A Gallant Confederate Passes Away,
Sunday evening Mr. M. M. Maddrey
breathed his last. He had been sick
The city has been divided into two I for a long time, and for the past few
days bis friends could see that there was
no hopes of his recovery.
Mr. Maddrey was a native of South
Carolina, and from there moved to Au
gusta and then came to Athens, where
he has been for the past fifteen years.
Mr. Maddrey was a gallant Confed
erate and followed Gen. Lee in all the
battles in Virginia. He was a good
merchant and a warm-hearted gentle
man. He was always true to his friends
and whenever he espoused the cause of
principal of the | any man, he stayed with him until the
last. His remains were laid to rest

Broad to Lumpkin, Lumpkin to Bald

New York, Sept. 5.—Notwithstand

There were left, however, two stocks
which still displayed a marked anima

A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Yesterday a large number stood en

will do so today. Prof. G. G. Bond, the

A Huge Volume of Water Out In Texas
Alpine, Tex., Sept. 5.—This place was
nearly swept away by a terrible cloud
burst which formed over Devil moun

water rushed down the mountains in
huge volumes, tearing up trees by the
roots and dashing everything in front of
it to death. Large trees were torn up
by the roots.
Burros, heavy timbers, cattle and
horses floated through the town and gave
plain evidence of the havoc done in the
mountains. The rangers’ camp, four
miles south of town, in a narrow canon,
must have been washed away. Mexi
cans fled from their homes to the moun
tains, and a general panic prevailed.
Considerable damage was done to the
railroad track. Deans' ranche, above

Grn*f*l Harrison has accepted the pres

gins:
1 now avail rm self of the first period of re
lief from public duties to respond to the notifi
cation which you brought me on Jane 20tb, of
my nomination for the office of president of
the Lulled Siates by the repuli.ican national
Convention recently held at Minneapolis to ac
cept (he nomination, and am grateful for
the approval expressed by the convention
of the act* ot my administration.
He reviews the work of bis administra
tion which he claims has been "distinctly
and progressively American and republi
can.” He talks of the “great work of the
fifty-first congress,” and speaks ot the par
ty’s war record. On the subject ot
THE NATIONAL CURRENCY,
the latter speaks of the existence of state
banks before the war and the varying
write* of their notes of issnes. He says:
The democratic party, if entrusted with the
Conrrol of the government, is now pledged to
repent the tax on state bank issues with the
view to putting Into circulation, under such ad
verse legislation as tha states may adopt,s flood
of local bank issues. Only those who, in the
years before the war, experienced the inconvt n-
ience and losses attendant upon the use of such
money can appreciate what a return to that
system oan involve.
The denomination of a bill was thee often
bo indioatlou of iu value. The bank detector
of yesterday was not a safe guide today as to
credit or value. Merchants deposited several
times during the day, lest the hour of bank
closing should show a depreciation of the money
taken in the morning. Changes may become
i n estary. bat the national system of currency
—safe and acceptable throughout the whole
country—is the good fruit of bitter experiences,
and i am sure our people will not eousent to re
actionary proposal made by ths democratic
party.
The president then devotes considerable
•pace to the question of the revival of Ameri
can shipping, and to an argument in support of
ths subsidy law of the tifty-Urbt congress as
lending to the recovery of the carrying trade
by tbe United States.
AS TO RECIPROCITY.
He then takes up reciprocity and says:
“Another related measure, as furnishing in
creased ocean tr.fllc for our ships, and of great
and permanent benefit to farmers, and manu
facturers as well, is the reciprocity policy de
clared by section a of tbe tariff act of 1490, and
now In praotical operation with several of the
nations—Central and South America, San Do
mingo, Spanish and the British West India
Islands, gud with Germany and Austria, under
special trade arrangements with each.
The removal of dutv upon sugsr, and the oon-
tinuance of coffee and tea upon the free list,
while giving great relief to our people by cheap
ening the articles used increasingly in every
bcusebold, was also tit such enormous advant
age to the countries exporting these articles, as
to suggest that In consideration thereof, re
ciprocal favors should be shown In thsir tariff
to articles exported by us to their market*.
Great credit is due to Mr. Blaine for the vigor
with which he pressed this view upon the coun
try. We have only begun to realize tbe benefit
ot these trade arrangements. The work of cre
ating new agencies and of adapting our good*
to new markets be* necessarily taken time; but
tbs results already attained are such.T am sure,
ts to establish In popular favor the policy of re
ciprocal trade, based upon the free transporta
tion of such articies as do not injurionsly com
pete with the products of our owu farms, mine*
or factories, ia exchange lor the free or favored
Introduction of our products into other coun
tries.
The letter quotes from European trade jour
nals and hoard* of trade, in which Europeans
re quoted as fearing the ■‘commercial crusade
r t the United Stat.'S,” and continues:
The most convincing evidence ot the tremen
dous commercial strength of our position is
found In the fact that Great Britain and Spain
have found it necessary to make reciprocal
tiade agreements with tbo United Stares for
their Weftt Indian colonies, and that Germany
and Austria have given us Important conces-
•lopa in oxebanse lor ths continued free im
portation of their best sugar. Details only as
to the increase of our trade can be given here,
taking all the countries with which such ar
rangements have been made, our trade to June
JO, 1892, had increased r3 7-8 per cent.—with
Brazil the increase was nearly 11 per cent.; with
Cuba, during the first ten months, our expoi u
Increased $5,70-, 193, or 54.86 per cent.; and with
Uor:o Rico, $590,959, or 34 per cent.
He quotes several consular reports, and con
tinues : *
The democratic platform promises a repeal of
the tariff law containing this provision, and
jspc: ally denounces as ‘-sham reciprocity" that
lection of the law under which thete trade ar
rangements have been made. If no other issue*
were involved in the oampaign, this alone would
give It momentous importance. Are the far in-
•r* of tbo great growing states willing to sur
render these now large and increasing market*
for their surplu*? Are we to have nothing in
ixchange for the free importation of sugar and
loffee, and at the same time to destroy tbe su
gsr planters of tho south, and the best sugar
Industries of the northwest and of the Pacitio
coast, or are we to have taxed sugar and coffee,
which a “tariff for revenue only" necessarily
Involves, with the loss of the new markets,

