DAILY TRIBUNE. ROME, GA.. JULY 15,1880. Consolidated with the Dalton Kn. trpriuc, Oct ober 20th, 187 H. a’ j:. hanbury, > f RANK J.COHEN.I Kditors. For president, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, WILLIAM H. ENGLISH. Announcements. WE are authorized to announce John W. Renfroe an a candidate for re-election as State Treasurer. The departments are discharging all Democrats anil all known Hancock Republicans. Washington is to have a new pa per, to be called the National Demo crat/which will support Hancock and English. The health of Memphis is reported as being unusually good, and its citi zens entertain no fear of yellow fever epidemic this summer. St. Louis’ kindergarten record for last year shows 53 schools, 4,(XX) pu pils, 130 paid teachers, 65 volunteer as sistants, and $20,000 cost. Judge Underwood is "totting his own skillet’’ as a candidate for Attor ney-general with every prospect of a nomination and election. The Camphellites in the United States number 828,000, including General Garfield and a number of Senators and Representatives. In the Furness and Cumberland iron districts of england the price of metal has declined one hundred per. cent in three months. As a necessary consequence the wages of labor have been reduced twenty per cent. But happily, the workmen comprehended the situation and make no complaint. Major-General A. L. Pearson,the Pennsylvania member of the national committee of “Union Veterans.” a Re publican organization, and chairman of the the city Republican executive committee of Pittsburgh,has resigned from both these places, and declares his intention to vote and work for Hancock. An exchange asks: "If Ac 1 lonor able Attorney Ely is so able and has been so successful in the railroad tax easCj, what was the use in the Gover- Toombs? This is the first instance where all the credit of success was ever given to General Toombs’ asso ciate counsel.” A The New York Tribune says that the visitor to the Central Park may sec nowadays a sight usually reserved for November. Along (lie shaded paths workmen are everywhere rakiiig up the fallen leaves with which the ground is covered, as in autumn. Those, and the withered look of many of the treetops, bear pitiful testimony of the severity of the drouth and of our late raging dog-star. Ex-Governor Hubbard, ot Con necticut, in responding to an invita tion to address a Hancock and Eng lish ratification meeting at New Ha ven, writes : “Our ticket is the wisest and best. It represents no soreheads, no sections, no factions, no fractions. It is not at discord with itself; the head is not boiled crow for the tail, nor the tail boiled crow for the head, and no machine politics in cither end.” ■■' ■ - A distinguished writer gives the following as the prime cause of the present stringent times: “These are hard times. I'll tell you why : The nation is spending more for intoxica ting drinks than all the bread it eats, all the clothes it wears, all the books it reads, or all the churches it has ever built. If every one of the drinking sa loons were shut up and every bottle smashed forever, we should have good and happy times in thirty days.” The workingmen of California,have done two wise things—they have de posed Kearney and endorsed Han cock. This will place the Golden State in the Democratic line. There are only 68.000 Republicans in Cali fornia while there arc 48,000 Democrat and 44,000 workingmen. Giving the Democrats and workingmen combin ed a majority in the State of 24,000. Hayes carried the State in 1876 by 28,000 majority. The Democrats can afford to lose the Pacific States, but they do not want to do it. The Republicans are now strongly upon the defensive which means de feat: Gov. Long of Massachusetts in a late speech, in order to save his own candidate from attack, de nounced attacks upon the fair fame of Hancock. He said : “Palsied be the hand that from any J-earded quiver would seek some *‘ken and crumbling arrow with ' i *‘h to try to wound him; as palsied •dso 1., fLjj hand that would tear one leaf froA t) lc laurels of that gallant soldier is his competitor.” The Atlanta Post offers the follow ingsuggestions : “Ist. We think that the Democratic State Convention should adhere inflexibly to the two thirds rule, which has so often united the party or saved it from defeat. Let the prevailing sentiment be that the delegates must act in (he interest of the State and the party, not in the in terest of any particular candidates. It would be folly to wreck the ship for the personal gratification of any Jonah who may be on board. Let the aim of the people ami their delegates be to present a State ticket which will compose rather than aggravate these differences and which will preserve untarnished the principles upon which alone the party can reasonably hope to maintain its ascendancy. To do this, the two-thirds rule Will be found an essential if not an indispensable means. 