This being In*, wa lew *ooe good, cooscientioa* voter* who are de sirous of canting their influence against bar-rooms, will be ensnared, and intend of helping the caase, will rote really with the “wet'’aide. The third party candidate and his fol lower* hare not the ^lightest hope of success, and every temperance advocate bo vote* that ticket cast* his vote in favor of Ben Birmans and bar-rooms. The Rev. Davis, il he votes for him self, will be casting his influence iwith the whiskey men. It woo Id be well for brothers Davis, Morton and other “dry” third party men to. think of this before they vote. Will they do it ? FOR GOVERNOR: HO*. W. J. 50STHE5. FOR CONGRESS : IIOX. M. «. TTRXER. Wednesday the 5th, is election day in Georgia. No canes of cholera in New York city since the 19th. Ex-Judge A. Pratt Adams died in Havannsh on the 25th alter a brief ill- Pnf. Patrick Gilmore, of the cele brated Gilmore's InumI, died in St. I/mis Saturday. * Governor Northen ami the entire *tate democratic ticket will lie elected next Wednesday by at least 40,000 majority. Mr. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance is too fine a document to divide honors this week with the temperance cause, will appear next week. Mr. D. Irwin, chairman of the state committee of the People's Party, put his foot in it when he arraigned the govern or of Georgia for inciting the democrats to a disturbance of Gen. Weaver’s pro posed meeting in Atlanta. 1 "resident Harrison has issue^ a proc lamation appointing Friday, the 21st of October, aa a general holiday for the* people of the United State*, it being the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. Ross Buck’s manifesto to the republi cans of the state to vote the people’) party iicket will have the effect of bring ing many Georgia democrats back into the rank* of their old party, and some of hiaown party will vote for Governor Northen, regardless of it. Weaver ami Lease are having a quiet time in North Carolina. Thaddeus E. Horton, who came into fame on the Pulaski affidavits, is still a self constitu ted member of the combine and daily wavea his trophies under the discomfited countenance of the presidential candi date. And Dr. Pickett got an uncomplimen tary quietus from Col. Hobh* when he made hb demand for third party repre sentatives among the managers at (he poll. Col. Hobbn very properly informed him that that matter was in the hands of the county officials, and as for him self he would not confer with Dr. Pickett until that gentleman could make a bet ter record for himself. Waycross has been built up and proa* pend aaa dry town and should not now be cursed and stunted in its growth fay faur-rooms, It b essentially a railroad towp with important railroad interests now located here and others in contem plation. Whiskey disorganises and de- moralises labor, and we are not surprised to learn that in this contest the prohibi tion side has the good wixhc* of the offi- ciabof the railroads centering in Way- cross. Other industries are springing up and should be protected. Every good ritisru of town and country, white and colored, who favors sobriety, peace, pros perity and happy homes, sad who would not have our people taxed for increased expenses of the jail and courts shunld vote for Ool Wilson. i the little city by the sea last Tuesday and for few hour* Newcastle and other streets, lay under three fleet of water. Much damage was dona to merchandise^ the street-car tracks and the shell boulevard. While the injury to property b deplored Mayor Ooboo considers that much bene fit will accrue to the city from the cleans ing of the streets and sewers. We are in favor of the city directory. It will enable the Herald to find out the abode of some of our chronically de linquent subscribers, and the unfortunate Herald boy who carries around bills will know “where he is sL” THAT PRESS MAX. "The third party managers were wise, Mr. Wearer, in hiding you out nt Way- cross to begin with. They ought to have kept your speech-making confined to Box-Ankle, Beaver Dam, Jug Tavern, and Buzzards' Roost—Savannah Press. We have never wended our way to Jug Threra, nor sought rest in Buziardf Root, therefore the Savannah Press man haa the advantage of ns. The /V» man must have been unduly under the influence of the first, yet reesvered from the soporific influen ces of the second when he turned his inverted telescope on Waycross, the Magic City and the pride of Wiregrass Georgia. The From man, althoogh he acknowl edges to being present during General Weaver’s speech in Waycrom, where hundred and seventy-five good demo crats were assembled—the other twenty- five in the audience teing third party men-congratulates Mr. Weaver’s friends on thus “hiding him out in Waycross,’ obscure little hamlet, like to “Box-Ankle, Bearer Dam, Jug Tavern and Buzzards Roost." It b not necessary to discuss the size of Waycrom as seen through the vision of the /Vow man, for many men, especi ally newspaper reporters in election times, have devious optics, but we would kindly, remembering his evidently frail nature, point out a little inconsistency in hb writings. On the 23th he says it would bare been to the advantage of the thinl party to have kept Mr. Weaver in obscure towns like Waycross. Then on the 28th he tells us that the third party will get a jMilitical lift through Mr. Weaver’s visits to Macon, Atlanta, etc., due to the rough treatment be received there and the capital he will make out of it in the North and West. He is placed in the rather peculiar position of affirming that whether Mr. Weaver went to small towns or large cities hb, the third party, got the ben efit. Rut however small Waycross may ap pear to the eyes of the Savannah Press r good citizens are satisfied wjth her record m the Weaver matter. Way crom, insignificant as the Press man would make her out, enjoy* the distinc tion of being the one town in Georgia to accord her political foes a quiet, respect ful hearing. Tommy—Can w« play at keeping store in here, mamma t Mamma (who lias a. headache)—Certainly, but you must keep very quiet. Tommy—Well, •’ll pretend we don’t advertise.—Bran don Bucksaw. - Surely that man who b the father of those bright boys will not vote for bar- %. For the sake of bb children he will cast hb vote for temperance. PROCEEDINGS of COUNCIL. City council met in response to the call of thcjsiayor at 8 o’clock p. ai. Hb honor the mayor presiding.

A Urge and Jenthusiastic meeting was held at the Opera house on Thursday night the 22d presided over by Hon. Warren Loti The dirine blessing was invoked by Rev. J. M. Marshall when Judge J. L. Sweat was Introduced and ably discussed the pending issues. He explained that in view of the position he held he had refrained from speaking up on mere political questions but that the proprieties did not require him to keep quiet in thb matter which rose above party politics and vitally affected the morab, good order, peace and tranquility of the community. He showed how the issue to bring bar-rooms back into Way crom and Ware county had been made the controlling question in the election fora representative and could only be suecesfully met and defeated by the elec-' tioo of CoL Leon A. Wilson, the temper ance candidate. He then gave the focta and figures showing that Waycrom had been more prosperous as a dry town than any other town or city in the state; that large numbers of our best citizens had investments here k and school ad- of bar-rooms, and to maintain our enviable position and continue our ouwanl growth, the blighting cone of liquor traffic should be kept from our midst. That while some liquor was bought and drank here, the quantity and. eyib resulting therefrom were small compared to what it would be if we had bar-rooms, and while its use Herschkovitz Bros, n ^ stow.
