The Nebraska Independents have

A rumor has gained currency in
Savannah that Norwood may stand
for the Senate.
“This Is a Senate, n Senate of
equals, of men of individual honor
and personal character, and of ab
solute independence,” wrote Daniel
Webster In iiis reply to Hayue.
“We know no masters; we ac
knowledge no dictators. This i» a
a halt for mutual consultation and
discussion, not an arena for the ex
hibition of champions.” This ab
solute independence of which Web
ster speaks appears to be only a
tradition now so far us tlie House is
concerned. A dictator rules there
with a firm hand, and gag rule has
taken the place of mutual consulta
tion and dls'ussion.
It is thought the Force bill will
have no chance for consideration
before September.
“The Georgia Holocaust,” is what
the Washington papers now call
our State campaign.
The Republicans of Tennessee
have gone through the form of
nominating a regular State ticket.
It is said that I iced, McKinley
and Harrison have no disposition
to help Quay’s mau, Delameter. In

sdld Us river front to the Central
railroad at $100 per front foot.
Monroe county gave Anderson
ltk majority for Attorney-General,
and Hunnicutt 10>"> over both of the
other candidates for Commissioner.
The report now comes from
Washington that Blaiue Iscoquttlng
with the Farmer*’ Alliance, with a
view of boosting his presidential
boom in 1K92- It is said that be has
written a letter to the Farmers’
Alliance of his Slate, expressing
approval, iu dextrous diplomatic
phrases, of the general objects of
the organization, without commit
ting himself definitely ou the sub-
treasury bill, or any other specific
measure.
Ben Butterwortb, the brainiest
Republican Congressman from
Ohio, bas no chance for ie-electlon
for two reasons. In the first place
bis district is going to send a demo,
crat to Washington. In C'e second
place Butterworth could not be
nominated by his.party, because
Foraker and other Republican
bosses are against him. He bas the
good fortune, however, to tall luto
the snug position of secretary of
the World’s Fair at a salary of $12,
500.
In a colored convention held at;
Nashville, Tetiu., to elect otlicers of
tlie State t.eague, a resolution op
posing tlie Force bill was offered by
Rev. C. H. Smith, of the African
Methodist Publishing House. Tt
received considerable support, but
was defeated, uud a resolution fa
vorable to tlie hill was adopted os a
substitute. Tlie Nashville Herald
says that i!ev. Smith's resolution
received sufficient support toe early
reveal that the best informed and
conservative element among tile
colored people realize that tlie Force
bill is unwarranted.
Pennsylvania papers of both par
ties are now urging their partisans
to pay their poll taxes, so as to
qualify them to vote at tlie coming
elections. The Republicans rail at
tlie Georgia law requiring a (toil
tax qualification for voting, claim
ing lliat it disfranchises many ne
groes. But tbelaw of the strong
Republican State of Pennsylvania
not only does this, but it practically
applies to poor men only, for in
that State a mau who pays taxes
on property is not required to pay a
poll tax, as he is in Georgia.
It is now announced that Har
rison und Blaine are to have a con
ference over the reciprocity ques
tion. Blaine is not likely to sur
render.
There is a perceptible lull iu
State politics, nearly all the candi
dates having announced. But it
may be remarked that there is a
“hot time” coming.
Congressmen Crisp and Turner
have their calling and election
sure, and they will continue to
ntake excellent leaders of tlie
Georgia delegation.
A western journal describes a
candidate who ts bidding for the
Alliance vote as “a farmer with his
mouth.” There are several of them
in Georgia this year.
Senator Blair has made a calcula
tion aud has arrived at the conclu
sion that, at tlie rntc the Senate is
now discussing the tarifFblll. they
may complete it by December.
Tho commission of Justice Miller,
of the United States Supreme
Court, was signed by President
Lincoln and dates' back further
than that of any ether member of
the court.
Reed has growu wrathy at what
he terms his treatment by the Ken
ate, aud says the Force bill shall
pass before Congress adjourns.
But the Republican Senators have
resented bis interference strongly,
of which it Is said this last exhibi
tion will prove most offensive of all
and tend to defeat Reed's purpose.
They say he should be eontent with
running the House, which ought to
be enough for one mau.
Congressman Hooker, of Missis
sippi, has had better luck than
some of his colleagues in other
southern districts. A dispatch
states tiiat E. Barksdale, a promt
neut Alliance candidate, has with
drawn from the race against him
because Hooker defeated him in
Madison county. Barksdale has
always before carried that county,
aud his defeat there now Is said to
be due to his advocacy of tlie sub-
treasury bill.
When Cleveland came into office
there was only one Democratic of
fice holder of Presidential appoint
ment outside of Washington. By
Aug. 2, 1880, Mr. Cleveland had
made 2,731 appointments. When
Mr. Harrison came into office, t^ie
country was full of Republican of
fice holders, yet by Aug. 2, 1890,
he had api>olnted 3,602, or 817 more
than Cleveland appointed iu the
similar period.
