A Sound Resolution.
The following resolution passed by
the Putnam county Alliance at its
last meeting should be endorsed by
every true Allianccman in the state:
“Resolved, that our delegate to the
State Alliance, soon to convene in
Atlanta is hereby instructed to use
hie best efforts to secure the election
of state officers, from that of presi¬
dent down, who, in his judgment, will
not use such office for their personal
political preferment, and the great
injury of our order.
Sfcend, that the office of president
of the state Alliance of Georgia ought
to fill the full measure of any broth¬
er’s ambition, and he should in the
judgment of this Alliance hold him¬
self aloof from partisan politics.
Holt. A. Uim>, Secretary,
Putnam County Alliance.

A Big Catfish.
The Louisville Commercial reports
a fight for life between a colored man
named Bill Anderson and a monster
eolfish that had Become cut mglod in
his net. A.; the fish was tearing the
net to pieces, Anderson jumped into
the river to take hand hold. I he fish
drew him almost into a deep and dau-
gerous e< Uy. but he braced himself
against a rock in the water, reached
over and caught hold of one of the
big fins, which was a foot long, and
drawing his knife from liia
where he always carries it, stabbed
the fish in the head until it expired.
The fish weighed 175 pounds and
war. f ix feet two inches long. He
sold if for $12.75.
REUNION
Wednesday was a great day
and adjoining counties, and a great
day for the multitude who gathered
4
to witne ss the march of the old sol¬
diers, to hear the heat of the drum,
and to catch the the ehivalric spirit
ot the early sixties which moved the
best manhood of America to to take
up arms in defense of his country.
«lf he speeches were appropriate and
optimistically prophetic. The first
speech was by Mr. S. J.Tribble, and
was a masterly effort. Col P. 1‘.
Proffitt followed in a splendid speech
that was unanimously complimented.
Ilev. Groves II. Cart ledge gave a
short ami appropriate talk and the
exorcises closed for dinner.
Baskets and trunks loaded with
eatables were plentiful, and every¬
body got a good dinner.
In the afternoon Prof. Morgan II.
Looney addressed the veterns. Early
on Wednesday morning he received
a telegram from Gov Gordon, re¬
questing him to represent the Gov¬
ernor before the veterans. After
the other speeches the Professor an¬
nounced that he would speak tor Gor¬
don at 2 p. in. The vast crowd re¬
assembled to hear him. He first read
aloud the telegram, and then after
one of his most eloquent tributes to
Gordon, he held the crowd in perfect
attention for one hour. Of his speech
we need only say that it was charac¬
teristic of tie- man. As his speeches
are always entirely extemporaneous,
we cannot of course reproduce it or
any part of it here.

“Eating Crow.”
It seems that Winn is bound to go
to congress from the Ninth. But the
Jackson Herald will not “have to an¬
swer for it.” Under the above cap
tion Editor Craig wrote a very spirit¬
ed editorial. Winn was his subject,
and among other things he says:
In the name of all the saints in
the calender, what could this man do
in Congress if he were elected?
Spirits of Hill, Cobb, llillyer! and
all the men of the gloried days of
the Ninth who shed the luster of
great names on her proud escutcheon
—ye paladins of the intellccual strife
who have vested th*' nation’s forum
with the South’s fair reputation for
whom our poet’s lyre is wreathed,
our marble wrought, our music
breathed—where are you to-day!
Will not your troubled and restless
ghosts put off the cold obstuction of
clay and shriek with mortal agony?

POLITICAL BRIEELET3.
The Political News Condensed and
Told in a Few Words.
—Winn carried Jackson county in
Saturday’s primary by a large ma¬
jority.
—Olive carried Clark county last
Saturday by 112 votes majority over
Colley.
—Moses, one of the Alliance can¬
didates, was victorious in the Fourth
congressional district.
— Stewart, Clements, Grimes and
Barnes have been defeated in their
districts for congress, all because they
could not advocate the sub-treasury
plan.
— lion. Felix Corput, of Floyd
county, has been elected to serve in
the next legislature. It is unnoticed
that he will oppose Clark Howell for
speaker of the house.
—Judge Lawson carried Green
last Saturday by about 100 hundred
majority- He received more than
twice as many votes as the two. can¬
didates.
—Hon. Henry G. Turner lias been
unanimously renominated in the Sec¬
ond congressional district. This is
fortunate for Georgia, as he is a very
able man, and from present indica¬
tions he will have several weak asso¬
ciates.

A lew Words Abinl the Combination
of Friday's Election.
If any body lost by the combina¬
tion of I.awsor. and Olive supporter'*
last Frui ty it was certainly Judge
Lawson, ami could not have possibly
injured Mr. Colley, as some of his
supporters claimed. Mr. Colley re¬
ceived leas than one third of the votes
cast, which showa conclusively that
he could not have been elected, for
he gaind a few of the Lawson votes
himself by the combination and lost
none by it. Those best posted know
that it wnuhl have be* n very close
between Lawson aiui Olive bad there
been no combination and it is abso¬
lutely impossible to say with truth-
fulness which would have bad the
advantage, Mr. Colb y was far weak¬
er than his opponents thought or
tlier would have been no combina¬
tion. Mr. Colley’s mode of cam¬
paigning in this county hurt him
worse than anything else, though
it was not generally known until the
election was over.
Since writing the above, my atten¬
tion has been called to an article in
the Tribune under the head of “Law
son Slaughtered,” written by Col.
.1. S. Dortch, in which my name is
mentioned. The article in the main
is true. As to Lawson’s supporters I
not being consulted, all that were
considered true supporters were con
stilled that could 1m conveniently
reached. The time was too short to
go out and make a general inquiry as
there were only two days before the
election. There has been a great deal
said about the combination that is
misleading. One that knows nothing
of political affairs would think that
such a thing was unheard-of, and an
outrage, but there is scarcely ever a
nominating convention meets where
there ore more than two candidates
for the same office that the friends of
one does not go to another as their
second ohice and at the same time
for the purpose of defeating a man
who is not the choice of the people.
The same thing was done in Elbert
county last Tuesday, the friends of
Lawson supporting Colley in order
to defeat Olive in mat county. It is
nearly always the case where there
are three and only three ^candidates
for an important office. I would say
here that some who are loudest in
their denunciations of the combina¬
tion movement last Friday have fath¬
ered combinations in elections which
from a standpoint of morality and ef¬
ficiency does not bear the slightest
comparison. As to Col. Dortch’s
positive statement that. I made an
error, 1 would say that is only his
opinion unsupported by evidence.
Were I seeking an office at the hands
of the people of Franklin county, I
would want no better issue to go be-
fore them on than my action in this
matter. L. J. M.