2d. Itought to be known in advance of any nomination (hat. the several candidates intend to abide by and support it. Party discipline amounts to nothing if it does not require this. It would be a mockery to permit a candidate to take his chance for a nomination by a Democratic Conven tion, if he harbored the design of seeking other alliances and opposing the nominee if any other than him self. To whatever extent a nomina tion may bind a voter of the party, it ought certainly to be an established rule that a candidate who seeks the nm 'cation of the party will himself bo bound by the rction of the body from which he seeks it. The insanity dodge is often resorted to as the last experiment to extricate desperate criminals, and it seems the Republicans propose profiting by this example. Garfield’s perjury and cor ruptions are so flagrant that the pro pose extricating him at the expense of his intelligence. They have not yet called in experts to prove their candi date for President insane, but they arc trying to demonstrate that he is not a knave, but a poor credulous, innocent fool, so pure and confiding that he was circumvented by the artful villains Oakes Ames and DeGoJyer. Never be fore in the politics of America did a party attempt to proveits candidate a fool with the view of palliating his crimes. The people of the United States will not be gulled by such stuff. They will never elect to the Presidency a man who, if his friends are to be be lieved, is a simple-hearted ninny, like ly to !• imposed on by designing viU Hans. They do not want in a high and responsible position a map who is and liable to be seduced into crime by the wiles of the DcGolycrs and thfl ever ready to secure office and fat jobs by bribing the President or employing him as an attorney, for if a member of Congress can sell his influence a President should have the same right. The Augusta Chronicle and Consti tutionalist prints a very readable edi torial under the heaving of “The Mod ern Hammocks,” which is good read ing this hot weather. If all the news papers would print just such articles they would do good, for according to the intimation contained in the above mentioned article, if in love, such youth and his sweetheart would try the hammock together this hot weath er they could twist into quick and in numerable positions; and should the rope happen to break or the staple pull out, they would quickly be made one, for all practical purposes, and both would at once ascertain the tem per of the other, as well as whether one or both used “cuss words” under unusual circumstances. Young men should buy a hammock by all means. This is the season and now is your op portunity to demonstrate its ability. “Love in a hammock is a pretty thing, As sweet unto a peasant as a King.” Gen. Hancock has received nearly five thousand letters and telegrams since his nomination. The pub lishes, to-day, a card from Gen. Han cock, as follows: Governor’s Island, New York Harbor, July 6, 1880.—To whom it may concern : lam late in respond ing to the kind notes and telegrams. My correspondence, personal and offi cial, at all times being heavy, has been immensely increased lately. lam not able at present to respond promptly and fully to oil of the welcome greet ings extended tome. I hope unavoid able delay will not be mistaken for in difference or neglect. The truth is 1 have not heretofore realized how many there are in the laud who feel kindly toward me personally, and who es pouse the cause in which I have boon so conspicuously honorci]. In delay ing my acknowledgments I beg the forbearance of my friends, and of my most intimate friends I vent (ire to ask the most in this regard. Thanking you most heartily few your congratu lations and for your kind letters, I am truly your friend, Winfield S. Hancock. A telegram from Washington says that it is understood among the per sonal friends of General Hancock that he will, prior to the publication of his letter of acceptance, tender his resig nation to the President as a Major- General in the United States army. SOUTHERN NEWS. Atlanta has 125 lawyers. The census population of Savan nah is 30,747. Cobb county' gives a large majority against a fence law. lion. At 11. Stephens says Hancock is certain to'be elected. TliC'Sibley mills’ stock subscription now amounts to $550,000. Murray' County has a population of 8,300, an increase of 1,918 since the census of 1870. The census man gites Columbus only 11,000 population, and she is greatly dissatisfied thereat. Macon has twenty-seven churches, and more than $600,000 worth ofprop erty not subject to taxation. Besides'a sprinkling of white caji didateslLeh county possesses fivO dar kies who aye aspirants for legislative honors. Gen. Toombs mid wife are at Clarks