Bacon of Bibb spent last Wednesday In our town, and at II o'clock addressed the large number of our citizens who assembled to hear him on true Democracy and the great national questions that are engaging the minds of the people throughout our vast country. Hls address was able, forcible, clear, logical and eloquently presented. Hls preface was a sound and -true exposition of Democracy and a complete refutation ot the false Idea obtaining among some -that our present Democratic congress had done nothing toward* the furtherance of the great Interests that the people have vmtrust- ed to them. In arguing national Issues he was bold and fearless In the declaration of hls convictions, -his arguments showing that hls profound knowledge of those Intricate questions is clear and compre hensive, iHls views on the great ques tions of tariff and finance were not contracted; on the contrary, he present ed broad views that are always evi dences of ability. On the all-absorbing question of silver -he presented some facts that were not familiar to -hls hear ers, nnd chat strongly advocated the policy of free stiver. Hls defense of the Demo-aaic party ,as the party of btmenlalllsm was strong and convincing, and backed up. by facts In the party’s history that cannot be gainsaid. Hls appeal to ithe Populists who had 'wandered aiway from the Democratic fold to return to the ranks of Democ racy was strong, tout chaste and ele vated, pointing out the erratic views and untenable principles of that party, and 'the Impossibility of the Populists ever to carry to final consummation the Democratic principles that have been -Incorporated In the Populistic creed. The speech as a whole was nn able defense for Democracy. . THE TRACKS THEY ABE MAKING. Borne Interesting Election Statistics Carefully Compiled. From tlio LnwrenCovlIlo Nows. There nro twenty-one candidates in Gwinnett county; four for tho legisla ture, one for tlui senate, live for sher iff, Including deputies, two for clerk ot tlie superior court, four for tax collec tor. coo for tax receiver, two fur treas urer, aue for coroner, one for surveyo; total—21. We supposo that each one of these candidates has traveled 100 miles. Then say that all of them together have traveled 1,200 miles. Hie average ms<n makes about 2,r>00 steps to tho mile. Multiply 2,500 by 2,100 and wo have 5,250,000, which represents the number of tracks made by the candi dates who nro running In tho Demo cratic primary, this number of tracks, If made behind n plow, wool cultivate, for one season, the largest plantation, ou tho Olinttahoocbeo river l-n Gwin nett county.

A Curiosity Which Was Found Roam ing Around in Oglethorpe. MV. Walter Burkhalter of near San- day Cross was exhibiting in Lexington •sdny a veritable horned tumko which had been killed near Steven* Huff & Co.’s store that day. In shape it had the appearance of be ing a lizanl without legs, was about ten Jnchii long and had a horn on its tail about a half inch long. The most marked pe culiarity of the reptile was the absence of crawling scales which are found mt the under side of snakes, which would seem to indicate that it did not crawl but rolled fa a hoop as horned snakes are said to navigate. It was found by a Mr. Graham aud before it was killed it struck at him with its tali, the horn striking ids pants.

MAJ. BACON’S POPULARITY. Wbat an Impartial Observer Found at the State Convention. From the La Grange Graphic. The recent convention In Atlanta, was one of tfie largest and most representa tive gatherings of Democracy ever held In tho state. Many of the delegates i nominees of the party for senators and representative**, any most of the others were tnen who, by their active Interest In politics, art* In clone touch with the p®>ple. Hence, no better place could be found to test the popularity of the gentle men who are candidates for United Staten senator. Mingling with this collection of repre sentative men. we wore somewhat sur prised end •altogether pleased to hnd that MaJ. Bacon was the first or sr-xmd ch< of almost every one we met. W« lleve that he will lead all opponent the first ballot and that he will readily secure the nomination before many roll ('alls ore made. AI-aJ. Bacon deserve* well of the country, and It will but do tardy justice in honoring him with’ this trust. » BACON AND HIB TRADUCBRS. Personal GrudKOs Will Not Prevent His Election. There seems to be an almost unani mous public sentiment in favor of elect- in B Hon. A. O. Bacon to the United States senate to succeed Hon. Patrick Walsh. The country papers of tne state are speaking out for Bacon, and nine times out of ten the country pa pers represent public sentiment. There are. howcVer, a few papers in Georgia whoue editors seem to have a personal grudge against MaJ. Bacon, and we notice ‘that they are turning their batteries <m him and abusing him at a terrible rate. These soreheads mistake the temper Of tbs people If they think they can detract from MaJ. Bacon’s superior fitness for the eenate by untying their bags of gall and dos ing an innocent public with them. Those who have heard Maj. Bacon’s speeches for the last three weeks say that no Other man in .Georgia possesses a broader grasp of public questions. He seems to thoroughly understand Amer ican Institutions and Is a lover of them. He sees, with the keen eye of a states man, the evils that beset ua, and ven ture*. with commendable patriotism, to create a sentiment which will result In the correction of them. On the finan cial question he is outspoken, yet rea sonable and •conservative, occupying a position to unite the factions in the Democratic party. We believe it will require a groat deal of trickery to defeat Maj. Bacon for the senate.—Lawrencevllle News. PLENTY OF SILVER. No Scarcity of the White Metal on a Parity With Gold ot Amertciw. From the Penny Press. Silver money appear* to be pretty much the only kind of currency In cir culation In Americus. The banks have an abundance of the white metal and pay it out right along, using little paper and less gold.

But Uter on Justice will overtake the laat named creature, for there Is a place where he wiu get hi* deserts—that's hell. NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 7.—At Durham to day A. W.
