J1AJ. BACON'S APPOINTMENTS,
Dalton. Monday, October 1,
Carrollton, Tuesday, October 1!.
TWO REMEDIES.
Mr, John Teinplo Graven hna written
nuotber letter on tlio political situation,
much of which scorns to t>» given up
to expression of bla indignation that
n former letter written hy him did not
receive the attention which he thought
It deserved. We say seems because
Mr. 0raves orates rather than write*
with Ills pen, and Ills earn to innko his
sontonees round nnd full of nicely
Hounding word* leaves Ids motives and
purposes simiewlint olwcure. Ills let
ter suggests tlio work of the potter,
who makes Ids mint go a long way In
fashioning vessels which may bo art
istically beautiful hut which, never-
thdess, nro chiefly remarkable for
llielr hollowness.
As wo understand tho situation, Mr.
Graves has an Idea that there Is n po
litical ring In Georgia, nuit is angry
becauso tho ring will not pay any at
tention to hhn. no oven thinks the
ring Insults the p^oplo of Georgia -by
Its refusal to talk back nt him. In al
lowing Ids angry passions to rtso It
seems to its thnt Mr. Graves makes a
mistake and violates all tho proprie
ties of tho occasion. Many men hnvo
challenged spectres before nnd received
no answer, but wo havo never heard
of mio Incoming angry under such olr-
cunutbinocs. Tho regulation thing to
Bo Is to bceomo terribly frlgldt-ncd,
nnd to atnml with slinking legs and
ludr on mul until tho dreadful thing
Ims faded from tho beholder's disor
dered vlstm. Wo recommend tlio flrat
ant of Ilamtol to Air. Graves ns con
taining a useful lesson on how n prince
should treat a ghost.
But If Mr. Graves' preliminary re
marks nro somcwluit oritund nnd indc-
lermlnnte, tho advice ho gives w tlio
. voters of Georgia la his closing para,
graph in sliort and sharp enough to
hiret nil roqtdremonts. It la that vot

tlon aa tho Inst remedy for curing n

Mr. Welter, ns a. physician, and Mr.
Graves, as a stnhwnum, stand shout
on a lord with oacb other. Mr. Wel
ler was consciously humorous, stud
Mi. Graves u not, but that dUtcKBC*
does not affoct tho. valuo of their re
spective remedies, hotli of which are
"sure cures." Mr. Weller's boy cer
tainly could not squint after hts bend
Was cut off, and If lllnes were gov

then tho hoy would be dead, aud oo

Georgia—or very near It.
EVERY
DEMOCRAT
VOTE.
SHOULD
Tho Democratic campaign for votes
tn this slat* baa dosed, and nothin
remain* but for tho citizens to deposit
their ballota. Tint campaign has been
uoergotlcnlly and, we thluk, skillfully
conducted. Mue|t, interest hoi *wn
developed, but we hare seen llttlo
deuce of bitterness, and It has been
tm almost "wholly clean campaign.
Near the oral only was aw attempt
made to inject personal Issues.
The DetuocreUo party will wtn. of
course. Tho party Is not lu entire no
coni uo certain questions of national
policy, but tho good eon-o of Demo
crats will show them that tlireo issues
are oat Involved In tho oleettou of nest
Wednesday. except that n great falling
off in the Democratic majority might
deepen the fear that the flgores of the
Populist phantasmagoria may become
•omcfhlag more real than shadows.
It Ip this dancer which ought to
draw Democrats unaulmotpdy to the
polls next Wednesday. The country
Is Just'rccoverlng from one of the
wont panics In Its history. There Ui
a wofid luck of eoiifldenco la the fu
ture among business men. They are
afraid to venture their capital in new
enterprises nnd take the smallest risks
possible tn carrying oa those already
established. Tim country suffers from
tlielr lack of confidence, and will con
tinue to do so until they again feci
safo In using tbHr capital.
Populism Is war oo capital. The
parpoeu of the party is to prevent cap
ital from being used profitably. It
proceeds on the theory thautho earn
ings of capital are pio proceeds of rob
bery. It will, if it can, coutucatu
wholly or In pan capital loaned by
one person to anotlicr—and It will do
this not less apparently because doing
It Indirectly and under ilia guise of
du.ug something else.
If tlm elec thro la Georgia were to
show, therefore, a great increase tn
Hie Populist strength, the practical ef
fect oo the business of the country
would be bad. That result would bo
interpreted as meaning, flrat, an In
creased danger of I’opullat predomi
nance In tho government, and, second,
that the people of Georgia, sympathis
ing with tho Populist warfare on capi
tal, desired to get rid of their debts by
rcpudlathig them In whole or In part.
Tlio prosperity of no country Is so
vigorous that It can withstand tlio
threat of confiscation of property by
tho government. When that threat la
directed ouly against tho easily trans-
nnd industrial enterprises of a country
are carried on, it is Just as disastrous
If. Its effects os If directed against tho
whole body of property. Perhaps
more so, for tho reason tnat property
In that form Is moat Open to insidious
attack and Is most dependent for Its
safety upon the good faith nnd hon
esty of men.
Every Democrat should go to tho
polls next Wednesday, no matter how
great the cost to him lu trouble or ex
pense. Ho will not only he voting to
keep hla party In power, but to re
lieve his oountry of a cold fog of dis
trust that chills and blinds Its imople.
Tho French protection tuts are now
very much In tho position thnt oura
would luivo boon in If they had carried
tho election of 1802 aud hud liml to ex
plain the business depression with n
high tariff still In tho hands of Its
friends, tho New York Evening Post
thinks. Protection lias had free
course lu France and been glorified,
yet foreign ootnmerco has fallen off
disastrously, factories have been shut
up, wages reduced Just ns it & tariff