"the American doctrine of protection" meets

sot adopt a schedule, but a principle that Is to

The president here quotes from the majority

lemocratio convention those sections which
were afterwards stricken out by the conven-
don, ujrlcg:

mitted itself than the substitute which was
adopted. This substitute declares that pro

tection, low protection—all unconstitutional.

A bounty might, I Judge, be given to an import-

to lncreum Importation, and so revenue, for
“reVenus only,” is limitation.

TIN PLATE.
He speaks of tbe tin plate end pearl button
schedules of the McKinley bill as especially ad
vantageous to this country. He arr.iigus the
democratic leaders f< r seeking to alienate the
employer and employe.
He regrets that all employers are not just and
considerate and sometimes take too large a
than of the profits, but says he dues not see
bow this injuetice would be ameliorated by the
tariff, thi tii st effect of which must be a severe
cut In the wages. The southern states have had
liberal participation in the benefits ot the tariff
law, though their representatives have general
ly opposed the protection policy. “1 rejoice
that their sugar, rice, coal, ores. Iron, fruits,
sotton, clothes and other products have n :
beeu left to the fate which the votes of thi .r
representatives would hare brought upon them.
In the construction of the Nicaragua canal; in
the new trade with South and Central America;
in the establinhment of American steamship
lines, these states have also special interest and
*11 tuese interests will not always consent to be
without representation at Washington.”
THE SILVER BILL.
The president next has the following to My
on the silver bill question. The resolution of
the convention in favor of bimetallism declares:
*1 am thoroughly conviu.ed that the free coln-
tgo of silver, at such a ratio to gold as will
maintain an equality in tho commercial uses of
the two coined dollars, would conduce to the
prosperity of all the great producing and com
mercial nations uf the world. One essential
jondition is that these dollars shall have ami
retain equal reciprocity and value in all com
mercial transactions. They are not only i
medium of exchange but measures of values,
uid, when two unequal measures are called in
taw by tho sa ne name, commerce Is unsettled
mil the confused and unwary and ignorant arc
theateil. Dollars of unequal commercial vali e
will not circulate together. The better dollar Is
withdrawn and becomes merchandise.
The true interest of all jur people, and espe
cially of tie farmers and working people, who
cannot closely observe tbe money market i
that every dollar, paper or coin, issued or au
thorized by the government shall at all times
Slid in atl its uses be the exact equivalent not
only in dispatching but in the purchasing power
of any dollar. I am quite sure that if we should
uow act upon this subject Independently of
other nations, wn should greatly promote their
interests and injure our own.
Monetary conditions iu Europe within tho last
two years have, I think, tended very mcch to
develop a sentiment in favor of the large use of
silver, and I was much pleased and encouraged
by the cordiality, promptness anil unanimity
with which the invitation of this government,
(or an international conference upon this sub
ject wa* accepted by all tho powers. We may
uut only hope for but expect highly beneficial
re,nits from this conference, which will now
soon assemble. When tbo result of the con
ference is known wa shall then be able intel
ligently to readjust our financial legislation to
uiy ndw conditions.
THE FORCE BILL.
In my last annual message to congress, 1
said:
“I must yet entertain the hope that it is possi
ble to assure a calm, patriotic consideration of
such constitution, all or statutory changes as
