farmers’ movement in the south will cer
tainly overthrow the Democratic party.
AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. THIS FALL'S ELECTIONS.
The leading capitalist, and bankers of! The following elates will hold clec-

President J. Ed vard Simmons, of the and a full house of delegates.

condition.
President II. W. Cannon, of the Chase
National bank, takes the same position,
lie says :
We have, during the spring and sum
mer, been dealing with Europe on a casli
basis. *nd we must continue to do so for
sometime to come. Fortunately the
condition of affairs is such that they in
turn must deal with us on the same
basis, aud they will be compelled to
make heavy remittances in gold in pay
ment for our grain and produce, which
is now moving. This will be of great
assistance to the busiuess interests of

prophecy that America would be the

Rutherford H. Haves has so fallen | Charles R. Flint, of Hint & Co., ship
into obscurity that two men In Knox- ! owners and commission merchant., says:
villo actually got Into a fight a. to
whether he was alive or dead, the other
day. .Such is fame! Ili. fraudulency of

Tut: Republican committee, in accept
ing the resignation of <)uay, declares
that ho is an honor to the Republican
party. Yes, be honors the party by his
resignation, anil tlio bosses seem to
recognize tho fact by connecting the
two ideas together.

M.JOhTt. X. Ely, formerly attorney
general of the state and a noted planter
of Southwest Georgia, has been at
Albany, The major has for months
hung around the hotels and public re
sorts of tho city presenting a Bad illus
tration compared with Ids formor self.
The refusal of O'llricn and Dillon to
take part in tho Farnell movement has
greatly discouraged tho rarnollites, and
the chances are they will retire from the
field as a political party. Charles Stew
art Parnell has led the Irish cause gal
lantly for years, and he will bo com
pelled now to surrender tho leadership
Itp others,
In compliance with tho resolution by
Mr. Clifton of Chatham, Don. Pat Cal
houn will address the legislature next
Wednesday, August lk, upon the im
portance of Improving tho river and
harbors of. Georgia. Tho address will
be at 1130 o’clock a. m. Capt. Carter
of tho United States navy will probably
be present on that occasion.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, who is now traveling in
Europe, Id a recent letter from London
auggeata that it would be an excellent
idea for the English exliibltors at the
world's fair in Chicago to attach a tag
with the prico of each article In Eng
land above the prico of the same article
In the United States. The suggestion is
an excellent one. Tho difference would
very practically and forcibly Illustrate
the beauties of the McKinley high tariff,
and demonstrate to the people what
they are being robbed of by this lniqui
tous bill.
The Cincinnati Enquirer comes up
nobly to the support of Govornor Camp
bell after this fashion t "The State con
vention arbitrated the disputes lu the
Democratic party In Ohio. It rubs out
the linos which separate the sections.
It sets up tho standard around which all
Democrats rally. Tho question of Gov
ornor Campbell’s availability is no longer
one for discussion In Democratic circles.
The convention baa ro-nominated the
governor and associated with him
ticket Individually and collectively
sound and commendable. It has set the
pace for all Democratic instrumentali-
Imtiuations have been given out In
Washington that President Harrison can
no longer carry the weight of Wanaraa-
ker’a very questionable connection with
the Keystone bank failure and defalca
tion, and therefore quite plainly Indi
cated his deslro to see the Postmaster
General’s resignation, with a view to ac
cepting it at an early date. It Is now
said to be in the executive clutches,
and Its fate is regarded as a foregone
conclusion. That makes three reported,
frith Proctor, Noble and Wanamaker
out and Blaine sulking, the Harrison
administration appears to need all the
bolstering up wich Bro. Platt can give it
in New York.
Uli. John Foster, of The Tiuks-Ue-
cobdkb staff, who was a youthful mem
ber of the Burke County Sharp-
Shooters, Captain Holmes, In the
winter of 1830, participated iu tho first
actual warliko movement that openetj
hostilities, Tlio company of which he
was a member, acting under Governor
Brown’s orders, seized the United States
arsenal at Augusta, and thus was a par
ty to. tho drat overt act of war against
the United States. And In this connec
tion it Is a historical fact that Governor
Brown was really guilty of treason In
having seized the Augusta arsenal In ad
vance of the secession of Ceoigla,
It seems to mo that a good commer
cial year in tho United States Is assured.
It is possible that there may bo an im
provement in Wall street during the
coming fall, brought about by the in
creased earnings of railroads in moving
the large crops anti merchandise in ex
change from the manufacturing centers,
hut the general financial condition in
Europe is likely to he such as to discour
age speculation, so that wo may realize
what has been predicted by a prominent
financial writer—‘dead speculation with
live industry.’ ”
Mr. John II. Inman is quoted as fol
lows :
“The sontli has already made a largo
crop of wheat and corn In its grain-grow
ing sections. The cotton crop promises
to be large, but the indications aro that
it will be somewhat slow in moving, for
two reasons. First, because the season
is some ten days later than usual; and
second, becauso the price is so low that
the planters will not bring to market
rapidly. At a satisfactory price a plant
er would bring in twenty bales of his
first picking, while at a lower price he
would probably bring in ten bales to got
ready money and hold tlio balance flfctil
later.
“This, with tho low price per bale
which it now takes to movo cotton, will
require much less money to aecuro the
movements of the cotton crop during
the fall months than would otherwise
be tho case. This largo crop, liowovor,
is of course good for tho railroads, as
they will have a large tonnage rogardicss
of price."
The New York World fills three
columns with similar expressions of
opinion, all pointing to a general revival
of business and easier times this fall and
winter.
A HAD MOVE.
It docs not look well for the Richmond
A- Danville railroad company to bo
scrambling for every cent of cash they
