Tula legislative OAuepa.
tfho rail signed by Messrs. Clay and
j 'Ilerncr makes It certain that there will
bo a caucus of tbo Democratic mem
bers of the legislature. Wo say cer
tain, ltecauso tlio necessity of n catena
seems to us so plain tliat when ,j1k>
Democratic members meet In confer
ence they canuot escape ordering one.
In this eonneettou, Governor]NortUon
la Quoted ns saying tlmt hiyfblnks iiotn-
Illations should bo made/by more titan

cus—by a two-thirds vote; or sotno such
proportion. Tbo bfl» seems to bo that

wltolo logmlntufa and a nomination by
the caucus Would bn equivalent to ntt
election, therefor* *uoinliiallous by u
innjorlty'voto In tbo caucus would
tnc.in,tint less (ban a majority of tbo
loglsluturo elected senators nud other
officials. In a certain sense, tills la
True, but bclug true, it is not of tbo
/sllghtsst practical Importance. Tbo
lOti Democratic members are tbo leg
islature, to ull Intents ttnd purposes.
They aro tho Dcmocralto party in tbo
legelnturo, nud they will bo bold
Blrlolly responsible by tlio party and
by’the whole peoplo of tbo statu for
uvery single act of tha legislature.
Their responsibility will bu slutted In
no degreo by tlto l’opulist mtiiorlty.
Their responsibility could not bo ntoro
complete If they bold every seat In
both houses and weru tints entirely
without opposition. Nobody will die-
puto tbo truth of this statement. It Is
of the very essence of party govern
ment that tlio party In majority shall
bo responsible and tbo party In minori
ty frco of all responsibility
for tbo acts of tlto governing body.
,\Vhun, therefore. Governor Xortlieii
rays that mere than a majority of tho
voles In tlio caucus should bo required
to mako a nomination, be la proceeding
on a false theory. Tho ldd votes In
tlto caucus being tbs wltolo party lu
tbo legislature, a majority bf tlmt num
ber only should be necessary to nomi
nate. Tbo question whether tlto 100
properly represent the party,., or rep
resent It fully enough, Is qulto another
matter. If it bo held that they do
not fully represent It; that there ts a
chance that it majority of tho ICO
would not voice the opinions of a ma
jority of the party, then tbo remedy ts
not to giro additional power to the mi
nority in tho caucus, but to Increase
the representation of the party In tbo
caucus, itiore Is no precedent that wo
know of for such a step, Precedent
Is entirely in favor of the majority
nominating. But If the point were In
sisted upon that tilts majority may,
aftiT all, represent tho minority of tLe
party, why not call Into tho caucus the
legislative notuluecs of tho party who
tvero defeated In the elections? Tho
chosen xcprObenuUvcs of tho party,
who could speak for It with authority,
would then all bo present. Tho caucus
would bo rnado up of the men that
would havo appeared lu tho legisla
ture If the Democratic parly had been
successful In every county. No fuller
representation of the party in dealing
with the questions which the caucus
must meet la possIDle, and certainly a
full representation of tho party liy the
men chosen regularly to servo it In tho
very capacity in which they would
then be acting is to lie preferred to a
body, not fully representative, but 1 In
which a minority barely large.- those
one-third would be ablo to block the
will of the majority of the caucus, and
almost Infallibly of the party. Thepo
U not the slightest (Qsrtnbt* that a
nomination reached by n two-thlnls
majority would be tbe choice of tbo
party (is a whole, or even of n raajorl-
. ty of the party. ITi'e probabilities aro
all the other way.. Nominations would
go, as experience has shown, not to
the men who fought tlto party's bat'
ties, not to aggressive, strong men, but
to commonplace, Inoffensive, Indiffer
ent men, who In failing to be aggres
sive In their own cr tbe party's inter
ests, also failed to make enemies. The
whole tendency of tho two-thirds rule
Is to eliminate big men sol elect email
ones to offices which they could Dot
win by thtlr own strength, but which
may come to them under such circum
stances because they bavo been offen
sive to nobody.
Governor Northen's suggestion, It
seems to us, ought to be rejected. Jn
Operation, It.would not conduce to the
harmony of tha party, nor would It
assure tho majority In their right to
govern. It would merely strengthen
the bands of obstructionists and smooth
the piths of Incompetent men.
draw Tin-: party lines.
The legislature Is about to meet anil
It will have before It many important
questions. For tho first time tn many
years the Dciuocr.itlo party !n that
body will find itself faced by n minori
ty considerable in numbers mid pcfhap*
aggresslvo In temper. Tho Democratic
majority Is still largo—largo/ enough
to enable tho party to d» anything
which It may unitedly'" desiro to do.
But If there Is Qivlsjgh la the party, It
will frequently occur thnt the Popu
list minority wfu hold tho balnnco of
power and -th this way will legislate
for tbo slffte. Wo think this would bo
very unfortiinnto for tlto state and for
the/ Democratic party. There Is do
ter way to treat that minority‘than
to reduce It to utter helplessness. This
can l>o done easily If Democrats will
merely submit to a proper discipline.
The Populists tiro respmiattifo for the
division of Georgia white people Into
hostile parties. They are fiercely hos
tile to iho old party. They Insist upon
drawing tho party lines at all times
and In all places./ They have no right
to ootnplnin, therefore, If In the legis
lature tlto D/aiocratlc majority acts In
a purely p’T'tlsan manner, if In so do
ing It dt>w not .deny tho rights of nny
cltlzou. It will bo denying no right
to ^citizen if, actlug strictly ns Dem
ocrats, as partisans, they make It Im
possible for tho Populists, ns a wltolo
or as Individuals, to take any effective
part In legislation at this sessbu. If
such a policy were agreed upon nnd
enforced by the majority, tlto Popu
lists might complain that II was un
kind, They could not say that tt was
unjust, If they took into account all
their own course outside of tho legisla
ture. Wo ltopo ourselves tlutt somo
such rule will bo adopted; that this
Dcmocratio legislature will recognise
front the very start that It Is acting In
tlio face of bitter and Implacable po
litical enemies, wffo must be treated
like enemies.
THE SUSPENDED ORDINANCE.
The act of tho city council iu sus
pending during tbe fair tlio operation
of tbo ordinance compelling bjrroouis
to cluso at 12 o'clock at night has
aroused considerable feeling in tho
community. It Is fell that tho reasons
which justified tho passage of tho sus
pended ordinance bavo more wnlgltt
now titan ever before—that If It wua
In tlio interest of tlto publlo for the
barrooms to close at 18 o'clock In or
dinary times, It must be doubly so
when tlio city Is crowded with etmn-
gent. The danger of disorder and dis
turbance of tbo peace is certainly
greater wbon crowd* of strangers are
It) tlio city thnu tt was before, nud tbo
police force 1* Iran able, because of tho
increase of other duties, to keep an cyo
on the barroom crowds.
We think the council has made a
mistake in this matter which It should
luslou lo correct. It i» always a mis
take, wo think, for a governing body to
unn -utssarily excite ttga'nst itself tbe
anger or oontempt of oven one good
citizen. When tlio act ts resented by
u groat number of gool citizens, as In
this Instance, the mistake Is terlous
enough to nuku prompt correction
ltlgbly desirable.

