The returns from Ohio show that
Campbell defeated Foraker by 11,454 and
that the democrats have both branches
of the legislature on joint ballot.
Even Massachusettes came very close
up towards the :victorious democracy
column—only 5,000 republican majori
ty, instead of 30,000 to 60,000 as it used
to be.
There will be few tears shed over the
departure-of Foraker. He was a pretty
small, fellow for the Executive of a great
State,,and whenever the opportunity of
fered made himself ridiculous.
The Iowa farmers are tired of the glor
ious high tariff which has plastered
their farms with mortgages, and they
gave vent to their feelings at the ballot
box on Nov. 5th. It was a hint to Sena
tor Allison, and if he is wise he will
profit by it.
An exchange writes very learnedly about
the currency of the future. This may
be all well enough, but what do we care
for the “currency of the future?” The
“currency” of the present is what both
ers us and what we are scratching our
head about.
A countryman, who hails from south
west Georgia, took a trip to Atlanta to
take in the exposition, and went to see
the capitol one day last week, and after
eyeing the building critically for two or
three minutes, he said: “Great gosh,
wouldn’t she hold a pile of shucks!”

f ° r ' pi , n y er who comes amongst them;
but they don’t want carpet-baggers—and
we mean by carpet-baggers men who
come here without capital or character,
ff o into some sort of chinquepm business,
rake in what money they can for their
jimcracks but of the democrats, and then
at the first opportunity seek_office at the
hands of a republican administration con
trary to the wishes and interests of
the community which is unfortunately
afflicted with their presence. This class
of citizenry the South does not want.
They are adventurers and. breeders of
trouble among the whites and blacks by
reason of the dissemination of their
‘higher law” ideas. The South has al
ways extended a cordial welcome to the
honest and thrifty agricultural classes of
r the North and West and thousands of
them aunually seek homes in the South
despite such slanders as are publish
ed for no other pnrpose than to check
if possible the tide of immigration which
is flowing in this direction. The “poor
white trash” which the Journal harps
about with so much satisfaction were the
very dirty individuals who drifted down
here from the North during the days of
reconstruction and lived with the negroes
and then finally robbed them. There are
a few of this class drifting in this direc
tion now; but, thank hoaven,they are not
as numerous as they once were.
TOPICS OF THE WEEK.
The only thing tliat the Republicans
can say in regard to the recent Democrat
ic victories, is that it is an “off year.
This is true. A large number of Repub
licans are very much off the political
roost and the winds of many winters will
sweep over the barn-yard before they
will get hack on it again.
The most grotesque comment that has
yet been made on the recent elections
was the sage reflections of Corporal Tan
ner, once Commissioner of Pensions, that
the people had rebuked civil service re
form. If any one has seen any civil ser
vice reform since this administration
came in we hope he will come to the
front and tell when and where it was.
Governor Boies, the newly elected
governor of Iowa, says he regards him
self as a curiosity, because a Democratic
governor in Iowa could not well be re
garded in any other light. Governor
Boies is very proud of his election, ho w-
r ,ever, and attributes it to the revolt
against prohibition and the fact that the
farmers of the state are tired of tariff
taxes.
Politics are close in Iowa—at least so
far as a United States Senator is con-
erned. There is going to be a good
eal of difficulty in re-electing Mr. Alli
on. The legislature is so close and Al-
son has “boxed tbe compass” so com
pletely on tbe tariff and other questions
that his defeat is not at ail improbable.
It is thought that the loss of three re
publican votes on joint ballot will beat
him. _
The biting blizzard which swept the
great western plains recently was a blast
of death. As the snow-drifts melt away
great droves of frozen cattle are found,
where they died, huddled together, in the
teeth of that awful storm. Cowboys,
drovers and teamsters, caught in the fury
of the gale, far from warmth and shelter,
suffered terribly, and many lost their
lives. Like the hurtling avalanche of
the Alps the blizzard of the American
plains leaves death and destruction in its
wake.
. t? «■— »
The E. T. system has bought up the
Rome and Decatur railroad. This gives
it a direct through line to the great south
west.
Chicago is getting ready to entertain a
party of Georgians, with governor Gor_
don at their head, on the 30th of this
month.
According tb the report of the com
missioner of internal revenue there were
90,000,000 gallons of “red liquor” made
in this county the past year.
Foraker will retire from politics at the
end of his present term and resume the
practice of few. Foraker is a rather sen
sible fellow after all, and knows when he
has enough. '
Bill Arp says the negro is the .Hapjp*®**
a< l most contented specimen ! of hu
manity in existence, notwithstanding the
opinion of sympathetic northerners to
the contrary.
Out of a total of 1,823 enlisted men in
the marine corps there were! 515 deser
tions during the last twelve months;
which indicates a state of things even
worse than.the condition of affairs in the
army.
Prof. Swift, of the Warner Observatory,
reports the discovery of a new comet.
It is found in the constellation Pegassi,
and is without a necleus or tail. This
intinerant wanderer through boundless
space is moving slowly northeast.
As two of the leading republicans in
Kentucky have killed each other and sev
eral of them in Chicago are m danger
of being hanged for the Cronin murder,
it appeal’s that the grand old party is
having a pretty tough time this year—
this off year.
