Alliance Caucuses
A somewhat curious condition of
affairs exists in the legislature. Two-
thirds, or three-fourths of tho mem
bers are alliancemen. They were
elected as democrats, but they seem to
withdraw themselves from those dem
ocratic members who are not alliance-
men. According‘to our dispatches
they have had several caucuses from
which non-alliance democrats were
excluded. And it seems to be the un
derstanding that they proposo to con
tinue holding caucuses at which only
alliancemen shall be permitted to be
present.
A remarkable fe iture of the caucus
es is that while non alliance democrats
are not present, alliance leaders, who
are not members of tho legislature,
arc welcomed. And .some of these
leaders are not even residents of the
state.
All of the alliance members of the
legislature were elected by the demo
cratic party, and they were understood
to be democrats. They canuot, there
fore, flock by themselves ns it were,
without violating the confidence which
their constituents reposed in # lbem.
They have no more right to hold Cau-
cases aud decide upon the course they
will pursue in legislative matters tlmu
the Masons and Odd Fellows of the
legislature-
If it gets to be understood that the
alliance members intend to run the
legislature upou alliance lines, instead
of democratic ones’ there will soon be
come nppareoy a fowling of dissatisfac
tion throughout the state. How is it
possible for the legislature to know
what the purposes of its leaders are ?
Most of its loaders do uot reside iu
Georgia, and probably have very little
sympathy with her people Is it the
iutention of alliance members of the
legislature, ignoring 1 the fact thgt they
represent democratic constituencies
aud shutting out from their counsels
non-alliance democratic members, to
follow these leaders? If it is they
are making a great mistake, and one
that is pregnaut with danger to the
democratic party.—News.

The Ball will not Take Place.
It has been decided to abandon the
military ball, in which the Guards
and Hussars were to participate on
fhe 12th, on account pf the perform
ance of Amy Lee, in tho Clipper, for
the benefit of the latter company.
The ball would have been quite an
event, but now the soldiers will use
every endeavor to swell the atten
dance at the opera house.
Where the Circus will Show.
The circus tents for next Saturday
will be pitched on the railroad
grounds on Fleming street. The
circus train will probably arrivo dur
ing the night, and almost before the
day has hardly begun a little busy
city of white canvass will present
jtself whero empty space now is seen.
Mr. Patrick Calhoun-
There is not a man in Georgia we
esteom more highly than Mr. Pat.
Calhoun, and we believe he would
make a senator to whom Georgia
could point with pride. Personally,
we had rather sec him elected than
any man in the state, but we hold
the unity and success of the Alliance
movement ahead of our personal
preferences of any individual promo
tion, aud therefore consider our
friend Mr. Calhoun as entirely out of
the senatorial race—for we see that
even the mere mention of his name,
has created distrust among the farm
ers of this section of Georgia, and we
presume that it will be the same all
over the state. It is not that the
Alliance opposo Mr- Calhoun as a
man, or distrust his friendship or loy-
altty to them. Simply his connec
tion with a railroad corporation dis
franchise? him from their support.
But for this fact they would gladly
unite upon him.—Athens Banner.

Breckinridge Goes Back,
Litti.e Rock, Ark., Nov. 6.—
Unofficial returns from the Second
congressional district fully confirm
tho previous report of Tuesday's elec
tion. In sixteen counties Breckin
ridge, dem., received 5,453 and
Langley, rep., 4,662. Tho official
connt will not materially change this
figure.

WAsniNqTON, Nov. 6.—The dem
ocrats appear to have undoubtedly
elected 233 members of the House,
so far as heard from, and tho republi
cans can count upon only 98 members
in sight, and the chances are that
from 5 to 15 of these will be left out
in the cold when the official returns
are in. TEis gives the democrats an
apparent majority of 185. This Is
unprecedented.
Harrison has pulled his grandpa’s
hat down over his ears and retired to

