THE LESSON OF DEFEAT.
■
There la no question of gaining vio-
torlei for some time to come, and tbo
Democratic party will do well to cartK
fully consider the causes which have
brought about Its humiliating defeat.
Yesterday the Telegraph pointed out
•some of these causes. Ttnjra. was an
other it did dot mention. This was
the Inoompeteney of ibe' Democratic
parly to govern the oountry. as shown
during the last eighteen moutha. The
truth >s that the Democratic party
baa shown that It is uot-one party,
when entrusted with power and forced
to deal with the great question* of
government. The party, tiad liaTflSy.
come Into power when it 'd.vated on
the silver question. A tierce battle was
fought out on that quest.on, v/lth.tho
result that though the rttwrnuu, _laiV
was repealed nud the safety’of the
currency for the tltue assured, the de
lay was do'great, the struggle so' lterce,
that the party lost tbo confidence of
the ptlbllo, by demonstrating the fact
that It *o*'deeply infected with Pop
ulist ideas of finance.
So ngalp, when tbe tariff question
was taken up. On that Issue there
was absolutely no ground for dlvls’on,
apparently. Tbo platform declaration
was In tonus so explicit that U would
seem that--no man In cood,uonso,uaco
eould pretend to find In it uuy shadow
of protection. But when the lest came
It was found thut thero were two par
ties who called themselves Democratic.
The struggle began again and ended
only after many months of wrangling.
Tbo result was not a Democratic tav.lt
biU, such as tho country expeoted nod
a vast majority of the party earnestly
favored, but n compromise bill In
which the principle of protection wo*
as fully recognised n« In any tariff law
ever put' on the statute books of tho
country. . :i \ * 1
This is what we moan by Jacouipo-
tenoy. The administration 1s made up
of ablo men. Individually, tbe Dem
ocrats lu congress fully measure up in
tellectually with tbelr Republican col
leagues. But under the dreumstancea
which we have described, Individual
ability count# for very little. It is
accessary for euoocssful government
by party that tho party shall ltkelt
have a definite programme on which
tt is agreed, and lu the oarrytng out of
which it con depoud upon thy prompt
nud willing eervloo of every member.
Practically, the Democratic adminis
tration has becu trying to carry on the
government supported only by one of
tho two opposing parties ^filling them
selves Democratic, and naturally did
not meet with tho degree of success
expeoted by those who made the mis
take of looking upon tho Dcuiocrnjlo
party ns a unit.
If tho Democrotio party, wante to
win power and bold It, It must get to
gether. It must represent definite pur
poses. So long as tt Is merely au ng-
grv^itlon of person* in opposition to
the 'Republican party, dflVring among
themselves widely on all questions of
public policy. It con never aland tho
tost when actually entrusted with
power. lust , how all Democrats cao
get together wo do not prelend to say.
Via cannot advise tuea who behove
In tho principles widen have kept tho
Detuocratio party alive from (ho early
iliyi of tho republto to abandon or
compromise those mtubto for the
sake of harmony or .'mil/, tin the
contrary, wo believe such a’oundon-
meut or compromise >vouid menu tho
destruction of the party, or at least
tho permanent relegation of the Dem
ocrats party to n place of insignifi
cance la the political life of the poun-
tty. Nothing remaius'tbat wocun see,
then, but to insist upon these Demo
cratlo principles In tltelr-purity, »ud by
presenting them to the people to gala
for them finally tho approval of a ma
jority of tbo voter*. •. ..
The Democratic party U. by
tradition and practlco a sound
money party. It held the con
fidence of tho oountry through gen
erations because It refused ;p be led
astray by any financial heresy, and
stuck dose to tho principle that noth
ing in the last aujiijrsl* is uiouey ex
cept coins that carry vltli them tho
Intrinsic value named in--the ftnuip
on their taco. Xbat was Democratic
doctrine while the Democratic party
was triumphant* while It was bar mo*
nloua, and while it waa tho moat com
petent of all partiea when entrusted
with the government of tbo oountrr.
Lately we have seen a Ur?*, element
In the party abandon la sound money
principle. They have become iWj-
llits in everything except name, and
they have caused tho party to lose the
confidence of tbe poop!*. That this it
,so the figures of. the recant election
ohotv. Wherever the Democratic patty
committed Itself unreservedly to Pop
ulist doctrines, there It lost most heav
ily. The Ohio Democratic convention
demanded tbe Immediate free coinage
of pllver at the Id to 1 ratio, using the
oxact terms of the Populist demand,
and for doing *p was applauded vocif-
erouslyby our esteemed contemporary,
tbe Atlanta Oonatltutiou. The result If
that In Ohio, where evolry election used
to be hotly contested and the Demo
crat* were accustomed to, win about
every second one, tbe Republican ma
jority is more than two hundred thous
and. In Michigan, where tbe same pol
icy was adopted by the Democrats,
they have not a single representative
in cither branch of the legislature,
though only two years ago they elected
a governor of the state and had a ma
jority In one if not in both branches
of tbe legislature. ,
The evidence, in our opinion, Is over
whelming that the Populistic leaning
of a larfje element In the Democratic
■party has caused the party as a whole
to lose'thd confidence of the' people
of the country. Tbo people felt more
at liberty to vote against tbo Demo
cratic party becauso of tbo fact-that
for a long time at least—possibly for a
good many year*—tbe tariff question
Is settled. They felt themselves free,
therefore, to Tote on the currency ques
tion, and tho result must be Inter
preted as an .overwhelming defeat of
tho cheap money party.
We do not think there Is the least
X ln Democrats reproaching each
r. What we need to dj> Is to bo
honest with each other and try to ar
rive at an agreement, pIf we cannot
arrive at an agreement, then we ought
to openly part company. If the At
lanta GonsLlutioa and' Us followers,
for Instance, cannot accept the Derao-
ernito theory of - flnahee ninl
feel that they must Insist on
tbo Populist theory, then (boy ought
to go to thd Populist party nud leave
the Democratic party free to win its
victories or suffer its defeats-,'S» the
case may he, without be,ng hampered
by peopl* who do not sympathise
with It.
A NEW' ELECTION LAW.
The Telegraph has on many occasions
urged upon the attention of Democrats
generally, and of tbe legislature in par-
t.cular, tho necessity of reforming tho
election iuws of Georgia. There wag
much In tho election of last Tuesday
to emphasize the necessity of this re
form. We sco lu some of our Demo
cratic contemporaries almost fierce de
nunciation of the Irregularities which
occurred In thut election. Wo do not
sympathize with the temper shewn,
while wo, are eager that the abuses
prevalent In our eleotlent shall bo
qniojtly nud thoroughly cured. Wo do
hot get exo,ted about tho matter be
cause we believe these abuses .have
grown out of tho oircumstanocs' which
existed at tbo dose of the war, and
that tbelr correction, heretofore has
been difficult, If not Impossible. Per
haps they were Inevitable. At any
