Political lioiostope i\.f 4m* Year.
In national politics il is almost
a certainty that President Cl eve j
land will be nominated for a sec !
nml term, aml tlte outlook is, that i
lie will be elected. His message |
delininiz his views on the Tan!! :
gave a platform tnat can win sue i
cess for his party, and relieve il]
fiotn the charge of straddling this
great issue.
The Republicans are waiting
developments before centering on
u candidate; they are seeking to
take advantage of any false steps
the Democrats may make. Mr.
Blaine is, perhaps, the strongest
candidate that has been named I
tor the nomination, and hisj
strength so far. has been confined j
to the party hacks, and it is not!
likely tint he will again teeeivej
the boon for which he sigh? with
so much pathoand for which lie j
woiks with s » much tact.
In State politics there lias been
no developments that forecast
who will be the favorite one lor
Governor.
Senator Colquitt's term iu the
Senate expites March 4th. lSS’J.
and a successor must be elected
by the Lcgislatute that assembles j
next January. lie will be a can
didale for re election, but he ^vii!
have a formidable opposition; the
Atlanta Constitution will oppose
him because he opposes the repeal
of the Internal Revenue tax on
whiskey, and because he favors
Tariff reduction. This will mark
a new phase iu Georgia politics;
Senator Brown will oppose his
election for the same reasons,
while it is understood that Gov.
Gonion will throw his influence in
tavor of his old ally.
The Constitution is grooming
Maj. Bacon against Senator Col
quitl; we have favored Maj. B
heretofore, when opposed to Gor
don. Brown and Colquitt, and we
take advantage of this fact to say
to him that if lie enters the lists
as the exponent wf a high protec
live Tariff he will* add still an
other 1 o his long list of failures.—

look of joyful expectation was on
her face. The mother watched
her furtively, and spoke lo her in
