Eli Crump, of Etowah couuly,
Alabama, who broke jail with a
pewter spoon will doubtless be an
enthusiastic supporter of Ben the
Butler. Might we not say be is
now an “cleotor at large” as it
were?
It is to the protective tariff, ac
cording to Blaine, that we owe our
present state of prosperity. That
is wbat we have always said. But
we would rather have a little less
of the tariff and good deal more
prosperity.
Hundreds of New Yorkers who
never snored before tho advent of
elevated roads now toot their nasal
bugles in the most awful manner.
Concussion is said to be the cause.
—Constitution.
Yes; and doubtless hundreds of
other New Yorkers concur in con
cussing those nasal-tooting cater-
wauiers in human shape.
Some of Blaine’s relatives arc
pretty old. When Blaine was at
Bellsire, Ohio, last Saturday, bis
unole John Ewing, of Washington,
Pa., came to see him. Mr. Ewing
is 88 years of age, and was a mem
ber of Congress many years ago.
He is the oldest living graduate of
Washington and Jefferson College
of Pennsylvania.
The silent flow ol tho Cleveland j con delegation gave him only a
current is deceiving many lookers | half a vote,

GENERAL PHIL COOK.
Him Oat of the Democratic
Partr—* F.w Thought, on
me situation.
IltwkiojrUle Dl.r'Vh.
Let it be rememlicred that Oen.
Phi! Cook, who the democrats of
the Third congressional district
honored with a seat in congress for
twelve years, voted on Wednesday
last against the regular nominee of
the democratic parly for senator
of the Thirteenth district—Sum
ter Republican.
The Sumter Republican is con
stantly reading out of the demo
cratic party some of its best and
truest members. Capt. John A.
Cobb, poor fellow, was compelled
to take a back seat two years ago,
and now the Republican has tack
led old Phil Cook. The old Gen
eral has hosts of friends Btill living
in the wiregrass counties over this
way, and they would like to know
the details of his crime against the
democratic party.
It seems that Gen. Cook voted
for W. D. Murray, of Schley coun
ty, for senator, against Col. .J. N.
Hudson, also of Schley. The dis
trict is composed of Sumter, Schley
and Macon counties. The rotation
rule prevails in that district, as it
does generally throughout the
State. It was Schley county’s
time to present a candidate for
senator. Schley eleoted delegates
in favor of W. D. Murray, a solid
citizen and a democrat, but not a
lawyer or politician. When the
convention assembled in Americus
the politicians and some others in
that city objected to Murray, and
succeeded in preventing his norm
nation. After a long wrangle,
Col. Hudson, of Schley, was nomi
nated against the wishes of the
delegates from Schley. Only a
half a delegate from Macon county
voted for Hudson, that is the Ma-

there is an absence of power and
depth in the movement, but they
are mistaken. Cleveland is a strong
candidate and good work is being
done for him.
The Christian Index thus sums
up Baptist progress in Georgia
during the hundred years just com
pleted: “When the Georgia asso.
elation organized at the old Kiokco
church, there were only 430 Bap
tists, Qve churches and one asso
ciation in the state. Wc now have
a countless host; as nearly as we
can come to it, wo would say 250,-
000 Baptists, 1,600 churches and
100 associations.
It is announced in Nuw York
thst a syndicate of ten leading
millionaires and monopolists, con
sisting of Jay Gonld, W. II. Van
derbilt, C. P. Huntington, Russell
Sage, Cyrus W. Field, John Jacob
Astor, the Soligmsns, John ltonch,
D, O. Mills and Levi Morton, have
pledged $1,000,000 to the Republi
can oommlttee for the purpose of
carrying Ohio on Tuesday. It is
thought that with this and other
funds tho grand old party may
espeot to purchase from 10,000 to
80,000 floating voters, even if they
have to pay as high as $100 each
for a great many of thorn.
In 1880 Mr. Dorsey—now an
ardent anpporter of Biaine—scat
tered these pli cards over all the
large cities and manufacturing
districts: “Republican protection
means plenty of work with good
wages and empty poorhouscs.”
“Democratic free trade means
eloeed workshops, starvation wages
and crowded poorhouscs.” His
suceessor is .not doing it. This
year the Democratic committees
would And it profitable to reprint
these placards and post them where
the Republicans posted them four
years ago.
senator though he bid been de
feated in the convention. He en
tered tho race, and a lively con
test ensued, resulting in his elec
tion by an overwhelming majority.
He carried his own county (Schley)
by a majority of 304, and Macon
county gave him a majority of 505.
Hudson carried Sumter county by
a majority of only 405.
Well, Murray was elected, and
hundreds of good and true demo
crats voted for him. Hudson is
also a good democrat, and an ex
cellent citizen, but his nomination
at Americus was accomplished by
a sncriflcc of former rules and
usages, and over the wishes of a
majority of tho people of bis own
county, who had already expressed
themselves in fnvor of Murray.
This explains the offense of Gen
eral Cook against the organized
democracy. Wc have not alluded
to it for the purpose of defending
General Cook, who needs no de
fense, rs the majorities of Macon
and Schley counties sustain bis
course, but our object is to warn
tho democrats generally against
making nominations unfairly. A
fair, square nomination is necessa
ry to secure party harmony and
perpetuate the organization.
All of tho trouble that has been
caused in the Seventh congres
sional district of this State for the
last ten years grew out of tho trick
ery and wirepulling in 1874 in the
nomination of Trammell. The
democracy rebelled against the
“ring” and Dr. Felton led the in-
dependent element to victory time
and again, until ring rule ceased
to exist. Dr. Felton was beaten
at last, but the people had accom
plished their object.
The pcoplo of Bartow county
have just elected Dr. Felton to the
legislature, and he will make
valuable and useful member. Dr.
Felton is a Democrat. General
Cook is a democrat. Murray Is u
democrat, and the Sumter Repub
lican would do well to cease im
pugning the democracy of good
and true men.

on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your

though no one could explain the

couldn’t be kept up, and the Chair
