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 rrs etiop tho head off the Dcinncrat'o ticket amt hy electing nines kill the ring. It ups Ifr. Bamaet AVellcr, wo hcllevo. Who recommended lUBaptta- tlon aa tho Inst remedy for curing n boy of mpilutlng. It strikes us thnt 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 ernor Mr. Graves' ring could not di vide out tho ofllecs lu Gt\>rg;s. Hut then tho hoy would be dead, aud oo would bo tho Ditnocratio thirty in 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 wrecking parly tgid got. tho upper liaml. A lato bulletin of the French labor bureau presents n lamentable picture of the woes that hnvo over taken French Industry. Of the butch ers In the department of tho Seluo 40 per cent, nro out of work, IT per cont, of batten nro Idle, 2.1 per cent, of the metal tvorkers In the department of tho Nonl have not work, SI per cent, of tho operatives In tho woolen mills of La Mnrno are looked out, aud so on 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.

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.

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 STROLLER.

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." Highest of all fa Leavening Power.—Latest U. S.

Judge Illnes Declined a Joint Debate With Mr. Smith nt Elbcrton. Elberton, Sept 30.—(Special.)—tv was a great political day lu Elberton Friday. Secretary Hoke Smith, Jlr. duBignon, Judge Hines and Mr. Wat son were all booked for speeches. 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 the depot by a very large crowd of Democrats with a brass band and es corted nt once to tho opera house, which in n few minute* had. a thous- nnd people Jammed In it, - with hun dreds more trylug to get in. Secretary Smith was Introduced by Col. T. JI. Swift, and for two hours held bis audience spell-bound. He de livered one of the finest speeches ever listened to iu Elberton. It reminded the audience ot the days of Toombs, Stephens aud Uuwcll Cobb. He i.Uiiul 111)* Bepu'ol.eau and Populist parties in a most scathing manner aud gave the Populists especially an un merciful scoring, but In a kindly man ner.

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." A FEW DAYS IN OXFORD.
