The revolt of the negroes against
the old time Republican rule is the
most promising sign for the negro
race that has appeared in many a
day. It is apparent all over Geor
gia, day.
The unanimity with which the
negroes all over the State are doing
tiii.s is a gratifying evidence that
they are at last awakening to the
fact that their white neighbors are
their best friends.
They are supporting Governor
Northen, the law and order govern
or, with an enthusiasm which they
have rarely exhibited in any cam
paign, and so far all the arts of the
Republican politicians have not
availed to restrain tlrem from ex
pressing and acting on their real
feelings in the State election.
When the intelligent negro and
the intelligent white man vote to
gether for good government, the
era of good feeling has well begun,
and the race question is half
solved.

A ttilery—To Candidate Collins.
It is currently reported that you
are an infidel, and that you boldly
assert that “Christ was an impostor,
and a bastard and that Ilis mother
was a harlot.” Answer, Mr. Col
lins ; are these reports true ?
Your answer shall find as great
publicity as this query—if you
answer in our next week’s issue.
\ oung men, who cast your first
presidential vote this year, a word
with you. Don’t believe half you
hear.
The Bainbridge Globe is now a
Third party paper. It really did
not have to make much of a flop to
get on to the new party.—Albany
Times.
The man who gets mad at what
the newspapers say about him
should return thanks three times a
day of what the newspapers know
about him but do not say.
Coming: Back,
Mr. Felix F. Darden, of Taliferro
county,chairman of the Third party
club in that county, has resigned
his position, and returned to the
Democratic fold. He came to this
conclusion after hearing Moses and
Ham speak. But he speaks for
himself, and here is what he says:
To the People’s Party elub of Ray
town ;
Gentlemen:—After having heard
the speeches delivered at Craw
fordville Saturday by Moses and
Ham, and carefully viewing the
situation, I connotsee any possible
chance for the People’s party to
succeed, and believing as I do, that
it will result in spoiling the negro
and tend toward making him
worthless as a laborer, I cannot see
why I should persist any furthorin
this movement. Feeling that I
cannot Do true to myself unless I
act up to my honest feelings, and
as the club was organized with the
plain understanding that whenever
one of its members saw proper he
could have his name taken off the
list and be discontinued as a mem
ber,I therefore submit this to your
body and ask you to accept the
same as my resignation of the
chairmanship of your body and ask
to be discontinued as a member of
the People’s party. Truly yours,
Signed) Felix F. Darden.
August 29, 1S92.
That’s right. That’s like a man.
When you ars convinced acknow
ledge it, and act upon your convic
tions.
The Democratic campaign, re
cently inaugurated, is bearing good
fruits, and that rapidly. There are
many honest, well meaning men,
who have been led off by this Third
party craze who will come hack
when they hear the truth. The
designing leaders know this, and
every effort is put forth to keep
them away from Democratic meet
ings. But there is going to be a
land-slide hack into the Democratic
fold. They are coming hack. The
best of them will bo with us again.
One II. L. Loncks, of Dakota a
Third Party fire-brand is hilled to
speak in Bainbribridge next Tues
day the 20th inst. to he accompanied
by C. II. Ellington. All the fire
1’iose two fellows may scatter will
ho stamped out on the spot by
Democratic speakers.
Men, unfit by nature and educa
tion for leaders, may expect to he
c itieised when they attempt
to entice the unthinking into
strange and dangerous paths. In
times of peril it takes strong and
experienced men to guide the ship
of state. This i% no time for ex
periments.
Cut this out and paste it in your
hat, so you won’t forget it: The
■State election for Governor, State
House officers, Senators and Re
presentatives, will he held on Wed
nesday, October the 5th. The na
tional election for President and
Congressmen will be held on Tues
day, November the 8th. The elec
tion of county officers will take
place the first Wednesday in Janu
ary, 1S93.
There are intelligent, well-posted
Democrats in every county in Geor
gia who can successfully meet and
overthrow the vagaries and insani
ties of the best of the Third party
orators who are travelling over the
country ; and Democrats ought to
meet them on every stump. If they
refuse to divide time, as they are
generally doiug now, let the Demo
crats follow immediately after.
Force the fighting all along, the
line They are on the run. Keep
them moving.
There is no occasion for a split
in the white vote in this country.
It can accomplish no good, and
there is great danger of its result
ing in untold harm. If the Demo
cracy, with the aid of the Solid
South, has failed for thirty years to
overthrow Republicanism,how can
that party he dislodged by a new
party made up of a fragment of the
■Southern white vote? They can
•only accomplish the result which
would follow if they went to a man
into the Republican party. If men
have not lo*t their reason these
things cannot be.
C-ortlon'w Jlt-ssapc to The Old Soldiers^
Writing to a friend in Valdosta,
Gen. John Gordon says :
“Please express my ernest hope
to all Confederate soldiers that they
will stand by the Statcin this trial
as they have in the past, and save
it from the doom which awaits it,
if the effort to divide, and distract
our people shall be successful.
