It. a few of which we will name The political trickster has Said to the that if Mr. Cleve- land is elected he would be made a slave This is not true ard the one who so informed the colored man knew it was not true. The freedom of the colored man is made sure by the constitution and his right of will never be denied him. The will vote and enjoy the benefits of the amendment until the same is abolished, which is hardly within the range of possibilities. There will be no earthquakes occasioned by the election el Mr. Cleveland. The world will move on. The sun will rise and set and the revolutions of the earth will be the same. You will not be able to find money on the trees nor on the roads. Every dollar you get you labor for it yon steal it. Don't think that after Mr. Cleve- land is inaugurated you will have ail the money you His election will be no remedy for laziness nor idleness. If you think so it is time you had it. 4- Don't think you are going to get cents per pound for you cotton, per bushel for your corn and a corresponding pi ice for your wheat, rice, peanuts and It is hardly probable that you will get more for what you make than the real worth. But are some things that you have a right to expect and things implied in the election of the President-elect to the highest office within the gift of the 1- Mr. Cleveland was neither nominated nor elected by the classes. It was an uprising of the people at Chicago at the lot box that him the dent-elect. The money power was against him, but the people stood by him until victory settled upon his banner. Wage earners were soon and late in their sup- port and fealty and through them he has won a handsome victory. They have a right to expect that his administration will at least friendly to them. If he should do I hat which means the triumph institutions must go and the election of Mr- Cleveland plies that their days are Mr. Cleveland that office is a public and Vice-President-elect says that Democrats are the best trustees. We believe to the tors belong the spoils. Should the of Current Events ever become President he would only place in office such as are in harmony with his in eve- particular. We know not what will be Mr. Cleveland's policy but his election means that those who supported him are entitled to the emoluments of tho officers within his gift. There are other things implied in the election of Mr- Cleveland, but the above are sufficient to in- what may expected. 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 to have so much Federal patronage, so many offices, within his bestowal, on the same principle that bring it must be at times very annoying and disagreeable. Certainly he is apt to offend more persons than he can please, and to more curses than thanks.
