It is generally admitted that Randall s was the best speech made on the Republican aide dur ing the tariff debate. In the State Conrention of New York, Governor Hill received only live roles for delegate to the Su Louis Convention. Just to please old man Dana of IheNew York Sun,probably, Beast Buller will again become a candi date for the Presidency. The Republicans of Virginia are divided into two biller and uncompromising factions, one bended by Malione, and the other by John S. Wise. The Democrats^of Ohio, the leading wool growing Stale in the Uninn. in their recent Convention unanimously adopted resolutions strongly endorsing the Mills Bill, although that measure places wool on the tree list. The Republicans reserved Sam nel J. Randall for next to the last day of the debate, and when the gentleman's hour had expired, Mr. McKinley, a leading Repub lican, proposed to divide his own time with his Democratic ally. A few disappointed politicians in Georgia are raising a great out cry because Senator Colquitt caine home during the meeting of the Convention to congratulate the representatives of the people upon the signal triumph of honest Dcra ocratic principles. The Evening News of Macon quotes almost daily from the col umns of the New York Sun, and quotes approvingly. The Sun supported Beast Butler in 1884, and is still bitterly lighting Presi dent Cleveland and the Democrat ic party. The Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Angusta, is still smarting under the lash of defeat, and haa written a long letter to prove that he |ms sesscs all wisdom, and that the people of Georgia, as represented in Atlanta at the recent Slate Convention, are fools. Mr. Thomas Gresham, a popu lar citizen of Atlanta was shot and killed last week by George Eddie man, a real estate agent. Cause: too much whisky. If we were to say that all those who voted to bring whisky back to Atlanta were a party to this crime, it would sound very strange to some people, yet such is the case. The so called Democratic pro tectionists of Georgis and of other Southern Stales never weary of re ]>cating the statement that the South is solid because of a fear of negro domination. The truth is the South is solid in favor of Dem ocratic principles, prominent among which is opposition to u protective tariff. If the protectionists and their representatives were sincere in what they say, it would be right and proper to conceije to them the most unselfish patriotism ever seen in the world. They declare that their only reason for favoring a protective tariff is u> benefit ibe farmers and laboring men of the country. They don't want it for their own sake at all. Mr Randall, who lias been un duly eulogized for his supposed friendship Tor the South, made his speech last Friday against the lull to reduce tnxalion, in the course of which he could not re sist the temptation to call up the ghost of secession, and to de nounce the institution of slavery. The mask is being removed, and Sammy’s real character is about to be developed. EL The Atlanta Constitution says that there is not now a dozen men in Georgia who do not believe that the recent Convention made ■ great political mistake. If the Convention had declared in favor of ro|>ealing the whisky tax, and against any reduction of the tar iff, llie Constitution would have been loud in the happy assertion that the people iiad aeled.wisely and well. The Senatorial (jrntlai. Our esteemed contemporary. Urn Liberal, in an editorial last week, upon "Senatorial matters,” lakes the position that "the county whose turn it is to furnish the Senator should be accorded the right to name the man.” .We pro p<we to discuss itis proposition ■ little, in order to demonstrate the absurdities that would result from its practical operation. We take it for granted that Terrell and Clay concede the right to Ran dolph this time to furnish the Senator, hat we cannot see any reason why they should he exclu ded from all participation in the important matter of naming' the man. They are component parts ol the same senatorial constituen cy; they are equally interested with ourselves in the selection of a suitable representative for the district; and to demand that they stand aloof, and let Randolph manage the whole business, seems