I have no want of appreciation of the honor done me in asking me to lead the IN pie’s party in the district, “For reasons purely personal it has far been simply impossible for mo make tho canvass of the district with the necessary and proper energy. It is an expensive business. It requires time and labor. Financially I have been un able to meet the necessity—my time has been absolutely required in looking after my own private affairs. “The result 0/the recent election has demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that there can possibly be not even a shadow of hope for the election of the people's party nominee in the Sixth district. My obligations to my family and myself command that I devote my energies to that service rather than waste them in the result of a campaign tho result of which is already unaltera bly iixed. “The issue to all intents and purposes between the democratic and tho people’s parties has been decided. It is perfect folly to make any other and greater sac rifice for it in Georgia. It would be un just to my family and to myself to con tinue the light. a withdrawing, I do so with the profound satisfaction that I have not said a word during the campaign that any honest, fair-minded man can say is vorthy a southern white man and gentleman. I do so with the satisfaction that I have made tho best fight in my power under the circumstances for the principles which I believe to bo right. I do so, also, with an abiding confidence that sooner or later, somehow, the wrongs of legislation which have griev ously injured the Southland will be righted. Tho people of Georgia liavo spoken and they declare in no uncertain terms that the People’s party movement in Georgia is an utter failure, and I bow to their decision, I shall not forsake ray convictions because they are defeated at the polls, but it seems to me, aftor hon est reflection, that it is worse than fool ish to remaiu in tho field when there is result possible but overwhelming de feat, especially in view of the fact that tho sacrifice I would be compelled to make is greater than I would ask of any man. “I am grateful to the friends who have loyally stood by me, and grateful also to my political foes, who have in tho main treated me with uniform fairness. My first and highest ambition is tho pros perity of my native state and her people aud in all I have said and done their good has been my inspiration. “If in tho future ray judgment becomes satisfied that in the democratic party is the hope of tho south, it shall liavo my cordial support. Very Respectfully, “Joskimi E. Potti.k.” TIIK LAST NAD KITES. London, Oct. 12.—The final services over the remains of Lord Tennyson curred at Westminster Abbey. They wero conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, many church dignitaries assisting. Tho people thronged the streets adja cent to the abhoy soon after daylight, and when the doors opened tho abbey was soon filled by a distinguished crowd. Mr. Gladstone was represented by lion. Arthur Littleton, tho Prince of Wales by General Probyn, of his house hold; the Duke of Edinburgh by his pri vate secretary, lion. Wm. James Coll ville; the Duke of York, heir presump tive, by Sir Francis Wintou, and tho British government by Hon. H. II. As quitli, home secretary. Walter Bosant and many other prominent men of letters wero present. At half past 12 o’clock appeared tho officiating clergy, then the coffin, which bore only wreaths contributed by the queen and members of the family. Tho pall was an ordinary union jack. It was borne oil tho right hand by Lord Salisbury, late premier, Earl Selberu, Loid Itoseberry, the minister of foreign affairs; Hoti. Arthur Kelvin WehJccky, the historian, and Henry Montague Buttler, 1) I)., the master of Ilurnitx college, Cambridge. On the left by the duke of Argyle, Karl Dufferin, Mr. Henry White, secre tary of the American legation; Sir James 'aget, Benjamin Jewett, master of Bal- liol college, Oxford, and James Anthony Fronde, tho historian. Immediately behind tho coffin walked tho poet’s son, Hallem Tennyson, with his wife and children, and some intimate friends of the family. Tho procession passed through the cloisters and nave to the altar, where the coffin was placed upon trestles and the religious ceremony was conducted, the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating, assisted by tho dean and canons. Among the many Americans present during the services, were Edwin H. Ter rell, American minister to the Nether lands, ex-Senator Georgo Edmunds, of Vermont, and Major Poat, of the Amer ican legation, Sonator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, Dr. Nevin, lately resi dent in Rome, and Mr. Carnegie; Joseph Choate, representing Harvard college, Mr. Emerson, of Boston, nephew of tho late Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Mrs, White, tho wife of tho secretary of the American legation. Moved Into New Qu»rter*. Rogers it Wilder, proprietors of the Racket Store, were busily engaged yos- terday, removing*ihoir immense stock of goods from their former quarters la the Watts building to the large store in tho Byno block recently vneatod by Aaron Coben. This enterprising firm has built up & fine business since coming to Americus. Two years ago they started businoss in a vory small room in the Hart building, but by careful attention to the wants of their customers, together with a judl- judicious use of printer’s ink, they have extended their trade until uow they 00- cupy one of tho most commodious store houses in the city and have it packed from tloor to ceiling with new and sea sonable goods, with customers galore. There is a lino moral in this story which other merchants in Americus would do well to hunt out aud ponder over. The Circus Is Coming. Forepaugh’s big circus will exhibit In this city on tho 21st Inst., which is just ono week from tomorrow, and as this is the first sure enough circus that has vis ited Americus in several years, there will bo a vast crowd here on that day “to see the elephant.” The good little Sunday school scholars will bo in demand on that day among their faithful teachers, who always go with them to see tho animals, you know, and it is a serioys question whether or not tho supply of these will be equal to the demand. The circus will pitch its tents in the big field just beyond the ice factory, at the foot of Plum streot, as that is the only vacant lot about Americas large enough for the grand aggregation and monster concatenation of woild’s ’ tiers. The place is very accessible for the circus people, as a spur track from the Central railroad runs right through the grounds. Sumter Net the Pace. The Amkricus Times-Rkcordkr claims that tho great tidal wave started in old Sumter when tho Flambeau Bri gade was organised. Well, It sure did get a good start and keep it.”—Macon Nows. That’s right Brother Moore, and Sum- r will keep the paco sho has set until every third party renegade in Georgia, from Tom Watson down, Is buried to deep under an avalanche of democratic ballots that the toot of Gabriel’s trumpet will be needed to wake them. Keep your eye on old Sumter and her Flam beau Brigade whenever an emergency, like that of October 5th, arises. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS FORTY THOUSAND MEN IN THE PA RADE YESTERDAY. L merlon—T« l.irliiB Airs— lew York’s £ > If mid re«l linn Nku York, Oct. 12.—Today was tin anniversary day, tho proper legal boll day, ami one that will loug be remem bered. With the rising of tho sun there was guniiiiug at the battery and other points in the city. Flags were hoisted at the battery and at tho Old Fort in Central park. Church bells were rung, and it was more like an old fashioned Fourth of July than anything ever seen iu New York. The military parade started soon after 10 o’clock under tho command of Gen. Martin T. McMahon. Tho line of march was from the bat. tery up Broadway to Fourth street, around Washington square to Fifth ave nue, tlienco to Fourteenth street, to Fourth avenue, to Seventeenth streot to Fifth avenue, and at Fifty-ninth street tho signal was given to disband. is estimated that over 515,000 were in line and it was tho greatest military parade ever witnessed in America. Soldiers of all sorts participated. Over six thousand militiamen from the neigh boring states wero in lino. There was a regiment of cavalry ludian soldiers, and tho G. A. 11 neat thousands of men. Tho Atlanta Gate City Guard wero as bright a body of soldiers as ono would wish to see. They liavo been having a splendid time, and made themselves prime favorites as gentlemen of tho first wafer. Thoro was not standing room after ten o’clock anywhere on the line of march, and fabulous prices wero paid for win dow and balcony seats. Militia came in by the thousands from the adjacent states, and fire companies in uniform. A pretty sight was the landing of 300 men from war ships who participated in the parade, together witli two thousand regular soldiers, West Point cadets, United States artillory, Now York Naval brigado and State Guard. The weather was fine, tho decorations profuse and boautiful, and everything tended to make tho Columbian military parade a grand success. Among those who viewed the proceed ings from different points along tho route wore Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. George B. McClellan; Secretaries Foster, of the stato and treasury; Secre taries Noble and Rusk, Italian Minister, Baron Fava, who of right has been a leading and interested spectator of tho honor paid Ids countryman; tho Turkish minister and many others.

