After all the elections are through

the reflection that they are with the
great majority.
It would he a big thiug for the
Democratic party if Congress would
give us a tariff bill this week. Iu
fact, it would be equal to “splicing
the main brace.”

If all the other Americana who

President Cleveland has faithfully

BICH DEBATE 15 PEARCE COUNTY.
A Populist Chairman Derides in Favor
of Ilemoerary.
I5y grapevine telegram the Herald is
in possession of the following account
of a debate, which occurred in Pierce i
county recently;
The populists had a meeting for the
purpose of discussing politics, a popnlist j
chairman was chosen, and the subject j
announced was this: ‘‘Which of the I
two parties, populist or democratic is the j
best for the people?” Sides were chosen j
and the arguments commenced. The
debutants were all populists, but those |
on the democratic side put in their best j
licks for the old party and stated the I
facts in the case as they actually exist.
The jiopulist* made , rip roaring <
speeches and did their big best to tear 1
the old party into doll-rags. In this, i
however they ignoramiously failed. The :
chairman decided that the arguments {
for democracy were the best and relegat
ed the third party speakers to the rear.
We would call this a clear case of being
butchered in the house of friends. And
this will be the case with all our third
party friends, when they discuss the
case dispassionately and frCelv, the de
cision will be in favor of pure democracy,
and eventually our populist Triends will
all come back into the fold. So mote it
be.
IN THE TaNCTUMS.
Dick Grubb knows where he “is
aj.” He says: *>The Gazette is for
Grover Cleveland, Bill Atkinson, the
old flag and another appropriation
for the port of Darien.
The Albany Herald says : A par
agraph is going the rounds of the
South Georgia papers quoting Presi
dent Cleveland as saying that Hon.
H. G. Turner is the ablest man in
Congress. We don’t much believe
the President said it, for lie is too
discreet a man to have said it even if
he thought it; but it is just as true
as if he had said it.
The Ifawkinsville canniug factory
is doing a big business, says the
Hawkinsville News.
It’s high time now for all you
stragglers from the ranks of demo
cracy to get back in the column.
The procession is moving and the
party is all right. Don’t get left.
There isn’t a democrat in Georgia
who has a cleaner democratic record
that Ben Bussell. He is a democrat
of democrats. And efforts to smirch
his democracy will fail. No man in
Georgia has worked harder for the
party. He has always been in the
front of every fight.—Thomasville
Times.

They say Amus Keeter is making
Waycross headquarters just now, and he
gives a music-ale every night. He never
fails to present his little bill, either.
Way cross has the most periect system
of drainage of and city in iSoutli Geor

dollars to the town every year.
If you will take a stand some day on
Plant avenue and watch the immense

arrive at the conclusion, as well as I did,
that a street car line would be a paying

some of our capitalists take hold of this
enterprise ? ,