to us to he unkind, unfair, and undemocratic. Every Legislature is confronted with some great public question for decision, and U|s>n such questions, of coarse, the people will be more nr less di vider). Take our own senatorial diatricl, for instance. Randolph by a small majority might favor a certain measure, while an over whelming majority ot the whole district would beagainslit. Would it be right under such circum stances for Randolph to nominate the Senator? Would the Senator, so Dominated, represent the views and wishes of a majority of his constituents? He ccrlninly would not, and we are frank to say that we fail to see any justice or fair ness in the new method proposed by our neighbor. Let us make our illuatration a little more definite and explicit. Two years from now, under the ro latinn system, it will lie Terrell's turn to furnish the Senator. The Legislature la -lie chosen at that lime will have to elect a United States Senator to succeed Hon. Jo seph E’ Brown. Suppose that our venerable representative in the Federal Senate should express a willingness to be returned, and that the canvass in the State should he made upon that issue; nnd suppose that Terrell in the exercise of her right under the proposed new plan, decides in fa vor of Brown by a majority of only a few votes, while the other two counties of the district decide against him by large majorities. The result would he that onr Sen ator would vote for Mr. Brown while lifsconstituency would be decidedly against him. It is true that this is a supposition, but it is iinportaut and valuable in so far as it illustrates a slate of affairs that would certainly arise under the practical opera tion of a method which literally restricts nominations to a small minority of the people. Let us investigate this matter a little farther. Suppose the propo sitinn is accepted, and a primary election is ordered foe our county. There would lie say three candi dates In the race, and not more than 500 ballots cast. A receives 800 votes; B receives 150 votes; and C receives 150 votes. A, al though he receives a minority of the votes polled, is declared the choice of the jieoplc; and we have ibe extraordinary s|iectacle ol 209 men exercising the right to name a man to represent a Senatorial district. Moreover, the new plan, for ail practical purposes, would abolish Senatorial Conventions, and all that would be necessary to do, would he for the county having the power to make the nomination, to notify the other counties of the result of its action. Rut wc have neither time nor space at preseut fur a further dis mission of our neighbor's proposi tion. Its absurdities are so man ifeal and so numerous that we do not believe that it will receive the approbation of the people uf the district. We have no objection to a primary election to nominate a Senator, but in the name of fair ness, in the name of justice, in the name of Democracy, let the elec tion extend to every precinct in the Senatorial district. We be lieve that the chairmen of the county executive committees con stitute the executive committee for the district, and we will most cheerfully abide by whatever plan they may see proper to order. Still we see nn reason in tile world for a ilepa'ture from the methods which have prevailed in the past. These views are ex pressed in a conservative spirit, without regard to any particular man's interest. Indeed, we have not even thought of how any plan of* nomination would affect the fortunes of those who may be seek ing political preferment. Wesim ply oppose any proposition that denies lo any portion of the peo pie the right to have a voice in selecting their representatives. ton Bueklen’s Aralea Salve.

Editors Enterprise and Appeal: In the present slate of difference as to prohibition, and perhaps andidales for Solicitor General, (to say nothing of 9iilqiiitt~W Senator,) existing lielween Ran- lolph. Clay and Terrell counties, it appears to the common run of our fellow citizens that the posi tion of the Liliera! in claiming that only Randolph is entitled to a voice in naming the candidate to represent the 1 llh Senatorial Dis trict. is calculated to work harm and result in a number of candi dates, to the contusion nf party discipline and the practice of the party.

