THE SUN. BY EVANS & BRYAN, FAYETTE rI LLE, X. C. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1SS4. THE LATEST. The news comes to us tliat a plan is on foot to weaken President Cleveland's Administration hy a Re publican Senate's refusal to con firm his appointees to oilice. Really this is the smallest tiling we have heard, except Blaine's Augusta Speech. The Senate of the United States engaged in a childish attempt to clog the wheels of government! Ye trust all sense of decency and honor has not deserted the Republi can party at the first approach of defeat. Those venerable grey-beards were not sent to the council cham ber of the nation to place obstruc tions in the way of the progress of government, but to aid in its ad vancement. Cleveland has been made President 0$ this country by a large majority of its ) oters, and any Senator who lends himself to a con spiracy to weaken- Clevelands ad ministration abuses a public trust and will of necessity follow in the footstops of Mr. Blaine and other corrupt men. The country has just made a new departure. Reform now is the watchword, and political death will be the portion meted to those who recklessly place themselves in the wav of its execution. THE CItY OF THE JOEEERS. The solid South ! The control of the Rebel Brigadiers! are the cries which go out from Mr. Blaine and the Northern Republicans. Mr. Blaine's party didn't want the South out of the Union and insisted with strong emphasis that she remain a part of it. The South accepted and is to-day- a very important part. As a part, the South has a right to choose between good and corrupt men to administer the government. When the South in the exercise of that great privilege puts her men forward, the dishonest jobbers of the North crv out "The Rebel Brhj juliers thev come' There was a time when such -immaculate men as Blaine and others could have been rid of the Rebel Brigadiers simply by letting them alone. Oh! "con sistency what a jewel thou art!'' MOStTtOOFAST. The Aid Journal published at Lebanon Pennsylvania, raves over the result of the election after this fashion: '"For the people of the Southern States to come as a solid body and ask that the government which they tried to destroy should be handed over to their indirect control, is a demand . in such unreasonable shape that it seems impossible that sensible men should make it. Tiie unreasonableness of the implied proposition that the defenders and preservers of the government should turn it over into the virtual control of those who tried to destroy it. for the sake of reconcilliat ion an 1 peace, or for any other reason, has no par allel in history, and can have no other effect than to invite and pro voke the bitterest opposition against Mich an unjust, and to the people of other States, dangerous looking proposition. So Ion' as the South remains a sectional -unit or raged against the part if s that saved the Union, so long -will it provoke a united opposition, and so it should; for the encouragement of sectional solidity for partizan purposes is the worst form of demagogism, danger ous to the peace and happiness of tho people, and should destroy the influence and power of any party that seeks-to be benefited y it' .If the editor of the Aid Journal lived during the war he will perhaps remember that DEMOCRATS as well as Republicans contributed to the- prosecution of the war on the Northern side, that thousands upon thousands of the soldiers which com posed the Yankee army were mem bers 'of the DEMOCRATIC party. He will remember that Gen. McCle! Jan at' one time Commander in Chief of the Yankee army, was a DEMOCRAT. He will also remem ber that Winfield Scott Hancock a Major General in the same army was a DEMOCRAT. The Demo cratic party was in a minority North during the war but it contributed its might toward the support of the Uuion, amU the editor of the Aid Journal had better be less extreme and more honest. WR. BLAINE. Mr. Blaine says: -'The colored pop ulation with more than 1,100,000 legal votes have been unable to choose a single elector. Mr. Blaine could hare gone on and said the Republican party .with 5200,000 votes were unable to choose a Pres ident. ' Tor ways that are dark, and for tricks that are vain, The heathen Chinee i (no longer) peculiar. BLAINE'S SPEECH AT AUGUSTA, Elsewhere in this paper is pub lished a speech delivered by Mr. J. G. Blaine, at Augusta, Maine, on Tuesday evening ISth inst. Every man of self-respect in the South or in the Union, may fer vently thank God for the Country's deliverence from Blainism, and earn estly ask that it may in the future be spared such a fate. The civil war has been ended twenty years. The South has enteed the Union again on terms of equality with other States composing it. The increase in the Southern electoral vote was made by her persecutors for partisan pur poses, r. Blaine aiding, and his bit ter denunciations against the use of that vote by the Democracy to put down such demogogucs as himself, are as silly as they are bitter. Mr. Blaine has just passed through an exhaustive and' warmly contest ed election, in which he was one of the two aspirants for the high offiiee of President of the United States. Had he been elected, he would have been President of the South as well as of the North. Could he have discharged the duties of that high position with equal fairness to all parts of the Union, entertaining such sentiments as was given out in his speech' at Augusta on the 18th inst ? Can any man of