Uiat the clialrtuau of the executive
committee of the Kolb uud Populist
parties m Alabama bad Issued a call
for it uonvcutlon, :o meat lu Mont,
poiucry the day before lb* mewing of
the legislature. Tito dispatch' went oa
to say that the ptirprse of the conven
tion was probably to sot up an oppo
sition legislature, which Would declare
Kolb governor nnd elect a United
Wales senator to succeed Mr. Morgan,
We Unit lu the Watchman, thu national
organ of the Populist party, tbo fol
lowing editorial jniagripli:
“It tu -lu-v units certain that thu Fojm-
lists of Alabama will convene - a legisla
ture, Inaugurate Mr. Ku)b as governor,
<md than elect a senator. After this action
It may or may not tuUourn. A contest

ever the Democracy may choose to sue-

Infamous methods hy which ths South Is
hoM solid wall be exposed to the Just
condemnation of the public. Such action
scorns nocewucy In order to hreuk up the
present whuleaole debauchery ot the but
lot |n. tMkt slate."
The" surmleo ot die illspdtch writer
seems, therefore, t ■ be correct. A rev
olulluu will he attempted. A lot of
men, with no standing whatever before
tho law, will meet :n Montgomery, ar
rogate to dieutecltvs tho r,ghts ot n
legislature, and possibly undertake to
govern tho stair. Probably, however,
they will go no further than to tabu
tile action suggested and adjourn. It
so, Kolb would not be governor and
the person sleeted senator would lmvo
only tho chance of getting a seat In
Die senate that the IWpubllenus, should
they have a majority after March 1,
might ho gdrroruod entirely by punt-
nan hatred of tho Demis-rats. If this
sltouhl lie the e.vleu: of the conven
tion's proceedings, It would amount to
nothing tuoro tha t a somewhat rldleu
huts pretest, to which nobody ueetl pay
tiny particular at'eutl-m. If, however,
an attempt should ho made by this
tuob of defeated uud disgruntled poll-
tloluus to usurp llio powers of tho
state government, it will bo the duty
of the regular government to teach
them a very severe lesson. P'ortunuto-
ly. tho governor now la office and tho
governur-oli-ct ur-v toon of decision nnd
force of otmrnu'or. and will not bo
afraid to do their duty; As wo seo It,
that duty demands tlmt the stile au
thorities seise them, put them In Ja-.l
and spiVsllly try them for their crime.
There is a great deal of liberty in this
country, but there ought not to bo lib
erty enough to allow political Adven
turers defeated by tty) people to safely
undertake Iho l.tsk of establishing
tlu-mselves In power by forct-. Tho
force ought to be on the other side—

