The lurid - buttle runic oil' in the holier

slightly disfigured, but our dispatches

villi'.
The secretary of the nutionul congress
ional campaign roinmittre believes that
such a fight will he made by the commit
tee ns to brini; out the full democratic
strength. This menus tliut the demoeruts
will succeed.
President Ci.kvei.and considered it of
fensive partisanship to pass the bride
elect’s baggage without inspection. Our
officials who are fretting themselves into
fever licnt over the election of their fa
vorites should make a note of the fact
tliut this oilicer wus bounced.
It is no purt of n federal officer’s duty
to champion the cundidacy of a congres
sional candidate, or any other candidate.
When a nomination is made it will then
be ample time for them to get in their
work. In the meantime there are Rome
otlicials in the fourth congressional dis-
triit who will act wisely if they take a
hint.
Tins federal oilicer who feels no inter
est. in the success of the democratic, party
ought to he hull need us having unworthi
ly received an appointment. He ought
to manifest that interest, hut not by lie
coming the personal partisan of a demo
cratic candidate for a nomination. Wo
are informed that such instances are to
be found in this district. If this he true,
it will he well for them to change their
tactics.
The great fire in Vancouver is said' to
have destroyed a million dollars’ worth
of property, on which there was onlyddO,-
000 worth of insurance. Hut Vancouver
was one of the mushroom towns of the
west, sooner or later swept, away by lire
and quickly replaced in more substantial
fashion. The settlers appear to he in no
wise disheartened and have already lie-
gun to rebuild. The loss will very likely
fall upon the Canadian Paeilie Railroad
Company, whose brushwood lires spread
to the town and brought about its de
struction.
IN IMt'ltOimtl.E STOItV.
We publish the telegram from the At
lanta Constitution in reference to the
Central railroad, not because we think
there is any foundation for the rumor,
but because we wisli to keep our readers
informed, not only of what is being done,
but also of what is being said, of interest
to them.

Then
we are not
able to
see why this

ns hardly like the proper place to get a .
suitable man to till such an olliee.
Neither do we see why l)r. West should j
trouble himself to elect inner for the place
when lie proposes to buy up a majority
of the stock. All be would have to do I
would be simply to vote for himself. The I
whole thing seems to us decidedly sensa
tional. Besides all this, there are actu
ally two different stories about it, both
equally improbable. :
(IKS. (iOllDOS TO Sl'ElK TO-SIGHT. j
General John 1!. Cordon, candidate for j
the gubernatorial nomination, will ad-
dress the people of Museogee county to
night. Arrangements have been made
tor the use of Springer opera house, and 1
the people are cordially invited to attend
the speaking.
It goes without the saying that General I
Gordon will speak to a large audience to
night, He is one of the most distin
guished of our southern statesmen, and |
is by no means a stranger in Columbus.
Those who are not in sympathy with his
candidacy accord to him the peculiar
faculty of entertaining an audience, and
"ill give him a respectful hearing while
be discusses the political questions now
Agitating the public mind.
It will be fortunate for General Gordon
and for the people of this community as
well, if his speech is tempered with that
conservatism and good feeling which
characterized the address of ids opponen
here on Tuesday night. On Wednesday
and yesterday the friends and supporter
of General Gordon spoke in most favor
able terms of the high character of Major
Bacon's speech and were particular!;
pleased with the conservative and
straightforward manner in which he dealt
with questions they were anxious to hem
discussed. 1 Ie enumerated what he pre
sumed were the important issues un>
then expressed bis views upon them, ip
noring nnyt Iving of a personal character
and declining to indulge in anything that
was calculated to cause bitterness or ill-
feeling.
Without assuming to so much as sug
gest what course General Gordon should
pursue, as lie is a gentleman of too mud
intelligence and of too broad views to
need anything of the kind at our hands,
we merely state facts and he can form j
his own conclusions. It is quite likely M
that lie is not aware that the intense feel- n
mg which exists in many other places as
to the two candidates has obtained no
foothold here, and that the peopled
Muscogee are disposed to view the whole
situation from an unprejudiced stand
point, and look only to the best interests
of the state at large. This finds illustra
tion in the fact that some of the most
earnest supporters of General < iordon are
those who were among his strongest op
ponents in past contests, and in the
further fact that both the friends of
Major Bacon and General Gordon discuss
the merits of the two candidates in a
dispassionate and logical way.
For these reasons it is conceded by all
that it is exceedingly fortunate that no
discord has been made here in the con
test, and that reason takes the place of
prejudice.
THE MASS MKKTIN0 SATURDAY.
The chairman of the democratic execu
tive committee of Muscogee county, act
ing under authority of the committee,
lias called a mass meeting of the demo
cratic voters of Muscogee to be held at
the court bouse Saturday. The object of
the meeting is explained in the call.
A <luy or so since the Enquikeu-Sun
made use of an expression calculated to
leave the impression that delegates to the
gubernatorial convention would lie se
lected Saturday. Whether or not this
•will lie the ease remains to be seen. The
purpose of tlie meeting is to
place the whole matter in the
hands of the ' people, where it
very properly belongs. On that occasion
it will he left with them to say whether
delegates to the state - and congressional
conventions shall tie selected that day,
and in what manner they shall he select
ed, or whether they shall name a day in
the future when such delegates shall he
selected by primary election or other
wise. The political affairs of the county
will be entirely in the hands of those who
attend, the mass,meeting, and it will be
for them to say what course shall lie pur
sued. in regard to tlie selection of dele
gates, as well as other matters which may
come before them.
It may not occur to many of t: e voters
of Museogee county that this is perhaps
the most important of all the political
meetings they will be called upon to at
tend during tlie present campaign. It
will be in thi* preliminary meeting that
the entire programme will be shaped,
and unless the people attend the meeting
there is no possible means of obtaining
tlie wishes of tlie party. One reason that
we hear so much complaint about “court
house cliques’’is simply for the reason
that the men fail to attend meetings
when urged to do so, and then growl and
grumble because it was not arranged ac
cording to their idea of thinking. Men
wlio have not the right to oiler a pro
test are usually the loudest in their com
plaints.
Every voter in Museogee county has
Been put on notice that a mass meeting
will lie held here Saturday. Kverv voter
knows that it will he left with a majority
of those who attend to say what shall
and what shall not he done. If a fair
i xpression of the wisltes of a majority of
the people—or at least a majority of the
democratic voters—is not obtained, tin 1
fault will rest with themselves, and they
will have no cause for complaint if they
decline to participate in tlm preliminary
meeting.

