General Fields, the candidate of the Third parly for Vice President has been interviewed by a reporter of the Richmond Dispatch. Ac cording to this interview, the Gen eral thinks his party will assuredly carry North and Sooth Carolina and Georgia and Texas, and elect a ma jority of the members of corgress When the question was asked as to which party his party would draw from in the South, he said from the Democrats, of course. “Ye3,” said the General, “we will get the electo ral vote, as I said, of North and South Carolina, and Georgia and Texas. If my ticket does not, I am satisfied that Cleve’and will not and Harrison will carry these States ” He further claimed that Mr. Har rison was likely to carry the electo ral vote of Virginia, saying that Re publicans would stick closer to their ticket than Democrats. In speaking of the National out* look General Fields claimed that Harrison would carry more States than Cleveland,and that the election would be thrown into the House ot Representatives. <*TheD,” said the reporter, “your ticke’, in your opinion, will cause tiie defeat of Cleveland ?” The General smilingly remarked: “I don’t say that, fir, but I say this: While we may not win this fight we will build up a grand party from both of the old parties and succeed in the next Presidential election Ye3, the Lsmocrat# will suffer more in the South than the Republicans on account of our party.'’ Thie, then, is .the candid admis sion ot a man in a very exalted po sition in the Third party. He ad xnits that all that his party can hope to accomplish is to help elect Harri son and thus defeat Cleveland. And ye’, can it ba that there are Southern men, and Georgians too Who have been led away from the party of the people—the only Na tional party that » willing to aid or jBjt benefit the South—and are willing ^Br to unite with General Field and his followers in assisting Harrison to defeat Cleveland, thus paving the way for the Force bill ? This is a prominent plank in the Republican platform. Men of Georgia, are you willing to cast your fortunes with a party whose leaders avow that their only hope is to secure the triumph ol Republicanism—a party that has oppressed the South in the past, and whose robber tariff and other in iquitous measures are new grinding our farmers to the earth, and who threaten us with the Force bill and all its attendant evils ? General Fields’ predictions will iaiL A gallant fight all along the line will put to flight the Rcpub'l cans and Thiid partyites. Every vote for the Third party will aid the Republicans, as the General said, bat we cannot see how Southern men can vote with any each party. irg of the attempted assassination, gave vent to boisterous demonstra tions approvirg the act; whereupon the commanding officer hsd severe punishment inflicted upon the sym- thiser with the anarchist. He was burg up by the thumbs for a half hour, bis head partially shaved, and then dismissed in disgrace. The act of this anarchist compli cates the existing troubles. We do nut lor one moment believe that the strikers had anything whatever to do with this rash act, and .vet it will no donbt injure their caused as the e .emies of the laboring men will en- deavor to make it appear that they were responsible for the work of this lawless anarchist. The fact of this attempted assas sination by a man of the same s’ripe as the Chicago bomb-throwers, indi cates that trouble may be expected at any time from this turbulent class, who are becoming altogether too numerous. This man, like others of his kind, came from a land where anarchic and nihilistic notions were imbibed, and he dares to putin prac tice his early teachings. Since the outbreak in Chicago, this dangerous element has increased until it has become a menace to the country. The Homestead workmen will no doubt suffer for this lawless act, but ' he significant lesson taught by it is —and none know this better than capitalists—that with these anarch ists in the country no interest is safe while a pistol ball or a dynamite bomb may be employed to accom plish their ends. Vigorous measures shoald be employed to rid the coun try of their presence. Repnbiic&h corruption ifi the past and in this campaign the fight is Still on. The drainage from Federal taxation is where the oppression comes ioj and the Democratic plat form in ringing terms denounces the robber tariff and the other iniquities which Republicans have heaped npon the South. The pension swindle alone takes hnadreds of thousands of dollars from Georgia farmers every year, and then added to this 's the hard earnings filched from t heir pockets and transfeired to the pockets of bloated Northern and Eastern manufacturers, protected by the robber larriff, and we have the whole secret of the drains which have wtll-nigh crushed the Southern people. The Republican parly is the author of tbe system