Populists anil Republicans,
vs
The Democrats.
This is the way the situation now
appears.
There is no doubt in the minds of
those who have been studying the pol
ities of the state that the leaders of
the Populist and Republican parties
have formed a combination to defeat
the state Democratic ticket hi the
coming October elections.
Intimations of this were given
many months agm and recent actions
of these leaders, and the acquiescence
of local leaders all over the state have
thoroughly substantiated the idea.
In our opinion, this is the purpose
and end which the Republicans have
held in view ever since the Popu
list party has been in existence
It has been one of their scheemes
in the constant assistance they have
rendered the Populist party to break
if they could the Solid South.
The Democratic phalanxes of the
South have always been a menace to
the Republicans of the North and they
have used every method known to
their] ingenuity to disintegrate this
unswerving strength that has so stub
bornly faced their selfish principles
ever since the Southern states were,
rescued from the carpet baggers after
the war.
The succes of the Populist party in
the South has been an increasing
delight to them from the very begin
ing and they have laugh and in tlie : r
sleeves at the brightening possibilities
of the accomplishment of that pot
h >bby they have so long cherished—
of breaking the Solid South, and ar
raying the Southern people against
one another.
• No home over was broken up by
the slander of outsiders. It must be
gin by dissention and discord within.
No nation ever died from incursions
without. All that have gone to pieces
have dona so from internal wars and
the liarrangues of their own people.
The Republicans know tills and they
rejoice to sec the South quarreling
and fusing within itself, trying to
carry two political parties that are at
loggerheads; for as soon as they see
the light is well balanced between the
two, they will be the dog to step in
and get the bone.
Now, we have not one spark of en
'lWHy.toward any man in the Poptt
4y>.'"tnirt*ti i Some of them are among
and all of them are
especially those in Cof
fee county. For our part, we expect
to held them as friends and n igh
bors. knowing full well that we are
obliged to live together and that other
wise than in unison and peace means
the fate of that house which is divid
ed against itself. This very fact, how
ever, is one of the strong reasons why
we as a people should not subscribe
to the Populist doctrine or vote
with the Populist party. In view of
the purpose which the Republicans
have in trying to divide our people
and take oil'the spoils, it is the more
Important why we should stand hv the
Democratic party and pull together.
Rut says some one, “the Democratic
party is doing not! ing for us.” AW
should like to ask what more the Pop
ulist party can do. All that ever has
been done for tis has been done by the
Democratic party, and because dis
sent ion has been sown in our ranks
and we are, for that reason more than
any other, in the throws of financial
distress, ;s no good cause for us to u
luindon the party which has liberated
us from the evils that faced us after
the war and made us strong in our
very weakness.
Outside of a few unreasonable
schemes which never can be consu
liiated. the Populist party promises us
no more than the Democratic party,
and every man in our county will ac
knowledge that the Democratic prin
ciples are what is best for our section
and are just what he wants for the
government of his own state; then,
why will that same mau turn away
from a party that is founded on those
very'prineiples aml |foKo,v after one
that promises, to cany out these ptin
cipies. but which is infinitely less able
to carry them out and which has noj
better intention to do so than the!
Democratic party. We admit that;
the principles we love have not always j
been maintained in the Democratic'
party, but we must remember that we
; and you were the Democratic party
when these failures were made, and if
you have changed to the Populist you |
arc the same person that you were ;
as a Democrat and will he no better
able to hold that party faultless and I
j guiltless than you were to maintain so j
j the Democratic party. Then what !
have you gained and what will you ■
gain by this charge? discord and,
party strife with your nearest neigh- j
bor, that is all. A quarrel with your
home folks, is your sole answer.
A fusion cf the Populists and Re
publicans in a state ticket means ade- j
termination to place Georgia once
more under Republican rule ; for the
Republican!! are to have two leading
places on the ticket, whether whites
or negroes we do not know, and the
rest of the places go to the Populist, and
there are strong reasons to believe
thatCuffy will have his share of these.
Whoever votes the Populist ticket
will sec whflt he is doing for his state,
and we warn every man in Coffee
county —for you are our friends —to
weigh this question and not to do
what will enslave us to a party and its
principles vviiice are entirely out of
symyathy with our section and its
people.

The McDonald and Douglas railroad
is steadily improving in track and ef
ficiency of management. Since the
steel rail lias been put down it rides as
well as other roads. Douglas is proud
of her railroad.
Fitzhugh Lee has been appoin'ed

Cleveland shows his generosity toward

A fusion lias been decided on be
tween the populists and Republicans,
in which the Republicans are to have
two of the state house offices and the
Populists the rest. We wonder how
many poor Cliffy is to have.

A man named Simmons is said to
have declined to become the private
