Within the next few days the people of

Mb. Blunk assumes that all Bepubli-
cans favor a perpetuation of the war issaes
and of sectional discord. This merely
prores that Mr. Blaine baa learned nothing
from the campaign of 1884.
Heat and cold are thus illustrated: “Bab
timore is to have a crematory. Two years
ago there was but one in the country; now
there are twelve. Forty-two new ice facto

The Philadelphia Times says
no public faith in the accuracy of the daily
raports of newspaper circulation, which
have been published in many jonrnals
Even when sworn to they aro not believed."
This truth has been frequently illustrated
in Georgia.
The Chattanooga Times has been told by
a thoroughly reliable and respectable bus!
ness man of Atlanta how effectually the
prohibition law wus dodged and ignored.
Tb, gentleman assures the Times that the
initiated and their friends can get “as drunk
ts biled owls” on “prohibition" slops, and
svsn that good straight “pi/.en” and honoat
beer may be had in abundance in Atlanta
by those who “know the ropes.” Thii
informant wont on to say that scores of
business houses iu Atlanta are vacant and
likely to remain so, bnt he took no stock in
the notion thst prohibition had brought on
the comparative commercial stagnation.
A Chaise of Policy.
Within the past several weeks it has been
apparent that Mr. Cleveland was seeking a
Moor sympathy and stronger connection
with the best element of the perty to which
ht is indebted for his present poeltion.
It is mors than possible that with the
coming session of Congress an understand'
ingdeeper and broadet will be fixed between
ths administration and Democratic rnpre
asntativsc.
Nowhere has this change been more ap-
parent than in Georgia.
At no time has it giveu the Teleouaph
pleasure to animadvert npon the tearful
political mistake* which Ur. Cleveland has
xeade in the distribution of Federal pat
ronage in this State.
While we can admit no exease for ap
pointments that where wholly bad, ws are
Ires to acknowledge that some reparation
has been made in recent selections which
go largely towards a redaction in tho gen
eral avenge.
U it has been unfortunate for Mr. Cleve
land and onr people, that he had failed
recognize tt J fact, that there were two faC'
lions of the Democratic party of Georgia,
he and they are to be congratulated that
has demonstrated his slowly acquired
knowledge in a shape beyond criticism.
In the appointments of the collector
tbs port of Savannah, the postmaster and
the marshal of ths Southern district be has
not only selected good end satisfactory men
lor these several positions, bat given evi
denes that official position shall not be mo
nopolized by Democrats for revenue only
It is (air to infer that Ur. Cleveland
done with the vicious spoilsmen and huck
stering politicians, who hare hoped
prolong their power by deliberate deception
and brazen imposition npon his confidence
and kindness.

