CLEVELAND AND SILVER.
In a talk with Congressman Maddox
a few days ugo, Mr. Clorvktud de
clared himself one of Uto best friends
of silver, .«uul imalletol that within
two, years llmoisam countries would
tie trying to inukc terms wllh the
liidtod Nlultes for tho free coinage of
tho moral.
We do wot think .Mr. Cleveland claims
too numb for himself. The boot friends
of silver nro now the men who nrc
trying to force its coinage under con
dition, which would Injure Us pernin-
uet rcpuiUiitlon us u money metal by
most of (bo Corn many at tuitions cf the
world. Tliey are Ilie men who nro
try-lug to bring about Its use by all
the world ns money ou the tamo terms
with gold, and Mr. Cleveland :s among
the most oousplcuoits of these men.
Wliu'.her Ids policy wlil 1st fulfil lol,
time uloue etui tell. Possibly* tho time
he sets Is tw short. Hut It 1, certain,
in our opinion, that tho only way to
esiuhilslt a true UuietuJMsin, to re-cs-
tablisli silver In its old position. Is to
prove to nil nations experlmeutlng with
gold inonotiusnlHsm tliat that policy hi

Tho Harmony Qrov- Echo warns the
colored brother of rainbow promises In
the following language:
"Tlio Populists are trying to fool the
negro by telling him they wHl put him
on tlie Jury and give him equal rights
wits* themselves The negro remembers
the tbrty acres snd the mule."
Some new Populistic presidential tim
ber Is suggested by tljo Columbus Bn-
qulrvi'Sun:
"When the Populists begin to look
around for a presidential candidate who
ran stand flat-footed, with chin up, on
their cranky platform of principles,
they should not pass by Mr. Bugene V
Delia."
The Albany Herald thus bite the natl
on the head:.
"Georgia has already given thltd pan
tylsm a bla.-k eye; this year the same
d'ise will be administered, ami thru the
Named thing ought, to be dead for
good."
The Lincolnton News "drops Into
poetry" thus:
VBlack I® « corker.
Wntsan Is a son of a gun,
. Mine* imv he n lulu
But he can’t beat Atkinson."
This good advice cornea from the
Hartwell Sun:

a temporising policy. Let’s have a
clean-cut Democratic ticket forconty

Atklnson.-.M-i'lls’in .Madisonian.
Tlie nevt thing' you hear Croiji the
Populists they win put a plank in their
Ptot/orm to buy up all the horses nnd

tho people. There would be Just ns
much propriety In such' a scheme o»

Harmony Grove Echo. *
It behooves us as Democrats to rally
around tbs Democratic sundard bearer
and suppont him. -ptic Democrats of
Georgia have declared for Hon. W. Y.
Atkinson for governor and all true Dem
ocrats will support him. A few dis
gruntled politicians may be found here
and there who will not support the
nominee, ibut you wUl find it so In al
most every campaign. The voice of the
people should be heeded, and they have
declared for Mr. Atkinson for governor,
and he will receive the support and In
dorsement of Hie Democratic party tn

If present predictions are true, the corn

A CARD.
To the Editor of the Telegraph; The
kindly notice in your Issue of the lJlh
Inst, of the "successful young busi
ness man” In connection with, legisla
tive honors, Is‘“.very gratifying, of
course, oae who has 'thought so
little of entering public life as myself,
uml the id'ea must Jrave been suggest
ed by a recent conversation trekl with
several prominent gentlemen, In which
l expressed a desire to see certain Taws
enacted at the next session ot tihe legis
lature; whioh would surely be for the
good of our great commonwealth; and
U3 my name has been mentioned as a
possible law-maker I will be pardoned
for saying that the measures alluded
to were: An Immigration bureau for
Georgia. I do not mean by this any
scheme that would encourage the 1m-
mlgtu'tlon of a foreign pauper element
to Georgia, but a bureau 'that In a
practical business-way would, contem
plate the bringing of intelligent farm
ers, who have some means, from the
overcrowded sections of this country
and from the old country , as well, who
are now looking for a more genial cli
mate where lands are not ye't too high.
I would h'ave our largo plantations of
a thousand acres or more cut atp into
»ma4! farms of, say, fifty acres uud
thus have our lands thoroughly culti
vated and made to , yield what they
would. I would have tiro Torrens sys
tem of registering the titles 6f lands
adopted in Georgia, whereby odr lands,
the only collaterals that we have,
would be made good collaterals and
furnish us the means of cosily obtain
ing'all the money we wunt a£ a low
rate of interest, for a certificate for a
registered lot of land would be "'as good
os a Georgia bond.
I would have a law passed by which
our public rouds could be worked scl-
erttifioally and systematically and thus
be made good and permanent. Putting
our highways In good conditions alone
would bring our farm lands up lo a
value that we can scarcely realize.
Thisfcwould In afl probability change
our miieroble conviot leaso system,
hich cannot be blotted from our stat
utes too soon, If wo would escape the
ponaKy.which such an iniquitous prac
tice deserves. There Is .yc*t another
thing that I have spoken of, .aqff ?53R
U the adoption of the Australian bal
lot system of voting or a good registra
tion law.
For my size I suspect you wilt think
that I have cut out a great deal of
work, but the*e measures briefly al
luded to I would like to see become
lam, being convinced ’that by them
our people would be targely benefited.
Now, as <o my candidacy, I will say
thlft It 1s atl in the minds of myJenthu-
sUatlo friends; representatives of nil
classes, l leant, men of Integrity, nten
of means and men of Influence, who
assure nte that I have only to announce
myself to secure their earnest, active
support. But duty has always been
my w.Vichrword in the affairs of life,
and my duty lies now In another direc
tion, and <that duty I ohaJl try and
faithfully perform. For *the present I
have given quite as much of my time
and means as I can afford to do, look
ing to the building up and welfare of
our city and section, and with my un
feigned thanks to the friends who have
ktndly sought to honor me beyond
my deserts, I must decline to become
a candidate fer 'representative from
Btbb. Faithfully yours,
Geo. Smith.

