Ga. as second-class mail matter.
Fill DAY, JULY hi, j Stto.
THE JMiIMAKY.
Tomorrow's primary will end the
family struggle of the democrats and
commence their fight with the enemy
in good earnest.
Jt should not be necessary fora
home people to have any differences
so large that they cannot be sr tiled
in the primary of a single party, but
thus it has become, and we have two
distinct factious of neighbors, friends
and relatives warring for the suprem
acy of local government. The cause
that has brought Ibis condition
about we do not believe to be a suf
ficient warrant to maintain it, There
have been grievances within the na
tional deni cratic party we arc willing
to admit, but they did not furnish
good enough reasons to drive men out
of the local organization and cause
our people to divide in their home gov
ernment. As lung as Sou tll< rn people,
reared in the same localities, living
under the identical principles of gov
ernment, are separated and in harmo
nious in those principles, it is certain
that they cannot institute progressive
movements or maintain them when
instituted. Progress is tlie outcome
of unity and harmony of action, and
discord is its most potent antcdote.
In our political all'iirs, democratic
principles are admitted to be the rules
of action best fitted to our people, the
democratic party is in the supremacy
and beyond a doubt, it is necessary
to maintain this supremacy if we
would have the most excellent form of
local government. Then, .if those
who have broken away will not return
to the party and help to restore the
unity that is so needful among us, it
is the more exigent that the party
itself should draw closer together and
hold intact the local 1 tiles which are
host for us.
After to-morrow, it will he the duty
of every true democrat to put aside
every disappointment, overrule every
presentment of jealousy, and lend his
best efforts to the support of his fel
lows, his brothers in the democratic
family. If we fail to do this, if some
candidate allows his defeat to pique
his pride till ho sees all kinds of injus
tice in his failure t > get the nomina
tion. then some other man will sym
pathize with him and ihc contagion
will spread until a coldness or discord
will work us defeat in the general
election and we shall continue to have
a poor service in our county affairs.
It is a time for candidates to bo big
hearted and big-minded, and put
down all selfishness for the good of
the party and the community. The
primary will he perfectly fair and no
man will have a right to grumble
about the result. If any candidate is
dissatisfied beforehand he should re
fuse to go into it if he cannot obtain
a redress of his grievance. Let no
man raise his voice after the result
has been declared. If a discrepancy
should occur iu the primary, it will
he the duty of tlie plaintiffs to bring
it before the executive committee
Monday where the wrong will be
righted, and it is most likely that ev
ery man will receive a just considera
tion of Ins complaints.
Ihe idea that should control is uni
tv, and if some man should have to
sacrifice his pride or even his just
claim, better to do that and let the
future reward him for his manhood,
which it will inevitably do, whereas, if
he should disrupt his party it will cer
tainly dispel his opportunity for future
Success.
It matters not which party may
succeed. Georgia is on the band wag
on.
There may not be so much honor
in the populist nomination (since ii
will not likely succeed), but whatever
there is, Watson is worthy of it.
To he sure it was manly in Mr.
Bryan to refuse the populist nomina
tion which did not include his run
ning mate. Mr. Sewall: but that was
no more th.au was expected of him.
The < oui ier Mill Kirks.
Kicking at the sunbeams, kicking'
in the air, kicking at the silhouettes j
of a disordered brail'.
Why did not the Courier endeavor i
to explain away tome of the muddlej
it had wabbled into the weak before, |
in lieu of making anew effort to stir i
tip Htrifs in the democratic party?
The trouble with the Courier is that j
it had no valid excuse for its blunders
of the previous issue and it sought to!
turn away attention by a splenetic at
tack on one section of the county to
satisfy what it deemed to be the senti
ment of another.
The Courier should know by this
period of life that it does not “pay” to
arraign friends against friends, neigh
bors against neighbors and districts
against districts.
In our issue before the the last we
expressed our disapproval of some un
fair suggestions made by the Courier
in regard to the negro vote of the
county, fn the last issue of the Cou
rier, tha 1 sheet bursts forth in a con
glomeration of nothingness in which
it succeeded in landing one point as
follows:
“Again we remind the Breeze that
it is the opinion of the people of this
district that the Douglas Ring has
sought and would seek now, unfair
means to defeat a candidate at this
end of the woods, it one of the court
house hoys could he pulled around
the curbstone and nominated.”
Now, if the courier thinks that it
can make votes for its candidate or
win the favor of the Willacooehee
district by trying to incense its peo
ple against, the Douglas district or
against a candidate who chances to
hail from that district by a populistic
outcry oi the “Douglas Ring,” then,
it is badly mistaken and it charges
the good people of its own district with
being a set of fools, deep set with
spleen and envy.
We know them to be otherwise.
They do not harbor any ill will toward
the Douglas district or toward Judge
Ward who happens to be a candidate
from this district. The sensible peo
ple of that district know there is no
such tiling as the “Douglas Ring,”
and when the Courier takes up that
old echo of the populists, it only belit
tles i self in the minds of good demo
crats and weakens its cause and candi
date with the people.
The Douglas district respects Dr.
Wilcox and lie has admirers and sup
porters hero, and nobody desires to
say that lie is the candidate of the
Willacoochce Ring, or that that amag
inary combine would ‘pull him around
(ho curbtsone’ and nominate him by
unfair means. • We know it is not so.
The trouble with the Courier is that
it is not a democialic paper, and it is
trying to straddle the fence with the
populists and sow discord in the ranks
of democracy. Democrats should not
notice or he led by it. A paper that
tries to stand with two parties and
will not stand by either is not a stake
to tie to, and the man or candidate
who does it will weaken himself.
Coffee county democracy is not di-
"ided into factions and districts: it is
one, and if we remain so our success is
assured. At least, we should not allow
a populo—demtrcra-publicau paper to
break us up.
Where will Bro. Tyson start his
next paper?
The indications are that William J.
Bryan will be our next president.
II r. Bryan neither drinks spiritu
jous liquors nor uses tobacco in any
I form.
The populists are not all office seek
ers, evidenced by the St. Louis con
vention.
Let everv democrat vote to-morrow
-
so that the best and strongest men
will be run in the general election.
It new appears why Mr. Watson
| did not attend the St. Louis conven
tion :he was playing the modest act.
Tom Watson has reached next to
' the zenith of his glory. Well. Tom
; deserves some glory : he has borne iris
share of iugloriousness.
Since the populists nominated Mr.
Bryan in the face of his refusal, it is
n.O longer a matter of his Jconsidrra
tion. Of course, he cannot prove nt or
oppose their support.
It is not surprising that Mr. Morton
cannot till “.vhero Mr. Brant!e>
stands". He does not seem to know
enough to define his own position,
uud how ean a small brain stretch
around the ideas of a great man?