school at Atlanta, in which we took occa
sion to express in plain terms our opinion
‘ Governor McDaniel's interference in this
matter. The presumption that he did so
interfere was based npon facts then pre
sented, end which have not been, and
which cannot be, refutod.
The Atlanta Constitution is very much
disturbed, because it considers that the
Governor is involved, and goes so far as
even to assert a number of things, none of
which touch a single fact npon which we
assumed that the Governor did ao interfere.
It will take more than en assertion from
Constitution to clear away the reasoca-
and well founded conclusions of those
who witnessed the mamouvres of Mr.
Palmer and others, that when Mr. Palmer
came for Judge Heard and took him
down stairs to hurriedly, and afterwards
came np and called him out of the room iD
which the commission waa in session, that
did it upon bis own motion. Where did
carry Judge Heard a when he took him
down stairs?
If he wanted to talk with him himself why
did he not then, as he did a short time of ter-
wards, stand and talk with him at the door
the room in which the commission was
holding tta session? Who but the Governor
could, or would, have presumed to have
sent for Judge Heard to come to him?
We do not say that the Governor did
send for him. We do say that it would
have been ^presumptions in any one else to
have done so, and that tho fact that the
Governor's private secretary carried him
down stairs in the direction of tho execu
tive office furnished a reasonable and just
ground of assumption that the Governor
had sent for him. It was also reasonable
presume that Mr. Palmer, the private
secretary, come from the Governor when
called Judge Hoard out, aud talked with
a earnestly at the door,
presumption was strengthened
it was known that
Judge Heard bad voted for Atlanta. It be
come a conviction as strong as anything
short of absolute proof could be when Judge
Heard explained his vole for Atlanta, arc!
asked that bis explanation be spread upon
the minutes of the commission. What that
explanation was will doubtless bo made
public in time„and if we are correctly in
formed, it will, as we have said, invalidate
the ootiun of the commission in voting to
locate the school in Atlanta.
Atlunta got two votes fairly and above
oriticism; the third wns not cast, in onr
judgmiut, within the terms of the law,
which is mandatory and which lays down
the oondiUons npon which “opinion" con
trolling each vote waa to be formed.
Bnt we do not censure Judge Heard for
tbia action as much as we censure the
Governor, with whom he had been on
terms of close personal and political friend
ship for years, for intei faring in this mat
ter, if he did so interfere. We under
stand the influence that a friend of many
years ordinarily, exercises ovor the best of
men. When to friendship the authority
of great pullio station is added, and the
official appealing for action has conferred
the power upon his friend that be now
asks him to exercise for bis gratification, it
is hard to resist.
Judge Heard’s vote for Atlanta finds ex
plnuntion npon this hypothesis.
We havo heard of noae other.
To those who will take the trouble
to reed the article of tho Conalitution reply
ing to us, which we produce in fall else
where to-day, it most appear that a degree
of beat is iudolged in not warranted by the
facta in the cose.
The Conatitntion has not been aaaailed,
It ia in no wise Involved in any eriticlsma
in which we have indulged. It hoi no con
cern w ith any iasno we may make with a
public official touching his official action
npon a pnblic question, based upon a given
statement of facts. Its snperserviceable
action in behalf of the Governor, through
which it aeeka to reit his defense against a
grave charge baaed npon reasonable evi
dence, npon which it may “assert,” wonid
be sn offense to any honorable man in pub
lic station.
Tb'e Constitution may asiert what it
pleases, but we decline to accept its asser
tions instead of proper denials from those
most interested, and who know very well
how to set Tight any wrong impreasion
which may have been made.
The Constitution's assertions in defense
of the “Governor" and ita dismissal of

ment is made no less in justice to oaraelf
than to Mr. Cleveland. We bad hoped that
the United States attorneyship for this dis
trict had been made npon this same line.
We think that a grave political mistake wee
made that this was not done, bnt it is not
inappropriate or difficult for ns to say that
ia the conduct of his office ao far Mr. Omr
ry has given evidence not only of his emi
nent capacity for the position, bnt of a dis
position looondact it rather as a lawyer
than a partisan.
Wa have not hesitated in tha past to join
issue with tha administration, when in onr
judgment ft b«s neglect.d or violated a
plain doty. Nor have wa hesitated with
wo.-ds of approval whan it haa coma near
enough to party fealty and welfare to be
the Governor is. If so, we beg to say that
in speaking of thu Governor, we alluded to
hie Excellency Henry D. McDaniel, and not
to the Constitution.
We do not propose to be torned aside
from tbe main issue involved in this impor
tant matter by the bravado and buncombe
of tbe Constitution. We have presented a
case that calls for explanation front the par
ties involved. We do not desire to do any-
one any injtulice. We are of the same
opinion that we were when we per
sonally witnessed the transaction!
ported by onr -correspondent, and npon
which we have commented, and to which
we propose to pay still further attention.
When convinced of error we shall
promptly acknowledge it, bnt until then we
shall pursue this matter, if necessary, even
to the extent of asking the Legislature to
investigate the epparent thimblerigging that
at present reflects seriously on the situa
tion.
