The National Democratic Ticket.
FOR PRESIDENT ;
SAMUEL J. TILDEN,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT :
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,
OF INDIANA.
For Senator, 8th District,
HON. ISAAC A. BUSH, of Miller.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.
The St. Louis platform, with no uncertain
sounds, gives utterance to these great prin
ciples that constitute the foundation of our
republican system :
Faith in the permanence of the Federal
Unior.
Devotion to the Constitution of the United
States, with its amendments universally ac
cepted as a final settlement of the controver
sies that engendered civil war.
Steadfast confidenoe in the perpetuity of
republican self-government.
A resolute acquiescence in the will of the
majority, the vital principle of republics.
The supremacy of the civil oyer the mili
tary authority.
The total separation of church and State,
for the sake alike of religious freedom.
The equality of all citizens before just
laws of their own enactment.
The liberty of individual conduct unvexed
by sumptuary laws,
The faithful education of the rising gen
eration, that they preserve, enjoy and trans
mit these best conditions of human happi
ness and hope,
John Fiveash, a prominent citizen of
Miller county, came as a delegate to the
late Senatorial Convention in this city.
He was for Bush all the way through, and
though nominated to the Senate himself
by a Decatur county man, he authorized
Mr. John B. Crawford, a Decatur county-
delegate to withdraw his name, and to
state that he was for I. A. Bush and want
ed all of his friends to go that way with
him. Notwithstanding this protest Mr.
Fiveash was voted for largely by the De
catur delegation. Finally Mr. Bush was
found to be the choice of the Convention,
and no one was better pleased with the
result than Johu Fiveash. Harmony pre
vailed in the meeting—now let harmony
prevail throughout the party and let us
elect Bush in October.
If Alfred II. Colquitt is nominated as
the Democratic c mdidate for Governor
on the Second of August we shall support
him as heartily as any of his “organs;”
not on account of “his exalted Christian
character,” for there are thousands in the
State equally as exalted—not on account
of “his heroism at Olustee,” for every
honorable soldier in the Confederate
army is entitled to just as much credit—
not because he is President of the State
Agricultural Society aDd a leading Gran
ger—but because lie is the nominee of the
Democratic party, and is qualified for the
position,
The cry of the ‘organs’ all over the State
is : ‘Let us make Tom Hardeman Elector
for the State at Large.’ Certainly ; where
there is work to be done Tom Hardeman
istheman—“the brilliant leader”—“the
silver-tongued orator”—“Georgia’s favor
ite son”—and the deuce knows what else.
While we are certain that Tom Hardeman
as Elector would insure the success of
the Democratic party—it strikes us, that
the truest, best and bravest soldier, the
hardest worker and the noblest patriot in
Georgia has been working long enough
for nothing but “empty honors.”
Ron. Isaac A. Bush, our candidate for
State Senator, intends to use every honor-
means to succeed in the election.
lie is from Miller county, was the unani
mous choice of the delegation from there
in the C'onveniton ; and when Mitchell’s
claims were decided against, the majority
of her delegation went for him, hence it
is strange that he should have the slight
tst opposition in Decatur, yet we hear of
trouble brewing. Bush was fairly nomi
nated in open convention, Decatur being
fully represented therein by thirty-six
delegates.
“Tilden and Reform 1” This is the war
cry—this is the ticket. What does it
mean ? It means down with extravagance
and corruption in the administration of
the government. It means the exodus of
the thousands of thieves and incompetents
who disgrace the Civil Service. It means
reduced taxes and returning prosperity.
Poor, struggling tax-payer, “Dinna ye
hear the slogan !"
You might as well attempt to jump over
the moon as to find a political candidate
entirely free of opposition even in his
own party. Patriotism, however, smoth
ers all petty differences when a candidate
is nominated. Will Patriotism or Selfish
ness rule in the party in Decatur the pres
ent campaign?
PRESIDENT GRANT
Let us take a huried review of U.
