Ah, hn ’ The Republicans didn't get fifty at itsand majority in Maine after all. -.- d* —— The c • ttifry is anxious to hear whether Tommie will accept that nomination. The Maine majority was caused by the Populists voting the Republi can ticket in order make Sewall come down. Senator Butler tries to make it perfectly plain to Mr Watson that the Populist convention was sorry it had to nominate him. Now Carlisle writes t hat he is anx ious for an opiiortunity to redeem all the silver dollars in gold. Well, that will proliably be the policy when Palmer and Buckner are elect ed. At a salary of $.3,000 a year Gov ernor Atkinson has saved the State $69,000 a year that his predecessors had failed to get. A man is on the road to a lunatic asylum who would not make another trade with such a manager of his affairs. Hanna’s organs are advising men who “know on which side their bread is buttered” to vote for his man. Unfortunately there art' men this year who cannot enjoy the fe licity of precisely this sort of knowl edge, as their bread isn’t buttered on either side. Is there not considerable meaning in the unconscious words of the re porters who voraciously* chronicle the doings of Bryan and McKinley? It invariably reads, “Hundreds lis tened to what McKinley had to say, ” and on the other hand, “Thousands were present and heard Bryan. ” Candidate McKinley has before him the opportunity of a lifetime, lie and Candidate Bryan have been invited by the labor unions of Chi cago to discuss jointly the financial question in the Coliseum of that city on or about the 17th of October. It is safe to say that Mr. Bryan will agree promptly to the joint discus sion. Will Major McKinley? It is equally safe to say that he will not. In 1892 he ran away from a joint discussion of the tariff with Col. A. K. McClure, of the Philadelphia Tinies. If he would not debate his own dear tariff with McClure he can hardly lie expected to debate finance with Bryan. A QUESTION OF LOOKS. The Populist camjiaign seems to liave turned u]x>n the question of looks. The People's Party Paper says that “Pretty Little John Wert” is running a winning campaign on that issue down in the Tenth, while Colonel JFlynt, the Populist leader of Spalding, told Joe James the other night that the Populist State ticket ought to be elected because it is composed of better looking men than its Democratic opponents. Possibly they think his looks beat Hines and sought to mend the error when they nominated Wright. But what are they going to do aliout Watson ; he’s no bute. On the other hand, Mrs. Myrick, a strong Evans man, insists that ■ Colonel Atkinson is the best looking , governor Georgia ever laid, and it is generally conceded that the ladies I are the best judges in such matters. ' A good way to choose who will j make the best solicitor-generals is to liave all the candidates take the; stump for Democracy and see | which does the most active service. | 8j leakers are said to be in demand, and these gentlemen could in noway bt tter show that they deserve some thing at the hands of a Democratic legislature than by sending in their names to Chairman Clay. Scab Wright says that Governor At kinson just fined the convict les sees enough to pay the lawyers em- i ployed in the investigation. This is untrue ; he fined them three times as much as the investigation cost. However, Governor Atkinson acted in this case as a judge and not as a | maker of money, and the results I were invaluable to the State. When Hon. Thomas E. Watson was a country’ schoolteacher he taught Sol and Corrie Zeigler. As already stated, Mr. Watson is to de fend them when they come to trial' in November. The example of the Zeigler boys shows what Tom Wat son's teachings will lead to. Walter B. Hill will not accept the Populist nomination for State sena tor and Roliert L. Berner will there fore lie elected without op]>osition unless another nomination is made. This is not generally known to be a fact, but may lie relied upon as au thenticated information. Senator Caffrey and Colonel Fel lows had to do all the speaking for Messrs. Palmer and Buckner at their notification meeting the other night, those unfortunate ancients having left their false teeth in the Pullman sleeper. Vermont offset Alabama ..nd Maine has offset Arkansas. The Dutch have captured Holland and- the Spanish still retain Spain, andXhon ors are easy. Let the procession pass on. Chairman Clay is reported to be of the opinion that if Sam Jones doesn't know any more about religion than he does about managing elections he had better go and get converted again. —— It didn't take a special deputation *o tell Bryan that Arkansas had gone Democratic by just twice Ver mont’s majority*. He is a newspa per man and keeps posted. ■> - —— - — ••There is no hope of good gov ernment in this country."says Hon. Hal Lewis, “except at the hands of organized Democracy.” It is the Darien Gazette's opinion that General Clement A. Evans will be elected governor of Georgia in IS9B without opposition. Cleveland and Carlisle have un masked and the country finds them the same gay deceivers that they were suspected to be. Our contemporaries are inquiring if McKinley will take the stump. Our best information is that he is already stumped. An Atlanta man has bet a hat that Palmer and Buckner will not carry a voting precinct in the United ' States. ~ Nothing Wrecks the Constitution More effectually than fever and ague.

