Tlio candidacy of llonry George for
the mayoralty of New York is a matter
of profound interest, not to New York
city and state only, hut to tlio whole
nation. It is the lirst instance in the
history of tlie nation of a labor ticket,
pure and simple, upon a large scale. It
is a deliberate and carefully planned ef
fort of wage workers to enter into Amer
ican polities as a distinct and separate
party, upon a platform of principles
which they believe, if carried out, would
redress their general wrongs and greatly
better th'dr general condition. Whether
right or wrong, their movement promises
to he at least temporarily formidable,
and is attracting profound attention from
t his country, and, indeed, from the whole
civilized world. Their last public meet
ing (Friday night), held in
('bickering hall to endorse the
nomination of Henry George for
mayor, was an immense and enthusiastic
gathering. Under the circumstances an
inquiry into the personal views of Mr.
Georgo, which have led to his preferment,
by the laboring class, would bo of inter
est, but we w ill lirst notethc surrounding
political situation. The republicans w ill
nominate this week a straight ticket.
The prohibitionists already have their
candidate, Mr. Wardwell, in the field,
and are vigorously pressing him. The
question then is, what will the demo
crats do? If Tammany and the County
Democracy wove to unite upon one can
didate they could in all probability elect
him, but the prospects of such a
union are not flattering. The
County Democracy declare their
intention to renominate Mayor Grace,
which would precludeany union. Upon
the other hand, Tammany talks of in
dorsing Mr. George. The fact is. the
great mass of the working men, he they
Knights of Labor or trades unionists, are
democrats; therefore, if a candidate is
run against George, a fatal division of
democratic strength will result in placing
a republican in the mayor's chair. On
the other hand, if they unite on < ieorge,
his election is reasonably assured. Hut
will George consent to a pro rata distri
bution of the patronage? Ifj
he assents, Tammany will ac
cept him without further ado,
but should he decline to make any prom
ises or pledges, the old foxes are afraid
when the election is over they might dis
cover that they hud only been pulling
somebody’s chestnuts out of the fire.
There has never been a question as to
either the ability or the personal charac
ter of Mr. George, hut many gravely
doubt his possession of the executive
ability required for so important an otlice
as the mayoralty of the great city of
New York. That is a ques
tion, however, which a practical
test alone can decide, but the political ,
and social views which have led to his
present prominence may easily he grasp- |
ed. After a career us printer, sailor,
clerk, printer again, and then editor, Mr.
George lirst commanded attention by the
publication of his work in IS77, entitled
“Progress and Poverty,” and his fame
was much more enhanced by the issu
ance early in the present year of his far
abler volume on “Protection or Free
Trade.” He entertains and promulgates
some peculiar socialistic views as to the
ownership and treatment of land, lie is
very pronounced and emphatic for free
trade. On this point he holds that the
incoming of the products of cheap labor
is a very different thing from the
incoming of cheap laborers. That the
free importation of Chinese commodities
would not in the slightest affect wages;
but under our present condition the free
immigration of Chinese laborers would
lessen wages. He says that the indus
tries which our tariff aims to protect are
those in which the mere workmen are
helpless—those which cannot be carried
on without large establishments, costly
machinery and great amounts of capital.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says of Mr.
George "that his free trade views may
not make him mayor of New York, but
ho could very readily go to
congress upon them, and that if in the
house of representatives he would drop
Ins socialistic vagaries mid confine him
self to the tariff question, the land would
soon be too small to hold his fame; and
labor, relieved of its terrible burden of
taxation, would hail him as a universal
benefactor. We have devoted this much
ol our editorial space to a notice of Mr.
George, not only because he is now crea-
ting, but in future is likely to create no
small stir in American polities.
Illfi HAM'S DURKIN.
Mr. Jere Dennis is the editor of tie
Dadeville (Ala.) Democrat, one of the
liveliest little sheets that comes to thi
office. Jere seems to have just assume';
entire control of the Dadeville Demo
crat, and lie isn't particular about who
knows it. He lias a breezy way of firing
off his little gems of thought tlud
smacks of the free and unturned wesi.
But tlio very uniqueness of his style
makes it attractive. His peculiar sty!,
can lie compared to nothing but a subtb
blending of a comic commencement
speech with one of the psalms of David.
A man is hard to please who reads one
of Jere’s editorials and is not pleased at
any sentiment in it; and a man is hard
to strike who reads one of his articles
through and is not struck by anything
in it. One of his editorials is a medley
of vengeance mid devotion and dancing,
and kneeling and whistling and weeping.
Between the lines of one paragraph we
can almost read—
“Hark i from tlio tomb a doleful sound,”
while between the lines of the next bub
bles up the rippling refrain—
“Oh 1 Jimmie is your ash cake done?”
But to be appreciated Jere must be
heard. He grows on you. He is first
endured, then admired, then embraced.
When it comes to building a four-story
editorial with a lire-placo in every room
and a bull dog in the front yard, Jere is
the man to send for, whether the
doctor is at home or not.
