He I. entitled to the hearty support of every Democrat and to the cun jh ra tlon In labor for the.good of the parijr of every man who is cnlru'tcd by it with tbe duties of loadcrsli'p. tVe Ut-pe the convention sill Is; a lmtab'c gath ering of the stroagist ami in-w? < Gtliu- slnst.c men of the party and that ft will adopt idaas for tuc caTylut' an .1 ire campaign that tv'.ll cnal.lo our invinci ble young candidate to liijlke of the sixth the banner Doraocrattc district of the state. In England, whore government by party had Its origin, nml haa reached Us most perfect development, there nave never boon more than two con siderable parties contending for tho control of lh« government. By what ever name known, one of these parties has represented the tendency to change, the discontent with existing conditions, tho desire for progress which always nlfccts the coodnot.of n largo propor tion of men, wbtoh is Inherent, and without which society nnd government would remain In the stagnant condition seen In China. At Its host, tills party represents the "noblo discontent’ of 'Emerson, mid at its worst Ihe selfish passions anil desires of men who wish to thrive at Ihe expenso of tho com munity, rattier tlinn by their own ex ertions nnd sacrifices, 'file other party tins represented the nnt1|mthy to change which Is also Inherent In men, tho do- sire that tilings shall remath ns they are, the tolerance of imllttcnl evil* that grows out of tho fear that any chiingo menus n substitution of something worse, tho conservatism, that In tho do- sire to hold on to everything good Is unable clearly to see that certain things arc not good merely because they are old mid have been long accepted. These llui-s of deinureatkin between British parties are tho same Hint sep arate pnrtlis In other solf-goverulug countries, tint have been much more sharply defined. They have been con fused tern by class Interest mid class prejudice*, so that In England, more than nny other country, It may Isi said Hint politics moved on nn intctlcotunl plane. Men divided because of a-dltTor- cure of opinion rattier than because of a divergence of Interests. For this rea son it has lieen tmo that tho rich nnd poor, tho nobles nnd tho eoinmnncra were dlvidifl with something approach ing equality between tho two parties. The majority of the nobles nml land- owners, iiertiaps. have belonged to the Conservative or Tory parly nurltig tho Inst two hundred years, but a very large minority. Iiieluding many ut'ile. men of the hlgliest rank, have tielonged to the Wlitg or Liberal party, aud were ntde to fairly preserve the social bal mier la politics. It Is a tendency, however, la British politics, now very strongly developed, for party notion to lio ditrunlucd or lnrgvly Influenced by ctass or soctloiinl Interests, and oue of the consequences Is Indicated 111 our London dlspntchcs of yesterday. The general election Is uenr mid die Liberal parly, though It Is In power, flints It hunt to raise money for election expenses. Tills Is been use tho drift of the party during recent years toward radicalism nnd socialism Ims initio fur toward ulloasttag freni It tho property holding classes which though favorable to progress are op- posed to revolution. Those elnssos have heretoAm borne tin* expoosos of tlie party’s rampnlgiix. which nre Inrger, proportionately, In Gretit Brllnlu than lu the tlntled Sinlea, and the govern meat does not contribute Indirectly to tliolr payment, as .bs-s oars. The can dldate for psrilnioeat must meet tils expenses without hope of being retm- bursisl In tlie event of success by hts salary as a member. The meinliera of parliament nre paid' no salaries, and tlie poor man who is elected a member must Ik* supported from hi* party's campaign fund or the voluntary sub scriptions of tils constituents. The result of tills clinugo In tho con- Stltuenl eleineiits of the party Is likely to bo an oxaguerallon of pnrtl*au feel lug lu electloW Isak^llja will b> Influenced more tiy cla-w and less X*y national Interests.

