THE GREAT VICTORY.
The reports of the great Demo
cratic victory grow better as the re
turns come in. In every part of the
State the noble old party wa6
thoroughly organized, and earnest
and solid woik has been done all
along the lines. The young democ
racy of the State have workid with
an enthusiasm hardly ever known
before, and the old veterans have not
been idle and hundreds of voter*
who in former elections rarely voted
turned ont this time to assist in
crushing out Third partyism in the
Sta e. We are glad that old Clarke
remains proudly in the front rank of
Democratic counties.
While we have no patience with
the demagogues who have led son e
of our people off after strange pcliti-
cal gods, yet we have the kindest
feelings for our fellow-citizens wht
have been deceived into abandoning 1
the good old party of their fathers t
follow the vagaries of the Third
party, and we earnestly urge them t«
come back to the party which ha*
always battled for their rights, and
which will continue to do so to the
end.
takes tides. He is in favor of the
force hill. It if true he does not say
so in so many words, but he enters
into an elaborate defense of the force
bill ides, though of course, be dots
his best to deceive in stating what
that idea is.
According to Mr. Reid the ques
tion is simply whether or not elec
tions eha'l be fair. If the federal
government,-he says, controls them,
they will be fair; if the State govern
ments, they will not be. The people
of Georgia, he argues, in effect are
not honest so long as they act under
State authority, but will immediate
ly become so when they act under
the authority of the central govern
ment. He either means this, or that
the federal government, if given th*
power, will send agents from else
where to condnet our elections.
We are very glad that Mr. Reid is
beginning to show the courage ol
his conviotions. Nobody realh
doubts that a Republican victory a*
ihe polls next November will mean
force bill before the next election
and, this being true, the peopl
should have an opportunity to vote
on the question. If the people ar*
willing to give the Republican part}
power to perpetuate its hold on the
a ivernment indefinitely, the country
must stand the consequences as bee
it may; bat the Republican part}
should not be permitted to seize thi*
power by sneaking in reach of it
while pretending to be in quest
something else.
Mr. R.-id, for the first ti ne in hi
life, perhaps deserves the thanks

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Rr publican bosses are in com
motion and there is good cause foi
it, sat s the Atlanta Journal.
They are a 1 arm; cl at the almos
daily revolt of men of ir.fluence whe
have hitherto bean counted amon;
the strong champions of the Repnb
can party.
They are men of the class of Mr
Wetmore, of California, who, foi
years past, has been one of the main
stays of Republicanism in Califor
nia, and Judge Hall, of Oregon, »
life-long Republican, who was pm
at i he head of that party’s electorp
ticket in his State and promptly do-
c’ined to serve, at the same time an*
nouncing that he will do all he can
to aid the cause of the Democracy
These are only two of many in
stances of like character that have
occurred in the last two months.
Rut the most notable change ol
political affiliation that has occurred
in a good while is that of Judg*
Walter Q Gresham. Judge Greah
am was is a man of exceptional pop
ularity throughout the West. Though
he is a citizen of Indiana, Illinois
presented him as her candidate for
the Presidential nomination at th<
Republican convention of 1888. He
was a gallant soldier, and as Post
master General under President Ar
thur, he was universally esteemed.
Judge Gresham incoming over to
the Democracy will bring thousand*
of votes with him, and most of them
will be drawn from the Republican
ranks in the debatable States of the
West.
Gresham, Wetmore and Hare all
give the same reason for their con
version. They could not stand the
Republican tariff. This is driving
thousands of men into the Demo
cratic party who never voted a Dem
ocratic ticket bat who will cast their
bsllots for Cleveland and Stevenson
next month.
The force bill is taking thousands
more out of the Republican rankr,
and o.hcrs are leaving it becanae of
its rc kless waste of the people’s
money and its subserviency to the
corporations.

MORE FIQCBRS ORDERED.
The very interesting announce
meat is made that the Republican *
nave hit upon a better plan to secnri
statistics than through the Commis
lioners of various States, says th<
Courier Journal. They have giyei
an order, it seems, to Census Super,
intendent Porter for a wholesale j *i
lot of figgers, showing that wage,
have been raised in one hundred
cities of the country.
This looks like business. Instea
of bothering with a statisticirn her*
and another there, they determine*
to go straight to headquarters lo
Republican figgers, and the National
Committee placed with the Censm
Superintendent the order for there
quired reports.
There is no dispnting the wisdonr
of this course. As a purveyor oi
Republican statistics, the Census
Superintendent has no superior, an*
r .he Republican National Committe*
can rest assured that its large orde
will be promptly and carefully filled.
CREMATION OF CHOLERA.
The advocates of cremation of th*
dead have taken advantage of tb<
present attention directed to the
cholera in this country to warn the
public of the danger that accompa
nies the bnrial in the earth of thos*
who have died from this disease
says the Bostm Herald. Their pa
per, the Urn in treating of this sub
jec’, urges that to bury the corpse of
one who has died of cholera is bat to
deposit in the gronnd the germs of
the disease^ which may- furnish the
seed for an outbreak in the future
There does not seem to be the power,
if there is the disposition, on the
part of pnblic authorities to enforce
cremation, but no harm will be done
in calling attention to the necessity
tor making the most undoubted poe
sible provision against the return to
the surface of any of the disease
germs of its victims.