BACON AND THE SEXATOItSIIIP.
It aecma to ho certain that tho nom
ination of David B. Hill as the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor of New
York was not done In pursuance of n
prenmtnged programme, us lias been
Charged by some of hi* enemies. Tho
Now York Herald says:
"Senator Davkl B Hill, nominated yea
tor-day tor governor by force, was dis
posed to think today when he heard tho
epubtlcvin cry of 'put up Job!" that insult
was lining added to Injury.
“HOI is the moot unhappy man t« tho
atste today. He did not dream that such
a demonstration as he was forced to con
front In Saratoga yesterday afternoon
would ho made, and be was positive when
ho called tho convention to order for the,
second and last session that John Boyd
Tnacher would be the candidate.
"Almost overcome with rage and chi-
gntn as tie was last night, he came down
to his law office In Broadway today with
the air of a man who had determined to
accept the Inevitable.
"The senator has received hundreds of
telegnuna today from enthusiastic friends
anil from former political opponents urg
ing btm to accept the nomination and
pledging him their support. These would
make him feel easier In hts mind It tho
convention hod acted differently and lmd
followed his advice In the matter or a-
milling she Sheppard Democracy of King*
county, the State Democracy of New
York city and the other anti-snapper del-
•gstlons.
"Ths selfishness and llllberollty of the
already discredited and disorganised rings
of Now -York anl Brooklyn In Ignoring
Hill's advice to admit the rival organi
zation. and then Insisting that Hill should
shoulder not only the dead weight ot the
party, but thetr own sins In addition, are
the most exasperating part of tne whole
business In the eyes of Hill and hts well
wishers."
It looks ns If 11111 wore the victim ot
the machine of which ho has so long
been the eugUu-cr. It rau away with
him. But however Into this mhj bo,
wo expect him to make ft tremendous
fight fur election, lie has numerous
and bitter euaulet ami the party Is In
bad condition la New York, but ho
will win If courage nnd marvellous
skill as a politician make success pos
sible. All his skill will be necessary
lo bring about any tiling llko harmony
In the discordant elements of the par
ty, some of wlilctt liato him oven more
than they love tho party.
Qovenor McKinley said In his speech
at Indlnnapolls; “Our money Is nil
good, whether It bo gold or silver,
whether It be -national bank notes or
greenbacks, or treasury notes, or gold
or silver certificates—every doUnr
good.' To get the money out amongst
tho people Is the serious problem to
day. To do this wc must not ouly have
something to sell, but bo able to find
something to buy. No matter what
we Uavo to sell, If there Is Is nobody
to buy, who wants It'i \Ve must keep
It, If we nre compelled to Keep it wo
aufTer tbo loss In whole or In part of
‘what It coats us to produce It.”
Tills, ns tho Calves ten News says, Is
unanswerable free trade argument.
What the country warns Is customer*.
Customers the world over who arc
ready to trado for aud to consume our
rarplus agricultural and other products.
Strange as it may norm. Coventor
McKinley proceeds to hold Inst tho
woj to secure custom‘t* Is to exclude
them from tho country by high pw-
tecUve barriers.
TUl-i STATE CAMPAICN.
Tho llainbridge Democrat puts tho
whole thing in a nutshell a* follows:
"Last week Arkansas went Demo
cratic with Increased majority, aud
Vermont wont Republican with law
majority. This week Maine went Be-
puWedu overwhelmingly. The Peo
ple** party hid tickets In alt three
state* ami wen nothing. Bo you see It
is the Democratic of Republican patty
that will rule. Ch-uuo ye. The Popu
list* are losing ground everywhere."
There ought to be no fear on the
part of (ho Populists that thoie plat
form will be stolen. Nobody rise
want* It. A real danger, however. 1*
thu* pointed out by the Harmony
Drove Echo:
“Cob Mabaffey seem* to be terribly
bothered and afraid Democrats w'.U

Hu- Telegraph is always uctuated by
what It believes w.ll beat serve the In
terest* of the people of Georgia. It
lias generally found that Its course 1ms
been approved by the people whom 11
servo, In the senatorial race Us sup
port of Mnj. A. O. Bacon for the seat
now occupied hy Hon. Patrick Wa'sh
Is duo solely to thy fact tlmt, in ,ts
opinion, Mu.J. Bacon Is the best fitted
man now before the people to repre
sent the state of Georgia In the upper
house ot tile American congress.
It is always gratifying to have good
company, and the Telegraph congrat
ulates Itself that It lias ns Us cornpun-
loua such staunch hackers among the
weekly press of ilm shite.
That hard fighting Democratic paper,
the Gainesville Eagle, which represents
the sentiment of the rock ribbed Dem
ocracy of the mountains tf Hall, lu
speaking of the senatorial race, says;
"We believe if the selection
United States senator were left to a
direct vote of the people of Georgia
lion. A. O. Bacon would bo their choice
hy an overwhelming majority., As it
Is, we believe Uu will be elected by tho
legislature on tho ilrnt ballot. All his
opponents freely admit that he will
liuvo u very decided lead over any
oilier candidate. Wu have not the
slightest doubt of his election, because
the people of Georgia want him—not
file politicians, but tho people. A very
large majority of thu legislative nomi
nees—five to one at least-who have
received instructions from their couaty
mass meetings have been directed to
vote for MaJ. Bacon for United States
senator.
"This shows llio drift of tliiugs—It
shows that the people are for him.
“If hy any cbauc; he should lie de
feated, It will bo by politicians, by
log-rolling uud chicanery. MaJ. Bacon
Is not an adept in these raetnods. Ho
Is above them. <Ie Is sincere and can
did uud the soul ot honor, and Is tun
ning solely on his merits ns a states
man ami a true uud tried patr.ot, who
has never shirked a 'duty to his state
ami hts people.
"When Maj. Bacon, spoke tu Mon-
tlccllo, Jasper county, Tuesday, tho
meeting reversed tfio-r former indorse
ment of Judge Turner and ovi^tvlu-lin-
Ingly instructed for tlm statesman from
Bllib. This shows tho impression ho
ireates among the people.”
Brother Barney of the Dawson News
Is n man of convictions and never hes
itates to talk out In meeting. 11c shores
what tho people of southeast Georgia,
are doing towards having the right-
mau in the statute. He says:
“Tlie Albany Herald, which wants
to sc© Congressman Turner elected to.
two high offices on the saute day, says
tlie not overly modest candidate will
get forty or more of the forty-seven
votes In tho Second nnd Eleventh con
gressional districts for senator. -Our
esteemed neighbor should bo n littlo
mere careful with its figures. In the
Second district, which Is claimed to bo
Mr. Turner's stronghold, Maj. Bacon
will certainly get nine, or nearly one-
half, of the votes, while la tbo Elev
enth dlstrlot several representatives
ituil senator* havo been Instructed for
him. .Mr. Turner will lack ti good tbial
of gettiug tho solid vote of these two
districts, and outside of tbmu the Nows
doesn’t believe bo will bo known In tho
race.”
Tho Alpharetta Free Tress, printed
up In Milton, hns been doing yeoman's
service for Democracy in this cam
paign, and It tells how the good pcoplo
of that section-tre feeling:
“Hon. A .0. Bacon," it says, “Is gain
ing ground every Tiy In his race for
me senate. He ,s the man for tho
place and will 'get there, EU.’ Watch
him.”
The splendid work which Mnj. Baron
has boon doing during this cnmmpalgn
is appreciated in the win-grass, Here's
what the Statesboro Star says about It:
"Hon. A. O. llaceu Is doing somo

