BUT WILL ENTER
In the Race for the Legislature—A
Prominent Member of That Party
Talks—The Democratic Nomi
nee Will be Elected by a Big
Majority.
Friday a Danker reporter was
t'.lking to a prominent member of the
1\« pie’s party in regard to Mr. Bright-
well’s candidacy, and he was asked if
Mr. Bright well declined to run who
would be the nominee.
“We will run him anyhow” was the
response. “But I do not
believe he will decline
to serve in any oap'.gity in which be
may he called, to serve the people. Be
that as it may, we will force the nom
ination on him, and insist on bis mak
ing the race.”
“Whatabout the county officers?”
was asked.
“Well, it is my opinion that the Peo
ple’s party will not put out a ticket for
county officers. That is only my opin
ion, however. I do not know what the
action of the party will be, but 1 be
lieve that 1 am safe in saying that no
candidates will be nominated for the
county offices.”
So it may be that today’s primary will
tet!la beyond the renu test shadow of a
doubt as to who will manage the affairs
of Clarke county.
As a matter of fset, no matter who
the Third party candidate for Repre
sentative may be, the man nominated
by the Dtmocrats today, will be elected
by a heavy majority.
The day has not yet come, v-hen
Clarke county will desert the Demo
cratic party.

A SAD DEATH.
Mr.
George W. Ma<com Quietly
Breathes His Last-
Friday afternoon at six o’clock
the spirit of Mr. Geo. W. Malcom wing
ed its eternal flight and is with its
Maker.
Mr. Malcom had eull'ered intensely
for the past live weeks from typhoid
fever, and his death was not altogether
unexpected. For some daye his par
ents have constantly watched at bis
bedside,and all that loyirg hands and
medical skill could suggest was done
for his relief all of which was unavail
ing.
Mr. Malcom was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. IIsrris Malcom, of Oconee county
and was twenty-one years of age. For
the past year Mr. Ms!com has been
resident of Athene, since which time
he has made scores'of friends here. He

For quite awhile Mr. Malcom has
been the bookkeeper at Max Joseph’s,
and was held in high esteem by bis em
ployer. At the time of bis death he
was boarding at the Brad berry House
on H incook Avenue.
It is indeed sad to record the death of
one so young, so''robust, and with so
bright a prospect fora long and useful
life before him, but it is the will of Him
who doeth all things well that it should
be so.
“God’s finger touched him and he
slept.”
The bereaved parents and sorrowing
relatives have the sincere sympathies of
scores of friends in Athens in this sad
hour of bereavement, who sincerely
trust that God will bind the broken

h .
Hauled the Records.
Major Hugtaen, now night watchman
at Ihe It. & D. depot, says that in the
early days of the Confederacy he was a
conductor on the West Point railroad,
and was selected by the Superintendent
to carry a train of fourteen cars loaded
with the furniture of Jefferson Davis,
President, and the books and papers of
the Confederate government, from
Montgomery to R chmo&d. Major
Hughen started oat with all that be
longed to the Confederate government,
and got along all right until he got to a
little station in East Tennessee, when
be stopped at the station, and a union
meeting was being held. The toughs
saw the cars and the name of Jefferson
Davis in large letters qn the carriage.
A large crowd immediately made for
the train and swore they would fake
ont the carriage and other things and
burn them, Major Hugnm seeirg his
danger and while they were crowdii g
on the cars ordered the engineer to
move, and open went the valves and off
sped the train. Many shots Were fired
at the train by the infuriated mob, but
he carried the train safe through to

A Kewiird Offered*
Ottawa, Ont., July 22.*-Sandford
Fleming has offered a prize of $1,000 for
the best workable measure, which, if
made a law, wonld give the whole Ca
nadian people equal representation in
parliament, and each elector due weight
in the government through parliament.
Accordingly he invites essays on electo

The Milts «t Homestead are Fast Flli-
„ ing up.
Pittsbukq, Ju’y 22. —The steamer
Tide left the wharf here at 9 o'clock for
Homestead, with about forty men on
board, and will continue to make trips
all day, carrying men to Homestead, in
connection with the Little Bill, which
took np a load early in the morning.
The boat was guarded by a sqnad of
policemen to prevent trouble at the
wharf or at Lock No. 1.
All the morning men with satchels
and bandies were coming to and going
from tha office of the company, and it
looks us if the company were carry ing out
their intention and will make good their
claim that all men needed contd be ob
tained.
As soon as the Tide left, three men,
evidently watchers, went in the Monon-
gahela house and sent messages by the
Western Union, evidently to Homestead,
to notify the men there that the boat
had left.
The Committee Makes Overtures.
Homestead, Pa., July 22.—The ad
visory committee at the Homestead
lockout have prepared statements of its
position, in which tho committee signi
fies its recognition of law and other
percefal means as the only elements
that should have a in the settle
ment of the present trouble, and pledges
itself and the workingmen of Home
stead to refrain from violence and law
lessness. -

Temporary Organization -M, I.