MR. TOTALS’ NOMINATION.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I no
ticed In your issue of the 12th lost, that
your correspondent from Kastman, re
ferring to the neat* primary for senator
In the Fourteeuth district. Inttmatc-d tnat
a contest u very probable; but 1 thtntc
we need not lose any sleep or fear
anythin*- serious from that quarter. We
kVi-xv'.'l A bij? k'in or two. therefore we
are not surprised In ihe least. In a few
day* there will be a calm; you can
hardly hear a whisper now.
Your correspondent further says mat
BaJtiy Ryala was elected by Populists.
Wrong again. Brother Baldy Rynis was
•tooted by the boot men tn the city or
Eastman. Cbauncey and the surrounding
county, and they were not hired to rote,
either. Everything on God’s green eartn
wn* done to elect Mr. Aahburn. but of
no avail, lie got beat, and badly, too,
by a roan who runs on hts ‘Yep. ’ And
when I say "rep,” I mean a man whose
intellect is as lofty as the ntgnt of th»
eagle and as pure as the clouds that b uhe
Ms pinions; x man whose character is os
strong os Gibraltar's rock, yet as genial
in it* glow os the evening: a roan who
has never jncftftetd principle^ betrayed
a trust or lost a aviso; a roan who. hav
ing been reared In our midst, and having
served Dodge county before In an official
capacity, has kindled for himself a beacon
light that will bum and blaze and brighten
tn every home where true patriotism is
nota dead letter.

which he stands. We wanted a man to
represent us In the senate hall; a man
of Integrity; a man of. well known and
approved political opinions, and who has
the love of freedom pulsating in his heart.
We wanted a man acquainted with public
affairs; with the wants of tho people;
with a reputation as spotless os a star.
We wanted a man who was one of the
grandest combinations of heart, brains
and conscience within this commonwealth.
Such a man, Mr. Editor, Is the Baldy
Ryals of Dodge county.
Now, if the faction representing Mr.
Ashbum wants Is contest this election,
all I can say is, "Crack your whip," and
we will prove"to you a sight more than
we have already told. We are confident
of another fact, that the executive com
mittee will heartily Indorse the aotlon ot
Dodge and that little BaJdy will represent
s In tho .lenate. Democrat.

DONE BY DEMOCRATS.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I neo
from the Eastman correspondent or the
Macon Telegraph of yesterday he glvee
& reason why Mr. Ashburn was defeated
In the nomination for the senate In Dodge
county. He rciys that Ashburn was de
feated by tho Populists. I a:n gild m
learn that we nave attained such strength.
The presumption Is toat >f :m> Topunst-
oted, as many voted for Ashbum as did
for hl» opponent. But the People s party
did not defeat him. He was the cause or
Ills own defeat, and It was done by Demo
crats. The people of Dodgo county are
not preparedi to swallow Cleveland or At
kinson either, and Ashburn has swallowed
both.
Now the truth of the whole matter s,
Itynls is a Democrat—a plain, unassuming
farmer who did not spend a nickel .o
get votes; was not In the race over two
days,' and beat Ashburn 59 Votes, and lio
(Ashburn) had bven In the race since the
adjournment of the legislature.

