DEMOCRATIC TICKET-
ron president :
OROVER CLEVELAND
OF NEW YORK.
roit vice-president:
ADLAI E. STEVENSON,
OF ILLINOIS.
FOR CONORE88:
HON. F. C. TATE,
OF PICKENS.
From the breeze:
From Pickena east to Habersham
From Kabtin to Gwinnett,
The cry Is Tate! Hurrah for Tatell
And he’ll win the race—you bat!
The People’s party Pickett line
are being picked off every day by
our Democratic sburp-shooters.
More wheat thun usual bus
been sowed in the county this
fall, owing to the tine dry wenth-
er we have had.
We venture to say that White
county has the worst scared lot
of candidates for county offices of
any place in the state. All good
men, but badly scared.
Governor Northen was formally
inaugurated on Suturday Oct.,
29th for a second term. Chief
Justice Bleckley administered the
oath.
Remember that Tuesday is elec
tion day, and it is your duty to
go to the polls and vote. Only
see that your ticket roads Clovo-
land and Tate.
Never in the history of the
country huvo young mules sold
so cheaply ns now. A fine pair
«f six months old, were sold for
thirty-five dollars each, last Sat
urday.
The way to make democratic
voters is to see that all Demo
crats go to the polls and vote,
it is welt enough to look after
recruits in a campaign, but it
should only be ns a side issue, as
it were. One Democrat who re
mains away from tho polls is one
vote lost. It requires no pre
vious labor to socuro that vote,
all that it necessary is to know
that tho voter goes to tho polls.
—Gainesville Eagle.
It behooves every Democrat to
bo on tho outlook for next Tues
day. Because tho election for
Curler Tate is said to bo a for
gone conclusion, and because
Georgia will seud up a solid voto
for Cleveland, is no reason for
tho least abatement of interest in
these matters.
A safo race is said to be a dan-
genius race, and it is unwise pol
icy to throw away your weapons
before tho enemy surrenders.
Although Carter Tate may safely
count his majority at six thou
sand, it is a safo plan to remain
on the defensive until tho final
blow has been struck.
We have been repeatedly ques
tioned why wo have not given
the details of tho difficulty that
occurred between the editor of
this paper and Thud. Picket,
when that candidate of notorious
fame spoke hero. Wo answer,
that tho columns of our paper be
long to our readers, and we would
regai-d the publication of person
al affairs an intrusion on their
rights and presumptious ou our
own part. Besides, we promised
J.o give yoq a clean paper, any
we should hrpalf opr promise if
we gave you th e words that ltcv.
Pickett, example of purity and
piety, used op that occasion.
Furthermore, tl>o affair cJove)oj»-
od into one entirely personal, and
although, wo said nothing that-
we would not repeat aguiu, did
the occussion warrant it, we arc
puturally averse to making pub
lic property of our personal af
fairs.
Vote? Demoomtnl
Let us impress it upon every
Democrat, that it is a duty, al
most sacred, that he should come
out to the polls next Tuesday and
vote.
The right of suffrage is a privilege
which none should regurd light
ly. and the right, exercise of this
privilege, is our only guaranty of
safety.
It is your duty as a freo man
and a citizen to vote; it is a duly
you owe yourself and your neigh
bor; it is a duty you owe the
generations growing up around
you; it is a duty you owe to gen
erations yet unborn, that you
should exercise this privilege;
above all, it is a sacred duty,
that you should lay aside malice,
and prejudice, and vote for men,
whom you conscionciously be-
leivo to be pure, honest, and ca-
pablo of discharging the trust
placed upon them by the people.
Just such a man is Grover
Cleveland—u man to whom his
bitterest enemies, universally
yield the palm for honesty.
Another honest man is Carter
Tut©—a man without a smirch on
his record; a man so clean mor
ally and politically, that even his
blackguard opponent Thnd. Pick
ett can sny nothing against him.
Come out Tuesday and bring
your twenty-oiie-ycnr-rold sons
and cousins and uncles and broth
ers, and loud a helping hand in
voting down such political rene
gades ns Weaver and Pickett.
A FINAL APPEAL.
Wo make one last appeal to
every honest People’s Party man,
asking him to lay aside all polit
ical prejudice, and reason with
us for one moment. You intend
to voto a People’s party ticket;
wo ask that you answer yourself
these questions, honestly before
doing so. What do you promise
yourself by. such, action? Can
you promise yourself anything
by voting for a party led by such
mou its. Weaver, Book and Post?
Cau you promise yourself any
thing by supporting a party in
whose platform you full to dis
cover ono resolution offering you
any real relief? Cun you lend
your aid to n party whoso plat
form utterly ignores the great
question of tho day—the tariff—
mid offers you in its stead a sys
tem of taxation which would
keep you and your children slaves
cs to monoply for three genera
tions? Cun you support a party
that favors your wives and daugh
ters being brought into court to
serve on juries, and compelled to
rally at tho polls, like men? Do
you believe anything good can
cmenutc from a party that re
gards intelligence, virtue and
temperance, ns second in consid
eration to money? Aro you doing
right when you espouse tho cause
of a party, which is clearly prov
en tho bustard offspring of tho
Republicans, sent south for no
other purpose than to disrupt
our solidity? What relief do
you expect your vote for a
party that is dissolving more
rapidly than it formed—a party
now in its death struggle to bring
you? Will your voto, cast for
tho 1‘eople’s party candidate in
crease your corn crop next year,
or make your cotton worth ono
cent per pound more? Como
down to the bottom of the mat
ter and answer—if you can expect
any relief from a parti already
so weak that it cun not stand
without Kepublicrn props, and
growing weaker every day?
