The Albany Tri-Weekly News.
The proprietor!. of Hie Ai.tiaxy
-j,w* have hocn persistently urgfil
for tin)*’, l>y many of their
friend. ami iiatrons to present a daily
edition of the paper. The hours for
the departure of Ihc da'ily mails from
Albany are siirh that we conhl not
hope to compete with the larger
dailies in furnishing latest telegraph
| c reports to the Southwest Georgia
towns; ami Albany is not snffieienlly
populated to sustain an enterprise of
the kind. The associated press dis
patches, which constitute the princi
pal feature of a daily newspaper,
could not lie obtained by us for a
.-ash outlay of less than about thirty-
live dollars per week. These facts,
therefore, explain to our readers the
impracticability of our now engag
ing in such an enterprise.
We are determined to keep the
News fairly up with the progress of
the day, to furnish the reading |h*o-
plc of this section a live, progressive
tri-weekly joun.al; and, therefore,
aiiuounoe that with this issue we be
gin the publication of
VHK al.lt.»xv TKI-WKKKt.Y SEWS.
The fierce political campaign through
wiiicit we are to pass, both National
ami State, will be one of intustial in
terest to all classes; and a weekly
newspaper will 1* an insufficient con
veyance to carry (<■ the people intelli
gence ol the momentous issues in
volved. The Tbi-WkeKLY will be a
sewn column pajx'i—just one column
less than this issue—sufficiently large
to present all facts, ami a careful re
sume of the news of the day.
We shall at once make arrange
ments by which we shall be enabled
to present to our readers special tel
egraphic report.- of the more impor
tant matters at the capital ami else
where, and arc determined that each
Ksue shall lie fresh and newsy.
The subscription price of the Tei-
VTf.kkly News is $1 for the cam
paign. Its continuance alter the ex
piration of that time will depend
upon the encouragement we receive
for the enterprise. Uncxpired sub.
scriptions to tlic Weekly will be fur
nished the Thursday's edition of the
Tbi-Weekly. Advertisements will
be inserted at an advance of only fif
tv per cent over our weekly rates.
With a .firm reliance iu the enter
prise and liberality of the people of
Albany and Southwest Georgia, and
re-affirming our purpose to serve
their best interests, we hereby cut
loose from the Weekly* woo rings
and announce The Albany Tnt
Weekly News ready for business.

According to appointment his 1 £x*
in Henry Governor Colquitt add re- sed
the citizens ot Dougherty ami stnr-
rounding counties at Alhnny on ! Sat
urday last. Seldom have we <ivor
seen such a large ami enlhusi-tstic
gathering in this city, as that wjiich
greeted Ihc <qicnkcr; and the mrtrked
attention and showers of applause
with which his address was required
evidenced the fact that lie was among
hi< friends.
Wc shall not go into a review of
lie address. We publish, it in this
issue, and only ask that it lie read by
the people, whose voices arc lo render
a verdict; for wc bilievo that all
reasonable, fair-minded, ini|iartial
nun will accord lo the speaker full
justice.
While defending his administra
tion. which Governor Colquitt did as
fully and ably as time would admit,
or reason ask, he very properly re
fers lo the personal attacks which
have been made upon his honor as a
man hy tlTnsc whose healed passions
so early prejudged his motives. This
delciise we sav is eminently projier.
No man living, no matter how lofty
may lie his true position, can lie rea
sonably expeclod to stand idly by
ami sutler unjust accusation. No
Governor or other officer should fail
to render an account of his steward
ship, when corruption is charged be
fore bis people.

I convincing arguments that tlicir

warfare in n manner which lias a
meaning and cannot fail to lie under

So complete is the vindication that
the friends of the Governor need
onlv ask that the address he taken lo
ed, that the opposer» of Governor
Colquitt use against him. But, in
the homes and tire-sides ol the men : truth, they are no arguments at all.

wiring you that resolutions against
Gov. Colquitt could have been passed
at the meeting. I carefully canvassed
the. convention, and am sure that the
anti-Colquitt men were in the decid

that the meeting was for Tilden.
