Not a Political Order- A Cusetta correspondent of Tnc Macon Telegraph speaks ol the dis satislaclion prevailing in Chattahoo chee county because ol the policy ol the Farmers’ Alliance in forcing nomi nations for members of the General Assembly. He says: There are a great many of the best Allianccmcn who refuse to pledge al legiance to the Alliance as a political parly and declare their intention to cast their ballots for whom they deem the most competent and worthy demo crat in the race. In other words, they refuse to abandon the democratic party. Some of the best allianccmcn declare their intention to quit its ranks and cling to the party that has so long blessed their homes and firesides, while others who indorse it as an order refuse their support to it as a political party. As an order we cannot say too much lor the Farmers’ Alliance. The Chronicle has repeatedly stated that the power of such an organization for improving the farmers, socially and industrially, cannot be too highly com mended. But the Alliance as a politi cal body will never be regarded with favor. It is the organ of a special in terest. Its decrees must necessarily be the legislation of a class. Its meet ings arc prirate. Its ritual secret. Its political work must be in the nature ol a caucus from which the public is excluded, and its candidates are selected, mainly, Irom their own ranks. There is no freedom in such selection. A large part of the demo cratic party is barred Irom a voice in this kind of nomination and the choice is restricted to a secret band, held to gether by oath-bound decrees. Such proceeding is repugnant to demo cratic principles.—Augusta Chronicle, Georgia Leads. The News says : Georgia not only- heads the south in railroad building this year, but the whole United States. Georgia has built 183 miles, North Carolina comes next with 164 miles and Tennessee follows with 149 miles. Compared with the progress in rail road construction in the west and northwest the contrast is very striking. California built only one mile. Minne- soto two, South Dakota one, Utah two, Ohio seven and Wisconsin six teen. The total mileage of railroads constructod in the country this year is 1898, and of this total the south lias built 1,114 miles. It is a solid south, indeed—solid in progress and indus trial and business growth. Opposes the Action of the Albany Alliance Convention. Mr. Watson, ol Dougherty, a promi nent allianccman, is opposed to the order going into politics. A dispatch to the Constitution, says: Mr. W. O. Watson, president of the Albany sub-alliance, who was nom inated by (he alliance as a candi date for the legislature from Dough erty county, was so greatly opposed to this action ol the alliance in entering thus actively into politics and for oilier reasons, that lie has withdrawn his candidacy, leaving W. E. Wooten the only candidate in the field at present. Hurrah for Watson. The stockholders ol the Melon Ex change meet in Albany next Thursday to examine into the conditi .-n ol the affairs 0! the company. A full and interesting meeting is expected.— News and Advertiser. Csplkin" Nicholas Costello, perhaps the oldest White raao in the country, died in Haverhill, Mass., on Saturday, aged 107. I: is said that he had vo cd the democratic ticket all his tile. And his days—as they should have been—were leng in the land. Politics and the Farmers Alli- 4’ ance. Rditorf Times-Rnteiii'iiisk I have noticed a great many squibs in the Georgia papers recently, which have been intended ns flings nt the Alliance. So much has been written about us, tlint is unfair, that it is hard to keep from writing a little, under these unjust imputations. It is charged that we arc dabbling in politics. Well, the truth is, we are not dabbling, hut we have waded in deep, and are going lo slosh around generally this summer. This is very alarming to would be office holders their special friends and champions, with much anxious concern and thankful solicitude, for our snfety, have advised us ti beware, lest we fall and break our necks. Upon all actions, subjects and business prop ositions they arc silent and supremely indifferent. Wo arc thankful that our outside friends are concerned about us, even in this particular. Now as to the situation in this county. It is said, that wc arc greedy and exacting, that wc want it nil. Well, gentlemen, we’ve had noth ing tor a longtime and is it to be wondered at, that we arc thirsty and hungry’ for office—If you will let us linvc a gorge of the salaries and glory of the offices for a short season, we’ll staud back and divide later ou. We have presented to you the names of certain gcntlemcnt whom wc desire to sec elected. This we did of our own accord, and not because they asked it of us; but wc are will ing to trust to their integrity, patriot ism and ability to faithfully repre sent the county in the legislature. We arc not demanding their election, but in humble form, and manner, simply nsking that they receive the democratic nomination, and we’ll see to it that the hordes of black repub licans in this county do not interfere with the ; r election in Ootobcr. We nrc not going to interfere with dem ocratic success, and endanger white suprcniocy. This is n vital question, and in the future as in the post, the democratic farmers of the comity will he found doing their whole duty in a manly and patriotic way. Now as to tho situation on the other side. The town of Thomasvillc hrs had a full quota of candidates in the field for legislative honors. Two for the houses, and cue for the senate. Two of these gentlemen linvc retired for reasons best known to themselves. While the situation was in this shape, you heard no complaints nor objec tions from allianccmcn. They con cede the right to every man to run for office. There was no complaints against town for wanting everything, but everybody was in a good humor, and ready for a friendly tussle on the 25th inst. Away then with the idea that we nre going to interfere with the demo cratic party. So far ns the writer is concerned, whenever the alliance does, or even contemplates doing any thin to jeopardize the success of the democratic party in this county, we would not hesitate to withdraw from the order ; and I can count on my lin gers every member of the organiza tion,that does not take this position. We cannot afford any foolishness or selfishness. The party is the bulwark of our liberties; upon its success in Georgia, and in the entire south, ab solutely depends our safety ; it pro tects our rights nud property, and is the ouly safeguard for the honor and virtue of our wives nml daughters. Wc know this, aud we have patriotism enough to heed the danger, and to be ware of a' 1 extravagance. We arc going to make the next governor, nud have a working major ity in the legislature. This fact is already conceded. Wc are going to do this in a deccut and orderly way, and inside the democratic party. Our motto is “|>cacc on earth, good will to men.” Wc arc going to better our condition, and wuut all classes to help us. Wc mean good to all men, and 2vil to uoiie. Then let us have peace. Justice.
