Ga 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 A tierce battle was fought out on that quest.on, v/lth.tho result that though the rttwrnuu, _laiV was repealed nud the safety’of the currency for the tltue assured, the de lay was do'great, the struggle so' lterce, that the party lost tbo confidence of the ptlbllo, by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*.

Through failure to gain twenty-five yards In the next three downu. the ball was lost to the Soohu. Another kick, and the pigskin sailed far down ■ the 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 ed five yards. A third kick wa* tried, 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. COFFEE COUNTY’S VOTE Turner's Vote and fihe' Restilt of the Primary. Douglas.

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.