■ate, we know that tho best men In tbo
pouimuulty, tneu who truly loved thc'.t
country and served It to tho best of
their ability, shut their eyes to them,
seeming to see tu them a necessary
cvll. v But the'circumstances have en
tirely changed. There la no longer
exeqse or palliation for acta wh.ou
twoaly-flve years ago would have been
Justified by tho dosporsto- circum
stances In which the vvblto people of
this country found themselves. It is
now Just as neccsjary for the good
of tlie country that these abuses..cbaU
be done away with. Such practices
degrade our institutions In tbo eye*
of good men. They make It Impossi
ble for the best citizens to tako part
In publto affairs. In' corrupting tbe
goverdtueut, they weaken It. In de
priving It of the respect of citizens, to
a largo rfegrtfo It also deprives them of
their loyally.
The present legislature ought not to
adjourn uutll it has passed a ballot
law which will nil so the standard or
citizenship and Insure lair elections.
If It falls to do this, it will be gener
ally understood that the men who
make up the legislature sympathize
with the urAhoda which are bring,ng
our Institutions lmo contempt.
Should be punished.
There acorns to bo little or no doubt
that tbe fires in iho cotton ships at
Savannah and New Orleans were tho
work of, incendiaries, lu Savannah
thero were seven of throe fires, none
of which, fortunately, caused very
great loss. At Now Orleans they wrote
less numerous but far -mare destructive.
In each of these ports thero had been
trouble between tho shippers and She
meu who load the vessels. 1 n - both
tbe shippers had been successful In
their contention, and la both there vs
the strangest susplciou that the fires
were set by men who In this way hoped
to compel shippers to discharge the
man employed by them and ro-iraiploy
those recently ousted.
It la hard to believe that laboring
men who are among the best paid in
this country, who as n rule are very
intelligent, are willing to become in
cendiaries, to destray the property of
their employers, to cheek the progress
at the towns tn wkieh they live, in
order to compel other men to give
them employment. If they are capa
ble of oondaot of this kind, there Is
no conduct so evil that it would daunt
them. They are desperadoes Just as
wicked and Just ns reckless as ran bo
found in the frouller communities
where tbe off-scouring* of civilisation
j are wont to congregate. Tho legal au
thorities of these cities ought to exert
themselves to tho utmost to punish
and prevent this kind of lawlessness.
Both are rich cities. They should of
fer large rewards. If lu no other way
•the perpetrators of these crimes can be
discovered. It Is absolutely necessary
that crime of this kind should be
stopped. \ . '
GEORGIA* MINERAL WEALTH.
Among the remarkable number at
attractions furnished by tho directors
of tbe Dixie Interstate Fair was one
In particular which was UktntiStive
and worthy of close attention and
study. It was the exhibit of Georgia
minerals made by Dr. George F. Bayne
of tbe state department of agriculture
upon the iollc,ration of the board of
directors. We have heretofore thought
that minerals were but little under
stood by tbe people and hence uninter
esting to them, but from tbe numbers
constantly around this exhibit, asking
Intelligent and pointed questions In re
gard to the uses of each mineral, we
feel that the gredt mind of tbe trabllc
Is aroused to the latent possibilities of
our undeveloped mineral wealth. These
minerals and the explanations of tbelr
varied uses and adaptability was a
most valuable lesson Jo our people,
coming ns It did at n time of great
business depression, on account of the
ruinous price of our great staple. It
will doubtless' prove one of tbo most
valuable educational features of our
great Dixie Interstate Fair.
In the exhibit was shown some of
the White county asbestos, which Dr.
Payne had been calling attention to
for ttyo yean before capitalists conld
be persuaded to take bold of It. The
Investor* In this property have recently
refused an offer of one huudred dollars
a day for the privilege of mining cue
hundred tons daily from this inexhaust
ible supply. Bauxite ,was also shown
from Bartow and Pol* counties. Four
years ago Dr. Payne described these
deposits In Northern papers, giving
their analyses and calling attention
to the fuct that they were unsurpassed
by any In the whole world Alumi
num manufacturers thus bad their at
tention particularly culled to this
state. They have votrespouded WtU
Dr. Payne as to these properties, have
visited the state and invested largely.
From one property alone about 540,-
000 worth of bauxite has beon already
shipped.
The display 1 of clays embraced every
thing from tho most fusible to vile most
infus.ble; materials for tho finest pot
tery, vitrified brick, tile*, fire brick,
etc., were there tn great profile,on. lu
fact, we did not know thero were so
man uses for our various clays until
wo heard the lucid explanations given
by Mr. Hutchinson, Dr. Payne’s As
sistant In the collection were
specimens of at least five or six hun
dred minerals. From .vittaln the bound
aries of Georgia there seemed,to have
been gathered together specimens . of
nearly every mineral of economic
value—limestones, cement stones, coals,
granites, marbles, phosphates, glass
sands, micas, Iron ores, graphites, feld
spars, clays, bauxites, manganese,
barytes. Iron pyrites, lead ores, silver
ores, gold ores, etc/
To the railroad*' along whose lines
these minerals lie, and to the people
upon whose property they nro found,
wo trust tho lesson will not be last
and that the future will bring not only
tho mining of these materials bat thtir
conversion Into manufactured products.
TOO OHEAF.
Tho cotton market fell off again yes
terday and flvo cents was the price of
the highest grade of cotton In Macon.
This slump was the result, probably,
of the prediction sent out by Mr. Neel
of Now Orleans tho day before, to tbo
effect that the present crop would
amount to tea million sad a quarter
bales. It Is zurprifaug that Neel's es
timate should have so much Influence
on the cotton market. He has not, in
the past, been particularly successful
lu his estimates. Tho tendency to
over-estimate has been perfectly plain
in him dt all times. If our memory
Is correct, he has at n> iliuo under
estimated tbe crop, while he linseOT-
eral times largely over estimated one.
The enormous port receipts, however,
probably gain credence fqr his esti
mate, but there Is reason to believe
that tbe crop Is golug forward unusu
ally .fast. The season for picking has
been one of tho heat ere( known, and
though the price has been very low,
farmers have sold freely, seeming to
think that there was no reasonable
hope of an advance In price. In our
opinion, it will be found at the end of
the year that the crop Is very much
short of ten million and a quarter
bales, and that the world tt paying too
little for cotton now,
THINK OVER IT. BLACKBURN.
The Atlanta Commercial thinks tt a
briody shame .that Fulton county, with
a population of >0,000, ahbuld have only
as many member* of tho legislature as
Bibb county, with 40,00*. The rally
sheet*, however, prove Bibb to be the
more popultMM county. Atlanta should
loom to poll mote vote* before asking
for larger representation.—Griffin New*