Chicago Is alarmed over the pros
pects of tlie world’s fair. If the
force hill becomes a law the people
of tlie .Southern States will resent
tlie insult by refusing to make ex
hibits or attend the exposition.
Aud if the McKinley tariff bill Is
passed very few of the foreign na
tions will consider it worth while
to make exhibits in a country from
which they are excluded by iegls*-
latlon.
Tiie Senate, up to July 29th, has
passed 296 lulls, and 150 others have
been acted upou by committees aud
indefinitely postponed. Out of 10,-
000 bills introduced in the House,
S50 have been passed.
A dispatch from Austin says that
millions of caterpillars have invad
ed that section of Texas, and it may
be that the cotton crop of this State
will be seriously injured. The
pests are out three weeks earlier
than usual.
A proposition to run ex-Governor
Bullock for Congress against Liv
ingston is being discussed in Wash
ington. With the united Republi
can vote and the disaffected Demo
crats it is thought lie would have a
fair chance of the election.
Commenting upon the fact that
Congressman Turner was renomi
nated by acclamation, the Savannah
News says : “Now let Representa
tives Lester and Crisp and Blount
ami others who have served their
eanstituents well and faithfully he
renominated in the same way. If
the South wishes to retain her in-
fiuenee in national atlaira she must
keep her capable and experienced
men in congress.”
It is saiii that Governor Gordon
aroused wild enthusiasm among
the old soldiers in ids eloquent
speccli at Montezuma. When tlie
Governor concluded, General I’liil
Cook spoke. He did not stand long,
but ids speech was full of meaning.
He kept ills hearers roaring from
the time lie got up until lie fook his
scat, and lie went back and related
incidents of tlie war time and cap
tured tiie veterans.
The university graduates li ve
had such a full swing in holding
political ofilces iu Georgia, says the
Enquirer-Sun, that Mercer has de
cided to enter the lists. Congress
men Grimes has been defeated by
a Mercer graduate in the fourth;
Clements has retired before a Mer
cer graduate In the seventh, and if
Major Barnes is defeated iu tlie
tenth it will be by a Mercer grad
uate. Is tbe country to understand
that Mercer has gone iuto partner
ship with tbe Alliance?
Boiton Herald makes the follow
ing slgnlflesnt comment: “Vice-
President Morton Is very busy
nowadays He has just finished a
fortnight at Saratoga, and he is
now at his summer residence
ou the Hudson. He will remain
there but a few days, however, aud
will then go to Bar Harbor. And
yet some people seem to think that
the Vice-Presidential office is
mere sinecure.
FOR THE NOMINEES.
There are many reports about in
dependent candidates for tlie Leg
islature and county ofilces. Tbe
Recorder is inclined to believe
that these reports are the outgrowth
us dissatisfaction with tlie result
of the primary election, hut that
there will he no muleriuilzatiou.
Whether there he or. not, (ho Re
corder wants it distinctly under
stood that it will stand by the nom
inees of the party, as the expressed
choice of the Democratic party. It
fought for Its friends to tbe last, as
it had a right to do, but when the
polls dosed its fight was ended, ex
cept ill behalf of the uouiluees of
the party. The Recorder lias no
sympathy with those who would
attempt to defeat tbe nominees of
t),e Democratic party by means of
independent candidates.
Whatever may be said in regard
to tbe influences whieli controlled
the recent primary election, the
fight was made witliiu the ranks of
the Democratic party, and no -true
Democrat will revolt at tile decis
ion.
As a matter of news, the Recor
per will publish all It hears in re
gard to the politics of the county
aud State, but is in no wise bound
by tlie opinions expressed by
t tilers.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
Senator Vest, during the tarifl'
discussion the other day, exhibited
an advertisement of tiie Fire and
Marine Insurance Company
Springfield, Mass., which warned
Its agents against negro houses, or
negro church and school houses
At tiiat time Senator Hoar, ol
Massachusetts, was weeping over
the alleged unjust treatment of the
negroes by Southern Democrats.
A Bostcu paper estimates that
the Farmers’ Alliance will have
3,000,000 members before next De
cember. So vnst a body of men,
moviug togetber and properly led,
asserts the Macon Telegraph, ought
to be able to destroy tbe robber tar
iff, mase stiver as much money as
gold aud repeal all other clasB leg
islation oppressing tbe farmers of
tbe country.
Senator Plumb cut loose from
the Republican ranks Friday
and voted with tbe Democrats on a
tariff amendment. His action cre
ated a decided sensation, it being
the first break Jn the solid party
vote. He delivered an able tariff
reform speech, and was afterwards
followed by Paddock ou the hy
draulic cement amendment.
