REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

Union Rbpvblican Party or Ga., >
Augusta, Ga., July 14, 1888. J
AT THE REQUEST OF MEMBERS
of the Central Committee, I hereby call a
State Convention of the Republican party of
Georgia, to assemble in ATLANTA, on Tuesday,
the 18th day of August next, sot the purpose
of nominating Electors for Grant and Colfax.
The basis of representation will be the same as
in the lower house of the General Assembly.
Republicans are requested to hold meetings in
their respective Congressional Districts, and
nominate candidates for Congress.
FOSTER BLODGETT,

RALLY! RALLY!.'
Let Republicans everywhere remember
that, in addition to the State Republican
Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the
18th instant, there will lie a grand Mass
Meeting’ of the Republicans of Georgia.
In every county, from the mountains to the
gulf, delegations are getting ready to go.
Let all go. There is room for every one.
The Gate City is open to all. It will bp
made such a rallying time as has not been
known in Georgia for years. Eminent
speakers will be there from abroad to
address the meeting. In addition to the
other ceremonies, a flag will be presented
to the Club that produces the largest num
ber of members. Which will be the
“Banner” Club ? Let there be one tremcii
dous rally and blazing demonstration for
Grant and Colfax as the
of National Republicanism.
Important to Grant Club;.—All over
the country, and in many places in the
South, the loyal people of the land art
organizing for the Presidential campaign.
Each State, also, is engaged in its own
Gubernatorial or Congressional canvass.
Under the name of the gallant standard
bearer of the Union Republican partv, the
friends of peace, prosperity and free
government, are enrolling themselves in
" Grant Clubs,” for the methodical and
energetic promotion of his election.
It is unnecessary to our realtors to refer
to the vital character of the issues involved
in the contest, but we may urge upon all
the importance of putting forth every
effort in order to make sure of a complete
victory. Not the last or least important of
the means to bs employed for this pewpew
the circulation of ably edited, attractive
Republican papers. Each member of a
Grant Club should constitute one of a
committee of the whole to ascertain what
voters in their village or township are
without a good newspaper, and report the
same to headquarters. Every club should
raise a fund for supplying thia want. No
better use could be made of a little money
than in this way.

A WASHINGTON~OVTL()OK.
The democratic prospects nt tbe National
Capital arc far from encouraging, The
President is decidedly offish, and his .Cabinet
Ministers are mainly opposed to Seymour,
Consequently, official patronage is not di
rected in favor of the democratic party. The
fountain being thus adverse, the army of
office holders are indapsndent. Gon. Steed
man, who has been sent back to New Orleans
by the President to collect the revenue,
openly dmwunees Seymour, add says no
honorable soldier can support the democratic
ticket. Hon. L. D. Campbell is also disaf
fected, aud the llakcmCX circle-, while their
chief nominally acquiesces in the New York
nomination, are squirting cold water on the
ticket. Doolittle assures his friends llmt
the ticket “will grow,” and exhorts them not
to feel blue.
Meantime, the Riehmoud Examiner knocks
Senator Buckalew over the knuckles fur
saying that Frank Blair’s letter and the
democratic platform do not mean revolution.
If a forcible overturning wine feimtistiikteti
Stater,says the Eriuniner, is not ple lged,
the platform has no value for Southern dem
ocrats, and the Convention had Getter be
reassembled to call it in. .
Hampton and Hill struck the key-note of
the campaign in literally interpreting the
platform; and the Southern democrats pro.
pose to fight it out on that line. They won’t
keep their mouths shat. The New York
Convention promised the restoration Os the
“lost cause,” and for this Southern demo
crats are working, and for this they will vote,
in November. • *