THE OLD HOUSE.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Cold' and cheerless, bare and bleak,
TM * njil liouae fronts the shabby street,
And v the dull windows eastward gaze,
As their cobwebbed brows they raise.
Just as though they looked to see
What had become of you and me,
And all the othsr tfrnTdren.
The garden at the aide-—you know—
Where mother’s flowers used to grow.
Huh run hb wild as we’d have grown
o had not her training known.
The vines she bent stilt twine each tree,
As cling her prayers to you nnd mo,
And all the other children.
Over the eavee wrinkled and bare.
The gay moss floats like tangled hair;
if we hud heard these echoes flung
Down the long halls wTIen we were young.
We’d never scurried oft to bed—
a and 1—thro* the gloom o'erhead.
With all the other children.
our wide orbs the e-ye of night
Gazed sbftly' with mesmeric light;
When mother bent above our bed
The silver moonlight touched her acad.
And In my dreams her face 1 see,
Madonna-llke. shine over me—
Shine over all her children.
The dust drifts o’er the garret floor.
The little feet tread there no more;
But o’er the stage still standing there.
The muse first stalked with tragic air.
And whispered low to you and me
Of golden days that were to be
For us and all the children.
Good-by. old house! Thy tattered cloak
Is fringed with mo* and gray with smoke;
Within thy walls we used to see
A gaunt old wolf named Poverty;
Yet from thy rafters’ dingy bars
A ladder’s stretched up to the stars—
For us and all the children.

MR. PULLMAN’S CAREER.
How the Millionaire Car Builder Got
His Sturt in Life.
From the Chicago Post
Mr. Pullman was born on March 3,
mu in Chautauqua, county, N. Y.
Hts parents were poor, :uid his edu
cation was limited to what he could
learn of the rudiimentary branches in
tlie district school. At the age of 14 he
went to work its a clerk for ti country
merchant He kept this pi act* three
yturn, studying at night. When 17, he
went to Albion, N.* Y., and worked for
his brother, who kept a cabinet shop
there. Five years later he went into
buodn-eoa for himself us a contractor
for moving buildings along the line of
the Erie canal, wthch wus then being
widened by 'the state. He was success
ful in tnls, his inventive mind applying
to the work mechanical principles nev
er before used in thiat way.
In 1858 he came to Chicago und en
gaged in itlie business of moving and
raidng houses. This work was novel
here then, and he wus quite successful.
About this time the discomfort attend
ant on traveling at night unrated Ills
attention. He reasoned that tho public
would gladly pay for comfortable
sleeping accommodations. A few sleep
ing cars wvre In use at this time, but
they were wretchedly crude, uncom
fortable affairs. In 1853 he bought two
old day coaches from the Chicago and
Alton road and remodeled them on
somehthing like the general plan of the
sleeping cars of the present day. They
were put into service on the Chicago
uud Ali’Jon und iUecame eopu&ixi Via
once. /
iHe saw the possibilities of the busi
ness, but had gieat difficulty In lnduc-
Ign capitalists to Join him. dlls propo
sitions were laughed at. He perse
vered, however, and in 1863 built the
first sleeping car resembling the Pull
man cars of today. It co»t $18,000, nnd
wns the Pioneer. After thaic the Pull
man Palace Oar Company prospered.
It had shops at different cities. In
1880 the town of Pullman was founded
by Mr. PuUrilan nnd his company. Mr.
Pullman lives a* Eighteenth street mid
Prairie avenue. Hte ftunlly consists of
hh wife, two sons nnd on** daughter,
Florence. Another daughter, Harriet,
Is Mrs. Frank J. Oarolan. His wealth
Is estimated at $25,000,000.
WHIPPED BY A JAY.
Sad Fato bf an Effingham County
Snake.
From the Guyton Chronicle.
To the Editor: I witnessed a novel
eight a short time ago, viz; the killing
and ea-tlng of a snake by a blue Jay. I
am living in nn ouk grove here where
Mr. Jay makes his home the year round.
I aat watching bne of them feeding a
short time ago In the grass, when I
noticed he got excited from some ob
ject. With his feathers ruffled on his
neck and head and ta41 erect he charged
from the lower branch of an oak and
made a vicious thunirp at something In
the grass. Again and again he whacked
At his anakesnlp, jumping from one cide
to tlie other us lightly as an expert
lightweight. Then he pteked the snake
up In his bill, and with neck stretched
tried to carry him to. a 'tree, but the
snake was too much alive and had to
be dropped. Twice did this occur, when
he finally got lilm to an oak limb, cut
him in two, dropped one half and car
ried the other half to another tree and
Btahlm. The snake was about three-
elghths of an Inch around and ten
Inches long. I was not more than thirty
feet from the scene of batitle and the
whole thing was done In five mtnutes.

From the Norfolk Virginian.
A Georgia Populist paper say’s that
Debs and the other strike headers are
Populists, and that they are preparing
to knock Cleveland, Shennttp and the
Others off tho track: Well, they had
better be hurrying about It, as the day
of their freedom Is well nigh ended.