No doubt many tu'stakes will lie made and perhaps some Injustice done, hut the tiled outcome will lie better govern- meut. , In hla testimony before the toiler commission, Mr, (Jumpers, president of tho American Confederation of Labor, Mid that ho was opposed to strikes bin that ho thought that they would con tinue to occur as long us uiuptoycra re fused to pay just wages. This raises tho question, what arc Just wages'/ Who is to determine tho nmiruut to bo paid by tlio employer to tho employe - / In tho settlement of this all-important question Is (ho amount of wages to bo paid to bo left with -‘lilicr employer or employes acting atone? Is It. jiot cer tain that if left to either the settlement would ho un unjust ono-tlmt too low wpgea would he paid In ouo ease, and that In tbo other wages so high would lie demanded that the .‘taployer could not long pay them? it seems to ns this Is manifestly true, nnd It follows that tho fixing of prages must k» done both by employer und employe—by agreement tf possible aud by conten tion If necessary. This is only saying that tlio present system muse continue lu force, Tho price must bo tiled by tho'law of supply nnd dcimutd In the In fore©.

Giles for himself nnd O. 6L Houser. Mr. Houser, he says, denies Ithe charge of oanteinplated Independent candidacy tor mayor against Mr. ttkellle. but he of fer. inching to substantiate his denial end makes no demnndB on me for proof, but of course (hart la because he I. so uppueed .o contorts and wishes to re tire. So I shall say to him as the dis appointed girl itid to her kwer, who was Uo cnll for her nt 4 o'clock to go buggy riding and came at 6 to say that he had no buggy amt could nut got one, and she said sweetly: 'U”l .excuse you.” So If Mr. llouser la out of soap and can't get any tl'11 exciue him. iMr. (Him labors at great length to luatlfy his euwwrt of the Republican iisiead of tho Dentocratto nominee for president In 1872. Jus; an nil men have to do when they got outside of the potty to get men to vdto for. I shall nut write a history of my political life, aw Mr. Gtlee would have .he reader be* lievo bo lias dbnn, but shall simply say that 1 have gjwayg supported the men that the Denxicrattc party nominated, even though they be radical, ns -la prov en by my support of Mr. Giles when nominated by tha party. The difference between Mr. Giles' Democracy - nnd mine Is, I ean support even a radical for ©f- Itoo If eet apart by tho Democratic p.rty. but l can't go over to the negro radical not tty and lecture them art night, »s Mr. Giles did to gel an ofllce. I think Mr. Gtlee' Democracy la very mueh Uke Judge Gresham's Republi canism—tt becomes quite clastic when office Is to be had. t have never had nor never expect to have any confidence In the political soundness of any man that w ill desert htw Mity In the libur of peril for securing to himself spalls, as dtd Mr. Giles lu IS?!. And he would now have us believe thst he was nn im- l/>rtant factor tn keeping the negro down, and »> he wa«—and he kopt the Democrats down also. Now -the .ruth Is that Mr. Hunt of Tennessee. a Union soldier and nn old friend of Mr. Gltns, rolled In here bn the enrsKshbag wane tn seareh of plun der, and tn quite a short while he and Mr. Giles lind tho grip on the negro and the result was that a* fhe first MMWi Mr. Giles was elected ordtnary nnd Air. .Hunt tax tsotlector on ths- ne gro radical ticket Mr. Hunt, - not being satisfied, took another slice In .he tax receiver's oltloe t«t ithe next election, ami as soon as the reoomttrurtlon days were gone and the llunt-like carpet baggers were no more In the land and Sir. Giles had no radical party to fall back on In cnee of Democratic defeat, be was taken out eml a good old Demo crat put in the ordinary# office. Mr. Giles charges .hat it le unbereym In* conduct In me to try to tmperrtl hie sucoesa as the nominee of .he party. I stated tn my last h«:er positively that I was sure Mr. Giles was not the nomi nee of the Democratic party, and I state I: again and stand ready t'o prove H when catted upon to do re\ and when I