DEMOCRATS. DO YOUR DOTY J
There ere 5,000 Democratlo voter*
In Bibb oounty, and every ono ot them
ought to go to Uio pulls today.
For mason* which wo have hereto
fore given, It Is very greatly to be do-
Hired that the Democratlo majority In
Georgia In today's election shall be
very large. We shall not repent thorn
hero, hut they are Important enough
to cause every Democrat to forget any
personal grievance ho may have, or
any dislike bo may entertain for ono
or more candidates on tho ticket
The time la ono In which good Dem
ocrats and good olllzcns should forget
personal considerations nml remember
only tho brood Issue between tho Dem
ocratic nnrt Populist party.
Tho Democratlo party stands for
hornet financial methods and therefore
for tho restoration of tliu contldcuoo
that alono can bring prosperity to tho
country. Tho Populist party stands
for dishonest financial methods, und
therefore for tho continuation nnd In
tensification of the business depression
that hna afflicted (lie country for two
or three years.
In tho presence of this Issue no Dem
ocrat should hesitate to do his duty,
lie should pay not the slightest atten
tion to side Issues, which nro either
uutmporluut or else cun be disposed
of at another time.

MR. WH«S1),N IN LONDON.
Mr. Wilson, duriug nl* brief visit to
London, mudo necenary by Ids ill
health, thought proper to accept an In
vitation to a luikgtct extended him by
tho uicrehnnla of London, In recogni
tion of hi* service* In behalf of coin-
Uicrelal freedom. Tills fact and a brief
alMtmet of Ills remarks on that occa
sion were reported by «Ue. The de
giro of 'tne Loudon merehanls to ex
press their gratitude to Mr. Wilton nml
the latter'* response" nro now tho sub
ject of a great deal of editorial com
ment la tho newspapers. Republicans,
of course, are doing what they can to
mafco It appear that the new tariff D
a British measure, designed In tho in
lefe*u of flat London merchants,. amt
that therefore Mr. Wilson's vts'.t Is of
the nature ot the return to his employ
ers of a faithful servant ami the eon
pl.meiitary banquet hut n do-erri\l re-
want for Ids services. ’Urey proceed
eu the theory that a law which is g
for Englishmen tuu»t be hail for Amer
ican*. We are sorry to --v that aMM
of the Dem.K-r.ulo newspaper*, also,
have It this matter strained an npolo-
getje altitude as ,f Mr. 'WlKm were
guilty of a wrong or Indiscreet act—
seeming to consent that he appeared
before on audience of enemies or ,\mer-
leana for tho purpose of rejoicing w.th
them over an American misfortune.
We do not bollcvo. any apology 1*
necessary whatever. The rejoicing of
Englishmen over the enactmeat of a
new law enlarging commercial lilx-rty
was perfectly natural nnd there la no
reaaon why Americana should not re
joice with them. The profits of the
Increased trade which will result from
that Increase of liberty will bo shared
by all who participate In lt-by Amer
icans at fully as by Englishmen, if
there la no lucres so In trade. It will be
because the trade Is not profitable to
one party or the other, for In the long
run commerce must be profitable or
It will cease, if, a* a remit of the
new law, Englishmen are able to pcotlt-
fcbly sell some bundled* of millions
more of good* to American*, Ameri
can* will also B, ll profitably to Eng
lishmen some hundreds of millions
more of good*. International trade is
In the long rail barter. Balances are
occasionally made good with flic rectal•
by .lyhlch the value of good* Is meas
ured, hut experience shows that these
balance* are flrst on one side and then
on the other, nnd are duo to temporary
conditions. Then why should Ameri
cans not rejoice with the London mer
chant* at the prospect of their selling
to us more goods than they have’ here
tofore soldi It may be answered that
these Englishmen are our enemies ami
that' we ought to make ‘sacrifices
rather than permit them to-make
profits. 115s Is tbo Idea on which
Republican argument fur protection la
largely predicted. But It 1* false.
Politically tho British may be our ri
vals, oven our enemies, but commer
cially, when we are buying from them
and selling to them, they ore / our
friends. We cannot get along without
them. They buy the bulk of our
cotton crop and most of the exporta
ble surplus of our other crops. (Jom-
mercially, they are our best friends,
nnd there 1* no reason why, ns wo
have aalil before, wo should not rejoice
In a prosperity, or the prospect of a
prosperity, flint wo will shore with
them.
Tho ntrength of protection In this
country Is largely baaed on 'a provin
cialism which the Republican party
has sedulously taught to bo patriotism.
It Is tho business of tho Democratic
party to untrach flint teaching. Merc
Jealousy or dislike of foreigners Is not
patriotism. Tho Chinaman Is full or
these qualities—fuller than tho man
of any other nation. Perhaps It was
bred In him through subjection for
generations to tho policy of protection
carried to tho point of absolute noa-
Intcrcourso with nil foreigners. But
nobody who looks nt the state of China
now, beaten nnd badgered by an ene
my who ought to be Insignlllennt, can
hold that the Chinese are patriotic.
Mr. Wilson did well to nttend tho
banquet und he made a speech becom
ing to any patriotic American. When
ho told tho Englishmen present tnn,t
tho relief of tho United States from
tiie hopple of protection mount that In
n short tlmo the London merchants
would meet In nil tho mnrkct* of tlm
world an American competitor, wo be
lieve he spoko tbo truth.
GERMAN Y'lTsENSATION.
When tho Socialist propaganda be
gan In Germany some years ngo its
bent was towards violence. It will bo
remembered that two or more nttumpts
to murder tho old Emperor William
were lundo by men who called tliem-
nclvca Socialists, hut In whoso belief*
uud practices men generally could sec
little difference! from those of Russian,
nihilists. Since flint time, however,
tho Socialists have become so numer
ous ns to ooustltute a great political
parly, ami with this development 1ms
come moderation and a sense or re-
Hponslblllty. Tlio men who lend tho
party, ami jierhaps nearly all the Indi
vidual members, hnvo no purpose ex
cept to gain by peaceful, constitutional
methods tbo instnllatlou of a govern
ment fnshlonvd according to Socialist
theories. They expect to make tho
state everything nud tlio citlxrn noth
ing, but they expect to do no by gain
ing the consent to tbo ohaugo of a ma
jority of Goriunu voters. Tills expect
ation may be ns visionary ns their the
ories, hut so long as It Is held tho So
cialist party of Germany will not in
terfere with the peace and good, order
of society.
In view of the later development—
of the KueeoKS which we have
rllted—It I* easy to understand tUo
enormous sensation erected tu Gee
many by tho arrest of nearly two hun
dred uou-eommiss'.ouvd officers of tho
army, - charged with connection with
tho Anarchist propaganda In Germany.
It lmd becu supposed that anarchism
had been overwhelmed by the ndvnnce
of hoclullsm. and moreover the army Is
looked upon ns the mainstay of , tho