of taxation which so oppresses the people, and to correct the evils of the iniquitous system is the purpose of the Demo cratic party. There is no chance for relief by affiliation with the Third party as it makes no attack on the plundering schemes ot Republicanism. The great question of deliverance from our crushing burdens is wrapped up in the overthrow of the robber tariff, and an equitable adjustment of tax ation and an economical administra tion of tbe government. This can only be reached by defeating tbe Republicans aud securing a Demo* ratio president and congress. Let every patriotic Southern man aid in this great work. the BANtikR shall adhere t6 the poli cy it first announced of fheetingeach question with argument and hot ■ buse; bnt at the same time it has no terms to tnakewi h the Third parly, regarding that orgsn'zation in the results it will produce as au enemy to the best interests of the South. There are enough Democrats in Georgia to lay the Third party in the .grave to which Fate will con sign it, and in tbe work of bringing them out and polling the full Dem ocratic vote of the State, the Ban ner will do its duty. We are at qur poBt to stay; day and night will we labor as long as there is vou hsafed to us strength enough to wield a pen; we are at the service of the organized Democracy of the Eighth district and of Geort gia ; and until the battle is over, work is onr watchword. y THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. The troubles at Homestead be tween Carnegie and bis workingmen have been watched with intense in terest in all sections of the Union. The sympathies of the people have been with the workingmen*from the first, and this sympathy was inten sified by the means employed to overcome the strikers. The employ ment of the Pinkertons was some thing new and the fact of these arm. ed hirelings being brought forward to quell the disturbances, met with indignant denunciations from all sections of tbe country. A sensational development in tho Homestead troubles was the state ment published in Sunday’s Banner that Mr. Frick, the manager of the Carnegie works bad been fired npon and wounded by an assassin. The deed was performed by a Russian 'Jew, an anarchist. One of the sol diers on duty at Homestead, on hear- A V1C0R0US CAMPAIGN- There is not even a remote proba bility of Third party success in Geor gia, save here and there in certain localities, but Democrats must not be content with simple victory, says the Augusta Chronicle. It must be a triumph so overwhelming and de cisive as to wipe this Third Party delusion from the face of the earth. To accomplish this Democrats must make this a vigorous and aggressive ■ampaign. They must fight to win ind they must push tbe fighting. It leed not be a campaign of bitterness nr party rancour. There is no need for this. Better a campaign of edu cation and reason. The people sgainst whom Democrats must fight are thcmeelvea Democrats at heart, aud they loveGeoigia and the South. They do not need to be abused. They need to be convinced that the remedy they have been induced to try is not the true remedy, but will result in greater injury to the South and more distress to themselves than they have ever known. They need to have it made plain to them that the leaders who are per suading them to desert tbe Demo cratic party are false leaders, acta, ated by personal greed for office rather than solicitude for the dis tress of their fellow men. Against these false leaders the fight mast be made fearlessly, vigorously and plainly. To their imposed»upon fol lowers Democracy mast stretch oat her hands and open her doors. For the insincere and nnscrupnlonB tea chers uncompromising war. For their misled disciples the olive branch of peace. THE QUESTION OF RELIEF* The Banner has never questioned the sincerity and honesty of our toil ing farmers, who, stiaggling against manifold difficulties, have only be come the more deeply involved in debt and financial distress, and are consequently ready for almost any move that may have a semblance of relief. Many of them have drifted away from Democracy and affilia ted with the Third party, with the hope that this organisation could afford them the relief they so much need. How they can expect deliv erance for their distresses through this organization is more than we can see. Even granting that the plans formulated by that party are feasible, there is no possible chance for it to sacceed in the coming elec- lions, and the only result will be the crippling of the Democratic party and aiding the Republicans to main tain their hold of power and continue their oppressive and iniquitous sys tern of burdens. The one road to relief Is through the Democratic party, which has so nobly in the past fought the battles of the people. This great party has been the only break-water against ANOTHER STRAW. The