IT IS SENATOR BACON
Our toJccraror this morning announce
(hit Maj. A. O, Ha con was nominated
try tho Dcmnerntio caucus yesterday
afternoon for United States senator on
tho flrst 'ballot. This result was ok'
pce.lrd amt brut been confidently lire
dieted for several dnys by ibo Tele-
graph unit .olher newspaper*. Thi-ro
Is nothlus, ilierefore, surprising in the
nomination, but tve sre suro that It
Is not for Ibst reason any tbo less grat
ifying to the touusituds of Georgians
who have watched tho progress of the
senatorial nico with intense Interest
and wi1h a strong desira that it should
bo won by a roan worthy in Intellect
and ehnr.ne.ler to represent the stale
fu (he highest council of tho nation.
From the very beginning MnJ. Bacon
has seemed to lead hts competitors.
Ho Pad the advantage from tho very
Mart of a general reoogmtlou of his
tltness for tho great office which ho
sought. All Georgians knew him lo
b» a lawyer of the Amt rank in ability,
a statesman who hut to tbo limit of
his opportunities wisely served tbo peo
ple, add who eoltlil be depended upon
liecauso of tils gifts and experience to
represent the state in n manner credit-
able to banself and to It, If elected to
the'senate. Wo believe that MaJ. Ba*
con will soon win recognition as tbo
strongest aenntor who has held a scat
from Georgia since death removed Ben
Hill from among the living. Illio Tele
graph has supported MaJ. Baron earn
estly and oonddonfly and feels gratified
that ho has won so easily,
An attempt has been mado to show
tbst this paper was Inoonslatont tn
supporting him neeauso of assumed
differences on tho currency question,
the leading quret.ou of tho campaign-
The Telegraph knew very well that
SlaJ. Bacon wan being misrepresented
In all parts of tho state by tils enemies,
who wished to inako (t appear that bo
won pandering to popular sentiment
for tho sako of ga.ulug office. Tho
Telegraph know that MaJ. Haooit's |w-
allion on tills question would In tltno-
bo tiindo cloar and that it was such
n position sa mado It proper and right
for tho Telegraph to urgo him us a can
didate for senator. There was no os-
Beutlnl difference of opinion on the sil
ver question between tho Telegraph
nnd tho gcaUiman whom It has aided
to Its utmost to his campaign for the
somitonthlp. Tho l\-lcgrnpb eongrstu-
lates MaJ. Bacon nnd tho state upon
tho success of hts race;
BE SURE TO VOTE.
There fs ono fact In relation to tbs
last election that thoso who are Inter
ested tn the result of ntxt Tuesday's
election should not forget. That fact
Is thst lo only three of tho ten counties
of this district did tho irujority reach
beyond one hundred. In the other coun
ties of the district. In seven of the ten.
the political strength of tbo. two par
ties was almost equal. Tde Importance
of this fact lie* largely in the enns-d-
oration that the rotes cast at tbu last
election was hardly more than half of
tho voting strength of tho population.
Nobody eon say whether, oil a full de
velopment of the voting strength, tho
Democratic or the Populls! candidate
would he benefited. Yet It is undeni
able that the unexpech-d abow.ng of
strength made by the J'opul.sts is cal
culated to encourage that party to
greater exertions to tlio election of
Tuesday. It also ought to have tho
effect of wpun-lng tbo Democrats to re
newed energy. But M we Maid yester
day, there is much evidence of apathy
among the people and there la very
considerable doubt as to what Ilia re
sult of Tuesday's election wjtl be. We
do not mean that the Democrats: can
dldate is in real danger of being de
flailed. We think he is certain to be
elected. But there Is a probability, or
at least a posa.bdlty, that he will Im
elected by a very narrow margin, and
If he Is the Populists will gain the
moral advantage of a victory. We
carneatly urgo every Democrat In Iho
district to make up his mind that whaM
eYer his engagements Tuesday may lu
be will find tlE'0 to oomn ■» the polls
and rote for the Democratic cand.date.
It la not only necessary to elect
our candidate, hut to elect him
by such a majority os to make Dem
cerates safe In this district lu the
future.
A GREAT SUCCESS.
I-’rom tho drat day It has been appar
ent that the Dixie Interstate l-’utr was
a success at an exposition. It Is now
brooming plainer every day that It It
