EDITORIAL NOTES. —We are not in an editorial mood this week. We desired rather to call attention to the local affairs and indus tries of onr town and county, —The Macon Telegraph criticizes onr latin of last week. Well, the troth is, Sidney, we were thinking just then about applying for a public school. —If the Rads, and all other ilks of politics vote for Uncle Aleck, bis ma jority will be unprecedented in the annals of ages. Hear, editor Lewis. —Dan Rountree is to be the candi date for the Legislature from the county of Brooks. Daniel will make a good one, and we intend to vote for him. —So sure is the election of Mr. Ste phens that we are not doing a great deal in his advocacy just now. We put his Democratic majority down at 60.- 000. Probably 40000 of other parties . will join the procession. -—Hon. A. O. Bacon ought to be elected to fill the first vacancy in the U. S. Senate. No honor or trust could be more worthily bestowed upon him. He is our candidate for that exalted position. Let the cry “Bacon for the Senate” resound throughout the land. —In our article on “Hon. W. E. Smith for Governor,” some weeks ago, we stated that Hon. Nelson Tift had been defeated by Wbiteley in two elect ions. Such was not the case. Tift beat Wbiteley both times, but was fired out once by the Rad. majority in Con gress, and the other time by Bullock’s giving Whiteley the certificate of election without authority of law and in defiance of right. Mr. Tift did serve a part of one term and made a faithful and efficient representative. In the Second. Quitman F>-ee Press. There is now every indication that the republicans in this congressional district are going to rally and do their big best in the November election. It is not decided who they will have for a standard bearer, but it is quite certain that they intend selecting their strong est man, and it is also true that the leaders expect to be furnished with a considerable sum of money to aid them in making the fight. Such being the ease, it behooves every Democrat to be on the alert and lose no opportunity to strengthen and organise the party. We believe it is conceded throughout the district that the Democratic nomi nation will be tendered the Hon. H. G. Turner without opposition. Such a compliment would be highly appreciated by himself and friends. We notify bim. however, that, in view of an al most certain nomination, he had best comence to burnish his armor for the conflict. There is something in the atmosphere just at this time that tells ns of fun ahead. The Democratic nominee in the 2nd will have no “walk over,” that’s certain. HIS DECLARATION OF PRINCI PLES FOR THE CAMPAIGN- How the Great Commoner Stands— Jefferson and Madison the Models —The Platform Indorsed. Hocst of Representatives, Washington, D. C., July 25, 1882. Messrs. Philip M. Russell, Commille, etc: Dear Sirs ;—Your letter of the 20th, officially informing me that I had received the nomination of the State Democratic Convention for the office of Governor for the coming term, and re questing me to signify my acceptance thereof, was banded me that day on the eve of my departure from Atlanta, and under the heavy pressure of business since my return to Washington, this is the first convenient opportunity I have had to respond to thesame.^ Allow me now to say that the nomi nation is cheerfully accepted ; and for the great honor conferred npon me, under The Monticello Connection. Quitman Free Press. The engineers of the S. F. & Railroad have been epgsg£j fo r the past two or three, w^ks j n ma king sur veys frq^ Monticello to & point on the I?. & W. somewhere in the neigh- f t borhood of Quitman. We learn that three lines have keen run. One comes out about Dixie another between Quit- man and Dixie, and another near JF Quitman. We cannot tell what this work means, Capt. John Reynolds, the chief engineer, being nnable himself to tell ns anything about it. We hope the road wil’. be built and do not doubt that sooner or later it will be. A Non nd Sleeper. A Quitman darkey went to slrep while fishing one night recently and tumbled off a log into deep water. He sank and rose a couple of times, .when his companion, old Uncle Dick Lewis, saw that he made no effort to save himself, got hold of him and succeeded in drawing bim to the bank. It was then discovered that the negro was still asleep, his cold bath having no “ffect. on him whatever. Uncle Dick managed to awaken him by rolling him in the mad and wearing out two or three lightwood knots over his bead. When the darkey awoke he expressed much surprise to find his clothes wet, and he ask-d Uncle Dick to explain. Wo think that Brooks county is entitled to the medal for having the drow- sieat darkey in America.—Free Trees. UJC, 1 « the existing circumstances, X ) particular line of busi , . . , will drop down *- - take this occasion to express to you, and through yon to those whom you repre sent, my feelings of profound gratitude. Be assured, if under Providence I shall live, and be elected, it shall be my earnest desire and endeavor so to per form the high and responsible duties confided to me as that no one of any party or class or condition of life, can justly say, at the expiration of the term, that he or sho suffered any injury or wrong from any act of commission or omission or neglect on my part. Those time-honored principles of Democracy to which the convention in its platform refers, iu which I was reared, and to which I shall ever ad here, are, indeed, I believe, the basis upon whioh all our past glory was achieved, and to which for our higher career in the future we can only hope fully look. Some of these it may he proper