Americus Recorder.
1BK THIRD DISTRICT.
Dodge county gives Crisp 133
majority.
‘ Telfair county gives Crisp 356
majority.
Tbis election reminds one of
1876 In tbe way the returns come
in.
This ts tbe turning period in tbe
official existence of many a Federal
placeman. And their boots tremble
in sympathy with them.
Tbe last two days has been a
kind of see-saw arrangement in pol
itics. Now you see it, and now
you don’t. Now we go up, and
now we go down.
“it Illinois goes Democratic, and
“our Carter’’ is elected Governor,
as tbe indications now are, we shall
make a bonfire of our old straw hat
and proceed to decorate tbe town
with deep-hued carmine.
It is said that twenty years ago
there were nearly fifty cotton mills
In Glasgow, Scotland. To day there
is barely a dozen, and those likely
to be closed. It might bavp been
added that there are now about
fifty in tbe Southern States, where
there were only a dozen twenty
years ago. Tbis is sufficient to
show the drift of business.
7 THE LEGISLATE UK.
The Georgia legislature convened
on Wednesday.
The House of Representatives
organized by electing Hon. W. A.
Little, of Alussngee, Speaker, by
an unanimous vote. Mark Hardin
was elected Clerk; L. M. Lamar, of
Pulaski, Speaker pro tern; J. li.
Smith, of Coffee, messenger; 11. J.
Wilton, of Richmond, Doorkeeper.
Tbe Senato organized by tbe elec
tion of Dr. U. H- Cailton,of Clark,
as President; W. A. Harris, of
Worth, Secretary; A. J. Cameron,
Meaionger; Lem Aired, Door-
•keeper.
A PAIR COl'NT.
Tbe Republican papers of the
North have made much ado aboul
what they are pleased to term the
frauds in the ballot box at the
South, and have frequently ex
pressed themselves that a “fair
count'’ would give the Republicans
a majority in the South. At the
election hold in this city on Tues
day one of the mauagers of the
election was Major Black, postmas
ter, and he it was who deposited
every ballot in tho box and scanned
every ballot as it was eouuted. The
ballots taken from the box tallied
to a dot with the list of voters kept
by the elerks. Yet the Democratic
candidate for congress received a
majority of the voles cast at tbis
precinct, although it wus confident
ly expected by the Republicans
that their candidate would receive
a majority. If there was “fraud"
in this, then there is fraud in the
ballot all over the country. The
trouble with the Republicans is that
they connt upon every negro vot
ing the Republican ticket, when in
tact, very many ot them vote the
- straight Democratic ticket, and
their number is increasing every
year.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Tbe New York Herald lias open-
ened a crusade on tile Associated
Press for the very partisan dis
patches it lias sent out during the
present campaign; and it calls oj
all Democratic papeis to unite with
it in a protest against this, and not
only to protest, but to take steps
to prevent our news from being
manufactured for us, or distorted
so as to deceive. Tho safety of
this country lies in a free and inde
pendent press. That press is
muzzled if its source of news is
tampered with, if it cannot get a
thoroughly fair and impartial re- j
port of events, if the Democratic j
news is suppressed and that favor- j
able to the Republicans not only [
given but giveu in an exaggerated
form.
The Associated Press is supposed
to be non-partisan and freu irom
politics. It ts an association of
newspapers, Djtmooratle, Republi-
Cio and Greenback, to secure tbe
naw«, tbe truth and tbe whole
truth. There are- fully as many
Democratic subscribers to ft, and
these Democratic Journals cannot
allow their columns to be made the
medium of giving to the country
deceptive information, tortured
and twisted so as to present a false
idea of the situation. It is almost
impossible to estimate the immedi-
ate advantage that the Republicans: _ _
possess in being thus able to pre-| TO Gl76 YOD 211 1(163 Of Wfclt HSS BE6Q

in the columns of every Democratic
paper in the Union.

The other day Maud and I were
coming out of a shop near Oxford
Circus, when a woman in “Salva
tion bonnet” (does it not sound
profane) ? banded us a bit of paper.
It lies on my pink blotting paper
now and deeply outbluslies it, as
well it may. It contains an an
nouncement of a “demonstration”
to bo held and conducted by “Com
mandant” H. Booth, assisted by '
certain “stall captaifls. staff lloiiten- ;
ants and sergeant majors.” Among
the attractions of tile evening are
announced as speakers: “Jackal

Prophetess.” There .' what a gal

succeeded in making the trip.
When they couldn’t ride on top of
a box car they tried a flat car.
Sometimes they rode just behind
the tender on a passenger train,
and at others they rode on the
trucks under the cars. They have
endured cold and hunger and
braved unusual perils. They are

-Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who lmd 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, hut the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do hut to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was had for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, I'or, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Wnxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thir.y-Tliree Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens andjMen’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Holiday Morning
and itgwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
