Mow that the Independent Republicans have beaten Blaine end Tammuy, the New York Times meue to reform the parly. It says: “It b called upon now alter nearly a quarter ol a century of pow er, to resume the work of an opposition party, in which it won some ol its greatest victories ud in which it developed its greatest men. The work ia very different now, bntit is important, udit will abound in opportunities. The next four years may see many ebuges in the composition o! both parllei, but nothing is more cer tain than that the Intelligence, the con scientious devotion to principle, the gen eral parity and dbintereatedneea which were the characteristics of the RepublL ea:is in their beat days will have ample scope In the Immediate future, and wilt have their due influence upon the coarse of national affaire." Tijrinn to Ktoaimcfc ftnrtv There has Iteenderi-loped within the last few days a disposition upon the part of frte trade Democrats to side track the lion. Bam Randall. It lias eud only occurred to these gentlemen that Mr. Randall stands in nearer the throne titan do muy of the ambitious Democrats who year, su'd to clubs of insisted that the new President waa to become Morrison’s ally and Watler- Bon'a tool in a future effort to deal the industries of tha country. Th gentlemen have suddenly remembered that Mr. Clcvelaud adopted nttb ical moment, as the TbI/Bor am insisted he should, sensible views upon the tariff, and under Mr. Randall’s lead, went into Connecticut and Now Jersey with n construction of the Democratic platform satisfactory to the manufac turing people. It begins to dawn upon many people that perhaps Mr. Randall may bo allowed to stand by Mr. Cleve land’s side as the chief representative of tho Democracy. This view of tho political situation can hardly fail to be distressing to somo of onr Southern Congressmen, who throw aside Mr. Randall in the last Congress and supported Sir. Car lisle for Speaker—not that this unfor tunate error ha- not already borne bit ter fruit, for Carlisle's insult to the South in the voluntary oath he took has long since made the subject with Southern men a painful one—bat be cause they see political bankruptcy ahead of them. For twenty years the average South ern Congressman has been issuing his promises to pay to faithful henchmen on all sides. Tho number of such obli gations now out is simply appalling, and the worst of it is, they all fall due without grace on the 4th of next March. If it should so happen that Mr. Ran dall stands next the throne, while there are many who can cheerfully rely upon tils faTor anil patriotism, there are a few who will find themselves with nothing in hand to settle maturing ob ligations, Tills explains the friendly efforts now being made in Randall’s behalf. The Courier-Journal for in stance, has it: Upon the next Secretary of the Navy the im portant duty of constructing a navy will de volve. The new Secretary will have tho dis bursement ot hundreds of millions of dollars. He should be a man ot experience la naral affaire and ol In orruptlblo Integrity. Mr. It,n .all Is such h mm. He would give a guar antee at honesty, economy end Intelligence which the country would recognize universally and at once. His a] polntment would take him out ot Congress and r -move the chief ele ment or Democratic dissension, giving the ad ministration a united party in the House touching tho pdtey ot revenue reform to which it will address Itself. This is very transparent. Mr. Ran dall ns Secretary of the Navy is a de lightful picture to hold up even to Mr. Randall himself, when we consider how vitally Pennsylvania’s interests are af fected by changes in tho naval admin istration. But as Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Randall would merely be buried with honors, and ho is too active now to submit to such an operation. The Sun says: Other followers ot the Hon. John arilfiu Carlisle have likewise manifested a willing, ness te zee Mr. Randall removed from tho House ol Eeprescntatlves; and setae of them even go to the great Irngth of proposing that Cleveland should make him Secretary ot the Treasury. But suppose Mr. Randall should not like this programme. Suppose he should wish to stay In the nouse of Representatives, where he has made his place, and where he wields saoro power than any other Individual mem ber. In the cabinet, Mr. Randall would he only n head e'erk to Mr. Cleveland. In the Houso of Representatives he is a great figure on his own account Randall is undoubtedly the strong est man in the Houso for Speaker. Car lisle insulted his supporters, and 00 per cent, ot tho men who voted for tho main act ot the administration have lost their places. Carlisle’s excuse for greatness has vanished with the last effort of the freo traders. A stronger, wiser element will pr bably rule the party and the natural leaders of these is Samuel J. Randall. Howover,wheth er as Speaker ot the House or adviser of the President, Mr. Randall will be in position to settle somo old debts. I Tito clerks of nil tlie courts are ap pointed by the judges, and they are uniformly Republicans. All the United States commissioners, who are appointed by the United States circuit judges, are Republicans. • There are nino circuit judges