SHORT TALKS
WITH MANY PEOPLE.
Mr. W. O. W id ley, whose ability
ana indefatigable energy has been
largely Instrumental In making of the
Dixie Fair what It is to be, told me
last night that he had Just about fin
ished up the biggest undertaking of
his life. For several month* past he
has been hard at It, but more espe
cially for the past thirty days has his
work seemed overwhelming. And yet
he has come out of It with nn unruf
fled disposition nnd clear conscience.
He has tried to please everybody in
tho assignment of space and the many
other things which have come under
his direction, and he has probably come
as near dolng'lt ns any other ntun
could have done. He has been the
right man In the right place and Ma
con owes him a vote Of thanks for
what he ha* done for her.
“Everything will be In shape by
Tuesday.” Mr. Wudley said last night.
“We have only to put the finishing
touohea oh. and this la light work com
pared with what we have .already ac
complished. We have had many times
a* much work to do^as ever before
and yet wo are In Wrier shhpe than
we bavo ever yet been three days prior
to the opening ddy.”
I met Col. JobnO. Weddell at the
Hotel Danler last night. He was just
In from/Atlanta and la dotfn to take
chanro/ on behalf of the State Agricul
turalSociety, of the agricultural and
static departments of the Dixie Fair.
Hot. Waddell Is familiar' with this
/work and bis duties of the next two
weeks will be nothing new to him.
"Wo will certainly have the finest
agricultural and stock show ever wit
nessed In Georgia," he eald, “It will
be In many respects a remarkable show
and one which will undoubtedly attract
the farmers of Georgia to the fair. I
have been among them considerably of
late and I really believe they are com
ing to Macon In large numbers. Five
cent cotton Is against this, it ts true,
but we Intend to discuss this matter
of 5c cotton and it will be to the In
terest of every farmer In the state to
attend the fair for this purpose. We
think we have plans which, tf carried
out, will materially change the condi
tion of affairs in the state, and we want
to sees* many farmerlhere as possible
to hear them discussed."
dipt. Jerry IlolVla was asked many
times yesterday If ho was out of the
race for principal keeper of the peni
tentiary. Some people seem to have
construed us much from an article pub
lished tn Saturday’s Telegraph, relbtive
to certain complications, which arose
between him and Dr. Sullivan, who Is
a candidate for penitentiary physician.
This Is by no means the case. As
stated lu tlio Telegraph, the question
ns to who should retire from the race
was simply left to a committee of six
good Democrats do decide, Inasmuch ns
neither Cant, Hollis nor Dr. Sullivan
wished to “embarrass Governor Atkin
son by presenting too many applications
from Bibb county. The committee has
not yet decided the mniltor and it Is not
known when they will act. In tho
meantime Capt. Hollis Is working with
his usual energy and wants Ills friends
to keep up the same licks which they
have been putting In for him since his
announcement.
When Col. Pardee, of Pain's Pom-
pell, remarked In the presence of Mr.
W. W. Collins, a few days ago, that
he would get a hundred Macon girls to
take part In his chorus. Mr. Collins
Hil l he couldn't do It. Something '.vis
said about betting a basket of wine,
but this was probably called off. ns
neither of tho gentlemen had any use
for the ovine. But Mr. Collins was
wrong and Col. Pardee was right, for
already nearly enough young ladles
have been secured to take port In
Pompeii. Of course, their work 1a not
at all objectionable, as Mr. Collins at
first had nn Idea. He has seen since
that It Is a very Interesting sort of
work, after all, and nearly any young
lady would be very willing to take
part In the big chorus, Inasmuch as
she would thereby get a better Idea of
the great spectacle than she could oth
erwise. Col. Pardee thinks ho 'will bo
ablo to get the finest chorus 1n' Macon
that he has ever yet^had.
Col. Wills Price ts not looking for a
Job on Midway, but be does claim to
have a pretty first-class animal, or In
sect. as you prefer It. show of bis own.
He has drained five large roadies and
they havo been taught to do any num
ber of tricks. He calls them by name
nnd they come, and he tells them to
go snd they go. Tho only thing he is
not certain about Is whether or not
when ho calls Charlie It I* Charlie who
comes or John. Charlie and John aro
exactly Mike, and so are Will and Jim
nnd Mike, for that mutter. He thinks,
however, It I* Charlie who comes, and
he defies any one to disprove It. He
thinks their beat art Is tho hurdle
race. They are hitched up tandem
nnd are tnnde to leap frogs, leap pen
cils. leap yeava and o*er obstacle*. He
doesn't know but that he will drive
them In the procession on opening day.

