GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNK 29 i888
BEATEN ALREADY!
EVERYTHING AGAINST HIE till-
VESE-llILLlONAUtE TICKET.
The “Cenunerelal Advertiser” and E\*
Mayor Seth Loir, of Brooklyn,
Break Rmtks.
Republicans of this city that less en
thusiasm is shown over the notnina
tion of Harrison and Morton than
was over known at the outset of a
national campaign. Everything is
against the ticket. This city is re
markable as being extremely cosmo
politan, and the strength of the labor
vote is enormous. The fact that
Mr. Harrison is “An aristocrat and
patrician,” is sufficient in itself to at
tract several thousand votes to the
Democratic candidate. Besides this,
the ticket has already been dubbed
‘‘The ChiuesesMillionaire ticket.”
The labor men are disgusted with
both the head and tail of the ticket.
Harrison is the man who voted to
place the Chinese on the same foot
ing with other able-bodied American
citizens, and Mr. Millionaire Morton
is the head and front of a class utter
iy despised by the working men of
New York—the rich would be aristo
crat.
As to tire Republicans it is a well
known fact that New York is a Blnino
stronghold, and the disappointment
of these people crops out in every in
terview you run across iu the news
papers. An important factor against
Mr, Cleveland in the last campaign
was wbat was called the “Irish-Am^y
ica«**vote. As BGftNN this element
regards the present nominations, it
is only necessary to reproduceythe
following which Patrick Ford$haa
telegraphed from Chicago to
Irish World: “The result of the dhi
cago Convention, although a disap
©JlljblS pqit^ment fe» the ardent admirers of
, and especially to the Irish, is
geh^ly not,on adOe|rtaWe ^ ^MgiA W NQjJN Republicans
fc an^w^ plsnorm < ^ re worthy
gentlemen, has the
trne ring in it. Nevertheless, the
Republican party, iu my judgment,
will find the road to Washington a
hard one to travel this the coming
fa.l.”
As to the newspapers, Mr. Clove
land will have the support of every
dj^'^und his weekly jonrnal that advo
cared candidacy four years ago,
and it is probable that chat staunch
old Republican evening newspaper,
The Commercial Advertiser, will re
bel at the protective tariff plank.
Here is another feature in today’s
developments: Ex Mayor Seth Low,
of Brooklyn, who was spoken of as a
Vice Presidential possibility, formal
ly announces today that he would not
support the Repnblican national
platform, as adopted at the Chicago
Convention, because of its strong
protection plank. The candidates
of the Repnblican party Mr. Low
says, are all that any oue could a6k
for, and he regrets that he is not
able to support them. He will not
immediately join the Democratic
ranks, if he does at all; baton that
point he bad not, tonight,fully made
up his mind. At the present time,
he will occupy u neutral ground, tak
g no active part iu the campaign
with either party. In the fall he
may " take a part in the State cam
paigD, but that, be said, was too far
away for him to settle upon any
coarse of action yet.
Henry George said today that be
deemed the nomination of Harrison
a very weak one, and that the Chica
go ticket will be defeated. He thinks
that the masses are beginning to on
derstand that protection is not pro
tection for the laborer? but an unnec
essary assessment upon his earnings,
which goes into the packets of the
capitalists and into the United
States Treasury to swell the surplus
which is already too large- Mr.
Georgo sees “victory” inscribed upon
the banner of Democracy.

them rtfject Harrison and refuse to

The whole State will await the issue
with great interest. Upon the issue
of silver coinage, Harrison stands
against every principle and profes
sion of his party in these silver
States, and his record is in direct op
position to the- National platform
upon which ho was nominated."
The Post (Rep), says- “Harrison
was not the first choice of tho voters
of California. Gresham or Alger
represent the attitude of the Pacific
coast more closely than Harrison, es
pecialiy ou the Chinese question, and
California would have been far better
satisfied had either of these men been
chosen. But Hamson comes from a
doubtful State and one that it is of
the highest importance jffiat the party

A MOM* BLACK BRETHREN*
How the Plney (trove Colored BapHMs
Church Took Coni--
miinlon.
Special to the News.
Haralson, Ga., Juno 28__ Last
Sunday, 24th inst., at l’incy Grove
colored Baptist church, two miles
east of here, on the Meriwether side,
near W. P. Lovess’s, occurred one
of the most disgraceful riots that
ever transpired in or around oar
peaceful neighborhood. Just as tho
pastor, llev, Gaston, was concluding
bis services preparatory to adminis
taring the Lords Supper to bia
brethren, there arose a dispute be¬
tween the deacons in reference to
Deacon George Alford “handing
around” the “supper.” It seems
that Deacon Alford hat a plurality of
wives and one of them is the “lovely
daughter” of Deaoou John Jackson,
bense tho dispute. Said Deacon Al¬
ford jmmped up, whipped out his
knife, reached over the table, grasp
od the bottle of wine, and with one
gulp tint “Sacrament” disappeared.
He began by cursing the church,
preacher, deacons, religion and every
thing that came handy. Pastor Gas
ton jumped over the pulpit with
sleeves rolled np and then began a
general fusilade among the brethren,
in which sticks and rocks were the
present helps, Shortly thereafter
the “good” Deacon Alford retired in
bad order to his castle hard by,
where a second rioi occurred, l
which several heads came in owntact
with rocks. Deacon John Jackson
received a regular jaw breaker from
a rock thrown by Bro. Alfred Gable,
winch laid him up. Several
were wounded. Bro. Spence Bishop
in behalf of peace and good order
had some twelve or fifteen warrant.-!
issued and constable Lankford, of
Meriwether, was busily engaged all
day Monday making arrests and sum
noning witnesses to appear before
the magistrates at Warnerville.
• Also Sunday evening on Dr. Tay
lor’s Meriwether plantation two color
cd sisters, both grass widows, had a
little head and rock cracking, which
required an interference of the law,
and bouds.Qln the midst of, so
tnuc h rain and grass, and the Fair-
child and Foreker pets’ riots and
law suits, I fear Ge-n’I. Green will
tak possesion of our fleecy staple.
It c taid by the white peoplffi
aroi. -J Piney Grove colored Baptist
church that the institution has be
com : .i nuisance, that there are fre
quently such disturbances. It strikes
me that the heaviest penalty of the
law should be enforced upon the
leaders of those disturbers of the pub
lie peace. The g.a?id jury of Mcri
wether County should look ciosely
to that iifhtitution,and if found to be
a nuisance « band it. If ttie govern
men: does not institute some stren
ous laws to govern the colored race
and make them know their places.
Sou hern society will not sub?-
much longer fo these outrages. 1.
is becoming unbearable in soma lu
calititb idv. The white people
going to their homes from the white
Baptist church at this place were
very much disturbed and ladies
frightened by the road being block
ed by those Pine Grove rioters. Let