ville, where they will spend the sum mer, and Gen. Lawton and family' are at Mt. Airy'. , A negro woman has been found in Sumpter county' who doesn't know her age, but thinks she is about one hundred and forty'. Mr. IV. P. McClatchey, of Marietta, has announced himself in the Atlanta Constitution for Comptroller-General, subject to the Democratic nomination. The Macon Herald is decidedly’ of the opinion that Col. Cash, who shot aim killed Col. Slrannon in a duel re cently in South Carolina, should be promptly hung. The Bainbridge Democrat predicts that Gen. Hancock will be elected President for two terms, and his sec ond administration will be more ]>op ular than his first. The Dalton Citizen claims that it i, shown by' the census returns that Dal ton is the largest town on the State road, having ”(X) more population than any other place on the line. A colored preacher of Cbbb county has a novel way of collecting his sala ry'. When his members haven’t the "spondulix,” he puts them to work on his farm until they work out their as sessments. Hon. A. 11. Stephens spoke in Au gusta Thursday to a very large audi ence. He believes that Hancock and English will certainly bo elected, and the Democracy will win a great vic tory if it makes no thunder. State Treatnrcr, Editors Tribune :—We sec in the At lanta Constitution of the 9th i nst.. that the article which appeared in the Church and School was placed there by mistake. If our friend of the Courier had known this he would doubtless have withheld his lecture on the duties religious journals. Again there are some other statements in the editorial of the Courier in reference to Hon, John W.ftenfroo tendered his resignation is incorrect. Col. Renfroe had the power to tender his resigna tion to the Govmmor.z the y nowcr he dciThied to do, but placed his resig nation in the hands of the Legislature, ' and put the onus of tendering to the Governor on tli*n. It would seem they did not thiinc it to the best inter est ot the State, for him to resign and returned the resignation to Co’. Ren froe. As to the vote, seventeen was the lowest on one specification, whilst he received twenty-seven on one and thirty-five on another. There were very few, if any, of the members of of the Senate who thought Colonel Renfroe was guilty of any intentional wrong but believed there was a technical violation of the law. If a scrutinizing test should be put to the official acts of the highest and humblest officers of our State, we should find very few of them able to escape a technical violation of the law. If there was no intentional wrong on the part of our worthy’ and efficient Treasurer, and as evidence of the fact, there was not, twelve months before the investigating committee was appointed, he stopped receiving any interest on deposits although he had the precedent of years to sustain him. Not only this, he offered to re turn the interest received, to the State, or hold it subject to their order or do anything that, was reasonable and fair. Col. Renfro having failed in this regard, could do nothing but de fend his fair name and character, and who can now blame him for appealing to the people for vindication. Some say, but then the fact that, he went through an impeachment trial ren ders him unpopular, and some Demo crats wont vote for him. Did not the House of Representatives of the United States prefer aetieles of im peachment against Andrew Johnson, President, and came in one vote of im peaching him in the Senate. And did not the State of Tennessee return him afterwards’ to the United States Senate? Who believes that Andrew Johnson had committed any intentional violation of the law? If the preferment of charges against a party disqualified him from holding office, how easy it would bo to pul a man on the shelf no matter how true and honorable he may b.e. It frequent ly happens that good and true men are put to the severest trials. Col. Renfroe has made one of the best treasurers the State has ever had, and will, if elected, continue to serve the State with fidelity and save the State, as he has done in the past thousands of dollars. The -ecuritias on Col. Renfroe’s bond have never wavered, and in the Mid dle and Lower part of the State, where Col. Renfroe is best known, his old friends believe him incapable of doing a wrong act and are standing by him and are determined to see that justice is done him. He is a life long Democrat and was one of the leading men who broke down the Radical party in South Georgia. lie was a gallant Confederate soldier, and now bears upon his body a severe wound received from the enemy while de fending bur Southern cause. We should be careful, as Democrats, how we thrust such men aside. Democrat. Miscellaneous Advertisements. P. L. TURNLEY, DRUGGIST, llonie, - - - Ga. * 0 Field, Farm and Garden Seeds Al ways on Hand.