of the United States, all of whom are Repub licans, and some of them are very pro nounced politicians. The United Slates Treasury handles over $600,000,000 a year In receipts and expenditures only, leaving out of view the dealings in national loans and othet; groat transactions. This has all been'dene by Republicans. Tho Geological Survey, the Cooet Survey, the Agricultural Bureau, the Fish Commission, the National Mui un, the government of the District of Columbia, are all directed by Republi cans. There are nine Judges ot the United States Supreme Court, one of whom only Is a Democrat Judge Bradley U the only one now eligible for retire ment with a lull pension. There ore about one hundred and twenty five thousand offices, large and small, in the gift of the administration, Over fifty-two thousand of them are post-offices, mostly below the grade of Presidential appointment, which ran;e from $1,000 salary upward. There ore 96,000 officeholders sub ject to removal, most of them post masters. In tho three branches of the classi fied service there are shout 14,000 places that can be filled by competitive examination only ander the civil'ser- vice act. There are 4,000 persons in the rail way mail service, and 4,000 in the in ternal revenue sendee outside of Wash ington. In addition to these, the Davis bill, which hoe passed the Senate and awaits action on the calendar of the House, provides for the appointment of eighteen circuit judges. It will be seen that there will be opportunity to turn a great many rascals oat, and the success of the administration must de pend upon putting honest men in. The offices will not go round, but the pick ings are very considerable and quite fat. Gentlemen interested can surrey the list, ascertain what they most desire and immediately start the petitions on active duty. The Virtue Should Be Ite Own Reward. Scarcely a week has passed since the result of tho Presidential election was learned, and yet already the fight for office between the factions that united to elect Mr. Cleveland haa begun. The New York Herald tells Mr. Cleveland that he cannot get along in his great reform movemont without the aid of the New York Independents, and that he cannot retain this element in poli tics without recognising their claims for olfico and rewarding their seal. To this the World very naively or very sarcastically replies: We should ke very sorry to believe that the Independents, who ao unselfishly supported a political opponent became they believed him te he an uprilht. fearless man, anxious to give the country honest government, would refuse him their “continued confidence and sealoui assistance," not becanso he disappointed the r expectations, hut because hodldnotglvethem •ubtnA offices. ■ It our contemporary's Idra that all who helped to elect President Cleveland are to be token Into his "counclli" ehoSld bo carried . out, what a singular mixture we should hsvel Certainly 8k John must he represented, for the largo voto he drew from the Republicans decided the result. Oneida eounty must hare a cabinet position, for If rc- tributive Justice had not reversed Qarflcld’a majority there Blelne would hove been elect ed. Dr. Bureherd cannot be offered less than tho mission to Borne. Brother Cyrus, whose Bcishssrar feast had so good su effect for Cleveland, must go to the Court of 8t. James, whore ho catt present the mins of his Andre monument to the British Museum. On the same principle t'-e esteemed Post may well elaim th* Berlin mission; Brother Jones should go to Vienua, and who will dispute he rarii-loring Herald’s clslts to Mortou’i dace In Paris" Ran for f n* patriots. The internal revenae masters army of partisans more than 4,000 atrong. There are five judge* on the Court of Olalmi, ell of wham are Repablicans. Every bureau in all the public de partment* ia headed by a Republican, chosen far political reasons. There are fifty-three United States district judges, who, with two or three exception*, ere Republicans. All the laud offices are occupied with Republicans, some of whom have sur veyed the road to wealth with official seal. There ore J4S consuls and many dep uty consalMtbrood, who are, with few exception!, Republicans. The United States marshals and their deputies have for many years been vio lent partisans, bat they are appointees of the President. There are forty ministers represent ing the United States in foreign coun tries, every one of whom is a Repub lican. There ore six judges on the bench of the Supreme Court ot the District of Columbia, who, with only one ercep- tiofi, ore Republicans. All tho places of honor or of trust within the grasp at the executive or of the courts aro bold by Republicans. All the divisions of the treasury, of the Post-office Department, of the In terior Department, of the army, ot the navy, of the State, and of the Judiciary Departments are in tha hands of Re publicans. All the collectors, surveyors, naval officers and their subordinates are Re publicans. All the postmasters in the country, with hero and there an unavoidable exception, aro Republicans. Proteotlon' tha National Polloy. Editor McClure,a most accomplished student of politics, has reviewed tho situation and has reached the conclu- sion embodied In the