The Survival of the Fittest.
W AY N ICS HO HO. GA.. OCTOBER 20, 1891.
For Congress 1st Congressional District:
HON. RUFUS E. LESTER.
Georgia will in all probability
furnish the next mayor of New
York City.
Our friends among the Populists
crying fraud are so silent about
such votes as Lincoln and C >lum-
bia counties exhibit that the silence
can be felt with the eyes shut.
Da ldy Stewart, senator from Ne
vada, had better luck that. Brecken-
ridge in hushing up the prattle of
the sportive maiden who attempted
to lead lus bouyant affections
crooked.
Editor Cockerill, the “Kunnei” of
the New York Morning Advertiser,
has shipped his slush pot of south
ern slander to Colorado carefully
wrapt in flannel to keep it ready
for use. lie follows in good time
to grow up with the silver barrons.
The Indiana supreme court has
ruled that a man can not steal from
his wife. Then of course a wife can
not steal from her husband and she
may now go through his pockets ac
cording to ancient customs with
impunity, while she seeks for
change and her unmailed letters.
The Populists are crying out for
fair elections, and in all their cries
they 7 do not speak once of stealing
the tax books of McDuffie county
and the dishonest vote of Columbia
and Lincoln counties. Now dear
Populist friends what are you going
to do about it? Perhaps before the
contests are ended in the legisla
ture you will hear of this several
times.
There are some “short haired”
women of New York city trying to
imitate in a weak way the women
of Breckenridge’s district in their
fight on tbG old fellow who was led
off by Madeline. As the women of
Kentucky had a cause, it is not ex
pected that a lot of cranks and en
thusiasts will succeed the same
way in their attacks on Tammany
because a lot of thieves have been
found among the police. The law
as it stands is sufficient to meet the
cases of the thieves, and it is rather
a poor dodge of Republican fanatics
to try to down the Democratic par
ty in New York city to please
Parkhurst, a Republican fanatic
himself.
In the East we have ,T. B. Reed
for the Republican presidential
nomination. In the West we have
McKinley and Harrison. Reed
wants the Democrats kept out of
office because they 7 will keep up
the fight on the tariff issues instead
of allowing the country 7 peace. In
the West McKinley is for more war
upsetting ali the Democratic work
and re-instating his tariff bill. Har-
rrson is talkingslush to the poor man
as if Republicans ever did favor the
poor. Now which one will get the
nomination? But John Sherman,
who always has his weather eye
on the presidency, has made a
speech at Akron, Ohio, right behind
McKinley and he comes out plainly
for a reduced tariff. “Them three
fellers” better watch John Sher
man.
McKinley goes out West and
makes speeches so often in a day
that he smashes Harrison’s record
for “rear platform” oratory. In
their magnificent and beautifully
upholstered palace cars they talk
slush about the oppressed poor in
the most eloquent hypocricy, con
veniently forgetting that all this
trouble was brought upon the peo
ple by the infamous measures forced
upon them by Republican protec
tion to soulless corporations and
merciless monopolies. Reed of
Maine, to be even in the race for
office, winds up his nose and sets it
going before a New York constituen
cy 7 , in which he sidetracks the issues
that made the Republican party in
famous and tries to save the robbers
by abuse of Democrats with studied
phrases framed in sarcasm. The
three make a nice little batch of
aspirants crying “stop thief.”
New York politics are interesting
to us all. When Bragg said he
loved Cleveland for the enemies he
had made the expression found
favor everywhere. If the same
could be said of Hill he would find
himself suddenly very beloved if
the love held out in proportion to
the enemies that have turned up.
In regard to Morton itshould hap
pen at once that an exploring ex
pedition should be fitted out to dis
cover the north pole, but its pur
pose should be diverted to a task
equally as difficult, viz: the discov
ery of what Morton has ever done
exrept the bar’J.
In regard to the Republicans in
New York state if they should com
bine with the Populists, as was
done in Georgia, and wish to de
velop the full combined vote, they
would not be wise unless they cir
culated the Atlanta Constitution
with its “goldbug” editorials on free
silver for at least a week.

