WHY NOT GET TOGETHER.
There is absolutely no use in tbe
di\ivoa now existing among Demc-
craia in Georgia ; there is no necea
sity for it, neither is there a shadow
of an excuse for it. The policy that
would divide the white people of the
South is suicidal; it means the de
struction of the best interests of aH
the citize:s ot the State.
The cities and the country should
go hand in hand in the work of up*
building the State, for what is help
ful to the one is helpful to tbe other
and what is injurious to the one is
injurious to the other. And besides,
the division is more fanciful than
real. If the Democracy of Georgia
would only stop and think a little
while, the truth of the assertion
would be made so plain that >( a way
faring man though a foci need not
err therein.” Both classes are la
boring for the same end and the
^principles for which they fight are
one and the same.
There is no difference when ir
.comes to the tariff ; all are of the
same opinion on this subject That
the tariff, on the necessaries of life
should be removed entirely, no true
Demccrat in Georgia will deny ; and
all will admit that the tariff should
^be reduced to a strictly revenue
bas’s.
As to free silver, there is practi
cally no difference between them
The sentiment of G orgia is over
whelmingly in favor of the free coin
age of silver and the restoration ol
silver as a money metal on a parity
with gold.
The ciiie3 are just aajuacK in ia-
^wjo£^aa-5rBt5feaee of the circulating
edium as the farmers are, and a
ciple that demands through the
platform the increase of tbe
circulating medium to not less than
fifty dollars per capita is sound:
The demands of the farmers that
the governmental expenses be re
duced to a plane of absolute and
rigid econ'omy meet with hearty con
currence in the cities. The people
of the cities are heartily in favor of
the economic administration of af-
faiia.
The cities do not believe in the
fostering of monopolies; they believe
jpst as firmly as do tbe farmers in
the doctrine of “equal rights to ail
and special privileges to none.”
Tne doctrine of financial relief
finds as hearty support in the cities
as it does in the country. Georgia
is p'edged to this doctrine. .
The truth of the matter is that the
idea of there bang antagonism be»
tween the two classes is a fanciful
one; tbe real difference between them
can only be discovered by microsoo*
pie examination.
All ARE FIGHTING 'FOB THE SAME
rhiKUPLKs. Then why can’t we
GET TOGETHER ?
We can get together; we can heal
the breach; we can adopt a platform
in Georgia upon which all classes
and conditions, all divisions and
’actions can stand ; the National
Democratic convention can adopt a
tform that will voice the true sen
t of the people. And all this

SHAKE. BROTHER JOHNSON
The Oconee Enterprise talks with
tfce bark on in its last issue, and
situated as it is in the midst of a
strong opposition to Democracy, the
editorial is to be highly commendc d.
A few more Democrats like Editor
Johnson to talk Democracy in spite
of opposition, and tbe old Slate
would be entirely safe.
The Enterprise says:
We have always been a loyal De
mocrat. With tbe first issue of this
paper we pledged our heart and
hand to the Democratic pa-ty. We
have faithfully, sacredly kept the
promise.
In this hour when scheming poll
ticians and ambitious mi n are try
ing to create a division in the ranks
of the grand old party we are proud
to state that we are a Democrat

WHERE THE VICTOR WILL BE NOMI
RATED.
Work was begun last Wednesday
on the big wigwam at Chicago for
the Democratic National convention
The Herald says it is to be loca
ted on the lake front, whete it will
be swept by the- breezssof the lake
in their full freshness and purity
In size and convenience it is certain
to meet the requirements of the great
occasion. Chicago is in tfce habit of
of rushing up its big buildings with
incredible speed, and the beginning
of the work now*is suggestive of the
fact that the convention is tear at
hand. What will be the outcome of
itb proceedings it is impossible to
say. It is certain, of course, to nom
inate a candidate who is dedicated
to tariff reform, and the building
which it is held may yet be as mem
orable in history for the nomination
of a man whose elec ion freed the
nation from its infamous tariff sys
tem as the wigwam in which was
nominated Abraham Lincoln, whose
proclamation freed some of tbe slaves
It is certain, in any event, to contain
a notable gathering. The Hera'
says there will be room enough for
all; and though Illinois has a fa
vorite son. of her own, Chicago can
promise that everybody shall have
fair play and be treated with the ut-
m st courtesy.