The caboose on tho local was smashed, but was fortunately without occupants, though a few minutes before tho crash a number of drummers had been in it. They, however, jumped from tho caboose In time. Will Vote With Their Frlfcml*. A prominent aliianceman, in discuss ing the political situation witii a number of brother farmers at the Alliance ware house yesterday, said: “I do not be lieve there will be twenty-livo white men in Sumter county who will vote tho third party ticket in the November election. They see now that .their party is a dead issue, and they arc not going to do any thing to foist Harrison upon the country for another term. They see, too, that their only hope for relief is in the demo cratic party, and I firmly believe that nine-tenths of them will vote tho straight ticket on tho 8th of November.” JEFF D.

Watson’s speech was a iepetitlon of former ones, full of inaccuiaeicfl and misstatements. lie lias made no converts for the third party. Moses, in a two hours’ speech full of good, sound democratic talk, has answered Watson to the satisfai tion of the voters of this county. It is believed that a number of converts will show up at the Novembor election. Watson was charged by some one from the large crowd of being a paid worker for the third party, which was promptly denied by Moses, saying that lie hollered Watson to bo the only honest third party leader that he knew of. When some one from the large plat form gave tho “lie,” Moses said he’d see him .*ftcr the speech. Guile a commotion followed, and It looked as though there would be serious trouble, when friends interfered and quiated the matter down. Put Troup down stronger than before for democracy.

Instead of filling up the old 25c Water Bucket he would fill up the new $1.25 Water Cooler —empty the 45c Waste Basket, see that the 10 and 25c Cuspidores were all right; fill the Inkstands whether they were 20c glass ones or $1.50 fancy ones—then put envelopes aud bill beans in their special 50o Tin Boxes, Then he would fill the fine $1.75 Banner Office Lamp and tho large $4.00 Swinging Store Lamp This woudenui office boy used the B. A B. goods because they were the beat and because tho Selling Out Prices made them the cheapest—consequently he kept the office clean—clean out of sight—in the meanwhile, Butler A Berry kept up their Selling Out Sale and the office boy didn’t die and go to heaven as the usual novel requires—he wouldn’t go,simply because he couldn't get a coffin at a Selling Out ’rice at the Artesian Corner of Butler A Bebby of Americus.
