THE MAN AFOOT
(Continued WuhipglM fro* first pa£*.)
while »* irit&o’Jl a
•White House set.*’ Whet other
Motive can such * man have except
patriotism ? Whom has he to *err»
except the public ?
I cannot see any reason for his lak
*eg a second term other than that be
oaaoot finish the people’s job in time
to go oat next March. Wbat person
al reason could he possibly have for
•trying? He has already got the
name of the thing. He will never
get any fan out of it. If be enjoys
merely the exaltation of the place he
must vent it only ia a room with the
door locked and the blinds all down.
Nobody ev r caught him in the act.
Bu* Imre he sits, pegging away,
and the n v.j fortune that some of the
greatest men in history bsve chased
until they died cornea rolling up hill
to his feet- The chestnut phrase in
the newspapers of the day looks some
thing like this: ‘’All tbe delegates
aie for Cleveland.” Probably every
state in tbe Union has sent in some
such report ss that. Not a dissent
iog vote bas .been cast anywhere.
The unanimity of his*renomination
neat month cannot be questioned.
Only tbe method of expressing this
unanimity, whether by a tremendous
acclamation os an impressive call of
tbe roll Is opea for debate. Tbe
uniqueness of this situation may pas
sibly be appreciated when it is recall
e«l that only thirteen of Mr. Cleve
land's twenty-one predecessors were
ever thought of when tbe time came
to choose their successors. On an
ayafwge there is nothing more like a
4asi year’s bird nest than it President
of tne United States in tbe campaign
immediately succeeding the one in
* n
which he was the triumphant and im
mortal leader. His sun is around in
China and all the Satellites, the Her
alda and
THE BOOT LICKCitS
in ordinary, are off bathing them
•elvea In tbe promising rays of the
newly riaen orb. Only eleven Presi
dents aver made their second appear
ancein tbtfelectoral college. In oth
er words, there have been only eleven
who have carried a Stale in their
races for re-election.
But the strange situation of to¬
day is not half described when it is
noted that Mr. Cleveland is certain
to be renominated. If the election
were to take place the same day the
convention is to be hold his re-elec
lion would be equally sure. There
are probably very few people in the
country whoso instinct does not tell
them that Mr. Cleveland will have
a second term. The admission is un
wittingly dropped from the mouths
of Republican partisans every day.
The campaign against him begins
with a general and uncomfortable
feeling of the futility of the fight.
This is an advantage that the Demo
eratio hosts have not carried into
battle since 1850. We have always
gone in with our backs bent and
squirming (or the lash of defeat.
Next to success itself there is nothing
that succeeds like the expectation of
success. If you will look around
you will quickly see that the I)emoc
racy is coining out from under the
shadow of misfortune. It is it bold
er, braver set. It is regaining some
of its historic aggressiveness. Adver
sity made cowards of us all. Let me
illustrate.
Foe 20 years the democrats have
been running like white heads from
the high tariff whoopers. A few
months ago Cleveland stopped run
ning; the almost breathless party
also halted. Instantly the pursuers
paused. Them the pursuers and tbe
pursued faced each other. Next,
with
ruii uatti.e ck\
of the President's message un their
Ups, the low-tariff crowd sprang at
their adversaries, who quickly turned
tail and ran like so many scared
•leers. They are still running. We
base all watched twodogs while they
noted out this entire scene
The Democratic patty cannot be
put on the defensive in this canvass.
There is not a single thing to defend,
and nothing to attack. What has
the administration done for which it
would he wise to assail it before the
people? There will be n specifics
tions against the President’s course
in the Republican b'll of grievances.
The grievances arising from his
coaue have all been cried away, and
mostly hy Democrats themselves.
Although he has desk out death to
the Republicans, the President has
probably caused more pain among
the Democrats than among their en f
emiea. But it now begins to dawn ,
on all that these hard knocks have j
been “the making of the pop It
was a case of kill or cure. The p*
tieot, we are all happy to see, is now
convalescent. After living for 25 ;
years / 'ff tbe busk> of opposition we
may soon come to see that when
let into tbe crib of plenty the party's
own best and permanent interest*
needed just such restraints as were
imposed on it and just such icisobs
in self’denial as were taught it by tha
man who opened the door. He was
JV9T the wax
to do it. There are other leaders
wbo would bare given their
followers mor ftiD, but wonld the
sport Lave lasted more than one
term? To Mr. Cleveland a party is
simply tbe means, and is not the
end. He bad always been a Demo
crat, but be bad not let tbe Republi
cans bother him much. His resent
ments and bis exultation were easily
kept under control. Whether the
situation today is tbe result of a de
liberate and consistent policy of the
President’s or not, it is still certain
that tbe Democracy's condition is
much better at tbs ontset of tbis
than it was at the ontset of tbe last
campaign. Some great improve
ments, for instance, have been effect
ed in tbe machine. Where are the
faction rows in New York city? They
have distressed tbe Democracy for
half a century, almost without an in
termission for tbe decent burial of
tbe dead. Bat we hear nothing of
them now. It is not easy to Bee bow
tbe differences bate been patched
up, or just wbo did most of tbe
patching. Tbe Presidents coarse
in the matter bas been to treat all
tbe factions to an occasional dose of
cold shoulder. Tbis is an entirely
new treatment for the trouble, bat
it may have done some goood. Any
bow we are sore of the results-
This will bo the eighth re-election
of a President. Mr. Cleveland will
be the first, however, to gain that
ra-e glory by the plain and single
works of peace. Every other Presi
dent who has bad a second term came
out of war. They were al! men on
horseback,

