Turner’s Chances.
The following special to the Atlan
ta Journal appeared in yesterday’s
[in per:
Bucnswk k, Ga., July 21.—“Judge
J. II. Guerry, of Dawson, passed
through the city yesterday, en route
for Cumberland. He said he did not
propose to take any part in the con
gres.-ionnl campaign iq the second dis
trict, and predicted the return of Mr,
Turner.’’
Judge Guerry made a mistake in
accepting the endorsement of the Al
bany convention, held in that city,
on the 15th iust. Turner has twelve
votes and lie wi'l get four more in
Thomas to-moi row. Colquitt and
Lowndes are ceiiain to go for h{m,
and ell the indications are that lie
will carry both Decatur and Mitch
ell.
A Good Platform.
The alliancemen -are demanding the
sub-treasury plan, alleging that it is the
plan for relief. Speaking of the out
look for relief, the Constitution says :
We are of the opinion that the
farmers, and especially the farmers of
the south, will never attempt to find
the remedy for which they are search
ing outside the democratic party, AVc
have never discovered any disposition
to do so, but we do believe that the
demonsiration they are making will be
such an object lesson to the politicians
that when the democrats come into
power in 1892 they will make haste
to give the tillers of the soil these
remedies, which cover .the whole
ground:
x. The free coinage of silver.
2, The repeal of the statute out
lawing rcaj estate in the banks. , • >
j. The repeal of the ten percent,
tax on the circulation of state batiks.
4. t'lic wholesale rcduc'.'on of
federal taxation. -J >
It will be noticed that the Constitu
tion, which has been silent on the sub-
treasury plap, does_not include that
impracticable scheme in its measures
for relief. Had this idea been more
elaborately set forth by the Constitu*
tion during the struggle of Judge
Stewart with Livingston, in which the
former was overwhelmed by the ad
vocates of the sub-treasury scheme
probably the fifth district nou'd have
been represented in the next congress
by a man who would have had some
recognition, cith cr r om democrats or
republicans, in the house. Ou r es
teemed contemporary might have add
ed that the demr 'ratic party has been
in favor of ca..v : ng out the principles
and policy above set totfh, but that
they have been thwarted, at evry
turn, liy the republicans.
Yes, within the lines of the demc.

A Cloudburst in a Canyon.
Denver, Cot ., July 22.—At in id-
night last night occurred a terrific
catastrophe that has temporarily iso
lated the towns of the Cler- creek
canyon om the world. An immense
cloud hurst near the forks of the
creeks, pouring a deluge of water
thin the walls of the canyon. It
completely demolished two iron rail
way bi.dgesat the forks, and, as far
can be learned, annihilated all the
structures in the vicinity. The res
taurant, depot and out houses were
swept away by the flood, but no lives
were lost.
A11 immense column of water, laden
with wreckage, went tearing down the
canyon, with terrible result. The
greater portion ol the roadbed was
washed away, and all means of com
munication are destroyed.
