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.

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. Tne Primary Election.

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. t'lSik. A. WrlRht. C. A ilTtcixm. x. Loster II. U. Hardeman.

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. BOILED DOWN.
