PLATFORM AND CANDIDATE.
In less than eight months, the
Democratic National convention will
meet, frame a platform upon which to
go before the people, and nominate-a
presidential candidate who will carry
the party either to victory or de
feat.
It in well enough this early in the
game to begin to think over these
two matters, viz; platform and can
didate; well enough that Georgians
should discuss them dispassionately
without prejudice, so that^her dele
gates may know what her psople
wish, and be on the alert to carry her
wishes through.
As to the platlorm, their should be
one main plank and that the reduce
tion of the tariff. That reduction
should be gone about in a conserva
tive and business like manner, such
as will achieve the best results for
all classes of the American people.
Along side the tariff there must be
placed another financial plank. The
condition of the country as regards
money matters absolutely demands
some law that will relieve the strin
gency and place the currency of the
nation on a sounder basis. -There
must be more money per capita in
America. Now as to the exact plan,
let our democratic leaders agree upon
it.
It seems to us that free silver is a
solution for the question, but iD the
language of the Farmers’ Alliance ii
that iis it good enough, give ns
“something better.” If the demoo
racy goes to the country upon the
platform of tariff reform, financial
reform, and an honest, economica!
administration of the affairs of the
government, there is nothing or.
earth that can cast defeat upon its
colors.
So much for the platform, now for
the candidates.
To start with the democracy should
throw aside the idea that its presi
dential candidate mast needs be a
New Yorker. There never was a
more fallacious piece of reasoning
The time has come in the history of
this nation when its destiny no
longer remains in tha hands of one
particular State. The great and
living question of tbe hoar is, “where
is the man?” not “where does he hail
from?”
What has been the history of
events as regards the candidacy of
men from New York? There is ho
snrer guide by which we may be
direoted than the lessons of experi
ence. And experience tells ns that
twice, and twice only, in the course
of fifty-five years have the democrats
carried the Presidential election with
a candidate hailing from New York
—in 1836, with Martin Van Barca
and in 1884 with Graver Cleve -
land. That is a fact worth thinking
over when men tell yon that it is in-
dispensible to the success of the
democratic party to have a presides
tial candidate from New York.
We are wedded to no particular
man for the office; we desire to sec
the principles triumph and not the
men.
Therefore in tbe selection of
candidate, it matters little from
what section he halls, if he 1b made
up of the right kind of stuff, and
stands on the right kind of plat
form.
Make the platform and make it
with oare and forethought, looking
forward to the glorious objects to be
attained; and then in calmness and
deliberation select the standard
bearer who ia best able to carry the
party to victory in 1892.,
and fortune.
But the seed of such ambition is
sown long before the youthful aspi
rant c«uteinplates becoming a colle
gian. Witness the great number of
juvenile publications which are now
the order of the day in almost every
city of importance in the land. Tnese
are the slerds on which our future
journalists are hurried to success.
With the collegian, however, the
tendency is still more striking. The
student is living that period of his
life at which he must decide, for bet
ter or for worse, what shall be his
future occupation. Many of them
are deluded with the phantazy that
a newspaper life is the shortest and
easiest road to success and fortune;
and bat few attain the end of this
lofty and ambitious aspiration.
Those that do succeed will tell yon
that it is work and hard work too
Our own University has been ex
ceedingly fortunate in being the
alma mater of a number of men who
together with their ambition pos
sessed the energy and talents which
are tbe requisites of succes. First
and foremost of ail the man was
Grady,mighty hero, fortune’s chosen
disciple. Foremost in college jour
nalism while in attendance on the
University was Howell now at the
head of the most prominent southern
daily. Stovall, Richardson, Graves,
Boifeuillet, and others form a galaxy
of portraits whose brilliant careers
as college journalists were indicative
each of their future success. Such
was the past of college journalism
and its victories.
Never was the trdb journalistic and
iterary taste and ambition at

The students ~ have taken a firm
bold of the work of publishing their
Georgia University Magazine, and
the energy they have thus far shown
in pushing the enterprise has rarely
been equalled in all the history of
college journalism. The camera of
the present is scarcely broad enough
to photograph the bright and glow
ing prospect of its promised future
success.
The enterprise is a most worthy
one. Let’s all join hands around the
coming journalists of our State, and
with our cheers and co-operation,
encourage them to the loftier, harder
work which the questions of the day
demand. Who then can doubt the
power of the Present in her wooing