That a minister of the Gospel has the right to vote and to express his I convictions ujion the political issues of the day, no one can deny; but even in doing this it becomes him to he exceedingly cautious, for he may be the pastor of people who belong j to different parties, and he cannot • afford to become a partisan. It may be admitted that a preacher has the , right to enter the political arena, but I seriously doubt if it is expe dient for him to do so. Iha ve never known a preacher to do it, no mat ter what excuses he might assign, who did not lose caste. These re flections have been suggested by reading the declaration of Dr. R. C. Burleson, of Texas, to the commit tee that had informed him that he I laid been nominated for governor ' upon the prohibition ticket. Dr. Burleson said, “Fifty years ago I i consecrated my life topreaching the Gospel and to Christian education, ’ and all the honors and gold mines on I earth could not swerve me from . that great life purpose, since lam i profoundly convinced that in this way I can best promote the glory of i God and the welfare of my beloved | Texas.” These are strong words and I am indeed grtfi that Dr. Burleson lias set example before our preachers. I’ have not a single doubt that but that he is cor rect in feeling that in the ministry he can best promote the glory of God and the welfare of Texas. And I feel sure that any preacher can do more to help every good cause by keeping out of poli ties. and saying, "This one thing I I do.” An observation of twenty years lias taught me that the preachers who become politicians are not in fluenced so much by the great cause which they pretend to espouse, and I for which they are almost ready to I suffer martyrdom, as they are by | personal ambition and a consuming desire for the honors and emolu | meats of the world. This is the real ! ruling power, and the power is held up as an excuse for doing that which ’they know all good men will con demn. But no amount of personal explanation, and no condition by whieh we may lie confronted, will cause people to justify a minister of ttie Gospel in leaving the highest calling in this world,' and coming down to the stench and filth of poli ties. In this instance, at least. I believe in the voice of the people. In conclusion, let me commend the following words from the Texas Baptist and Herald: "A preacher that goes into politics makes a sad and pitiable confession. ! He makes a double confession ; first, that there is no one among his fel low citizens so suitable for the jxisi jion he seeks as himself, and second, that there are others more suitable to preach the Gospel than himself. This naturally leasts him to love politics more than religion. A min ister may legitimately make tents, as did Paul, practice medicine, as did Luke, plow corn, chop wood, practice law, preside in courts, go on missions of mercy, justice or truth, ! but to go into politics and leave his ’ calling of a Gospel minister, when ! there are hundreds of good men j that are willing to accept the trials ! aud tribulations of a political life, is i a spectacle to make the angels I wcp.” —• Are You Doing Your Part ? Atlanta Constitution. There are but a few more days for active campaigning between to-day ' and the date set for the State elec tion. and it is important that the Democrats of every county push forward the campaign vigorously i during these few days. Much depends on a rousing Demo i cratic victory at the October elec ' tion. The primary effect of that j would, of course, be the enderse ' ment of the present Democratic State 'administration, which has so ably : managed Georgia’s affairs: and that ’is most important. The. secondary i effect would, however, be hardly j less important. A good majority j here in Georgia, coming ou the heels ! of the splendid Democratic victories in Alabama and Arkansas, would give additional strength to the great fight which Democracy is waging for the people. It will take work to put Georgia where she belongs ; that is, to pile up a big Democratic victory, and every member of the party should do his utmost to bring about this re sult. In most respects the cam paign is proceeding satisfactorily, but there is some complaint that some men are showing a disposition to skirk the work which they should be doing. This applies especially to men who ought to be speaking. A few men are doing it all. In many cases Chairman Clay's requests and assignments have met with declina tion or refusal upon some sort of excuse or other, and the result is that a few men liave to do all the active campaigning. It is the duty of every Democratic speaker to respond promptly to the call of the State chairman. The campuign should be vigorous, energetic and enthusiastic. True Democracy should be preached from every "stump” in Georgia during the next two weeks. If this is done, Georgia will roll up such a Democratic majority as will make us all proud.

