In all probability, however, it will either be defeated or shelved on account of Cleveland's atti tude toward free sliver. 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 hllf. Thk bills of the Chicago surgeons who attended the ollloers wounded In the Haymnrket riot, Just six years ago, wore not paid by the city until n day or two ago, The amount paid was scarce worth the labor required to col lect it. ,Thk Southern Railway and Steam ship Association, and the Southern Passenger Association are about to go to pieces. Suoli news would bring joy to the people In the general reduction of freight and passenger rates, wliioli It would bring about. Pension Commissions!! Rwm Is get ting Into deep water—water which has something of a tendency to boll. A committee from the House hns Investi gated Ills corrupt methods thoroughly, and the result will bo that there will shortly be Introduced a resolution recommending his dismissal from sfllce. 1’nk peoullarltes of Mr. I.eonldas F. •vingston have at last come to the front prominently in the measure 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. THiaa^rABTV and LMAhek. TUB 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. A 4DIITION FOR CANDIDATE STEVENS TO ANSWER. Bismarck Is no longer considered n factor in German politics. Livinoston and Watson are about getting to the end of the same rope. Thk silver bill In the House will perhaps end In gigantio filibustering. Down with the Pinkertons! Tills Is not a country of anarchy and mob law. Mii.mons for protection, not one cent for the laborer, is Carnegie’s doc trine. Judok Cuise strongly advocates the passage of the free silver hill In the House. Thk Third Party seems to be play ing hnvuo with the Alliance in this district. Thk annual net proceeds from the Monte Carlo gaming tablep nre 25,01)0,' 000 franua. / Tiikrk begins to be serious doubt about Gladstone’s success In the cum ing elections. 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 up in great shape. Demooracy is sure to win in the Snaond. It is how thought that Oof. Puck will recover completely. Ills condi tion is daily improving. Camprkli. says business prevents his serving ns Chairman of the Republi can National committee. Sam Smai.i. is having a jolly good time with his little prohibition Con gressional Canvass In the fifth. It will take eighteen votes, or seven teen nnd a fraction, at least, to nomi nate the Democratic candidate in the Second Congressional district conven lion. Thk Columbus Enquirer-Sun, wliioli accused Senator Colquitt of being ah sent when the silver bill was pnssed, hns, at last, acknowledged Its careless error. Savannah Is to have a number of large iron storage tanks for spirits of turpentine. This will put this market in a position to control the price of this product for the entire world. Thk editorial columns of the Sa vannah Press are always bright and breezy! The faot Is that any pnper with Fleas. Stovall back of it is bound to be interesting as well as successful. Thk formal notification to Mr. Cleve. laud of his nomination as candidate of the Demooratio party for President on tho 20th Inst., promises to be a very formal and elaborate affair. Mr. Whit ney and Mayor Grant are in oharge of the arrangements. IIarkison seems to be in hard luok with his national campaign commit, tee. Yesterday he.tried to get Senator MoMlllau, a Michigan millionaire, to act as chairman. But MoMillan knew that this meant a large tap at his bar 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 mously nominated by acclamation to represent the Third Congressional Dlstriot in the Fifty-Third Congress,at a meeting of the district convention held yesterday at Cordele. After en-i dorsing the Chicago platform, Cleve land and Stepvnson, the convention unanimously adopted a resolution re questing Senator-Crisp to urge, the passage of the silver bill. No need for that, Georgians, That staunch Demd? crat has ever been arid always will be tme to the principles of Democracy.' A Youur Mime Mruittoi*. 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 ocratic by quite a large majority. 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 them ns usual, and will clearly enun ciate the Democratic doctrine. DIAtEuV TBAP« W«TM EUROPE Dlreot trade will? Europe by SavanJ nah fs already assured, arid it la only A question of a few weeks before the Bteamshlp company wiU.put on t a dl reot line of. steamers to one or more European ports. The Savannah News states that the only thing necessary now to complete all arrangements is a small guarantee on the part of the railroad compa nies to supply » certain amount oL freight, whloli risk they can reason^ ably afford to assume, ns they can easi ly get the freight through their travel ing agents. 