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. -♦ « ♦ = ~ tin* nun •= lating ■ i-onvention in t isdistm could not be turned oyer astbepro| T erty of any particular candidate.

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 lit 11 t'o-msi 1 lves ' for * r the 1 husiliess * 1 of life ' « * -• Vance and the Alliance. Senator Vance, of North Carolina, ’’ is Eriiu^ tibDviy by the A! inee in Ins state for his < sr* R" siti'tn to the sub-treasur bill. He was requested 1 bv the farmers t<> m • d'l'C the mil and did si, but did not appio.i ot ii> p.K-.vV aitn.'U, (on sid, ruble changes. Coi. L. L. Polk, 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. The New Executive Committee. Ron. W. Y. Atkinson, chairman of the State Democratic Committee, has appointed the following commit¬ teemen from the state-at-large: lion. Thomas, of Bibb, T. J. DuJnrnette, of Putnam, W. -V. Little, of Muscogee, F. C. Tate, of Pickens. The following are the alternates in the order named: W. R. .Mustin, of Morgan, P. W. Meldrini, "f Chatham, J. W. Nelms, of Fultop, J. L. Hand, of Mitchell. ♦ ♦ ♦— 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, j Subscribe for Tint Enteui'iusk. 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. Under Which Flag.

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 to racy in Georgia. 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 cajoled by a lot of conscienceless I demagogues from within and from without the state into a political course which every sane man must see will, of necessity, lead them into organized opposition to the Domo- eratic party, The Jshmaelite believes that Ma ctuie’s ambition will overreach itself. R believes that there are thoitsamU of faithful demoerats iu the alliance organization who will decline to op- nose Gordon at his dictation, and who, If they must choose between al- legianee to the Democratic party and the alliance, will unhesitatingly standby the former, Tim Islimae- osks.no quarter of Maeuncism, and it proposes to give nope,—Sparta loUntaelito. 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, Sheriff Sales. \\ r 1 'nr* 1 !''lit uuM-ourt -«*•",o'.Vr'ii! 1 e' mi!