vote for Mr. ditto tn October, as I ex pert go do. I shall nog vote for hint as tin* man chosen bf the Democrats of this county to serve them, but shall vote tor him a* a man pot upon the party by n class of Illegal voter* and sustained by .he executive committee by a majority of one vote, and that- un der a very mistaken Idea of party etfe- ty, and In the face of the welt estab lished fact that K wvnX do to seal up corruption tn She party, hut that safety lire In pursing It out. 1 plead guilty to the sin of voting once for Mr. aUex I did It s. the re quest and under a wrong appeal from my much loved friend. Judge Notting ham. who knew ths. I always fought GUre In politic*. Now I regret dragging Mr. Odes Into this nutter .but hi* fail ure to error .he county papers against roe being properly considered. I dbn't believe It St very, greet crime efler all a* U gives him a better chance to gome out with hts poBtlcal history than he had through Mr. Houser. . , * It men mean what they toy, Mr. Giles' statement that he hae been supported by nearly every prominent Democrat In the county Is quite a broad' miftake. Now. Iam dealing wltli Mr. Ollea politi cally and not personally. I have noth ing whatever agalnsi Mr. Gtle* .hat would (prevent my treating Mm as kind; ly as I ever have.-but I s.iy here and nog chat no man with hW past political record, together with his conduct In dodging a fair, honorable Investigation os to hts present candidacy. Is worthy of the support and confidence of true and honorable Democrats. I say now thst .0 bar the doom against an Inves tigation In psrty muter, where trun Democrats come with illegalities al leged, to un-Domocrattc, unmanly and extremely dertlmcna.il to party unity anil harmony. And I further say that the man who lx willing to force himself upon the people by .he ns* of such methods as Mr. Giles has employed and In the face of past party precedent tn the county, pi a perfect stranger to pure Democracy. I can't see the relevance to Ibis lame of Mr. Giles' great tirade of abuse of PCjr old dead Greely and hla cuts at the Democratic convention that Indorsed him as their candidate for president. Nor ean I see .he comfort nor precedent for Mr. Giles In hi* bloated eutogy of Mr. Grant, who sent tto n soldier's grave nnd to eternity by his command mors of our best and noblest Southern manhood thnn nny man that ever lived nnd then deserted Ihe Democratic pnrty tor of fice. as Mr. Giles did. and lived the rest of his life a solid, staunch member of the Radical panty. Now. Mr. Giles cltew the action of the grand Jury In indorsing hla official rec ord. which I have never referred to In tha slightest. No one questions his ability as an officer, and I say to his credit than he filled the oltlce ably, os no doubt many members of the Republi can party,are doing In different coun ties and Started tn the Union. It Is only Mr. Glle»( political record thart Is under .consideration and his conduct in ward ing off a contest, the object nnd 'only Object of which he has In an open, hon orable, Demonraltle way to see whether he or I was the nominee In .he recent primary In this county. „ , Chester Pearce. Henderson, Aug. 27. 1894. EXCESS OF IMAGINATION. To the Editor of the Telegraph: We sometimes meet a man with a griev ance, but be with whom this nrtlcle has to do I* a man with nn Imagina tion. Any one who has ever listened to Col, .1 ohn Temple Graves' lectures or read hls essays or speeches knows Chat the colonel suffers sorely from ex cess of imagination. Xn Mm the Imagi native faculty is most abnormally ile- veloed. Apart from hts lectures and es says there are other evidences of his ufflictlon from enlargement of the Im agination. This excess was shown to ;l remarkable degree when .he colonel supposed that the Alliancemen of Geor gia would allow him und Livingston to dlotitte tho senartomhlp of Georgia und rush Pat Calhoun in over the no ble Gordon. All excess baggage is charged for und the colonel hud to pay excess changes In this cose. Dereut Is always hard pay. , „ This excess of Imagination was also ma-nlfev/ted when Oho colonel advised •the general government to take the ne- grus trad colonlxe them Into a atate unto -lihemaeivto a sort of Ideal Liberia, U. S. A. —'id>"i This excess was again Shown during the gubernatorial canvass, when Col. John Temple Graves delivered nn ora tion gainst Akklnson. The coloneb you know, has a lecture—''The Reign of the De mogog lie"—gotten up years ago for Ch-aurtaunuos und commencemeiiPoccn- alons, so much a lecture'. He tfpp.isd 'this lecture to Atkinson und mode him out one bf the most corrupt of.