Soi thekn iron is bothering the
iron kings of Pennsylvania to some
extent.
Tub .Athens Banner’s dark horse
has been defeated. The way of the
schemer is hard.
The democrats seem to be getting
a tight grip on Ohio. Tariff reform
is doing the work.
MKTnk and Livingston will be
mighty tired when they knock Gen.
Gordon outside of the ropes.
♦ ♦ ♦
Tin: republicans are easing on t"
the tariff reform wave, and in many
instances they are denouncing the
McKinley bill.
Ir a man want- to represent the
Eighth district in congress he must
go before the pvople. They don’t
like dark horse-.
Hons. W. A. BnoruinoN, of Mor¬
gan, James Smith of Oglethorpe, and
]{. II. Carlton of Clark, are now very
bl ight colored horses.
Tin: cotton crop for last season
ending August 1st was 7."11.222
1 lies, which is tin- largest crop over
grown by 265,489 bales.
The leading politicians in the Alli¬
ance are Is ing greatly troubled l>c-
cause they cannot stop their members
from supporting Gordon for the
United States Senate.
Hon. Feux Cokput seems to be
a l»etter friend to the State Exchange
than to those who purchase through
if. His idea is that the higher the
price the greater the brokerage.
Tin: Athens Banner is now en¬
gaged in making war on General
Gordon for the Senate because the
old hero and democratic statesman
cannot swallow the sub-treasury.
Somi: of the democratic journals
are claiming that our chances are fair
for carrying Illinois, Ohio, Iowa.
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania this
year, all former republican states.

Geo in it \\ r . Feck, the
but who seems to be a statesman
•was elected mayor of Milwaukee,
is., last fall) and a few days Uipi
fOwived the democratic nomination
for governor. The republicans
getting uneasy about his humor,
‘t’tt k Farmers’ Alliance say that
they do not ask a candidate to sacri¬
fice his convictions lit support the
Huh-tremmry scheme, hut if it is not
clearly right to him and lie capnot
eonseieiitiouslv support it, that
ate others who will, and they will
tUBioh eu-4 votes for those.
The People Are Speaking.
There is a general and wide-spread
feeling among the laboring people of
the United States, especially the
poorer class of laborers that they have
for a long time, and are now being
oppressed. Where there is so much
complaint and such a universal de-
maml for reform, it is evident that
there is au underlying principle of
justice that is sought for, whether all
see it or not. It is not oulv the
fanners of the South that are moving
in this fight for reform, but it is
ease with the farmer and mechanic
of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kansas, ami other states all over the
Union. The masses have grown to
distrust the old leaders of both par-
tics, and they mav now be expected
to vote and use their influence wlicr-
evor the speedic.-t reform is promised,
The greatest danger that lies in the
wav of the reform movement is ae-
cepting had leaders. It is the history
of all righteous reformations that !
they have suffered on account of un- !
safe and-elfish leaders, « lm arc quick
to breast the popular wave,
its receding mav leave a iraek of des-
(date waste. We have all been taught
that the people could be relic! upon
in all welfare, emergencies hut then' to save and protect J
our are t drome-
whioh often steer far from a sr.f"
equilibrium, Plutoeiacy and central-
i/.atimi with all its ill begotten p<*s-
session cannot long remain in power i
in this free country, neither can la/.i-
nes- and ignorance on account of ’
their great numbers control the af-j
fails of an industrious and intelligent !
people. The iiidusti ions, intelligent,
educated and honest citizen occupies
a high conservative ground, and he j
can he relied on as a sah
loader.

The Technological School.
On the Gtli of September, which is
to-morrow, (Saturday) the county
of applicants for admis¬
sion to tin- Technological School at
Atlanta will lie held all over the
state. The number to be admitted
is limited to 150. There will be
many more applicants who arc quali¬
fied, but with the present accommo¬
dation this number is all that can be
provided for. It is thought that there
will he a strong effort made ... the
next Lfg.slaturotoprov.de
dat.ons for a arger nuu.l.er. h rank-
hn county should have one young
man " at Fast in this school. It is a
school where young men are taught ,
how to work, and are also taught that
work is honorable, the two chief
principles underlying success. The
next Legislature should increase the
accommodations so that more young
men could enter the work-shops and

the betel of the National Alliance,
and also editor of the Progressive
Farmer, is making a strong
against Vance. Many of the All.-
anceinen will support him, anyway,
ami there is unieh trouble feared.