Items from the. Brunswick Times:
The Hon. R. G, Mitchell is an hon
ored citizen of Thomasville, and his
election to the presidency of the Sen
ate will give great satisfaction to a
section of the state whio.U has not had
its fair share of political honors.
With the Introduction of the anti-
bar room bill into the legislature tho
slogans of the Pros and Antis will
again reverberato throughout the
state.
When Tom Reed says “Mr. Speak
er” in the next Congress, the Demo
crat in the chair should ask, ‘‘Who is
that fat man?’V
A Thomasvillo dispatch to the News
says:
“A. T. McIntyre, Jr.,closod up the
sale on yesterday of 18,000 ncres of
pino lands in Colquitt dounty at a
very good price. Mr. Mclntyro has
been buying Colquitt county lands
ever since the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad, from Tifton to Thotn-
asville, was declared a certainty. He
realized about 87,000 iu profit on the
deal, although he had to pay iu tnuuy
instances, from 82 to 83 per acre for
the land.
The state Senate could have made
no nobler choice for president than
Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, of Thomas
county. He was a gallant soldier and
is a popular man. He is a lawyer,
and one of the best meu in South
Georgia. His election was a surprise
and seems to have broken the Alii-
ance caucus.—Augusta Chronicle.
With 237 members, the democrats
will not have any trouble in having a
standing quorum. It only requires
1C6 to make a quorum. But O, won’t
Reed and the other rascals squirm?
Matteson will hardly contest Turn

Tho Fat.Man from Maine is out of

And they go about mourning all
day long.
A Memory.
A wail of * child at midnight.
The chime of * minster bell.
The sorrowful moan,of a sorrowing sonl
And the sound of a passing knell.
An old worn hook on a corner shelf
And a spray of faded yew.
A locket with hair all golden and lair
And a ribbon of faded bine.
CARPETS, WITH US, ARE SO
CHEAP THAT THE POOR-
" ESTNEED NOT WANT
FOB A ROOM COV
ERING.
A needle ease, both empty and old.
And a case with hidden spring,
Wherein two golden watch keys lie,
A' heart—and a wedding ring.
I take the book from the corner sbelf,
And the ribbon offnded blue;
And before me stands the form I loved,
With hair of a golden hue.
And I gazo so long in those earnest eyes
That my soul grows weak with pain;
Then sko lades away—and I gently lay
The old hook down again.
—Every Other Saturday.
Quay is on his way to Florida to
rest. He says there will be no extra
session. We presume not, for Harri-
on must be so badly prostrated by
the returns from the election, that he
is hardly able to write out the procla
mation.
The chances still tavor Gordon,
though a bitter fight is being waged
against him. Livingston is looming
up in the back ground, but he cannot
make it. The latest senatorial possi
bility is Hon. Flem du B gnon.
The Chronicle says:
Congressman Turner will probably
be chairman of the ways and means
committee in the next House.
Reports from Atlanta represent Gor-
don as gaining ground. The people
of Georgia will not repudiate T»hn B.
Gordon.
Seoekary Noble refuses to allow
New York a recount. But the demo
crats counted -the votes, last Tuesday,
And so the gallant General Palmer,
will be the next U. S. senator from II.
linois. He richly deserves it.
COLD WEATHER NECESSITIES
Carpets and Tier Accessories.
The time is certainly hero
when you arc thinking of yoiVf
new carpet, and you could select
no better time to purchase iL
We arc turning out more car*
pets than any two houses in
town. Why? because we haute
the assortment to select from,
and the prices are right.
We advise you to purchase
your carpets now, for as sure as
two and two make four—yon
will pay more two months hence.
The McKinley tariff bill has
caused an advance in wool, and
it will be impossible for carpet
dealers to duplicate their stock
at former prices. Naturally it
will cause an increase to the
consumer. Our advice is plaits
We have only the following
inducements to offer—first tits
largest stock—second lowest prb*
ccs—third that carpets and rugs
are cheaper noiv than they will
probably ever be again.
The democrats in the recent politi
cal land slide gained four, possibly
five, U. S. senators.
Tom Woollolk’s case is still being
discussed. Tom’s dead ; let the 'nat
ter drop.
A good many republicans have fol
lowed McGinty to the bottom of the
sea.
And Nebraska even elects a demo
cratic governor. The tide is still ris
ing.
Savannah is going to celebrate the
democratic victory in grand style.
One thing is demonstrated: Har
rison is a dead cock in the pit.
If the Kansas legislature will defeat
Ingalls, all will be forgiven.
David B. Hill will bo the next sena
tor from New York.
Merriam is probably elected gov
ernor of Minnesota.
Governor Northen will he inaugur
ated to-day.
And the circus “am a comi ng.”
Ingalls is left. Thai’s right.