It is that President Cleveland ia the recognised leader of the peo ple, and that with him at its head the Democratic party at the ap proaching elections wilt achieve a sweeping and decisive victory. From Ohio to Florida, and from Maine to California, tha Damo crata have, with extraordinary unanimity and enthusiasm, en dorsed his administration, and re cum mended him lo the Si. Louis Convention for renomi nation. It ia evident that be is the chant pion of popular rights, and so called Democrats who, for rea sons satisfactory to themselves, perhaps, have advocated the pro lection outrage and rubbery, withstanding their usnal cheek and presumption, have not had the courage lo oppose him. They bave fought bis bold and fearless views upon the greatest issue now before the country, with the ut most denunciation and bitterness, bdl they have not had the bardi hood to antagoaize the popular demand for bis leadership. While these so called Democratic protec lionisla are relentless in their grasp upon the jwiekpts of the lieople, they are not blind to the progress of events. They perceive the current of popular favor and approval that is bearing the Pres ident and his tariff viewa swiftly on lo victory, and they realize the impotence of their efforts to stem the sweeping tide. Hence they present to the country the extra ordinary spectacle of claiming to support what they cuntiane to de nounce aa a humbug and a crime. This fact has been no where more conspicuously demonstrated than in our own State, where a mere handful of bounty grabbers have exhausted their |iowers of abusive opposition to all proposals for reduction of tariff taxation, aad yet they outstrip everybody in their devotion to Mr. Cleveland, who ia the leader of the people's cause. Such ill disguised bypoe risy, however, has been successful in deceiving only a few, as was abundantly shown bv the fearless and outspoken declarations nf the lieople in their recent Convention These super-loyal friends of the administration.afllueol in shrewd ness, and deception, now under take to excuse aad palliate the in suit which they have offered In the Democracy, by declaring that the tariff ia not a parly issue, but only a “minor” question of gov ernmental policy. They indulge in this silly assertion in face ef the fact ibst the President, recog mzing its transcendent impor tance, made it the subject of his entire annual message to Con gress; and in view also of the fact that the Republicans, in their State Convections, have declared in favor of the present tariff, while the Democrats have spoken in lavor of reduction. It is not a "minor” question of policy. It is not a queation of policy at all. It ia a grave and momentous question of principle, involving the constitutional rights of thr people; and the Democratic party stands now, where it baa always stood, opposed to the taxing of one class of citizens for the en richment of another. No party can stand any where else in limes ol pesce, snd reasonably expect the people to sustain it. The present congress may not be able to bring about a settlement of this question. It may not be set tled by ibe next, but, as Mr. Wil son, of West Virginia, said ia bis recent s|«eclt in favor of the Mills bill, we will not let up ia this work, we will “rock the country from ocean to ocean,” till we ob tain a fair and equitable adjust ment of the taxation problem. Mr. Cleveland's great popularity is due more lo bis courageous stand in behalf of the people on the tar iff iaane than to any other act of his administration, and his re- election will be not only a trium phant endorsement of hia views, but a demand that they be carried into effect. This distinguished who has keen of Info the recipient of ew mack fnlsume laudation kg •rgano in the fimth, lung expected speech on Ihn tariff question lost Friday.

We aliude lo the bloody shirt” which be deliber- rately look up,and defiantly flaunt ed at the country. This waa a mean and contemptible net on hia part, aad waa wickedly designed u> weaken the Mills bill by a ailiy attempt to aaauciale it with slave ry and secession, and to keep alive sectional hatred aad animos ities, which no patriot would seek to do nndcr any circumstances.