Annonnccmenta.
With this issue of the TtLEOuarn the
paper pat an from the control of the uc-
' dersigned. Reasons of a private character
•lone, influence this step. Xbe property
ha, been greatly enhanced in valne, and
is in splendid financial condition. It will
henceforth be condacted by J. H. Camp
bell, E q , of this ci'y, whose reputation
it • guarantee of its sqooets.
I alone have been responsible for the
positions of the paper npon all important
pnblio questions. The details bare been
iu charge of Col. A. R. Lamar as editor-in-
chief, and to him and his associate, H. 8.
B1 wards, Esq, is due the vigorous edito
rial work, which has characterized its col-
nmns and pl-ced it among the leading pa
pers of the country.
To its employes, who amid all the vicis
situdes through which it has parsed re
mained faitbfol and true, I hereby extend
for myself and tbe stockholders grateful
acknowledgments.
To the thousands of Georgians who have
stood by the Teleobapr in all its struggles
and to those everywhere w. o have been
pleased to commend its work I am also
deeply grateful. For six years it
has been engaged in a work
that has made its impress npon
the people of the State and won it an
honorable name in all seotions. If it has
fallen into errors 1 am happily conscious
that it has always worked for the right as
its beet judgment dictated. It has given
and taken hard blows. It bos never in
tended to strike below the belt and has not
complained of any warfare npon it nor
•eked tor quarter from any one. Its record
is made op, and on this I am willing to
•bide the judgment of tho public.
J. F. Bassos.
In asmtxlog the management of the
•aacon TsLduitAEH, it i. bst right that I
-should briefly oatline the fatare policy of
.the paper. I regard the present tariff rates
css unnecessarily high and shall support tbe
President and the great body of tbs Demo
cratic {tarty In their efforts to reduce tbe
same. A gradual rednotlon that will not
seriously interfere with mannfactnring in
forests seems to bo tho rcasonablo course.'
I shall not forget that the great agricul
tural interests cf the country must be eon
ai tiered In reaching a just conclusion.
I shall do all in my power to inpport onr
gallant Governor and patrlotio Legisla
ture in their efforts to advance the wel
fare cf tbe Btale, and will especially de
vote myself to every objeet which prom
isos advancement of the material, Intel
lectual and moral condition of the city of
Macon. J. □. Campbell,
At a meeting of the directors of theTxLB-
oeai-u and Uxasrueou Pnblisbtng Company,
held on 8atnrday at noon, tho resignations
of Col A. It. Lamar, cdltor-in-chief, and II.
8. Edwards, assistant editor, were received
and accepted. At a meeting of the stack-
holders, held immediately thereafter, all
stock being represented, the resignations of
the old directors were received end accepted,
and the following gentlemen were elected to
-oonstitate a new board: Messrs. J. H. Camp
bell, M. Nosabaom, T. D. Tinsley, 8. T.
Coleman and George B. Turpin.
Tbe reorganization of the editorial staff
has not yet been (Dieted. In the meantime
the editorial department is condacted by
.Messrs. □. S. Edwards and Robert Haydn.
Political ffansey Sniffles.
For many months certain political Ran-
gey Sniffles have indcstrionsly attempted
to breed a breach between the President
and Mr. Randall. This la the latest sample,
as wired from Washington to the Louisville
Courier-Jpurnal:
• Eentncky Democrat, who erjoyi the meat In-
Ornate political relation! with Bpaakfr Carlisle,
ade yeaterdar the following atatement: "We are
going to pass a raeanue measure this winter. Ilia
true that no deSnlte plan was outlined daring the
recant vl.lt of Mr. Carlisle to Outlaw, bat It was
unquestionably decided that party policy demand
thie abonld ha done. Mon than thla, Preaidant
Cleveland emphatically atatod to Speaker Carllala
that ha would do hla part In bringing it about. Ha
aald ha ahoold emploj tlgorona manure# If nacea-
•ary to reach thla nault. Mr. CarlUle promlaed
that he would bo equally firm.
In the abeenco of tbe name of the Kin-
tucky Democrat, Mr. Carlisle abonld have
been pat upon tbe stand himself. Hearsay
testimony it not admissible in eases of this
kind. If the President has threatened to
ate “vigorous measures" for tbe purpose of
patting any bill through, it Is due the public
and especially due tbe Democratic party that
they abonld be made known. In tbe ab
sence of definite information npon tbe sub
ject, one might conolnde that
Mr. Cleveland bas determined
take n spell at reading Mr. Randall ont
tbe Demccratio parly. No well inform
ed person takes stock in Bach staff.
Jnst before the Pennsylvania convention
Ihe Pre-ident bestowed six eppeintmonts
up >n men recommended by Mr. Randall.
may be that be bas often given Mr. Car
lisle similar tokens of his affeotion. If so,
no mention bas been made of the foot. On
the contrary, tbe complaint in Kentccky,
that tbe divide has neither been fair or
fast.
But Mr. Cleveland himself bas compre-
hendtd tbe importance of checking tbe
campaign work alluded to. He has author
ized tbe pnblioation of tbe feet that, that all
reports abont tariff conferences between
himself, Mr. Carlisle end others, at Oak
View, were “mere speculations.” It may
be that Mr. Cleveland finds Mr. Carlisle
more companionable than Mr. Randall. It
has always been surmised that the
real love of tbe Mugwumps for Mr.
