HELPING HARRISON.
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

work is onr watchword.

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

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

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.