— After this ailiy, selfish and sec tional performance on the part of Mr. Randall, bis few sycophantic admirers in Georgia and elsewhere were prompt to repeat the ridicu lous assertion that he "ia the ac knowledged leader of the Demo cratic party ia the tieuse.” To be a "leader” one must have fol lowers, and it is a well known fact that tho few so called Demo- crats who train with Randall do not constitute a decent or respec table faction. The assertion, therefore, that bo ia the acknowl edged Democratic leafier, ia aboal as far from the troth as the east is from the west. The adulation that ia being so copiously lavished up on this Philadelphia demagogue by the organs of certain Southern beneficiaries of tariff taxation, about aa disgusting an exhibition as an honest and decent man has to witness in this selfish world Instead ofheing a "leader of the Democratic party,” it would be difficult matter for him or hia aer rile adherents to prove that he ia a democrat at all. If we judge Mr. Randall by hia avowed prin ciplea, hia actions; and hia polili cal association, bis place will he found outside the limits of the Democratic party, aad we know of no other criterion by which to judge him. A Brest Battle Is continually going on in the hnmsn system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the con stitution, to ruin health, to drag vic tims to tlie grave. A good reliable medicine like Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the weapon with which to defend one’s self, drive the desperate enemy from the field, and restore peace and huffily health for many years. Try this peculiar medicine. Re Walked for Fan. There waa sn Ohio man ia Americas, a tew days'ago, looking around, whom it is said walked the entire distance between the two sections a few weeks since. That be only walked for the "fun of the thing” ia proved by tbe fact that immediately u|a>n hia arrival here he deposited $7,000 in one of the itdhks for safe keeping. It might well be added—by the way of parenthesis—that the gen I le an from Ohio drew tbe entire amount out when the desire t» walk again overcame him, and left for ollior fields.—Semfer Repub Hearn. The protection organs in Geor gia are still whining because the Democracy is so solidly ia favor tf 1 of tariff reduction. Confederate Soldiers. It ia now nearly n quarter of century since the close of the war, anil many of the gallant veterans •f the Southern armies have la bored nnder great difficulties for means of support for themselves snd families. Aa time passes, age adds to these difficallies. and in many cases no doubt there will be suffering unless some assistance can be obtained from tbe govern meat. It would be a grateful and noble act for the States of tbe Sooth to take this matter in band, and see to it that no hero of the lost eanse” is permitted te need the actual necessaries of life. Many of these eld soldiers are suffering from aenons and painfol disabilities incurred while in the service of their connlry, aad tbe fact that they are denied the bene fits of federal pensions, is an a ditional reason wl>y they should be eared for by Ibetr State govern- meats. Itis tree that some of the States hare done aomethiag in this way, but none of them have pro vided anything like nn adequate support for their disabled aad de pendent be roes. Every year tbe number of these old veterans grows less and less, and ere long the last one will have |>asaed over tbe river to join hie comrades on the other shore. While they are here, let ns provide for those who are not able to take care of them selves. Every consideration of patriotism and gratitude demands that we abonld do this. It would he a aad commentary upon oer boosted love for the cob federate cause if, although failing toes tab lisbonr independence, wethonld allow a single disabled defender of that cause to need the neceaei tics of life. The South can ia no more appropriate way demonstrate its love for the principles of jes lice aad right, forthemaintenaece of which she slaked everythieg, and lost all bat boner nnd n good name, than by providing for the wants ef those wko bore the bard abip of the camp, snd encounter- ad tbe daegers of battle, nnd came out poor, crippled nnd de pendent. .

A trip through the submerged regions shows ibat the steriee of lose and suffering already published have not been exaggerated in tbe least. From the northern end of Adams county to lha southern end of Pike coaaiy. tbe iced on tbe lili aoie arifeof the river was protect- ed by e system or levees, a regies, embraciag S50.0PO acres, the soil beiag tbe richest ia tbe state. Ali the region ia new one vast lake, from six to tea feet in depth. Along tbe bluffs on the eastern edge of the submerged district, hundreds of families are. camped, living in tenia, and out ia tbe open air. Before tbe flood, most of these people were well to-do, l>ros|>erous farmers, bnt now they have little or nothing. Much sickness prevails among life unfortunates, owing to want and exposure, but measures have been taken to alleviate Utcir auf ferings. The mandated regions are fall of desolation. Deaerled- home steads, with water lapping tbe eaves, are the must frequent as well as tbe moat pathetic sights. But here and there is a apark of life not yet extinguished by tbe all-destroying waters. While tbe vast majority of the inhabitants fled to higher lsnd, a few were not granted time to get away, or mis judged the character of tbe break ia tbe levee, ami determined to stay with tbeir homes, end are now living