of the State Democratic Committee,
has appointed the following commit¬
teemen from the state-at-large:

The Sub-Treasury.
The State Alliance of Texas has
refused to endorse the sub-treasury
;is ;m issue, by yhjch candidates stand
or fall. The order gives the member
the right to vote from convictjop,
and does not ask him t o a',and by the
measure unless he sliinks it r^ht,
Wk have not learned before going
fo press what was done, in the Sev-
entlt congressional district the -id
inst., but are satisfied that Felfop will
receive the nomination. If the
cable Doctor is tpuiiiitatod he will
challenge Everett to tlty stump, and
Ids superior ability will make it very
doubtful for Mr. Everett,

The Citizens' Alliance,
The organization of the Citizens'
Alliance, by which a confederation of
all reformers in the state of Kansas
is hoped for ami expected, has the 1 fol-
lowing declaration:
To the public: The unsettled con-
dition of the country demands the
thoughtful ami earnest attention of
every voter. A great labor move-
mentis sweeping the country. Voter,
will you settle the great questions ot
the day now. with the ballot, while
vou have an opportunity, or will you
wait until it will require the sword
and bullet ? There is more
faction and agitation now than when
Fort Sumpter was bred upon. In
tlu* midst of the great rebellion the j
immortal and far-seeing Lincoln saw
and foretold the oppression that
would befall this country in the fut-
from the way legislation was ‘
shaped. His prophecy is verified,
and that now. In the face of these
facts, will you sit carelessly by and
not raise your voice against the
wrongs perpetrated on all laboring
'his nation, by the which wealthy comprises aristocracy about of j
j
per cent, of our population ?!
As long as you are willing, you can !
rest assured that they will take ad-|
vantage of the situation which every !
voter grants by his silent consent,
Then what we need is to organize, j
up and be counted.” ‘Tie ■
is not for me is against me.”
Where will you stand? In order to
all lalxn ing classes, the citizens
the city of Olatbe, Johnson county,
Kansas, who endorse the St. Louis
platform as adopted l»v the Fanners’
e and Industrial Union, have* |
formed an organization with the
title. Tim object of the or¬
is to he auxiliary to the
movement of the Farmers’ Alliance
kindred organizations as fully set
forth in the by-laws appended, and j
we heartilv recommend similar or- i
* :
in cities, towns and school
districts throughout the United
States. A cordial invitation is ox-
tended to all who endorse the St.
Louis platform to join us.

Are the members of the state ul-
liance convention demoerats? If so,
they ^.pted alike stand on the
lll:lt f ( , rm h v the late demo-
crate state convention, how can
as democratic alliancemen, go out-
side of that platform and, in opposi-
tion to it, require the endorsement of
new and undemocratic principles at
hands?
Manifestly, they could not do that,
us true demorats; but having done so,
not as democrats standing on the
democratic platform, but as alliance,
men standing 011 another and, in
some pavieulars, contradictory plat¬
form, it is plain that the purpose in
it all is, so i'ar as they are concerned,
substitute . Maeuneisvn . for

Most of the people of Georgia are
demoerats. Most, of the members of
the Farmers’ Alliance in the state
are demoerats. Now it remains to
bn seen whether these people can he

Judge Lawson nominated.
The nomination of Judge Thomas
G. Lawson. of Putnam, as tin* donio-
eratic candidate for congress in the
eighth district, will not only l>e sat-
isfactorv to tin* democrats of that
district, hut to the whole state, llis
nomination was strongly contested
by Messrs. Colley and Olive, but the
friends of these gentlemen will unite
in giving Judge Lawson their most
eonlial support, ami lu* will prove
himself tube entirely worthy of the
most enthusiastic support of the dem-
oertic party.
Judge Lawson is one of the ablest
men in Georgia, and he will develon in
to a democratic leader on the floor of
the house. His character and his ea-
reer are that they should be to fit him
for the responsible duties of his posi-
tion. As a member of the Georgia
legislature during the exciting and
trying times of the war, he made an
reputation as lawmaker and
a parliamentarian, and lie has since
served with conspicuous ability on
the bench of tile superior court.
Judge Lawson will not need to
serve, an apprenticeship in congress
to fit himself for his duties. lie will
take his seat thoroughly equipped at
all points, and ho will greatly
strengthen the already strong dele-
gat ion from Georgia. The Const i-
tution congratulates Putnam, the dis-
triet, the state and the democratic
party oil his nomination.—Conslitu-
tion,