following para graphs, which may be read with inter est: The Democratic South Is now more for pro tection than ever before. The time has past when the South can be milted to the support of free trade. Tariff reform ft wants and de mands, av does the North, hut a large majority of the Southern Democrats tn the next Con- greaa will be squarely for the distinct recog nition of protection to American labor, In the diicrimloattons of a revenue tariff. The lasne has been vitalised In every State, and tho Democratic 8outh la rapidly drifting to the ■upportof a sound protective policy, while ;he Republican West la., becoming the let-bedof free trade. Of the forty-one Demo crats who upported Randall In defeating the only effort ever boldly made in Congress since the war to depart from the protective policy, nearly aU have bean returned to the next Congress, while a number of the aggressive free traders have been defeated In atrong Democratic districts. Frank Hurd, the ablest of them, waa defeat'd In an Ohio district where a tariff Democrat would have been elected by 4,0 0. New York city, who sup posed centre of free trade, has sent the strongest delegation of protection ists that haa come for many years. Dorshel- mer, Morrison's ablest Northern lieuten ant In the battle of last winter, ia suc ceeded by Pulltaer, an earnest protectionist, and Cox, free trader, waa not heard on the stump because the party la not In sympathy with his tariff views. The Democratic South and the Democratic States of the North an now more thoroughly committed to tho Juit protection of every prodnctl e general Indus try of the country than ever before since the daysof Jackson, and protection without mo nopoly will bo one of tho cardinal principles of the new administration. We apeak ad visedly In saying that President-elect Cleve land heartily approves of the protective plank of the Democratic platform, aud that freo trade, or even tho half- fledged free trade that would disturb and paralyse our legitimate Industries, will find favor with the now President. The national platform declared for protection; the South haa declared for protection with revenue re form, and the States of New York, New Jer sey, Conneetlout and Indiana, which gave thelrvoteeto lovcland, did It upon the dis tinct assurance from Democrats leadars that Democratic administration could havo no sympathy with ties trade or with aiy other than a Just pro active tariff policy. Protection la now the accepted, Irrevocable policy of the nation. New York city, where the majority for Cleveland swells np to acorea of thousands, now haa vastly more capital In manufacturing than hit Philadelphia, and the actual manufacturing products of the city ex ceed the product! of the eity of factories end homes. The heaviest Iron manufacturers ot the United States are New York city Demo crats, aneh as Samuel J. Tlldenand Abram 8. Hewitt, and there fa not an Industry demanding protection that does not now number active Democrats amoDg Its leading oapltallata. And what la true of New York city la eqnallytrue of New Jeraey, Connecti cut and Indiana, where Clerelend received electoral votes. They are all protective tariff Stale a-New York being much more so than Rcpubl can Illinois, Iowa, Ksnaas or Ne braska, and they will make end maintain Jnat and liberal discrimination! in favor of the protection of every general Indnatry, regard less of tho Republican West or the free trade dreamers of North or South. We believe ills conclusion to bo based upon wise and just premises, but there ia eome skirmishing to be done yet. The most important utterance In the above is where Mr. McClure claims to speak advisedly of the position of Mr. Cleveland. But there is a short ses sion ot Congress to be held before Mr. Cleveland shall take bis seat, and a long interregnum before his adminis trative policy shall be made to appear in his first annual message. Mr. Randall has given public expres sion to the belief that Morrison and hil following will renew the horizontal fight at the coming session. There are strong reasons to apprehend that bo ie correct. Hero and there may bo no ticed indications upon tho port of the whisky ring to mako another effort to stuve oil' the payment of taxes. New York Herald says: Durlug the current fiscal Tear nearly 31,000.- COOg.llouc of whlt-ky muit be remove! fro: bonded warehouses, and cither exported t thrown upon the market, lu tho latter evei nearly t90.oei.000 lu taxes mutt ho paid to the government by the owners of the whisky This tax, If enforced, means ruin toth owners, and, it la aald, will Involve the fail of many banka which have made heavy loans secured by this commodity. It throe or four minions of gallons an thrown upon the mar- ket per month there Is no limit to which the price may not tall. It costa about IS cents to mak* a gallon of whisky, and the tax la to cents. There la going to be n heavy 1< So it is altogether likely that much of the limited time of the coming ses- eioa will be uted up in An endeavor to pass a whisky bill by threatening the country with another horizontal tariff bill. Accepting the figure* and prog nostications of the Herald to be correct, there is no good reason why the whisky ring, which has "accumulated wealth," may