Mr. McLendon’s Card.
Mr S. G. McLendon pulishes a
card this morning, defining his posi
tion. He is in no sense an aspirant,
hut would, if elected, serve. He puts
the claims of the town ou 11 high
plane, asking that only simple justice
he given her; that the interests of nil
classes lie considered. And this is all
the town has ever asked. Mr. Mc-
Lendim mentions a number of gentle
men who would represent Thomas
couuty with credit to themselves mid
the couuty also. It is admitted, by
many conservative nlliauccmen. that
a mistake was made in denying Thom-
csville any place on the ticket. The
town, ns well ns the country has inter
ests involved Lct-e piity prevail in
the premises Neither town or couu.
try should claim everything.
A Severe Blow.

borhood is reported.

The Troy Laundry is in full blast,
and Thomasvillc 1ms a first-class
steam laundry.
The management is making every
effort to please the patrons of the Troy,
and ns soon as the machinery begins

Tiook out for the call and delivery

A Card.
Editor Times-Ksteiu’Iiisk:
I have been absent for the post
week, and know practically nothing
of the poticial sitautiou. While I am
extremely grateful to my generous
friends, who have so kindly proposed
my name as a candidate for Leg is
lativc honors, I ant not seeking and
have not sought, that honorable res
ponsibility. While not indifferent to
the wishes of my friends, I am at the
same time not an aspirant, though
willing to serve if elected. I do most
earncsty desire thepeaco and prosperity
of my people in all their material and
political interests. I think wise men
and fair men will not demand what
they refuse to concede, and I believe
the people who reside in and around
Thomasville arc entitled at the hands
of the balance of the county to a just
recognition of their rights in the mat
ter of legislation. I hope in the
action of the democratic party, wise
and conservative counsel will prevail
and that one of our two representa
tives will be token from among the
number of gentlemen who would do
honor to Thomas.
( ol. A. P. Wright, Mr. S. L.
Hayes, Judge Hopkins, Mr. Patten,
Capt. C. P. Hansell, Mr. Hansell
Merrill, or half a dozen others, would
any otic of them make a most excel
lent and satisfactory representative.
It is fair to the town to have one rep
re.-cntntivc, and 1 hope her rights
will be recognized by the balance of
the county. With an infamous force
bill hanging over our heads, let us
strive first und foremost for harmony
and democratic supremacy and avoid
discord and division, as fatal.
Kespcctfuly,
• 8. G. McLendon.
A Patriot—Not a Partizan.
The card of Rev. J. M. ffushin,
elsewhere, will create a sensation in
alliance circles. Mr. Bushin, who is
a clear headed man and a sterling,
life lime democrat, evidently sees
that the course of tho alliance, is
fraught with dangur ; with danger to
the democratic party, and the .South
at this juncture, and he is too much
of a patriot to allow himself to be
used in n contest which bodes no good
to the southern people. The key note
of the situation is found iu this sen
tence: ‘ This is uot the time to i
sist upon our plans.” All honor to
the gentleman for his manly aud pa'
triotic course. It is just what many
of his Lost and closest friends predict'
ed he would do. This is no lime for
democrats to divide.
We sincerely congratulate Mr.
Bushin, and the democratic party.
Mr. Bushin’s declination means unity
and. harmony in Thomas couuty
And this, above all else, is what is
most to be desired.

The Outlook for 1892.
At the next presidential election six
new states, now that Wyoming and
Idaho are admitted to the union, will
be represented in the electoral college.
They will cast nineteen votes. At
the last election the electoral vote was
401, of which *33 were cast for Har-
risoa and 168 for Clevelanc. The
sure republican vote was 183, and
Harrison carried the two doubtful
states of New York and Indiana, hav
ing a combined vote ot 51. At the
next election five of the new states, it
is claimed bv the republicans, will go
republican. Montana they concede
to the democrats. The “sure republi
can vote" will thus be increased to
198. The total electoral vote will be
420, making making 211 necessary to
a choice, so that the republicans will
be thirteen short of victory. But iri
order to win they must carry New
York or Indiana, or one or two states
whidiwent democratic last ^lecsion.
From present indications the republi
cans will not be able to carry all the
sure republicans states," and Indiana
and New York are no longer consid
cred doubtful, but democratic.—News.
Lowndes For Turner.
Valdosta, Ga., July 10.—The al
liance in Lowndes county declined to
mnkc any indorsements for political
offices to day. The county will in
dorse Turner for re-election to con
gress.
Three cheers for old Lowndes.
TO X CLOSE
AT ONCE.
The withdrawal of Rev. J. >1.
Bushin from the race for congress
will cause quite a ripple iu alliauce
circles. Mr. Bushin is perfectly con
scientious, and has done just what lie
thought was best aud right. Angels
could do no more.
One of the St. Teresa party
promised tho Timm-Enterprise a
letter from that seaside resort, but
have heard nothing from the
Island. We presume the Thomas
villc party is having a pleasant
time.
Marriage.
The Cleveland Leader of July (ith,
has the following marrriage notice:
Loud—Smith. Thursday, July 3d
at 7 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s
parents, by Rev. S. P. Sprecher, Miss
Antoinette T. Loud and Mr. Redden
Smith, Jr., of Thomasville, Ga.
The bride was a guest of Pine Sum
mit last season, and is well kno wn in
this city.
He Wants to be a Congressman.
L. O. Jackson, of Bainbridge, the
proposed candidate for Congress
against Hon. Henry G. Turner, is the
man who said, “The Democratic party
lips done nothing for twenty-five years
but tinker with tho tariff and haven’t
done anything with that. Wo (that
is the Alliance) are tired of this, and
now we propose to take tho matter in
hand ourselves.” He’s a fine aspirant
for tho Democratic nomination. But
we beg your pardon, he don’t seek
that. He seeks the Alliauce nomina
tion.—Albany News and Advertiser.
The democratic party has been
Hying to pass a tariff bill which would
relieve the farmers of the burdens
which rest upon them, but they have
beeu thwarted by the republicans.
Let the alliancemen help to oust the
republicans, and they will get relief.
The colored excursion train left
the depot yesterday morning about
5 o’clock for Brunswick. A brass
bnnd, whose whole accomplishment
consisted of playing “Little Annie
Rooney” accompanied tho crowd.
The pcarjshipments yesterday were
quite heavy, probably the largest of
any day this season. Ono hundred
and twenty crates and twenty barrels
went by express on the night train
alone.
