DAILY ENQUIRER?- SUN The lurid - buttle runic oil' in the holier vosteriluv, uml (hr bill was ilcfeutcii by u vote of l;->7 against 140. Mr. .Morrison is slightly disfigured, but our dispatches thin morning show that hr is still in the 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. If “a number of Knpli sh capitalists," or tin* Stainhu •d Oil ci niqmny, or any Dtllt‘1 • syndicate, should di ctci'ininc to buy iff' > i fontrollii i" '.uterus t iu this road, they would liai'd lly allow their brokers to talk of it in>tmiIy in thoHtr cuts of Aiiousta. This is not tiie v ,'uy such transactions are conducted. Tin y are kc ’j‘t secret until tlie stock is 1‘Urt'liastM 1 or secured. To announce ill : advance what they jirojiose to do is al most to insure ii failure. Then we are not able to see why this syndicate would select a professor in the i Richmond academy to lie the president 1 of a great railroad system. It looks to 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. : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1886. “aa.«"i—w “SP* 8 *?* the perpetuity of unity.

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. Prof. H. C. WlIITf Prof. R. (J. KEDZIE I Prof. H. M.

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. N.W.AYER&SON ADVERTISING AGENTS bJH6So PHILADELPHIA Cor. Chestnut and Eighth Sts.
