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, Il!.,d< livered this speech and if it doesn’t show that the Democracy is scund on the money question, than we are ready to yield the question. Read this arilcle. It is worth your while. ; speech i 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 covers six columns, and is bright and interesting and very easily gives the reader a perfect insight into the work ings of the greatest convention ever as- w*8 aembling in this country. 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 92 —Macon EveningNews. 1 ii > Stevenson is taking like wild fire In the South. He is such a man as we of the South can afford to tie to. THKThlrd party is iuaearohof a lead er. It needs ope badly. 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. Macon Evening No^?*^ the Hi0l <r. When the Chicago National „ cratic Convention nominal J Cleveland this morning 0D lot for tbe presidency, the ^ hour mrt and the be>t interest ? \ Dt OlOiTaRF WATA Onkn ^ k Democracy were subserve,\ T , ■ servatism, sag-city a d crwi^L Demccratic p rry had quietly opinion that City- land wag lh “ r S candidate and the tinort 0 . ° ic ^ tariff reform, and with him tL*?' cratic paity would hav nuuiu nave i l0 lr . to hamper them or impede ^ to success. His nomination on' ' ballot was a signal 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. *V .v' ,e ' r - v, ndj(ati 00 t ^ honesty, ability and undaunted * tion in the dischatge ol duti, s ^ spons lilities assumed, and fr aud emphasizes the unf„;t, dence the masses Lave in hil integrity. ^ Now let all Democrats bury a l v ness and curb all factional Ji c and armed as they are, in a rjj ^ cause, there is no pow, r od earth^ can arrest the progr. ss of theij ^ qutring forces.
