This is what is called hoy’s talk—the
kind that sounds well to certain ears, and
the kind of all, perhaps, uttered with the
Seast mental effort. Xow, pray, will you
.suggest where the club is to be found?
The first, rule, ns to engaging in a diffi
culty by means of a club is “first get
your club.” That with us means a navy

TIIK IIII.KK-CItAWFOltl) SCANDVI..
No event has happened over the water
ma decade which has elicited more com
ment from (he American press than the
!>ilke-(Yawford scandal. And it is not a
favorable comment upon American jour
nalism that such is the cast
mot to be.
The prominence of Sir Charles I hike
has unluckily imparted a prominence to
his amour. Taken all in all it is perhaps
the uncleanest piece of la-civiousness
that was ever sifted in u court house.
London journalism is notorious for its
unblushing atl'rontery in retailing the
minutia of great scandals. London
journals dare not print the verbatim evi
dence in this ease.
There is not a mors pitiable pair ex
tant than Sir < buries and Airs. Crawford.
The woman is an anomaly of depravity.
She was the leader in great society, the
mother of twelve children, the wife of a
•eond man, and. at the same time, a fouler
wanton than any that walked the streets.
For years she has lacked only exposure
to crown her the queen of infamy. And
now she has been exposed. Her past
has been as a raging wave of the sea,
foaming out its own shame; and her
future Avill be as a wandering star to
•whom is reserved the blackness of dark
ness forever.
fsir Charles I hike has fallen from a posi
tion second to few in the British empire,
to where there are many to scorn him
but none so poor as to lend their homage.
If not tired of his life he is tired of his
native land. He is about to turn his
back upon it forever and make his home
In the south of France. It would have
been wiser on his part to Ubvq done this
before going to court. Meanwhile, there
are people heartless enough to say that
English society has closed its doors on
Sir Charles and Mrs. Crawford, not
because of their guilt, hut because of
their exposure, while others who are
known to be equally as ball are still wel
comed in higll circles. So damaging an
arraignment of fashionable society would
probably fall flat and be ascribed to en
vious got nip were it not for the support
lent to it by tbe unseemly scramble ol
“blase” and bejewelcd dames for good
in the court room, while tbe vile
and unholy details of Hilke’s career as a
libertine were being drawn from the wit
ness box.
Is it any wonder, in tbe face of all this,
that Henry Waltcr-on wrote home the
other day from London; “ I would
rather see a daughter of mine placed in
her coffin, and follow her to her lonely
resting-place in the church-yard at home,
than to follow her down the aisle of St.
(leorge’s chapel and see her wedded to
the brightest coronet in England.”
TIIK SKW lilKTUICr ATTOHNKV,
Yesterday the president nominated
Hon. Hupont (merry, of Americus, to he
United States district attorney for the
southern district of Georgia. There is
little doubt of his confirmation by the
senate. Mr. Guerry is an able lawyer, a
man of integrity, and will do credit to
the high office to which the president
has seen 111 to appoint him. If all of Air.
Cleveland’s appointments are as satis
factory to the people, he would do well
to go on with his changes.
nKATII OK Ill'iIKKT O'. THOMPSON.
Yesterday morning Hubert 0. Thomp
son was found dead in his bed in New
York City. He was a power in the
county democracy, and his loss will long
be felt. lie had his faults, who has not?
But his virtues wore virile and numer
ous. This year has been a fatal one for
politicians of note. They have gone to
the ground like withered leaves. Hu
bert O. Thompson was nol the worst
among those who have lately gone.
Peace to his dust, and rest to his soul.

