THE DEMOCRATS OF B1BB, 4
. The next oontmt between tho Demo
cratic party and tho ooiuttuntlort of
its unemk-e la not far off. It occurs
when tlio congressmen aro noloctetl by
the people on Uio Otli of next month,
mul Hint date la now only four weeks
tn tho future. We wish to Impress
upon tho Democrat* of Bibb county
particularly the neociwlty of biking nn
uctlve tolsrost lu Uihi coni ml. A care
ful callmaife iiimlu by luudlug Demo
cratic au<l UcpubUcun politician*—men
wlio have gone oyer the »llnatlou euro-
fully, dlfftrlct by district—allows that
neither pnrty c«n at thl* time bo cer
tain of it majority In Die next house.
The Democratic hope of having a ma
jority is bused ou tho calculation that
tho Houtli will send up, ni heretofore,
it nearly unanimous Democratic dele
gation. If Unit calculation nlionldiko
blwtvn by the results of the election to
have been erroneous, the Kt'imbUcaus
11 'li ouutral of tho house, or else
that body will bo without a controlling
force, the Populists holding the tint-
once of power. -That tills would bo n
misfortune far the country, as well as
for Ute party, wo think no Democrat
can doubt. It sliould bo cosy to sec,
therefore, tho nbsoluto necessity of tint
Dcmucmtln pnrty mndntnlnlng to Its
full extent its power in the Southern
states. In Uie result of the rocent stato
election there Is n Ibrent that that
power may he seriously shaken, lu
u small vote—llttto more ttmn lialf the
voting strength of Die stato-tho coin-
hiiuttoii of l’opulbita uud Ilepubllcons
secured u umjorlly in many of tlio
countlas nnd In two of tho congress
ional districts of tile state. With tho
encouragement thus afforded them,
Hero Is no saying to wlut extent they
tuny develop their nlrcngth In Ute con
k-motional election. For the tint time
they will lie lighting a hopeful battle.
They have now tlio opportunity to ap
peal successfully to that large class In
the community which Is IndiUcrcut to
tho result of tlio- elections generally,
hut which iff nevertheless open to lu-
llm nces eg the kind which the Popullst-
ltepubliean combination can bring to
Ikvuv
The Importance of Bibb county's
position In the Sixth district nnd In tho
atttto Is very uppercut. Tho Demo
cratic eandltlnte in tills district must
look to Bibb county for tho hulk of
his major!ty—possilily for nil of It
Upon tbo Activity and tntorost of Ullib
county Democrats, tiicreforc, a great
deal depends They can make the elec

Jorlty In congress, Muttons only to,in
crease its sirauglb to the extent that
it may havo tbo power to fully execute
Its will In legislation nnd in gathering
up the spoil* Tho duty of working
nnd voting never pressed more sharply
upon tho Democrats of this county
Ibm it docs now.
PLEASE EXPLAIN.
The Augusta. Herald Rays:
•The Matron Tel.-»;r.u>h puts It In the
mouth, ot the Savannah Pres. to ask the
Herald how much the Democratic mu-
Jorlty wns pulled down in tho Tenth. The
hlgsvst load we-have to carry over here
Is papers like tho Macon lYWrapli, who
nrv nghtlng Dcmocmcy. It our majority
has been pullvd down It Is because so are
etshbcU t>y sllcgcl rrl'-iuis, like tho Ala-
con Telcsiiiph. It the Macon Telettriiph