OVER IN CAROLINA.
The South CarolinaPrcs3 is giving
some round advice on the subject of
Third partyism. The Greenville
Daily News has the following to
say:
1 he alliance men who propose to
establish a Third party in this State
are doing two things. They are
wrecking the alliance and are work
ing to put the people in political sla<
very to a combination of Repnbli
cans and Representatives of money
power,
A number of Democrats of the
State who oppose the present admin
Miration have worked hard to pre
vent a split among the white people.
They understood the danger of hav-
Irae, that the unfortunate conditi* n
of the working people has grown
out of legislation, and the main pur
pose of the muss of delegates was to
devise soma plan of counter leghli-
lion and organize a party to put it
in operation. The men whojoirei
in this view do not look to any radi-
cal change in either the form or ge
nius of the Government as at pres
ent organized, and are therefore as
essentially different from the theo c
re ic individualists and socialists
with whom they are confederated, as
are those extremists from each other.
The Democratic party is the party
of the people. It has purpes s in
common with the conservative mass
es, from which the People’s party
expects its recruits. To these masses-
it offers a political home, the tran
quility of which is threatened in
no extremes of opinion and radical
purpose, as is the new party. The
hope ot successful reform is much
more reasonable when sought t hroug'
the Democracy than through any
scheme of a new organization. For
a generation the Dtmacratic party
has been the enemy of trusts, com
bines, and privileged creations o'
Republican legislation. Now, in the
hour when triumph is near, how fool
ish to abandon and withdraw sup
port from the true reform party oi
American history. Against the com
mon enemy the conservative elements
of society can make common cause
only through the Democratic party.
It seems to have escap'd the mind
of the voters who have joined thi
People’s party for the purpose of se
curing reform that there can be no
more effective means to defeat the
end they strive for than to seggregate
themselves from their fel ow-suffer
era who compose the Democratic
party. It is an old maxim of the
tyrant, ‘-Divide and conquer,” anti
it is as sound in
that this very clearly dem:nstrates
the fact why the pension plank was
put in the St. Louis platform and
the tariff plank left out.
Tariff reform and peusions don’t
go together. They are as wide apart
as the East and the West.
Now which does the Southerner
desire , to accomplish tariff reform
and benefit himself through the
Democratic party, or to perpetuate
ihe tariff and the pensions through
the Third party ?
Editorial Comment
Tine persions now amount to about
$140,000,0' 0 a year. Of this amount the
ten Southt rn States pay $4,000,000 to
each state. Divide that by 137, the
number of counties in Georgia, and it
makes a little over $27,000 for each
county each year, almost every dollar of
which goes North and West. Now,not
satisfied with the already enormous
sums received, the Third party is ask
ing hundreds of millions more for the
men who “marched through Georgia,”
leaving a trail of blackened ruins and
d ‘solution in their wake.

Thanks for the compliment, Brother
Stanton. In this hour of peril to the

The lines are drawn pretty definitely
now in Georgia politics. It is a mere
questirn whether the farmers love the

as the opponents of Governor Till
man are concerned, there is no cause
to fear that the unity and strength
of the white race will be destrnye 1.
If any considerable number of tbe
white people go into a Third party,
however, tbe split will have come.
Then it will be a question which di
vision of the white people will con
trol and handle the negro vote.
WE HOPE WE ARE NOT OFFICIOUS-
In seeking to impress the necessity
of a call of the Democratic Execun
tive Committee of the Eighth Con
gressional district we hope we are
not officious. We deem it proper,
however, as a Democrat to caH ato
tention to all things that in our hum
ble judgment will be good for the
Democratic party.
Perhaps Chairman Shannon may
not deem this step necessary, but it
dees seem to us that a meeting ot
this committee would come in very
well just now.
The Democracy of the Eighth is
getting in fighting trim and its Ex-
tcutive Committee should lose no
lime in getting down to business.
A well-organized campaign in the
Eighth means a sweeping Democrat
ic majority.
THE PEOPLE’S PARTY.
The National Democrat, an ably
edited paper of Washington, D. C,
has the following to say,which should
be carefully read by every one who
iis seeking to leave the Democratic
party :
The People’s party may how be
considered as fairly launched upon
the political tide, and whatever may
Tie lacking In organization will be
supplied by the active and hopeful
members. Candidates will probably
be named for President and Vice
President on the 4th et July and in
all parts of the country here and
there will be found local candidates,
and occasional fu’l State tickets.
Whatever may be said ot the Peo
ple’s party it cannot be charged that
it is sectional in its make-up or
men bersbip. But whether it has
yet fully assimilated the St L-uia
platform in all its parts is a matter
of grave doubt.
There is no doubt that a majority
of those present were honestly seek-
camps, then it becomes a matter o
reasonable certainty that the Repub
licaus will continue to admm'stei
the - government and maintain iL
force the obnoxious laws against
which the Third party is in rebellion
How can any reasonable man bi
misled into destroying the pn spec
of reform by casting his vote to th
dogs ? The Democratic party hat
always been the party of ieform, and
as such has always represented the
people in all its struggles for pun
government and l'ght taxes. As
such it ap[ eale to the unselfish pa
triotism of.all who earnestly desir
to preserve the Government of the
fathers as it has descended to us.
But it repels those who believe no re
reform possible without radical
change in the structural plan of thi
Government, and therefore offers no
chromo to rad.cal theorists, whi
compose either extreme of the peo
ple's party.
PENSIONS AND TARIFF-
Did you ev r slop to think whj
tbe North we item States are so
strongly Republican, and why there
is so little chance -of winning them
over to Democracy ?

