In themselves significant of the trend

It was not a victory in which the
South, with a little outside aid, tought

was a fight of all sections combined,
North, South, Kast and West, to re
place dishonest government and op
pressive taxation with a party whose
purity of principles cannot he ques

Tlic time hnd come when the coun
try was ripe for governmental revolu

wipe out from the campaign . nil sec

Tho fact-tlmt minis, Wisconsin,

New Jersey and Connecticut joined In
with the South tu make (Democratic
victory more overwhelming and com
plete, carries with it the significance
that the majority of our Northern
brothers have long ago dropped sec
tional ideas and left t|iem alone to
those bitter pnrtlsnn radicals of the
Tourgee stamp.
Standing on the threshold of thnt
future when Henry Grady predicted
thnt there would he no North, no
South, no Knst ami no West, let us
cuuBccratu this brilliant victory upon
the altar of the peoples’ government.
T.ct us hope that this great vletory In
which the North joined hands with
the South has forever wiped’out scc-
tlonnl lines in the heart of every true
and loyal American citizen.
THOME DBPFTV )IARSnAI.S.
The Scramble for government posi
tions under the Democratic adminis
tration has commenced already. The
news that Cleveland bad been elected
had scarcely been confirmed before
candidates were announced for nearly
every government position in the
country, from the President’s Cabinet
down to local mall oarrlers.
The Herald lias no desire to dis
courage those who are proceeding on
the "early bird” Idea, nor would
we be understood as Intending to
criticise unkindly any whe nspire to
hold office under the Democratic ad
ministration; yet we regret to see the
unusual haste thgt Is being made by
Democrats all over the country, In
filing their applications and pres: lug
their claims for government patron
age.
The indications are that there wilF
be many more place seekers than,there
will be plnces to be tilled, and the rush
of applicants and the scramble fur
office that will follow tho change of
control at Washington from one
political party to another on the
fourth of March next, promises to be
unprecedented nnd disgusting. We
arc sorry to sec these indications, too,
so soon after the election—even before
the smoke oi battle has had time to
Bettle, or the victorious leaders can
dearly see their way. It doesn’t look
well, and will subject the Democratic
party, nnd more especially our South
ern Democrats, to the scorn nnd de
rision of our politioal enemies. It
gi^es them a chance to say that we
are more eager for the spoils than
concerned about the triumph of the
principles of Democracy.

One of the most grntlfylng features
of tho glorious Democratic vlotory
scored In last Tuesday’s election is tho
rebuke thnt has been given to federal
Interference in the election; and one
of the best articles thnt we havo seen
on this subject is in Thursday’s Phila
delphia Record. Tho Rcoord says;
“A more open nnd shameless bribery
wns never perpetrated than that of
hiring thousands of deputy marshals
In New York with the shallow pre
text of employing them to protect the
ballot-box. This army, recruited from
the slums of the metropolis, was ut
terly Incapable of performing such i
service hnd It been desired. But the
form of employing these deputy mar
shals, at $8 a day, was only the cover
for bribing them to vote the Republi
can ttoket. How well the shabby de
vice suocecdod may be seen In the eleo
tlon returns. The great shame of It
Is that the ofltolals of the United States
Government are the agents In this
work of wholesale corruption.
“Aa Congress had made no provis
ion for tho payment of the deputlea of
Marshal JnoobtiB, and It is not likely
to make any, they were paid out. of the
Republican corruption fund, in the
hope of reimbursement from the spoils
of u successful campaign. Rut, ns the
campaign has proved disastrous, there
iH no feasible mode of recovering this
outlay. Congress will subjectThe ac
counts of Mnrshnl Jacobus nnd Super
visor Davenport to a most rigid
jicrutluy; and nut a dollar will be paid
except upon positive proof of Its hon
est expenditure. It is time now to
pul an end to this official system of
bribery and Corruption,"
ITUS AMIIMMU.
Now that the election Is over It is
amusing to see'the Republican organs
admit their overwhelming defeat and
then try to explain how it all came
about.
The Chicago Inter Ocean does it
very gracefully ns follows;
“There is no longer any doubt that
the Democrats have won a great vic
tory. The first reports nil showed it,
hut late Tudsdny night, or rather early
Wednesday morning, there was a rift

NORTHER OR A
EXHIBIT.
GEORGIA
No disoussion of a Georgia exhibit
at the World's Fair can come amiss.
Georgians, whose State Ib now the
only one which has not mada arrange
ments to be represented there, would
hang their nends in shame when they
gazed on the beautiful displays made
by sister States and realized that
Georgia’s magnificent resources were
not represented among them.
On this point Governor Northen
pertinently says:
“I think the question one of the
most Important before the people of
the State at the present time. “I have
worked hard for it for a year. We
should not, by any miaohanoe, fail to
be at the exposition with an exhibit
that will be the equal of that sent by
any other State. We have too much to
gain by having an exhibit, and too
much to lose by not having one. 1 am
more than ever impressed with this
idea Blnoe my recent visit to the State
Fair at Macon. I saw there the grand
est agricultural exhibit ever made by
our people. It was an objeot lesson
never to be forgotten. I was con
vinced by what I saw that Geor
gia can make an exhibit at
Chicago that will astonish our sister
States and the farmers of Europe,
thousands of whom are looking for
homes in America. We can make
magnificent exhibit; and we should
not full to have one at the Columbian
exposition.”
Words like these should interest
every good oltizen in the enterprise
which would ever redound to Geor
gia’s welfare and honor.
I.et’s have an exhibit.

