A Declaration of Principles,
While the editor of this paper is
only n political Idiot,—one of the
•‘silent seven,’’ -yet wo aro inclined
to nHsistpur nnulors to an acquain¬
tance with the Candidates for the
state otfleos,—their platform, their
standard as men —ns far ns wo can
glean who are t he (rest men irrespec¬
tive of party. Our knowledge is
necessarily, mostly based upon what
wo find by reading the views of
different persons. The following is
a declaration of principle of the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
and claimed by Democrats to be the
best man.
1 would abridge the rights of no
citizen, white or colored, in the full
enjoyment of life, liberty, property
and the pursuit of happiness. I
would give to the negro every right
and privilege to which he is enti¬
tled under the law; 1 would give him
all his rights in court. I would en¬
deavor citizenship.* to qualify his children for
good I would protect
him against the rapacity of grasping
mei». 1 would let the burthen of
taxdMon hisiwhite fall equally upon him and
he neighbor. 1 would teach
tibf; him to as honest and ineorrup
in his exercise of the elective
fr.fftchise as in his business dealings
with Ids landlord or bis merchant.
Bui f would not. buy his vote, ami
tluW corrupt the ballot and make
him a balance of power to say who
shay rule over the white people of
Geo, gia.
metb out the same even-handed jus¬
tice to white and black alike, neither
excusing the one because he is
whRe, nor punishing the other be¬
cause he is black. In the adminis¬
tration of the prison laws- I would
keep constantly in view two cardi¬
nal ideas—first, that it is the duty
of the state to punish crime, and
secondly, that punishment must be
inflicted with humanity and without
unnecciessary cruelty or severity.
In expending the public revenue
I fact would, tha't keep the state constantly in has view dollar the
never a
that is not wrung from the hard ear¬
nings of its citizens under its taxing
law; that every dollar it applies to
public use was coined out of the
sweat of its own citizens, and that
to spend a dollar unneceessarily is
to rob its citizens of a dollar. Hence
those charged with the imposition
of taxes and thejcollection and ex¬
penditure of the public revenues
should be held to the most rigid
accountability, especially at such a
time as tips, when t he cost of the
production of cotton, our leading
staple, is as much or more than it
will command in the market, and
when honest labor clad in rags begs
for work at starvation wages in or¬
der to be able to buy bread.
1 know that the governor of the
state has but little power in the im¬
position of taxes, but he has some,
Me can wield a wholesome influence
in the direction of economy, and the
constitution and laws makes it his
duty, thi^fails to advise the legislature. If
Tildas to_ protect wisely the tax him payer, by
tbWvetd given
the people to protect them against
hasty and inponsiderate legislation.
1 know that our legislatures have
difficult problems to solve and nu»
merous plausible demands to meet.
I know that tfle appeals have been
made to them well nigh irresistible
believe for many worthy' objects. I cjo not
that a dollar has been dis¬
honestly applied or applied to an
unworthy objepf. But the fact re¬
mains that the people of Georgia are
to-day paying expected higher taxes than have
ever been of them before
in tile history of them before in the
history of the state; and at the same
time tue poor mat? iias to give more
of his labor for a dollar with which
to pay his taxes than he had to ever
give before. A spirit of extravagance
seems to have grown up, not only in
our state, but in the country and
municipal governments. As the
prices of property and of labor and
of products of labor have gone down
year after year, our tuxes, state,
county and municipal, have constan¬
tly gone up year after year. and
1 know it will be difficult in
most cases undesirable to reduce the
allowance now made by law to the
various state institutions and objects
of appropriation Our schools must
he maintained, our needy poor old
soldiers who breasted the storm of
battle for the protection of our
homes must be provided for and the
honor and credit of the state must
ho protected at whatever cost. But
we can stop leaks and put on the
brakes and see to it that this annual
Increase in the tax rate stops.
In 1883 the state levy was 26 cents
on the hundred dollars. In 1837 it
was 52 1-1 cents. The counties levies
are on an average about equal to the
state rate. Thus the people in Geor¬
gia paid in 1883 in taxes to the state
and counties, when cotton brought
10 ‘/ 2 cents a pound, less than tour
million dollars, and in 1807, when
cotton sold at i'/ 2 cents, they paid
nearly six million dollars. A few
more years of annual increase at this
rate will mean to many people con¬
fiscation and ruin,
In the name of humanity let us put
on the brakes. The people who pay
the taxes aro entitled to as muen
consideration as those who got tue
benefits of them.
These are my views.They are honest
ly entertained and deeply rooted.They
are the doctrines of true democracy.
Planted oq them I will go to an in¬
telligent and patriotic people of wearing
the eoller of no man or set men.
1 have made no pledge to anybody
for anything and I will not. 1 vviii
soonor go down in defeat.
If 1 am nominated and elected I
will have no political reward, debts enemies to pay;
no friends to no to
punish;, but will be free to give the
people of my native state a clean,
honest, economic business adminis¬
tration, without any effort at osien
tation or show.

My Dear Friend: I want to tell von mv
experience, coming homo. I left Fitzgei
ajd Sunday noon. At Montgomery we
now get a car that brings within us to Chicago, tO
without change. When miles
of Chicago, we began to see snow
and when vve got there the city was hav ¬
ing a blizzard that beat the Dakotas, The
Telegrath, Telephone and Electric wires.
were down, and street car traffic paral
vzed. I left Chicago for home, 43 miles to
Crystal Lake, at 3:15 p. in. and it was 2
o'clock next morning before 1 rolled onto
my doorstep, frightening my wile by my
precipated entrance. engine We .vent 30 miles,
took on another and stjow plow.
One mile above Cary we were stuck in
snow banks above the car windows. We
were there hours, until 1(d) men and five
engines got there to pull us out, and then
bv one car at a time. We were pulled
down to the depot, put on a switch and
waited until a way was dug out so we
could go on. We charged on the Hotels
and ate them out (that is, what they had
to eat, not the biddings), and amused
ourselves until after midnight, before we
went on. Well we got home at 2 o'clock,
and then I tried to go two blocks, to my
home with three parcels. It was dark, I fell
into litis drift and then that; was stuck in
the road and finally went over a big drift
rolled down onto my porch, completly ex¬
hausted. Today I must stiovel a way out.
Tell your readers I start with another ex¬
cursion from Chicago, next Tuesday.
Yours Truly,

Dear Madam;—Do you know of any one
that wants to trade for a Brick store and
warehouse in the city of lidding, Mich.,
for property in or near your city. If so,
write. The reason of my wanting to
make a change, is that my daughter is
troubled with her throat, and we think if
we could make a change, and get to a mild¬
er climate, it would cure her. 1 spent el
even mqnths in Andcrsonville, Ga., and
know something of the climate. Please
hand this to some one > f the G. A, R. Post,
after you have read it, and if they want to
know more about my property, I would
gladly write, I aiP a member of Dau S.