-Editorial Comment
The rumors are revived that Mr. In
man will retire from the presidency of
tbe Richmond Terminal company. A
gentleman well informed on railroad
matters-said this morning: “Mr. In
man is tired of the worry, and besides
that he has now got his money
invested in the interprise secure. It
has been known that in fret Mr. Inman
furnished tbe money to the Richmond
Terminal through other prices. He
knew what were the best securities, and
would at no time have lost anything:
but as 1 said, he is tired of the work
and you need not be surprised to see
him vacate in favor of another party
He can name bis successor.”

THE EXTENSION LECTURES.
wDr Boggs Starts the Ball Rolling.
Chancellor William E. Boggs has
returned jrom Atlanta where he went
to deliver the opening lecture of the
University extension in that city.
The attendance upon the first meet
ing was very much larger than ex
pected. Chancellor Boggs said in refer
ence to it:
*1 see here the evidence that tbe
University of Georgia, which was
founded almost before there was an.
opening among the tree tops of the,
primeval forest, is bound to become in
a short time the mother, not merely of
a few hundred, who may go to Athens,
but of thousands of sons and daughters
all over this state.”
The first class numbered about nine
ty members, and was an exceptionally
fine gathering of mei and women.
The earnestness of the members and
their eagerness to learn were notice
able, and in point of age the members
ranged all the way from .seventeen to
sixty.
President Slaton introduced Chan
cellor Boggs, who proceeded with his
lecture on Mental Science. In com
menting on the lecture the Atlanta
Constitution says:
Dr. Boggs was very happy in his il
lustrations of the argument on tbe dis
tinctiveness of the soul from the body.
In that connection he introduced the
famous dialogue between Socrates and
Alcibiades, in which tbe former made
the latter acknowledge that the man ia
different from bis body and the man if*
the mind. This dialogue brings up &
brood of questions pro and con and is a
great stimulus to thought.!
DR. CAMPBELL MONDAY NIGHT.
The first lecture on biology will be
delivered by Dr. John P. Campbell, of
the University of Georgia, on Monday
night at the.library parlors.
The committee will enlarge the space
allotted to the classes, so that two or
three hundred, if necessary, may be ac
commodated.
The Farmers’ Institutes were or
ganized yesterday morning at ten
o’clock at the University chapel by
Prof. H. C. White, Prof. J. B. Hunni-
cutt and others.
The crowd that greeted the lecturers
on this first meeting, was rathei small,
but what it lacked in size, it certainly
made np in enthusiasm.
It was determined that the meeting
should be an informal one, and the first
question discussed was that of reaching
tbe farmers of Georgia with these In
stitutes; the best way to go about
this matter, etc.
Many suggestions were made, but
that of Hon. A. F. Pope, of Oglethorpe
county, was by far the most practicable
and was accordingly adopted.
Mr. Pope said: “Of course, your ob-
jeet, as I conceive it, is to reach the far
mers of Georgia with the latest scien
tific truths, and you propose to do this
through the medium of lectures de
livered at the Farmers’ Institutes.
The class yon wish to lecture to is as
a matter of fact one that is hard to
draw out to such meetings as you will
hold. They look with suspicion on
anything that savors of science or high
er education. And yet they are the
the most eager class of people I ever
saw in the.rush they are making for
education of a plain and practical
kind.
“Now this is what I propose; if it is
possible these lectures should be deliv
ered alongside those of the Alliance
Lecturers who are to be put in the field
in February. The Alliance Lecturers
very naturally draw the crowd of farm
ers together, both Alliancemen and
non-Aliiancemen, and they could di
vide time easily with tbe professors of
the. State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts in the Farmers’ Insti
tute lectures.
“The great work,of .the Alliance
along the line of educaiion. True it
is not that in politics we
are seeking to remedy the ruinoas fi
nancial policy of the government, but
after all our great work is the education
of the farmer in those subjects that are
of value to him. I do not think it
would be improper for this step to be
taken, and believe that the Alliance
lectur-rs would be glad to have the
Professors of tbe State College of Ag
riculture assist them.”
Prof. White will at once go into com
munication with the olHcers of the Al
liance and of tbe State Agricultural So
ciety on this subject, and it is more
tban probable this plan will be adopted
The meeting was then finished with
thedisenssion of tbe intensive'system
of farming, in which Messrs. J. “R
Robbins, A. F. Pope, A. A. Schley
J. B. Hunnicutt, E. ’D. Newton and
others took part.
By January tbe whole scheme will
be fully mapped out, and the Farmers’
Institutes will be on the high road to
success.
THE MARKETS.
Banner Office, Athens, Dec. 12r.b.—
A poor market all arouud is today’*
story on cotton.
Liverpool opened off two sixty-
fourths on an easy market, and held the
same figures throughout the day— Al
most the same story describes the situ
ation in New York, excepting that
there was a slight recovery toward Un
close. The local market is quoted 1-16
below yesteiday on all grades with lit