intelligence fail to see the kind of government he would have extended towards the South, had lie been made President? No honest, straight-forward, moral man will array one individual against another, vet without anv cause more than the pique of his personal defeat, Mr. Blaine arrays the voters of the North and West, against the WHITE men of the South. How can good feeling between the North and South ever be restor ed while such fanatical demagogues as Jim Blaine live? The following from the Raleigh Xeirs and Observer on the subject is verv forcible: Mr. Blaine conplains that there are many negroes in the South and thev have been unable to choose a single elector. What ad captand um nonsense is this? There are many Democratic Irishmen in Massachu setts who are unable to choose a single elector! There are many white Democrats in Illinois and they are not able to choose a single elec tor. There are many white Dem ocrats in Ohio, in Iowa, in Kansas, in California, See, kc, and they are not able to choose a single elector! There are more "white Democrats at the North who cannot choose a sin gle elector than there are negro Republicans at the South. There are three millions of Democratic white voters living in eighteen Northern States who are not able to choose a single elector, and are en firelv unrepresented in the electoral collgo. But what of it? Does Mr. Blaine propose anv wav for them to have a voice in the electoral coll these three million white men? CLEVELAND'S ADMINISTRATION. Some of the newspapers are dis cussing or rather speculating upon the course President Cleveland will take in the selection of cabinet and other government officers. The Pittsboro Home says: "But the question comes up, will the president confine himself to Democrats in making his cabinet appointments and in filling impor tant foreign missions? Cleveland is a Democrat and is doubtless attached to his party, but he is thoroughly imbued with the sentiment that a public office is a public trust." Mr. Cleveland will select his office holders from among Democrats. This country has been ruled by the Republicans for twentT-four years, and the corruptions of that party forced a change which was effected by the VOTERS of this country on the 4th day of November. That change meant a Democratic Govern ment. Should the officers of the general Government be appointed from both the Democratic and Re publican parties, the Government would be neither Democratic nor Republican, and the will of the people expressed at the polls would not be carried out. G rover Cleve land is honest, and believes that "a public office is a public trust," and will therefore administer his office in accordance with the expressed wishes of those who placed him in it. It is both idle and vain to say that his election is due to the Indepen dent vote of the North and for that reason he should consider that vote when his appointments are made. Mr. Cleveland was nominated by DEMOCRATS, and as a DEMO CRAT was supported by the Inde pendent vote. Their action was nothing more than what they re garded to be a choice between two evils. Had Edmunds or Hoar or John Sherman been nominated in the place of Blaine it is highly probable that vote would have gone Republican. BLUE RAVES HE FIERCELY ATTACKS THE SOUTH AND WAVES THE BLOODY SHIRT. He Endeavors to Set Sections at Strife He Charges the South With Un fairness Comments cf the Northern Press on the Speech. A large number of the devoted personal and political friends of Mr. Blaine serenaded him Tuesday evening at Augusta, Me., as an expression of personal goodwill and admiration of his conduct of the national campaign. Mr. Blaine ap peared and made a speech, in which, after expressing his gratitude for the support he had received, he said: "A change of little more than live tnousand votes would have transferred New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut to the Republican standard, and would have made the North as soldid as the South. . "The result of the election, my friends, will be regarded in the fu ture. I think, as extraordinary. The Northern States, leaving out the cities of New York and Brooklyn from the count, sustained the Re publican cause by a majority of more that 400,000 almost half a million, indeed of the popular vote. ihe cities ot New York and Brook lyn threw their great strength and influence with the solid South and were the decisive element which gave to that section the control or the national government. Speaking now not fit all as a defeated candi date, but as a loyal and devoted American, I think the transfer of the political power of the govern ment to the feouth is a great na tional misfortune. It is a misfor tune because it introduces an ele ment which cannot insure harmony and prosperity to the people, because it introduces into the republic the rule of a minority. "The course of affairs in the South has crushed out the political power of more than six million American citizens, and has transferred it by violence to others. Eortv-two Pres idential electors are .assigned to the South on account of the colored population, and yet the colored pop ulation, with more than 1,100,000 legal votes, have been unable to choose a single elector. Even in those States where they have a ma jority of more than a hundred thou sand they are deprived of free suf frage, and their rights as citizens are scornfully trodden under foot. The eleven States that comprised the Rebel Confederacy had by the census of lSsO seven and a half