Banner referred yes'erday to ihe interview reported by the Rich mond Dispatch, where Gen. Fields asserted that the Third party would carry four Southern States and thus defeat Cleveland. The latest sensation is a telegram from Raleigh, N. C, referring to tbe appearance in the Third party organ of that State of a long address signed by John Mott, chairman of the State Executive Committee of that party It is a proposition for a fusion of the Third party with the Republi cans. The Third party agrees to support the Republican candidates for State officers if the latter will vote for the Third party nominees for congress. The Democratic ma jority in that Slate is small, and if the fusion is made it is equivalent to turning over North Carolina to the Republicans. Remember, this is the proposition of a leader of the Third party, and he is willing for the tax-paying white citizens of the State to be governed by aliens, ecallawags and negroes, in order that a few Third party con gressmen may be elected. By this fusion both sides, of course, expect to see the electoral vote of the State given to the Republicans Gen. Fields claims it and this move indicates a firm purpose to thus help Mr. Harrison and the Republican party. Let Georgians consider well what will be the result of affiliating with such an organization. What does it mean but helping to keep in power the bitterest enemies of the South Think of a leader ot an organization in a Southern State making over tures lor a fusion with a party whose robber tariff grinds the Southern farmer to powder, whose pension frauds and other iniquitous schemes makes him poorer every day, and whose platform holds in reserve all the horrors of the Force bill I CHAIRMAN HARRITY- Mr. Harrity, the Chairman of the National Democratic Committee is a man of splendid abilities. Some of the Republican papers have a few things to say of him which makes interesting reading. We give a few extracts from organs of that party in Philadelphia Says the Bulletin, Mr. Harrity’s election means that the Democratic campaign will be prosecuted with shrewdness and skil 1 .” Says the Irquircr, “It.will be well for tl e Republicans to real ^zeat the outset the fact that tbe new Democratic campaign manager is neither a fool ncr incompetent So far as the ability of the man is concerned, the Democrats could not have done better.” The Press thinks ,bat Mr. Harrity will make no blnn ders, and he will give persistent at tention to the details of the cam paign” The Ledger says: “The party could scarcely find a better chairman. Mr. Harrity is a shrewd political manager, aggressive full of tact, clean in his methods and pliy areally strong enough to bear the great strain put npon tbe chairman of a National Committee daring presidential campaign. The party s to be congratulated on having such an. < fficient chairman.” Says the New 0 lesitfS Times: “A WO*a often heard nowadays is ‘gerry mander,’ yet it is rarely that it is pro nounced correctly- Most commonly it is spoken as if the initial letter were *f * There is no justification for this, as the derivation of the word from Elbridgc Gerry, Governor of Massachusetts in 1811, when it first came into use, clear ly shows. The proper name is always pronounced with a bard ‘a,’ and the de rivative is, of course, subject to the same rule. Tbe latest dictionaries au thorize only the pronunciation of ‘ger rymander’ with the sound of ‘g’ as in give.’ It is said, by the^way, that Gov. Gerry was not in fact responsible for tbe first gerrymander, although his name has been permanently attached to the manipulation of political divis ions in the interest of a party.” Sunday a week ago, Senator Alfred H. Colquitt delivered an address at Asbury Park. N. J., on tbe subject of ‘Home.” The address is said to have been very beautiful. “If I were a preacher, and 1 would not be ashamed if I were,” he said, “I would take as my text Paul’s letter to Timothy: ‘Let them first learn piety at home.’ ” After speaking of the duties of husband and wife and^of parents, Senator Colquitt said: “I supported the bill for tbe clos ing of the World’s Fair on Sunday be cause I believe the Decalogue and tbe Gospel of Jesus Christ to be the best foundation for the United States of America.” Savannah's primary did not pass off smoothly. There are charges of fraud , Auga8ta Chronicle - Presidential Religion. in the«. lection and tfc3 matter is to be thoroughly investigated. If charges can be substantiated, some parties will bo prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and some independant candidates will enter the raee and be elected. In an interesting letter in i ai , t s day’s Chronicle by Fred C. Dayton cerning the personal peculiarities of tl several presidential nnd vice-p rcs j,j c „ tial nominees, among other things h" noted the religious belief of each c 06 didate. We do