who, with ample means, are seeking a more genial climate in which to make permanent homes. A. VOICE I HAVE HOLD OUT MY STOCK OF LIQUORS AND SHALL DEVOTE MY TIME AND ENERGIES PRINCIPALLY TO THE J. A. Sc I. .1 P=*=3 e.o fsd SSfirtfl Amerioua, G*. 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. Tb# Drmnrralt’ Turn Now- Now York Journal.(Ind.). Republicans must take their de rest in good part. They have cn joyed the loavea and fish for twen tv-four years. During all that pe rlod the Democrats have been out in tbe cold. It is their turn now. Let t.iem make tbe belt of it. The Republican* ought to have certain ly save something for a rainy day. Old Aunt Taoby Hill, colored, wkoae age was said to be 120, died at her home on tbe premises of her former mistress, Mrs. Carrie Hill, on Sunday morning last. She was tbe mother of Aunt Harriet Hill, who still lives with the widow and children of her former master, llie late James U. llill, ami is now herself an old woman.—Albany Newa. The fact that Cleveland received many more votes in Republican wards in New York than Hancock and less in Democratic wards is cited as prool that be was sacrificed in many instances in the interest of tba mnncipal candidates.
