ion UNITY AMI HARMONY.
For a long Unra ibo Telegraph has
labored to bring about the unity of
our people in Macon, so that they could
work together In harmony for the wel
fare of the city. It has felt that no
long as d,vision existed, so long a*
each election wae a bitter ionte»t for
supremacy between different classed in
the community, that tlidiu would bo
Jiitie ndvauce for our city. It seems
to us that united work Is now more
n«cea*ary than ever. • There la no wis
dom in trying to cohceal tbo fact that
the hard timed have pressed with es-
P‘*"ial harshness upon Maeon. The
cloaed doors of vacant houses are seen
in ur mast prominent blocks. Trade
b ■ been far less aiitlvo than usual.
There U much evidence of despond
ency among our people. There l» little
allowing made of .he snap and vigor
that obnradterlge the confident nnd
growing town. But for Hie fact that
we believe /irmly tbit the indications
we doaenbe are but temporary, wo
would say that there la uv'denee that
M icoa is retrogrofflug.
It has been tbo custom during many
years to denounce our olty'a govern
ment a* bad and corrupt, Kvcryihlng
ba« been rumor, but nevertheless rumor
can affect character; and our city has
become known as one of bad govern-
meut nnd loose morals. Doubtless this
has been of groat damage to the c.ty.
Men who have money to invest do not
take It to badly governed c.tlea ,f they
ot-n help It. Men who are Seeking
boms*, especially If thby havo families,
do not voluntarily couio to clt.es bo-
tor.oualy corrupt. Whether two
ful.e, therefore, the denunciation of
our city government which lute been
so common bus been proligo of bad re-
sius, of which wc should seek tc
escape the consequences at tbo earlt
cat possible moment. One cannot light
sgs.nst mere rumor. Mitoon cannot
prove than the charges against her are
untrue by newspaper wr.ting or by
the denials of her individual citizens,
but ahe can convince people that they
are not true for the present and will
net be for the future by putting raefi
of tho highest character In tier office*.
Iu doing so, she would not only dn
something to re-establish her character
in the estimation ofrpcnplo who have
hoard her traduced, but would at tbo
aamo time be availing herself of the
aerr.cee of the men best qualified to
serve her efficiency.
We th.uk It Is absolutely necessary
that tho city government should be
Identified with the busiuose and prop
erly owning interests of tho city. So
long as tho government represents op
position to those elements In the com-
mumty, lion over good may be its In
tentions, it can accomplish little, be
cause it will not havo a bold on the
confidence, and will bo deprived of tho
support o{,thq men ,whose aid is ab
solutely necessary In ndvauc.ng bust-
luces enterpr.aos and gaining for the
city Itself the confident ’of tho out
side world. The c.ty government, even
when composed of good men, person
ally, and directed by good .mentions,
can hope to accomplish Uulo if It is
msde up of men who ate nut identified
thoroughly w.ih the business und prop
erty owning Interests of tbs city.
In yeeterday’s Issue Mr. T. 3. Car
ling. who has been most prominently
Identified with one of our political fare
uxu, declare* himself' <hb eand.dutc
for office, and expreeees himself in fa
vor of certain well-known gentlemen
as members of the city govemmeat.
Without exception, we believe, these
gentlemen have oot- been . Identified
with the same faction In politic* with
Mr. CarLng. and he makes a ctrge eon-
cession when, naming tare* gentlemen
as the proper pereoo* to make up the
city government, he adds that “l want
to see harmony, and I Milov* such har
mony aa Should be brought about will
lift Macon to the top." This mem*
that the way to obtain harmony and
all it* good results la u pot «a office,
us Jig Mr. Carling's >tvn word*, "the
biggest, most prominent, very hast meu
In Macon.”
With the spirit shown by Mr. Cap
Ung prevalent In the whole communi
ty, we ee« no reason way our p*opta
should not un.te, get together aud put
in ..the* the very nest nest men to Ul
found in our midst It It ruUrely mi
dldates and officUls. The ->pp>rtu(tity
Is a good one for bringing about a re
form if, a* rumor says, reform it im
peratively demanded, ind the time la
on* when the necessities of tht city
demand the beat government which the
Intelligence of her people can gave.
BLAGkTaND WATSON. *
Mr. Thomas E. Watson ha* published
an open letter to Hon. J. C. C. Black,
In which be proposes that the two ap
point a commission wnich shall Inves
tigate the votes caat at the recent elec
tion and declare ibe true results. He
podges b.inself to abide tbe finding
or this commission, and fur.tser says
that should It be against him, ho will
never again mn for a pubi c office.
Mr. Black, In reply point* out the fact
that tbe dec.slon of tho question la a
matter which the law must deal with;
that tbe voluntary actions of bluitolr
and Mr. Watson cannot settle, and con
cludes by say.ng;
"The matter Is (ar beyond any per
sonal intereit, desln. or anablUon. It in
volves questions of great delicacy and
gravity, and tbs rights of very meny of
the beet people of tno district. I cannot
therefore aamime to be wise enough to
act without the advice of friends, which
I cannot at once procure. At .as early a
data as practicable, proper attention will
be Slveo to Mr. Watson’s proposition, and
an answer mods thereto."
The ciecLon .a tbe Tenth district
was a very retnarkahlo one, and we
are sure that Mr. Black la very little
bettor *at.sf.cd wlih lue result than
Mr. Watson. He must realize that, in
fact, no election, ,n the proper sense
of the word, was held. So far as re
spect for the will of the peop.tt was
concerned, it would nave been Just as
well for the r.vnl candidates to have
thrown dice for the scat in congr-afti—
and cogged dice at that. Therefore, ..n
spite of the Irregularity of Mr. Wat
son's proposition, we hope It will lead
to some pos.tlve result It will be
better for Georg.a, better for the Dem
ocratic party aind better lor Mr. Black
if this matter Is settled hero at home,
If It can be settled legally, without
having the whole story told In con
gress and made the most of by a bit
terly bost.le majority In that oody. In
our opinion, Mr, Watson ,s tin exceed
ingly dangerous politician, because bis
brightness and abll.ty give h,m a hold
on men which be can ubo to further
the dangerous financial schemes which
be favors. But It Is better to have
Mr. Watson In cougrw.s, If he was
fairly and squarely elected ay tho peo
ple of the Tenth d.str.ct, than to have
the people of all the, districts lit Geor
gia understand that. It necessary, they
will be deprived by fraudulent prac
tices of their r.gbt to parLc.pa.te In tbe
government of the country. We think
Ur. Black, aa be saye, is bound to listen
to the advice of hla friend*. Many of
them have made large sacrifices tor
him. But we hope he w.U jot listen
fo the men who are responsible for the
method* of Tuesday's election. We do
not mean to say that these methods
were enployed by MnJ. Black’s friend*
only. It Is perfectly plain that they
were employed by tho Popultets also.
But that faot does not render the men
responsible for them on MaJ. Black's
side safe counsellors at this or.sU In
bis and hla party's affairs.
A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
ullst finances—the very th'nc which
contributed so largely to Democratic
defeat in other states. In califoro.a
the relative position* of the two par
tes was Reversed, at c-mpnrert with
their positions In other states, and tbe
result of the election was different.
On the whole, this is a rather signifi
cant fact, OTcr which the friend* aa
well as'the enemies of the Democratic
administration anil tbo Democrat,*
party wonld do well to ponder a while.