Post Speaks.
Atlanta, July 20.—The People’s par
ty convention was called to order by C.
C. Post, chairman of the provisional
committee, at a few minutes after 10
o’clock. •
Mr. Post introduced tho proceedings
by stating that this was a meeting un
der pec aiiar circumstances. They had
met to nominate men to antagonize for
office to it party with which it had bqen
| their cu torn to affiliate for years.
The; would also select presidential
electors who, if elected, would cast the
vote o- 1 toorgia for a man who did not
belong 1 the ranks ot the party which
Geoiv > a electors had supported for
\ years.
j Mr. I wt said this convention would
j force -ill right thinking men to recog-
I nize he fact that grave wrongs had
been one to the people, and existed in
oar conoinic system. He said the
worli would compare the clean cut plat
form upon which the People’s party
stoot , and which was adopted at Omaha,
with the well-nigh meaningless plat-
ion: is adopted at Chicago and Minne-
apo is.
He concluded bis remarks by an
nouncing that- the committee on tempo
rary organization had presented the
name of M. L Branch, of Columbia
county, for temporary chairman, and
the names of Oscar Parker, of Falton,
and W. A Eckard, of Clinch, for tem
porary secretaries.
Mr. Branch, upon assuming the gavel,
reviewed the rise and progress of the
party for the past four years, from a
bare possibility then, to the sonnd, solid
reality of the present.
His closing remarks were in the na
ture of a prophetic vision, in which

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
THE NEW JUSTICE-
Editor How-all mid the Ex-President .
Meat for- tho First Time.
New York. July 22.—An amaslng in- !
cident which occurred during Mr. Cleve- |
land's stay in the city, was when the :
national Democratic committee called :
to pay their respects to the party nomi
nee.
Clark Howell, the brilliant yonng J
journalist who succeeded Grady on the
Atlanta Constitution, being the Georgia
committeeman, of coarse was among
the callers.
It was well known that Howell led
the southern opposition to Cleveland,
and when the Georgian and the ex-pres
ident met, they were the cynosure of all
lower part of town a manifestion that 1 eyes,
was evidence to me that the Democrats I "Here is a gentleman \Vho has been
your strongest opponent in the south, ”
said some one, as Mr. Howell was es
corted to the ex-president, and Mr. Har
iri ty added: '"t
"Mr. Howell of Georgia, Mr. Cleve
land. ”
"Oh! yes, ” said Mr. Cleveland, laugh
ingly. "I believe I have heard of Mr.
Howell before. ” -
"Yes, it is true I have been strongly
opposed to you,” said Mr. Howell. "I
fought you as hard as I could, and was
for the other man while the fight lasted. ”
"O, well,” said Mr. Cleveland, "it
would not do for us always to be of ttie
same mind. It would not be democratic.
But when those little incidents are over
and the party has spoken, I believe we
always get together again."
"Yes. that is true,” said Mr. Howell.
"Iam for you now, and so are all of
those Democrats. ”
"How does the situation look in yonr
state, Mr. Howell?” inquired the ex-
president.
"So far we have received very favor-
atye reports from Georgia, notwith
standing the encroachments of the Peo-
ple’sparty. ”
" We wilt give you Georgia by from
40,000 to 60,000, ” said Mr. Howell posi
tively, and there was a murmur of con
gratulation from the bystanders.
"Iam gratified to hear that, ” said
Mr. Cleveland, "but we counted on it,
for we have never donbted the sterling
Democrats of Georgia. ”
Thus ended the little interview, and
the Georgia journalist and the ex-presi-
dent are now engaged in a common
cause.
- ll !»U
questions and duties involved hr the
campaign. ' ' X
" I see another manifestion which rath
er confirms my views on the subject.
So far as this is personal, it is exceed
ingly gratifying to receive your hearty
welcome from the Democrats of the city
of my home. As a Democrat I am very
please-1, because it affords tue evidence
that Democracy is alive and in earnest
in the work it Inis in hand. As a citi
zen I am pledged, because I am con
vinced that the supremacy of Demo
cratic principles is necessary for the in
terests and welfare of my country.
"I am a Democrat. I feel very much
at home liere.because I am among Dem
ocrats. I have forgotten that there was
any difference of opinion. (Here the
speaker was interrupted by cheers.) I
am a Democrat, and believe in Demo
cratic •'organization. 1 hope to have the
opportunity of grasping as many of you
by hand as possible, that we may pledge
to each other that fealty which is neces
sary to secure that election which our
party demands and which will be an
earnest one of the victory to come. ”
Stevenson Grows Eloquent.
There was more applause upon the
lonclnsion of the ex-president’s speech,
and when it was over General Stevenson
said:
"I can hardly find words in which to
express my gratitude for the kindness
shown me and for the cordial reception
which I have met in this great city of
our emnt y. I mine among yon a
stranger, bnt I tame among you as a
Democrat. (A voice: "That was your

