NOMINEE OF THE TENTH DISTRICT.
Hon. W. H. Fleming was unani
mously chosen as a candidate to
represent the 10th district yi place
of Hod. J. C. C. Black who volun
tarily retires himself. The 10th has
some of the finest material ic the

positions of filling the place of J. C.

C. Black.
Georgia seldom ever had in con
gress a wiser, more conservative
and truer Democrat than J. C. C.
Black, or one who has more con
scientiously filled the place of the
people’s representative in the con
gress. It is a matter the whole
state will regret that Col. Black
finds that he cannot further neglect
and sacrifice the duties of home
and business.
It gives pleasure to say that the
mantel falls on worthy shoulders
and the flag of Democracy will be
placed in good and true, hands when
trusted to Hon. W. H. Fleming. He
is honest, conscientious and of emi
nent ability. His election is assur
ed and Georgia will have another
able congressman.
The Americus Herald predict
that Watson’s on-to-the-vic-e-presi
deney will be side tracked, or words
to that effect.
Being a stranger somewhat
this kind of weather, will somebody

The papers are geneally publish
ing short letters from the people
This is a good sign that the peopl
are thinking more than ever.
We shall miss those very interest
ing papers from Europe in the At
Jauta Journal from the pen of Joe
Johnson, Jr. He wields an easy and
graceful pen.
Bryan’s triumphal march on New
York, citadel of the enemy, teils its
own story of enthusiasm for the
Chicago nomnination. Democrats
re pulliDg together all along the
line.
It is fearful on the Augusta
Chronicle that the insolvable mys
tery between the president and Sec.
Hoke Smith should settle down on
it while the thermometer and Siri
us is raging. Hully Gee, it’s awful
Under the pretense of keeping
party together for which there is
no need whatever now,the Populist
are nominating office hunters for
all sorts of offices. The people
usually shuffle off these useless ap
pendages.
The Meriwether Vindicator says
“the colored people of the state are
enthusiastic for Gov. Atkinson
The governer has goue as far as the
law would allow him in protecting
interests and liyes. That is all he
could do for white and black.
Somebody has been looking up
the road for the new meteors to ap
pear. Seab Wright is the last one
seen. The Pops are delaying the
sky rocket show; but may be Col.
Tom will be down in the 10th dis
trict before long, blazing his way
to the vice-presidency through the
classic precincts of Pinetucky.
James O. Neill’s adventure with
the eagles was peculiar. He fought
them to protect some children from
their assaults. One of them pounc
ed upon his fine stylish tile and put
it all out of shape and down a preci
pice. The eagle did not know per
haps that the actor had rather
have his skin torn than his ten dol
lar beaver.
It is most surely true that every
Democrat who went into the pri
maries to send delegates to Chicago
are bound to support the nominee
of the convention. We must not
forget that the cardinal principle
of Democracy is that the majority
rules. More especially is this com
mand emphasized when it is a two-
thirds majority.
The Democratic committee and
the .Republicans at Canton, Ohio
the home of McKinley, paid each
other and the candidates kind cour
tesies and attentions on the day
that Bryan passed on his way to
New York. That is the way this
great people ought to conduct cam
paigns. In the effort to secure
rights by peaceful means no one
has a right to turn a campaign for
principle into a cat and dog fight.
WATSON AS A MARTYR.
Coi.Tom Watson is always posing
as a martyr. He once had his
friends and henchmen around his
house m Thomson guarding him
from assassination because lie met
a DenJocrat going after a doctor in
a studying wrapper. This was good
enough Kukiux for his purpose and
there was enacted one of the most
miserable yet amusing farces of his
first Black-Watson campaign. Nev
er to this day has there appeared the
slightest justification for this order
ing out the Winchesters of his dis
trict for his protection, and it H
subject too ridiculous to mention
even by him with all his gall and
brass. Now he is continually harping
on Jones’ insult to him and hisPopu
list friends, which he knows sincp
Chairman Jones has denied it and
explained what he did say that the
World's reporter told a deliberate
falsehood.
SAVE US FROM THE DOUBLES
Some papers jumped at once upon
the spelling of ‘'tranquility” with
one i in the one dollar silver cer
tificates just issued. These papers
rushed to the dictionaries and ency
clopedias to verify their judgments
that two l’s were correct. One
Georgia Augusta paper asked that
a campaign of education be institu
ted in the treasury department at
once. But now they are looking
down at tbeir shoes with a meian
choly expression on their brows
since they have been told that the
original constitution of the ’United
States authorizes the spelling.
We think it is an excellent time to
begin the dropping ofthe numerous
double l’s and i’s etc., that
afflict the English language unne
cessarily and bother the memory
and intellects of everybody that
speaks and writes the language:
certainly if the fundamental law of
the greatest republic that ever was
born has exisSed for over a hundred
years with “trarqui!? s y” ?ppjt wi>h
a single 1 and st«»r.d \ •• was v. i’h
foreign power* ;. d an Internal rev
olution without be'ng battered to
pieces we can afford to drop several
of the useless doubles without dan
ger to us, to literature or the Eng
lish language.
INGRATITUDE.
Mrs. Mary Yelling Lease, having
given the meek Mr. Lease orders
how many biscuit to let the chil
dren eat, and to beware of the fas
cination of the cook during her ab
sence, hies off to New York to be
interviewed. Mary is determined
not to be behind the procession and
to keep herself constantly in ev
idence; in fact, she is determined
to stand as high as the thermom
eter, even if it gives the Populists of
Kansas sunstroke. The reporters
of the great and enterpriseing press
the metropolis of the Empire
she lets out a large flow of jaw to
their infinite delight. She descents
on candidates, particularly on her
former friend Col. Tom Watson.
The manner of her criticism on
Col. Tern is enough to create doubt
a* to her sincerity in supporting
Bryan and Sewn;!. Once we know
she hung upon his words like the
usual drone hangs upon the honey
of the true bee laborer. Why our
citizens remember that she and Col.
Tom spoke here in this city from
the same forum and upon'planks of
the same platform erected by the
Populists of that hour, including Coi.
Lon Livingston. Col. Loc returned,
like the great man he is to the Dem
ocratic fold, but Mrs. Lease and Cal.
Tom went on their erratic way
after subtreasuries and railroads and
te’egraphs without taking back, dis
claiming or renouncing anything
or any part of the whole earth they
had claimed with the assistance of
Weaver, Taubeneckand Bill Sande-
ford. She smiled blandly on Col.
Tom and gave him rough hunks of
Kansas taffy; praised his Appolio
like figure, his eloquence and his
statemanship and assured him <hat
his ten dollar head was in a five
cent wool hat.
Now after all this what do we
hear from the reporters of (he great
metropolitan press? Oh! Maryeliirg
thou dallier, thou wondrous g'y
triiler, thou coquette of coquettes,
flirt of flirts, to up and say before
these naughty pencil-pushing men,
that Col. Tom is nothing but a
“great big, silly, erratic school boy.”
Now will our Populist friends who
shouted for Mrs. Mary on the day
she abused Democrats and able
consistent and patriotic Georgians
here m Waynesboro lend us some
new “cuss words” to send Tommie
while we get together as good Dem
ocrats and agree to vote for Bryan
and Sewall uex; November.

