People,
A TIME FOR PLEASURE!

REDUCED RAILROAD RATES
Will Bring the Crowds to Athens—

SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER.
Athens will put on holiday attire
next month.
Ar.d during the second week in De
cember there will be one or more days
on which our people will spread them
selves in entertaining large numbers of
visitors to Athens.
The .Banner suggested that Athens
have a day or more set apart as a gala
time for her people, and this proposi
tion meets with general favor. It is
proposed to have a grand trades dis
play, base ball, football, fireworks,and
other attractions, and a committee of
citizens will look after. the arrange
- meats. ~
It will be a day when all the country
people and those living along the lines
of the railroads will come to Athens.
The gala day has met with nearly
unanimous encouragement from every
business man in our city, and below we
give what the principal merchants said
about the gala day.
In the hurry of reporting, several
were not seen who are doubtless in
favor of it.
A reporter took the different streets
from one side of the city to the other,
and here is what followed:
Michael Bros., onto of our largest dry
goods houses said: “Athens ought to
have a grand trades display and gala
day. We are heartily in favor of it,
and will have a dry goods float that
will astonish the country. You can
count Michael Bros, thoroughly in with
the enterprise.”
A. Joel & Co., dry goods men on
Broad street think it the very thing for
Athena, and will have a float that can’t
be equalled.
Chas. Morris, the clothier, is in for it
and will make a display that will reflect
credit to the Classic City.
HnggiDS’ China Honse says it is
good idea, and will display china ware
that a millionare would be proud to
own.
Morris Bros, are perfectly satisfied
that it will do AtbeDB good, and will
have a display in front of their store
and in the procession.
Dorsey & Scorn are in favor of doing
anything to benefit Athena. We will
have a float showing everything that
we keep in stock, and if we have the
display we must give the people some
thing that will do credit to our city.

favor of a gala day and anything that
will help Athens. The Hardware Co.

CARMBD BY HUNDRBD3 OF EN
THUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS
TO CELEBRATE IN STYLE
BLAZING TORCHES
The Glorious Victory of Democracy-
BrMlant Fireworks, Nice Music-
and Stirring Speecnes.
Despite the rain t-pd niud aud inolem
ent weather, the u..terrifie r ' Democracy
of Clarke county a> d ibis enure kctioi
was out in force to celetrute in style
the glorioiu victory achieved last Tues
day.
The shades of night had hardly fallen
before the blazing bonfires illuminated
the entire town, auu the Homan can'
dies and sky rockets began to ascend.
The old town was ablaze aud Demo
cratic enthusiasm ruled the hour. Each
man and hoy seemed to vie with the
other in doing honor to the occasion,
and when the {.recession lined up there
were fully two thousand people with
torches and home. The pi t cession wss
preceded by too street cats in which
were many ladies, and by the Bloom
field band and the Barber band. These
bands furnished splendid music, aud
the Bloomfield baud especislly deserves
credit, for the boys have o ly been it
practice a month or two.
The march was started at the Com
uiercial Hotel and followed the street
oar line to States Bights sheet and back
again.
The illuminations all alorg the line
of march were grand and beautiful
The proprietor ol the Commercial Hot 1
had illuminated tL»t bull.ting io a beau
tifol manner and i early every house on
the line was decorated. The rtoldenc s
of Mrs. Noble, Ooi. Brown, Dr. Catuak
Col. Burnett, Judge Cobb, Dr. White,
Mr. Funkenstein, Mr. Joel, Mr. Ed
wards,the Home School, Mr. Alters
and the Lucy Crib snd oihtrs wen
elegantly illuminated.
One of the most unique contrivances
of the procession was furnished by Mi
G. W. Fresnel), a veteran Democrat ol
East Athens. He uad a ro..Bieron a
pole over twenty-five feet mug, and tin
lusty Democratic bird was perfectly at
home in that crov. d.
Quite a large number o: the crow
were from the adjoining counties anc
added much to the enthusiasm.
On returning to the Commercial Ho
tel the crowd was in a good humor for
speaking and called for difl'erent speak
era. Speeches were made 1 y Cspt. W
B. Bufnett, Mr. T. W. Reed, Judge
George C. Thomas and Hon. R. B. Bus
sell, Mayor H. C. Tuck, Col. B. H No
ble, and. Mr.S. C. Dean. T’ie speeches
were well received and loudly applaud
ed. This ended tbc jubilee.
Taken all in all, the occasion was
great success, for the weallit-r was cer
t&inly against it. Several effigies wen
burned, among others one of Mrs.
Lease, and one of General
Weaver bolding each others bands
These were gotten up by Mr. George
Booth on Hancook avenue.
The hits at Tom Watson and McKin
ley were all the go and were vigorously
applauded.
Among other pretty displays of fire
works was one in front of Lacy Cobb
Institute, b} & number of young gentle
men. The young ladies were allowed to
witness this display and enjoyed it very
much. -
The occasion was one calculated to
make our people rejoice, and now they
go back to their work confident that the
government will prosper under the ad
mluistration of Grover Cleveland and
Democracy.