New York, July 20.—The Harrison
administration has made its first direct
overture to cx-Seoator Thomas C. Platt.
Chairman Carter went down to Mr.
Platt’s office and held a long conference ’
with the New York leader. He was
closeted with Mr. Platt for several
hoars, auiLthe conference was evidently
a satisfactory one, as Mr. Carter re
turned to the Fifth avenue hotel in a
very cheerful mood. Neither Mr. Platt
nor Mi. Carter would talk, about it.
Mr. Carter left at midnight for Wash
ington.
Mr. Carter’s visit to the Tioga states
man perhaps means that the President
needs Mr. Platt’s services in the cam

Whitelaw Reid and Dr. Depew called

that they discussed the advisory com

"We enter this contest under the
leadership of Grover Cleveland with the
determination to place that state in the

I never cau forget the demonstration

More cheers followed, and then began
handshaking. After the handshaking,
the candidates took their departure, and
then the chib men and their friends sat
down to a banquet, and as they touched
glasses drank to the Democratic national
ticket.

George Slilras, Jr., of Pennsylvania, Gets
on the Supreme Court Bench.
Washington, July 20.—The president
has nominated George Shiras, Jr., of
Pennsylvania, to be justice of theUnited
States supreme court.
Mr. Shiras is a leading member of the
bar of Pittsburg, where he was born
sixty years ago. He was a member of
the famous class of ’53 at Yale, and
graduated with distinguished honors,
and after studying law was admitted to
practice in 1856 in Pittsburg, where he
has since resided. He has never held
public office, nor has he ever served on
the bence. At the instance of his friends
he was a candidate for the United States
senate at one time, lm*; was defeated by
Mitchell; His nomiiYtion ws warmly
endorsed by prouiiaeuc Republicans and
business men oi Pittsburg, and by Rep
resentative DalzAl, iu whose district he
lives. He is a pronounced Republican,
hut has never been very active in poli
tics. The president and attorney gen
eral have only a casual acquaintance
with him, and as tho latter expressed it
he was selected solely on account of his
high legal attainments and personal in
tegrity.
HONORED A DRAFT.
Conscience Money Returned to a Ten
nessee Man by a New Yorker.
Nashville, Tenn., July 23.—E. J.
Jordan, an aged and well known citizen
of Murfreesboro, has just received
$1,000 uuder interesting circumstances.
Mr. Jordan was, before the war, a lead
ing cotton shipper, and dealt with New
York purties. It seems that in some
way the book keeper for the New York
firm made a mistake of $1,000 in favor
of the firm, but he kept quiet about it.
Recently, however, his conscience be
gan hurting him, and a week ago he
Wrote to Mr. Jordon, telling the facta.
The New Yorker also said that he was
growing old, and had plenty of money;
in fact that he was rich, and that he
frit ’.ike he ought to retnrn the ill gotten
money, and he requested Mr. Jordan to
make a draft, on him for $1,000, and that
it wonld be honored. Mr. Jordan, not
half expecting to realize anything, made
the 'draft, and has just received notice
that the draft bad been honored.
Heavy Unln iu Macon.
Macon, Ga., July 20.—A tremendous
rain and thunder storm broke over the
city about 8:30 o’clock p. m. For an
hour the lightning was almost continu
ous and very vivid, accompanied by
sharp claps of thnnder. Several bolts
were felt in and near the city, bnt no
damage to any great extent has been re
ported.' The cellars on . Fourth street
near the union depot were flooded ont
with abont six feet of water. Below the
Commercial hotel everything was float
ing, and a large stock-of liquor was sub
merged. The flood was caused by the
incapac-ty of the sewers to carry off the
volume of water which poured into the
cellars and created considerable alarm.
The water is slowly draining off, bat
the loss will be large.