S. Grant, President of the United
States. Sixteen years ago he was a
tanner at Galena, Illinois,—a man of
questionable moral character and in
temperate habits. He had been a cap
tain in the army, but on account of
habitual drunkenness was about to be
cashiered,' but Jefferson Davis, then
Secretary of War, allowed him to re
sign to avoid that disgrace. In politics
he was what Horace Greely called a
“Whiskey Democrat,” and a pro-slave
ry man.
The year 1861. ever memorable in
the history of this country, came. War
between the States was declared, and in
an incredibly short time over a million
of men were under arms. The fact of
Grant having a military education
brought him to the front, and he enter
ed upon the era of his unpavalelled suc
cess as Colonel of a volunteer regiment
from Illinois. He was soon found to
be of a most stubborn and heartless na
ture, caring nothing for the lives and
little for the comfort of his men. He
was rapidly promoted and finally be
came Commander-in'Cbief of all the
armies of the United States. Possess
ed of unlimited material resources and
overwhelming numbers of men, by sheer
brute force he achieved his successes
in the west. Having no heart nor
sympathy he cared not how great the
sacrifice of life, provided it added to
his fame.
Finally, in 1864, he took command
of the armies confronting that of Gen.
Lee in Virginia, and after a campaign
of over one year, and hard fighting day
after day, losing three times as many
men as Lee had when the campaign
opened, yet forever recruiting, he com
pelled the surrender of 9,000 Confed
erates on the 9th of April 1865, the
remnant of our army, to his own force
of250.000 men.
The war ended and Grant was the
“Savior of his Country.” The country
bowed down and worshipped him. The
obscure tanner of four years previous
was now the greatest man in America
— he restorer of American liberty—
the Republican patriot, par excelfance
And the people bestowed upon him ad-
di ional rank and emoluments. The
rank of “General” was created at a
high salary especially for him.
In 1868 a President was to be elec
ted. Grant wanted that office and was
ready to offer to the first party that
called. The Radicals were first and
Giant was nominated. He accepted,
as a matter of course, with the laconic
expression of “Let us have peace He
was elected. Then came his system of
nepotism by which his family of rela
tions were safely housed in public offices
with prin'-cly salaries. There were not
offices enough and he had more created.
His own salary was raised from twenty-
five to fifty thousand dollars per annum,
and with the costly presents he received
for offices bestowed, he became not on
ly a powerful ruler but an immensely
rich man. The people winced a little
at the change affairs had taken, but
upon reflection, had not Grant saved
the the country ? and was he not enti
tled to every consideration ? they
would ask.
Four years sped away and another
President was to be elected. The Rad
ical party wanted a perpetuation of its
powsr, and so did General Grant. One
was indispensable to the other, and
Grant was renominated at Philadelphia
in 1872, and re-elected. If his first
term was disgraceful his second has
been doubly so. In less than eight
years of his administration there have
been 50.000 new offices created--the
civil service has been made a den of
thieves, reaching from the Cabinet
down. Foreign Ministers have brought
discredit upon themselves and eountiy
to such an extent as to demand their
recall for decency’s sake—the taxes
have been increased until every indus
trial energy is paralyzed.
Bad, corrupt and rotten as is the
Republican party, it dare not Dominate
Grant a third term ; so at Cincinnati
he was thrown overboard. Always
distrusted and denounced by the Dem
ocratic party, since he is no longer ser-
vicable the Radicals are telling the
truth about him at last. The Republi
can press i3 teeming with scorn and
contempt for him, and he stands before
the country to-day in the light of a
guilty man on his trial. No public
man in the country is held in less es
teem, and on the 4th of March next he
will step down into oblivion leaving
nothing to be remembered but his
crimes.
The people of the eastern side of Deca
tur want a new county, and those west of
Flint river want one, also. 'We have no
objection, provided those who go.out car;
ry their share of the common indebtedness
with them.
Col. S. Bull,the Sioux chief,is reported

bud. S. Bull was a hard student of Napo

CENTENNIAL FACTS-
Apropos of the Centennial year we
have taken the pains to collate the fol
lowing historical facts :
The first Continental army was or
ganized in 1775, of which George
Washington was Comroander-in-Chief.
