The Evil Still Remains.
The cr/ for a white primary and secret

The buying and selling of votes goes
right c'ong just the same as of old. The
purchasable vote among the whites ap
peals to be just r* approachable as tha
negro vote only it cost a great dee’ more.
The municipal election in Augusta
Tuesday demonstrated this very plainly.
Augusta had a white prime y aud a se
cret billot, but the news through the
lig dallies is that the election cost the
two candidates for mayor $50,000, and
that white men were pr/d as high as
$15,000 for their vote. When white
men become so degraded, that they will
sell their franchise, the country'is get
ting in a bad condition, and it is a diffi
cult matter for us to believe the world
is growing better, purer and g auder
with this disgrace on onr ci\ lizatiou.

Atlanta’s New Depot.
Outside of the members of the legis
lature and the speci** 1 pet' of Atlanta
and those few great Statesraen(?) pro
miscuously scattered p-ound, who de
light to fawn at the feet of certain in
fluences inirnio ’ to the best interest of
the people generally, itisqr'te amusing
to notice the g.eat importance attached
to the b’' : ’(”ng of a magnificent depot.
for that city by the state at le-ge.
The above class bitterly oppose and
ridicule government ownership of pub*
lie nti'it'eo that would benefit r'l the
people, but ere strong advocates of gov
ernmont ownership of a depot for the
benefit of Atlanta
We word like to see a fine depot for

Died of “Desuetude.”
; In The Advocate, Cr rolton, Ga.
Now that the Democratic party is
dead we take please"e in inviting the
former members of that party to join
in the young vigorous Populist party.
By the help of all honest democrat’ the
populists can get control of the State
and Union by another election and we
would have an ideal government. Of
course mmy democrats wou’d uevar
leave that party as long as there was
any hope of it as a national organiza
tioo. Bat it ha3 died of “desuetude”
not by any means “innocuous” and all
real true patriot”! should rejoice that
the stumbling block is removed from
the path of jforiu Now we can all
pull together in the Peop'es party. Old
scores will not be remembered against
democrats seeking affttation with us.
They w’U be received with open r -ms,
nnd treated kindly on aH occasions
Prominent democrat! have declp~ed if
that p?~ty con'd not win this race, with
every thing in it! favor there would
nevir be any use iu iti running a na
tions’ ticket again So no one need
hope for a resurrection.
Derr brothers of the former demr
cratic party, we say to you: Br- y your
dead out of sight, dry your tears and
come over into the only in this
country that for years hao advocated
any real democratic principle and that
is the party of the People. There you
will receive warm welcome and soon
be comforted for aH your loss.

The Georgia Legislatn-e hr- been in
session t v ree weeks, a'id up to Tnesdav
night had passed one bid of general ap
plication. Nealy all of its time has
been taken up in visiting fairs, carni
vals, horse shows, midway attractions
and the like, aud playing politics in the
matter of small loor’VUs, the majority
of which were no doubt designed to give
some “corrtho'jse eliqn ” a stronger
pull It is su f e to say that all of the need
ful business that hr. • so f; • been done at
th’s session con’d be easily compressed
into one week. How long are the tax
payors going to aubar't to be ridden by
tha politicians in this manner? Bienni
al sessions woud put a stop to a very
great deal of the wanton waste of the
people’s time and money by legislators.
The above from the Savannah News
is rather hard on it ; Democratic legis

“Despotism” in Georgia.
In his message to the G orgia Legisla
ture Governor Candler recommends an
amendment to the State Constitution
ptov.dng for "a qualified suffrage ba~s
ed on an education a' or a property qua’-
ification or both.” Governor Candler
mr.kei th ; s recommendation “in the in
terest of good gevernment ami in the
interest of the negro rat incidentally,
wepre ume,:n the interest of the Crack
er Democrr .-y.
If the propo'ed restrictions are to bind
both white and black who a-e illiterate
and w'thout property, there can bo no
| good D .oc’id of objection, iibtsic the
! coarse of suffrage in the United State;
hassteadiV w dened, and no political
party in the North would dare to advo
cate such obstructions to universal sn*-
frage as the Georgia Governor advo
cates. Almost everybody who is not a
pauper, a tramp or a convict without
property pays t: ~es in reality if not
nominally. There is no way f.om fly
ing away from taxes, but the old sjstena,
once found in so many State Constitu
tions, of making the possession of pro
perty of a cert .in amount a requisite
either for voting at all or for voting for
certain specified officers, is no longer
attractive. In spite of the lugubrious
catterwauliugs of th 9 Bryanites, the
country is much more democratic than
it used to be. It is a 1 most amusing to
find the Georgia r- nters a.gr nst pluto
c. acy getting ready to sit up a pluto
cracy, for such a government with a
property qua'ification for tho suffrage
would be.
Some of the Georgia Bryauites pre
tend to be mighty frightened on account
of the “despotism” which they say that
the Republicans r~e not going to found
in the Philippines. Gradual self gov
eminent, with a suffrage not more re
stricted than Governor Candler want!
to see in Goorgia, is the worst despo
tism that will be established in the Phil
ippines. And.note that there, new rights
wi'l be given A’liile in georgia some e x
isting rights rre to be taken away.—