from tlie public cutlers. Some desire the
places for tlie distinction tilery is
in the holding; but the majority are
in for tlie pay. No matter how large or
small the salary, the applicants are many.
No fears need be entertained that there
will be a lack of gentlemen to till the
various positions to which emoluments
are attached. Each of the aspirants will
go before the convention with a more or
less following. If the delegates are bound
by the instructions from those whom
they represent, countless contingencies
might arise that would work a serious
injury to the party.* Common conces
sion always results in union. All will
admit that this is desirable. No other
end can he obtained if all
the delegates enter the convention
with the determination to surrender
something of individual preference or op
position and do all each can for the ad
vancement of the general good. Georgia
and democracy ought to receive more
consideration than favorites, or those who
are opposed. Peace and harmony should
be the prime objects. They can he effect
ed by the spirit of conciliation, each yield
ing something frankly and violating no
usage. This can"only be done when dele
gates are not shackled with instructions
so as to debar them from an exercise ol'
judicious discretion.

Another Newspaper Enterprise.
The Daily Advertiser, published at Newnau,
Ga., is a new enterprise in the journalistic field.
Alva C. Lowrey, Esq., is the editor and proprie
tor, and this is a guarantee of its success. Mr.
Lowrey lias made one of tlie best weeklies in the
country out of the Advertiser, which he has been
conducting for several years, and he now under
takes to answer the demand for an evening pa
per. It is a creditable paper that he is now get
ting up.
A (ONSKltVATlVE ELEMENT NEEDED.
The convention that is to assemble in
Atlanta on the “Mb of July will be com
posed of delegates chosen by the people
as their representatives. So far, nearly
all the delegates selected have been
chosen with a view to supporting either
General Gordon or Major Bacon as the
gubernatorial candidate. This is all very
well, as every county should be'left to
act in a free and untrameled way in car
rying out the wishes of the people.
There are, however, several tilings that
the people of every county should take
under serious consideration in the selec
tion of delegates, and particularly in the '
present instance, where excitement has |
run so high in various parts of tlie state. I
Those counties in which none of this I
prejudice and personal ambition have |
been engendered should serve as a lull-I
nnce wheel in the convention. The plain
duty is to nominate, and to nominate a
candidate that will best subserve the
interest of tlie state, and the
harmony of tlie party. The lesson of
a few years ago should not go unheeded.
It is a fitting occasion for the exercise of
wisdom. Regard should be had solely to
Tub London Economist publishes from tlie
report of the British mint a compilation of the
coinage of nearly ail countries for 1885, showing
that |85,344,150 gold and $75,804,005 silver iveie
added to tlie world’s stock of coins in that year.
But of the new silver coinage 128.950,000 was in
India, and #28,848,900 came from four mints in
the United States, leaving only about #18.000,000
for all other countries, and of this the Jnpuu
mint produced #5,800,000. Tlie coinage of the
United States was certainly not added to the
circulation, and the Economist is mistaken in
reasoning that this amount of new coinage im
plies a continued demand for more silver in use.
Certainly there is reason in recent official re
ports from India to suppose tliut tlie new coin
age there was not justified by any such demand.
At present there are is something over $91,000,- j
000 in silver dollars in tlie government vaults,
year ago there was a little over $01,000,000.
that rate of increase— $30,000,000 a year—suppos- !
ing the present amount to remain in circulation,
the government two years lienee will have to
furnish accommodations for over $1.50,000,000.
The New York World Monks L. W. Pitcher, of
Chicago, who sues for libel and damage to tiie
amount of #500,000, “must think himself a genu
ine peach blow."
A semi-annual examination of tlie filly-four
savings bunks of the state of Maine shows that
the aggregate deposits May 1 were $36,293,504, an
increase (luring six months of $1,181,064. The
excess of assets over actual liabilities is $4,583,719,
an increase during tlie t ear of #188,973.
The Parnell Association of New York sent Sat
urday to Ireland a I .ill of exchange for $4000.
Thus fur that association has forwarded almost
$75,000.
