THE WORK OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMIT
TEE.
In response to a call from the
Chairman, the Executive Committee
met at the court house on Tuesday,
and transacted the routine business
incident to the party.
It was one of the most harmonious
meetings ever held, and speaks vol
umes for the party. It is said that
the action in every respect was
unanimous—not a single negative vote
being cast.
But however harmonious, their
action will not suit everybody. In
deed the Committee did not expect
that. Who ever heard of everybody
being pleased at the same time?
Doubtless those who are displeased
will cry “ring and clique.” Did you
ever think what a serious reflection
on good representative citizens—
among the best from every militia
district in the county—to accuse
them of being “ringsters and trick
sters ”?
They ordered primary elections in
the districts for delegates to a con
vention, which convention will nomi
nate the various delegates and candi
dates, as stated in their proceedings.
The committee was unanimous in
the opinion that the delegate system
would be much easier of expression,
much less trouble to all concerned,
and create much less strife and dis
cord in the party. It has been fre
quently suggested that Democratic
candidates for nomination in pri
maries, after being defeated, did not
render the loyalty to those nominated
that would be rendered if they were
nominated by delegates.
The time fixed by the committee
for primary action is June 4. Some
objection may be raised to the time
of holding this action so early. We
think the committee wise in this, be
cause it must be remembered that all
the officers will be elected in October,
instead of January of next year,
three months earlier. The commit
tee thought a reasonable time should
elapse between the primary action
and the general election, in order for
every body to get organized and in
line. They cited the case of two
years ago, when we had a very hot
contest in the party, and in the
election immediately following the
Democrats carried the county for
Governor by only thirty-eight. In
the November election they carried
Hall by over five hundred. In the
January election the very men who
were most interested in the primary
carried the county by from six to
eight hundred. Another reason is
that the ticket nominated by the
party action is to at once enter on a
campaign against a well organized
enemy, and hence time is necessary
to heal over all party dissatisfaction
and get the party well organized for
the final election.
Yes, the harmony and unanimous
action of the committee bespeaks
success for the Democracy of old
Hall, and we confidently expect the
largest majorities for the party this
year that have been obtained re
cently. Woe be to the aspirant to
office who does not submit his claims
to the Democratic party.
AND EVEN YOU, BRUTUS !
The Ninth district has two candidates,
Colonel Perry of Gainesville being in it
in earnest. It is difficult to see how he
can hope to do anything with the senti
ment of the district so strongly against
the gold standard.—Savannah Press.
To most people it is inconceivable
that a man should do a thing with
out a selfish motive. It was once re
marked by a great philosopher that
“a perfectly honest man could fool
almost anybody.” This is a mighty
selfish world. We may expect every
man to look out for himself in all
things, and when he doesn’t do so we
are fooled in him. We do not read
ily understand that a man could be
prompted to do right for right’s
sake. “Honesty is the best policy,”
is often quoted. Many are honest
through policy—because it is to their
interest. Now and then we will find
a man who is honest because he loves
honesty—because he feels honest.
The men like that are the salt of the
earth. They will do right under all
conditions.
Now comes Brother Stovall,
the cavalier of matchless rhetoric,
whom we admire above common
men, and espouses the gospel of
“Get There.” “How can Perky
hope to do anything, with the senti
ment of the district so strongly
against the gold standard ?” he asks.
Well, he can be right, can’t he ? He
can bear up the standard of truth
and keep it from trailing iu the dust.
He can warn the people of the preci
pice and the quicksands. He can
point out to the people the poisonous
weeds of error.
We call this “doing something.”
A man who can do these things does
not live in vain. Such work is not
written on the sand, but on tablets
of granite.
Election to office is not always the
best test of the success of a man’s
-efforts. He who has a just cause
has succeeded already.
nvriE HIW tnAKLEJ.
The joint debate at the tabernacle
in Atlanta last Thursday night be
tween Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon.
