stood by him until victory settled

his election means that those who

There are other things implied
in the election of Mr- Cleveland,
but the above are sufficient to in-

The rush and scramble for office
that is now going on throughout
the United States is amusing
and disgusting. The average
American citizen thinks he has a
birthright to some office, and that
he is unjustly deprived of his
right if he does not get an
office. Just at this time the life of
a Democratic Congressman is
made most miserable by an
of office seekers. Every
mail brings to every Democratic
Congressman a of letters and
petitions from persons to
feed out of the crib. For
several months the lime of every
Democratic Congressman will be
occupied in the distribution of
Federal s, in trying to satisfy
the demands of his constituents.
And of course he cannot satisfy
them all, because the majority of
them must necessarily be
pointed. While it may be very
gratifying to the pride of n Con

Planters appear to be market-
the crop more freely, than usual

situation which evidently is asserting

legislation removed and a curtailment of
the movement, we think a higher plane
of values would soon be reached. The
passage of the Anti-Option bill will give
the control i f the value of cotton to for-
