• POPULISTS IN THE PRIMARIES.
Tin* Herald has at all times enter
tained and expressed liberal views
oo the question of how the Populists
should be treated by the Democratic
parly. We have contended that the
doors of the Democratic party should
be opened, and a hearty welcome ex
tended to those Populists who desire
to do so, to return to us and become
Democrats again. But we have nev
or thought, and do not think, that the
doors of the Democratic party should
be opened to the Populists, and
invitation to them extended to return
to us unless they come hack In good
faith and become Democrats. Inoth
or words, no Populist has any bus!
ness voting or participating in
Democratic primary, unless lie lias
fully decided to nbandon the Popu
list party and In good faith become
a Democrat. If any Populist has
reached a full decision to abandon
the Populist party, (or what
once a party, but now defunct) we
say let him come Into the Democrat
1c fold, and a hearty welcome awaits
him. Jf, however, any Populist slm
ply wishes to .participate In our
Democratic primary, and at the same
time retain Ills allegienco to the Pop
ullst parly, we say to such Populist,
the doors of the Democratic house
bold are not open to you. The invi
tation is extended only to those who
are willing to burn the bridges he
bind them and say. "While I wai
once a Populist, now I am a Demo
crat. and will heartily support its
platforms and nominees.
We are satisfied any honest Pop
ulist will agree with us on our posi
tion, and admit that he has no right
to take part in a Democratic prl
maty until he abandons tho- Popu
list party, and fully decides to be
come n Democrat. Honesty In poll
tics as well as in every day living
sustain# our contentions.—Waycross

TUE8DAY'8 ELECTIONS.
The result ot the elections that
were held in a number of northern
states last Tuesday should be very
gratifying to Democrats throughout
the country, because In almost every
contest there was a lesson that may
be read with profit to the Democra
cy. The most impressive thing in
the result was the revolve against
graft and rottenness everywhere.
Where the democracy has gone after
false ideals, it went down in over
whelming defeat—as was shown iu
Chicago where the municipal owner
ship crowd led it astray t
ago.
In Sew York there was a greqt de
fection in both of tlie old machine
Jerome being elected on an indepen
dent ticket for the place he has held
that of district attorney,and Hearst
coming very close to defeating Mc
Clellan for mayor. McClellan's per
sonality and his very good record as
mayor of the city was all that save,
him. Tammany’s betrayal of Parke
two years ago and Its game of play
ing loose with party organizations,
except for the spoils, came
proving disastrous to the pa
along the line. It will he observed
that, the Republicans, instead oi
tiding by their candidate, Ivans,
i off after Hearst, supposing him
to be the stronger man and the more
likely to defeat the Democratic
inee. This is made plainer by the
fact that the Republican candidate
is now Hearst’s attorney i n his
test of the election.
It might have i een the best way
to dispose of Hearst as an element
in the party to have him elected
mayor of New York in this off-year.
In the next two years, his promises
to the voters would have sufficiently
evaporated to have him an unim
portant factor in the party’s coun
sels. As it is—as an aspiring can
didate, warring against those in pow-
r and making oily promises to ev-
-ry discordant faction—ho is still an
influence to he reckoned with.
Tho Georgia Democrats might
learn a lesson from the result of the
contest in Maryland, where suffrage
restriction such as is proposed In
•orgla was put to a test at the
ing to take such a radical step and
Ing to stop such a radical step and
one that Is less necessary now than
at any time since the wari -That
question was the pnrumount issue In
Maryland and a Waterloo followed
for the party. In Ohio, where James
'attlson swept the Republicans
out of power, we have an Instance
of a ‘safe and sane” candidate ou a
Hafo and sane platform. The Ohio
triumph was the most notable event
of the day.
In Philadelphia the Republican
grafters and corruptionists were
driven from power, In spite of the
campaign of fraud that they waged
throughout the day. Scores of re
peaters were arrested and much
fraud was detected ami nipped in the
bud.
Altogether, the result of the elec-
ion looks good to us. It shows that
he public conscience is aroused
against graft and rotten methods,
and that where Democracy Is true
to its high Ideals it is Invincible.

JUDGE SPEER.
smooth- faced .intellectual look
ing gentleman who sat leading in
tho New Willard lobby last evening
was Judge Emory Speer of Georgia,
whom President Arthur appointed to
the federal bench twenty-one years
ago, and who prior to that performed
tho almost miraculous feat of run
ning as an Independent candidate for
Congress and beating In two fierce
campaigns the regular nominees of
the Democratic party In a district
that had given Samuel J. Tllden
16,000 majority. After • serving two
terms in the House Judge Speer was
appointed United States district at
torney, and did brilliant work in the
prosecu.ion of the Ku Klux in North
Georgia, nine of whose members he
sent to the penitentiary. What he
accomplished in these famous cases
has since been made the basis of ev
ery conspiracy prosecution in the
country.
Judge Speer is particularly well
known in Washington through his
marriage to Miss Eleanor Morgan,,
DEPEND ON YOURSELF.
Many a man has tried to Justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them up and
play the game and that n G effort, how
ever great, on his part, could mater-
rially change tho result. But, my
young friend, the Fate that deals your
cards is in the main your own reso
lution. The result of the game does
not rest with fate or destiny, but with
you. You will take the trick if y
have the superior energy, ability and
determination, requisite to take it.
You have the power within yourself to
change the value of the cards which,
you say, fate has dealt you. The game
depends upon your training, upon the
way you are disciplined to seize and
use your opportunities, and upon
your ability to put grit in the place
of superior advantages.
Just because circumstances
some times give clients to lawyers
and patients to physicians, put com
monplace clergymen in uncommon
pulpits, and place the sons of rich at
the head of great corporations even
when they have only average ability
and scarcely any experience, while
poor youths with greater ability and
more experience, often have to fight
their way for years to obtain ordinary
situations, are you Justified in start
ing out without a chart or in leaving
place for luck in your program?
What would you think of the captain
of a great liner who would start out
to sea without any port In view, and
trust to luck to land his precious
cargo safely?
Did you ever know of a strong
young man making out his hie pro
gram and dep^enjUng upon
carry out any part of It? Men who
depend upon “luck” do not think It
worth while to make a thorough pre
paration for success. They are not
willing to pay the regular price for
It. They are looking for bargains.
They are hunting for short cuts to
success.
Power gravitates to the man who
knows how. “Luck is the tide, noth
ing more. The strong man rows with
it if it makes toward his port; he
rows against it if it Hows the other
way.”—Success Magazine.

bad habits of the old.
Something should ho done to put
stop to this "pernicious" talk of
r centenarians. Now here conies
among the lastest, Daniel Kelleher,
of Wilmington, Del., who has just
passed away at the age of 105 years,
but who, before bis death, declared
that he had used tobacco and liquor
all his life, the latter in moderate
quantities, but regularly. He smoked
three plugs of tobacco a week, and a
local statistician figured out that In
the course of his life he had smoked
no less than 17.SS3 feet of the per
nicious weed. Another deplorable
feature of his statement is his asser
tion that he never swore off.
Something should be done to pre
vent the centenarians from talking
pr writing for publication. They are
doing more than any other class to
create lack of confidence in the
opinions of the Intellectual but deli
cate people wno are striving to teach
us how to live.