-ltvlng men. The latmlt evidence of this riot of ImagUmtlon Is Col. Grave's urfjqle In Sunday'*.CSjnxUtutlon. He calks ifur u denl.i or explanation of the charges. I proose to do both. He declares tn his article, most gravely, too, that Qeorgta Is rife today with the spirit of revolt. Such u revolt, he says, that things mu*, he explained to him, Oise he and thou sands of others writ fling defiance at the Democratic party in tlie October election, lie -tells us tn hi* article most frankly .hat -the cause of this deep re volt, which will manifest Ptself in Oc tober. Is not the defeat of Gen. Evans, net the tariff, not the quarrel of Cleve land and the senate, not the great v*- rlrty or fiiiancUil -theories, not the mul- itlfurlous platforms, state, national or congreoslomil; not the silver question, n« overproduction, not partisan bitter ness nor negre supremacy, but—what? Now. reader, whalt do you guess? He enya n ring bus been formed tn Georgia, which has parcelled out OB the offices for years to come, nnd that the Judiciary of -The state have Joined tho coalition, whereupon ho raises tho eye brows of -his Imagination In horror as he sees the bench tn Georgia tilled In future with a. set of Jeffries. This lot- iter of his In the Constitution of Sunday is but the edbo of tils Marietta speech against Atkinson. Tho whole thing springs from a diseased Imagination. Who constitutes torts ring, this cabal of which ho speaks? He leaves us In the dark. So far as Atkinson is concerned he has again and again openly declared that ho has promised office to no one, nnd If elected he will go Into office free and untnamelled. Can we believe him? The people hnve apoen. What, then, of the Judlcl-iry? Do they belong to the cabal? Col. Graves asserts that "a pure Judiciary towvrs above every question and is the great Issue now: •Well, nvhut have our Judiciary done to make (hem un Issue and cause Col. John and his thou sands tie swear* about to be 60 defiant about election time? What have they done? They hcluivel modestly in (he recent campaign. Two-thirds of them by uo.'uol count were for Gen. Evans, but mindful of the office they held, they made no eturnp speeches, hut 'wore so discreet Hurt Col. John did ni know ■'where they were at,” und In Yds Im agination placed ihem tn the thicks* or the fight leading the Atkinson forces. An.l wtu’t about the balance, the remaining one-rthtrd? Are they the one* nrho dragged the ermine in dls- graee? What did they do? Tell ft. Let It out. Have they done such deeds us to make the question of a pure Judi ciary "the only question In October?" Tell us what they have done. Put up or shut up. Ami even If some Judge did not come up to the Ideal standord of JuJK-l.il propriety (and 1 know of none), what relief can be found for Col. Graves and his thousands by defying Democracy in October! Is Judge Hint*, who left the bench and went Into potttica, preaching division, alienation, destroying the ho- mogenRy of our people, taking advnn. tilge of the stress of the times to be guile them, such an example as piensc the linagiroitkm of Ool. John Graves la Judge ltine* more to vet y .ban Judge Jenkins, Judge Bower, Judge Kanselt join Clarke, Judge Smith, Judge Hunt, Judge Sweat, Judge Boyington. Judge Hardeman and others of .he Georgia bench? This i* the remedy: The legislature, not the cabal of Col. Grow*' imagina tion. elects our Judiciary. Send go-id men to the legtstature and our Judgsa will not be spoilsmen hint we will hnve «u> Jeffries on toe bench. The tegua- ture generally does right.

