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 state to choose from in the difficult positions of filling the place of J. C. For Clerk Superior Court: GEO. O. WARNOCK. For. Sheriff: C. W. HURST. For Tax Collector: J. M. WARD, For Treasurer: F. M. CATES. For Tax Receiver: W. L. MIMS. For Surveyor: S. E. CLARK. For Coroner: JAMES W, CHANCE. 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 please tell us whether this is “hot enough for you” or not? 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.

Wine., Choice Old Rhine Wane, of State of (he United Slates flock around her there just about the time husband Lease is giving the kid- breakfast in Kansas, and while her air is just from curl papers; then 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. Ang-lica, Tort.