THE FIGHT FOR/THE POSITION
THE MEANING OF THE VICTORY-
No more elegant ob more enjoy
able entertainment was ever given in
he Clas-ic City than that which Satur
day evening celebrated most appropri
itely the silver wedding of Capt and
Mrs H H Carlton. Cloverburat, beau
tiful all the.time, was doubly so on thi-
iccasion, and it seemed a veritable fairy
and in which one might delight to lin'
ger forever. The lovely parks in the
broad street leading up to.the mansion
sion on the bill shone beautifully un-
er the glare of the lamplight, while
within it web one scene of radiant beau
ty. The f-pacious parlors and corridors
were ornamented in an artistio manner,
nd the decorations of flowers, palms
were delightful to behold. In one of
be parlors against the wall was a mam
moth pyramid of flowers, and on one
ide of it were the figures
LSG7, on the other side 1892. The
guests began coming in about eight
Vclock and were received by the rel
atives of Capt. and Mrs. Carlton until
about nine o’ciock, when Capt. and Mrs,
Carlton came into their midst. On
Capt. Carlton’s right band were their
.bree eons, Messrs. John, Henry and
Guy, on Mrs. Carlton’s- left were their
hree daughters, Misses Helen, Livy and
Marion. Rev. T. R. Kendall offered np
a fervent prayer that the smile of the
Almighty might rest upon this happy
family throughout the years to come.
This was a beautiful, solemn, impres
sive, and appropriate little ceremony
During the short ceremony, Mrs. John
H. Newton, the aged mother of Mrs.
Carlton, was near by, and added much
solemnity to the scene. Mrs.W. P.Welch
and Miss Mary Hamilton, two of the
bridesmaids were also present. Quite a
large number of beautiful presents were
received by Capt. and Mrs. Carlton and
cores of telegrams received from
triends at a distance expressing regret
it not being able to bn present,
Then the guests were entertained
royally and hospitably by Capt, and
vlrs. Carlton and their relatives. At a
ate hour a magnificent feast was en
joyed by those present, and a more de
lightful table wa» never arranged in
Athens. The occasion was one lung to
be remembered by those present, who
one and all united in wishing to Capt
j..nd Mrs. Carlton, aud their interesting
family, lives of great length and unusual
happiness.
Among those present were: Cant,
and Mrs Henry H Carlton, Mrs John b