To the Editor of the Telegraph: riense say through the columns of the Tlie Situation at .Fall River, Lowell and New Bedford, Mass. Fall River, Aug. 27.—The Canwii'cnt mill has closed Its gates lndcfiittrly and there no remains but four corpo ration's out of the forty-two that are tuaklug attempts to run their mills. The Fall River Iron Works nnd Baiv, nuby gingham bid fair to continue lu full operation, as they are paying under the old scale. Durfee No. 2 and Sen- connet ore running under tbe new schedule, and predictions aro , freely made today that the help will leave them Wednesday und Friday when they receive their first payments under the 10 per cent, reduction, Tho temper of the Mule Spinners’ Association has changed materially within the past forty-e;ght hours, aud Secretary O'Donnell reports that front talks with many spinners this morning be bus concluded that tho men will not return to work nt tho old rates while cotton and cotton cloth nre quoted at present prices lu tho open market. This attitude Is in direct .opposition to that assumed by tlie Spinuwa’ Association at the meeting held o week ago last Friday night. SJneo that time, however, print cloths have Jumped to 2 3-4 cents and cotton has remained about stationary. Xh.s new stand is of particular importance because Uopo was gaining that certain mills which had signed the manufac turers’ agreement would eventually break away and start nt prices satis factory to tbo spinners nnd carders. An attempt was made to start tho Slobo yarn mtU this morning but card ing room help refused to work at the new rates. They held a meeting and voted to remain avmy from the mlllR while tbo reduced aro offered by tlio management. Secretary Tnrsney Is endeavoring to compromise with Agent Sanford on a 5 per cent, reduction, and lnnaiimch ns -tne (New Bedford yam mills end tlie Kerr thread mills are in operation nt neuriy tbe old rates, be feels very confident of success. Tlie King Phillip strikers met this morning, and some of them who are not In good flir.inctnt slnndtng In tbo union were paid from tbe collections made from the public. The carders aud weavers will bold general meetings tonight. AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. New Bedford.

One year ng'o our wages were reduced 10 to 20 per cent This we quickly accepted. Later in the year the reduction has been large In the weav ing department by the great lengthen ing of cut* wlithout extra pay and by dunging the teylea of cloth. By these unjust means some corporations have further reduced the weavers from 10 to 25 per cent. r l'heae corporations, which are treating the operatives with such oeorn and coretemQt nre nearly all paying their usual dividends, and the stockholders have scarcely suffered at all.

SMALL TWO CHAMPIONS MEET. Griffith of Austria and McAullfTe of Amer ica, Fight Ten Corklni? Rounds. Coney Island, Aug. 27.—Seldom ha« a limited round contest attracted euch a wkle-spread interest ac that tontcht: at the Seaside Athletic Club between Jack McAuliffc and Alfred Griffith, better known as ‘'Young Grlffo," the foxmer, the light weight champion of America, and the latter, the featherweight champi on of Australia. Both men were far be yond the weight limit of their respective classes, but this cut no figure tonight, as the men fought at catch weights ond the contest was decided on Its merits. The Fport began with a wrestling match and two minor boxing contests. John Madden of Brooklyn, beat Connie SulH- van of New York In a six round match and A1 O’Brien of Philadelphia knocked out Charles Burns of Cincinnati in the fourth round. Then came tho btar event of the evening. The seconds were: Ed die Stoddard, Jimmy Oarroli, Jack Shee han and Bennie Murphy for Jack JMcAu- llffe, while the men who looked after Grlffo were Pete Dunne of Sydney, Con RIordan of SanFrancIsco, H. TuthlU of Saginaw and Billy Selleck of New York. Maxey Moore of New York athletic club was refree. Grlffo said he weighed J33 pounds and McAullffe Raid he weighed 140 pounds, but the difference between these weights when they entered the ring, looked very much greater, McAullffe looked fully twenty pounds heavier. First Round.