THE MAIN ISSUES-
The editorial of Mr. Dana in the
York Sun in reference to the
Force bill is one that should be read
by every Southern white naan. If it
is read and digested, there will be
no division in the ranks when the
voting comes in November.
This editorial was reproduced in
yesterday’s Banner and it breathes
of an honest, earnest effort in behalf
of the Stuth.
The Democratic party has even
gone so far as to subordinate the
tariff to i s denunciation of the Force
bill, very wisely considering that
nothing can be more injurious to the
nation than the utter destruction oi
lha liberties of Southern white men
The tariff issue is clearly drawn
and puts the Democracy fairly and
squarely in favor of tariff reform.
There is no mincing of words in
this plank. It is plain, out spoken
and 'errlees, and will be a winning
is me in November.
Read the silver plank and alio
near what Mr. Garrard, of Georgia,
a member of the platform committee
has to say about it. The interview
with Mr, Garrard is reproduced in
another column. Read it and you
will be satisfied that the demands o'
the South were listened to with the
greatest deference and that nearly all
the Georgia platform was incorpora
ted in the Chicago platform.
The platform is everything we
could wish it to be.
DEMOCRATIC ENTHUSIASM.
Now that the smoke of the battle
at Chicago has cleared away, Demo
crats iu all sections of the country
are girding on their armor for a mos
vigorous campaign.
While there were honest differences
of opinion as to who was the mo3t
available man as the Democratic
standard-bearer, since the conven
lion has spoken, all are united new
as one man for Cleveland.
Even Tammany Hall Democrats
whi fought Mr. Cleveland to the last,
speak in no uncertain tones in theii
devotion to the cause and the Chi
cago nominees, and will do all in
their power to carry New York for
Democracy.
Ratification meetings are the or
der of the day, and in many cities
North and South, monster gather
ings of this kind are being held
Our Georgia exchanges are aglow
w.th enthusiasm, and doubtless,
grand ratification meetings will be
held in all the principal ci'.iea and
towns of the State at an early day.
The Democrats of Athens and
Clarke county are not a whit behind
their brethren in other parts of the
State iu their loyalty to the great
party of the people, and we have no
doubt that arrangements will be
made to hold at an early day a regu-
ular Democratic jubilee here in the
Classic Ci y.
Will not President Burnett make
a call for a speedy move in this di
rection? Let the ball begin in North
East Georgia by the Young Men’s
Democratic Club of Clarke county
getting up a big ratification meeting.
Let the people come together un
der the banner of Cleveland and Ste
venson,^ the great fight against Re
publican iniquity and misrule. Let
the men of OJarke county and North
east Georgia forget all past cliff r-
cnces as to available leaders and
work for the overthrow of the party
of fraud, extravagance, force bills
and other infamies, and restore to
power the great party which has al
leys stood for the rights of the peo-
pie and an honest administration of
the government.
What say the Democrats of Ath
ens ? Shall we not have an early
ratification meeting ? And will not
the Young Men’s Democratic Club
suggest a suitable time for this grand
Democratic love-feast, where we
shall have glowing talks from some
of Democracy’s gifted orators ?
TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
Mr. Harrison might as well begin
to make other arrangements,
says the Memphis Appeal. He
will never reach the goa 1 , welter
weighted with McKinleyism and the
force bill. His own party is palpa
bly tired of him. His administra
tion has been a carnival of jackdaws.
The public treasury has been rifled
as it never was before. The great
surplus left by the Cleveland admin
istration has been legislated into the
pockets of the Republican party.
Mediocrity has put on a kingly
crown and the small fry are wearing
the purple'of the CaeBars. We have
been carried disgracefully near a
war with a cripple in order that our
executive might pose as the Son of
Mars. The most relentless protec
tive measure ever devised by the
combined greed of the republic has
been fastened upon the people, and
the Republican party asks ns to re
elect Benjimsn Harrison in order
that its pledge to enact a force bill
may fce carried into effect, and the
sole control of our national and con
grcssional elections handed over to
a single party for an indefinite pe
riod. The people will not do it.
There is another choice. The star
of Cleveland salutes them both as
morning and evening star. It is the
harbinger of the rule of the people.
It means economy, the re* urn of the
government to the hands of the peo
ple, and the triumph of the poor
over the rich. It means peace with
honor, and justice to the masses,
TLere is no reason to believe the
people will not see that star and fol
low its beckoning beams, lor it is
the symbol of freedom prosperity and
honor.