in the garrets or on tbe roofs. Every roof haa been tarn ed into a place of refuge for live stock, poultry, etc., but number less benaea have been lifted from their foundations, and carried awav with the irresistible enr rent, nr demolished entirely. In the Say levee district, below Ihie city, tbe situation is infinitely worse than in tbe regions to tbe north. The crevasse, which tom pleted the inundation, opened at the apper end of the embankment, and the peal up waters from tbe river poured ever vast tracts of tha rich farming land, sweeping everything before it. Tbe torrent rushed down in great waves, aev- j eral feet high, with a force which nothing could withstand. The towns of Fall Creek, Sea Horn, and Halla arc bnt mere islands, and hundreds of refugees are huddled together in a limited apace. Four or five families are living in each of tbe rooms in a few houses above water, aqd are suffering intensely. Tbe damage lo railroad property is enormoaa, and it will lie three weeke^fter the water subsides before trains j can be running on time. This city is cut off from railroad com i mnnication north and west and aonth. Tbe Quincy and Carthage track is underwater for a distance of several miles. The bridges are gone and telegraph poles are down. The Chicago, Burlington and Qaincy. and tbe Wabash tracks at East Hannibal were washed out Saturday morning. On the west side of the river no attempt is made to run trains on any of tbe roads. Owing to the great confa sion it is impossible to obtain de tailed losses, but the aggregate will reach $3,000,000 from crops alone. Tbe damage to levees, houses and railroads will approx imale $600,000 Reports received to-day record the drowning of Samuel Moore by tbe floods in. the Indian grove levee district aod of two children of William Johnson In the Sny district. Two families living ia tbe Sny district are on accounted for. and no trace of them can be found. It is probable that many fatalities will be recorded when all tbe facts regarding tbe flood are folly koown. Mach sick prevails among tbe destitute peo ple from tbe inundated districts, but a relief committee of Quincy are rendering every possible assis tance to tlinee in distress. The river, to-day, ia falling slowly, having declined nine inches fi tbe highest point reached. Trains on tho western roads will be ran nieg to morrow, and tbe damage to all roads io this locality will be repaired aa speedily as possible Mn.

May 20.—Deputy Marabal Buice arrested Abraham Slrickler iu Forsyth county, last Friday anil brought him lo Allan la Saturday, where be gave bond lo appear in the District Court next term. Slrickler is a colored moonshiner and has grown old in lira business. Time and lime again baa ho been arrested and tried for the violation of the inter usl revenue laws, but generally he escapes punishment ou some tech nicality. Tbe deputy marabal bad wind ef tbe tact for several days that an illicit distillrry was ie opera- tioa near Cutnmiog, and eu Fri day set out to locate it. He had t clue as to tbe community in which it was located, but so in geniously was it conducted that it was with the greatest difficulty that tbe establishment was found. After spending Ibe entire day in va:a, about datk be came serosa an open field in cultivation, and lo hia surprise a small stream of toke waa seen issuing from a spot seemingly aa if it was aa tn- lerior fire. Approaching the place where the smoke waa belch tug up. he found a small stove pipe protruding about two feet from tbe surface and near by, be found a small bole in the earth which a well constructed pair of steps conducted below. The dep uty marabal, on reach ing tbe bottom, discovered that be waa ia a cyclone pit uf about twelve feet ia depth and thirty feet square. Tbe botlem waa neatly floored while the top was covered with fence rails and red clay. Ia u corner waa a pipe which caught the water ooxing out ol ‘ i earth. Ia the rear of the pit was s lunae! which extended some twenty leet into tbe earth and the pipe raa into this. Tbe drputy marshal went into the tunnel and to hia surprise a dis Ulfery waa found iu full opera tion. but no one was to be feu a«i ou the inside. On leaving tbe pit the deputy marshal, satisfied lha$ some one must be in tbe vicinity who waa ruuuing the corn juice manufact ory, began to leitk^ around for the person. Near by was a small hickory tree in which e peculiar object waa spied, which resembled a turkey buxxard. He approach ed tbe tree, and striking a match he discovered a negro silling ou one of the limbs. He was taken charge of by the deputy marshal and brought lo Atlanta. Deputy Marshal Reice is a veteran iu the business of arrest tag moonshiners, but he says ol all the distilleries be has ever md, be has never discovered any that would compare with the ingenious contrivance of this ne gro Slrickler.—Macon Telegroph.