millions white population and five million three hundred thousand col ored population. The colored popu lation, almost to, n. man, desire to support the Republican party, but by a system of cruel intimidation and by violence and murder, when ever violence and murder are thought necessurv, they are absoluteh de prived of all political power. '"To illustrate just how it works to the destruction of all fair elections, let me present to you five Stat.s in the late Confederacy and five loyal States of the North, possessing in each section the same number of (doctoral votes. In the South the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama. Georgia and South Caio lina have in the aggregate 48 elec toral votes. They' have 2,S00,000 white people and over 3,000,000 col ored people. In the North the States of "Wisconsin, Mianessob, Iowa, Kansas and California have likewise in the aggregate 4S elector al votes, and they have a white pop ulation of 5,000,000, or just about double the the five Southern States which I have named. These North ern Stales have practically no col ored population. It is' therfore evi dent that the white men in those Southern States by usurping and absorbing the rights of the colored men are exerting just double the political power of the Avhite men in the Northern States. I submit that such a condition of affairs is extra ordinary, unjust and derogatory to the manhood of the North. Even those who are vindictively opposed to negro suffrage will not deny that if Presidential electors are assigned to the South by reason of the ne gro population, that population ought to be. permitted free suffrage. To den v. that clear proposition is to affirm that a Southern white man in the Gulf States is entitled to double the political power of a Northern white man in the Lake States: it is to affirm that a Confed erate soldier shall wield twice the influence in the Nation that a Union soldier can, and that ' a perpetual and constantly increasing superiori ty shall be conceded to the Southern white man in the government of the Union. "If that be quietly conceded in this generation it will harden into custom, until the badge of inferi ority will attach to the Northern white man as odiously as ever Nor man noble stamped it upon Saxon churl. This subject is of deep in terest to the laboring men of the North. With the Southern democ racv triumphant in their States and in the nation th negro will be com pelled to work for just such wages as the whites may decree; wages which wiU amount, as did the sup plies of the slaves, to a bare sub sistence, equal in cash perhaps to 35 cents per day, if averaged over the entire South'. Mr. Blaine argued that this would reduce wages in the North. "Few persons in the North' he continued, 'realize how completely the chiefs of the rebellion wield the political power which has triumphed in the late election. It is a portentious fact that the democratic Senators who carhc from the States of the late Confederacy all and I mean all. without a single exceptionperson ally part-kip.-tted in the . rebillion againsHtl national government. It is a still more significant fact that in those states no man who was loyal to the Union, no matter how 't f-i:g 1 Democrat he ma' be to day, hasjthe slightest chance of po litical promotion. The one great avenue U honor in that section is the record of a zealous service in the war agains the government. It is certainly an astounding fact that the section in which friendship for the Union in the day of its trial and agoliy is still a political dis qualification should now be called to rule over the Union. UA11 this takes place during the lifetime of the generation that fought the war, and elevates into practical command of the American govermeht the identical men who organized for its destruction and plungedjasinto the bloodies contest of modiCfvtimes. I have spoken of the South as placed by the late elec tion in possession of the govern ment, and I mean all that my words imply. The South furnished near ly three-fourths of the electoral votes that defeated the Republican party, and they will step to the com- manu ot the Democratic party as unchallenged and as unrestrained as as they held the same position for thirty years betore the civil war. "Gentiemen, there cannot be po litical inequality among the citi zens of a free republic; there can not be a minority of white men in the South ruling a majority of white men in the North. Patriotism, self-respect, pride, protection for person and safety for country, all cry out against it. The very thought of it stirs the blood of men who in hcrit equality from the Pilgrims who first stood on Plymouth fiock, and from liberty-loving patriots who came to the Delaware with Win I Ynn. It becomes the primal ques tion of American manhood. "It de mands a hearing and a settlement and that settlement will vindicate the equality of American citizens in all personal and civil rights. Purposely I may say instinctive lv I have discussed the issues am consequences of that contest without reference to mv own defeat, without the the remotest reference to the gentleman who is elevated to the Presidedency. Towards linn per sonally I have no cause for th slightest ill-will, and it is with cor diality I express the wish that his official career may prove gratiying to 1. nnself and beneficial to the conn try, and that his administration may embarrassment which the peculiar source of its power im poses upon it from the hour of it: birth."