can lay their hands on In tho way of tho
receipts of the Central road, and having
it expressed to Washington, when the
bulk of the money taken from Georgia
will have to be paid out here again In a
short while.
At this season of the year currency
begins to move south to pay for cptto'n,
and the fact that bank drafts on the east
aro not to ho accepted by the Rich
mond A- Danville railroad company looks
like they are more aDxious to take the
actual currency out of tho country than
to collect tlieir revenues.
That is one of the evils of having
headquarters so far away from home,
and is a strong argument In favor of our
merchants sticking to tho lines that are
more willing to reclprocato than tho R.
A D. seems disposed to do, judging
from the following ordor just issued by
them:
Richmond A Danville Railroad Company,
Operating the Centra^of Georgia—Office of
Comptroller, Savannah, Ga., July 81, 1801.—
On and after August 1 next (or as soon there
after as this order reaches you) make all re
mittances by express front your agency to
John W. nail, treasurer Richmond A Dan
ville railroad, Washington, D. C, Send no
drafts, checks or vouchers, but cosh your
drafts and cheeks, and remit everything In
currency.
Until proper remittance envelopes arc fur
nished you, use your bags or envelopes for
remittances.
(five this your personal and prompt atten
tion, and remit every dollar possible.
Aasxer If understood.
Edward McIxtthz, Comptroller.
The Central’s receipt* have always
been remitted to the Central railroad
bank at Savannah, and the checks for
operating expenses have been drawn up
on the hank here, or the money direct,
for the payment of tho employes iu Sa
vannah.
The new order will make quito a dif
ference in the amount of business done
by the Central railroad hank. The
agents of Savannah have been accus
tomed to deposit their cash with the
bank daily.
Whether the Richmond A- Danville
is In immediate need of the money, or
what reasons there may be for the order,
it was impossible to learn.
The Boston Herald (Independent)
hopes that Mr. Crisp may he chosen
speaker. It considers him, of all the
candidates, the one best qualified for
tho office. Among his qualifications It
instances "a general courtesy of bearing
and a disposition of fairness towards
his opponents." - i..».
Nebraska will elect associate justice of
the supreme court and two regents of
the state university.
New Jersey will elect part of the
senate and the assembly.
Ohio will elect governor and other
state officers and legislature, aud vote
upon a proposed amendment to the con
stitution providing (or uniformity of
taxation.
Pennsylvania will elect treasurer and
auditor general, and vote whether a eon
stitutional convention shall be held, and
elect delegates to the same.
New York will elect governor, lieuten
ant governor, secretary of state, con
troller, treasurer, attorney general, en
gineer and suiveyor, the senate, the
assembly, ten justices of the supremo
court, and a representative in congress
from tho tonth district.
Maryland, November 3, will elect gov-
ernor and other state officers and legis
lature, and vote upon six proposed
amendments to tbo constitution of the
state. Tho first empowers the governor
to disapprove separate items in appro
priation bills; tlio second restricts the
exemption of corporations from taxa
tion; the third providos for uniformity
of taxation; the fourth relates to tho
■election of county commisslonors; tin;
fifth authorizes tho sale of tho state's in
terest in all works of internal improve
ment, and the sixth empowers the legis
lature to pi ovide for the taxa.ion of
mortgages, if such taxation is imposed
in the county or city where tho mort
gaged property is situated.
In addition to the above, Kentucky
will, on August 3, elect governor aud
other state officers and legislature, and
vote upon tho constitution framed by
the convention which was elected Au
gust 4, 1800.
Texas, on August 11, will vote upon
five proposed amendments to tho con
stltution of the state. The first pro
vides for the registration of voters in
towns of 10,000 populati jn and over,
tho socond relates to the maintenance
of the common schools, tho third fixes
tho maximum rate of interest at 10 per
cent, and in contracts where no rate is
specified at 0 por cent; the fourth re
lates to local option, and the fifth pro
vides for establishing two or more civil
courts of appeal.
THE REASONS WIIY.
In regard to tho refusal of ex-Prcsi
dent Cleveland to take the stump In
Ohio, this fall, a good deal has been said,
but the St. Louis Republic states the
reasons why very neatly in the following
paragraph.
If Mr. Cleveland cannot leave home to
make speeches In the West, everyone ought
to understand that he has excellent non-par -
ttsan and unpolitical reasons for staying at
home ut present, and because they are strict
ly private reasons of is kind he rannoteven
hint at ol'lstde of tils family. It Is peculiarly
unmanly.to Ignore taein, and at the same
tlmec Itlclse him for being goverel by them*
It will bo soou that tlio Republican
makes It known In a delicate way that
tho first Democratic President tho coun
try has had in tho past twenty-five years
is soon to bccomo a * father, and every
true Democrat will wish him happiness,
and express tho hope that the young
American will make as noblo and honor
able a record as his distinguished father.
Nc w Oilcan States.
Reports from tho cotton crop are
varying. Advices received by cotton
men said It has been raining hoavily for
the last ton days, and old cotton is badly
damaged. The early cotton will begin
to opon In a few days, A cotton man
who Is now traveling through South and
Southwost Georgia, reports that the
crop is badly “spotted," some fields
showing up finely and others very poorly.
The rains have been very heavy and
continuous, and the cotton has begun to
rust and shed. Caterpillars have made
their appearance in tho black lands of
Alabama. Too much rain seems to be
the cause of the trouble. A factor who
has just returned from upper middle
Georgia reports that the crop there is
•mall hut hardy. Very little rain has
fallen so far and the crop has suffered
more from drought The cotcon is gen
erally about two weeks late for the sea
son, If tho rains continue tho result
will he to greatly shorten and retard the
crop, and will encourage rust and cater
pillars.—Savannah News.
