One political prophet has gone far
enough to say Bryan can’t carry his
own city, McKinley will lose Ohio,

Sewall swamped in Maine, and Hobart
knocked out in New Jersey.
'II KSAHAW.
We expressed a hope that our popu
list friends would get their consent to
vote with us in the coming State and
county election, and believe that many
of them will; but they have nominated
a full set of caudidates from all parties,
espoused the cause of prohibition, and
are preparing to contest every place;
and such lessons in morals and temper
ance as we are receiving iu resolutions,
through the press and on the stump,
we uever expected to hear from such a
source. When did they reform; and
how do they know it to he genuine?
Moral lecturing is all right, aud we
ought to be temperate, but would pre
fer being instructed by true reformers.
I like to see people leave off their
bad tricks, and especially immoral
ways, but would think it more consist
ent if our good friends would try their
own powers of endurance before be
coming so bold in reproof, or scattering
in duiiuuciatiou. Sometimes simple re
formation does meat good anyhow.
Sometimes we see men drink and
sell liquor as long as they can, make
all the money they cau out of it, aud
when circumstances or an outraged
public compel them to stop, they are
the loudest mouthed temperance and
the strongest prohibition people in all
the land; but would we not be afraid
to give them the opportunity of their
old tricks agamr
But if you will remember we had
prohibition enacted in Henry county
about thirteen or more yeais ago—a
very strong bill—ratified by the people,
which settled and took the matter out
of politics in our county, and why res
urrect it now? \N hat motive can
there b ? Is there auy good reason
for trying to inject it into our politics
now? \Y lieu local option was enacted
for the state, it was we think conceded
to be the best thing possible to be done
Every place and thing is iucorparated
and many counties and corporations are
just now availing themselves of its pro
visions, and likely all will soon do so,
and is that not ahout as good, or as
near prohibition, as we cau have in our
state? or are we prepared and auxious
to see the State assume the responsi
bility, aud engage in the liquor traffic.
But we are not discussing local option,
prohibition, or the bush Bill, but wish
to ask if an holiest, prouounced demo
crat is not as good aud worthy to be
voted for as those of any kind to bt
picked up around any camp. Mr.
\\ right say Bhe >s not a populist, bu
an iude| eudent prohibition democrat
(if you know what that is) Dr. Gam
brel a piohibitionist aud most of the
candidates and present leaders of the
people's party are just taken in on their
part to try and get office, aud the old
leaders aud middle of the road men
left cut. What can we thiuk of a mau,
and what ought good populists think
of a msD, who perhaps went into a
primary or nomination, but sees a
chance to carry with him a few demo
crats or a few republicans, if he can
get endorsement of the populist’s and
get into office, could tt beuefit or
strengthen their party? where will they
be next time?
L-t us think on these things, but
get good oi l honest silver resore 1 to
ber place us >ure enough rnouey.

The death of Willie Fargasou is a
sad wanting to us young people who
survive him. Only a short time ago
he was well aud enjoying health, hut
now lie lies in the cold aud silent tomb,

that the young men die as well as the

A Card.
Locust Grove, Ga., Aug. 31, ’9O.
To the Voters of Henry Couuty.
Gentlemen:—lt may not he general
ly kuowu that 1 am the nominee of the
Peoples Party of Henry county for the
office of Coroner. Therefore 1 ask
The Henry County Weekly, for
a small space to say a few words to
you soliciting your support at the Oc
tober electiou for couuty officers iu my
favor. 1 have no better claims for of
fice at your hands than many other
persons, no better thau my respected
opponent, who is a worthy gentleman,
hut the geueral verdict is that a man
should not hold office always—give
some other one a chance.
The phrase, that a man should not
••homestead an offee,” or that we don’t
go to “grave yards lor officers,” is iu
the language of “Earutst Willie” men
“ Slang.”
1 am the oldest man that has ever
been a candidate iu llenry county, or
or the oldest I ever knew to be; but a
mau is never too old to hold office when
capable lo discharge the duties of that
office
If I live to see the fourth day of uext
March 1 will have seeu the iuuugtira
tiou day of twenty Presidents. That
is a long time to keep sober, but 1 don’t
begrudge the time.
1 am not a tetotal abstainer, but 1
am tor temperance. I (lou’t cousider
myself above the degree of mediocrity
of mankind, but I do claim to be on the
hue of respectability, and expect to get
a respectable vote, aud be elected by a
respectable vote. I will not use any
“cuss” words, mouey or whisky, nor
auy other undue iutlueuce; neither do
1 permit anv oue to use auy such iu
llueuce for me.
I would cousider if I was elected un
der such as the above influence 1 would
be dishonestly elected; or, if 1 was uot
successful iu my electiou by such in
fluence, I would be dishonorably beaten.
>o then, I would prefer to be honora
bly beaten thau dishonorably elected.
Now tbtu, 1 don’t think it necessary to
canvass the county; a great majority of
the people know me, know what I am.
1 may take a tour of the couuty
the latter part of Sep ember.
I am looking forward for you to elect
me, aud if you want a good coroner
vote for your uncle Bon Sandikkk.

home near this place Thursday, 27th

ago, aud lived a consistent member
since that time. He was a good hoy,
ohedieti’ to his parents, always ready
to obey them iu anything and at all
times. < laud has now gone to reap
his reward. What more could we say
of this good brother? We would say
to this dear family grieve not.

The readi rs of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s (-atarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength fiy building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its cuntive powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
