Tbe following editorial fr >m tbe Al
bany Herald 1* fully endorsed by the
Waycroaa Herald. It is quite true we
have not and perhaps do not now, agree
with Editor McIntosh in his views on the
financial situation, especially in regard
to silver, but we do agree with him in
his idea of party fealty and Democratic
duty. We should right matters if they
are wrong, inside the party. Secession
failed once, and it will fail again. Let ns
stick to the paity, and the party is the
majority. Here is McIntosh's editorial:
There i« but one Democratic party in
this country, and that is the organiza
tion whose representatives duly elected
by the people, met at Chicago in nation
al convention last year and adopted a
platform and nominated a ticket. Thai
p’atform stauds as the foundation of the
Democratic party structure until another
has been made, and those who abandon
ed it' Iasi year and refused to ajide by
the declared will of the majority of the
party organization became independent
voters and disorganize!*.
Whenever a voter sets himself up as a
bigger mao or better man than his party
and refuses to abide by the decision of
the party he forfeits all right to the party
name and excludes himself from the
party councils and primaries. Such a
man, or such a voter, is more damaging
to any political organization than bis
vote is worth to it.
We now have an organization of gold-
bugs. mugwumps and Clevelandites, who
have gone ofl* to themselves and organ
ized what they are pleased to term the
“National” Democratic party. They
are no longer Democrats, however, and
have no right to apply the name of that
party to their organization. They ate
in open rebellion agaimt the party as
duly organized, and are entitled to no
more consideration at the bands of the
Deiuociatic party than those composing
other {Militicul party organizations which
do not pretend to be Democratic,
that is not for me is against me.”

August Belmont ud His Horse Manument.
August Bel mot has ordered a $5,900
statue of his horse, Htnry of Navarree.
This brands August Belmont, with all
hit millions, an ass and a fool. Five
thousand dollars would relieve for a
time certainly, the suffering of five hun
dred poor families in this country and
make many poor hungry children happy.
What good will a monument do a dead
horse? We repeat August Belmont is
an ass and a fool and on his account we
are sorry to hear the report that there

Havana, Cuba,-via Key West, July 19*
—The latest pioclamation by General
Msx'uno Gomez, commander-in-chief of
the Cuban forces, is as follows:
To the people of Cuba: God, country
and liberty! When the sound of the pa-
t iot’s cannon wa* heard for tl e second
time in the fields of Baire, when filled
with the valor which always springs
from the patriot's conviction* when he
looks for his sacred ideal—independence
for his native country—their hearts pal
pitating for the triumph of this generous
idea; the whole people of Cuba armed
themselves, it was cot in the hope of
achieving a radical autonomy, but it was.
with the belief in the ultimate triumph
of that idea and faith in the redemption
of our country.
Yesterday the Spaniards said we were
but a band of negroes and mulatoe*; in
cendiaries, murderers, bandits; violators
of women, our daughters and sisters. Ttf*
day the tyrant offers full autonomy,
Home Rule, which we reject. We ranch
prefer to build on the destroyed people
in bondage a free and honorable society,
And the sound of cannon! War is
made by war! And all this bellicose
power—where is it? The Autonominta
Party has fought seventeen years, and
what did they gain.* Nothiog. And
the patriots with arms in their hands,
shedding torrenis of pure blood, have
obtained in two years and mooths of
fighting tlie offer today ot autonomy like
that of Canada. What a contrast.
The triumph is ours; a few months re*
main before the power of Spanish gov
ernment will have terminated in Cuba.
Tba ranks of the army of liberation are
filling daily with the suffering Spanish
soldiers, who come to us convinced of
their error, and joining us to conquer
the liberty of a people in bondage.
People of Cuba, very soon our moth
ers, wives, daughters and sisters will re
ceive us in their arms, shedding flowers
in our path, and for the martyrs of our
independence wreathes laurels everlast
ing.

Constantinople, July 18.—-Tewfik
Pasha, the Turkish Minister of Foreign
Affairs, submitted to the peace confer
ence a new frontier scheme which was
unacceptable to the powers, and tbe Am
bassadors thereupon inffrmed Tewfik
that the conference would adjourn until
he should bring a written acceptance by
his government of the frontier line traced
by the military attaches.
It was arranged that the Turkish mili
tary commission should meet the Euro
pean military attaches at 9 o’clock yes

keep the appointment. Tewfik appeared
later and explained that the Sultan had
appointed Zeki Pasha and Saade Din

The persistency in their attempts to
outrage white women by negroes, is do
ing more than all other causes to bring
about a state of feeling and a condition
between the races that will result in jthe
utter ruin and eventual downfall of the
colored race in Georgia, if it is not
checked. The good negroes, and there
are many of them, will not be able to
check the terrible tide which will even
tually turn against the race. What can
be done to prevent outrage, stop lynch-
ings, and protect our good colored citi
zens, is a question yet unsolved.