which any mam might well be proud,
his support coming from every section
of the state, attesting bis popularity
with all clauses of our peopl*.
The tew disgruntled enarltg elements
who are gnawing tbo file ot disappoint
ment will not be able Co detract from
the stgniflcanoe of Ms splendid victory,
and It la a comfort ito him and his '
friends to know that none of it oofnes
from the array of chivalrous and honor
able gentlemen w.ho opposed him, and
either of whom would have made a
senator ot whom the ettue could have ■
been proud. They have each made

The Demoeatlc caucus last Thursday
nominated Hon. A- O. Bacon of Bibb
for United State* senator, and he was
formally elected to that high office yes
terday. In the caucus MaJ. Bacon re
ceived 93 votes. Mr. Turner 37. Mr. Gar
rard 21. Senator Walsh 0, and Speaker
Crisp L
We bxve been an earnest advocate of
JIG. Bacon in all of his political cam
paigns, and Che News felt much more
than ordinary Interest in hi» candidacy
for Che senvtorshi’P.
The election of MaJ. Bacon settled be
yond dispute the sentiment of the »eo-.
pie of Georgia on .the financial question.
The Mne was sharply drawn between
the advoomtes of silver coinage and Che
gold standard. In his address before the
people he emphasized the importance of
the free coinage of silver'at the ratio
of ill to'i; without writing for the con
sent .if asry other nation, and his posi
tion has been overwhelmingly indorsed
by Che people 'through their representa
tives.
■Beside* being tn full accord with the
people on all the great issues now af
fecting the country, the new senator Is
undoubtedly a man ot brilliant talents
an a lawyer, a scholar and an ora tor,
and we feel confident that he will re
flect credit upon tho utat and make a
name for himself in the nation's highest
law-making body.

