when the the Deocratic fraud and murder in the old Confederate States
total to make the South solid in 1876; threatened again when the appear
•aces were that Blaine bad carried New York in 1884; and they are ready
now to declare that a Republican national victory won’d be disputed and
made the occasion of another disturbance.
“The old Gang in the South. booted and spurred and spurs bloody, rides

“Why should the ruling caste of those States have two votes to one as

acquiesce m this tamely—and go on to express ourselves submissively—if
we protest that we think those who saved tLe Union should Lave equal
rights in rutming the General Government with these who attempted to Je

Tfas* In the year of a president ui
election, and the campaign has *i
reaily been formally opened in the
North. a* will be seen by an extract
from the Cincinnati Commercial *
Gazette. which we reproduce . 4 illns ;
tr..te 4 : . u humble way. at the bend
of these columns. It is full time
that t omething should be done in the
South to show that a new Demo
cratic President is to be elected in
the year of oar Lord 1888. *
Already three months—one fourth
of the year, c-r really one third of the
period of the campaign -hate j
passe daw ay and not a man has
been killed in this county for politi
cal rearer Two or three years
have get<-by bout anybody be.
mg killed fer reason whatever :
or for no afcv i
Why ti jits’, we cab not pre
tend fully to say m this brief re
some of the situation. For this
condition cf apathy the News may.
perhaps, be responsible as the offi
cial organ of the county, and we
freeiy acknowledge oar share—
though no: ail—*' the blame. It
must be given « '■ xcu«e that we
have been so ■' . tog to collect
enough money to live ourself ’
that we have had no time to deprive
others of life. We admit the iame
ness of the excuse, bn*, if oar pat |
rons will come in and pay Op. will
promise to do better ia the future.
Enemies of ' ’ - present proprietor '
of the News . not hesitated to
say that we L. ‘men in Griffin for
six long years without making any
record as a ki’lisb But it is do j
fault of ours. We have done enough 1
to have provoked others to kill us i
without waiting so long, if they bad
only Lad the nerve to make the at
tempt. We have persistently assailed
and challenged various opponents in
the political arena, from old man
Lamar down to Dosh Rockwell, but
somehow they have either evaded
our animosity or we have been able
ourself to get away through some
loophole.
There hai beet- no cowardice on
our part We have practiced with a
Mississippi T " ,T‘ shot “ V gun °T until we could
snoot all around a cm- pigeon with
'
out bitting it. Alone and un^nstain
3po!ogv and this is cot even written
, 7 nation, .* . hut . the preface to
;n pa. as a
proposition. The Demociatic Exec
uiive Committee of this county will
probably be called to meet in two
weeks from yesterday. We desire
to c «11 attention to the charges of in
effensiveness brought against ns.
and of lukewarmness in opening the
campaign, and demand a vindication.

W e have just received twojears of fine Tennessee Mules. Come and see us.
The Philadelphia Record advances
a novel idea. It is that each tax
burdened person ot this country
send to bis Congressman a postal j
card containing these words: ‘-Dear
Sir—I am tired of paying my share
cf £lo5,000,000 that the government !
does not need. Please vote to cut
off unnecessary tariff taxation. Give
us free lumber, salt coa!. wool, jute,
iron ore, tin plates, and cheap food
and clothing. Keep the taxes on
whisky and tobaco to pay pensions
and interests -’ 5 If every person who
favors tariff reform were to write
something like the-above to bis
Congressman, there would be quite
a heavy mail in Washington lor some
time, and several additional clerks
would have to be employe.!.
Members of both political parties
in Minnesota are heartily indorsing
that “free trade message.“ It is
well for a man to be loval to bis
party, but lo man wants to be tux
ed to death merely because short
sighted party leaders m >y Lave got
themselves into a false position-
Were ail wise enough to heed thi* advice ir
season, a werid ot suffering would be avoided
Tbe best months in which to take Hood's
Sarsajwnlla, the great Wood purifier, are
March April May
At no other season is tbe body so much in
need of, or so susceptible to the benefit to be
derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, as now.
The impoverished condition of tbe Wood, tbe
weakening eSects of the Iw.g.coUl winter, the
lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make
a rood spring medicine absolutely necessary
Try Hood's Sarsaparilla and yon will be coo-
v inced that it is the ideal spring medicine.