C. F. Crisp on the financial problem
was largely attended, some 8,000 or
10,000 people being present.
A number of free silver advocates
from this city and section were in at
tendance. The majority came back
home converted to the sound money
theory as was set forth in such elab
orate and convincing terms by the
Secretary of the Interior.
While Mr. Crisp is an able man
and has many personal friends, they
are rapidly being compelled to admit
that he has no subject to discuss,
and notwithstanding his strong mag
netic nature and ability to draw men
to him, the silver fallacy as held by
some of our people and as advocated
by him is fast going into disrepute
and its allies are deserting the ranks
and going over to the camp of sound
money and prosperity.
Mr. Smith, on the right side of the
question, with facts and figures in
his hands, is able to successfully
show to the people that what so
many have been clamoring for as a
means of relief would afford no re
lief at all, and the people are think
ing about it. The more they think
the more they see that Smith is
right and Crisp is wrong.
The scales are falling from the
eyes of the masses, and Hoke Smith
is doing more to loosen these scales
than any other man in the State.
Let the good work go on until all,
form the least to the greatest, who
are now marching in the ranks of er
ror shall be brought to the marvelous
light of the truth of the situation,
and then the re-united legions of
Democracy will present in solid
phalanx an array of intelligence and
manliness that shall shed a brilliant
light all along the Democratic path
way from which error and heresies
of every description shall flee away.
Then, and not till then, will the
sun of prosperity rise with healing in
his wings and contentment will
spread her pinions over a happy and
contented people.
LOVE’S LABOR LOST.
The Jasper Herald of last week
said :
Congressman Tate has for the past
four years made an earnest study of the
financial situation and can ably defend
the principles of free coinage.
And again :
After having served the people so ably
and faithfully for four years they should
not hesitate in the least to honor him
with the nomination fcr third term.
Especially as he represents the opinions
and views of the people.
Now, it strikes us that Brother
Tate’s four years of “earnest study
of the financial situation” was labor
for nothing. It was absolutely thrown
away. The time should have been
devoted to the study of the “opinions
and views” of the people of his dis
trict. Suppose after these four years
of earnest study he had arrived at an
opinion on the question at variance
with the views of the people of his
district—then what? You will read
ily see the danger, as well as the
mental wear and loss of time, in
studying the question instead of the
people—for as we said before, sup
pose he had come to a conclusion
different to the opinions entertained
by his constituents? Then what?
But Brother Tate was lucky. You
may call it a happy coincidence or
what you please, but Brother Tate,
after four years of earnest study,
came to exactly the same conclusion
as his constituents, many of whom
never studied it at all. And how
came it that the people, many of
whom never studied the financial
question at all, should find the truth
without an effort, while it took
Brother Tate four years of earnest
study to find the same thing?
Wisdom doesn’t come to all by
the same route. Some have to dig
and delve to get it, while some find
it sloshing around loose, and all they
have to do is to pick it up.
Don’t waste your time, Brother
Tate, in studying the abstruse ques
tions of finance. Just keep your eye
on the constituents.
'Poo much learning is a dangerous thing;
Watch the people—then pull the strings.
This will save the mental wear
and tear and greatly lessen the lia
bility of getting at cross purposes
with the militia districts.
THE FIRST STATE ELECTION OF 1896.
Six years ago the Democrats car
ried Rhode Island by 1,560 plurality
for Governor. That was the year of
the Democratic tidal wave. Five
| years ago they carried it by 1,254
plurality. In 1893 they carried it
' again by 185 plurality. The next
year, 1894, was the Republican tidal
wave, and the Republican plurality
was 6,507. Last year it rose to 10,-
809. Day before yesterday Rhode
Island re-elected its Republican gov
ernor by 11,278 plurality in a total
vote of only about 50,000.
THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
Information comes from the Sev
enth congressional district which
warrants the statement that a strong
sound money man will enter the con-
I gressional race there.