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, port, and it should be the pride of the people of Georgia to see It the fore most port on the Atlantic coast. Henry M. Stanley will probably he defeated in his race for Parliament. Receiver (Jomkii Is hard at work trying to reorganize the Central sys tem. The Democratic party Is the only people’s party this country has ever seen. Even the Republican organs nre de nouncing Carnegie and: his bloody methods. It is slated oil good authority that Decatur county will ghe Russell 51)0 majority. There was-a delloij or $4,400,000 In Llie United States Treasury for the lust fiscal year. It is said that the Hebrews of New York, numbering 280,000i are nil Cleve land Democrats. Thk Georgia Editors have been roy ally received in Philadelphia. You can’t down the editors. The Kentucky Legislature has be fore it n bill to prevent the employ ment of Pinkertons in tlmt State. The Increasing circulation of the Herald during the last week Is very encouraging. Fellow-citizens, we thank you. The silver bill cannot be passed ns it Is without amendments. The Senate, It Is said, will not pass it as nmended. Verily, free silver is In danger. The proposed Court House improve ment is a two-sided question, and can dor compells us to say that the dollar- and-a-quartcr fellows have us on the hip. Thk Conservatives nre gaining ground in England, and thnt means that Gladstone's election is doubtful. This Is, perhaps, the grand old man’s last chance to engage In active politi cal life. It Is probable that all of Georgia's present Congressmen will be re elected, except one or two Third Party representatives Hen Russell Is whooping things up In the Second, and in tho Democratic rallies soon to be held many backslid ers will be brought into line. The people of Charleston do not like gingerenke. Especially distasteful Is that Crum of it. which President Har rlson lias located in the postolllce there. The great advertising scheme of all the metropolitan dailies seems tobe tjie offering of tickets to the World’s Fair next year. The feature is a novel one, and the contestants are numerous. Thiik Is quite a distinction now bc ; tween Democratic Alliancemen and Alliance Democrats throughout the Second Congressional district. In Dougherty county they are all Demo cratic Alliancciueu, Democracy coming first. Cleveland hns written n letter to the Indies of New York, refusing to allow Ills wife’s name to be used as the name of a women’s political organiza tion. Glover Is right. The nnme of the wife and mother is snored to the home circle. 1k the State University, as is pro posed, admits women into its depart ments, it will only be falling into line with the spirit of progress which lias ohnrncterized Northern institutions. 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 writes from Terrell county, in com- plairit against the editorial that ap peared in the Herald of Thursday on the “Situation in the Second Dlstriot,” will give us his real name and show himself to be a man responsible for his Utterances, we will publish hiscommu- nlcation. But the Hervld pays noat- tention to bucket letters anil anony-. moos communications. At Tammany’s Fourth of July cele bration, Grover Cleveland was cheered by tbe entire assemblage. This is a good indication, and with others of a Ilk" nature, goes to show that Tam many will be openly true to the Demo cratic party. The Pennsylvania State militia, 8,000 strong, lias been ordered out for the protection of the Carnegie steel works from any movement on the part of the laborers. The strikers nre very uneasy about the situation, nnd have not decided what do In case the non union laborers nre sent in under pro tection of this small nrmy. Develop ments nre awaited with a great deal 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. J J 4 Thk Fifty-second Congress will ad journ about the 1st ol August. The creeks and river' are rising a good deal, and getting very muddy. There has evidently been a good deal of rain above. Thk regularity with which the Cen tral train hns been arrivingfor so long, a has been broken, and now it hardly g ever gets in on time. Western advices state that the markets are somewhat weaker in that section. The tendency In wheat is decidedly bearish, and with very little prospectB for a rise. Thk Albany Guards put up a pretty drill on Broad street yesterday after 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 to learn that General Gordon is not ao weU as he was a month ago. His ap pearance Indicates a considerable de crease In strength since he left home. He returned from Washington a few days since, and spoke at Crawfordsville 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.
