The Kniicikkh-Kcs published a briof
telegram on Sunday announcing that the
Macon Telegraph hail changed hands,
Laving been purchased by a company
hetulcd by Mr. J. 11. Campbell, a promi
nent business mun of Macon. The Tele
graph in its is&ue of yesterday has the
following announcement:
“At a meeting of [the directors of the
Telegraph and Messenger Publish
ing Com puny, held on Saturday
at noon, the resignation of Col.
A. R. l.amar, editor-in-chief, and II.
6. Edwards, assistant editor,, were re

the stockholders, field immediately there
after, all stock being represented, the

those of that itaper. Col. Lamar is one

he lost to the press.
trf. oRMinrvr’K visit.
We are on the threshold of the season
of fairs and expositions of the industry
and progress of our section. The south
will advertise to the world again, as she
lias so successfully done in the past, what
she has been doing and what she is
cupahlc of doing; and we have no doubt
the exliii.it will be gratifying and will
hasten the already rapidly flowing
streams of population and of capital into
our land.
i Visitors will come from abroad. We
hope they will be so entertained as to
give them pleasant memories cf our peo
ple. These gatherings do much towards
harmonizing all sections and healing all
differences, and broadening sectional
into national ideas.
Among the distinguished visitors who
will come into our midst, wo are especial
ly anxious that President Cleveland
should lie made to feel that he lias the
unbounded respect and enthusiastic sup-
jiort of our people. We do not wish this
because lie is in power, but because he
has been a friend to the south, and has
been a faithful and a fearless officer.
No one can feel more cJnteinpt for
toadyism than we do. The little spirit
which sets society wild over the advent
of a princeling with a dirty character, or
no character at all, is as disgusting as
anything we can conceive of, but appre
ciation of true merit is quite another
thing. The president is only a man, but
he is a man who has made duty his
watchword. He is only a man, but he is
a good man and a true man.
It is so easy to forget the storm when
the bright sunshine is streaming upon
us. It is so easy to forget misfortune in
the midst of prosperity. We are now a
part of the union, and as important and
influential a part as any other section,
and we rarely look back to the disagree
able past. We liavo only to look back a
few years to find the time when a
southern man could hold no position
under the government unless he pur
chased it at the sacrifice of his'ideas of
right; and when we think how different
it is to-day wo can hardly fail to appre
ciate tlie man who lias (lone more than
any other to bring about this happy
change.
When it was known that Grover
Cleveland had been elected president it
was very much questioned whether or
not lie would have the nerve to appoint
a southern man to a cabinet position,
and as to whether or not he could recog
nize tlie claims of our section in making
any of his appointments. When the ap
pointments to cabinet positions were an
nounced, it was found that out of the
seven, three were from states lying south
of tlie Mason and Dixon’s line. The
Booth received at the hands of the presi
dent, more than site expected, and in
other appointments she received her full
sliare.
President Cleveland has bfeen a true
friend to tlie south. Perhaps lie lias not
been as liaBty in making changes as
many of our people wished him to bo,
but lie has been careful to be right, and
if this is a failing it is certainly a very
good one. Ho lias done his best and lias
done well, and he will receive a rousing
welcome from our people when lie comes
among us.
lUNim.l. AMI THK administration.
One of file spiciest political stories that
lias been s’arted on tlie rounds within
tne past few days lias been set going
through a Philadelphia special to one of
tlie Now York papers, with an addition
made in Washington, where the alleged
facts are, of course, being discussed. A
statement was published about two weeks
ago that Mr. Randall Imd in hiM posses
sion a letter which President Cleveland
is said to have sent Mint Director Fox
at Philadelphia, instructing him to pre
vent Mr. Chester, Mr. Randall's repre
sentative, from attending tlie Allentown
convention. Some of the papers have got
together these statements, and now the
story goes that not only is there a breacli
between Mr. Randall and tbe president,
hut that tliu Pennsylvanian lias been
making open threats that he can “ruin the
administration,” as well as Mr. Cleve
land’s chances of renomination. If Mr,
Randall lias really been talking this way
it is probably due to tlie bad humor in
which lie finds himself, after fretting
over the many statements that have re
cently been published, to tho.effect that
the revenue reformers intended asking
him to either fall in with tlie democratic
policy in congress, or else to take a back
scat.
Now, tlie ExquiKKK-Si'N lias never been
among those papers which have abused
Mr. Randall about liis position on tlie
tariff, but if he lias really been threaten
ing tlie administration, he lias certainly
shown very bad humor. Mr. Randall
should be tuuglit that tlie success of tlie
democratic party is in no way dependent
u|>on his whims. His own state did
nettling to elect the democractio presf
dent, but did all it could in the opposite
direction. This tlie country know
and Mr. Randall should ' be slow
to make his threats against tlie ad
ministration when he ought at least to
know that lie lias done very little, if
anything, to support it. Tlie country
will not be alarmed, however, at any i>o-
sition which lie may take. Tlie greatest
danger from Mr. Randall is in his oppo'
sition taritr reform, and not in any effort
that he may make to defeat the renomi-
nation of Mr. Cleveland.

The Kovernmout has great confidence In
the integrity of the Washington corre
spondent, or it would not let him go down
among the Btaeks of ooin and notes in tbe
treasury vaults, accompanied, perhaps, by
only one guard. It is likely, however, that
only dcmouratic correspondents are thus
trusted. The correspondent of a violent
republican sheet might not be able to over
come tbe temptation to load his pistol
pocket with standard dollars.—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
The Washington republican wants the
government to loan the Wall street gam
blers one hundred million. When this is
done it will be in order for the various faro
banks and bunco schemes throughout the
country to apply to the treasury for relief.
