Thorn It no looter nny qneitloo of the fact that the now governor of Now York M n tnan of force and bonoety, and that he lo using with groat and wholesome effect the liberty which accrued to him from in election In which the Republican machine did not lay him under obligntlona. The individuality of Governor Hogboe and hit firm devotion to Idea* and Ideal*, wae llluetrated In a rather tmuiual way at tho rollicking dinner given teat week by *The Old Ames Comer” at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Rooaevolt, Hand man, McClellan and many other national figure* were hard bit by the fuamakere. but the eheer force of the governor'* pereon- ellty abeointely defeated the mote or teee alncjre "guying'' prepared for him, and turned the banquet into an enthusiastic deaonitraUon In bln honor. Before a mock Invaatigatioa committee of a mock etate legislature the toastmaster summoned Mr. Hughes. Many chargee had been drawn against him. and although all were wildly farcical, yet each concealed an Indirect chance for some of the Republican war horses to get even with the executive for bli dean anti-machine method* at Albany. Unexpect edly the governor galnad an opportunity to epeak In hi* own defense. "The people have done with the men who will use public office for their own benefit." ha anld, wtth the calm enroeetneas that marked Ms conduct of the lnsursnce Investigation. “I was not elected to pisy politics, sad I am not doing so. I was not elected to build op a machine, and i am not building one. I was not elected to set faction against faction, or to facilitate personal am- blUona. snd I am not doing so. I waa elected to transact the busi ness of the state in tbs way It nbonld be transacted, and that 1 am endeavoring to do, although no one knows hoar difficult It Is, or how far short I have fallen of the Ideal I have set for myself. That ended the jolting so far ns the governor of Now Tork was con cerned. it brought even the harassed gangsters to their feet waring their napkin* and chsering wildly. Earnsstness and sincerity bad again turned aside the difficult, Indirect attack, of ridicule. The Chicago Evening Post, commenting on tkn Incident, declares that Hughe* drove home the lesson that a man oaa succeed In American poli tics even without the aid of a yankee senna of htsmor. notice to subscribers — AND ADVERTISERS.

Thla argument and plea we have repeated from time to time. When tbe Atock and bonds ware subscribed and tba projsct seemed as sured, our esteemed contemporary of The Constitution lant itself to a rigorous advocacy of this asms proposition. And wltMn the weak, since tbe elty council pro rata has bean voted and tba lot baa bean chosen and n formal organisation bean perfected, our esteemed contemporary of Tbe Journal falls Into Une with a hearty editorial Indorsement of tbe same plan. In tbe usual order of things, journalistic and ancient, it would be rea sonable to suppose that the three newepaper* would begin new to wrangle over tbe queatlon of priority and eaob of them to claim the honor and dis tinction of baring first voiced tbe suggestion. no such thing. The holding of the national Democratic convention In Atlanta waa a perfectly natural suggestion growing out of the construction of a great auditorium. Anybody might hava«been likely to euggeat the same thing. It required no Ingenuity of municipal Intellect and no vast brain to bare promulgated the Idea. It dots not matter In the least who first suggested tbs plan. Tbe whole some and pleasing fact Is evident that tbe three newspaper* of Atlanta are a unit In It* advocacy and with tbla serried rank of journalistic In fluence to liegln wltb, Atlanta ought now to go out terlously and earnestly tu capture the convention. > ' 'With one of our fellow cltlxena on the national Democratic commit tee which decides thla Important matter—and another an kt-metnber of that committee-with the admirable prestige of Atlanta throughout the country; wltb tbe good will entertained by all sectlona without regard to politics to this city which baa been ao national In Its spirit, sympathy and hospitality*; with the enormous numerical claims wblch tbe South has upon tbe national Democratic party and with Atlanta freely recognised aa tbe real capital of politics, sentiment, and progress in the South, and finally with the proas and tbe public opinion of thla twentleth century city a unit In advocacy, there certainly ought to ba tbe odat reasonable and well founded hope of Capturing tbta greatest of ail conventions for this great and representative capital of tbe Bouth. wa *U|fn*t that Ihe-ritteeAe* hf T’nmnteroq at sn early data bold Bn initial meatlng to give primary shape to tbla plan.

It Is Impossible from a fraternal point of view not to eympatblxe with the sheer personal joy of tbe Columbia State In tbe abolition of tha state dispensary. In double leaded ecsteelea Tha State recounts tha fget and rejoices. In a brief but scathing summary In which tt gives the evils attendant up on tbe dlsitensary, Tbe 8tate adds thla paragraph: "And now, by the grace of God and the will of tbe people of South Carolina, It la dead—and dead beyond resurrection. Those that have fattened upon It financially, mid those that bare drawn (•olltlcal strength from Its scum, may hope against hope for a revi val. and may dream that next year the people will reverie them- selves. Indeed these may be now planning fbr another whisky campaign. But It Is the drowning politician grasping at straws. The people have placed tbe Irrevocable seal or repudiation on the syetem." It only remain! now to ask what South Carolina Is going to do without the dispensary? Will the state Jump from dispensary liquor to the open saloon? Will tbe prohibition forces rally for a state campaign or will tbe dispensary rally for anothar trial at the next election under n promise of reform In the methods of Ita conduct? Tha Georgia advocates of the dispensary have given e much better ac count of themselves at Rome and at Athens than haa the eyetem In South Carolina, and tt ts perhaps true thatrlf tha dlapenaary had worked In the Palmetto State ae honestly as It has been admlnletered In theee two no table counties In Georgia, Senator Tillman might bave recorded a dif ferent remit In the last stile election In South Caroline.