The following is bis lead
ing editorial in n recent issue. It is his
Jeremiad, so to speak. Hut we want h>
lift the curtain and let the reader see
Jere, red breeches and all. Here is the
editorial ;
“Ah high as the heights, as deep as the depths,
under ray management the Dadeville* Democrat
shall bo as the stone cut out of the mountain—
the farther it rolls under the management of
.lore Dennis the more power will it gather, until it
breaks and crushes everything before it. Right
in the heart of Dadeville I have planted my
colors, and above Dadeville’s citadel
they shall forever and forever triumph
antly wave. My board does not cost me anything,
I now do my own editing and set ray own type ;
expenses, therefore, are nominal. I live here
with my father, and with these advantages, lean
edit and run a newspaper on foO a month less
money than anybody else in town. I am here to
stay. Me and my newspaper business is a per
manent fixture of the town, and the people may
just as well to begin to regard it that way. My
paper always lias been and always will be better
than any that can be started up here to dowu
me. I make no exceptions, and I throw down
the challenge to all comers. When the new set
of county officers take their seat, I em
phatically believe that they will act
like men, and I therefore do not entertain any
fears whatever of being mistreated by them in
regard to the county printing and courthouse
work. Thanking the people for the generous
support and warm words of encouragement they
have so lavishly bestowed upon me in the past,
and hoping that 1 will always receive and merit
a continuance of the same, 1 am as over
“Their friend, Juki: Dennis."
There is something so original and
catching in a man who signs an editorial,
like it was a promissory note, and who
signs it “their friend,” instead of
‘ your friend,” that we feel
like if we had time and could
make the necessary preparation for
carrying mi such a Imsinc.'S, we would
like to invest our all, besides what sur
plus easli we could borrow, in an dibi t
to know more of this editor. There is
something so fresh about him that we
“long to be there too.” Jere’s language
is truly thrilling, especially where lie
saddles up ihe following mustang meta
phor and rides it down the lane: “Bight
in the heart of Dadeville 1 have planted
my colors ami above Dudevillc’s citadel
they shall forever and forever trium
phantly wave.” This is a had time of
year to be planting colors, and
if .lere doesn’t iiiiiid Ids
ignorance of this department of agricul
ture will make hint no longer solid
among the fanners. Colors are not
raised by planting. Colors arc horn. A
color bearer is wlmt .lere wants. But
his appeal to the county olticers leaves
them no alternative but to patronize his
paper, tie is bound to reap a harvest
of ollieial advertising. Still, as a pointer
for Jere, we would fain remind him that
a little free whisky and judicious pulling
carefully pktntcd about the court house
grounds might bear more fruit in due
season, than all the colors of the
rainbow planted in the rich
est soil on earth. You can't depend on a
color after it isplanlod; the chick
ens may scratch it up and eat it, and the
caterpillar might roost in its swaying
branches and then emigrate, leaving the
branches denuded. But this little crop
of fun. rum and puffs set out in rows like
asparagus about the court house door,
will bear in spite of unfavorable seasons.
Jere, do you tumble?
Again Jere lias the underhold on tlio
average editor in tlio fact that he boards
with his father. This living with one’s
father is a racket that every editor
should play for all it is
worth. It is a blessing that
may fade at any moment. “ Blessings
brighten as they fade.” But Jere, now
that you have managed to begin living
with your father, just resolve in the su
premacy of your manhood never to re
turn to the beggarly elements of tlio
world and its $30 a month for board. If
you should need any help; if you should
require somebody to assist you to live
with your father, Jere, just drop us a
postal. Although a stranger to you we
can furnish certificates stating in unqual
ified terms that we understand the busi
ness thoroughly in all its brandies. It
would be nothing new to us, and we
might be able to give you some
points in spite of your long experience.
When it comes to living with a father,
Jere, we acknowledge no superior, hav
ing followed the business with much en
thusiasm for a number of years. You
see, n man must get up enthusiasm in a
business in order to succeed.
Jere is bound to make a success of the
Democrat, being so situated as to defy
competition. We Hail his re-advent into
journalism witli a shout of welcome,
which will lie delivered on application
by the authorized parties.
The Dadeville Democrat is ever
welcome to our sanctum, and
since getting this charming insight of
the editor’s private life through his own
pen, the paper will be more attractive to
us than ever.
We are betting on Jere and he is bet
ting on his father. If the old man can
just hold up now, we’ve got a dead sure
thing of it. Brace him, Jere, brace him;
mid drop us the postal before the cold
weather sets in. A iter receiving the pos
tal, it can lie said of the entire Dennis
family that we are
“Tiimit Eiiined.”
Mr. Powdbiu.v “recognizes no dis
tinction of creed, nationality or color.”
Is lie color-blind? Does he repudiate
the old adage that a man is to be judged
by the company lie keeps?
When a man undertakes to make alike
that which the Creator Inis made unlike,
then ho is but seeking to remodel the
works of nature and nature’s God. This
world is better to live on as it is than it
would lie if all the trees were ofthesame
size and height, all the races of men
alike, all the dog- of the same species
and all the women made after one pat
tern. Tlie Creator knew what lie was
about when he introduced variety into
this world.
No i'.uitv can long maintain itself on a
basis of gaugers, tide-waiters, postmas
ters and other olliciaD. The democratic
party lost tlie presidency while in con
trol of all tHe ollices and regained it
while destitute of any. The republicans
came into power in spite of the bread
and butter brigade, and went, out not
withstanding the frantic efforts of the
same force organized on their side. To
live and rule a party needs principles
and the honesty of them, and a policy,
with tlie ability to give it effect.
A l Aiu.M dispatch brings the news of
the execution by guillotine in the city
of Paris on tlie 1th inst. of 200 criminals
who employed the last moments of their
lives in blaspheming the president of
the republic.
Town elections in Connecticut show in
many cases large gains for tlie demo
crats, th* republicans losing their hold