here to set forth, as they were announced by Jefferson, the great founder of the party, more than three quarters of a century ago : THE JEFFRSOX CREED. “Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state of persuasion, religious or political. The support of the State governments in all their rights as the most compe tent administration of our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwark against anti-R-publican tendencies ; the pres ervation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and society abread. A jealous care of the right of election by the people. Absolute acquiescence iu the decis ions of the majority—the vital principle of republics from which there is no ap peal but to force, the vital pri nciple and immediate parent of despotism. The supremacy of the civel over the military authority. Economy in the publie expense that ]abor may be lightly burdened. Encouragement of agriculture and commerce, its handmaid. Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of person, under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.” “These are some of the principles which constitute the creed of our politi cal faith, the text.<j£ civil instruction, the touchstone by which to buy the services of those we trust, and should,” said Jefferson, “we wander +‘rom them in momenta of error or alarm, let ns hasten to retract our steps, and to re gain the road which alone leads to lib erty and safety.” The foregoing, gentlemen, embodies the leading ideas and principles by which my adminstration shall be gov erned, if the people of Georgia shall call me to her executive chair. They are all in strict accord with the broad, lihetal and catholic platform adopted by the eoovention, which I must cor dially indorse. May I entertain the hope and express the wish that all in our beloved State who desire good gov ernment may unite in harmonious ac tion in sustaining these fundamental principles and thus secure the peace and prosperity of the old common-weakly as well as piomote the peace, prosperity and happiness of our matchless Federal Union of States. For you, personally, gentlemen, please accept my kindest regards as well as my best wishes for our common country. Yours, truly, Alexander H. Stephens. The Fight for the Next House Savannah Xetcs. Eight years ago the corruptions of Grantism aroused public indignation and the Republican majority in Con gress was swept away. In the last campaign the Radicals secured a work ing majority in the House, and their bargaiu with Mahone gave them con .trol of the Senate. They thus became responsible for the acts of the present Congress. In the opinion of free-spoken Repub Iican journals, this Congress surpasses any of its predecessors in failures to meet the needs of the people and in lavish waste of the public funds. The session haa been frittered away profitless debates and in partisan tactics that the minority coulu not but resist, although the majority were pledged to execute refoims, and for a time made great professions of their readiness to do so. The great question of the tariff has been relegated to nine gentlemen, who have taken up their abode at Long Branch. Several beneficiaries of the tariff have thus far appeared before them to ask for more protection in their ness. Others to the seashore from time to time and prefer similar requests The report of the commission when made will, doubtless, recommend that these pleas for our “infant” industries be heard. Mr. j^elley and Mr. Morrill, by a litt^ careful figuring, could have done the work of the commission for nothing. But in view of the co elections this plan, while economical, would have been risky In the matter of the internal revenue also, aaother great question has been evaded. True, the Republicans thought they had a very clever scheme prepared to deceive the people, but it was picked to pieces iu the Senate until Robeson became alarmed for the fate of his naval job, aod at the crack of the party whip the able Republican Senators cast their piece of revenue tinkering aside. Handicapped by these failures, and by the big jobs and little jobs that they have forwarded, the Republicans are in a fair way to be beaten at the polls. The three great States of Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York are by no means promising fields for recruiting Republican strength. In the first- named State a number of Republican candidates for Congress are likely to be elected to stay at home. In PennsyL vania the Republican quota of Congress men is certain to bu cut down. The quarrel of the Camerou and anti-Cam eron factious is past mending, and the shrewdest kind of generalship will be required in the Congressional fijrhts. In New York there will be hard^fht- ing all along the line, and the Repub lican ranks are not likely to be arranged to the best advantage. The cumulative gains and losses in these States, as mat ters look now, promise to add to the Democratic strength in the next House, and in other States also there are nu merous districts where Democratic gains are probable. The Radicals have made their record in Washington. It is damaging and disgraceful. Their sole aim has been to unlock the treasury and hand out the surplus to the jobbers. Foremost in this work has been Robeson. He is the recognized leader of the party. He will be a dead weight to each of his Radical associates who may be renon.,. nated, for the question before the coun try during the next campaign will be, ‘ Shall Robesonism be indorsed or re buked ?” Nothing feat the size of Hubbeli’s corruption fund can modify the answer that should and probably ^iTl be returned at the polls.