Why Hr Wa« Opposed *<• Carrying Prohi bition into Politic*. Rome Tribune. Eleven years ago Dr. W. H. Fel ton was in the heyday of his power and popularity in the Seventh con gressional district and was an im portant factor in the politics of the State. It was the year prior to the historic Gordon-Bacon contest and the year after Atlanta went dry through the efforts of the prohibi tionists. Rev. Dr. Atticus G. Haygood was one of the acknowledged leaders of Southern Methodism and was one of the strongest champions of prohibi tion in the South. He had taken a high position in the work of driving the sale of liquor out of Atlanta and was praised and abused by the op posing factions during that great struggle as much as any man in Georgia. One November day he was passing through Elberton when the editor of the Elberton Headlight asked him if he would support Dr. W. H. Felton in the event that the latter was chosen as the prohibition candidate for governor, as was then indicated by the trend of Georgia politics un der pressure of the sentiment against liquor. “I am a prohibitionist, but lie will never get my vote. I would vote for no prohibition candidate for govern or. lam opposed to prohibition be ing carried into politics. I believe in it only by local option. It is in harmony with the old English idea of the people of a community set tling the question for themselves,” was the reply from that eminent di vine, who was as fearless as he was eloquent and who never stooped to prevaricate on any question. Now, under similar political con ditions, his expression sounds like the voice of prophecy. Possibly and probably the great preacher foresaw the tendency of the move ment and wanted to put himself on record as being opposed to any such scheme of political demagoguery, well knowing that such an* idea was inimical to the very spirit of our free institutions. Were he alive to day he would adhere to the same doctrine, which has also been ad vocated by his able compeer, Dr. Warren A. Candler. Yet, against the outspoken views of men like these, the popiilo-prohi tionists persist in stirring up strife and in moving heaven and earth to get control of the affairs of the State. But the peopte of Georgia are not to be deceived and there will be the biggest Democratic majority polled in Georgia in October that has been rolled up in many a day. —— — Getting Along Too Well to Take Any Risks. Rome Tribune. We are getting along too well under our well and wisely adminis tered government to take any risks, in the way of experimenting. A man may be ever so earnest and zealous for the welfare of his coun try as a private citizen and still be unfitted for the responsibilities of the office of governor of a great State. Governor Atkinson has done more than fulfilled the expectations of his friends and has silenced all criticism from those who doubted his ability to successfully conduct the affairs of his high office. In many respects he has made one of the most re markable records of any governor that Georgia has ever had. His administration has been free from peculation, favoritism and job bery, and while remembering his friends—as everybody expected him to do—in his appointments, he has gone further and has given respon sible and lucrative positions to those whose cause was most strenuously advocated by his late opponents He has proved his wisdom and sa gacity in the economical manner in which he has conducted the affairs of State, and has shown himself to be a fair and just minded man. He is certainly entitled, if any man ever was. to the reward of a second term as governor of Georgia Can’t be Any Deader. Augusta Chronicle. The Democrats have never expect ed to carry Maine, and whether the Republicans carry it by 20,000 or 50,- 000 makes no material difference. When a man is dead he can’t be any deader, and when a State is safely Republican or Democratic, a few more thousands one way or the other do not count for much. November will tell the story, and these State elections in States where the result is known in advance cannot greatly influence the November election. Seab's Love for the Veterans. Rome Hustler. The joke of the season is the man ner in which Seab Wright proposes to care for old Confederate veterans. Why, the first race Seab ever ran, I and the only race in which he re i mained until election day, he ran against and by a big majority of fourteen votes defeated one of the bravest old Confederate veterans that ever lived. And on the audac ity of the youngster ! But that old vol rail the stripling out of the next I field before the skirmishing was ' over. BEGINS If o'l HT 2.U. Bryan Makes Converts While Many People Slumber. STORMS THE ENEMY’S STRONGHOLD Makes a Brief Addre« to a Crowd of About Five Hundred at the Town of Somerset, Tenn., and Proceeds at Once to Knoxville, Where He Discusses the Issues of the Campaign at Length. Kxoxvili-e, Sept. 16. — Mr. W. J. Bryan began work at 2 o’clock Wednes day morning. He was going through Somerset, a Republican stronghold, and