The Major-Generals were Artemus
Ward. Massachusetts; Charles Lee,
Virginia ; Philip Schuyler New York;
Israel Putnam, Connecticut. There
were, also, eight Brigadier-Generals
and one AdjalanUGeoenil.
In 1783 the army was commanded
by George Washington, Comuntnder-
in-Chief, fifteen Major-Generals aud
twenty-one Brigadier-Generals. The
Staff were as follows ; Major General
DuPortail, of France, Chief Engineer ;
Major-General Steuben, of Prussia.
Inspector-General ; Brigadier-General
Hand, of Pennsylvania, Adjutant-Gen
eral ; Col. Pickering, of Pennsylvania,
Quartermaster-Genera!; John Pierce.
Paymaster-General ; John Cochran,
Surge m-General ; Thomas Edwards,
Judge-Advocate.
The total force of regular soldiers
employed during tne war amounted to
231.791 men—militia 56,163—total
287,954.
Total expenditures during the seven
years, Federal and State, $135,693,-
703.00, being less than it takes to run
the Federal Government now for one
year, in time of profound peace.
In 1775 the population of the Uni
ted States was 3,000,000. In 1830
it was 13,000,000. In 1876 it is claim
ed to be 44,000.000.
In 1798 George Cabot declined the
appointment of Secretary of the Navy.
Isaac Shelby declined the appointment
of Secretary of War in 1817. This
may sound strange to the people now-
a-days, but it is truth.
Joseph Habersham, of Georgia, was
Postmaster-General under the adminis
tration of Washington, and of Adams,
and of Jefferson. That is to say, being
a competent official, and those being
days of honesty and integrity, Joseph
Habersham served the country as head
o r the Postoffice Department continu
ously for a period of fourteen years.
Grantism had evidently not crept into
the body politic in those good old
times.
Why is Gov Tilden any more likely
to to reform this Government than Gov.
Hayes ? What is there in the charac-
actfl . of these two men t hat gives one,
Tilden, the pieeminence over Hayes
as a reformer ?—John Shannon in
Senate.
To which the New York Sun says ;
The answers to these questions furnish
es the dividing line between the two
parties :
I. Gov. Tilden has shown by his
works his faith in reform and his abili-
ity as a reformer. He struck down the
Tweed Ring inside his own party He
crushed the Canal Ring, composed of
rogues of both parties. And in less
than eighteen month he reduced the
taxation in this State from fifteen
eight millions in round numbers - What
has Hayes done but sign routine papers,
grant pardons, and take his ease in of
fice ?
II. The characters of the two men
are as far apart as the poles. Tilden is
pronounced, positive, and aggressive in
assailing corruption and fraud, while
Hayes is uncertain, weak, and indiffer
ent. especially when the expo.-ure of
his own party is concerned. Ilis rec
ord r.s a member of Congress and as
Governor is a blank. He belongs to
the order of negative men, without
force or self-assertion, who travel a
smooth road of life, smiling like the
late Schuyler Cofax, and treading on
nobody’s corns or prejudices, that fur
nish the material for ‘-compromise can
didates. ” Tilden would be the leader
of reform in the White House, and
Hayes would be the mere tool of Cam
eron, Morton, Blaine, Chandler, Logan,
and the factions, to continue Grantism
under another name.. The firm would
be changed, but the business would be
exactly what it is now.
Grant, says the New York Sun, has
been ugly, bitter and malignant ever
since the Republicans dropped him for
a third term, and he is now determined
at all events there shall be a third term
of Grantism, or the Republicans shall
not prevail in the elections. It is to
this feeling that Bristow, Jewell, and
Pratt owe their downfall. Grant dis
cards them to frighten Hayes and let
him understand at the outset of the
campaign that if he pays any heed to
the reform element in the Republican
party he must expect no active support
from the President and his hundred
thousand office-holders, and the two
million they can contribute to the elec
tion fund, nor any aid from Gen. Sher
idan in carrying Louisiana and two or
three other earpet-bag States by the
bayonet—the last hope of Hayes.
