JTICAL Tbe battle o'er, it ia now Dame Gossip's time to wag Jber lengthy tongue a little. Such a glorious victory, carrying with it so ffiiny appointments to office, so many methods and sugg<stions as to the settle, meat of the great public questions; so many ra<ical changes in governmental policies, very natofally furnishes ample material about which to gossip. In ih~ end it amounts to bnt littl?, but wit >on< the privilege of talking and discussing utore plana, or making Cabinet S’a'es for the president and nominating Senators years in adva ce, of p e ! c iug aud prog nosticating, politics would be deprived of half the pleasure there is in them. Tbe fact of the business is that political gossip is a necessity nowadays. Tbere ar- meo, and women too, who would actually die if they couldu’i be at work shaping future politics, and laying wires for fature p ilittcal schemes. Something would go wrong in the country if gossipy politic*! news dido’t keep politicians forever iu a turmoil, aud the average newspaper now would be without its ammunition if you were to take away from it the privilege oi publishing tbe latest slates, combines, and .probabilities in political circles So tbe .people will have to let the old Dame talk a little. They needn’t believe everything she says, and, in fact, if they did take it all In, the probabilities are they would b iin a worse fix than a certain socklese : statesman from Kansas,, or tbe once W itsoD, of beef tea fame. The victorious Democracy pauses upor. ithe field of battle from which, the vau- .quisbed enemy has been driven loro •enough to sweep from its path every vet- itige of Republican power before it enter? ■upon tbe work of reJteinin* its pledges to rthe people. For the first tira j in thiriy- iiwo years the party of Jeff-raon grasps th< treins of government, and it seems that tot •overwhelming majority of the people o ithe Union have every confidence in th sturdy New Yorkei who is to galde th- rfery steeds of progress and advancemen along tbe race course of the future. Wil Democracy redeem her pledges? Let th future answer Already has Chauncey M jD-pew and other- Republican leaders di- •dared that our party will fail utterly ir jiB work and tot fulfillment of its mission. Toe next four years will be evidence ol <tbe fact that they are leading a foilon .hope. Democracy will redeem iis pledges ^Cleveland will be inaugurated on March •4th, 1893, ami preparations are being mac* .to make it the grandest inauguration in th history of the Republic. Aud so it shoul be. From Sheriff in 1872.to Pr sident u J 884, and thrice proclaimed the choice of the maj >rity of tbe American people a: their Cniel Executive—ibis is enough te- •cord to make the city of Washington swam iwiih loyal D.-mocra's from every sectio. •of the Union, proud to pay tribute to lb« .consummate genius, wisdom, and patrio tism of Grover Cleveland. It is cxpectec •that a larger number of people will bt •there toen than on any other occasion it. itbe history of the city, and from Tani- ;tnaoy's 7,000 brave9 down to tbe humid •citizen of the backwoods region, tbere will •be enthusiasm present with wh ch toswee) tbe people of Washington off their fee* ■Georgia wiil be there in style, and several of her crack military companies writ be o hand in tbe procession. The inauguration over, who vill be ir 4be Cabinet? Well, tbe Cabinet maker- have been busy, and bo many and varieu have been the men suggested, that if lbe\ •were all tacked together they would mak< m pretty good crazy quilt. Mr. -Cleveland han't said anything, but at the propei time he will doubtless make up an abb •Cabinet. All talk abont Senator Hill be ing offered a place is the merest bosh. H< is needed in tbe Senate, and the Oemocra ■cy is £Otog to put its leaden in positions where they wiil do the most good. 0 •course Mr. Whitney can have the office ot Secretary of 8tate if be wishes it, but tbe impression prevails that he is casting his •eye forward to 1896, and doesn’t wish to .go into tbe Cabinet. Mr. Harrity is prom inently mentioned, and if he can accept ii without making too great a business aac- s ice he will probably be a member of Mi •C.evetaud’s Cabinet. Gov. Flower, Bourkc CockraD, Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts. •G.ay, of Delaware, Gorman, of Maryland Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, Don M. Dickin son, Benjamin T. C >ble, of Illinois, I aac P Gray, of Indiana, and a long list of prominent Democrats are mentioned What zhare will the South have in the Cabinet? Probably, one member. Among those mentioned from the South are Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon. Jas. H. Blount, of Georgia, General Wade Hampton, ot 8oath Carolina,. Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, aSd Hon. William L. Wilson, of West Virginia. Time will add many others to tbe Hat of those already men tioned. Who will be the lucky ones? No one can tell at this juncture. Political prophets are already after the successors of Cleveland and Steven bod. Jnbt now the prevailing impression is that David B. Hill, of New York, by his mag. nificent work in the campaign just ended, has won the right to be tbe next Demo cratic President after Cleveland. Thf name of William C. Whitney, of New York, is also mentioned with prominence _ while Westerners are looking forward with confidence to the rising foitanes of Adlai E. Stevenson. Gov. Russell, of Massa chusetts, has been suggested as a candi date for Vice-President in 1896. as has also ex-G -v Campbell, c! Ohio. The contest is too far ahead, however, for safe proph ecy. A new star may rise upon tbe polit ical horizon that may light tbe way to victory for all we know now. Crisp’s successor—who will be be ? ‘ Tbe prevailing opinion now throughout the Union is that Crisp will succeed himself as Speaker of the House, although the n-tines of Bynum, of Isdiara, and Wilson, of West Virginia, are being mentioned. The people generally throughout tbe Union however, recognize tbe merit of Speaker Crisp, and demand bis re-election to that office. # —— One of tbe bitterest pills that such men as Elliott Shepard have to swallow is tht fact that the tariff plank in the Chicago platform that swept the whole Union is almost a duplication of tbe fiscal policy ot be Confederate Constitution. The woman suffragists claim that they -j££^ who ire making great headway and will yet re And H ] wind up the list, two prominent Savannah attorneys come in for their -hare of this gossip. One of tbim is Hon. Pope Barrow, for so l«n^ a lime an honor ed resident of Clarke County, an ex-Sena- tor of the TTuiletf" States, and an - able and distinguished man. The other is Hon. Fhming G. DnBIgnon, one of Georgia's brightest and mrev progressive young s’atesmen. Out of such a list of names as that who would be so bold as to venture a prophecy as to the result. Tills much cau be said, however, Georgia could not fail to get a good Senator iu any one of them. And so this article could be extended in definitely in probing into the future. It n ay be that every prophecy may fail, and the unexpected may happen,bnt just paste this up and as tbe races come off refer to ir, and see if tbe winners" are not men tioned in these rambling remarks of An Old Political Observer. A Uouiuv.ung. *'I am net worthy of you, Maud. I am not all I should lie. I have not made the most of my opportunities. But I love you. Will you be mine?” “Acting upon your advice, my dear George,” returned the fair young girl, “I am constrained to say no. I must have a is worthy of me.”—Harper’s oeive recognition throughout tbe Union, vfiis Ella Knowles has attained to the Attorney-Generalship of Montana, and <rs. Lease aspires to Senatorial honors, dot that is a long way from being allowed vote all over tbe Union. The newspapers are worrying them selves to death trying to solve the prob- em whether or not Cleveland said “damn” he other evening at a dinner in New fork. It is not certain whether or not he said it, but if he did say it, be meant it. Coming a little doeer home, what about 'fortben's successor to gubernatorial bon- os? During the early days of the session >f tbe legislature, nearly every politician •nd* prominent leader in tbe Democracy or leorgia was at the Capitol. Naturally bey talked on all kinds of political sub jects, aud amongAthers was this one. And rom the way in which they talked tbere is going to be a lively lime when it comes to selecting the next Governor of tbe Em pire State of the South. “I tell you,” said a leader iu Georgia rolitics, “there goes a man who will be ieorgia’s next Governor.” And he point- i i at tbe large and portly figure of James ff. Smith, of Oglethorpe. “He is a man vho would make Georgia a faithful and ib!e Governor. He has succeeded in farm ing, knows how to look after tbe interests >f the fanner, and if elected would do so .ie is widely known throughout the State, tas a host of friends in every section, has worked hard for Democracy when she iteded him, and is in every way a man tbe people would delight to honor. An able uind, a cool and level head, sagacious judgment and firm determination cofnbioe i» make him an invincible candidate for popular favor. Why in the convention t int sent delegates to Chicago be was sent is a delegate, from the State at large by al ii ust the unanimous vote of tbe conv. n- ioo. Just watch the t vents - that transpire retween now and tbe nomination, and see f James M. Smith, the big farmer of Ogle thorpe county doesn't carry off the prize." The next man met up with didn’t think that way. He said: “Just keep your eye on Steve Clay, of Cobb. There is no ibler or more capable young man in Georgia than he, and his friends ail agree that be is the man for the place, and will run him for it and elect him.” “Just bold on,” said another, “yon nustn’t forget that there is such a man in Georgia as W. Y. Atkinson, of Cowets. Watch him while you are watching, and •ee if he isn't there when it comes to carrying off the prize. He helped Nortben lay the Third party in its last resting place to tbe tune of seventy-one thousand ma jority, and tbe people like him, too.” The retirement of Hon. James B Blount, of Macon, from a twenty years service in congress, doesn't mean that he is through with politics in Georgia by any means. When it comes to naming the next governor his name will probably be ,n tbe hat from which the lucky one is to be. drawn. But the most royal political battle that will be fought In Georgia wall be that for the