SIX I’AGKK.
Jn order to accommodate nil who
desire to advertise this fall and winter
we have decided to add one more page
to the Breeze, and, perhaps, two.
The managers of the paper have
been compelled to reject a few good,
cash paying, advertisements recently
owing to the crowded condition of our
columns. While we dislike to turn ofl
advertisers we are hound to reserve a
certain number of columns for news.
Our readers want the news and we do
not propose to disappoint them by
filling all our space with advertise
ments. in order to and >
justice to our business and not de
crease our number of news columns,
we will, commencing with our issue
of September Ith, enlarge the Breeze
to a six page paper.
We are determined to Keep fully
abreast of the times. Improvement
shall be our watchword until the
Breeze becomes the best weekly news
paper in the Brunswick circuit.
Douglas is growing and Coflee coun
ty is prospering and the Breeze must
grow and prosper with them.
Kryaii Takes a Host.
Chairman Jones gave out the Bryan
program last Saturday, and il is full
of interest.
It has been decided that Mr. Bryan
will enter actively into the campaign
on or about September Ist and contin
ue on the stump until election day.
Jn order to obtain needed rest and to
prepare his letter of acceptance, before
bis speech-making begins, he will
spend the next two weeks at Barry
town, New York, on the Hudson river.
The visit to Maine and other New
England states will, therefore, be post
poned until the latter part of Septem
ber, when Mr. Bryan will make a num
ber of speeches in that section.
To a representative of one of the
press associations Mr. Bryan made the
following explanation of the reading
of his notification speech:
"Knowing that it would be printed
in full, I thought it more important
that it should reach in correct form
the millions who will read it than
that the delivery should please the
fj thousands who were present. It
is always unfortunate when a speaker
is compelled to read a political speech,
hut in this instance 1 thought it best
Sot to risk the errors which always
creep into the report of an extempo
raneous speech.'”
DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
Two months ago the leading demo
crats of the country, as well as the
rank and tile of the party, .were thor
oughly disheartened and disorganized
and had very little if any hopes of
success in the November election. Re
cently the sentiment in this regard
has changed very greatly, and there
some reason to believe that a Demo
cratic president will succeed Grover
Cleveland in the White house.
Of course the question of success or
defeat cannot he determined now, in
view of the present unsettled condi
tion of public sentiment, but most men
will agree that the prospects for Dem
ocratic success are much brighter now
than a short time ago, and,the Breeze
attributes it to the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. He is making a noble attempt
to bring all factions of the party to
gether.
The Breeze figures Mr. Bryan’s
vote this way:
Alabama 11
Arkansas 6
California 9 (close)
Colorado 4
Florida 4
Georgia Hi
Idaho 3 (reasonablysafe)
Illinois 24 (close)
Indiana 15 (close)
Kansas Id
Kentucky Li
Louisiana 8
Mississippi 9
M issouri 17
Montana 3
Nebraska 8
Nevada 3
N. Carolina 11
N. Dakota 3
Oregon 4 (close)
b. Carolina 9
Tennessee 12
Texas 15
Utah _ 3
Virginia 12
Wyoming 3
Total 234
Necessary to elect 221.
Jf Bryan fails to carry any of the
above staets lie will have a fighting
chance in lowa, (13 votes) Maryland,
(8 votes) Minnesota, (0 votes) and
perhaps in other states of the north
west.
SIiWALIi SAYS “NIT,"
Sewall says lie nas no intention of
withdrawing as the vice presidential
end of the ticket. lie made his posi
tion plain in an interview last Friday,
when he said :
“I was nominated by the Democrat
ic party, of which I have always been
a member, and that party has not rt
eonsidered its action. I have since
been endorsed by the silver party.
Under these circumstances I have no
right to think of withdrawing. This
is a campaign of principles, a cam
paign of the common people against
the oppressive financial policy of this
country which is strangling prosperity.
It is a campaign which I have long
wished to see made in a cause which
1 have advocated many years and I
shall not shrink from the trail. And
the people are studying the question
for themselves. This means that we
shall win.”