Sams of the racln* men «d the fair
grounds are complaining that there are
no naves this week. They nre not com
plaining at the racing programme or
the purses offered, but say that tbe
fair management should have at Host
three day* racing this week so' that
they might hcln make expenses until
the big races come off next week. One
of the owners of a large stable sugg.it-
ed a novrttv race, bv which Is tnemt n
race tn which quarter homes, half-mile
horse, three-quarter homes and mile
horses may take part, anil a pume of

this could be atslly arranged, and tt

MORE EVIDENCE
Of Third Party Hatred for the
Negro.
For the past thirty months /
third party leaders and agttatmif/

They have taken him to ; J
and deluded him with sij -ring pram-
laes* for the future, eitouid they get
In power. They hove cajoled him by
day and by night. They hav^iavtahed
upon him their undying affection, so
long as he would consent to blldly fol
low him.y /
But, rt^Gtas often been demonstrated,
their love turns to hatred when the
negro asserts his independence. He Is
than too mean to live In the commu
nity with ' them, as we will show
further on. It la not so much the negro
with the third party man as tt ts his
greed for ascendency, and sooner or
later tho deluded ones will find It out.
As soon a* his fond hopes, founded
on third parly promises, are shattered,
as They will be, he will realize what a
dupe he has been.
But to the point: On Friday night
last a hand of six third party men.
armed with rifles, went to the turpen
tine Harm of Messrs. W. Sc T. J.
Pritchett, six miles below Lothalr, tn
Montgomery county, called out the
hands tn one of the shanties and told
them that this was their coutry and
that they could not stay there another
day. They threatened them with all
manner of violence and declared that
they would be forced to leave the coun
try for voting the Democratic ticket.
Two of the men were stationed off
some distance from the bouse, two
some nearer and the other two went up
and delivered the threatening mess
age.
The negroes were demoralized, and
oarfy next morning went up to see Mr.
T. J. Pritchett, a member of the firm,
who sent them back and sent one of
the white employes along to see that
they were not molested.
Thus ends another chapter of third
party outrages upon the negro—the