Hon. John Screven, of Savannah
We have been asked by many of the
admirers of John Screven to advocate
him for the Gubernatorial nomination.
We have refused so to do because we
know that he would not like to have his
name dragged into the present strife
for the Governorship. Besides John
Screven never sought a political office
in his life.
Col Screven is one of the ablest
then in Georgia, and we, in common
wich this whole section, would rejoice to
tee him our Chief .Executive—but as
men are now seeking office, and not of
fiee men, it will be some time we fear
before the order will be reversed.
‘Discomfitures’ have no terrors for honest
men in politics—the man who openly
espouses and aggressively advocates one or
the other side in advance of the people’s
verdict may commit the “tolly” of being
cast in a minority; but hia position then is
mote to he respected than he who dangles a
leg on each side of the fence, till the issue
is decided, and then rushes to the front
with a whine that he always favored the
successful proposition.—Atlanta Common
wealth-
Every word of the above is as true as day
light. Lord deliver us from the ‘I-tMd-you-
soV and “fence-riders”—they are the most
contemptible element in any politics. We
have noticed in this gubernatorial campaign
newspapers and individuals who favored
General Colquitt only by insinuation, until
they saw him apparently distancing his
competitors in the race then tl ey openly
declared for him with an “I told you so”—
“I always knew he was the strongest,” etc -
The support of Haye-by the incinnati
Volksblatt has beeu heralded abroad as an
important German indication. The man
ner in which its support was secured is
germane to this question. A majority of
ten did it. The three directors, Hassau-
rek, Taft and Markbreit, met, and Has-
saurek was for Tilden, the other two for
Hayes. Mr Hassaurek appealed to ‘he
stockholders, and in their meet.ng voted
one hundred aud twenty shares for Til
den. The remaining stock, one hundred
and thirty shares, were voted for Hayes,
and Mr Hassaurek retired from the edito
rial chair. There is little glory and little
gain for Mr. Hayes in the Victory. The
paper has always supported the Republi
can nominees before.
If Carl Schurz carries the German
vote in his pocket he has certainly not
captured the German press. There are
twenty-seven German papers publish
ed in the State of Ohio. Of these
nineteen have declared for Tilden and
Hendricks, five for Hayes and Wheel
er, while three are yet uudeeided what
candidates they will support It may be
added that Die Zuhra ft, the organ of
the Western Turner Bund, has aban
doned the Republican ranks in which
it has always fought, aud conies out for
the St. Louis nominees.
The difference between the two houses
ever the bankrupt hill were settled last
week by agreeing to amend section 5,108
of the revised statutes so as to read as fol
lows :
At any time at the expiration of sis
months from’ til-.- adjudication of bank
ruptcy, or, if no debts have been proved
against the bankrupt, or if no assets have
come to the hands cf the assignee, at any
time after the expiration ot sixty days,
and before the final disposition of the
cause, the bankrupt may apply to the
court for a discharge from his debts. This
section shall apply in all cases heretofore
or hereafter commenced.
The New Broom.—At the Democratic
ratification meeting in Louisville ‘he other
night one of the speakers suggested that the
party symbol for this campaign should be
“a new broom”—typical of reform. The
Courier-Journal endorses the idea. “These
are sweeping times,” says the paper.
“Honest men have gone in for a sweepstake
against corrupt men. The Democrats mean
to make a clean sweep of the Republicans.
Ours will be a sweeping victory, and a
sweep ail around through every Department
of the public service is to be had as the
result of it. So the housewife’s familiar
implement, “A New Broom.” It is a useful
thing to have about the family aud will
come in nice and handy next 4th of March.
Brooms t o the front? By bat tali ns, by
brigades, march!”
The Chattanooga Times correctly diag
noses Gov. Bard’s recent conversion to
democracy : “Sam can scent a political
victory with as much precision as a buz
zard can detect the odor of a carcass,
with the wind in its favor. Sam is inva
riably on the winning side.