Efforts are being made to induce
j either Hon. Augustus Fite or Judge
John Aiken to enter the race,
i News also comes from Rome that
i efforts are now being made to in
duce Hon. D. B. Hamilton or Judge
Turnbull to make the race as sound
! money candidates. The sound
money men in the district are sure to
have a candidate in the field.
THE BEST WORKERS.
Both Perry and Tate have a number
of friends in Jackson county. Some free
silver men will support Colonel Perry
and some sound money men will support
Tate in the nomination in this county.
They are both well known here, and each
will have a good following, but as a gen
eral thing the best workers are for Tate.
—Jackson Herald.
The workers! What sort of
workers? Workers in the field?
At the plow-handles? Workers at
the blacksmith’s forge ? At the car
penter’s bench? Workers in the
cause of religion? Os education?
What sort of workers? We will
suppose, of course, that you don’t
mean calomel.
The Herald doesn’t say that the
good men are for Tate—the patri
ots. It doesn’t say where the think
ing men stand, or the men who have
posted up on this vexed question of
finance that has such momentous
bearing on the people’s welfare. The
Herald doesn’t say where they stand.
It is the workers.
Is it possible that by “workers”
the Herald means the men who work
the voters ? A person who can work
a nigger for his vote might properly
be classed as a “worker.” And if by
“worker” the Herald means a man
who can work a nigger for his vote,
then we will ask why are the work
ers for Brother Tate ? Why shouldn’t
they just as well be for Perry ?
BECOMING RATIONAL.
We are highly gratified to know
that our Populist friends are at last
beginning to talk sensibly. They
have had a pretty long siege of it in
the delirium of political distemper,
and now that the fever is abating
and convalescence setting in, every
true friend of humanity will be re
joiced.
Not long since they had a mass
meeting here, and were addressed by
Col. Tom Wind. They also passed
several resolutions. We have it on
good authority that the following de
mands were unanimously agreed to
as a platform upon which to fight
for the offices of Coroner and County
Surveyor. These demands are some
thing like. They sound like busi
ness; and we are heart and soul with
the Populists in their fight for free
dom on this line. The Democrats
had never thought of these things,
and it is little wonder that the peo
ple had become tired of looking to
them for relief. These demands are
as follows :
First. We demand that the light
ning bug be crossed with the honey
bee, so that the bees can do night
work, thus increasing the farmer’s in
come from his bee hives.
Second. We demand that the ra
zor-back hog shall be crossed with
the centipede, so that each animal
shall produce a hundred hams, again
increasing the farmer’s income, while
reducing the living expenses of the
laboring man.
Third. We demand that the straw
berry plant be grafted on the milk
weed, so that it will be possible to
get strawberries and cream from the
same' vine, thereby affording a
cheaper luxury to the farmer and at
the same time assisting the spread of
religion by enlarging the profits of
strawberry festivals. -
Os course you will wonder what
these demands have to do with the
offices of Coroner and Surveyor.
That is easily answered. These are
the first real business-like demands
the Populists have ever made, and
they don’t know’ bow they will work,
and want to try them on the tail-end
of the ticket first, and if they don’t
kill, they will try them higher up.
LEARNED TO KNOW BETTER.
Congressman Kyle of Mississippi
has left the free silver ranks. It
may mean political suicide for him to
repudiate free coinage, for his State
is about crazy on the subject. But
he says he prefers retiring from poli
tics to advocating a measure which
he is convinced is dishonest. Mr.
Kyle was formerly one of the strong
est free coinage advocates and voted
for free coinage bills. But he has
given the matter exhaustive and in
telligent study, and has become con
vinced that he.was wrong.
A CAPITAL THING TO FLOAT ON.
We admire Col. P< rry’s courage.