In accepting tbe nomination of
Congressman from the Fourth dis
trict, Sir. Moses made use of the
following patriotic language: “I
am a true Democrat, aud stand
upou tiiat bed-rock of liberty and
freedom, yet I shall know no cinss
and represent no element but the
whole people."
THE FARMER IS ALL RIGHT.
Tlie Memphis Appesl says wisely
that the “farmer has quite as much
reasou to vote for the benefit of his
fsriu as the manufacturer has to
vote for tlie benefit of bis factory.
These people who are showing
nervousness over the appearance of
the farmer in politics should quiet
their apprehensions. Tbe farm
is all right, and his par-
ticlpation in the councils
the Democratic party will be
of the most wholesome effect. He
will not spiitor permit tbe southern
democracy to be split. He is ask
ing for certain legislation, but he
will not forget to do “equal aud ex
act Justice” toeverybody. The far
mers of the south constitute the
backbone of tlie democracy of tbe
south. They are democrats first
last »ud alt the time. In their
hearts tlie principles of tbe democ
racy have their surest foundation.”
Senator Colquitt made a clever
hit in a speech a few days ago, iu
support of a motion to cut down the
rates of bulbing materials. He
spoke for the poor men of the oouu
try, and in that connection had read
a petition from tile mechanics of
Massachusetts urging u tariff re
duction which would enable them
to build their own houses cheaper.
Mr. Carlisle, iu his first speech iu
the Senate, nave a striking practi
cal illustration of tbe burdens of
tbe present tariff. He says It Im
poses upon every man, woman and
child a tax of $10, of which $7 goes
into the pockets of manufacturers
in tbe form of enhanced prices aud
profits, aud $3 goes to tlie support
of the government.

The new legislature of Alabama
will have to elect a I'nited States
Senator to succeed Mr. Pugh, ami
the pros|>ect is for a lively scramble
for hia seat. Governor Thomas
Seay and ex-Goveruor Thomas H.
Watts are candidates, while Pugli
will stand for re-election.
Representatives of the various
Farmers’ Alliances of the State of
Illinois, in convention at Peoria,
have decided to establish a farmers’
agricultural implement manufac
tory. The object Is to manufacture
sort of farm implements aud sell
them to members of tlie union at a
tritle over tiie cost of production.
Hon. Henry G. Turner had liis
commission renewed at tbe Albany
convention Thursday—he was noni-
i nated by acclamation by the second
district convention. Hi* |ieopic
made a wise choice, and all Georgia
applauds their action.
It is announced from Washing-
Ism that Hon. J. C’. Clements, who
lias represented the Seventh dis
trict for the past ten years, will, at
the expiration of ins present 'erm,
move to Louisville, Ivy. He 1ms
been oliered a partnership in a
prominent legal firm iu tiiat city,
aud is assured of a lucrative prac
tice.
The dullest American mind can
understand Mr. Wells when he says
that "for every dollar that the Gov
ernment of the I'nited states ex
pends somebody must do a whole
day’s work.” The present corrupt
Congress means a good deal of work
for taxpayers.
Tlie Louisiana Congressmen are
tlie latest to receive tlie attention
of tlie Alliaucenien, ami they are
now applying the yard stick and
requesting a voice on the
propositions laid down by
that order. So far, those
who have compiled refuse to en
dorse tlie sub-treasury plan.
F.dltor McClure, of the Philadel
phia Times, for fear that Ids advice
might escape the attention of Con
gress, is printing it in large black
type. It is terse and lias a Crom
wellian sign to it: “Adjourn the
Humph Congress.” Congress cer
tainly could not do anything better.
lion. Geo. T. Barnes hns written
a letter to the Democrats gif tlie
Tenth district, in which he virtual
ly withdraws from tlie race for Con
gress. Watson has already enough
votes to nominate 1dm.
The increase shown bythecounty
returns of taxes to the Comptroller-
General’s office is something for
Georgians to be proud of. Although
only about one-third of tlie returns
are In, it Is evident the State will
show an Increase of 10 to 15 pereeut
over Inst year.
A Northern newspaper of an In
dependent way of thinking, says:
“The taritl' and the subsidy bills
work together harmoniously. Tlie
taritl'bill i- drawn tiiat American
ships may have nothing to carry,
and the subsidy bill pays them for
carrying it.”
A committee lias been sent from
Albany to Montezuma to purchase
tlie steamer plying between that
place and Warwick. Montezuma
lias given up tlie trade below there
on the Flint, owing to tlie building
of tlie Albany and Cordele railroad.
Although injured by drouth in
some sccoious, and too much rain
ill others, general crop reports from
over Georgia continue good, and it
Is now safe to say the harvest will
be equally as good, If not Letter,
than last year.