seat of Senator Colquitt in the United Suites Senate. Already the distant rum ble of the battle can be beard, and when it cornea it will be such a Bight as has never been seen before in the hiatoiy of Georgia. Such an array of statesmen and promi nent leaders as will ask to be honored with this high petition. Of eonrse Sena tor Colquitt will stand for re-election. At least that is the general impression now. And then Governor Nortben, after a four years service as governor would not object to adding to bis distinction tbe name of Senator. Hon. J. H. Blount is mentioned for the place, and it is whispered around that the man who gets the best of A. O. Bacon, of Btbb, will have to do some tall hustling, Bacon and Gordon in the Senate —that would be a stronger coincidence wouldn’t It? Speaker Crisp’e friends will probably urge him for the place, while Congressman Henry G. Turner isn’t remote'probability by any means. Then it may fall to the lot of J. C. C. Black, of Richmond, who presided atTom WatBon’s political funeral, while the friends of Evan P. Howell, of Fulton, Bay he would make a strong race for the place. Too Conscious. For at least two mouths after a man is married he never goes flown tbe aisle to his seat in cbnrch without feeling in tbe back of his neck that everybody is looking at him. As a matter of fact, nobody is pay ing him the least attention. Everybody is ■taring at the bride.—Somerville Journal. Pleasing Hint. He (irritably)—What sort of a supper are we going to have tonight—good or bad? She—Both. Deviled bam and angel cake. —Truth. Shine and Shadow* Said she, “My darling, do not go Until the moon is clouded:” so He waited for a dimmer light In which to hid his love “good night." Bnt when the cloud came sailing by And darkness shrouded earth and sky. He paused to steal one farewell kiss And- lingered at the foot of bliss. Before the final word was sa’d The moon again shone overhead. And he decided not to fly Until another cloud came by. But when again came an eclipse. Again there was a touch of lips. And ere the parting kiss was o'er The moon was shining as before. And thus it went. He could not say “Goodby” when all was bright as day. And when the clouds came by ’twas when He’d other pressing business then. I would not be afraid lo bet They’d be there saying “good night” yet Had not the dawn the heavens lit And warned them it was time to quit. —Nixon Waterman in Chicago Times. She Didn’t Baste the Turkey. Kate, the only servant, hud left without an hour’s rntice, and Mrs. Dunnp was spending a week out of the city. SJo the two girls, Lizzie and Mamie, who had just returned from boarding school, had the housework to attend to, with very limited experience. It was Saturday, and a gentleman was invited to tea the next evening. It was agreed that Lizzie, being the elder, should be cook. Certainly the turkey didn’t taste so nice aa it would have done if mother or Kate bad been at home, hut then they would have it cold for tea, and surely that would be all right. On Suuday evening, after tea, which Liz zie considered a success, she told tbe guest the state of affairs, and of course expected a compliment for her superior cooking. Said the guest: ‘I assure you, Miss Lizzie, your cooking exactly suits my taste, but”—with rather a humorous twinkle in his eye—“did you baste the turkey?” “Basting” and “needles”* were insepa rably connected iu Lizzie’s tuiud, aud she answered indignantly: “Baste it, indeed! Do you think, Mr. O , I sew on Sunday*’’—Detroit Free A Witty Spouse. Husband—As soon as I make any money, my dear. I’ll give you a ring with a very handsome stone.

Wool—Your native New Yorker pro nounces some words very curiously. For instance, for “girls” he says “gulls.” Van Pelt—Does that strike you as curi ous?—New York Herald. Parlor Dramas. Nearly every courtship might truthfully be called a parlor drama, from the fact that both tbe parties of the first pert are much “made up,” and do a good deal of very neat acting. Occasionally a lit-tle brother or sister who has been permitted to go behind the scenes and to learn of things not intended to be made known to the public, innocent ly points out some of the weak places that «l • simply gilded over. One such little brother, of an inquiring turn of mind, said to his sister’s “steady coi: ; ny,” when they two were alone to- gethcr: “Mr. ray smith, do you weigh very much?” “About 150 pounds, my little man,” the hopeful lover responded. “Do you think sister could lift you?” tbe Iby continued. “Ob, goodness, no!” said the young man, blushing at the mere thought; “but why do yon ask?” ^ “I don’t believe she can either, bat I beard her tell masbe was going to throw yon over as soon as she could.”—Tit-Bits. Not a Murderer. Tbe merchant was notoriously close, and his clerks were not fond of him. One day he called one of the best of them into his private office “Charles,” he said slowly, “what would you do if I were to double your salary?” “Fall dead on the spot,” exclaimed the young man. The old man’s face reddened. “ Well,** be said, “I do not wish to be come a murderer, bo we*ball let it remain at the old figures,”.and Charles went ont and asked the porter to hit him a whack iu the bac-k with a dray pin.—Exchange. — Reward of Merit.
