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, Here’s to the man afoot'. Morgan.

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.

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.