Wo trust every voter who reads
this will consider the questions
intelligently; that he will an
swer himself honestly; that lie
will throw of the delusions placed
upon him by offico seeking dema
gogues ; that ho will assert his
right and independence once
ipoyc; that ho will march to the
polls next Tuesday and there do
a thing i» the example of his
father; that be will cast a vote
for the Democratic champions—
Uroyer Cleveland and Carter
Tate,
Vote for Cleveland and Tate.
Thad. Pickett
The “North tjiist Georgian,” a
prohibition paper published at
Dcmorest Ga., is having a little
tiff with the Rev. Thaddcus Pick
ett, about an cditoiiul it publish
ed in Oct., in which it said:
“Thousands of people’s party
men are very strongly favorable
to prohibition, and yet, in their
convention in the Ninth Congres
sional district, they defeated
Winn, who voted and worked for
prohibition, and nominated Thad.
Pickett, the only preacher that
the saloons of Atlanta could hire
to make speeches against prohi
bition. liow can a prohibitionist
vote for him.”
Needless to say, the roverned
divine lost his temper, and brands
the editorial ns a malicious lie,
admitting at the same time that
lie did make the speech referred
to, but denies having been paid
for it. In reply, the North East
Georgian proceeds to deliver it
self us follows:
“We do not wish to do tho
Rev. politician any injustice; wo
will not even stop to inquire if
anybody believes lie was not paid
by the saloons; we have his word,
and we are disposed to give him
the full benefit of his denial; he
says the charge that he took mon
ey is a malicious lie.
Very well. We shall do just
what ho expected us to do. We
shall most humbly ask Pickett’s
pardon for intjuiatiiig that lie
was paid for his saloon speech in
Atlanta, and, on his representa
tion, we aro willing to withdraw
that part of our editorial and
substitute the following it its
place:
Thad. Pickett, the only preach
er in Georgia, who whs low
enough, and mean enough, to go
to Atlanta, of his own free will
and accord, without money, and
without hope of pay, and do tho
dirty work of the saloon doggeri
es, free of charge.
This is the honor that Thud.
Pickett claims and which we
freely accord him. lie docs not
deny defending tho whisky side
—^ ut 1l c take money for it.'
IlSHoelmot ileny ligfitrngagainst
tho side mi which tho Christian
manhood and womanhood of At
lanta were solidly massed—hut
got no pay for it. Tho charge of
having done vile work for a vile
institution does not chafe him—
ho did it for love of tho saloon,
and not from mercenary motives.
It is not from mercenary mo
tives that this sumo Thnd. Pick
ett makes his campaign for con
gress among the “blockade still-
ers” of his district by tclliiur
them bo would let everybody
make whiskey and sell it us free
as milk.
AVo suppose it was uo mercen
ary motive that prompted him to
say in tho presence of some peo
ple who listed tho Methodist
church, “Theie is no Methodist
about mo except what I drew iu
from my mother's milk and 1
would to God 1 could throw that
up.”
It could not have been from
“mercenary motives” that he
deserted from the army and “hid
out” till tho close of the war to
avoid beiiiff shot for his coward
ice.
It was no “mercenary motivo”
which led this same Pickett to
secretly “set up” a job to heat
Tom. Winn out of tho nomina
tion for Congress and get it him
self by lying and chicanery.
AA’c hope you will forgive us,
Thad. for having intimated that
you could lie “hired” to do dirty
work. AVe know now, because
you have told us, that you do* it
just for the pleasure it gWes
you."
It rarely occurs that an unsol)^
ited letter of commendation frfltoi
so high a source, finds its jjSjyl
into our sanctum, ns one wo’tt-
ceived this week. We trust that
it is with pardonable pride thft
we give it to our readers.
Editors Cleveland Progress:
Allow me to speak a word in
commendation of your paper. It
is showing itself to be a bright
and interesting sheet. Its signs
of improvement are manifest. A
touch of intellect is a great orna
ment to a public journal.
Your last issue, or that of Oct.,
28th, was especially deserving.
The editorials were interesting
and well timed and other matter
well selected. The pujicr is of
{ fluid material, well printed and
might and neat. The two poems
on the secoud page, were charm
ing, one contributed by J. L. D.,
and the other selected from the
Constitution and written by
Frank L. Stanton, one of Geor
gia’s true poets. Let us have
more of such.
Taking my observations from
a very high point of view, you
must allow my gratuitous advice,
namely: “Spare not the edito
rial pen and look well to the proof
reading." Yonaii Mountain.

A CAMPAIGN LIE
RUN TO EARTH.
A MALICIOUS LIE HATCHED BY A
DISAPPOINTED VULTUE,
HAILED.
We purposely held back the
publication of this paper one day
in order that we might brand as
n lie a certain report, that is be
ing industriously circulated by
disappointed political vultures,
who hoped to make capital of it,
and hurt Carter Tate.
The report is being circulated
by one Marion C. Smith and bis
father., Allison Smith, that Mr.
Tate had written them u letter,
in reply to one from them asking
for money for campaign purposes,
saying that he had 8500 with A.
II. Henderson in Cleveland, and
telling him to go to Henderson
for the money.
The statement is a deliberate!