Well, how much \\ us It pulled down 1
With Uist lufonuatlon iu hand wo wilt
be In better pool Hon "to discuss tho
question which tho llerold raison ot
whethor tho Tdegtuph Is a "toad" on
Um Democracy ot tlto Tenth, a knife
of the Joab pattern In Its ribs, or. In a
general way, nn enemy In tho dlsguUo
ot a friend—all of which tho Herald
seems to charge that it I* The Tele
graph doesn't care to discuss tho ques
tion, and Isn't tho least angry that
each charges should be brought against
it They are too extravagant to bo
seriously consldorea oven by tho Her-
r.td Itself.
But the Telegraph' would hie very
*1—1 If Um Herald would furnish the
Information It seeks. The latter can
do so by answering plainly one or two
slmplo questions: Why It It that in
the congressional . district* where the
Democratic caudidatue and Democratic
newspapviji have adopted the Populist
silver plunk, the Democratic majori
ties have disappeared, or nearly so?
Why 1* It that in the congressional dis
tricts where tho Democratic candidates
and Democratic newspapers have made
the tight for silver on tbo Chicago plat
form, tho Democratic strength remains
practically unimpaired? ,Wo barn our
opinion ns to tlio cause of these phe
nomena, but would like to hoar the
explanation of an intelligent person
who believes that the path to Dctno-
cnxrlo victory lies between the shafts
of Populist spear*
MASSACHUSETTS DEM< JURATS.
Tlio platform adopted l>y the Massa
chusetts Democratic convention we re
gard as tha most radical declaration
of Democratic principles and policy
that has l>eea made during recent
year*. It shows no desire to com pro
mise In the hope of gaining votes, bat,
on the contrary, a delcrmlnation to as
sert Democratic Ideas at whatever cost.
Wo do not hestlmie to soy that we re
gard tho reooluttuos adopted as direct
ly in lino with the traditional beliefs
on public questions of the Democratic
party.
The tariff plank, though adopted In
Massachusetts, ono of the greatest
manufacturing states,,nnd perhaps tho
American birthplace of the policy of
protection, assorts tho principles of a
strictly revenue tariff with an empha
sis that leaves no possibility of doubt
ns to Its weaning. Tbo so-called Dem
ocratic senators who blocked tho pas-
sago of tho Wilson bill are denounced
ns traitors to their party, and It Is de
clared to he tho duly of tho Democratic
party to place every commodity which
can fairly bo described as raw material
upon tho free list, to abolish all duties
which tend to create uud maintain mo
nopolies nnd trusts, and to reduce nil
duties which are prohibitory In effect
The currency plank of the platform,
however, is tha which is likely to at
tract most attention. It li In tho fol
lowing words'.
"Ws reaffirm our attestant. to the great
financial principles which guided Jeffer-
son. Jackson and Decretory Walker: That
It is the sole function of the federal gov,
eminent In monetary matters to provide
a standard of value turd to coin metallic
money, every dollar of which shall be
ot squat Intrinsic value: that nothing but
tills coined money shall be a legal tender,
and that the government shall not carry
on a banking business. We demand that
the untaxed notes of state or national
banks shall be tho only paper money and
that tlw government shall, with the de
velopment ot a bunking system adequate
to the demands of trade, retire as rap
idly as possible all Its legal tender paper
money," ,
It will bo observed that tho Miissn-
chUHoti* Democrats cotnn to the gup-
port of tho Southern nil'll In tho de
mand for tho rtpe&l of tho 10 per cent,
tux on tho issue* of state 1 nuiks. They
do uot demand that naitlounl hanks
shall bo abolished. Ou tho coutrury,
they contomplaio tho possibility that
uathuul banks may t-emalu actively
useful. Hut they also expect that theso
banks ahull stand ou ihe.r merits us
baiditng iiustltuiloiw, without special
privileges granted them by tho govern-
moot Tlio initoxcd notes of state or
national bauks should bo tlto only pa
per money, In tho oplu,t>n ot Masstv
chusotts Democrats, When tilts klud
of currency bus been provided lu ade
quate quautlllcs, they expect that tlto
federal govcriunont will retire from
clivulation Its own oredit notes, and
thus go out of tho banking business.
Tte expression In plain words ot this
Idea on tho currency Is likely to pro
voke a good deal of nbuso front the
pooplo whe tun looking to tlio govern
ment to furnish them with plenty of
cheap money, but It will bo approved
by tho pooplo of tho ultl Democratic
way of ditoklng. Tho greenbacks are
uow necessary only because.the luws
cunctcd by congress prevent tho pooplo
from supplying themselves with a cur
rency Km ter suited to their needs at id
In tho long run safer for the
country. Tho ooiltlmied existence
of greenbacks Is a constant |u-
ccutlve to tho assertion of uunouud
prluelplea of llmuuv. Wo cannot uow
do without tliein, but wo ought to get
ready to' do without them at tho cur
liest possible moment. Wo believe
their Withdrawal Is a hommotf
quettee of tbo repeal of tho 10 per cent,
tux.
The Democrats of Massaclmxatts are
entitled to tho thunks of the party and
of the country for staring their posi
tion on the two loading questions of
public policy so clearly aud boldly.