The blood of the Nigger is the Salva
tion of the Radical party. A few hundred
Southern negroes killed with proper dis
crimination will elect Hays & Wheeler in
November. And, indeed, what are the
colored people fit for but to vote and die
for the Republican party ?
Spot him. Spot who ? Why the Deca
tur demagogue who in order to secure a
political nomination would attempt to
stir up bad blood between the town and
country.
Since the days of Jackson, the New
Haven Register declares no nomination
lias met with such acceptance in Connec
ticut as that of Tilden, and he will carry
that State by at least 9,000 majority.
If Grant were “to see himself as both
litical parties now see him,” he would at
once tie an anchor around his neck for a
life-preserver and jump into the Potomac
river.
Ex U. S. Senator H. V. M. Miller, and
Judge A. R. Wright are mentioned as
possible independent candidates for Gov
ernor.
Th- Washington correspondent of
the Balt more Gazette thus mentions
the eloquent and excellent speeches of
Messrs. Hartridge and Lamar on the
Hamburg outrage :
“Two Representative men of the
South have since the debate, expressed
in the most eloquent language and with
the most impressive intensity of feeling,
sentiments which I have heretofore at
tributed to the great mass of people of
the South. No man who heard Mr.
Hartridge. of Georgia, yesterday, or Mr
Lamar, of Mississippi, to-day. could in
his heart doubt that they believed and
felt what they said. The condemnation
of the Hamburg outrage from Lamar’s
lips to day was a thousand times more
eloquent than any that has been utter
ed by Republican speakers, and it was
simply because it was plain to every
man who heard him that he felt and
meant all he said. It was the honest
indignation of an honest man and not
the mock sentimentality, the shaui phi
lanthropy of fellows like Garfield, Hale
and Foster, who, while they speak words
of condemnation against the whites who
shot down negro prisoners, secretly re
joiced thereat because they believed
every negro shot at Hamburg was worth
ten thousand votes in the South this
fall for Hayes and Wheeler. On the
Democratic fide of the House Lamar’s
and Hartridge’s speeches are universally
approved. I did not meet a single gen
tleman who was not glad that the man
ly words had been spoken.
Dooly county’s re-endorsement of
Gen Phil Gook for (longress settles the
question in that District.
In the Second District Hon VVm. E.
Smith is not likely to have formidable
opposition.
In the fourth District the fight is
fierce and closely contested. Mr. Blount,
is thought to be the strongest, but his
success over Bacon, Lawsoa and Floyd
is by no means certain.
In the filth District Mr. Harris’ re-
election is almost certain.
Mr. GunJIer, of this District, has a
dangerous antagonist in Dud llaui-
uiond and will have no easy fight for
his return.
Mr. Hill will have a walk over in
the ninth.
Mr. Hartridge will have trouble in
the first with Uol J. C. Nichols and
others.—Commonwealth

tPHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF i 67,
1 which includes National, State and conn
ty elections, and which will undoubtedly-be
the most active and hotly contested of any
since the memorable canvass of I860, is now
fairly opened. The National Democratic
Party will this year make a bold, vigorous,
and doubtless successful struggle for the
maintainance and supremacy of those prin
ciples which are vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being
of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election,
the people of Georgia and Florida will elect
new State governments. In Florida the
campaigns promises to be unusually vigor
ous, and there is a probability that for the
first time since the war the people of that
Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic
State government. In these campaigns the
people of the South arc deeply interested ;
and every intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his countty and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every
detail of the great work of redemption and
reform that is now going on.
To this end lie should subscribe to and as
sist in circulating the SAVANNAH MORN
ING NEWS, an independent Democratic
newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fear,
les - in their expression; a paper that is
recognized everywhere as the best daily in
the ‘■’outh. Its editorial department is vig
orous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its
news and local departments are marvels of
industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confin
ed to a mere barren summary ot events
transpiring in those States, but is enlivened
by comment at once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the readers of
the
MORNING NEWS.
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches,
special telegrams, and by means of special
correspondence ; and through these agencies
the paper will be the earliest chronicle of
every noteworthy incident of the political
campaign of 1876.
