Next Vorcmiwt the Democratio
dram* will beet the tettoo.
The lest Democratic preeldent
was a bachelor, and the next Demo
cratic preeident will be one.
The fact that Governor Cleve
land U a bachelor makea it the
■ore appropriate that be abould
step into Tilden’a shoes.

Alth&ugh the Rtooxrxa favora
Cleveland and Cariiale, it mnet con
fess that the preaent outlook ia that
the ticket will be Cleveland and
MoDoneld.
Upon hia return to Washington
after a week’e recreation at borne,
Judge Crisp was called to the chair
in the committee of the whole on
a question of considerable interest,
and Bia rulings were so prompt and
ooPreot that be won a high stand
ing in the House.
Horaoe 'Greeley once said that
what the 8outh wanted was more
herds and suitable pastures for
them. With plenty of grass and
plenty of stock there wculd be vast
quantities of manners to enrich
the soil. Tbe old philospher's re
mark is as applicable to Southwest
Georgia to-day as it was when It
was when U was uttered years ago.
It is said that Jay Gould’s for
tune has shrunk |S5,000,000 within
the peat few months, and that he
>ishn tbe Verge of bankruptcy. His
immense fortune, as well as those
of other large speculators, was nev.
er anything but a bubble, liable at
any time to vanish into thin air.
It would be a good thing for the
country if all these financial bub.
bles were pricked.
The resolutions adopted by tbe
Demooiatio State Conven.ion of
Texas declare that “the tariff for
protection is unconstitutional and
unjust, and oonfilcta with the genius
and spirit of free government. The
present tarifl is denounced as a
scheme for the protection of mo
nopolies and the master-piece of
IqJuUloe and false pretence. It
haarfestroyed American commerce,
•diminished the profits of American
agriculture and enslaved American
labor.” .
We would like to see a little
Democratic pluck from this time
bsnoeforth and forever. The Radi-
cals are bold enough to announce
themselves boldv for protection—
a heresy that oppresses the people.
Are we not bold (?) enough to de
clare Democracy on the side ot the
people! Tbe Radicals are bold
enough (even after haring robbed
ua of nearly all the public lands) to
declare for railroad regulation.
Shall we permit them to literally
steal this Democratic plank from
under us?
Ur. 1*. W. Alexander has retired
trom the editorial management of
the Telegraph uud Messenger, Col.
A. R. Lamar taking his place.
Tho change was made because of a
disagreement between Ur. Alexan
der and tbe managers as to tbe
policy of the paper— Mr. Alexan
der favoring a conservative policy,
while Messrs. Hanson favored a
more aggressive policy. Col. La
mar will now proceed to make it as
warm as any |>olitica! salamander
co'ild ask for. living a rigorous
writer and handling the English
language for all there :s in it.
One of tbe largest assemblages
of colored citizens ever seen in the
Eastern district assembled in Turn
Hall, New York. Tknrsdav nigiit
to discuss the political situation.
Mr. T. Thotuas Fortune, editor of
the New York Globe, male a brief
speech, prefacing it with the re
mark that he did not think Mr.
Blaine was tbe iiest mao tbe party
could have nominated, lie was
nominated bv the star-route gentle*
men, and tla* it had slreidy
disrupted the party, ar.d. these'ore,
CLEVELAND AMI CARLISLE.
Tbe times demand of the Demo
cratic party the nomination of pure
end able men on Jts presidential
ticket—men who have a clean ofB--
clel record end who lepresent tbe
principle of reform In every branch
of the government. Such meu ere
Grover Cleveland, ot New York,
and John G. Carliala, of Kentucky.
Gov. Cleveland waa elected gov*
ernor ol New York by a majority
of nearly two hundred thousand, a
majority unparalleled In the his
tory of the State. Hie administra.
tlon baa been a firm, juat and pure
one, and during It ha has Introdno*
ed reforms that others feared to
undertake. He haa the confidence
and esteem of the solid business
men of the ooontry, end more fully
represents that feature of adminis
trative reform alluded to in .Mr.
Tilden'a letter than any man
in tbe Democratic party. Ua
would be the artipoda of Blaine
and would rally to hia support
that large olass of patriotic and
non-partisan voters classed as
Independent*.
Speaker Carlisle baa provon him
self, in bis official career, to lie (In
sularly upright aud devoted to
principle. Aa candidate for Speak
er he announced himself a* |. icier-
ring defeat to surrendering tbe
principle for which he waa contend
ing, and refused even to modify
hie opinions 'In order to secure
votes. More than any other man
in tbe party he represents the prin
ciple of tariff reform, whioh we be
Ueve will be one of the leading fa.*
auea in the coming presidential con*
teak
Such a ticket would not only.be a
pars ons, representing the living
principles of tbs Democratic party,
but it would be a national one—
Cleveland representing the great
commercial interests of the North
and East, and Carlisle representing
tbe great agricultural interest* of
tbe South and West. There is no
good reason why the great section
south of the Ohio river should not
be represented on tbe presidential
ticket, and there are a number of
good reasons why it should be.