more in respect to the sugar duties and

ce. tain that tho party returning to power
will allow the new tariff to remain un
disturbed until at least It haa had a euf-
ilclent trial of experience. (6) We take It
also that the change of government
means a serious effort to reform our cur
rency system. The overwhelming major
ity will make the next congress and ad
ministration less dependent upon conclll-
atlng the clamor for free coinage of sil
ver and for flat money; and as Republi
can leanings toward these heresies have
doubtless been due much more to motives
of factional accommodation than to any
real regard for sound money, the hope
for conservative legislation on the cur-
rency question is thus very greatly
strengthened It la piobahle that this
view will be taken abroad, with tbe re
sult ot a material strengthening of the
foreign continence In our Investments
which has been so rudely shaken by the
uncertain attitude of congress upon this
urgent Issue. (7) In a word, tho ehlel
significance of the political revolution lies
hero—that, while the advent of the Dem
ocracy to power suggested a long series
of radical changes In matters affecting
the nature of the laws and the regulation
of our trade and finances, yet the truth
ts that, whatever may have been urged In
favor of such a policy, the people do not
uke kindly to the prospect ot so much
change and uncertainty as all this "re
forming" Involves; they are more concern
ed with the present than the future; they
want the shortest cut to a renewal ot
prosperity: they prefer putting up with
some things of which thoj- may not thco.

about the meaning of the business man’s

the sound common sense of the country;
and, when supported by such an Immense
majority of the people. It becomes a pow
erful contribution to future stability and