labor bureau presents n lamentable
picture of the woes that hnvo over

through n portentous list. Now what
doe* the French MoKfnlcy, M. Mellle.
say to tills? Just what tits noble Amer
ican brother would have said under
llko clrmmstanecs—that Is, ho call* for
more protection. The duties he bad
put on were high enough for the time,
but tho wicked foreigners had got
aroma! them, and now they have ceased
to bo “mloqualo” nnd must ho shoved
up n few more notches. But there are
signs that tilts sort of talk Is becoming
wearisome tn Franco also. There Is
already a powerful movement to re
store reciprocity with Swltxcrhuid, mid
lu many other ways tho free traders
sis) cause for ouocuragcmeut.
The Kn teuton Messenger makes this
complaint:
“A good many people would like to
sre> better railroad connection between
Kntonton and Macon. Our people have
considerable business lu Jlacou. They
can get to that city only liy walling
two lx sirs nt Maclicn or three nt Mil-
hxli.vv.lle. Hemming, they must watt
tbreo hours at MUlolgeviUc" for tho 1
o'clock train, or spend tlio night tin re
and take tho 7 a. m. train; or they
must wait alx hours In Machou. They
must spend two nights away from
home to bo ooo day tn Maeoo.”
The same Is true of oilier schedules
lato Jlaoon. Tho OiPlral City misses
a good deal of trade through tho Ina
bility of her natural customers to get
hero without wasting too much (Jut*.
We bidlovo if a concerted movement
was made hy our merolunts to have
this evil remedied that tho railroads
would bo convinced of tho Justice of
our claims and Lake measure* to trout
Macon with fairness In tills matter.
Why should any man live on tile
high-priced lands ot tho Northwest,
suhject to forest Arcs, cyclones and
blizzards, when the South's doors are
open and a conllnl welcome awaits
him? pertinently asks tho Savannah
Picks.
There is Just one mason. Georgia
offers cheap lands, almost certain
crops, fins market*, alt the advantage*
of adranced clvlltaatiwi and a climate
unsurpassed In the world. Pnfurtun-'

Ring-
Genial Trox Bankston of tii
: >ld New South says:
"Catoosa county will go to tbo At
lanta exposition with a display of her
wonderful resources and then people
will begin to realize bow much wealm
there Is hidden In oar mounts.ns.
There Is no limit to tho variety of pro
ducts which will grow la our fertile

