TUB PINKERTONS.
TNI
The Hkrai.p Is no advocate of law
lessness, nor would It advise violence
under any oireumstances where the
protection of the laws of the land had
a reasonable chance of enforcement;
but we do not pretend to disguise nor
apologise for the fact that we are In
favor of a war of extermination on the
army of hired spies and eoeroionlsts,
by force of arms, known as the Pinker
ton detectives.
The Pinkertons must go.. They are
getting to be a menace to American
citizenship and the inalienable rights
and liberties that are guaranteed by
our constitution and by the statutes of
the States to every American citizen
They have become an Instrument of
foroe In the hands of tariff-protected
monopolies against the common peo
ple. Without warrant and in utter
disregard of the due process of law,
they are marshalled in large forces to
coerce and oppress the laboring class
wherever the latter attempts to assert
its rights against organized capital
and the grinding monopolies that are
allowed to exist and nourish under the
administration of the Republican
party.
The recent troubles at Homestead,
Pa., allow that the free people of
America have stood the Interference
and Intimidation of Pinkerton’s law
less army as long as they intend to.
The resistance of the oppressed labor
ers was determined and bloody, hut It
was just and righteous, and it is to be
hoped that the result, will be n whole
some lesson to Pinkerton and his
army of armed bullies, liitlinidatlonlsts
and murderera.
Pinkerton’s army of detectives out
numbers the standing nrmy of the
United States, nnd Is a private enter
prise without tho authority of law.
And yet they do things that the com
missioned officers of the States dare
not do. They know no law, and do
their work by force nnd In utter dis
regard of legal process.
The Pinkertons have had but little
oocaslon to Invade Georgia ns yet, for
we linvo had no labor troubles of any
consequence In this State; but when
ever they do come, If they ever do, we
want to seo tho people of the State rise
III their majesty nnd exterminate them.
STATE 1'OI.ITIl*.
In one way or another Congress will
he compelled to take n vote on froe
coinage. If lint directly on the bill
itself, the question will he one of post
ponement, and a majority In favor of
this will show a majority against the

Thk bills of the Chicago surgeons

1’nk peoullarltes of Mr. I.eonldas F.

which he has introduced in the House.
This bill contemplates a revolution In
the present system of tnxntlon, the
abolition of the tariff and revenue
laws, banks nnd the public debt, and
the distribution of plenty of money to
everybody. Its feat urea and the word
ing of them Indicate craziness to say
the least. Gradually Mr. Livingston
ia being shown up to his constituents
in his true colors, and it is altogether
probable that he will not succeed him-
aelf in Congress,
Candidate Stkvkxn and his friends
are olaiinlng that he hns already car
ried the counties of Terrell, Quitman,
Thomas, Randolph, IVorth, Clay and
Early, and tbat one more oounty will
nsure his. nomination by the Demo-
sratio convention wliioli meets in Al
bany on the 17tli of August. He will
sot have more than half of these coun
ties, however, when the returns are all
in, and the leveling process to whiob
delegates will be subjected has takeu
place in the .convention. The Hkhald
haa the assuranoe of Democrats in the
counties of Raudolph, Clay and Early
that the loyal party men of these coun
ties will hold conventions on the 30th
•f July, ip accordance.with the recom
mendation of the District Exeoutive
Committee, and eleot delegates wbq
will not be Stevens men. If this is
.done Mr. Stevens will stand in need of
more than one more oounty to assure
his nomination.

