II, ’M 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, on.

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- To Gi?e Yon an Idea of ¥Tbat H?s Been The whole trouble was caused by parties in Americus who were 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. Her.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith 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 power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from SO to 60 per cent, of the actual value.

When Blaine j place, and for many years was a was nominated there was probably j “Aerator of the Mercer Baptist more enthusiasm in California than in any other State in the Union, though no one could explain the cause. The enthusiasm, however, couldn’t be kept up, and the Chair man of the State Executive Com mittee now writes that he thinks California will give Cleveland about 10,000 majority. He also says thst the Congressional dele gation will be solidly Democratic io tbs next Congress, as it Is in tbs present. Association.