Keep Up Your
Scott’s Emulsion
m Summer-time
When Mr. Joseph A. Blance in
the Atlanta Constitution says, “I
have no confidence in parties; they
all seem to be for plunder and not
principle, triumph and not the
truth,” he was referring to men and
not parties. The Democratic party
has had and now has the noblest of
Democratic principles, but ambi
tious politicians and low selfish
demagogues prevent them from con
trolling the affairs of the people.
Parties are not all wanting in good
principles but they sadly need the
true hearts of wise patriots and
there is where the danger lies.
c^^What are your resources
::or the summer? Have you
an abundance of health stowed
away for ths long, hot, deplet
ing days, or does summer find
you low in vitality, run down,
losing flesh, and weak ? Scott’s
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil will
give you the proper reserve
force, because it builds up the
system on a solid foundation.
A tonic may stimulate; Scott’s
Emulsion not only “boosts,”
it sustains.
THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
Of course there wili be adverse
criticism of the acceptance address
of the Hon. W. J. Bryan by the
press and adherents of the McKin
ley side of the present issue, but
few if any, of those who pretend to
be fair will refuse to accord to Bry
an the honor of making one of the
most splendid as well as exhaustive
presentations cf the principles and
demands of the Democratic party
yet put before the people. He
leaves nothing to be said. It is now
a rude raecum for those who would
know what Democracy is doing to
equalize laws anu make the govern
ment a. general government; not
one for the few and oppression of
the many. The financial question
upon which he has spent so many
years of thought is so forcibly put
that, even the most earnest oppo
nent, if not influenced by sordid in
terest will be staggered in his hon
est beliefs that the gold standard is
absolutely necessary for the better
conduct of our financial affairs. If
there is sophistry in it no one so far
has exposed it. It is logical to
demonstration and can only be rr
fated by denying the premises abso
lutely. His position on the income
tax every true Democratic is obliged
to admit it is democratic and the
great masses of the people are
mostly concerned who bear the bur
dens of-governmeat and who pro
feet ’he wealthy that cor tribute
nothing to this protection. Here i
a wrong that will be righted sooner
later, and if the selfishness of
greed makes the rich short sighted
and mean, theywiii have many days
to repent this greed in sack cloth and
ashes when the crisis arrives that
will make them disgorge. It is not
he people’s desire to war on wealth
It is resentment io the almost nat
ural tyranny of the vastly wealthy
as is displayed in refusing to bear
burdens that is imposed upon every
citizen. The money power is alone
responsible for the present troubles
in the government. Some remedy
will be applied; it may be a desper
ate one, but if so, the selfish greed
of wealth wili be responsible for it.
Candidate Bryan gives the reasons
that the people are moved, and if
the power of wealth relies upon
McKinley to protect it still, at best
they can, but postpone the evil d^y.
Let every Democrat read the ora
tion and be armed with its power
ful arguments, and we sincerely
hope that every Populist will read
it. and find there how little reason
ho has for jeopardizing his own and
his people’s interest by followbg
demagogues and small offi ’e hun
ters. It is more Important for
(hose than even Democrats to read
if they are in earnest about the peo
ple’s rights and the nation’s welfare.