ItegMiean Aid South-How to Obtain OJtce—
The Lateet Novelty—Mortality Among Chil

missioner of Internal Hrrenue- Affaire in New
Orleans —The Call for Troops.
Washington, August 10,18G8.
"0, wad the powers some giftio gie us
To see onrseivee as ithers see us.”
The longer we live the essential trut.li of
the above quotation becomes more and more
apparent. Take, for illustration, what is
transpiring daily in the present campaign.
A certain class of people in the South call
ing themselves Democrats have gone to work
with a zeal worthy a better cause to defeat
the •reconstruction measures of Congress ;
and this they propose to do by defeating.
Grant and Colfax. It is the way in which
these people go to work that illustrates the
text. First, the delegates to the New York
convention, blinded by partisan zeal or
something else,could not have better pleased
Republicans than nominating the men they
did. The snpporters of their candidates at
the South arc out Heroding Herod in their
zeal for tha cause, and have reduced the
contest to jast no contest at all. The North
ern Republicans are assiduously circulating
the editorials and speeches of Southern Dem
ocrats, and these alone will force every road
ing man who supported the government hi
the late war to vote for Grant.
From our standpoint, and as we see these
matters, Southern Democrats are doing all
the work necessary to make the Republican
cause a success beyond peradventure. On
the other baud, at the South, tha same Dem
ocrats not only refuse to copy political views
from Northern Republican papers, but
endeavor to crush out all who represent that
party in the South. They aie afraid to
present, the issues fairly before the people,
knowing very well that to do so their lion’s skin
would bo stripped off al once. Tliuy will not
come to their senses probably until after the
November election.
One of the New York papers publishes, us
news, the fact that the President soils offices.
This is Piper’s news. Every person familiar
with the mode of securing important Federal
offices know very well that it always has
required more or less money. The present
administration is not peculiar in this
respect, though it is said the prices are a
little higher than gsual, but that may
be on account of the depreciation of the
currency. First there is a friend of tire
President who has to be paid to secure the
appointments; next, the friends of Senators
have to be influenced to secure a confirma
tion. This accomplished, another friend of
the President has to be sought out to obtain
the commission. The lobby here has always
been all-powerful, and I presume it will be
so as long as human nature is human nature.
Men with characters so black that none of
their acquaintances will recommend them,
come here with money in their pockets and
secure lucrative offices, when poor men, with
good characters, and recommended ly all
their neighbors, go away empty-handed.
Polities, ns a trade, is truly’a dirty business,
almost aS mean as gathering news at the
South to telegraph, to-the Northern market.
The latest novelty in this city is travelling
barbers. They go about, the same as tinkers
and glaziers, from'house to house, seeking
employment. In some other countries, this
practice has been long iu vogue with the
tonsorial profession. It is a new thing in
this country, doubtless growing out of the
.“hard times.”
This is the most unhealthy season wo
have had in Washington for many yeata.
The mortality among children, particularly,
is something alarming, one coroner alone
burying six infants. The prevailing dis
eases are whooping cough and the usual
summer complaints—all unusually severe,
owing doubtless, to the peculiar weather
we have had. /I’he cold spring rains
lasted Tfsarly upto July, and then a hot
spell set in, lasting for two weeks, since
which time there has been another wet
spell.
One of the largest bridges in the world
is nearly-completed across the Susquehanna
river, at Columbia, Pennsylvania. It is
two hundred feet over a mile in length,
and is a complete structure.
The Democratic party received an un
expected acquisition in this city a few days
since. One Os the persuasion who had
partaken freely of benzine was passing
through the suburbs calling upon every otm
he met to cheer for Seymour nnd Blair,
Meeting a colored man, he says to him—
“ Three cheers for Seymour and Blair !”
To his astonishment, a sheep, tied near by
responded, “Bla-a !” The colored man
quietly remarked, “I guess they’s both
good Democrats.” The untarrified disciple
muzzled.
Attorney General Evarts has returned to
the city, wjiich accounts lor the hitch iu the
removal of Commissioner Rollins. It is
understood that he advises Mr. Johnson not
to insist upon pursuing the policy he had
marked out— to appoint n Commissioner ad
interim.
Colonel Dean, of Governor Warmouth's
staff, tells me that he had an interview with
the Secretary of War, Saturday evening, in
relation to sending more troops to Louisiana.
The Secretary expresses a desire to do qll
he can, constitutionally, but thinks the Con-?
Stitutiou only allows Federal interference in
case-of actual insurrection, but promises to
go distribute the troops there as to be pre
pared for any emergency. The question of
sending an additional force is still open, but
will be decided in a day or two. The secret
organization of rebels (K. W. C.) there is
really a formidable affair, and, in cnse of a
disturbance now, they could wipe ont every
Union man in New Orleans. The authorities
here have full information in regard to the
organization, ils numbers, object—lndeed,
grips, signs, etc. It will be looked after.
Capital.
Chief Justice Chase took occasion, in his
charge to the Grand Jury at Parkersburg, to
recognize the Fourteenth Amendment as
legally adopted, and as now a part of the
Constitution. The particular subject which
he made the occasion of this was that of the
revenue laws, in their relation-to the clause
of the Amendment which declares that the
validity as the national debt" shall not be.
questioned. He showed that the honest col
lection of the revenue is a duty enjoined by
this constitutional provision, so that th e
Government should be provided with means
to snstnin the public faith.
This amendment has uow been recognized
by the three branches of the Gorernmcnb
the legislative, executive and judicial, as a
part of the - Constitution. -And thus all
departments of the Government ar united
against the war declaration of the Demo
platform, which pronounces the recon
structed State governments usurpation, null
and void. All branches have recognized the
action of these States as valid in legislating
up >n tbe fundaaiental law. The Democratic
platform is, therefore, a declaration of war
against every branch of the National Gov
ernment, as well as against these State
governments. ♦