not'think the denomination*, belief of the candidates matters a of pins, but the way in which the ter is a stand-off between the parties • rather notable. Among people who i cherish preferences or pr.jidicea ^ cause of such matters it will be g rati tying to note that neither tick, t w any advantage over the other in respect. We have not the facts at hand but it is probablo that nevtr before has it occurred that the candidates for pres- identand vice-president on both the Republican and Democratic tickets were all four of the same denomination But this is true of Cleveland. Harris . n Stevenson and Reid—all f Jlir p, ein ^ Presbyterian?. There is no chance f. Jt preference therefore from a religious standpoint. ' But the similarity goes a step further and whether by accident or dts ; gn the rdigious stand-off is maintained on the national committee of both parties Chairman Carter recently selected by the Republicans, ar.d Chairman Harrity just chosen by the Democrat j are both good Catholics. So, from a religious standpoint honors are easy between the two great parties. Of course the Prohibition party and the People’s party do not enter into the race for first ard second place, hut when it comes to the contest fur third place in the great nationhl contest, here tgain is found a coincidence, fur Wea- vor and Bid well are Methodists while the vice presidential nominees Field and Craufil are both Baptiste, thus pre senting a stand-off with a Methodist ind Baptist on each ticket. Look on This and on That. Here is what Weaver, the id-1 of r m Watson and his followers, said notlo: g ago at Keokuk, la.: “The record of the Republican party appears to the candid judgment of all men aa m impeachable, save, pcrhnp., that it was too lenient with the leading Democratic conspirators. The same old gang, save those who were shot or hung, are again conspiring to get pos session of the governmiDt next year. Woe to them! for the loyal hosts will crush them forever snd forever out of all possible danger of such a misfortune to our common country.” Here is what Grover Cleveland, the leader chosen by Smthern votes, saida few days ago at Madison Square: “Ours is not a destructive party. We are not at enmity with the rights of any of our c-t z ms. All are our country me n. We are n< t recklessly heedless of my American intere3', nor will we abandon our regard for them. But in voking the love of fairness and i istiee which belongs to true Americanism and upon which our constitution rests, we insist that no plan of tariff legislation shall be tolerated which has for its ob- j ct and purpose forced contribution from the earnings and income of the mass of our citizens, to swell directly uho accumulations ol a favored few, r.or will we permit pretended solicitude, for American labor, or any other specious pr* test of benevolent care f< r otuers to blind the eyes of tbe people to the sel fish schemes of those w ho set k, through the aid of an unequal tariff law, to giin un.arned and unreasonable advantages at the expense of their fellows.” Mb. Tom Watson is beginning to lose his temper. In the house Tuesday he threatened to slap the face of Mr. Fitch, of New York. Parties interfer ed and the slapping did not take place. There is no discounting the gameness of Mb. Wat80n. It takes a game man to oppose Mb. Black. Georgia has shipped 500 car loads of peaches North to date. The average price per car has been $1,500, or $450,- 000 for the crop. A great deal of money has also been taken in from the melon crop. 'So, notwithstanding the cry of hard times, there ought to be a ltttle money in the old Empire State. Notwithstanding the Door chance of the colored citizen in the South, as some of the Republican journals will have it, one of these unfortunate be ings died in Macon Tuesday, aged only 102 years. With her home in the North, cared for properly, Bhe might have lived another century. BACK TO OUR POST- After an absence of two weeks on account of sickness, we return to onr post of duty, take op tbe pen and begin to urge upon our people the necessities confronting them. There is a work for every Demo cratic paper in Georgia to do, and the editors should lose no time in seeing to it that it i$ well done. The Banner is in the fight and intends to stay at the front, no matter how hot tbe fire may become. Democracy must win in Georgia, and every day from now until the day of the Presidential election shall witness some effort threogh onr col umns to convince the wavering Dem ocrats that tbe best interests of thimselvcs and families and of the great Commonwealth of Georgia de mand that they shonld remain in the ranks. In the discussion of this question THE RACE IN THE EIGHTH. The nomination of Dr. Robbins by the Third parly convention at its recent session in Athens, as their candidate for congress, indicates that we are to have lively