started to make converts while many good people were sleeping peacefully and 500 citizens of Somerset disturbed their rest in order to hear the nominee. They cheered good and loud and the few remarks of Mr. Bryan were well i received. Mr. Bryan led off by telling the people he was glad to notice the in- . terest taken in the campaign by them. He declared that when the peoplestay up until 2 o’clock in the morning to see the presidential nominee it was an indi cation that they were interested in the right of self government He told them that if between now and election day they would get up as early in the morn ing as they did then and work as hard in behalf of Democracy as the nominee worked Tuesday, there w nal be no question of the success n cause. This statement was recen a with the greatest applause. He told them he could not enter into a discussion of the issues of the campaign in the short time that he was to speak, but he asked them to study the financial question thor oughly. A reception committee of 25 from Knoxville got on the train headed by John Sneed of that city. H. H. Hanna, the electoral delegat of the Second con gressional district of Tennessee, was one of the party and he brought with him 100 members of the Bolivar Springs Sil ver club. A Great Day For Knoxville. There was a stop of tv,*o hours at Knoxville. All night long people had come in on excursion trains and fann ers for miles around had driven in to hear the nominee. It was one of the greatest days that Knoxville ever knew. The train arrived at Knoxville shortly before 8 o’clock, and Mr. Bryan was , taken immediately to the speaker’s stand in front of the courthouse. He was introduced by ex-Governor Robert L. Taylor with a few appropriate re marks. On the stand were seated Judge Clark of the United States district court; D. L. Snodgrass, chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Tennessee; W. D. Beard, W. C. Caldwell, W. D. McAllis ter and John 8. Wells, associate justices of the supremo court, and other promi nent gentlemen. When Mr. Bryan ap peared, it was the signal for the great est applause. This section is a great stronghold of the Republican party in the south, but the Republicans were not in evidence during the day. There were between 14,000 and 18,- 000 people in the audience to which Mr. Bryan spoke. He said in part: It gives me great pleasure to nv-et the people of East Tennessee wuo have as sembled here in such great numbers. 1 am sure that when I speak for an inde pendent financial policy my words will strike a responsive chord in the hearts of mountain people, because the mountain people of the world have always been friends of independence and liberty. You can find among them those who are con fident in their strength and who are there fore not willing to bow the head or bend the knee to' the oppressor. I come to you as the representative of a principle para mount in this campaign. It is the right or 70,00.1.000 of people to have just the kind of a financial system that they want whether any other foreign nation helps us to have it or is Willing for us to have it. [Great Applause], The Lines Clearly Drawn. In this campaign, as never before in the country, have tne lines been drawn between those who believe in the possibil ities of America and those who believe in abject dependence upon foreign nations. It this nation is not real enough to have a financial policy of its own, it, ought to annex itself to some power that is great enough to take care of our people. [Ap plause]. Agaiust the maintenance of a gold standard lor one year or forever, the Democratic party has arrayed itself. We are opponed to a gold standard. We have declared an honorable opposition to it. We have commenced a war of extermi atiou against it, a war that will notcea.se while there is any party or any consider able number of men who are attempting to fasten the yoke upon independent peo ple. [Applause]. I seek no votes under false pretenses. I want no vote for me under this understanding. If there is any one who believes that the gold stand ard is a good thing or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him that it will not lie maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it. I [Cheers and applause]. My friends, when you find a n.irty which tells you what it wants and tells you how it is going to get it, and what in the judg ment of those who advocate it the t fleet, of that policy will be, you have the right to conclude that they are honestly believ ing the justice of the cause which they represent, aud when you find people who use the term sound money, without tell ing you what sound money is; when you find people who talk about an honest dol lar and deal dishonestly with .the people with whom they come in contact, you have a right to believe that they are not devoted to the cause of the people whom they are not willing to take into their confidence. I assert that when they at tempt to build a financial system upon a money which they cannot produce, that they are building