ROOSEVELT'S NOMINATION.
The nomination of Theodore Roose
velt as the republican candidate for
EOTernor of New York has been assur
ed ever since the Rough Riders return
ed home from Cuba. Plait was against
him, and may be still for that matter,
the machine waa against him, bnt pop
ular sentiment demanded in no un
certain tones this recognition of his
gallantry, courage and willingness to
inee death for the glory of his conntry,
and Platt was by odds too knowing a
man not to fall in, too.
Whether he will be elected is another
question. It depends very largely who
the democrats nominate and also the
nature of their platform. If it is con
fined strictly to state issnes, a vigorous
condemnation of the outrageous Black-
Xiou Payn-canal fraud methods and a
diplomatic silence on national issues,
so as to secure the votes of both gold
"and silver democrats, and if their nom
inee is a man who inspires public con
fidence, they have a good chance to
defeat the Colonel.
Of-course, Roosevelt wants to be
president, bnt as vet ho is too young,
too erratic, too impetaons, too faulty in
judgement to hope to attain that great
place. His election as governor of
New York, however, if the fates so will
that he shall be elected, will be a long
stride in that direction. At any rate
he race for governor in New York will
not lack in picturesqueness and will
engage the attention and interest of
the people of the country.—Nashville

FIXING THE BLAME.
President Lincoln’s jokes, especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grave matters, nsually had a purpose
in them. After Lee bad taken Harper’s
Ferry the president, realizing how
great a calamity it was to the northern
arms, determined, if possible, to fix the
responsibility for the loss of that im
portant position, says the Manchester
(EDg.) Courier.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay, “Very
well,” saidj.Lincoln, “I’ll ask Gen.
Schenck.” The latter could throw no
light npon the question, farther than
to Bay he was not to blamo. Milroy
was the next to be called to the pres
ence of the commander-in-chief, and
to enter a plea of,“not guilty.” Hool-or
was next given a hearing, and Fight
ing Joe made a very emphatic disclaim
er of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled the four
generals in Us room and said to them:
"Gjutlemen, Harper’s Ferry was sur
rendered and none of yon, it seems, is
responsible. I am very uuxiuus to-
discover the man who is.” After strid
ing across the room several times the
president suddenly threw up his bowed
head and exclaimed, “I have it; I
know who is responsible.”
“Who, Mr. President, who is it?"
asked the distinguished quartet, as
they looked anxious, if not troubled.
“Gentlemen,” said tho president,
with a meaning twinkle in his eye,
“Gen. Lee is the man.”
There was a lack of mirth in tho
laagh created, and the four generals
took their departure with a determi
nation that they would not again be
placed nnder suspicion.
THE IMMUNE NONSENSE.
Maj. William H. Daly, an eminent
surgeon of the United States army
and'a member of Gen. Miles’ staff, is
making a tour of the southern camps
to select the soldiers which ate to be
sent to Havana and other parts of
Cnba. He went through the Porto
Rican campaign, and is thoroughly ac
quainted with tho climate, conditions,
etc., and had a slight attack of fever
himself.
Maj. Daly gives the immnnos a black
eye. He says:
“Take, for instance, our colored regi
ments. They were said to be immune
from yellow fever, etc. The fnet is
tha 1 more of the supposed immune*
died while at the front from fever than
among the other troops.”
The fact is that the so-called im
mune regiments are humbngs so far as
being less liable to have fevers and
other diseases of the tropics,—Romo

