v I - V TIM KS-H KCOKDKK: KtHDAV JANUARY 7. 186 S. The report that Secretary i derail bis reirgnatloa to I’resi Kin ley, which seems to be very well Georsia’s politicians and statesmen ■ " from governor-down to legislators wil 1 be there, anil possibly one of her *etm- ■ tors will be on tiie scene of possum au<l substantiated, serves to accentuate the trouble within the republican party wdgrowiog out of Senator Wolcolt’i plaintjSgainst tire president. .The McKinley aijrainistrntioi: been enacting a double role and th embarrassment has come as the inevit able result of sueh a dubious policy. Wolcottand his associates were sent to Europo to negotiate in good fa th for an international bimetallic at range' ment. They proposed to Prance and to great Britain that with co-operation from those .governments the United States would reopen its mints to the free coinage of silver, resident Mo- Kinley related these faots in bis recent message to congress, expressing much satisfaction at the eneouragitfg atti- tnde of France and intimating that there Was yet hope of consummating the purpose,' despite Great Britain’i refusal to ooalesce. This very ill com' ported With the statements made by Secretary Gage before the House Com mittee on banking and currency and with the preamble to the bill- for cur rency reform which he prepared and cansed to bo introduced into.congress. Mr: Gage took the position that it was the purpose of the administration to more firmly estalish the gold standard M. Moline, the French Premier, who gave sttoh favorable audience to the Wolcott commission, and at whose direction the French j Ambassador at London joined the American commts-f eionersiu the proposal to the British Government, said m a speech before the French Chamber of Deputies that his government and that of the United States were "one on the question of bimetallism. ’’ He bad a right to think this, because of tbe representations made him by the accredited envoys of the United States government. Wbst, then, taust have been the surprise of M. Meline when be i^ad that the "American Minister of Finance" had actually introduced a bill in congress for the avowed purpose of further sub stantia ;ing the gold standard? Wolcott’s funions ontbreak brought Secreb ry Gage to understand that bis candid avowals had embarrassed the ^administration and he adopted the proper and the manly course when be offered to resign. Secretary Gage is not/4 practical politician. He could easily have avoided that apparent con flict by a more diplomatic statement, butsinco be created the trouble be ■honld furnish the remedy. The re fusal of the president to accept Secre tary Gtge’a resignation would seem to indicate that he intends to abide by the secretary’s position. It is a per fectly apparent fact, however, that Gage and Wolcott do not agree on the monejj question, and where they divid tho republican party is bound to divide eventually. It can’t continue to carry water on both shoulders. Secretary Gage would probably like to eaetpe the duties of the Treasury office and retire to his hank at Chicago There,doesn’t appear to be much fntnre glory in the position for him to reap. Congress is iu no mood to adopt bis measure of currency reform. Wolcott is not the only republican lea ler who is refractory. Mr. Gage accepted office with tbe idea that he conld put his views into practice, but he now realizes tbe impossibility of doing so. He sees that his administration of toe treasury office will be void of praotica! results aud he donbtjess feels a desire to with draw from the barren undertaking.— Nashville American. Senator Bacon wou’t'be at the New- nau ’jjos'um anppyr Friday night.. ed where there is 'possum. At least so thought the ‘committee Iu eeuding aronnd invitations, in the shuffle, as it were, Senator Bacon was overlooked If tbe oommittee hadn't taken such pains to invite all the piiblie men in tbe state the Senior Georgia senator might not have felt so keenly the "ov ersight. ” Bat even the small potato politicians were noticed while a United States senator was overlooked. The invitations to tbe 'possom sup per were sent out last week. They are cute little things, printed on rough brown paper with a profusion of 'pos sum heads as a border. The committee had over-six hundred of theca struck. It was night before last that Senator Bacon passed through Atlanta on his way to Washington. "Going to the 'possum supper, of course,” said a gentleman who happen ed to meet np with him. "Havn’tgotan invitation,” replied the senator. In considerably less than no time it was noised aronnd that one of tbe most prominent men in Georgia had been left ont of tbe great political’possn,m' gathering. ' Those who heard it were ever more surprised when they heard it was Senator Bacon who had been slighted. Why was it? they asked. Bnt tbe answer cometh not even yet. Some people, however, think they have fonnd a solntion of the enigma Id tbe fact that Governor Atkinson, who s known to be a great influence in the possnm feast, is a candidate for con’s sest in the senate, and be pc bly thought it good politics not to have bis opponent present at. the great sap per where the politicians of the state would be gathered. So it was not nntil after it was noised ■boat that Senator Bacon had been slighted that an invitation was finally, sent him. This was yesterday, a week after the other invitations had been sent ont. Of oonrse Senator Bacon being in Washington, would not get the invitation in time to attend now, even if he was inclined to do so, after being slighted. A gentleman who is identified with the coming feast explained that tbe invitations ran out before Senator Ba con’s name was reaehed, bnt it is known that over COO invitations wero printed and several gentlemen were given batches to give out to their friends. Among those who were supplied with invitations to hand ont, it is said, were the governor, his private secretary and Librarian Brown. Tbe papers were certainly right in saying that there would be a lot of politics mixed np in the Newnan 'pos snm sapper.—Atlanta Commercial.

Wai the ’possnm supper at Newnan last night a "fonoliou?’—Albany Herald. Evidently there is a typographical error in the above. Didn’t Editor McIntosh mean "drnnktion?” In the recent atrnggle of tbe Citizens and Liberal elnbs of Savannah before tbe legislstnre for the privilege of pass ing seversl local bills affecting the an tbority of the present mnnioipal body, it was charged by the Citizens olub that the mayor and couneil did not represent tbe organized democracy, bnt were elected and dominated by tbe negro voters of the oity.