ALL THE VOTES OURS-
Palmer and other enthusiastic ad
herents of Cleve'and declare that he
can win this year without the elec
toral vote of New York, rays the
Macon Te’.egraph. It would be a
blessed thing if Democracy could
triumph without the help of the Em
pire State of the Union. The DemB
ocratic party may sweep the country
this year as a great tidal wave, but
we must not be over-confident. We
can win, but it will require hard
work to do it. We are engaged in
no child’s play. We must make an
active and aggressive campaign. If
we do this, then our victory will be
overwhelming. All the orans for
Democratic success are favorable.
The future is full of promise,
There will be 441 votes In the next
electoral college, and the party that
gets 223 votes wins the fight. How
many can the Democrats reasonably
hope to ob'ain. Cleveland will cer
tainly carry every state this year
that he did in 1888. That, then, will
give him 175 votes. This includess
the solid South, New Jersey, Dela
ware and Connelicut. Under the
new electoral law it is claimed that
he will get 8 votes from Michigan.
This would run his total up to 1»3
votes, or 40 short of the necessary
number to elect. New the 36 votes
of New York would run upthe total
219. He must get 4 votes somewhere
else. Where?
From Indiana, perhaps, or from
Iowa or Illinois.
Indiana has 15 votes, Illinois 24
and Iowa 14 Either of these three
States, with those mentioned above
wonld give us the victory, and votes
to spare.
But how can we win without New
York? In this possibly:
The Southern States, New Jersey,
Delaware and Connecticut,175 votes;
Michigan, 8; Indiana, 15; Illinois,
24, Iowa, 13; Massachusetts, 15 and
Montana 3. This gives a tidal of
253 votes, or 30 more than necessary
to elect. We can therefore, lose Indix
ana and Ma 'Sachusetts and still win
or we can lose Illinois and retain
Indiana and Massachusetts and
win.
has never been a platfottn promulga
ted by a party that breathed a live
lier interest in the affairs of the toil
ing masses.
From beginning to end it is a clear
demonstration of the fact that the
Democracy is the party of the peo
ple and the only bulwark between
them andoppression.
The platform evidences the fact
that the Democratic party is in
thorough sympathy with the South,
for it makes the fight on the Force
bill its leading.
Its tariff plank is no straddle. It
strikes from the shoulder as follows:
We denounce republican protec
tion as a fraud on the labor of the
g eat majority of American people
for the benefit of a few. We declare
it to be a fundamental principle of
the Democratic party that the Fede
ral government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff
duties except for the poupose of
revenues only and we demand that
the ro'lection of snch taxes shall be
limited to the necessaries of govern
ment when honestly and economi
cally ad in mistered.
Its silver plank is encouraging to
the masses It declares in favor of
gold and silver, and makes silver
legal tender, thus re-monetizing it,
That plank is as follows:
Sec. 7. We denounco the republican
legislation known as the S^rman ac*
of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift,fraught
with possibilities of danger in the fu
ture which should make all i's support
ers, as well as its author, anxious for
its speedy repeal. We hold to the use
of both gold and silver as the standard
monev of the country and to the coin
age of b-.th gold and silver without dis
criminating against either metal or
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit
of coinage of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable vslue
orhe adjusted through international
agreement orhy auch safeguards of leg
islation as shall insure the maintenance
of parity of the two metals. An equal
power cf every dollar at all times in the
ma'kets ard in the payment of debts,
and we demand that all paper
currency 'shall be kept at par
with and redeemable in such coin. We
insist upon this policy as er p'cislly ne
cessary fft protection of the farmers
and laboring classes, the first and more
defenseless victims of unstable money
and fluctuating currency.
It puts itself on record as being in
favor of an increase in the circula
ting medium by demanding the re
peal of the ten percent tax on State
banks.
It condemns the peuslon swindle,
and in its Gther sections demands
the enactment of many solutary
laws.
The platform is such a one as all
Democrats can stand on, and there
should be no further division.
WELL DONeTmrTgARRARD.
We disagree with the Atlanta
Herald when it said Georgia fared
badly by sending Hon. Louis F.
Garrard as a delegate to Chicago.
We believe that Mr, Garrard de
serves the highest meed o f praise
from the people of Georgia. He car
ried ont the instructions of the De
mocracy o f Georgia, and succeeded
well in his efforts.
Throngh his magnificent work in
the committee on platform the seev
tion was incorporated demanding
the repeal of the ten per cent tax on
State banks, thus pledging the De
mocracy to an increase in the circu.,
lating medium, and by the aid of
his efforts, the demand for the res
monetization of silver and making
it legal tender was also incorporated
in the platform, thus rendering it
sound on the question of financial
relief.