The Third Party is shout to kill the
Farmers’ Alliance in Georgia.
This Is especially true in the Scound
Congressional district
Alliancemen who are Democrats—
Simon-pure Democrats of the old
school—are becoming disgusted with
so much Ocalaism and St. Loulslam,and
are no longer In aocord with those who
are making undemocratic demands In
the name of the Alliance.
Alliancemen who are Democrats In
prinoiple and are not going to be led
astray oy the sophistries of new party
platforms, have already seen that the
organization of the Dlstriot Alliance
political machine for the purpose of
forestalling the action of the duly or
ganized Democraoy of this district and
controlling the politics of the district
was a great mistake.
The ultra and cranky Alliancemen
are fast drifting Into the Third Party,
and the conaervstive and more Intelli
gent farmers of the district are not go
ing to follow them. Whenever nnd
wherever the line of distinction Is
dearly drawn between the Democratic
or white man's party In this part of
the moral vineyard nnd any other
party, the better and more intelligent
class of the farmers are going to be
found on the Democrats side of the
fence.
It must be so nnd will be ao as long
as the Republican party lives and con
tinues to hate the people of the South
and oppress their Institutions.
M
> DEMOCRATIC! SIICCBSS.
Everything considered, there can be
no doubt now of Democratic suecess
in the coming November elections.
New York State is the lighting
ground, and there the indications for
the success of the party were never
better. Tammany will support Cleve
land to a man, this organization hav
ing laid aside all political differences
and announced their Intention of re
maining true to the Democracy. Add
to that the masses of Hebrews in New
York Olty numbering 230,000, all of
whom are strong Cleveland Democrats,
as there is at once a following which
will be hard to down.
More potent than nil other factors
in upsetting the “grand old party," is
the reoent labor riot In Pennsylvania,
which showed up McKinleyism in its
true aolors, and which clearly demon
strated that protection could only pro
tect the millionaire, while it left the
laborer defenseless. Throughout the
entire country this occurrence will
have its effect, nnd Hint it will be
strongly In favor of the Democratic
party, there is not the shadow of a
doubt.
All these facts considered, Is there
any reuson whatever why the Demo
crats should not have things nil their
uwn way in November?
POLITICAL PUFFS.
The campaigns In the different Con
gressional districts are getting into
good shape now, and nearly all the
Congressional timber of the State is
being hewn Into tho proper form.
Possibly all but three of the present
representatives will be returned, the
two Third Party Congressmen and
would be-Demoorat Livingston.
Until the Alliance or the greater
part of it degenerated Into the Third
Party, the people, realizing that the
farmors needed some means of relief,
encouraged them in the election of a
representative here and there, who
might properly present their woes be
fore the people. Now that Third
Partyism is running rampant through
the land, with Us visionary schemes
and elastic promises, the Democrats of
the State have realized the truth of the
old adage, "give thorn an Inch and
they'll take an ell."
But the truth is, they’ve got about
all they’re going to get. The Demo
crats of the State realize that the seri
ous problems before the country hnve
got to bo settled,and they know thclr’s
is the only party which can properly
hnndlu them. Thus it Is that in Geor
gia's next quota of Congressmen,
Third Partyism and Livingstonism
must give way to true Democracy.
The Second will do her duty by
electing an uutrlght, dyed-in-the-wool
Democrat for this responsible posi
tion. So will Georgia’s other distrlots,
and the result will be that the grand
old Empire State of the South will be
represented In the Fifty-third Con
gress by eleven true and loyal Demo
crats instead of seven, together with a
couple of Third Partyites,and a Leon
idas F. Livingston.

Tiikrk begins to be serious doubt

A Calhoun county Democrat sends
this note to the Hkrald :
Will you please ascertain of “Cousin
Tobe” why it is that he is inakingsuoh
opposition to the Democratic primaries
on the 80th of July, and does not op
pose the district convention call for
the 17th of August? If I do not mis
take they were both called by the same
Demooratio Exeoutive Committee. I
oannot understand why he does not
ignore the 17th as well as the 80th
Please give him this to answer.
Pkksidknt Harrison could not do
such a thing without, offending the
tariff-protected monopolies of the
country, but if we had a Demooratio
President now it would be timely and
fitting for him to issue a proclamation
denouncing Pinkerton’s army as a
lawless organization dangerous to the
peaoe and good order of the American
people, and oontrary to all the boasted
institutions of American liberty. A
proclamation of this sort, having for
Its purpose the disbandment of Pink
erton** gang of plunderers and mur
derers, would be a big card for the
President of the United States to play
just at this time; but the President oi
the Republican party dare hot play It.
Bkn Russell's campaign is looming

with his national campaign commit,
tee. Yesterday he.tried to get Senator

rel, and politely deolined.
Thk Republicans admit that the
party’s prospects for success have been
seriously damaged by the Homestead
riot. Now that MoKinleyism has been
shown up in its true colors, and the
people understand what the force bill
means, there Is not the least doubt- of
Demooratio success.
Hox. Ckaklks F. Crisp was unani

dorsing the Chicago platform, Cleve
land and Stepvnson, the convention
unanimously adopted a resolution re

