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. Col. Morton will have a walk-over.

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 P'sse'sed a happy ing of a genial natuf ation and esteem off c mie in contact,! Malcom was position and be- , won the admir- [1 with whom he T/know George to love him 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 bl eding heatts, and sanctify this sad i llliction to the goed of all who"are mourning the death of this noble young man.

MAX JOSEPH. THE CARNESV1LLE TRIBUNE. •* Its Trade Issue a Great Success. Fi nancially and Otherwise. Our peopli will remember that a few days ago Mies Ella J. Dortch, the tal ented and accomplished editor and pro- prietorof the Carnesville Tribune, was in the effy for the purpose of getting up advertisements and notes for the trade issue edition of her paper. The paper is before us, and we are glad to note that it is acomple’e success. It is well illustrated, the articles are well written, and it bears the evidence of prosperity. We cocgratulate M’ss Dortch on this achievement, and take this occasion to say that the Democratic party does not possess a more comp ?- tent or more patriotic writer than the f8ir proprietor if the Tribune.

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 Rohmond. |mf. 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 ral representation and the rectification of parliament, accompanied by a draft of a bill applicable to the country, and with a parliamentary system similar in Tal features to that of Canada. 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. - Paulson Made No Chance.

Georgia Delegation in Convention Temporary Organization -M, I. Branch. Chairman—C- C. 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 Gordon, Colqnitt. Northern and others “A LOVE tFEAST. SStr Cleveland and Stevenson Entertain ed at Harlem. New York, July 22.—Grover Cleve land and Adlai E. Stevenson smoked the calumet with the Sagamores of Harlem, where a reception was tendered the two leaders of the Democratic party. It was a great time for the people of Har lem, and not a Democrat of any nolo in the annexed district was absent Responding to welcoming addresses, • Mr. Cleveland said: "I came hero to see you—if not to talk to yon. At the same time 1 can hardly do less than to thank you for this warm and cordial welcome. I witnessed in the 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.

CARTER VISITED PLATT. Their Conference Wna Evidently Sa tie- factory—ReVd and Mope w Vi.lt. Carter 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 paign. . Whitelaw Reid and Dr. Depew called on Chairman Carter. It is understood, that they discussed the advisory com mittee, which will have charge of rais ing fnuds for the campaign. This com mittee will consist of four members from outside of the executive tee. _ united and that there ore no factions or differences, but that all are united ou the candidates nominated by the Chi cago convention. I will bear back to my own state tidings of the manifesta tions I have seen here tonight. I will tell the Democrats of Illinois, which once had the great leader, Douglas, as the acknowledged leader of the party In that great state. "We enter this contest under the leadership of Grover Cleveland with the determination to place that state in the Democratic colnmn at the uext election. I never cau forget the demonstration last night or yonr reception. ” 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.

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.

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. SELF PRAISE. Self praise is no recommendation, but there are times w ! ,n one must permit a person to tell the truth aboa himself. When what he says is support* d by the testimony of others no reason! hie man will doubt bis wo: d. N - w, to say that Allcock’s Porous Plaseers are the only genuine and reliable porm s plas ters made is not self praise in the slight est degree .They h^ve stood he test for over thirty years, and in 1 roof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the cures they have * fleeted and to the voluntary testimonials of those who have used them. Beware of imitation?, and do not be deceived by. misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock s, and let no solicitation or explanation Induce-youto accept a substitute. THE INVESTIGATION. Democrats and Republicans AreCIOM Together on the Pinkerton Question W ashington, July 22.—The Home stead Pinkerion investigation will be resumed by the special committee ot the house committee on judiciary, and the Pinkertons will be given an oppor tunity to explain and defend the work ings of their systea Chairman Oates received a telegram from the Pinkerton agency, saying that Robert Pinkerton would be present. The Republican members ot the committee agree with the Demo cratic members iu their antagonism to the Pinkerton system of sending armed men from one state to another, and both political elements on the committee appear to be close together in their opinions with respect to the powers and pro duce of congress in tne matters un der investigation. Chairman Oate’s views have been stated heretofore. Mr. Broderick (Re publican,) of Kansas, agrees with Ur. Oates that congress cannot interfere in the trouble between Oarnigie and Frick and the workingmen, but can, because of the interstate principle involved, take some-action on the Pinkerton system.