We say, well done, Mr. Garrard,
the people of Georgia will not forget
your se vice, for you have helped to
convinre the people that nearly all
of the Georgia platform was incor
porated in the National platform at
Chicago.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLAT FORM.
The Democracy has spoken and
its platform of principles is before
the people for their pernaal and rati-
ficatior, and we say without fear of
snccesafni contradiction that there
made at 2 a. m. An effort was made;
at midnight to effect an adjourn*
me it, but the protest from the gal
leries was not less positive than from
the delegates. This evidence of ear*
neatness was a happy augury of the
success of the ticket. A party whose
determination to wis is shown in
such a disposition on the part of its
convention is invincible.
WHY CLEVELAND WAS BEATEN IN
1888.
Accordingly, so far as could be
judged from the outside, the issue
made by the Republican party in ibe
campaign of 1888, which resulotd in
the election of Harrison, was diss
tinct and simple. It set itself in di
rect opposition to the public policy
which President Cleveland had enun
ciated as respects what may be cal ed
the “protected interests” of the coun
try and the pension agents. It turn
ed to those two powerful and wide
spread organization^ saying to one:
'If yon will elect our candidate to
the presidency and return us to
power, you can come to Washington
and demand such an increase of
your protective duties as you shall
see fit; and we will see that it is
given to you.” It then turned to the
army of claim agents in and about
the Pension Office, saying lo them :
Mf you will elect our candidate to
the Presidency and cause the admin
iatration of the country to come into
our hands, wo will a low you the
rec j lunder of the Treasury. Pres
ident Cleveland, as you see, bars
your way to it.” The r«sult was
that by a narrow vote President
Cleveland was defeated and General
Harris' n elected to sucie.d him.
The Republican party remrned t»
power. After it returned to power,
i he record shows that it was %a goo<
as its word. Its promises were car
ried ont* The protected interests
swarmed to Washington, and in due
time the McKinley tariff bill was re>
ported and passed. In it the de
mands of every producer, so far as
appears, who wished to iat'en at the
expense of the consumer were grat
ified. He had but to ask, and it was
given. On the other hand,the horde
of claim agents ran riot in the Pen
sion Office under ‘‘Corporal Joe'
Tanner until that Treasury which
President Cleveland left onh too ful
bade fair to be empty. The record
in this respect is one of which the
quondam soldiers of the Republic
c&Dnot well fetl proud. The Treas
ury was loo'.ed.—Chas. Francis Ad
ams, in the July Forum.
AN EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE-
The best evidence of the public
interest in Democratic conventions
was had in the fact that when the
nomination of Mr. Cleveland was
made at 3:16 o’clock in the morning,
there were still present 16,000 peo
ple, who had set through the long
hours of the n'ght without food or
water, intently watching the pro
ceedings, says the Memphis Appeal.
Avalanche. Out-of-doors a terrib'e
storm was raging, the thunder claps
and the das hi eg of the rain bei* g
enough to create a panic at almost,
any moment Yet the assemblage,
despite the hardships of the long
watch, was responsive to the last,and
he name of Grover Cleveland, when -,
ever pronounced, was the signal for
tremendous and long-protracted ap
plause, When finally the nomina
tion was made and the immense
crowd filed into the streets, every
body was happy, and their slionfs
for Cleveland brought people from
every hotel to hear the tidings.
Boarke Cochran’s great
OPEN THE STATE UNIVERSITY TO
YOUNG WUMEN-
TUe Board ot Vtsi-ors cf the Stale j
University have, by a unanimous
vote, as it is repo rted, 6ays the Co
lumbus Erquirer-Snn, adopted a
resolution ucommending that the
Legislature, by app ooriate eract-
ment, throw open that institution to
the youug worn* n of the S a‘.e,giving
them the same advantages and priv
ileges as the young men.
The Enquirer-Sun 'avors the move
meat and expresses the hope now
that the next Legislature will take
such action as will put it into early
execui in. Objections will be urgid
by many, perhaps, who insist on
clinging to the old order of things
but, so far as they have suggested
themselves to us, they are not of real
importance and should not be per
mitted to stand in the way of the
advancement and wtlfare of the
young women of Georgia.
The day has gone by in this Com
mon wealth when the young men only
constituted the hope of the State.
