Griffin, Ga.
Qriffln Is tiie liveliest, pluckiest, most pro
gressive town in Georgia. This is no lijper
bolical description, as the record of the last
fire years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
factory and is now building another with
nearly twiee the capital. It has pnt up a
large iron and brass foundry, a fertiliser fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
issh and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
U L ited State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontoinplatiou. It has secured
another .allroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatca on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured conuection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around its borders fruit growers from
Bearly every State in the Union, until it is
bow surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of publio schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
•f having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county scat of Spalding
oounty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
lort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de
sirable settlers, whowill not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel
Ws have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for onr
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in tho South, just mention

.so fairl illustrates republican despair as
the re ent and almost total change of
policy into which the party has been
driven almost upon the eve of election.
[To fully appreciate this, one has to re¬
call the attitude of Gen. Harrison at the
opening of the campaign and the course
of the state committee throughout the
(Same. Both have been keyed upon “that
high plane of statesmanship” which the
candidate earl}- referred to in one of his
Speeches, and which has now been found
by the general himmif W> and his less expe¬
rienced assistants be wholly inade¬
quate to Indiana politics. This “high
plane of statesmanship” has been noth¬
ing more nor less than an arrogant and
high-handed game of bluff, coupled with
repeated and most unw arranted assump¬
tions indulged in until they deceived not
only lep i hearts abroad, but many of
those who are placed in a position to
know the truth. At the last moment,
the republicans of Indiana have been
forced to change their tactics.
A prominent republican and ex-officer
of state, who recognizes his party ex¬
tremities says: “We have made one
great mistake in our campaign. Instead
of bidding for the labor vote, which is
beyond question to determine the result,
as the democrats have done with to
much success, we have lost time and op-
ed portunitv \Ve by idly boasting that we own¬
it. have underestimated, or the
parly leaders have, the intelligence of
the laboring man. Why. do you know
that the men who are conducting our
campaign they had thought the strongest card
was that British flag free trade
circular they have been using in the face
of the fact that every reading, intelligent
laborer in the state knows it is a forgery!
The democrats have conducted, by
far paign the ablest and most effective cam¬
with this element. “Gen. Harri¬
son,” continued this speaker, “started
into the campaign with an idea of his
popularity friends. exalted by the flatteries of his
tool It seems to me his whole
canvass has been conducted upon the
theory that his nomination gave him a
majority of modestly of the votes of the state instead
he had it assuming, as he ought, and that
ciliation. to The gain policy by argument con¬
of his managers
has beep a reflection of this. While the
democrats ha \ e been doing hard work,
strengthening up weak places and look¬
ing after the individual voter, they have
spent the time in elegant quarters at the
Denison hotel, receiving distinguished
visitors from abroad and each man of
them try ing to place himself first in
Gen. Harrison's good gfraoes. A new
scheme by the opposition was not met by
^ ‘rascally,’ counter stroke ‘damnable’ ; it was simply termed
or a ‘lie’ by the
party organ, and that was thought suffi--
oient. We have lost the labor vote by
no\ properly estimating its intelligence.”

worth more than $50,000; so that for a
