THU NOAH N ATION.
The policy of tin Breeze on the fi
nancial problem has been unequivo
ca’ly for sound money, notwithstand
ing the fact that we have said very
little about it. YVe hold the same
views now that we have held through
out the money campaign. But. the
sound money policy has been defeated
by a good majority in the democratic
ranks. YVe are laigi ly in the minor
ity. YY’c have been beaten. The
question being an .economic one, we
submit. YY’e subordinate our views to
the will of the majority. Let the
majority rule till they become the
minority, if their policy become ru
inous the people will repudiate it. I fit
l>o good we shall enjoy a share of its
benefit. Withal, it cannot efleet us
disastrously.
The majority have formulated a
platform and nominated a ticket.
While we do not agree with,the plat
form in full, the greater part we do
endorse. The part we do not like, we
can leave to he advocated by the ma
jority. The ticket nominated is the
most acceptable the free silver ele
ment could have selected. Bryan is
an honest man with ability, represen
ting the professional life of America.
Bewail is a typical American business
man, ami there is nothing repugnant
about either.
Democracy has nominated them.
Georgia has endorsed them, our inter
est is with them and our support
shall bo for them. Lot others holt
and go where they please : we have
planted our buttery with the Chicago
convention and we shall stand by the
guns till the battle is lust or won.
THK Cl It IE It KICKS.
Editor I'ackler becomes grievously
upset on account of the action
of the democratic executive
committee in debarring the negroes
from the primary, and asks some pe
culiar questions.
Inquires he, “Can we expect the
negroes .0 vote with us in October af
ter they have been excluded from any
participation in the primary?’’ Why,
to be sure wo can. Expect it just as
much as we ever did. The negro
never has never beeii allowed justly
to vote in the democratic primary, he
knows very well that he has no right
to, and he does not care or expect to
now. If we should allow him to vote
in our primary, it would be undento
dcmocrutic, and he would know it to
be a trick merely to catch his vote.
Should the democrats stoop to mean
little tricks and bow down and scrape
around the negro in order to control
the negro vote or to make sure of
election even? Better stay out of
oflice. The populist party is not go
ing to allow the negroes to participate
in its primary (it- mas-meeting—the
same). If it should do so everybody
will know that it stultified itself, as
the negro is no more a populist than
he is a democrat.
Another—“ Can the negroes he kept
from voting in October simply because
they have been excluded from
the 1 uguet primary? If so all right,’’
What an outspoken dishonor have we
here! Does Editor Faultier mean “all
right" to such a dishonest policy?
Let’s not suppress them in August
when we have the right to do so, hut if
it may he done in October when such
an effort would be a crime, “all right,”
says he. we have heard of such po
litical dishonesty being practiced, but
never before knew the press openly to.
advocate it. Surely Editor Fackler
did not write this, but carelessly allow
jeil some unscrupulous politician to
impose 011 him.
lie goes on—“lf net (if we cannot
suppress the negroes in October) we
think it best to let them vole in the
primary in order that we may be able
!to illuonee them to vote with os in
October.” For the Lord s sake, what
| wouldn’t a man like that do to get a
i few negro votes and to get his man
elected? We are sure the people of
j the Willacoochee district do not
I sanction any such rottenness : we cau-
I not believe any candidate would he so
willful, and it is a dead certainty that
Chairman Peterson and the democrat
ic committee will entertain no such
unprincipled schemes to elect the
democratic nominees. If they cannot
be. elected fairly (and they can, for the
democrats arc safely in the majority
in the county) then it is time ‘o give
up to the populists and let them rule.
IiKT I’AHIXESS I ’111:V \ I]..
When Mr. Elias Lott was being so
licited by democrats all over the coun
ty to run for the legislature, the pop
ulist, realizing that lie would most
surely be elected if nominated, brought
to bear much pressure to prevent him
from entering the race. Mr. Lott, be
ing n quiet man, 11 great lover of his
home and his people and averse to
any sort < f contention, advised his
friends that he had no desire to run
for lteprescntative, but if the people
demanded him and the democratic
party would offer no other man for
the place, he would make the race.
This is his exact position in the race,
and by a tacit agreement throughout
the county, the democrats have ac
quiesced in this position.
Some of the populists, however, arc
resorting to extreme measures to get
Mr. Lott out of the race. They haye
propegated a number of schemes to
misrepresent him to the people, some
of which are to circulate reports to
the effect that he docs not intend to
make the race, at all, unless both par
ties are a unit in his nomination.
This is childish. Anybody ought
to know that Mr. Lott was aware that
such a condition was next to impossi
ble. He knew that the populists
would oppose lum when he went into
tho race and he did not count on their
endorsement,
lie is charged withhaving
been intluenecd to run by the
“Douglas ring.” Well, if there had
been any such power as the “Douglas
ring” it would likely have used its
influence to get Mr. Lott in the race ;
for it certainly would have realized his
strength and his right to the nomina
tion. Of course the “Douglas ring’is an
imaginary devil in the minds of the
populists, and they are using such im
pious powers to prosper their cause.
They are now using all their persua
sion to induce Mr. Dan Lott. Br. to
run on the populist ticket against his
blether, in order that the family in
lluonee may be divided. Well, of
course, Mr. Lott has a perfect legal
right to enter tho race against his
brother, but such a course could not
conduce to family strength and har
mony. and ho surely cannot expect
Mr. Elias Lott to retire from his can
didacy, in that he (Elias l.ott) was in
the race long before the populist pre
sented the sujeet to Mr. Dan Lott.
Mr. Elias Lott, the democratic can
didate, requests us to say that he is
in the race to stay and all reports to
the contrary are false. We predict
that he will be elected by a 3ho ma
jority.
The trustees of Wesleyan Female
College will spend fifteen thousand