Wo hullovo tho time to be oppor-
tune for a recognition of the claims
of tbs South as a loyal and integral
portion ot the Union, and we fur
ther believe that the nomination of
John G. Cariiale, of Kentucky, a
brave Federal soldier, would be tbe
fitting end of the era of sectional
prejudice and enmity, and an ap
propriate inauguration ofa cyole of
pesos aud good wilL

TOO HEAVY TO CARRY.
Above is the title of Neat's lsat
cartoon in Hn-per’s Weekly. Tbo
Republican party ia represented by
an elephant, whose back la broken
in endeavoring to carry a large
nmguet, which it labeled “Magnotio
Blaine.'’ The belly-liand of civil
service reform is broken, wbilo
high up in tbe air, aliove a kite, Is
the presidential chair of 1885.
THE BLAINE IIOLT.
The Republican bolters of tbo
Blaine ticket seem to increase in
number* and confidence, and are
osganizing for a determined fight.
They will hold a national conven
tion after the Democratic conven
tion in Chicago, and either endorse
the Democratic ticket or put a new
one in the field.
It now comes that lion. James
G. Blaine, of Mainu, will take the
stump in support of the Republican
candidate for the presidency. Of
course this will lie something en
tirely unusual, but it should be re
membered that Mr. Blaine is by no
means a common-place man.
The Germans refuse to support
be qould not be elected. Ha I Blaine, and it is claimed that their
advised the colored ;*eo| le to go defection will jive Ohio ami Wis-
with the Democratic party. * cousin to the Democrats.

nnd B. F. Matthews.
Stewart ooanty—not represent-
ed.
Captain J. D. Wilson stated
th*t be had been requested to re
present Webster county.
Captain C. A. Redd gave infor
mation relative to tbe mass meet
ing held in this city some time
ago. He said the committee ap
pointed at that time had been
somewhat retarded by the absence
of some members and' business en
gagements of others. Unexpect,
edly Captain J. W. Wool folk, secre
tary of the committee, waa absent
at Now Orleans nnd all of the re-
oorda of what had been done were
in bis possession. Capt Redd
thought about $80,000 bad been
subscribed by Colutnbus.
Cspt. W. A. Little, chairman of
tbe committee to obtain a charter,
stated that tht proper adver
tisement had been made in the
different counties and he expected
to obtain the charter early in
July.
Capt Welsh, of Albany, end one
of tbe directors of tbe Brunswick
end Western railroad, read a letter
from Mr. Morse, general manager
ofthe road, stated that if the peo
ple along the route would guaran
tee to complete tbe road bod by a
given time hia company would
agree to Iron and equip it, and op
erate tbe road. Capt Welsh said
the Brunswick and Western com
pany would have already built tbe
road but for tbe pressure of money
affsirs and having taken control ol
another line. The company was
now building a line to Florida, and
Capt Welsh thought the Columbu*
Southern, if built, should be built
in connection with the Brunswick
and Western. He did not think
Albany would be able to give much
Dnaneial aid to tbe road.
Dr. Kendrick, of Dawson, said
his citizens have for three or fonr
months been considering the build
ing of a short road to Albany, but
they would like very much to have
a road to Columbus. He thought
bis county would raise $50,000 for
a road runniog by Dawson. He
had recently seen several citixens
of Webster county, and they are
anxious to have a road to Colum
bus.
THE TARIFF.
bxcoxd or Tnx democratic r.im.
Capt J. C. Wilson, of Pinevilte,
said be was requested by tbe citi
zens of western Marion county to
say to tbe meeting that they want
cil a railroad, and wanted it bail.
They live outside of the world and
they want to got back. He said
that hi* people wen! poor, bat not
withstanding that poverty they
had authorized him to pledge them
for $10,000 to the enterprise. He
was also authorized by the citizens
of Webster county to'pledge them
for $10,000. They were not partic
ular about the exact route, only
that the road ruu near enough to
them to be of some benefit
Judge Castleberry said Chatta
hoochee county was smalt and poor,
but hr thought he could assure tbe
meeting that his county would do
her full part. At a recent meet
ing at Cusseta $0,000 were sub
scribed to the enterprise, and he
thought it would lie increased to
$10,000.
Capt Welsh said, taking tbe fig-
urea from Chief Wiae'a survey, the
road bed ol a road from Columbus
to Albany would cost $439,750 tbe
total superstructure $418,000, and
tbn total cost of road, including
buildings, telegraph line, etc., $1,
088,000, or a little more than $19,-
000 a mile, lie ga.e the distance
as 85 miles from Columbus to Al
bany.
Captain Redd said he didn’t sup
pose any of tl.e committees were
authorized to pledge their towns
for any amount, unless the road was
to run near enough to them tobd of
benefit. He, therefore, moved that
the committees be continued, and
that they be instructed to associate
others with them and go to work at
Tbe Chronicle and Constitution
aiist has assarted that tbe Demo
cratic party has aver favored a pro
tective tariff! It has alleged that
Jefferson and Jackson were pro
tective tariff advocates. These as
sertions we have denied and de
manded the proof. At no little
trouble and labor we have brushed
away the dusty records of our par
ty in the past, end drawn from Ua
long u;ed shelves every platform
of principles U haa adopted, In
every presidential caucus or con
vention from the year 1800 when
Jefferson was eleoted until now,
which we ask our contemporary to
read, and tall the people if he finds
any protection in those platforms.