Tbe week’s fluctuations have been in
limited bounds, and changes have been
so insignificant as to be scarcely worthy
of note
Receipts have continued heavy, ex
ceeding same week last year by 37,000
bales. Stock at the ports have increas
ed over last week 27,000 bales.
Well posted cotton men think that af
ter Christmas the receipis will fall off
largely, the idea being that most of tin-
crop has been rushed to market, little
remaining in the interior.

CAN’T DRINK EGGNOG.
Regular Meeting of That Organiza
tion Thursday Afternoon.
At the meeting of the Athens W. C.
T. U. there were quite a number of la
dies present.
The exercises were opened by tbe
Vice-President, Mrs. A. H. Noble.
Some very interesting and encouraging
talks were given. Several committees
were appointed to look after tbe sick.
. The question, “Can tbe members of
the'W.C.T.U. use wine on their
tables and wine and brandy in their
sauces, can they use syllabub and egg-
riog?” was brought bcforejthe meeting
and called forth quite a discussion.
One of tbe ladies spoke of a reformed
drunkard, being tempted almost be
yond his strength by wine or brandy
sauce at the table of a lady friend.
The accursed craving was brought
back to him by the taste, and ‘ what is
the difference to eat - the stuff .or drink
it?” None that I can see.
Then let the ladies be on jthe safe
side, and “touch not, taste not/" handle
not.”
Did you ever buy a .horse and not
have some misgivings as to bis points
till they were fully tested ? Not so with
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; you may be sure of
it at the start. It never disappoints
those who give it a fair and persistent
trial. -

GRAND PREMIUM OFFER!
A SET OP THE *
In Twelve Large Volumes,
Which we Offer with a Year’s Subscription
to this Paper for a Trifle More than
Our Regular Subscription Price.
Wishing to largely increase the circulation of this
paper during the next six months, we have made
arrangements with a New York publishing house
whereby we are enabled to offer as a premium to our
subscribers a Set of the 'Works of Charles Dirk*
ens, in Twelve Large and Handsome
Volume*, with a year’s subscription to this
paper, for a trifle more than our regular sub
scription price. Our great offer to subscribers
eclipses any ever heretofore made. Charles
Dickens was the greatest novelist who ever
lived. No author before or since his time h&a
won tho fame that he achieved, and his works
are even morepopnlar to-day than during
his lifetime. They abound in wit. humor,
pathos, masterly delineation of character,
vivid descriptions ol places and incidents,
thrilling ana skillfnlly wrought plots. Each
book is intensely interesting. No homesbould
be without a set of these great and remark
able works. Not to have read them is to be
far behind the age in which we live. The
dickers. get of Dickens’ works which we offer as a
ium to our subscribers is handsomely printed from entirely new plates, with new type.
te twelve volumes contain the following world-famous works, each one of which is pub
lished complete, unchanged, and absolutely unabridged :

STORIES,
OLIVER TWIST AND CREAT EXPEC*
TATIONS,
THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP AND
THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER,
A TALE OF TWO CITIES, HARD

The above are without question the most famous novels that were ever written. For a
quarter of a century they have been celebrated in every nook and corner of the civilized
world. Tet there are thousands of homes in America not yet supplied with a set of Dickens,
