It is certainly too early and also ab
surd to begin casting about now for a
man to lead tbe Democratic bosts in
tbe presidential battle of 19C4, because
the smoke and tbe wreck of tbe re.

WEEKLY, six months •! 501 whether elected or defeated bo would

| dency.
Tbe consensus of opiuion is that tbe
next Democratic nominee for President
will come either from New York or one
of tbe New Knglamt States, and that
be will be a man whose sound money
record is clear and who supported bis
party's ticket in the campaign of 1900.
This places firmer Secretary of State
Richard Oluey, ex-Seuator David B.
Hill, Hon.E.F. Shepard and other dis
tinguished gold Democrats on tbe list
of presidential possibilities. It is quite
probable, however, that if some strong
man comes to tbe front and carries Tuo
State of Now York by a largo ma
jority in the gubernatorial election to
be hold two years from now be will
get tbe nomination for the presidency.
It is as certain as anything can bo
that tbe poor showing which Richard
Oroker made as a State leader has de
posed him from that position and the
leadership of the party will fall upon
a much abler and better man, and the
present indications aro that man will
be David B. Hill, who made a hard and
sincere fight for Bryan in the upper
portion of the State. Mr. Hill is not
only a remarkably astute politician,
but he is strong with the conservative
classes, and should he again become
the leader of the New York Democracy
the chances are he will, if he so do
sires, bo nominated for governor in
1903.
All of this, however, is to be deter
mined by future events; but we do not
believe that it requires the eye of
prophet to see that the next Demo
cratic nominee will be a man who will
unite all elements of the Democracy,

AMEEICOS. GA„ NOT. 16. 1900.
To the Augusta Chronicle it looks
like General Evans would be his own
successor in Augusta.
So far neither Alger nor Eagan have
been mentioned in connection with
portfolios in the new cabinet.
The Nashville Amoncan proposes
that wo now “talk about Thanksgiv
ing turkey, cranberry sauce, and
other pleasant things.”
Gov-elect Sanford, of Alabama,
who has been so seriously ill continues
to improve, aud it is now hoped that
he will entirely recover.
Senator Bacon says, “I believe in re
organization whenever necessary; but
it should always originate with the
Isithful friends of the party."
New York is a practical town. The
Admiral Dowey arch is now nsed for
advertising patent medicines. They
would not bo so rude in Boston.
If the Georgia legislature really
wants a remedy for absenteeism why
doesn't it cut off the per diem of absen
tees for every day they remain away?
The news that tbero will bo no contest
ef the Kentucky election has probably
decided former Gov. Taylor to take up
his residence permanently in Indiana.
“The Daughters of the Confederacy
gladdencd Savannah by their presence
and did much good tor the cau‘o iu
which they aro engaged,” says tho Sav
annah Press.
It Bird S. Coler cun lead a successful
fight against “Boss" Croker iu Greater
New York nex' year bo will have a look
in at the presidential nomination in
1904. Mark the prediction.
The Washington Post thinks it
would be interesting to kuow just bow
muoh larger President McKinley 'a ma
jority would have beeu had lloosevelt
hot stumped New York.
Tho New York Journal arranged to
notify- New York of ibu election by
balloon,burning green tire in the event
of Bryan's succ ss. flic grecu bal
loons are still iu leash.
The Savaueah Press proposes that
the next state fair shall be held iu that
sity. It is evident that Macon must
“do about” if she shall regain the lug
agricultural show.—Macon News.
Tho Albany HeraUl rightly says that
firover Cleveland expects too much if
he hopes that ihe democra-ic party will
forget that he has twice refused to sup
port tbe party's nominee for president.
The probabilites aro that co.tou will
go higher, and probably just at a time
that will encourage enlarged acreage
for nest year. Let our farmers re
member that it is the moderate crop
that brings the big price.
We shall expect to hear now of the
immediate cessation of hostilities in
the Philippines. You know the na
tives were only fighting until they could
hear that Mr, McKinley was re-elect-
•d. Davy Crockett's coon was nothing
to the discretion which Aguinaldo has
been expected to exhibit in the event
ef democratic defeat.
If the Bepublican leaders do the pro
per thing they will graciously acknow
ledge their great obligation to Mr.
Richard Croker for ’the victory they
have won. It is to Croker that they
were indebted fur the insertion of
tho Free Silver plank iu the platform';
for tho vote of the New York delega
tion under Croker"s control;turned the
scale against David B. Hill and Hound
Money. It was Croker who prevented
tho nomination of Controller Coler for
the Governorship of New York and
thus paralyzed tho efforts of the Dem
ocracy of that Statu at the outsot of tho
campaign. Again, it wn« the deei
detestation aud dread of Croker in tho *
hearts of New York Democrats that re

A Wife Says:
We hv.v four children. With the first
three 1 s ji.crrd almost unbearable pains from
12 to It hours, and had to be placed under
the influence of chloroform. I used three
bottles of Mother’s Friend before our Iasi
child came, which
is a strong, fat and
healthy boy, doing
my housework up
to within two hours
of birth, and suf
fered but a few hard
pains. This lini
ment is the grand
est remedy ever
made.”
Mother’s
Friend
will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and dear intellect, which in
turn arc imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning tirlcnre, and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter ol
a few days. «*

FAILURE OF GRANT BROS.
Assignee Steadman Make* a Statement
of the Firm** Condition.
New York, Nov. 14.—E. O. Stead
man, assignee of tho firm of Grant Bros.,
stock brokers, gave out the following
statement today:
"The amount of assets aud liabilities
of the firm caunot bo stated until I have
had an opportunity to examine into its
affairs, and the schedules and on inven
tory has been prepared, nor can I state
the cause of the assignment beyond the
fact that the firm was indebted to an
amount greater thau it had the menus
to pay aud that the reason, therefore,
appears to be the recent discovery that
its resources had beeu depleted iu some
way, the particulars of which may be
definitely known ouly from thorough
examination of tho firm’s books.”