Hazleliurat, Sep'. 20.—(Special.')—
Hon. IV. S. Humphrey* of (Juluu.m
made a raiding good Dewocrat.c
speech here today to a large crowd of
euthusicstlc Democrats, FopulWta and
lb-puUlicaus. It is said to be one of
the best political speeches ever deliv
ered'at Huzleliuist.
He devoted most of his time to the
senate tariff bill, being very explicit
upon this subject as well as others,
aud showed the people what a benefit
this bill had already been to them. He
aLso clearly exposed the fnllac.es of
the third party, putting them In a very
bad light nnd proved that Watson and
Hines were traitors to their own party.
Mr. Humphreys Is a forcible speaker
and made a good Impression* upon tbo
lu-ople here. He also did a * vast
amount of good for the Democratic
party, as evidence has already shown
many converts to the Democratic par
ty by bis speech.

Rev. H. D. Stinson, a colored Meth

HELP THE OLD CONFEDERATES.
TV) the Kilter ot th. Telegraph: There
are many of our comrades who were
not technically "disabled or Injured in
the •ervlce” -that are today In want,
and many bf these ere permanently de
crepit because of hardships endured In
defense of -their homes and -the ttoi*>r
of their state. I feel quite sure that
many of these rendered equal services,
and are now In equal need, and are
fully enttlUed to equal consideration
at the hands of the state, and I trust It
will be a pleasure to the people of Qeor-
gU to vote for that one bf the pending
auwndnwhU to our etate constitution
which orovidre that eeetlon I, article",
paragraph I., be so altered as to confer
upon tbe legislature the power to make
suitable provision tor those of our com
rades who. by reason of age and pov
erty. complaints and tnflrmttles of vari
ous kinds, are unable to proeure a liv
ing for themselves.
All true patriots, all reel lovers ot the
Loot Cause, will recognise In this
amendment a step In the direction or a
proper discharge of the state’s real ob
ligation to the Confederate heroes, and
which can never be made -until such leg
islation will b» had aa will not only se
cure ita every Confederate soldier whoso
career during hie service was an honor
able one security trim suffering be
cause ot his poverty and infirmities.
These men should be tdaeed upon e par
with the disabled Ooufederstea who are
now drawing pensions. This Is no
charity, but the simple payment of a
debt due to those who went to tbe
front to defend Georgia's rights, to pay
a lust due to those who. through
wounds or dlmbfilttse or poverty, are
unable to provide for their own main
tenance. A very few year* hence, end
there will be no survlvora ot the glo
rious Lost Caua. All are growing old,
and sosn. ia the course of nature, we
must ail sleep with our brave brethren
who perished on the batUedeM or died
In camp or hospital of woumb or dis
ease. Let no one forget to vote for this
amendment to the constitution at the
efectfen next Wednesday.