not pocket any losses which may follow overproduction and depressed business. The country can not be alarmed at a prospect of cheap whisky. Mr. Olevelnna'a fgsoranoo. Mr. H. J. Ramsdell, Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Preu, haa this to say: Hr. Cleveland, I believe, la about 4S years old. Ha haa alwaya lived within a day's Jour ney of Washington, and yot he has never seen Congress In Session, he has never aeon n Pres ident, ho bM novor awn one of the great de partments, and, although a Uwyor (an alleged lawyer), he has never been In the Supreme Court room. Not one of the three co-ordinate branches of the gorerument haa ho ever seen In operation. This is oil true. But there are palli ating circumstances which Mr. Rams- dell should have stated. In the first place there has been little attrac tion to an honest man in a ses sion of Congress daring the last twenty vears; nor have the Presidents of the last twenty years been of such a character as to tempt a visit from an honest man living in even "a day's journey" of Washington. Many very good men have never been into the de partments or Supreme Court room. The departments are the refuge of the tools that have been used to dishonor this government, and the* Supreme Court baa been too often the reward of thieves. It will be seen therefore that all that is related of Mr. Cleveland may be true and yet not discreditable to him. But the-time approaches when if Mr. Cleveland neglects to enter into and examine the methods and men nf the three co-ordinate branches of tho government" he may indeed become subject to just criticism for bis ignor ance. Several seats in the Supreme Court will, in all probability, be vaca ted daring his administration. It will become bis duty and his pleasure, doubtless, to increase the stock of honesty which has in that institution been suffered to run too low. It will become his duty to clean out the de partments and give the people serv ants that are not only hon est and capable, but willing to yield labor (br the liberal wages paid. It will be his duty to enter Congress with wise counsels, patriotic plans, and a determination not only to effect stlch an union of the three "co-ordi nate branches” of the government as will give the people good service, good laws and good law, but to supplement all with an executive wisdom that will make this union the mainspring of a great era of national prosperity. Mr. Cleveland is to-day totally ignor ant of the government divisions, but we venture the remirk that ere a year has passed no Republican in ail this broad land will be found complaining that ho continued so. We are sure that none ought to be permitted to complain of want of attention on Mr. Cleveland's part. This letter we may Imagine was de livered by him in person to the post man from his front steps, for sorely so important s document could not have been carelessly dropped into the moil box like ordinary correspondence. Foar months have passed since the writing of this letter—months of stir ring events, hope, anxiety, torchlight processions, elections, results, frantic joy and humiliation. On Monday even ing last Mr. Blaine again came out upon bis front steps, but this time he came to receive the sympathies of the town folks and to make answer to such questions of the hour os seemed to de mand his attention. Again be deemed it necessary that the South should be commented upon, and here in port is what he said: The first Instinct of an American la equality, equality of rights, of privilege, of political power—that equality of power which leys to every citizen “your vote la Juit as godd, Just at potential aa tho vote of any other eltlaen." That cannot be sold today lu tho United/. , ‘ States. The course of affairs In the South haa (tension or these points, we more than once made earnest appeals for the har monizing of the differences that were apparent and that were growing under the heat and temper of discussion. The result has justified and vindicated the position of the Tblkqbaph. The New York World, the special organ of than 1 c.ooo. They are deprived of a free auf-: M r - Cleveland, persistently declared fnse and their rights aa cl iaeaa are scornful* that he did not favor the interpretation •ly trodden under foot. Tho eleven 0 f the platform as given by Carlisle, crushed out the political power of more than 0,000,0CC American cltlaena and has transferred it by violence to others. Forty- two Presidential electors are eaelgnedtothe South on account of the oolorcd population, and yet the colored population, wlih more than J.lot.fCS legal rotes, have been un able to choose a alnyle elector, even in those states where they have a majority of One of the Humors of Po'ltloa. If tho Democratic administration should awsllowapthe Independents, how could the Republican petty be reorganised and made a powerful end beueflelsl organisation? The independents would lose their Identity aa soon as thoy entered the cabinet and the moat promising result of their temporary revolt from their own party—Its purification and reform—would bo loaL—New York VTorld. The point is well taken. The most unfortunate event that now threatens the Democratic party is the total de struction or disintegration ot the Repub