times in the Eighth district for tbe next few months. Dr Robbins is a very clever and genial gen'.lcman, and it is said has done good service as an Affiance lecturer in his district ; but this does not prove by any meats that he should be elected to congress. The South needs her ablest sons and men of experience in tbe counsels of the nation, as great issues affecting her interests most vitally will no doubt be passed npon in tbe next congress. Judge Lawson, our present able representative, will soon give an ac count of bis stewardship in every county in the district. He has serv«- ed his constituents faithfully and acceptably, and the gallant Democ racy of the old Eighth Will roll up a handsome majority in the approach ing election, and thus endorse a faithful representative. We have no doubt this will be a stirring campaign, and that tbe can® didates will discuss the issues oi the day in all parts of the district. The Republican candidate for vice President was baptized aB Jacob White- law Reid, but he dropped the Jacob for tbe purpose of shortening his name. It has been alleged that he dropped it on ■account of his prejudice against tbe Jews, but the leading Hebrew organ in New York city acquits Mr Reid of this charge, and it is probably justified in loing so. Mr. Reid is not the first can didate on a presidential tioket who has appeared there by other than his bap tismal name, Ulysses S. Grant and Henry Wilson bavii g been conspicu ous instances of the kind. One of the Third party delegates in the city Tuesday, said that in his county converts had been made from the Dem ocrats to the Third purty, by the un called for abuse heaped on parties who were members of the new party. Tbe Banner has never believed iu abuse. It does believe in argument, and if those Democrats have gone astray through the methods spoken of, we be lieve they will lend a willing ear to reason and come back to the old party, tt is unnecessary to vlllify—the facts in the case are sufficient to keep the fair minded within tbe Democratic fold. THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS. The following words from the Rome Tribune are worthy of being framed and read daily by all classes of our people: The Third party people mnst-be reasoned with. Ridicule never con vinced anybody. Don’t treat them as aliens ; they are onr neighbors, and they are ’tax payers like our selves, with the right to think and vote as they please. Democrats least of all shonld fear to abide by the words of Jefferson, “Error ceases to be dangerous when reason is left free to combat it.” What we waht is a straight-out Democratic cam- paign, putting fact against theory, argument against outcry, and man* hcod against d magoguery. The ar>* pi meats atd th facts are all on onr side—then why not use argument instead of ridicule? These people are in earnest—treat them seriously. People respect a man in earnest, and he is entitled to respect so long as he is in earnest. There Is great excitement at the tow n of Irmo, S. C , near Columbia On Saturday afternoon a white woman was assaulted by a negro man. The uegro was caught, and up to tbe last news had not been lyr.cbed. The negroes know that he deserves just such a fate, and fearing that he would be lynched have armed themselves, and Borne of them have been insolent to the whites. One of them carried his inso lence so far that he became involved in a difficulty with a white man and was killed. From London comes the news that Wm. E. Gladstone is showing many distressing symptoms of feebleness and his condition is a source of grave ap prehension on the part of his friends. Since the Midlothian campaign he has worried over the small majority he re ceived, »Ld his constant mental ag' gravation and depression of spirits beginning to tell on his health. Hon. A. E. Stevenson, the Demo cratic nominee for. vice-president, has written a letter to Col. Thomas W. Strange, of WilmiDgton, N. C.,in which he states that he expects to make at least five speeches in that state during the campaign. Why not get Mb. Stev enson to deliver a few speeches in Georgia. Gen. WEAVER,‘.ho People’s party can didate for Prcsident, is having some trouble with organized labor. He is the principal stockholder of the Des Moines Tribune, and the printers’ union has or dered a strike in tbe office because the management does not ci nform to the union’s rules. «. While rambling around Greenwich, Mas?., Mrs Cleveland was fortunate enough to come across snd purchase a fine old secretary of French construc tion which bad evidently been in the country since Colonial times. She has had it removed to Gray Gables. The Tammany leaders are entering early and aggressively into the fight to elect Grover Cleveland president, Not content with carrying New York, they are going to help in the good work in other States. Boubke Cochran is to open the