—Both men appeared In tho ring with nothing but blue trunkr. McAullffe led off and planted his left In Griffo’s face. Grlffo retaliated by smash ing Jack on the jaw. McAullffe led and was cleverly stopped and Grlffo swung his right on Jack’s wind. Grlffo won the house by his clever ducking and coun tering. Jack led and landed n wicked left on Grlffo's wind and got a smash on tho Jaw in return for it. The-vast crowd woo yelling themselves hoarse when the gong sounded. \ Second Round.—Grlffo was much more clever than Jack had expected to find him, and his blows were returned with equally good effect. McAullffe did the bulk of the leading. But Grlffo would counter on him every time nnd honors were pretty evenly divided. In fact it was seen that Jack had met his equal In every respect, if not hlfl superior. Third Round.—Grlffo landed when and where he pleased. He hammered Jack with his right nnd left handers and soon had his nose bleeding. Every time Jack led he was met by Grlffot The round ended In Grlffo's favor. Fourth Roud.—MWAullffe led but fell short and landed on Griffo’s apm. Tho Australian forced the fighting arid landed two left handers In rapid succession on McAuliffe’s face, sending him over agulnst the ropes, which he was obliged to grasp to keep from falling. McAullffe did his utmost to land some stiff body punches, but his efforts seemed to be in vain. Grif- fo kept Jabbing his left into MCAullffe’a face and pumping his right into his body. Grlffo had all the best of the round and hit McAullffe as he ploased. Fifth Round.—McAullffe bad clearly met a stiffer and gamer man than he bar gained for. The men continued to smash each other all over the ring. Grlffo clev. erly had all the best of It. He landed his left eha-vlly four times in succession and appeared to have Jack rattled. The round ended as tho others had—In Griffo’s favor. Sixth Round.—McAullffe ruched Grlffo and landed his left with but little effect. Grlffo drove his right into McAuliffe’s ribs with telling effect and smashed him on the mouth with tihe left. Once McAu llffe tried hla rushing tactics, but the blows he delivered seemed to, have but Httleor no effect. Grlffo put a stiff right hander on MctAullffe’s closed eye, and It puffed his cheek considerably. Grlffo was too clever for McAullffe,. who seemed to be making a chopping block of Jack. Jack was slow In oil of his movements and very stale. Seventh Round.—Griffo feinted and landed his left on Jack’s wind and a ment later landed right and left on Jack’s face. Jack rushed and was met hy u straight left from Griffo. Grlffo smashed Jack bn the Jaw several times and Jt looked like all day for Jack. Griffo led for the face and Jack countered with his right, and wus Immediately crossed by Grlffo, who landed twice in succession and forcing Jack around the ring at the call of time. Eighth Round.—The game was much harder than McAullffe had bargained for, and while he tried to rally !n this round, he wus only farming himself out as a punching bag for the Australian. There was scarcely a mark on Griffo, while Jack looked decidedly the worse for wear. The crowd got excited and commenced to coach, some of them telling Jack to str.y away, while others shouted to Grlffo to put him out. Grlffo had all the best of the round and punched McAullffe almost at will. It was a great surprise to McAu- llffe’s admirers. Ninth Round.—This round opened with n rush. Jack sent a corking shot on Grif fo’s Jaw. It was hammer and tongs all over the ring. Grlffo began to hug to avoid punishment. Jack mado play for the wind, but he had waited too long. He ap peared to have gained some of his old time form and went at Grlffo savagely. He fought him all over the ring and Grlf fo began to clinch to avoid punishment. This was Jack’s round and tho referee was kept busy separating them. The round ended In Jack’s favor. Tenth Round.—Tho crowd began to leave the building before the round began. Mc Aullffe opened hostilities by planting his right In Griffo’s stomach. The fighting in this round was of the fiercest nature, but os desperate as McAullffe was, he could not put Grlffo out. Pandemonium reigned when the announcement waa made that the referee had decided Mc Aullffe the winner. Grlffo mode a speech from the stage and said he would fight McAullffe to finish any time he desired to fight.