About seven o’clock last night the
fire bell began ringing long and loud,
summoning all the patriotic none of
liberty to the grand celebration.
The tire engines turned out and
headed the procession, followed by a
crowd bearing torches and numerous
transparencies Illustrating Die jest
and mirth of the campaign. The par-
ade was kept up until all in it wrre
heartily tired out and wauled some
more substantial fun.
Many of the transparencies they car
ried were good ones indeed, illustrat

which the exigencies of the campaign

tion to pioturu just how happy some
of Albany’s old-timers were. Many of
them had witnessed just such scenes
in previous campaigns, and knew just
exactly what to look for, and how to
take everything that cnine along.
Altogether, it was a great celebra
tion. All our people caught spirit
of success, and, fired by the resultant
enthusiasm, announced their feelings-
over the victory in prolonged and loud
demonstrations. Tho uiujority of the
erowd, however, feels, to-day, that the
demonstrations were of the prolonged

conversation had lieen intersting to
the people in the “L" car in which
the two women sat. but when they
touched upon the subject of men
who weep the passengers dropped
oil pretense and gave the young
philosophers their undivided atten
tion.
It was the woman in the new seal
skin jacket who introduced the topic.
“Their profound selfishness is wlmt

absently ut a stout man who sat op

from view liehiml his newspaper.
“The average woman is nothing if
not sympathetic. She weeps pro
fusely over her own troubles, but as a
rule she will weep just us freely over
yours—if you happen to mention
them at the right time. But take
the average man. Is there sympa
thy in his soul I No. Is ho capable
of weeping \yith you ? Never. And
yet it's not because he’s too manly to
weep, hut he will sit down ut almost
any time and shed scalding team
over trouble of his own."
The woman iu tho tan colored ul

never seen them do it, and the stout
man emerged frbtu behind his news

But her companion smiled a chilling
smilo.
“Within five weeks I have seen
seven men cry." she remarked cold

Tifton, G^., Nov. 18.—The Seoond
Quarterly Convention of the Worth
county Sumlay-sohoel Asssoola|toji |
was held at Ty Tjr yesterday.
After the call to order at 11 o’olook,
the visiting delegates were warmly
welcomed by Rev. C. Mg Evans, of Ty
Ty, and tho welcome was accepted in
behalf of the delegates by J. W. Perry,
of Sumner, the reports from thirty-
nine schools in the county showed an
increased growth in the work, nearly
all of them being In fine condition,
and several new schools-organized, alto
though this is the hardest season
the year for the Sunday-school worka J
The action of the president townrLI
perfecting the county organizatioi
was approved by tho Convention. Thi
resignation of J. W. Evans, o
Ashburn, was received nnd accepted
and C. G. Dell, of Ty Ty, was electa
in IiIr stead ns vice-president.
Rev. J. W. WJIIiains addressed tht
Convention on the objeots and resulti i
of Sunday-schools nnd hit sorm
sledge-hammer blows at the opposi
tion to the work.
One of the best basket dinners the
writer has ever partaken of
served on the ground, and every one i
was bountifully fed.
After dinner the convention .listen
ed to an eloquent, learned and enter
taining address by Prof. Smiley, *of
Sumner, and received a great deal of
encouragement from it.
The balance of the evening was
taken up in short talks front pastors, i
executive committeemen and superin
tendents on their ideas and methods <
conducting and managing Sundap
schools. This was greatly enjoyed I
all, and much good advice was git;
and received, and it is thought all re
ceived more or less benefit from it.
A vote of thanks was tendered the ■' l .
citizens of Ty Ty for their hospitality.
A meeting of the Association officers,
together with all the executive com
mitteemen, was oalled to meet at Sum

The I] liman Memory.
A writer in The Atlantic Monthly
presents eurious factH with regard to
the operation of. the human mem
ory. Ho takes the ground that the
memory supplies the place of talent
in many- cases, and cites an instance
in which a rare success in point of
style was proved to have been
achieved by a mosaic of sentences
carried in the., mind from various
waiters, and carefully dovetailed into
a piece of work which proved a tri
umph in its completeness. The capi
tal of most writers consists in in
formation, nnd to the faculty of
memory they are chiefly indebted
for this. Memory is almost a substi
tute for genius itself at times, and
may certainly afford its possessor
tlmt which passes for originality.