Ohio campaign at Woods- dale Island park the first Saturday in September, syeakieg there with Adlai • TEVENS0N. The cholera reports from Europe are horrifying. Already the scourge is getting a hold in western Enrope. Next summer or the summer after it will be in America. The obvious lesson of all this is that American cities must olean up and prepare for the unwelcome visi tor. Georgia is not in need of so much preparation as some other States, but she needs it badly enough. Thh statistic? of homioidoBia the United States, as shown by the late census, furnish interesting reading, Georgia is sixth in the numerical order of stales, according to the number of prisoners in each charged with homi cide. The number in Georgia is 347. Texas heads tbe list with 730. A large majority of these cases are negroes. Tom Wation has announced that he will stump Mb. Crisfs district, and thus secure the defeat of the speaker. Tom pretends that he feels secure in tbe 10th, and that there is no need of work in his own field. Hon. J. C. C. Black may convince Tommie of his mistake before November. Instead of securing Cbisp’s scalp, Black will have Tom mie’s scalp dangling at his side. Thebe ought to be a Democratic club in every district, in every county. Per fect organization is the need of the hour. An overwhelming Democratic vietory will sweep the State,if we have complete organization. Our Demo cratic club in Athens must be up and doiog. Let us have a vigorous cam paign. ' Colonel Jacob Myess, of Fortuna Col., has been photographed standing upon one foot on the top of a limbless tree, 17S feet high and 14 inches in diameter at the top. The Colonel must have felt “up a tree” when the photographer was shouting at him to “look pleasant.” It seems to be pretty well established that the young roan Bergmann, who tried to kill Frick, is the representa tive of an organized band of Anarch ists, and a number of men who are be lieved to have been in the conspiracy are under arrest. It is said that Gen. Weaver will * ‘ march through Georgia” either in August or September. If this is true, the Democratic Executive Committee should make arrangements to have speakers to meet him at every point. The South is willing, says the Mem phis Appeal-Avalanche, jto forgive aDy man who merely fought against her in the late war, like Grant or Hancock, but she is not willing to vote for the man who bl&ckguaided her as Weaver did. Mrs. Viola Fuller, of South Dakota, has an opera cloak of feathers from prairie chickens. It used up many hundreds of chickens and ten years of her time to complete it, Thebe can be no excuse for a divi sion in Damccrotic ranks now. With tbe threatened danger of the Force Wli, there ought to be & uutt«J South.

Occasionally there may be a little friction!in the primary election, but it is always the best to abide the result when the election is fairly conducted. There was a little excitement at first over the result of the primary, but we believe there will be harmony all along the line. The Valparaiso Incident- Savannah News, The relations between this country and Chile are again upon a friendly footing. The $75,000 which has been paid by Chile to this country to be dis tributed among the families of the sail ors of the Baltimore who were killed in the Valparaiso affair, and tbe sailors who were wounded, is regarded as satis factory. Mr. Tracy, the Secretary of the Navy, will distribute the money. Two sailors were killed, and it is expected that the family of each of them will get $20,COO. The balance ($35,000) will be given to seven sailors who were wounded. The $5,000 which each will get will be an ample compensation for their sufftr- ings. This country paid Italy $35,000 as an indemnity for the I abacs whp were killed by the mob which attacked the jail in New Orleans. Four of those killed were undoubtedly Italian sub jects, and five others could not have be come American citizens. Tbe indem nity, therefore, was about $2,700 each. Good feeling having beeu restored be tween this country and Chile, and Chile having announced that she has no ob jection to Minister Egan, it is not im probable that he will continue to repre sent this country at tLe Chilean capi tal. Against Re-Untons. The Farmers’ Alliance of Franklin county are down on the old soldiers holding re-union?. If this hungry Al liance could have been in Athens at the re-union of the old veterans ami got a good square meal out of the barbecued meat, they never would have passed such a resolution. The AHisici has done more harm to the South than all the re-unions that could be gotten up. From the Alliance the Third party sprung, and in the Third party we may expect anything from a nigger candi date tor governor down to a county coroner. We imagine that there was not an old Boldier in tbe Franklin coun ty Alliance when the resolution was passed. Mr. Cha.8. N.