sion of.it in earnest to find out,

REED IN NEW YORK CITY.
T. B. Reed’s speech in New York
city Saturday evening at Cooper
Union was so far beyond a daisy
that it should more properly be
termed a sunflower. He was the
ideal god of sarcasm and succeeded
in establishing the roekribbed and
indestructible wisdom of the Re
publican party and the utter mass
of idiocy that adorns all who oppose
them. He found, to be consistent,
that Gorman, Gray, Brice and their
ilk in the Democratic parly were
wise men allied with fools which
we can readily understand since
they were the main stay of Repub
lican ideas in Ihe senate and did
all they could to hamper Democrat
ic reform in order to protect their
own selfish personal interests. The
scandal of such a thing could of
course do no violence to the feelings
of a Republican of whom Quay was
a living embodiment. All true
Democrats knew that sooner or
later these traitors to their con
stituents would find panegyrists in
the Republican gang that stood at
their backs and cheered them on in
their party treachery. Reed will
put phrases in the mouths of num
berless wide mouthed Republican
stump speakers who will sound the
same tooting horn all over the
North in their praise.
Of course Reed could not make a
speech, even a funeral oration over
a dead tom-cat, without dragging
in the South for a part of his sar
castic abuse. It is evident that a
new form of the bloody shirt yawps
will he dragged into the campaign
at the north now,not the ku-klux or
nigger this time, but the southern
Democratic attack on northen in
dustries. The negro wiil be rele
gated to his only friend the south
ern white man and there he will
perhaps remain until he can at
some future day be of use to Repub
licans by a vote.
It must be said of Reed in this
speech that he is not all bitterness
to the South. The gentle Lousiana
sugar planter has touched a tender
spot in his rugged cordate structure.
It is there the sunlight of northern
Republican civilization has at iast
broken in < a ■•da.»-kest Africa”
which promises great results in
breaking up ihe solidity so noto
rious here, and may he the cause of
bringing the whole into the Union
again—Republican union of course,
there being no other possible.
Tn this great speech—for it was
great in contemptible sophistry and
mean in its evasion of the truths
of Republican wrongs inflicted
upon the masses—he did not dare
touch the McKinley monstrosity.
That, if nothing else, shows his
wisdom, but it shows at the same
time that while lie leaves McKinley
to defend his spawn of tyranny, lie
exhibits his own meanness in de
serting him, for no one assisted
more than Reed by unprecedented
means to railroad tho McKinley
tariff bill through the house of rep
resentatives.
He did not leave untouched the
opportunity to deal D. B. Hill a
blow, and it was a telling one. But
Hill is now almost single-handed
fighting for Democracy in New
York state. He recognises the di
visions In the great party there and
how much he has contributed, but
he is doing all that living man can
do to heal the breach and every
Democrat in the United States
should stand by him. He is doing
for Democracy. His failure will
damage the party severely, and
Reed’s speeches have nothing to do
with shaping our party feeling.
Let this Republican trick mule in
the Republican presidential circus
go on with its antics. A grave
question hovers over the nation
and that is will the country be
saved from the misrule of those
who laid the last straw on the
camel’s back in McKinley’s bill.
studious
some of
Populist
friends. They certainly did not—
at least could not-find anything
objectionable in this Democratic
speech.
Mr. Walsh lucidly explained the
advantages of the new ( tariff over
Ihe McKinley bill, and, as what he
said was irrefutable and true, how
can the Populist say the Democrats
in congress have not worked day
and night while in congress to bet
ter the condition of the people.
We shall not criticise the senstor
for differing with us on the coinage
of silver, for indeed if he is right
and the free and unlimited coinage
of both goid and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 is the right thing to do in
order that the country should pros
per at a bound, no one South should
object. Democrats can settle
this among themselves. The
honesty of our senator makes him
a favorite with everybody that
knows him and his fearless position
on all questions to he publicly con
sidered excites great admiration
for him. We are satisfied that
even if he differs with any part of
his constituency he would be sate
to trust in congress again as our
senator. The interest of the people
(and that is Democracy) would be
safe in his hands, for Pat. Walsh is
never so wedded to his opinions
that he would sacrifice the interest
of Georgia if he were convinced of
error.
His speech was well received
here and many Democrats are en
thusiastic in saying so.
The best way to give a volume of
currency which would be safe from
the control of northern money cen
ters would be a repeal of the tax on
bank issues. Northern money chan
gers would control the circulation of
any national currency that was of
value no matter how much was in
circulation. They have shown
their ability to do so. What are
millions at the North ? They are as
easily handled by the millionaires
as a thousand is ordinarily in the
hands of less financial ability and
experience. The value of state
money would be confined to state
limits and could be found when
wanted. It would not flow into the
coffers of northern shylocks. There
is no doubt of a sufficiency of the
supply of currency to do the busi
ness of the country if it were in
circulation as it should be. But it
dead is the money that is doing the
work, to be paradoxical.
Many of the sugar planters of
Louisiana who joined the Republi
can party to secure high tariff on
sugar, have already found their
mistake and many of them are
coming lack to the Democratic
party. They found that it was to
continue the party of the uegroos
and that the former white Republi
cans would insist on negroes voting
in the primaries which of course
would insure old Republican rats
getting into office agaiu as they did
in reconstruction days. This meant
plundering the slate again and
another age of corruption and mis
rule. It wiil all come right in tiie
end.
The Atlanta Constitution is lay
ing a few flag stones as a sort of
foundation to place the defeat of
the Democratic party in New York
on Mr Cleveland, if it should happen,
The Constitution, doubtless, would

Hon. Rufus E. Lester paid our
county a visit this week looking as
hearty as possible and as full of
Democratic ardor as ever. He has
a tender spot in his heart always
for his native county and is scarce
ly less a countryman thau when he
left it.
It is strange that the rampant
Reed and others of the Republican
presidential bee hive are so mute
on the income tax. What great
volumes of irridescont silence has
settled around their heads! We
except Sherman, and he says it
would do for a war tax. He han
dles it that far and drops it quick.
He was once in favor of It and now
has to eat his former words.