That era cl sed when the Legisla
ture voted money from the Treasury
to establish and maintain the Nor
mal and Industrial School for girls
at MilUdgeville. The successful in**
auguration of that noble institution
but paves the way for a still broader
and more liberal policy, which shall
yot be of le3S cost to the tax payers,
For nearly a hundred years theGeor.
gia boys have monopolized the Georo
gia University. That the advan
tages of the institution have been of
the highest value is sufficiently at
tested by the long iine of illustrious
men which it has given to the State
and the nation. It iscertaiply time
now that the Georgia girls were per
mitted to share these advantages.
They should have the same chance
for higher education, for mental de
velopment and independence, under
the care of the State. It is bat the
part of the Justice that is embla
zoned on the shield of the State. It
is in kci ping with the spirit of the
age. Is there not too much chivalry
i i Georgia to stand in the way ?
Throw wide the doors of the Univer-
si y to the youcg women as well as
the young men.
LET THERE BE HARMONY M
If there is to be opposition to any
of the county c flicers or the repie»
sentative, let there be harmony be
tween all candidates and their
friends.
If there iB to be opposition, let the
race be run upon merit and Lot upon
past issues.
We are especially desirous of see.
ing a campaign free from one par-
icular issue that can do no possible
good to be agitated just at this time
We refer to the prohibition issue.
There is nothing to be gained, for
the simple reason that that question
is settled so far as Athens is con
corned. We believe all men who
study the situation will agree that
the return of bar rooms to the city of
Athens is one of the things that is
not likely to happen, and with equal
frankness we say that the prohibi
tionists should not allow the issues
to come into these races from their
side.
Let the old lines be dropped, and
let merit be the standard by which
the candidate is judged. We do not
knew that any attempt will be made
to run candidates on this issue but
in advance of such a step we place
upon it the seal of our honest and con
scientious disapprobation.
Those of the Third patty who say
that the candidates of the Democracy
represent rne thing and the platform
another should read the article in this
issue entitled “Farmers Read This."
Hon. A. E Stevenson at Bloomirgtoh,

OS* of the best accounts of the Chi?
.cago Convention is that written by Ed-
itoh Mybick. of the Americus Times-
R* corder, in the issue of June 28tb. It

Increasing the A pproprtation Bills
Savannah Morning News.
The R: publican S, nate is doing its ut
most to increase the total of the appro
priations for this session of congress
The amount of about every appropria
tion bill sent to it by the Democratic
H.-ust has been increas-. d—in not a few
instances largely increased, '.’he House
has been trying to be economical in
making appropriations. The Senate is
trying, apparently, to be as extravagant
as possible. It is certainly not in sym
pathy with the Hon.-e with respect to
the expen liture of the public money.
No doubt the Senate has a purpose in
making the total of the aj propriatiocs
as large as possible The appropriations
of the last congress, which was R- pub
lican in both branches, amounted to a
billion of dollars. The extravagance of
t'lat congress has been very generally
condemned.
What the Republicans would like is to
have it appear that this congress is just
as extravrgint sb the last one. It looks,
therefore, as if the Republican Senate
was increasing the appropriations with
the view of robbing the Demccratic
party of an argument in the presiden
tial campaign—an argument ahowifig
Republican extravagance.
The Republican party has never hes
itafed to use the treasury to keep itself
in power. A very large part of the
pension burdt n ! g due to the efforts of
that party to tain control of their
soldier vote, ap,d now it is striving to
increase the amount of the appropria
tion bills in order to lead the couutry to
b lieve that the Democratic party is
just as extravagant as it is. Its method
of defending i‘s extravagances is a
rather costly one, but it will hardly be
successful,
Goop money means money that does
not fluctuate in value, whether it is
gold, silver or paper. It means that
every, dollar .s intrinsically equal in
value to every otter dollar, and that
paper promises to pay shall be redeem
able in this standard currency. This is
what the silver plank of the Democratic
platform calls for, and it will meet
with the approval of the business and
finanoial men of the coun'ry.
Stevenson made great reputation as
a headsman while assistant postmaster
general, and the supply of baskets for
the beads r f tbe Republican officehold
ers scarcely equaled tbe demand. It is
a good thing to have a man of that ser>
around the Democratic household and
there will be work a jlenty for him in

The DemocarLc platform.
Macon News.
TJic pi .iform adapted by the Dem- -
eratie National Couvcnt on at Chicvg *,
was no surprise tfter the nomination of
Grover Cleveland, since the spirit of
the p’atform is in harmonv with bs
public utterances and his politic.il creed.