What at on* time promised to be a se

To add to the horror of the situation,

Ocmulgee.
And right here the peeukerity of the

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
A rent danger ts pointed out by the
Brunswick (Jail. It axys:
“The Eleventh district Republican
congressional com-mmlttee met In Kerd-
vllte's hail. WaycroM, Gi., September
25, UM. Every oounty in the district
was represented. E. R. Betoher, ohnlr-
man, called the meeting to order
promptly ait 11 o'clock. Resolutions In
dorsing tho Republican national plat
form and the platform of the state
convention Iheld in Atlanta, were
adopted. The committee Indorsed
the Populist candidate In Hie Elev
enth district.”
The -above Is from *iii column* of
the Savannah Tribune, the organ of the
Republican party In' that city. It
should be a warning to the Democrats
of the Eleventh district. The tn
dorsement of the Populist ttiadlda'te for
congress means that the Republicans
are belrtg organised to amlst tn the at
tempt to disrupt the Democratic party
In this district. The new Eleventh has
stood strong tn the past and rolled
up a big majority tn the recent eJa'te
qjeotlon. Let the vote not fall short
In the comtrwrNovember contest. Work
bos to be done. Encouraged by their
recent supposed gains, und the prom
ised help of ,the Republicans, the Pop-
. ultsts haw @on« to .work with a vim,
and there should be no let up among
the Democrats .in thetr preparations
to meet the assault that will be made
upon them.
The Mllledgeville Recorder has this
to wiy: -
Baldwin county has gone for Popu
lism.
Let us tn cool sober thought review
the causes and see Where the fault
lies. The sentiment of the people of-
Baldwin is undoubtedly against Popu
lism. In Wednodlay's election the
Democratic nominees were defeated by
only eight votes. •
The Democrats two now thoroughly
acquainted with the strength of the
owner party, for there Is no doubt that
thetr full vote was 'polled last Wednes
day. HheTe were 100 registered voters
who Old not vote, and it ts reasonable
Do suppose that a majority of them
were Democrats. The Democratic par
ly of old Baldwin hits been taught a
severe lesson: a lesson from which we
'beWeve tt -will profit.. Let ua arouse
ourselves and go to work, and In the
congressional election, os far a* possi
ble. redeem old Baldwin.
Cot. John Triplett of the Thomas-
vtn# Tlmes-Hnterprise talks sense to
the Democrats in this wise:
The correct thing for the Democrats
of Georgia to do ts to quit quarrelling
over what caused the ktbe falling off
in iths vote and go to work and ever-
kisttngly flay cho third partyltes in the
oongrcaslonn! elections. That's Just
What wo «ve going to do down here in
the Second.
This paragraph from the Covington
Star breuitlhcs the right spirit and is
applicable to every district in the
•tnte:
We must, fbereCore, "keep our armor
buckled on, our Shields brightly hur
rah,-d, and our Democratic powder
dry,” In order that wc may add on-
other victory tri our party record for
ISM.
It is hard to phase the Georgia.edi
tor. While a few of our esteemed con
temporaries are assigning one cause
or another for the reduced Democratic
majority, most of them are calling on
t*ie Democratic hosts *0 gird up their
loins, and on November fl show the
Populists what a good oM-rashloned
Georgia majority looks like. ' ,
THE REASON.
From the Mll'.edgevUle Bee.
The Atlanta Connfltutton In endeavor-
log Ho explain the Democratic filling
off. in the recent election, shoots w-ldo
of the mark.
■ If the Constitution wlK be s.'lll about
five minutes the Res will explain why
Mr. Atklneon's majority was 30.000 In
stead of »0,000.
During the contest for the nomina
tion, the Constitution mode a cowardly
fight on Bill Atkinson—oawardly tn the
diet rhit tt abused and falsified and
misrepresented him.
For weeks, day after day, the Consti
tution's columns bristled with the un
true statements -that Mr. Atklns-n was
fighting Altbiva; that he had slapped
the Confederate soldier In the face
on every stump tn the state: that n
political ring had been formed of the
Ju Ik-lnry and prominent Vtktn-on men.
for tbe purpose of controlling o-.ate pol-
fries and parcelling out the olfl-ea for
years to come:, that Atkinson had sto
len and bought oount'es. WiFi the help
of the ting, wnd OK Wls revnlnnUon
would not mean the will of the people,
but Ho* rule.
Set on by the Constitution, the most
bitter personal fight that ihas ever bf'en
nxitte between Democrats In Georgta.
was made on Otr. Atkinson.

after the rain.
Quickly, quickly fell the rain drops
From the clouds of sombre gray.
While the mist, a veil of water.
Hid the mountains o'er the way.
I had wished to vain for sunshine.
All the livelong summer day:
Nature s frown would not be banished
Nor her tears be brushed away.
Hut at last the clouds teemed breaking:
Pattering rain drops ceased to fall,
And the setting sun resplendent
Shone behind old Yonah tall.
Clouds which Just before seemed leaden
Slowly, softly changed their hue
To bright rose and lilac color*
Bounded by the darker blue.
And the sun, like old King Midis,
With the self-same greed of old.
Touched them with his magic Angers,
Adding rims of shining gold.
Just so ■ superstitious darkness
And the clouds of Ignorance
Are dispelled to quick succession.
By truth’s earnest, piercing glance.
We may learn from dll a lesson
If we read the scene nrlght;
Sorrows will not last forever,
Gloom must sometime change to llshu
Life's dark clouds will be forgotten
All our troubles fly away.
While the sun will shine forever ,
In the bright eternal day.