An Interesting Contribution From a
Correspondent,
The presidential election of 1892 ia
uil of interest and fraught with sur
prises to observing and thinking men,
no less than to practical politicians.
For the first time perhaps in the history
of the country a presidential election
has been held, and a change of admin-
stration had, without an appeal to the
feeling* and passions of the people. A
great question of governmental policy
aud of business expediency, the tariff,
was the issue. ,
Too often have the voters been swept
ofl their feet by a wave of feeling, to
he detriment of the practical issues in
volved. In the past, elections have
been controlled, or the resnlts influenced
b/ prejudice or enthusiasm. Witness
the effect ol the animosities engendered
by the war of the Revolution. Note the
xcitementas to the Canadian frontier,
and the admission of the Territories
Recall the popular excitement before,
during and after the war with Mexico,
tnd of 1812. Remember the long period
f bitterness aud strife over the slavery
question, leading up to the passions cl
tbe civil war, and followed by years ol
bloody shirt waving.
In this election the only question of
feeling was the force bill. This af
fected tbe South only, and was not a
factor of the result in the West, where
cue revolution occurred and the victory
was won.
Four years ago Cleveland declared
himself on the tariff. He was told at tht
time, it would defeat him for re-elec
tion. It might be right, but it was not
politics. He was defeated. He stands
today where he stood then. He is the
exponent of tariff reform. The people
who repudiated the idea then have over
whelmingly voted for him now, why
this change? In lour years they have
studied the question, and now express
themselves intelligently. Verily it was
a campaign of education, and not ol
passion, unique ia the history ol
national elections aud full of comforting
suggestions to the believer in popular
government.
Again, the student of Republican
forms of Government, asserting that the
order of events is uniform the wurlu
over, is prone to predict the future from
the past. He sees that a people passes
from savagery, to the fishing and hunt
ing stage, thence to the agricultural
tate. The conditions of this early and
primitive period is most favorable to
freedom and equality. During its ex
istence Democracies and Republics
flourish. The more advanced civiliza
tion with all the complexities of social
existence follows. The concentration
of power in a few hands results, pro
dueiug an aristocratic government, if
not in form, certainly in reality. To
this sometimes succeeds imperialism.
Usually in the two last all the forms
and none of tbe substance of popular
government are retained. The Roman
republic and empire affords the most
familiar example.
Why then in our country has tht
money power, largely conceutraced in
one party, and backed by the patronage
of the administration failed to perpetu
ate that party in power? Why this sa
lient and wonderful exception to ac
cepted rules and theories?
The answer to these two questions is
the same as to the former. Education.
Tbe dissemination of knowledge—
greater in the United States than any
other country, renders tbe people ca
pable of self-government. Education
opposes tbe force of money, tbe greater
power of intelligence. It begins to look
as if Socrates’ universal panacea of edu
cation were not so j aradoxic.il after
all. Tbe student of history and gov-
A SOCIAL SENSATION
THAT HAS CAUSED A FLUTTER IN
THE UPPER CRUST.
A social sensatim has stirred up the
fashionable people of Atlanta today and
yesterday. jj
It was earned by tho reception of sev
eral telegrams in -Vtlauta from New
York. '
These telegrams stated that Senator
David B. Hill, of New York, was about
to bid adieu to bachelorhood and wed a
beautiful young widow whose home was
on Peachtree street in Atlanta.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Barrett re
ceived a telegram from the New York
Morning Advertiser, saying that it was
rumored there that Senator Hill was to
wed an Atlanta lady, asking for parti
culars. Tbe telegram gave the name of
the lady, and asked Mrs. Barrett to get
the particulars of the wedding.
Rumors of the same kind were afloat
some mouths ago, and their revival at
this time caused many to believe there
must be some truth in them.
Mrs. Barrett called on tbe lady in ques
tion and showed her the telegrams.
She was very much surprised, ani pro
nounced the rumors untrue. She said
she had never met Senator Hill but once,
and that was at the reception in Atlanta
when he was here.
She had never thought of being enga-
g d to him, as she had never seen him
oar had any communication with him
dnee the evening of the reception, when
ihe was thrown in bis company.
The lady is justly regarded as one ol
the most beautiful women in the south.
She has all the attributes that go toward
-caking up an ideal southern woman,
and she would grace the highest home
in the land.
On account of her great popularity
and on account of Senator Hill being so
well known the rumor was discussed
yesterday by hundreds in Atlanta and
New York and yesterday the New York
Homing Advertiser published the rumor
giving the lady’s name, althoug ■ she had
denied the engagement.
This morning The Journal received
numerous telegrams of inquiry from the
New York papers and the press associa
tions asking for particulars.
To all if them the reyly wa3 sent that
the lady in question pronounced the ru
mors untrue and without any foundati
on, as she had only a slight acquaintance

TELEGRAPHERS.
Tnelr Troubles are Not Yet Settled
on Several Railroads.
Cincinnati, Nov. 15.—The difference
existing between the Cincinnati, New
Orleans aud Texas Pacific railroad and
the telegraphers in their employ, is now
In the hands of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers for adjustment, although
the chances for an early settlement is
anything but flattering.
The telegraphers’ grievance commit
tee, headed by Deputy Grand Chief To-
bey, of Winton, Iowa, had a conference
with General Manager Carroll, hut
nothing was accomplished. He refused
emphatically to allow the men anymore
pay. The committee will have a confer
ence with Vice President Harvey, and
in case he makes no concession, will, as
a last resort, lay the matter before Pres
ident Felton.
Mr. Tobey said: “We will exhaust
every means to amicably adjust matters,
but in case the company will not meet
the demands there is but one thing to do,
and that is to call the men out.”
It is understood that the bill of griev
ance has been presented to the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio and Big Four
roads, )
The committee will demand an an
swer tomorrow, and if not favorable the
ultimatum will be given that unless they
reply within an hoar the men will be
called out.

SURVEYING THE FIELD.
The Results of the Election of Last
Tuesday,
It seems now as if Mr. Cleveland’s
vote in the electoral college may go
down to 269. This is caused by there
ult in Ohio and California. These
ptates voted so closely as between the
parties that tho cfilcial count is render
ed necessary to decide where their elec
toral vote goes. The returns in Ohio
are all official save the counties of Ham
ilton and Trumbull which are estimated
and upon this tbe republicans claim the
state by 900 and the Democrats by 500.
it may go either way. In California
the plurality is about one thousand for
Harrison. Cleveland’s plurality in the
popular vote is about half a million.
The Senate is undoubtedly Democratic
and that places the control of the gov
ernment absolutely in the hands of the
Democracy.
The New York Tribune, Whitelaw
Reid’s paper, concedes the Senate to
the Democrats, and says that the next
Senate will stand, Democrats, 44, Re
publicans, 40, Populists 4. This gives
the Democrats a majority with vice-
Prcsident Stevenson’s vote, and more
than a bare majority if any populist
Senators vote with them. At any rate
among the earliest acts of the Congress
will be the admission of Arizona, Utah,

Congress follows the sagacious lead of
Cleveland, and redeems the pledges of
the Chicago platform, it will remain in
power as long as the republic endures
