THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
The Regard In Wlm hlt Mag Be Held Among the Souther > People - The Hlirjcningham, Ala., Age-Herald, in editorial says:’ ■ “The South ■has been done with sectionalism since hqr armies surrendered. She desires nothing more than a complete obliteration of sectional lines and issues in politics. There is ho personal id-feeling entertained toward the President-elect in the South. He is a gentleman by birth and education, and the South always appreciates a man of that character. There are some apprehensions in the South that a Republican administration may return to.-’the baneful "policy of interference in Southern local affairs Nvhich marked former administrations of that party. The South is too busy building railroads, furnaces and factories, and developing her mineral resources to desire any political agitation. The South will be as friendly to President Harrison as he is to the South. In the same degree that he reposes trust in the Southern people and treats them as he does the people of other sections, will the Southern people return that trust. That the South cherishes any feeling of sullen resentment is wholly imaginary. Let the South be assured that the in coming administration intends it no harm then will the administration receive as kindly a welcome here as in any other part of the Union.” All the leading Democratic papers of the State have published editorials of a similar tenor and they seem to voice the sentiments of all respectable Democrats.