Fi'nni tlioujjjmu News ruul Him.
Hon. W. E. Wooten, of Albany, and
Captain of the Albnny Guards, who
were in camp here tin* first week, has
been selected by the Democracy of
Dougherty to represent the Albany
district In theSennte of Georgia. It is
Dougherty’s time to hnve the Senator
nnd Capt. Wooten is the choice. Cnpt.
Woolen was nil able, popular and
fnlthful member of the last House, and
we are confident that he will make nil
excellent Senator, lie Is only about
I wenty-Hve years old. The Democracy
of Dougherty county also showed its
wisdom In nominating Mr. E. Jt. Jones
for Representative. Mr. Junes is one
of the ablest and most successful law
yers of Albnny. He Is a gentleman of
splendid character and very genlnl
manners. If all the counties of Geor
gia do ns well ns Dougherty, I he next
Legislature will be one of the finest
thnt ever assembled In Georgia.
Itis said that Taliaferro bounty,cons
sidered heretofore as one of the strong
holds of Third Partyism, will go Dem

Editor Trox Bankston, of Dalton,
wanted to be State Senator from the
Forty-fourth. But the convention of
that district ; did not appreciate his
ambition In that direction, and nomi
nated Col. A. T. Ilackett.
A communication to the Constitu
tion seems to indicate that one county
in the Fifth, at least, Is neither In fa
vor of Livingston or Hlllyer for Con
gress. They oppose Judge Hlllyer on
the ground tlint he is a member of the
Atlanta bar, and Livingston on gen
eral principles. Doubtless the Judge
will overcome all this prejudiced op
position by making one of his char
acteristic and convincing speeches.
There nre to be several Democratic
rallies around in the Second during
this week, nnd one especially to be
noted is the Alliance assemblage at
Acree next Saturday, the 16th. Here
is n chance fur some good Democratic
work, and a few hard licks, properly
directed, will have a telling effect.
Ben Russell will be on hand nt all of

The Savannah News states that the

all arrangements is a small guarantee
on the part of the railroad compa
nies to supply » certain amount oL

ly get the freight through their travel

This is a movement in the right
line, and the people of Georgia should
be glad to see it. It will be of much
interest to Albany also, as large quan
tities of the freight from the Southern
states west of us will pass through Al
bany, going by the shortest route to
Savannah;
Savannah is fast beooining a leading,

Cleveland hns written n letter to

It will not do to tamper with organ
ized labor. At Homestead a small
array of them have determined that no
other forces shall take possession of
the works, and they will carry out the
determination at the cost of life itself.
Both Democrats and Republicans
nre down on the Pinkertons. Those
concerned in the Homestead riot are
to be tried for murder, as they brought
on the difficulty entirely without legal
authority. It is safe to say that the
government will not sanction the ex
istence of this hated agency of thugs
much longer.
Ip “Simon-Pure Democrat,” who