Tho little town of Antrim, N. H.,
whoso population is only 1,000, de
cided a few years ago to enliven Itself
with a village Improvement society,
ami now It has a full supply ot water

A Strong Document in I-’avor of Hon.
John T. Bolfeulllet.
Among the mars of strong evidence
for the defense that was submitted to
the committee that invcMtssted the
charges brought against lion. John T.
Bolfeulllet, was a letter from Ilou. J.
L. Boynton of tjalhoun county, ilr.
Boynton was chairman of the enroll
ment committee of the house during
the oesssuurof 1802 nml lxi«. He is a
lawyer of much ability anil a gentle
man at the highest character.
The oral testimony of the investiga
tion 1* voluminous, ami tbe steno

Dickey. Ga., Sept 8, MW.—Hon.
J. T. Bolfcuifiot, Alncon, (in.—My Dear
Sir: 1 see by the Macon Telegraph of
the Ctb Inst., that In your card to the
public you iinvc been charged with
tampering* with legislative records In
making certain changes in Macon's
new charter. As chairman of the com
mittee on enrollment In the lcg-slature
that passed that bill, and through
whose hands It passed, and In whose
custody it was from the day of Its sig
nature of the speaker of the iior.se to
Its tnuutralwtone to the senate for the
president of that body’s signature, I
desire, unsolicited by you or any one
for you. in simple Justice to yourself,
to say that from the position which 1
occupied In reference to that hill, and
all others that passed tho house of rep
resentatives during the sessions of
1802 nnd 1803, nnd also from the fact
that I had occasion especially to In
vestigate certain alterations which 1
discovered had boon made In the afore
said act after 1 as chairman of the en
rollment committee- had reported to
tho house upon tliu same, I can stato
most positively and absolutely that
oVcry change that was made In tho
engrossed and enrolled bills relative to
Mnoon’a charter, was authorised by this
general assembly. In other words, af
ter the bill had passed the house nnd
transmitted to the senate that body
mnde certain amendments thereto,
which were subsequently adopted by
tho house. The toterltoea,tlons and
erasures that occurred In tho engrossed
niul enrolled bills were made to con
form to the aenate amendments, why
that and nothing more. And the rea
son that said Interlineations nnd eras
ures were allowed to remain In said
bills. Instead of being rewritten nnd nil
amendments Inserted In regular form,
as is customary with uU bills, was be
cause of the great volume of the char
ter and the press of business 'Just nt
the dose of the session, when the hill
was passed. Tn order, therefore, to
nave much labor nnd time, aud ns no
harm was done, save only, perhaps,
such harm us .could be made out of an
interlineation nnd erasure that possi
bly might have been avoided by hav
ing I he clerk to Insert another sheet
dean nnd clear, to "conform to the
mneiulmenrs. As I apprehend that tlio
cause of nil tile racket made concerning
this charter grew out of the Aforesaid
Interlineations and erasures, a mere
presumption that some ono had "tam
pered" wl(h the records, I have in sim
ple Justice to yourself dictated this let
ter, being too sick to wrlto .myseir,
which you can use ns you sec,proper.
I will, ir necessary, make an affidavit
ns to tho facts herein stated. I am,
sir, yuira very truly,
Jett L. Boynton,
l wish to state further that by ref
erence to flie original bill nnd the com
plete records in tlio Macon charter act,
which can be had by application to the
proper officials of the state archives,
•t can be easily nnd readily ascertained
that no “tampering" was done except

authorised by tho legislature in gen

Jerome bore a deserted appearance
for a regular race day. The card, while
light in quantity, was a little better

around which mose interest centered
was the race for the Clermont stake
for 2-year-olils, which was captured iu
good stylo by Kemiet, who was a hot
favorite at the adds of 1 to 3. Shadow

the place. Altogether four favorites
woo today, but as they were top heavy

were not hit hard by the talent

Top-heavy favorites were tne oraer ot

dicted. The market here had been
oversold ami n rally wits natural. Eu
