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 dollars in ti e improvement of the j j college. Old Wesleyan is the iincst j institution of its kind in the South, | and our people can do no better than , j send their girls there to be educated. Its new president. Dr, llammoud, is j oTie of the linest educators in the j | South, and Mrs. Cobb, the lady >rin- 1 leipal, is not to be excelled anywhere on the continent. AX NO I’XU EM. ENTS.