The Ur!ft plank shows tu*t the great
Democrarc pprry has not wavered one
iota in its f slty to its prineip'es and
the battle of 1888 w ill be fought oyer
again. Tne tsr'ffp'ank no one will
deny is the dominant feature of the
platform, and the line cf campaign will
be drawn plainly along this plank. The
Democratic convention saw clearly that
the people were clamoring for tariff re
form and acting in thorough sympathy
and acccrd with its traditims
and policies, it framed a p’at
form that answered every demand. The
platform is a platform for the masses;
it is an eloquent protest against grind
ing monopoly; a plea for the 1 (boring
man as against the pernicious extortion
of the plutocrat.
This platf.rm is not tainted with the
semblance-even of Whitelaw Reidhm.
which i3 tbe quintescencoof plutocracy,
but it stands as an eloquent embodi
ment of tbe necssities of tbe toiling
mas^s and an appeal for recognition by
the government of tbeir impoverished
condit'on. The Republican platform
is a wretched effort to veil the corrup
tion, the oppression and sectionalism of
the Republican party and lucks everv
element of truth and honesty. The
Democratic party and the oppressed of
all parties will endorse and su; port the
Chicago platform.

Labor vs. Whitelaw Reid.
Augusta Ne ws.
The nomination of Wbitelsw Reid to
the se :ond place on the Republican
national tiaket is, in the eyes of the
aver, ge politician, a most daring and
unp ecedented venture.
Reid has established himself as the
enemy of org nizod labor and for thi
past two decadeB h: s openly conducted
a;wareiare upon the International Typo
graphic *1 Uuion.
S veral weeks ago Reid experierced
an external change, but down in tbe
bottom of his heart he cannet help but
retain the antagonistic spirit that ha
dominated his every action against or
ganized labor.
That he int» nded entering the politi
cal arena was the unanimous interpre
tation of his action, but it was hardly
conceivable that he would go before the
people in an el- ction. It was as equal
ly surprising that the Republican party
should take on such a burden.
The position it places the Republican
party in can not be mistaken. I he pol
iticians that compose that body of nun
mu3t know the feeling enteita:ned by
organiz *d labor toward an avowed ene
my. Therefore tbe entire procedure is
all the more .surprising.
The placing ot R^id on the ticket is
in open defi nee to this clement and it
is nosmal. body of men or few number
of votes that crrnpose it.
By their action they lose the confi-
denc s of ;he non-union voter?, and the
veil is too thin to shut out the light
from tbe int d igect ltbor advocate.
Stevenson of Illinois.
At'anta Constitution.
Tue n minatioii of G< neral Steven
son, cf Il.inoi3, for v.ce president will
be received throrglio.it the country
with the same enthusiasm which ic ex
cited here.
General Stevenson’s liberal financial
views fre thoroughly in sympathy with
those of the Uemoiratio masses, and
o nnot fail to please the silver states.
His disirict has a republican inajarity,
but his popularity enabled hiui to over
come it and set ve h:s devoted constit-
uent* with distinction in congress.
During his term ol office under Presi
dent Cleveland as fourth assistant post
master general he showed rare execu
tive ability, and his tetivity in “turn
ing tbe rascals out” is bitterly remem
bered by the republicans to this day.
Und»r all the circumstances, we have
no hesitation in pronouncing Steven
son’s nomination the best that could
have teen made. It will delight the
great state of Illinois, and the country
at la’ge will be well pleased with it.
Our nominee for the second place on
the ticket is a brainy state?man, a man
of nerve, ai d one of the favcr.te sons of
the west. His name materially strength
ens our chances of winning, and it is
Bafe to say that Cleveland and Steven
son will carry the doubtful states and
ride into office on the most tremendous
wave of popular reform that ever swept
from orient to Occident.
American Magnanimity.
Macon Telegraph.
An incident occuired in the national
Democratic convention in Chicago yes
terday that cannot but chailengo the ad
miration of ali lovers of magnanimity.
In the midst of their labors, which
were naturally exciting, the co vention
paused to pay a tribute of sympathy to
an American citizen wko-e tow< rlr g in
tellect has made himprc-eminjntly tbe
foremost figure in American politics for
many years A resolution of sympathy
for James G. Blaine in the affliction
that has so suddenly befallen him in the
dc a;h of his favorite son, was introduc
ed and pissed unanimously.
The circumstance was f?.r out of the'
ordinary, and cannot but be accepted by
him as a compliment heyoi d price. F. r
a great rorgregatiou of representative
Americans of opposite political faith to
put their official seal of admiration
upon this great American was a tribute
that should prove a oemfort in his in
clining years.
No true Americfn would deny him
any consolation that this just tribute
could bung.