lican. The Democratic party is solidi fied by opposition. Left to itself, the conflicting Interests within woald soon produce a disastrous warfare. It has a humorous sound, but it is nevertheless true, that all hands must now rally and help get the Republican party upon its feet again. There can bo no more contests until the prostrate side comes to time unless we amuse ourselves by fighting each other. Ob- vioaaly we cannot assist the Republi can party by seising its moral back bone—the independent section. George William Curtis, he it remembered, said in effect that he was for Cleveland, be cause ho (Curtis) waa a Ro publican; that Cleveland’s euo meant temporary defeat, Blaine's perpetual. George Will' iam looked forward to the day when purged, sponged off and stimulated the Republican giant would get upon ita feet again and toe the mark. We sub mit that George William’s strong ef forts in the late struggle ought to be rewarded with a frank recognition of hie future expectation. But moral rec titude cannot bo rendered mo o beau tiful by the gift of office. \Vo must not tempt a patriotic enemy to play the traitor to his own people nor must we place him where in a moment of weakness he may betray ns. From Mr. Blnlno** Front Steps. On July 15iL Mr. Blaine wrote from Augusta, Me., to tlio national Republi can executive committee, accepting tho nomination for the Presidency. Tlio lettor was a remarkable ono in many respects, but tho South, ever anxious for peace, observed with pleas ure the conservative language of the man upon whom* it then seemed the chief office of the country might de volve# Mr. Blaine's reference to the South waa couched aa follows civil was 1 ‘learning to vindicate righto." If "by a cruel system of intimidation and violence and mu der whenever vi olence and murder are thought neo essai^, they aro absolutely deprived of all political power," the man who had just written the last twenty years of tho country’s political power knew it when he said that "violent out- breaka in the South" were "excep tional" and only "occasional." Mr. Blalne’e July letter was the * topics discussed in those coltitnnH, be yond our readers, Senator Brown rep resents tho flute of Georgia in its highest office. Ho goes to Con- ^ I recognise, not with mt regret, th. necMtlty lotto of a statesman. Mr. Blalno’s for speaking of two tedious of our oommoo November speech, the fulmlnttlons of eountry. But the regret diminishes when I see a narrow partisan, that the •lemeuta v whlch wpusM them are .t,- fast disappearing. Prejudices havo yielded ”“ en together they constitute the and ore yielding, while growing cordiality most prominent epitome of hypocrisy warms tho Southern and Northern heart alike, seen In this age.

It would be a great calamity to ehange these Influences under which Southern commonwealths are learning to vindicate civil righta, and adapting them- selves to the oondltloni of polltloal tranquillity and industrial progress. If there be occa •lonal and violent outbreaks In the South against this peaceful progress, the public opin Ion of the country regard! them aa exception- nl, end hopefully trneta that each will prove the leet. an admirable monument for the vain liar whose remains rest beneath them. An Anxious Inquirer Answered. The Dalton Ctltsrn propounds the following: Will eomebody please tell ua what the Macon TeuasaPH haa to tay now abont Cleveland's chances for the Prealdencyf If we mistake not, that paper, Jnat after the nomination, predicted in overwhelming de feat for Democraoy. There la one very evident fact: Colonel Lamar 1s no prophet. As the Tbliobafr esn beet answeT the inquiry, we have to say: ihat Mr. Cleveland's chances for the Presidency now depend upon the official count of the large and very close vote in the pivotal State of New York. Present Indications justify the belief that the count will be decided in his faro-. The Citizen labors under a mistake. The TsLiaBArn at no time has pre dicted the defeated of the Democracy by on overwhelming voto, as an inde pendent proposition. When the Chi cago convention, by the aid of votes from States that could not cast a Demo cratic electoral vote, insulted and humiliated the right arm of the Demo cratic party in the city of New York, when it supplemented this piece of mon umental tolly by rejecting the Ohio platform tor one that was capable of and did receive a double construction, wo expressed the belief that if these mistakes were not corrected the chances for the success of the Demo cratic party were gloomy. In token of onr interest and appre- | gress tn speuk, to vote to use his Influence in fa vor of pr 'lec tion. It is a pleasing fact that he is . well equipped for this work, and the | free traders will find no abler asd more determined opponent. His election places Georgia fairly upon the projec tion platform, and signalizes tlio growth of this .sentiment under Intelligent discussion. We can point to the fact with some degree of pride. The TiLsoasrn inaugurated the active discussion of this topic three years since. It hoe seen other papers in Georgia drop into line behind it, and it can now congratulate the Legis lature of Georgia on the selection of one of it* able and distinguished advo cates by a large vote.