The state Hoad Qusttion.
Tt.o people of Georgia have been
engrossed with the tariff iesue. It
is the issue above all others in im
portatico, a lid it was well for all
others to be in abeyance* tiil it was
diepoaeil of. to far os the people of
Georgia coil'd depose of it ib is
bas been done, tied it is well now to
turn our attention to other matters
of importance which present them
selves.
In the selection of members of tbe
legislature it is neceesaty to settle
two questions The first was to
ibat ,;u t!J 1,1 was VT ^°

the l nut 1 Stale-, senate. 1 ho p.o
pic have < xpressed themselves on
this subject, and so hearty ha?
been their endorsement of Senator
Colquitt that it is not only certain
that ii tariff reformer wii! represent
u«, tmt tbftt b<- wiil be the man.
The secoad o IO at question that
will be decided I y th.- nes legisla
tnre will be the protection and dis
posal of our state road. I hero has
nevir beeu a local question of more
importance to the people of Geor
gift.
The Western and Atlantic road,
tbe property of tbe state, i« one
tbb most prosperous and important
lines .n Georgia. Peraapa it is more
important than any other It runs
through a fine section of country,
connects jbe largest city in Georgia
with the most rapidly growing one
in Tennessee, and ia an important
part of several through lines be
(wet n tho 00 :Ih and south.
Tbis .oad ba« been loused by s
company of which Senator Joseph
E. Brown is president. Tbe lease
expires in 1891,.and tbe leasees
claim a largo sum for improvements
made on the line. Tbe state will be
largely in debt to them if the legisla
tare allows their claim.
Tbe properly will also be sold or
leased by the -xt legislature. Tbe
road it#t f is 1 rtb a large sum, and
there ai . lou-iiese many large cor

ty, and get it as cheap as possible,
and we should see that sucb men go

the interests of tbe state with zeal
and ability — [Coinmbus Enquirer.
A Keen Piece of Satire.
Tbe foliowi"? 'x’-act from tbe
speech of Hon . s D. Richardson
in support of tbe ilills tariff bill, is
one of the keenest bits of satire upon
tbe inconsistencies of protectionists
we remember to cave seer:
To the manufacturer tbe protec
tionist says that tbe tariff is levied
to give him i ' ?’ er prices for bis pro
ducts. To consumer he ssys
that it is imp to make manufac¬
tured goods cheaper. It seams to be
a kind of medicine which stimulates
tbe patient, yet reduces bis fever,
acts as a powerful laxative, yet pro
daces constipatioc: feeds the tbe sys
tern, yet deplete tbe patient-, a fat,
and yet an anti fat, a wine that may
be taken for tbe stomach's sake when
it is sick, yet a powerful emetic; it is
» narcotic, and yet an atrophine-, it
brings a smiiiDg happiness snd Bolid
comforts to those wbo toil in the
workshop, and yet it is prolific of
strikes and lockouts;it richly rewards
labor, yet fills tbe land with paupers
and tramps. There is nothing in all
nature like it. It ia a centripetal,
yet a centrifugal force. It contracts
and expands uuder the same influ
enee and condition. Administered
to a democrat in perfect health, in
full doses, he begins forthwith to
preach tbe gospel of republicanism.
It does these things, and is all this
aDd more; it gives the men *ho
make the goods higher prices, and
the men who buy them cheaper
goods. Surely there is nothing else
like it ou the earth, or in the
waters under the earth. Heaven
alone, and I speak it not sacrelegions
ly, can produce such another pana
sea—a compound which will pro
dace exactly tbe opposite effect upon
similar subjects under like condi
lions.—fNashville Democrat.