to bo a groat success as an attraction
to tho peoplo of this state. Tho at
tendance on tho last two or throe days
has been very largo-larger each day
than the day before. We doubt
whether larger crowds hava been seen
on any fair grounds In Georgia than
are now being seen on tho fair grounds
THE EXECUTIVE CLERKS.
On going Into office, Governor Atkin
son saw tit to change the make-up of
tb» clerical force In the executive de
partment. Referring to these changes,
tho Amcrlcus Times-Kecordcr speaks of
one of the old elerks as having been
'dismissed” and of another persott ns
having been “decapitated.” Wo think
our Amcrlens contemporary is wrong m
ua.ng tbeso terms, for they convey a
false Impression as to what the new
gorirnor’s action realty was. On going
Into olilco bo was under no obligation
whatever to reta.-n the service* of tho
clerks ho found there. No question of
“dlsmautal" or “decapitation” tvaa in
volved. Tito only question was whether
or not ho should retain them. They
had acrvtd the full terms for which
they were appointed, und there was
not the slightest reason why they
should bo g.veu preference over other
men, equally well fitted to perform tho
duties of tho office, and who desired
tho appointment. By using the words
"dismissed" and "decapitated." tho
Tlmes-Rccorder conveys the Impres
sion that Governor Atkinson bad J.s-
approved of these men, denied them
something which they had a right to
expeot, or something of thd sort Cen
sure of tho governor's act Is invoiced
in the usu of such terms, uad as there
Is really no ground for *uoh censure,
tbo use of them la at least un
fortunate. lu tilling tho clerkships m
tho cxecutlvo office with tnou whom ho
baa known long, who are his penonal
friends, Governor Atk.uson did what
ought, to havo been expected of bint,
and wo think tho perfectly proper thing
to do. They are tho men who must
necessarily bo brought m closest rela
tions with hint, whan ho must trust
most fully, who ought to bo lusplrcd
not only by a scum of duty to tho pub
lic, but also by a souse of loyalty to
blm. Of all tho offices under tho gov
ernment, toiisd are tho ones which par
take most of a personal nature. They
are not merely office* of administration,
but largely confidential clcrlu.
and at last murdered by tliem In the
most erne) manner, it was perfectly
natural that th-t new czar shooi-l come
to the tbrono trith the Idea firmly .fixed
in his mind that order could oo pre
served onjy by the elerheat repression.
At any rate, he adopted that pol'cy,
and bis reign has been otic of strong,
even fierce, assertion of the govern
ment's authority, whenever the slight
est infraction of the law* was seen.
The son who follows him upon tho
throne Is a young man totally a fferent
In appearance from his father, sskl
to be gentle In character, fully in tottcli
with the Ideas and the method* of west
ern civilization, and particularly friend
ly w.th the young -.lor.-nui i-iupt-ror
and Ills English cousins. Nothing Is
more likely than that this yonng man,
so far ss bis influence Is felt in the gov
ernment, wdl reverse the policy of his
father and seek to bring about peace
and progress In his father's domajr-s,
by relaxing somewhat the rigid rules
ot administration which niakc iho

One of our correspondents says:
"The -dcu ia prevalent In the country
that the election for congressman oc

take, which probably grows out of tho
fact that the state elections oci-ur
on that day of (he week, The election
occurs oil Tuesday; and we hope Unit
the Democratic managers | n every
county will ace that no. votes arc lost
by reason of the mistake to which wo

Tho dispatches this morning annouuco
that the emperor of Russia boa escaped

ture of his illness has been known so
long that probably his death will cafiso
no pcrecphblo shock In financial
and political circles, but nevertheless

which his death makes certain la like
ly, within a comparatively short time,
to have a profound effect on tlio his

man who das died, though, by the
aoeouuts of those who know him best,
a good and Just man personally, was
a reactionary, lie did not lead bis
people t<nvui\ta the higher civilization
which western Europe has attained,
hut used all of his power to light luck

which they were trying themselves to
make. Perhaps it wax inevitable that