At Tammany’s Fourth of July cele
bration, Grover Cleveland was cheered

good indication, and with others of a

The Pennsylvania State militia,
8,000 strong, lias been ordered out for

union laborers nre sent in under pro
tection of this small nrmy. Develop

ol' interest.
Tiik Democratic party is the only
party that ever has or ever will do the
country nuy good, and it is not a mis
nomer by any means to call it the
People’s Party. All that is necessary
for its success now is harmony in its
ranks. The people must realize that
it is their party, and that its only ob
ject is the pure and honest government
of tbe people, for the people, by the
people.
The talk about the following of the
Third Party throwing the election
Into the House of Representatives is
nil bosh. The scattered condition of
the few ragged remnants of Third
Partyism precludes the possibility of
their carrying many counties, and, ns
to their carrying a single State, that is
entirely out of the question. 'They
might, perhaps, meet with suecess in
a few extremely local elections. Fur
ther than this their Utopian promises,
gilded ns they are, will affeot no rea
soning man. It is safe to say that the
Democratic party will roll up in No
vember with many votes In excess of
the 223 required for election.
The Hkrai.p gets letters every day
from different parts of the Second
Congressional district. They are let
ters of advice and encouragement from
Simon-pure and unadulterated Demo
crats who are in sympathy with us in
the straightout fight that we are mak
ing against the Alliance political ma
chine that is trying to forestall and
supercede the Democratic party or
ganization of the district. lVo have
very encouraging letters from Cal
houn, Randolph, Mitchell, Early and
Clay, and If the loyal Democrats of
these counties don’t elect delegates on
the 30th of this month who will come
to the dlstriot' convention on the 17th
of August determined to stand by the
old Demooratio ship, then we will be
very muoh disappointed. The situa
tion, from a purely Democratic stand
point, is growing brighter every day.
I
TUB THIRD PARTY IN
STATE.
THE
The State convention of the Third
Party meets in Atlanta on July 20th.
On that occasion nominations will
be made for State officers, and by the
Baine one who helped to make the
nominations for their national repre
sentatives! ■
The only possibilities for gubernato
rial candidates are Col. Peek and C.
Ellington. The ohanoes are, perhaps^'
In favor of Ellington, as he has had
most of the members who will com
pose the convention under hfs oharge ;
for the past week, and has had the op
portunity to Instill a little Ellington
doctrine Into them.
Col. W. R. Gorman, of Talbot, it ia
said, will be nominated Secretary of .
State, and Mr. R. A. Kelly, of Maoon,
will be given the Treasurer’s place.
These are the most available n6mj-
nees just at present, and this seems tot
be the way the wind Is blowing.

Thk Albany Guards put up a pretty

noon. They went through the bayonet -
exercise and skirmish drill, and their JP
innneuvres were highly oomplimented
by those who witnessed them.
IIon Warner Hill, of MerrlwetherV
thinks he should succeed Col. Moses asf
Congressman from the Fourth district.
Mr. Hill, In a speech nt Talbotton yes
terday, stated his position and told
why he thought it necessary to make
a change.
A bthonu effort is being made otf
the part of some of the tenohera ns- 1
semblcd in convention in Atlanta to
get a non-partisan history t of the
country. A plan for the publication
of such a work has been outlined, and
now the question Is, who will write It?
To talk nbout such a work Is all right,
but it is not so easy a matter to get it
written. However, this is a move in
the right direction, and it is to be
hoped that the proper man can be
found to get up the work.
Democratic mass meetings are thet(
order of the day all over the State
now, and politics is all the go in every
district. The Second has her full
share, and is doing some good work
for the Democraoy. Besides the meet
ings mentioned in yesterday’s Her-;
ald, there are several others on the
docket. The Alliance proposes to hold
a barbecue at Acree next Saturday,
and the attendance of several promin
ent Democratic leaders of the county
may turn the meeting into a Demo
cratic rally.
Not until Wednesday, July 20, when
the Democratic National Committee
will meet in New York and organize
for the campaign, will the lines of at
tack upon the demoralized Republican
forces have been marked out. The
field Is so inviting and the vulnerable
polntB so numerous that it should be a
comparatively easy matter for an ex
pert campaigner to pnt the enemy to
rout. With the disaffection of Tam
many allayed, and with the establish
ment of substantial accord between
erstwhile contentious factions of the
Democracy all over the country, the
outlook for tbe election of Cleveland
and Stevenson can scarcely fail to ap.
pear roseate to the party leaders.
—The people of Georgia will regret

on Saturday. He will not be able to
return to Washington in'several days,
and itis also probable that he will be
unable to speak again for some time.