op an insecure struc ture upon an invisible foundation and In sulting the intelligence of those who mean what they say and say what they mean. [Applause]. Bryan Makes Explanations, Mr. Bryan then explained what the term of 16 to 1 means and said that there was no danger of a flood of silver. He also explained the ways that money was put into circulation, and while he was in the midst of this explanation some one called: “Mark Hanna is going to put it into circulation." "That is increasing the circulation,” j answered Mr. Bryan, "just before elec- I tion in order to contract it after elee ; tion.” [Great applause and cheering]. | Mr. Bryan, in conclusion, asked the | people not to crowd him aud repeated what he hud smd previously about being afraid of monopoly aud eouscquauU/ not wanting to shake hands with a few to the exclusion of the many. When Mr. Bryan concluded his speech he was taken to the depot, where the crowd had assembled and the police had a hard time to get him through. A special train was taken to Asheville and at 9:40 the party was on its way frem Knoxville. The committee whieh re ceived Mr. Bryan escorted him back to Asheville, anil at Hot Springs, N. 0., the committee from Asheville of 75 took the train in charge. The North Caro lina committee had come to Knoxville and took the train with the nominee. They were Julian S. Carr, chairman of the North Carolina reception commit tee; Major E. J. Dale, representing Chairman Mauley of the state central committee; Josephus Daniels, national committeeman from North Carolina; W. F. Randolph, chairman of the trans porration committee. A reception committee from Asheville met the party with a special car which was attached to the train. A COMPROMISE EFFECTED. Illinois FopnllAtii Indorse Governor Alt gold aud the St Loui® Plalform. Chicago, Sept. 16 —After nine hours of exciting debate, the Populist state convention tacitly indorsed Governor Altgeld, by leaving the head of their ticket blank. The following is the ticket as nominated: Lieutenant governor, Henry D. Lloyd; secretary of state, L. A. Quellmaex; auditor, Grant Dunbar; attorney gen eral, E. I. Burdick; state treasurer, Jo seph Schwcrzgen; trustee state univer sity. Mrs. Fannie Kavanaugh; electors at-large, A. H. Allen, B > lie county; O. L. Bears, Bureau county. The fight of tlie convention was over the question of a gubernatorial nomi nation, and once or twice the police were called to eject disorderly delegates. A compromise was finally agreed upon, the head of the ticket being left vacant, aud Henry D. Lloyd, slated for the nom ination for governor, being nominated for lieutenant governor. The p.atform adopted indorses the St. Louis conven tion and contains the following: We do most; heartily indorse the wis dom of the national conveiiti >n in the nomination of Thom is E. Watson for vice president of the United St. ites. and most, emphatically denoii i. e any action whicli prevents the Popuii-ts of any stale from casting their bullous lor him The remaining presidential electors will be presented to the state executive committee by each con aessiotnil district. THE’DISPENSARY SCANDALS (State Board of Control lleota and an Investi^atittn. Columbia, S. C.. Sept. 16.—The state board of control met hero to take action looking to the investigation of the dis pensary scandals. The board held a secret session of about three hours’ du ration and found diiliculty in outlining a plan in view of its lack of power to send for persons ami papers. Two of the members of the legislative commit tee on the dispensary were in the city and one was in consultation with the board for a short time. Upon adjourn ment the board made public this order: Ordered that a thorough investigation of the management of the dispensary be entered into at 9:30 o’clock tomorrow morning, aud that representatives of the press be admitted and the legislative ex amining committee be invited to attend and the attorney general be also invited to attend and a sist in said investigation. Ordered tiiat a stenographer be em ployeed to take testimony and that wit nesses be summoned. Commissioner Mixon has engaged B. L. Abney, a leading attorney, to watch his interest.-, and the commissioner no tified the board that he would refuse to appear unless the investigation was open to the general public. At the meeting the Richland county board of control reported one of the sub dispensers $1,752.19 short in his ac counts. Lord 'Kussell In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—Sir Russell, lord chief justice of England, and his party are in this city, the guests of Frank Thompson, first vice president of the Pennsylvania, railroad, at his coun try place, "C irkerhill. ” The visit is of a purely personal character, friendly re lations having existed between the two families for a number of years. The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad company gave a reception to Lord Rus sell during the afternoon. That Tired Feeling is exceedingly common and dangerously significant.