(.’apt. Ben Milikin is a good man,
l ut Brantley is better qualified to rep
resent the Eleventh district.
An Evil Practice.
Some of the newspapers are remark
ing on the great increase in the crime
of murder iu the last decade and spec
ulating as to the probable causes there
for. In our judgement there is one
reason that will account for a very
large percentage of the homicides of
recent years, and that is the habit so
prevalent throughout this country of
carrying concealed pistols. Very few
'men realize the extent to which this
evil practice is carried, au,t it is not
confined to the lower classes, common
ly denominated rowdies aud bullies,
by any means, but is common among
those who ought to be last to set such
a had example.
Statistics show that a large percen
tage of the murdeis are committed on
the spur of the moment while die mur
derer’s passion is at fever iie.it. He
reaches behind him, draws a pis
tol from his pocket, and tires a bullet
into iiis adversary before he can re
gain control of himself, and thus a
soul is sent into eternity, and we see
the damnable results of this evil prac
tice.
Prohibition should be a non-political
question.
Don’t forget the big rally and bar
becue on tbe 29th.
The gold democrats will put out a
; bolters ticket at Indianapolis Sept. 22.
After reading Bryan’s speech how
can McKinley think that the tariff is
the issue.
Brantley may not like to do it, but
we think lie can he persuaded to meet
Uncle Ben on the stump.
Bill Brantley is meeting great en
couragement everywhere he goes.
Tbe people are falling in love with
him.
j The republicans of Georgia will not
fuse with the populists this year. This
course was decided upon at, Atlanta
Monday.
*
The Waycioss Air Line Railway
Company have gotten the poles up
for tlie telephone wire from Waycross
to Nichols.
Mr. Bryan’s Madison Square Garden
speech is the clearest and strongest
presentation of the silver question we
have ever seen.
Tom-tom Wasson is cooling off, it
seems. We presume that he has come
to the realization of the ridiculousness
of his position.
Every citizen of Coffee county is
invited to attend the Democratic ral
ly- at Douglas Saturday Aug. 21). Re
member the dale.
The democrats of Ware county
have donned their fighting clothes.
They are holding democratic revival
meetings all over the county.
A big democratic rally will he held
at Bickley on Saturday Aug. 29. Dr.
Jett' Wilcox, C. C. Thomas and Leon
A. Wilson will deliver addresses.
The prohibition plank in the Populist
platform will lose more votes in Coffee
county to the populists than anything
else that could have been placed there.
Sam Jones, Seal) Wright, Dr. Gam
brcll, Walter B. Hill and Tom Wat
son threaten to hold a populist rally
at Waycross. Wayeross is a great
town for circuses.
Willis J. Abbott, editor of the New
York Journal, says of Brvan that,
“should lie be elected, his administra
tion will he one of more simplicity
than the capital has seen since Jeffer
son rede into town and tied his horse
to the fence palings.”
The populists are fusionists from
taw. They fused with the republi
cans in Alabama, with silver demo
crats in Kansas and with prohibition
ists in Georgia. You can draw your
own conclusion as to whether they
aro patriots or spoilsmen.
Hon. K. L. Berner won the nomina
tion for State senator in his district
after a hard fought battle. It has
been suggested that Bibb county be
deprived of her turn in furnishing the
candidate next time, but we do not
think she ought. The voters were
for Berner, as evidenced by the mass
meeting in Macon ; but we do think
the people of Bibb should see to it
that the delegates that represented
her in this convention never he en
trusted with the duty of casting her
votes in another convention.
The populists fooled the negroes
worse than we thought. It seems
that they were in the committee room,
but were loft out when the list was
published. The fact of the business
is, the negroes were in the committee
room and had a voice and a vote in it,
hut the populists were ashamed of
them, aud refused to print their
nemos. Now, aint tha: pulling the
wool over the poor ignorant negroes
eyes? and do the populists uot know
that the negro cannot be duped so
easily. The better class of uegroes
are already getting suspicious, and it
is very reasonable to assume that the
whole trick will be exposed and fully
understood before it is too late.