MB’. duBIGNON’S STATEMENT.
The Atlanta Jonrnal, dominated of
course by Hoke Smith, used all means
possible to prevent Mr. dnBignon’s
election as chairman of the state exec
utive committee, and it is no wonder
that this great, virtuous democratic
daily should begin it’s mudslinging
methods against Chairman duRignon’s
campaign policy. Chairman dnBignon
has made a vigorous and aggressive
fight for democracy, giving his entire
time to the work, and any criticism
npon his record now seems nntimely
and nnjnst. Mr. dnBignon has been
in the hottest of the fight, making a
vast number of speeches throughout
the state—of course at a great personal
sacrifice.
Mr. dnBignon is a man who does
not mince matters. His record and
services as chairman of the executive
committee will be appreciated and en
dorsed by every honest and unselfish
democrat in the state. As regards the
Journal’s recent criticism npon the
form of the state ticket Chairman du-
Bignon says:
“I have nothing more to say on the
subject. My letter addressod to the
chairman of each county committee on
September 15th speaks fbr itself. I
intended to leave the mutter entirely
to the sentiment of tho party in each
and every county, withont dictation,
or intimation of my own views.”
In justice to the state committee,
Chairman dnBignon has made this let
ter pnblio. It reads as follows:
■ Atlanta, September 15th.
Honorable Chairman Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
Dear Sir—I inclose you form of the
democratic state ticket to be voted in
the approaching October eleotiou. By
resolution of the state committee at its
laBt meeting it was determined that
each county would be required, through
its local committee or the local candi
dates in each county, to furnish its
own tickets, the state committee un
dertaking only to furnish the form of
the ticket. You will oi>»»rve that on
this form there is a apace for a vote
either for or against the proposed con
stitutional amendment. It was sug
gested that inasmuch as this proposed
amendment to the constitution was a
democratic measure, that the ticket
should provide only for a vote in favor
Of the amendment; but while it is true
that the amendment is proposed by a
democratic legislature, there may be
many democrats who are opposed to
the amendment, and for this reason I
prefer that each local county committee
should determine for itself whether in
printing the tickets they will print
both for and against the proposed
amendment. In other words, if in
your county their is no considerable
sentiment against the proposed amend
ment it would not affect the legality of
tho ticket to leave off the space for
vote against ratification. In other
words, it wonld be a legal ticket with
only the words “for ratification” of
the proposed amendment of tho con
stitution.
I request, therefore, before you have
the tickets printed that you confer
with the members of your local com
mittee and through them consult the
party in your county, nnd act accord
ingly in putting on or leaving off
"against ratification” of the proposed
amendment. I trust that yon will confer
with all of the democratic candidates
in your connty at once and have an
ample nnmber of tickets printed with
out delay, so that they may be dis
tributed throughout your county suit
get into the bands of nil democrats.
Very truly yours,
F. G. DtiBrr.NON,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee.
BIG NEWS.
The newspaper reader is not depen
dent upon local happenings alone for
interesting reading. There is big news
going notv, and almost every day there
is a fresh installment of it—not news
whioh affects a small community, not
the embezzlement of a county trustee,
nor the elopement of the village beauty
with a circus man, but happenings
which may change the destinies and
history of millions of people. No
sooner does our war with Spain come
to a close, altering the status quo in
in the Western hemisphere and an
nouncing the birth of a new world
power, than there comes Kitchener’s
advance up the Nile, the fall of Om-
durman, and the destruction of the
rnle of the fanatic in upper Eygpt.
"From Cairo to the Cope” is now
possibility, with tho English in con
trol of the great continent of Africa.
The Czar contributes his share to the
world’s gossip by his proposal, and if
carried into effect this means literally
turning the sword into tho plowshare
and the conversion of monster battle
ships into carriers of potatoes and corn
and bacon—common tramp ships,
France keeps mankind ut unrest con
cerning her fickle course, and when
the Frenchman awakes each morning
it is to inqnire whether an Orleuuist, a
Bonaparte or a second Boulanger rules,
or whether Germany’s army has been
mobilized and a regiment of Uhlans is
ou tho way to the gates of Paris. Our
peace commission is now sitting in Par
is, considering the fate of 10,000,000
Filipinos; there is a new congress to be
elected in America; other matters of in
ternational importanco too numerous
to mention are keeping the pnlse of
the people beating at a farious pace.
It is a day of big news and no mistake.

Mn. James G. Stevenson, of Chicago,
editor of the Individual of that city,
has been on Sapelo island, off the coast
of Georgia, perfecting plans for a col
ony which he intends to settle there
during the early fall.
The Houston (Ga) Journal ventures
the prediction that the populist state
ticket next Weduetdav will be the last
of that sort to be voted in Georgia.
Gen. Joe Wheeled has accepted as
invitation to deliver an address before
an Atlanta audience for the benefit of
the Atlanta Relief Association.
The latest map issued by the Geor
gia railroad commission shows that
there are now G4 railroads in this state,
with a total mileage of 5,374,82.
The government has ordered 4,000
volunteers now at San Francisco to
Manila, and this will bring the force
at the Philippines to 29,000 men. As
St,500 a man per year is the estimated
cost of oar troops in foreign service,
this Manila army will cost 830,000,000;
the 12 500 assigned to Porto Bico wili
cost 818,750,000, and the 00,000 to Cuba
$!>0,0o0,000-or in all for the three pro
posed colonies the military occupation
will cost for the first year 8138,730,000.
And this is not all, for the civil admin-
stration will mount np to a pretty fig
ure. As ex-Seuator Edmunds remark
ed, we are paying pretty dear for onr

Hobson may be stopped by a girl of
the period, but he certainly asks no
odds of tho Colon.
If Hanna says for Alger to go the
name of the secretary of war is bound

pimple or scratch has developed into
tho most malignant Cuncer.