What a ohange ia here, my country* men t The defender of July has become the accuser of November t The a weet sum mer philanthropy has changed color and become autumnal misanthropy. The glory of smmmer has departed. The desolation of the fail has come. We cannot quote the philosophy and wisdom of any great Maine philoso pher, but wo will at least drag in a philosopher from Mr. Blaine's section to throw light upom the terrible change that has come over th* spirit of the great Magnetic’s dream. Mr. Emerson Bays, in effect, that before you .accept the opinions of a man, first determine why he is on that side. If we examine Mr. Blaine's language of July and Hr. Bloins’e language of November with the candle borrowed from Mr. Emerson, there can remain no mystery in the mighty ehaage wrought in four fleeting months. tn July Mr. Blaine was expectant. He desired the support of the South, which the hopeful and discriminating Mr. Elkins promised him, under the skill of fin* leadership, might be dis rupted. In November, with Mr. Elkins’s brief but cemprehensive telegram in his pocket, Mr. Blaine has ceased to hope and is himself again. But the defeated Republican candi date hoe opened even wider the joints in hie battered armor by his impudent curses hurled southward in this the hour ot hie humiliation. No change has beon wrought in this section affect ing the negro. That eminently happy Btato of feeling said by Mr. Blaine to be the result of Republican methods and existing between tho North and South, yot remains, but solidified and sanctified. If in July it would havo been “a great calamity to ehange the influences under, whloh the Southern commonwealths are learning to vindi cate civil rights and adapting them selves to the conditions of political tranquillity,” it would be a greater calamity now. The late election was the most peaceable over held in the Sonth, and the "public opinion of the country regards as exceptional” still the "occasional violent outbreaks. 1 There has occurred nothing since July that should lead Mr. Blaine to regret his handsome defenso of the South and her methods bat Mr. Blaine’s defeat. If "the course of affaire in the South hoe crushed out the political power of more than 0,000,000 American citi' sene,” Mr. Blaine know it in July. If “they aro deprived of freo suffrage, and their righta as citizens are scorn fully trodden under foot," it has been going on jnst that way tor twenty years and Mr. Blaino had the facts before him in July, when ho said tho South Hurd, Morrison and Watterson, and when the donbt grew stronger Mr. Cleveland was carried into the States of Connecticut and New Jersey, to as sure the people that he did not mean to disturb their industries. No Intelligent and fair-minded man, looking at the figures in New York city, can fail to admit that but for the vote of Tammany, the organisation insulted and spurned at Chicago, there would be no necessity now to count the votes. Mr, Cleveland would have been defeated by the votes of those organisations which were active and prominent in seeming the blow at Tammany, that was an indefensible and unmitigated outrage. Before tho 4th of November camo,the Democratic party was cowering in fear and abasement before the men it had wronged and insulted. We have rea son to know that the leador of Tam many pocketed the insult, rallied his followers and turned the tide of battle, for the reason that the defeat of the Democracy would Insure the further oppression and suffering of the South ern people. We are entirely satisfied with the re sult. We recede from no position we have assumed, and would not now al ter, amend, abridge or mitigate any opinion delivered in the campaign. We see clearly the dangers and diffi culties to come to the party in the fu ture horn the claims of candidates of the various factions, the demands of the hungry office-seekers and the diversity of opinions «f those who claim to have done most for Mr. Cleve land's election. As we do not expect to seek office or dole out patronage to others, we are In a position to sustain Mr. Cleveland when some of his enthusiastic partisans of to-day will be eager to tear him down. We may add that if the effort to elect Mr. Cleveland in Georgia had been half so persistent as the one to slander, misrepresent and destroy tho TxLKaRAPH, it would have been shown in his majority.

Borne of the voters will receive their compensation in lemonade and other delicacies at Concordia Hall to-night. Others, no doubt, expect to receive theirs when the dividing-out of the plunder captured in (he Presidential campaign takes place. By this election Georgia is committed by her representatives to the national policy ot protection. It has been the dominant, controlling issue since the assembling of' Congress in December lost.