such a eec Jon of tie country. Then
why do they cli ig so tenaciously to
the tariff and to Republicanism ?
The reason is as plain as the cost

this section are numeious. The.*

dollars in pens’on money every year,
while Georgia pays about that
amount and get3 nothing. To get
this pension money a protective tarifl
is necessary, for it can only be raised
by tariff or direct taxation, and the
latter would cause revolution, and
the former ought to cause it.
Without the tariff no pension steal*
ing ; with it the South can be drain
ed of a large portion of its wealth.
That is the milk in the cocoanut;
that is the reason why the North,
western States, having no interest in
the protective tariff, still cling *o te
naciously to it. And you are not
going to shake them off by a Third
party so long as they can get so
much-.pension money.

Macon Evening News.
The Republican party is alone res
ponsible for ihe financil calamities with
which the agricultural and commer
cial elements are burdened, and their
wanton extravagance has entailed the
very conditions that made the Third
party a possibility.
Availing themselves of the universal
unrest the Republicans hammered out
an ingenius scheme to overthrow Dem
ocratic ascendancy in the South and
tbe Third paity is the result of their
plotting.
In their anxiety for relief the farmers
haver forsaken the very part}
through whose principles anti
policy the relief they covet is obtaina

ocratie faith and laboring steadfastly
for its ultimate triumph, they are un
fortunately duped into accepting the

and not make the party a sacrificial of

scrnpulous political bosses.
Tbe Democratic principles are all
right, what the voters need is to put
men in office who will enforce those

The Third party on which they lean
is but a broken reed at the best and can*

and creating legislation.
Let them cling with unquailing cour
age to that faith that shone a bright
lone-star during tbe dark days of re
construction, that inspired the hearts of
patriotic Southerners and has alway
been our only bulwark against the po

let them not, when the moment is ripen

mocking delusion of a band of hire
lings and political tricksters, with but
the flesh pots as tbeir motive and inspi
ration.
Philadelhhia is a grei>t city. At

man can mount an open car, rife five

with a capital of one billion dollars and
money were loaned at two per cent.:
there are plenty of men who aretidvo-

borrow ten cents. The collateral must
be deposited first, and a man must have

on crop. The circulars are not sent
broadcast throughout the cotton belt,
but to parties whose knowledge would
be relied upon as full and accurate and
in no case misleading. In reply to the : e
circulars the Republic publishes reports
from about eighty counties, all
showing bad weather and decrease in
acreage. There is one exception, that
being furnished by Cleburn county, in
Arkansas, which reports an increase of
120 acres in tbe amount planted. Every
other county reports large decrease,
and every county, with the exception of
two, reports worse cotton weather tbau
this time last year. The grand result is
that out of more than 3,200 plantations
n ported in the returns from Texas,
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
there is a decrease in acreage of more
than 40,000 acres, which is an average
decrease of about 30 percent, from their
crops of last year.
Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people In rnu
down or weakened statu of health derive
bom Hood’s Sarsaparilla, conclusively pnsv#»
tbe claim that this medicine “makes the weak
strong.” It does not net fike a stimulant,
Imparting fictitious strength from wkloh there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but In the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetMo, purifies tbe blood,
and, In short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