The subscription list for tbe fund to
be used in erecting headstones over tbe
neglected graves of the confederate sol
diers on Johnson’s island grows too
slowly. The people of Georgia ought to
be proud of an opportunity to contribute
to such a cause.
One true bill found in Gilmer cGimfcy
last week is somewhat out of the usual
order. It was against a Baptist preach
er, who runs a government distillery,
for throwing a two-pound weight at a
boy’s head for disputing this reverened
gentleman’s word in a settlement, The
boy dodged and the missile missed its
mark.
The healthiest of all the recent Water
loo defeat was in Iowa. Only six or
eight years ago it was the most confirmed
republican State in the Union, giving
from 60,000 to SOjOOO majority. There, as
the tariff agitation progressed, the re
publican majority became “smaller by
degrees and beautifully less” until last
year, when it seemed to be a doubtful
State, and Harrison carried it by a small
majority. Now, for the first time it was
carried by the democrats, and chiefly, if
not entirely, on tariff reform issue. *
President Harrison fired George Julian
from the position of surveyor general of
New Mexico. Mr. Julian, during his
term of office under Mr. Cleveland, re
turned to the government thousands of
acres of land which he recovered from
thejand thieves. His “fitness” for the
position was the very thing the adminis
tration did not like, because the thieves
happened to be some of the shining lights
of the republican party.
The night of the late election the re
turns were exhibited by the Washington
Post by a steriopticon arrangement. Be
tween the returns a picture of Mr. Harri
son was exhibited and was received with
hisses and other marks of decided dis
favor. A picture of Mr. Cleveland fol
lowed and evoked tumultuous cheers.
Tim Harrison picture was returned with
th| same result as before, and then tbe
Cleveland picture followed, and the
crowd cheered more than ever. The
’ Cleveland picture was left on the screen
' for half an hour.

^rXlio Vnfv^of Amerioa
dedicated on Wednesday. ThoambMous
nro°Tam of outdoor exercises had to be
abandoned, but the intenor ceremonies
lasted all day.- The crush was tremen-
^At 10.30 o’clock Cardinals Gibbons , and
Taseherean and a large retinue of priests
arrived by special train and shortly af
terward began tbe exercises. Cardinal
Gibbons, in his robes of scarlet, heading
along procession of distinguished pre
lates, first blessed tbe building, sprink
ling holy water on the walls and fol
lowed by a great choir chanting the
“Miserere.” The ceremonies seemed in
terminable.
At the conclusion of the dedicatory
services, the dignitaries of the church
and invited guests, to the number of three
hundred, repaired to the athletic hall be
neath the chapel. The two Cardinals sat
side by side. To their right sat Rev.
Satelli, swarthy, slow, dignified; the
Papal envoy. To their left smiled the
familiar face of Secretary Blaine, Secre
taries Windom, Noble Tracy, Rusk and
Proctor and Attorney General Miller.
Postmaster General Wanamaker’s ab
sence seemed conspicuous. The first
toast was “His Holiness Pope Leo XIII,
Mgr. Satelli responded in Latin, which
of course only the clergy understood well
enough to appreciate. •
A wild burst of applause greeted Mr,
Blaine when he arose to respond to the
toast of “Our Country and the presi
dent.” The speech was very carefully
prepared and the speaker took, care to
avoid any strong eulogy of the Roman
Catholic church. It was an endorse
ment in a general way of morality and
education and religious liberty. Very
clever, Mr. Blaine.
While Cardinal Taseherean was speak
ing in French of “Sister Universities,”
President Harrison entered the hall and
was greeted with immense cheers. He
was followed by Vice-President Morton
and Mrs. Morton. The President Bore
the expression that is generally attributed
to a feline in a strange garret. The au
dience insisted upon a speech and in a
few short halting sentences Mr. Harrison
thanked them for their warm reception.
It was a characteristic speech, spoken
only in a sense of deep duty, and fell on
the enthusiasm of the crowd like a wet
sponge. A child might have known that
tempest tossed seas of old prejudice
surged betweon the speaker and his
hearers.
After an immense deal of painting and
plastering and remodeling and furnigh-
ing, the old Seward mansion is again oc
cupied and once more by a Secretary of
State. Mr. Blaine and his family moved
in last week. The decidedly old fash
ioned exterior has only been changed by
enlarging the windows. Inside changes
necessary for extensive entertainings have
been effected.. The furniture is magnifi
cent. The house is fiill pf ghosts, From
its windows, when it was ii club house,
BartonS. Key often signalled Mrs. Gen.
Sickles, and almost in front of it Sickles
waited for Key to emerge and shot him
to death. In the very room now occut.
pled by the Secretary of State came the
assassin PaynP Pf) kjll Seward, who fey
ill fn bed and who came so new meeting
his death tliat fateful April night nearly
three decades ago.
Dhring his visit here
Con-
^ „ inter-
vjpwed as efiances of obtaining the
speakership. His-friends claim that he
is the second choice of over one h111)(1Iff
and fifty members, and these gentlemen
insist that he has the written assurances
of tbe support of a score of men confi
dently SPDnted on By Mr. Reed for him
self. It is stated that the Western menp
bers have combined to beat Mr. Reed
with McKinley or any one else.”
