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 tion of the Demur.ratio cnudldato cer tain, by a majority so large that his real oontmt with n show of reason bo contestis], or they con by neglect and tndlffenooe leave tbelr repreeonlntlvn nt the mercy of tv uarrow, iiactlsau urn- 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.

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. A USEFUL INVENTION. I'rom the Now York Evening Time*. A young woman to Georgia, who has a turn for mechanics, has Invented a Wonderful trunk.

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.

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.

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.