IVe ore glad Catoosa will be repre
sented tn Atlanta next year. But we
would coll Brother Bankston's atten
tion to the fact ili.it Macon has a big
fair tills year and the latch string Is
out for Catoosa and every other county
In north Georgia. Coma down and
we'll make it pleasant for you.
The managers of the campaign in
Bibb county hare done all that could
liaro been done. The question of pil
ing up a big majority for Mr. Atli.oaou
and tlio whole state and legislative
ticket depends on tho people now.
Every Democrat should feel that it de
pends on bis efforts to swell the ma
jority to tho figure the Democracy of
tlio state lips a right to expect from
Bibb county.
Be ready to give as much -as you
can whoa the finance committee of
the Democratic campaign committee
calls on you. It takes money to run
a campaign, and every good citizen Is
Interested In Democratic success next
Wednesday.
No mao who refrains from voting
Wednesday has any right to complain
if tho government is not run to suit
hhn.
No Democrat can afford to stay
at homo Wednesday. Personal mat
ters should bo laid aside for tho wel
fare of the state.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
The weekly newspaper* of the state
are making a red hot flgh* for Democ
racy. The Telegraph reprints some of
the good advice thev are giving -to the
vatern and says amen to It.
The Gwinnett Hirald sounds the key
note of success Wednesday In these
WOrttM . ... .
•'Let every Democrat feci that he
owes It as a duty to his country -to cast
his ballot for -what he believes the In
terest of the country demands. If you
ore convinced .that your party U right
then vote for your convictions. You
can afford to lose one day fibm your
farm and shop, your office or your store
to maintain good government. Under
Democratic rule you know what to ex
pect: when a new curly, comes In to.
experiment In untried theories anil vis
ionary schemes you cannnt tell what a
day may bring forth."
The reason why every Democrat
should go to the potia day after to
morrow'are tersely set forth by '.he
Marion County Patriot. It says:
If yo'i are In favor of a centralized
government: If you are in favor of class
legislation, to benefit one class at the
expense of another: If you are In fivur
of heaping upon "this government a debt
running away uo In the pillions, and
whloh would bankruot any government
in -the world, vote the Populist ticket.
But. on the other hand. It you are In
favor of a government such as our fore
fathers designed, a government by the
people and for the people, a govern
ment In favor of equal rights to all nnd
special privileges to none, an economi
cal government with low taxes, then
vote tho Democratic tiekdt."
In the eime line Is this bit of truth
from -the iMarletia. Journal:
Every Democrat who refuses to vote
consents for tho Poouliots to go Into
power In Georgia. Go to the ballot box
next Wednesday and enter your protest
against It by a freeman's ballot."

With Mr. Smith nt Elbcrton.
Elberton, Sept 30.—(Special.)—tv
was a great political day lu Elberton
Friday. Secretary Hoke Smith, Jlr.

Early in the morning tbe Populists be
gan to arrive and before noon every
member of 'the party In the county
and hundreds from adjoining counties
were In tho town. The Democrats were
also out In full force.
An effort was made by tbe Demo
crats to have a Joint discussion, but
the Populists declined. Just before
noon Judge Hines arrived and was
escorted by his followers to a grove
bait a mile from town. A telegram
was received from Secretary Smith
stating thnt'bo hud missed the train,
but would come un a special. At 2
o'clock he arrived aud was met

Democrats with a brass band and es
corted nt once to tho opera house,
which in n few minute* had. a thous-

dreds more trylug to get in.
Secretary Smith was Introduced by
Col. T. JI. Swift, and for two hours

Journal, after a careful study of the
financial proposition* of the l'opultiu,
prop-)*)* thl* as a settlement of tile
whole tln-.mcl.il problem:
"Be It enacted bv the house of repre
sent ttlvea. she senate concurring, that
the promissory nates.of every Individ-
u»l shall be ft legal tender for nil debts
both public otul private." This ts better
than the Populist plan—the more ' 0U
Populists ithlnk about this plan the
more you wHl like It. The only trouble
with It Is that nobody would have your
note."
It's a hard thing to pihree a good
Democratic editor. Witness this from
the Asbbura Advance:
"A third party man sold Saturday
that he was golnar to put us on Jeffrey's
flag pole. If he does we will do what
their candidates are. going to do naxt
Thursday—we will come down."