The game started off with the ball In
the Sophomores’ Dosaxkwion. Full-back
sent the ball spinning toward* :he veil
by a magnificent kick, but It fell In the
hands of Milner, who utarted on a run
and .was not etboned short of a gain of
fifty yards Foul tackle wa* called, and
the Seniors advanced five yards further.

yards In the next three downu. the ball
was lost to the Soohu. Another kick,

field, and this time Milner -was not
ready. He muffed, end before he could
recover himself a Soph had the ball,
but wa* downed before he had advanc

and Milner again muffed, but recovered
the ball before a Soph could reach it.
Then the Seniors changed their tootles,
and with a rush bucked the center so
violently that the Sophs fell back In
confusion, and a gain was made of
twenty-five yairis. Another rush la
center, and anbither decided advance.
Then Poer received the ball from the
quarter-back and darted down the
field on a magnificent run. The goal
was only a few yards oft when ne was
adroitly tackled and downed. This was
decidedly the play of the day. and
brought forth onthuufastlc cheers from
the spectators. The Seniors still held the
bull, and the referee called for play.
Fincher slipped the ball back O Bol
tina, who quickly passed It to Banks,
and there was a rush for center. The
Soph* were unable to buck ngainst their
heavier opponents, and tn spite of manly
resistance were obliged to give way
und Banks broke through the line and
made a touchdown. No. goal was
kicked. In the second half neither ride
scored, and the game ended with a soore
of 4 ito 0 in favor of the Seniors.

TOO SIMPLE A TRICK.
JceuD Darkles Not Fooled by the John-
• son Ticket.
Jesup, Nov. 8 — (Special).—The elec
tion for member of congress from this
(the Eleventh) district on Tuesday
passed off very quietly. Out of about
1,600 registered voters, only 723 votes
were polled, and the consolidated re
turns show that Hon. Henry G. Turner
(Democrat) received 394 and S. tv. John
son (Populist) 329.
The Populists did everything in their
power tp capture the negro vote. They
had tickets headed "The Republican
Ticket" tn large letters. On 'these tick
et* was tho name of Johnson, the Pop-
ttllut candidate, but the average Jeuup
darky is to sharp to be fooled with so
simple a trick, and many of them only
laughed at the attempt to fool ‘-hern
and voted the Democratic ticket here.
But there Is no doubt that the Populists
voted ithe colored brother at the other
precincts in rite county.