“There is no relief in the move
ment proposed by the Third party.
We cmi secure great relief if we
stand firmly by the party which
has saved Georgia in the past, and
will carry into effect ail the needed
reforms of our people if we stand
by it.”
These are words of truth and SO'
berness, addressed to the old sol
diers. Coming, as they do from one
who has proved his devotion to
Georgia on a hundred battle fields,
and in the greatest forum of the
world, they ought to sink deep into
the hearts of any who may content
plate desertion from the ranks of
the only party of the people in the
South
What leader has greater claims
up on the confidence of the people
than Gordon? When has lie be
trayed them, or turned liis back
upon them?
Where was he when Weaver was
cursing and robbing the people
of Tennessee and Georgia?
Where was lie when Billy Peek
and Thaddeus Pickett turned their
hacks upon their comrades and de
serted the cause uponwhicli Geor
gia had staked her all?
Can you leave him and follow
Post, the red flag anarchist from
Chicago? Are there patriotic Geor
gians, old battle-scared Confederate
soldiers—who will do it? If so, let
us humiliate ourselves in sack
cloth and ashes at the graves of
John Brown and Tecamseh Sher
nuin. Let us apologise to Bullock,
and do penance at the grave of
Dick Whiteiey—for they were bet
ter men.
Oh ! Georgians—Confederate sol
diers—sons of Confederate soldiers
—will not do itNot if they have
looked this question squarely in
the face.Never!—Times.
On Tuesday last Georgia’s honor
ed chief executive paid his first
visit to Bainbridge since his eleva
tion to the Governorship, and to
say that he was pleased but feebly
expresses his feelings, if we j udge of
hisfeeling by his words. He came at
the invitation of the Central Demo
cratic Club of Decatur caunty, un
der whose auspices the demonstra
tion of the day was conceived and
conducted.
The Governor reached the city
on Monday night over S. F. & W
R'y at 11 o’clock and was taken di
rectly to the Sharon House where
he remained till morning, before
anyone knew he was about. (He
was to have arrived on Tuesday
morning and every arrangement
had been perfected to receive him
in a style befitting the man and
the great office which he repre
sents, but he came in unheralded
and as plain Bill Northen—taking
potluck at the Hotel Sharon.) He
no doubt prefers this kind of a re
ception, tor ’tis said of him that he
is the most approachable and sym
pathetic Chief Magistrate that
ever graced the office of Governor
of Georgia.
THE INTERFERING RAIN.
Early Tuesday morning the low
ering clouds gave evidence of the
floods of rain which began to fall in
drenching volume about 8 o’clock,
and continued throughout the fore
noon with short intermissions.
Notwithstanding this, at 11 o’clock
there had assembled in the court
room as representative a body of
citizens from both near and remote
sections of the county as we have
seen there in years. The court
room was packed as full of voters
as it could hold—the extreme in
clemency of the weather prevent
ing more than a half dozen ladies
from being present.
TIIE SPEAKING
Began at 11 o’clock, the Gover
nor being introduced by the Hon.
John E. Donalson, (an old pupil
of his in the long ago) in his
most chaste and eloquent-
style, he denominating the Gover
nor as the Poplicola of modern
politics, the noblest Roman of them
all.
The Governor arose amid a per
fect storm of applause for iu him
the people recognized truly the
Governor of the whole people and
not the Governor of any particular
class or classes.
He spoke for two hours—calmly
dispassionately, logically and most
conservatively, sealing conviction
to every intelligent mind who
heard him.
His showing for the democratic
administrations of Georgia since
the Bullock regime done the de
mocracy justice, and the scathin
which he gave Peek and Weaver
and their followers was as convinc
ing as it was severe. In fact after
he had shown up their deeds of in
famy from the official records of
the country he asked that any
voter present who after hearing
this record would vote for either
that he hold up his hand, and not a
single hand was raised.
The scene which followed beggers
description and served to enthuse
and redetermine every democrat-
in the vast throng to do everything
in his power to crown our stand
ards with success.
A large num oer of colored voters
were present and the Governor
showed them the facts from the
official records, what the democrat
ic party of Decatur county had
done for their school interests
since they had been in power; how
that the democratic white tax pay
ers of Decatur county now pay into
the Treasury .$14,000 a year, and
the colored people $3,000 a year,
and that the colored children of
the county actually received more
money from the Treasury for edu
eatioual purposes than the whites—
although the whites pay more than
four times as much to the school
fund as the blacks.
But any attempt to svnopsize
such a speech does the subject and
the speeen injustice, hence we re
frain.
The Governor dined and spent
the afternoon with his old friend
Hon. J. E. Donalson,and afterward
took Tea and spent the night with
Col. J. D. Harrell, a member of his
Staff.