lion. A. O. Bacon has written a long
letter to the public in which lie confesses
defeat, Imt swears undying devotion to
the principles for which he claims to
have fought. The letter E a long one,
and we see no reason for its reproduction
at this lime. The lblloNving is its first
paragraph:
To my friends in the democratic party in Geor
gia: TheconteHt for the gubernatorial nomina
tion is no longer in doubt. The result will not be
officially ascertained until the convention assem
bles on the 28th hint., but what it will he has al
ready been practically decided. As active opeia-
tions have ceased, I avail myself of the opportu
nity to return my sincere thanks to my Mends
throughout the state for their earnest support and
the confidence expressed thereby. 1 have felt in
this conflict that I was representing them, and I
have personally faced our opponents to the hist
moment in which there was the slightest possi
bility of defeating them. I have been
nerved throughout the struggle by
the supreme conviction that I was en
gaged in a battle for the right. I only regret that
tliere is no longer anything to be done in contin
uing the struggle save for our?gal!ant minority to
assert by the vote in the approaching convention
its loyalty to’.the principles for which we have so
earnestly contended. In the result of the con
test, my principal regret is the lUilure of a cause,
and in the temporary overthrow of principles
which 1 consider of vital importance to the state.
Personally, I should have most highly prized ami
appreciated the honor of the office of governor
had it been conferred upon me. It was perhaps
a pardonable ambition in which I have indulged,
that a service of twelve years to the state might
he closed with this distinction. This, however,
has been denied me, and I shall waste no regrets
upon it. |
.Major 1 himn tlu*n goes on at length to !
reiterate Home of the ehurgev that were!
ma«le against General Gordon during the
nunpaiyn and the motives that actuated |
him in making the tight, and contends |
that while the minority have Buttered I
temporary defeat,the principles for which j
they contended should he kept fresh in i
the minds of the people that they may '
vet he engraved upon a standard that 1
will he borne to linal victory.
The Macon Telegraph, in an editorial, |
endorses .Major Hacon’s letter. The Au
gusta Chronicle, which also supported
Major Bacon, takes a different view of it.
In speaking of the letter, the Chronicle
We cannot endorse the severe reflections in the
address of Major Bacon, which we publish to
day. If we believed what Major Bacon charges
as to the men who control the party in this state,
we should feel called upon to do all in our power
to defeat the election of General Gordon. We
It miirlit i could not advise the minority to participate in
it u^m j the deliberations of the convention. We do not
j believe that these men are banded together po-
1 lltieally t.» do.- poil the state and plunder the peo
ple.
! It isratural that Major Bacon should feel in
dignant at his treatment, and disappointed at
i his defeat. It would be unreasonable to expect J
; him to unite in the nomination by acclamation
i of his competitor, but we believe that his wisest
course would have Ween to have contented him
self with a dignified letter returning thanks to !
his supporters in this campaign, expressing the i
hope that the principles and methods for which
He had contended would yet prevail in the poli
tics of the state. |
We take no stock in the charge that General ;
Gordon and his friends intend to make money
i out of the State road; and we do not intend to
| discount General Gordon’s administration, or
I disparage it in advance, simply because we sup-
ported Major Bacon. If General Gordon was dis
posed to do wrong in the management of the
high office which will be committed to his trust,
which we do not for one moment suppose, he
i will have to call to his aid the general assembly 1
elected to protect the interests of the people. We j
shall give to General Gordon’s administration a •
fair and impartial support.
We have the right to criticise his acts, but we
i have not the right to misjudge his motives in
advance.
We shall approve what is right and condemn
what is wrong in the administration of Gen.
Gordon.
Major Bacon has made a stubborn, gallant
tight—one that will live in the memory of the
present generation. We regret that its conclu
sion should have been marred by reflections and
strictures that we cannot endorse without being
false to professions and associations, personal
and political, of many years’duration. We sup
ported Major Bacon from a sense of duty, because
i we believed that the party owed him preferment.
Vv o have discharged our duty, and weao not carry
on the fight against those with whom we have
here afore acted politically, unless there should
be further reasons for our opposition.
We believe that General Gordon is the only
man who could have defeated Major Bacon for
the nomination. General Gordon’s brilliant war
record and the superior organization and ample
treasury supplied by his Atlanta supporters se
cured his nomination. It is due to trailh that we
should say that the majority of the democratic
people of Georgia have confidence in the iuteg-
CLEVEUIO’S
SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER
Contains only purest grape cream of tartar,
bicarbonate of soda, and a little wheat flour,
the latter to preserve the strength of the
powder—nothing else whatever.
What other manufacturers impart to the
public a knowledge of ALL the ingredients
that enter into their baking powder?
Consumers have a right to know what
they are using as food. In these times of
extensive adulteration the public should
demand this information, and in all cases
where not given should refuse to purchase
the baking powder.

G)ay s Ship, which gave warning some two weeks ago, as a mod with the keenest of weapons,
sees now on the horizon u phantom ship in the distance, loaded with old charge books and ledgers,
and fly-traps and long-winded prices, their sails dotted with rumpled and misused samples of Dry
Goods from ot her stores; the crew composed of old time fogy merchants, known as so-called competi
tors ; their uniforms made of old style shop-worn black 2 to cashmere. The officers* uniforms dillered
somewhat, having a complete suit lined’with 10c gloves. Judging from the large white spots, we
thought the cruft a man-of-war. Blit Gray, with his keenest eye, saw that the phantom ship was
patched all over with old credit bills, the great cancer credit having eaten all through in many
hundred places. Prom the top sky foresail could be seen a black flag made out of faded black phiid
mulls marked “Credit.” We give warning. Our flag is marked ‘Spot Cash.” If the phantom
ship does not wish to endanger their cargo, they had better lieave to, as we will point our needle
guns loaded with grape and canister flying in au directions. Mafi.v will go down in the hurricane of
sleet, shot and shell. Others will he fatally crippled. But all wilt be sobered and read aright the