If there is anything we do know,
it Is Democracy. In lu faith
born, baptised and educated, have
never departed from it since and
expect to die end be buried in a
good old-fashioned Demooratio cof
fin. Below tbe platform* will be
tound:
1800. Sixth—Free commeree
with all nation*—political conneo-
tions with none and little or no
diplomatic establishment.
1830. Hostility to any and all
monopolists by legislation, because
they are violations of tbe equal
rights ot tbe people.
The true foundation of a repub
lican government ia the equal
rights of every citizen in his per
son, property and in its manage
ment.
1840. Setolved, That justice
and sound policy forbid the federal
government to foster one branch
of industry, or to cherish the in
tarest of one portion of our com-
aon country.
Setolved, That it is tbe duty of
every branch of the government to
embrace and practice the moat
rigid economy in conducting onr
public affairs, and that no more
revenue ought to be raised than ia
required to defray the necessary
xpenses of tbe government.
Ini
1844 tbe party readopted tbe
platform of 1840.
1848. Setolved, That it la the
duty of every branch of tbe gov
ernment to enforce and practice
the moat rigid economy in conduct,
ing our public allairs, and that no
more revenue ought to be raised
than is required to defray tbe nec
essary expense* ofthe government,
and for tbe gradual hut certain
extinction of a just and necessary
war deot.
And that the results of Demo-
oratio legislation lu this and all
other financial measure*, upon
which issues have been made be
tween the two political parties of
tbe country, have demonstrated to
oareful and. practical men of all
parties their soundness, safety and
utility in all business pursuits.
Setolved, That the fruits ofthe
great political triumph ol 1844 baa
tullflllcd tbe hopes ol the Democra
cy ot tbe Union in tbe noble Impulse
given to the eause ol free tradejby
tbe repeal of the tariff of 1848 and
the creation of tbe more equal,
honest and productive tariff of
1846; aud that in our opinion It
would be a fatal error to weaken
the bands ofa political organisation
by wbicu these great reforms have
been achieved and risk them in tbe
bands ol their known adversaries
with whatever deluaiveappeahtliey
may solicit our surrender of that
vigilance which is the only safe,
guard of liberty.
1858. Tbe Democratic conven
tion of 1858
Reserved, that it is the duty ol
every branch ot the government to
enforce and praotice the most rigid
economy in conducting our public
affairs and that no more revenue
ought to be raised than ia required
to defray tbe necessary expenses of
tbo government, and for the gradu
al, but cortnin extinction of the
public debt.
Setolved, That in view of the
condition of popular institutions in
tbe old world, a high and snored
duty is devolved with increased re
eponsibility upon the Democracy
of this country as the party of the
people, to uphold and maintain the
rights of every state and tbereby
thc union of tbe state, and to sus
tain and advance among them cop
stitutional liberty by continuing to
resist all monopolies and exclusive
legislation for the benefit of tbe
few at tbe expense of many.
1856. Setolved, That justice
and sound policy forbid tbe federal
government to foster one branch of
industry to the detriment of anoth
er, or to cherish the interests ol
one portion of our common country.
It also repeats verbatim the first
drawn from tbe people bv
except so much as is requisite for
tbe necessities of the government,
economically administered, being
honestly applied to anch payment.
A tariff for revenue upon foreign
imports end such equal taxation
under tbe internal revenue laws as
will give incidental protection to do
mestic manufacturers, and as will,
without impairing the revenue, Im
pose the least burden and promote
and encourage the great industrial
interests of the country.
187$. We denounoe the present
tariff levied upon nearly 4,000 arti
cle* as a masterpiece of injustice,
inequality and false pretense. It
S aids a dwindling, not yearly rls-
g revenue. It has impov
many industries to subsldiz
It prohibits Import* that might

commerce from Ibe first to the in
ferior rank on tbe high sees. It
has cut down the sales of American
manufacturers at home and de
pleted tbe returns of American ag
riculture, an industry followed by
half our people. It costs the peo
ple five time* more than it produces
to tbe treasury, obetruots the pro
cesses ot production aud wastes the
fruits of labor, it promotes fraud,
foster* smuggling, enriches dishon-
est officials and bankropts honest
merchants. We demand that all
custom house taxation shall be only
for revenue.
1880. In tho Democratic plat
form of 1880 tho old doctrine waa
tersely proclaimed
Home rule; heneat money, con-
aists of gold, silver and paper con
vertible'on demand; the strict
maintenance of the pnblio talth
state and national, and a tarifl tor
revenue only,
This ia Democratic history from
Democratic authority. If the pro
tection Democratic papers and
their political God, Samuel J. Ran
dall, can convict our noble old par
ty of ever espousing protection
monopoly from this record, we
shall be pleased to see and read it.
Otherwise they stand convicted of
having departed from the religion
of their fathers and wandered after
etrange Gods.