may be necessary to secure a choice of officers
of the government to the people by fair apport.
ionments and free elcctious. I believe it would
be impossible to constitute a commission, non
partisan in its membership and composed of
patriotic, wise and impartial men to whom con
sideration of qnestion* of evil connected with
■>ur elections, systems and methods might he
committed with good prospect of securing
unanimity iu some plan for removing and miti
gating those evils. The constitution would per
mit the election* of a commission to ho vested
In the supreme court, if that method would
give tho best guaranty of impartiality.
This commission should l e charged with the
duty of inquiring into the whole subject of the
taw of elections as related to the choice of offi
cers of tbe national government, with tbe view
to scouring to every elector the free and unmo
lested exercise of suffrage, and as near an ap
proach to equality of value Iil each ballot cast
a* is attainable. The demand that limitations
ot suffrage shall be found in law, and only there
Is a just demand, and no just man should re
sent or resist it.
It seems to me that an appeal to our people to
Consider the qnostion of leadjusting our legis
lation upon absolutely fair, nou-parttsan lines
might fiud some effective response. Many times
1 have had occasion to say that the laws aud
•lection methods, designed to give unfair ad
vantages to the party making them, would some
lime he used to perpetuate lu power a faction
party against the will of tbe majority of the
people.
The power of the states over tbe question of
Che qualification of elector* is ample to protect
them against the dancers of ignorant or de
praved suffrage, and the demand that every
man found to be qualified under the law shall
be made secure In the right to cast a free ballot
ind to bare tho ballot honestly counted cannot
be abated. Our o d republican battle cry, “a
free ballot and fair count," comes back to us,
not only from Alabama, but from other states
ir.ig men who, differing with us widely in
opinions, have come to see that parties anu
political debate are but a mockery if, when tho
debate Is ended, the judgment of honest ma
jorities is to he reversed by ballot box frauds
tnd tally sheet manipulations in the Interest of
;he party or parly faction in power.
Ol this we seem to have an illustration In the
-eceut state election in Alabama. There was no
-epubiican ticket iu the field. The contest was
between white democrats. The Kolb party say
they were refused the representation guaran
teed by the law upon election boards; and that,
when the courts by mandamus attempted to
right this wrong, an appea’, that could not he
jeard until after the election, made the writs
netlectual. Ballot boxes were thrown out tor
I illegcd Irregularities or destroyed; and it is
isserted on behalf of one-half, at least, of the
white voters of Alabama that the officers to
whom certificate* have been given where not
tonestly elected. There is no security for the
personal or political right of any man in a com
munity whore another man U deprived of hi*
personal or political rights.
These new political movements in the states,
ind the recent decision* of some of the state
lourta against unfair apportionment laws, en
tourage the hope that the arbitrary and parti
ian election lawe and practices, which have
prevailed may be corrected by the states, the
aw* made equal and non-partisan, and elec-
dons free and honest. The republican party
would rejoice at such solution—as a healthy
red patriotic local sentiment ia the host asaor
rece of free and honest elections.
I shall again urge upon congress that provis
on be made for appointment of a non-partisan
tommisiion to consider the (object of appor-
aonments and elections, in their relation to the
thoice of feder ti officers.