Naturally if a man wanted to go to
Congress from the ninth district he
would first try to convince himself
which was the most popular side of
the financial question, and having de
cided that question, adjust his con
science accordingly. Not so with
Col. Perry. He, perhaps, as w’ell as
many others, realizes that free silver
is a popular craze just at present, and
that to be successful now it would be
better to jump on to this great wave
and ride it into Congress. We
firmly believe that if Col. Perry
would go frantically silver mad and
fight Carter Tate on the proposition
that he had been in Congress long
enough, be would come nearer de
feating him than he would on his
present platform, which in our minds
is as sound as a gold dollar. But
Col. Perry is not a man to do this
and we admire him for it. He had
rather pull up the stream against a
strong free silver current and feel
certain he is right than to go to Con
gress down a swift stream —into a
whirlpool.
Many of the farming class are now
naturally prejudiced against anyone
who is not for free silver 16 to 1.
“He’s a gold bug—favor monopiies
—don’t care what becomes of the
poor people,” and all such things
they think. But the “free-and-un
limited-coinage-of-silver 16 to 1 craze”
is just as sure to find its proper place
in the grave yard by the side of the
snbtreasury and all similar schemes
to play on the cupidity of the work
ing people, as water runs down hill.
It may not be this year or next; but
if Carter Tate comes down here in
the Ninth district preaching, “free
silver or bust,” ten or twenty years
from now, the people will laugh at
him.—Harmony Grove Echo.
COL. PERRY ANNOUNCES.
Col. H. 11. Perry, of Gainesville,
in a letter addressed to the democrats
of the ninth district, announces him
self a candidate for congress. Col.
Perry is a pure, sincere, Christian
gentleman and a man of brains and
ability, and if in harmony with the
people of the district, might be a
formidable competitor with any can
didate. He declares himself squarely
for sound money and against silver.
Mr. Perry’s letter is like the man, it
is open, frank, honest, and is to be
commended in this respect. He does
not attempt to disguise his true po
sition by words and phrases of doubt
ful or confusing meaning, a trick
known so well by designing politi
cians.—Clarksville Advertiser.
NOT IN THE RACE.
There is much talk through the
Ninth district to the effect that Hon.
It. B. Russell would be a candidate
for Congress next fall. A great
many people think that the young
man eloquent from Jackson is the
proper one to wind up Carter Tate,
our present representative, but Dick
don’t see it that way. A Herald man
called on him while at court last
week and quizzed him in regard to the
reports that were being circulated
and he replied : “I wouldn’t mind
having a five thousand dollar job,
but the Ninth district wasn’t made
for a man on the south side of the
river to represent it. I could carry
most of the counties south of the
Chattahoochee, I think, but where
would the other votes come from ;
besides I think the people of the
Western circuit want me to stay
where I’m at.”—Gwinnett Herald.
THE RACE WITH EDUCATION.
It has been stated that Hon. Car
ter Tate and his henchmen would
like mighty well to precipitate affairs
and have delegates selected to the
congressional convention before Mr.
Perry has a chance to make a thor
ough canvass of the district.
An uncertain, qualmy feeling ap
pears to have siezed the pot hunting
silverites as the truth of “where
they will be at” dawns upon them.
They realize that a wondrous revul
sion of sentiment against free silver
will be sure to follow the campaign of
education which will be waged be
fore the people throughout the State,
and that they will be hopelessly left.
They fear a fair presentation of both
sides of the question, and well they
may. This fear which silver advo
cates are so plainly showing evidences
the fact that they expect disastrous
results to the cause, the weakness of
which none know better than them
selves.—Cleveland Progress.
HOW THEY WANT IT.
Quick-Silver is what most of the
free silver men want. They don’t
even want to pay for it in corn,
wheat, rye, or anything else. They
want it free.—Blairsville Herald.
The friends of Editor John B.
Thomas, of the Dawsonville Adver
tiser, are urging him to make the
race for senator in the Thirty-second
district. It is safe to say that if
Thomas yields to this pressure he
will be found in the thickest of the
fight, and wiil make a strong race.