Tur. Colored People. —Many .appre
hend trouble with the colored people
daring the progress of the Presidential
cenvafe. It the mean white men in both
parties would let them alone, we shall fear
no evil Ajhatever from them. We think
the colored people, as a class, have too
much foresight and good sense to stir up
feuds the ■whites, and we trust they
may not forget that it is an imperative
duty resting upon them, as upon all good
citizens, to cultivate kindly relations to
every man, woman and child in the
country.
Each voter should resolve in his own
mind to conduct the canvass fairly, honor
ably, and kindly. This course will ward
off all Irnrd fedings, and demonstrate the
great hiet that we are a people capable of
self-gaveranjent. Let us have peace and
good will. , *
The .Democratic candidate for tbe Presi
dency asserts that the present Representa
tives from the reconstructed States have
“in truth no constituents.” This goes to the
full extent of the Wade Hampton plank
in the Tammany platform. That declared
the reconstruction acts “revolutionary, mi
constitutional and Void.” Seymouk denies
that negroes caw be a, constituency. He
does this in .spite of the Reconstruction laws,
ami of the Fourteenth Article in amendment
of the Constitution. He nnllifies the whole
with one stroke of his pen—so far as his
words can do it.
The Democuatu- Platform. —The New
York Erening Po t is a very able as well
as‘considerate journal. It does not deal in
the sensational, nor make points against
the opposition for mere partisan effect. Its
arguments and its reasonings are generally
sound ahd eminently judicious. It re
cently closed a very considerate and candid
article in tbe following words; referring
to the Democratic platform, it says :
It tar. £reat pity that nny party should
place itself upon such n platform. It would
be far better for the country had the Demo
cratic leaders taken the advice of the World
before the Convention, and accepted recon
struction as accomplished aud no longer an
open question. Then they could have
defined their political creed on other im
portant matters, within the Constitution.
But when a political party promises before
hand to violate the Constitution, and to set
at naught the very interpretation of the
Constitution given by its own leader in the
Supreme Court, and in the political text
books, all of its old adherents vsho are
guided by principle must full away from
it.'
Vallaxdigham reads the death warrant,
nr his own party in the following words :
‘•Depend upon it, no (tarty whose only
cementing element is a sympathy.qf hatred
can ever be permanent in power or even
in existence.”
