1864 Is also the lucky number by
which Cleveland carried the slate of

ever cast in that state. Tfhe closest
vote ever cast hcretoferc in that atate
was in 1844 when Polk carried it

ef the Georgia legislature in regard

enough to disgust the people of the
state with their legislature body. The
old system of appointment by the
governor and confirmation by the
senate Is tho only way by which we
may return to purer methods in se
lecting judicial officers. A governor
would rarely ever be so lost to thp
public weal as to refuse to recognize
bis responsibility to the people. A
governor is responsible to the whole
people, but to whom is a legislator
responsible except to the little hand

To-nlghl Danburg is having the
biggest demonstration that
has os ft hose soon . hro
About sundown Hie crowd
began to gather and by dark the
streets were a living watt, all bent on
having a big time.
Many and vigorous were the shouts
that went np ter Cleveland and Ken
dricks and the old Democracy. Fully
250 men are in Hue, and with fife and
drum and torches are taking the plac e
by storm. After parading all the
streets the crowd halted in front of
Mr. J. L. Anderson’s residence and
called tor him. Mr. Anderuon re
sponded In a duo and well-worded
speech and ended by throwing open
hie dining room doors and Inviting
the crowd to slipper. The table wni
loaded down with good things and
the crowd partook of as dne a repast
as was ever spread In this count*’.
Danburg has ever been noted tor her
hospitality, and last night Mr. An
derson more than sustained hts well
earned reputation. Mr. Anderson I*
one of those big sotiled patriotic citi
zens of whom Danburg may well lie
proud. After supper several youttg
men were called upon for addresses
and acquitted themselves very well
indeed for inexperienced s|iafccr*.
Mr. <T. A. Muss returned the thanks
of the crowd to Mr. J. L. Anderson
for hie bounteous hospitality, after
which all disbanded, every one ex
pressing themselves as having had
fa huge time.
The night will not soon be forgot
ten by the good people of Daubing.
Long may our President live, and
may Danburg havo many More such
causes for rejoiciug.