THE KING'S SWANS.

they maintained upon the marshy flats
of the eastern districts. And tn the
west they were preserved with the

AN EXTRA HEAVY PISH.
•Prank Buckland. who was my ctmsin,
told me tthto story. He belonged to g
fishing club on the Thames*, which held
(ts meetings once a week, and »tho chair
man for the evening was the man who
had caught the hoavleet fish. On one
occasion a Mr. Junes was the fortunate
individual: It -was the first time ho had
earned the honor, and he was very
proud of it, though hisprize fish had
only been a barbel. Ono of the mem
bers of the club was unable to stay for
dinner, and asked Jones for the fish to
take home -wktb him, ns it was not to
form part of the menu. He consented,
though rather unwillingly, and nothing
was heard of’the matter until the next
meeting, when Buckland chanced to be
present.
"A curious -thing happened about that

M'KINLEY IN NEW ORLEANS.
He Uses Soft Words to the BoT&ng
Democrats.
New Orleans, Oct. 21.—Governor
McKinley arrived yesterday afternoon
from Ohio, accompanied by his private
secretary. Secretary of State S. M.
Taylor. Attorney General J. K. Rich
ards of Ohio and a large number of
newapiper men. He was met at the di
viding line between Louisiana and Mis
sissippi by a representative com:ni::«‘0
of citizens and on his arrival here was
fiaken 4n a carriage to the Royal ho
tel, where he spent a part of the af*
iernoon preparing his speech.
Durlng*the evening he drove over the
city under the escort of a committee
and was delighted with his reception.
Governor McKinley addressed am au
dience of about 10,000 people at the
Auditorium Club, heretofore noted as
the scene of many pugilistic ba'ttles.
The place' was elaborately decorated
with bunting, the national colors, flow
ers, shrubbery and sugar, a>'i the
governor spoke from the historic ring
in which Fitzsimmons laid Hall lo\v.
The audience embraced all classes of
the community, from tbe highest and
wealthiest to the lowest and poorest in
station, of both colors and sexes and
of every shade of political belief, Dem-
o*rais probably predominating in nunj-
bor.s. There was an abundance of en
thusiasm over his remarks, which he
delivered from carefully prepared
copy. Tho speech was a general review
of economic and tariff subjects from
the earliest days of the Republfic, a
forceful argument in favor of the prin
ciple of protection, a fierce assault on
the Wilson bill and a general appeal
to Louisiana and the South >to tear
asunder their present fetters and em
brace 'the cause of which the speaker
is Iho most shining apostle. Among
other things Governor McKinley said;
HE PREACHED PROTECTION.
"What will your verdict in Louisiana
be? A Democratic victory means
further and longer steps in the di
rection of free trade—deeper $uts and
more deadly blows upon our industrial
life. A Republican victory—a Repub
lican house—moans that during the
closing half of Mr. Cleveland’s admin
istration the enemies of our protective
system will be unable to successfully
wage war upon the prosperity of the
country. On which side will you vote?
For more war or less war? For further-
attacks on the borne industries that
are still running or for more Industry
at home? If it be true that a revival
of business and general prosperity are
to follow the pass-age of the new law,
as it is claimed by our political adver
saries. then why should they Interfere
with the good prospects by still further
Changes in our tariff schedules or re
newed agitation of the subject?"
Speaking of elections and the Loui
siana bolt since the Democratic party
came Into power, Governor McKinley
said?
"The country bas not failed to ob
serve also tha't a great change in pub
lic sentiment Is apparent throughout
the South. Nothing has occurred of
late years -which bas been to me more
gratifying than the action of the
plnrtters Jn Louisiana, who, If I am cor
rectly informed, have turned away
from the Democratic party, with whom
they Wave all their lives been asso
ciated, and announced their uncondi
tional indorsement and support of the
great doctrine of America;# protection
and American industries.”
Governor McKinley was given a sup
per at tho Royal hotel, and al
midnight left on a special train for