Cleveland Is based npon his leaning to
free trade. The Speaker cf tho Honse is
often oalled in consultation, witb tbe
President, bat there is no evidenoe which
can be reached end relied upon, that Mr.
Cleveland bas broken with Mr. Ran
dall. It would bo folly in him to do so,
and if be is tbe po itlclan that his friends
oiaim him to be, be bas mads no mistake of
this kind.
£ As wo have before remarked Mr. Randall
is as big a man in tbe Demoentlo party os
Mr. Cleveland, and no one is more aware of
this fact than Mr. Cleveland himself. This
will be understood, when wo qnote the
language of Mr. Grady, who is to have
charge cf Mr. Cleveland, shortly, as fol
lows:
The nearer the Democratic party cornea to carry
ing oot tho via# and coneervativavtewa of Mr. Ran
dall, the nearer It will coma to carrying Maw Tort;

Mr. Davie and the mate Fair.
Tbe Atlanta Constitution publishes a
long article from a Biloxi paper containing
whBt purports to bo an interview with Mr.
Jefferson Davis, into which has been luge-
nionsly injected doubts tonebing his com
ing to Mscon during fair week, and putting
npon President NortbeD, of the Stato Fair
Association, the responsibility for making a
positive promise cf bis attendance.
What tbe object of the alleged Biloxi in
terview may be, in these misrepresenta
tions, is not worthy of discussion. Mr.
Davis' promise to come to Maoon was oon-
ditioned open the state of bis health at the
time bis presence was expected, and was so
published plainly in tbe To-ionam. Mr.
Northen made this statement, which was
published in both the Teleobaph and At-
lanta Constitution:
“Tho announcement of Mr. Davis's pos
sible visit, daring Confederate veterans' day
of tbe State Fair, bas created so mnch en
thusiasm tbrongnont tbe entire bontb, that
I fear tbe pnblio will fail to remember that
bis coming is conditional. In my telegram
from Mississippi City, in my statements be
fore tbe citizen's meeting, after my return
from Beauvoir, in each of tho great num
ber of letters that I have addressed to tbe
distinguished officers of the Confederate
army, I made it e special point to eay, that
Mr. Davis's visit would depend npon bis
physical condition. If he is well enough be
will be glad to come. If be caonot come
without tisk, I am ante no gallant Confed
erates would have bint hazard tor a moment
tbe life all of ns bold so dtar.
“This statement is made, that no man
may be disappointed, in case Mr. Davis
should not be able to get here. I farther
promised Mr. Davis that he abonld net be
nndnly taxed by demonstrations on tbo
way, nor improper cxoilement after he
reaobed the city. Demonstrations to bis
honor and for tbo memories he bo graDdly
represents will certainly be in order, but
Mr. Davis is not strong enough to be in
any way drawn into tbe attendant excite
ment. Let the soldiers who oomo together
on that day understand, in advance, that
Mr. Davis mnst not bo embarrassed by
demonstrations that he has not tbe
strength to stand."

The Return of the Boas.
Dating the palmleet days of Republican
rale there came to the front in Washington
City a man of great energy, ehrewdnees
and native ability. Gov. Alexander Shep
herd assumed and played the role of Tweed.
Ha spent millions, acenmnlated a Urge for
tune himself, bnllt him a palace, bestowed
financial and other favors npon his henoh-
men, and inangnrated a fat time generally.
It is charged that ba eqnandered tho pnblio
moneys, that bU methods were nnsompn-
loos, and tbe people were grievonsly har
dened with taxes. Bat Boss Shepherd in
augurated the improvements which have
made Washington one of the most magnifi
cent cities in the world. Riverses came and
tbe Bote was stripped of bis power and
tits plunder, but hie Mends stack to him
with a loyalty that was as uncommon as it
was strong. Gathering the little left to
him, some years since, ha went to Mexloo,
to reenperato his fortune by working a sil
ver mine. From time to tide flattering ac
counts came of hU success, bat in the early
snmmer he returned to hU homo near
Waihington still broken in fortune and
somewhat shattered in health. The friends
of tbe Boss, tie still faithful to him, and
recently a meeting has been held, at which
it wss decided to offer him a triumphal de
monstration.
“The general aentiment of the meeting
was to get np a demonstration on tho most
elaborate scale, without regard to expense,
and to make it of snob • character that it
would be a memorable ttsttmonUl to ont of
Washington's most dittlngu.sbed citizens.
0. 0. Lancaster proposed that the citizens
of Washington, headed by the District com-
mUslonen, meet Governor Shepherd at Ihe
ornflnea of the District, and there tender to
him the freedom of tbe nation's capital with
tbe golden key* npon a velvet cushion.
A large committee composed of the most
prominent oUizcts bae been railed to carry
ont tbe programme, end tbe dethroned Boas
ii again to be woleomed to the scenes of hU
former splendor.
Times have changed, though tho friends
cf tbe Boas have not Tbe Boca himself is
too fst advanced in jean to hope to recover
bU former supremacy, bat hU Utter yean
may be made pleasant in the city tbit has
beta made clean and beautiful by bU
genini and energy. It wea olcs proposed
to erect a monument to Tweed, bnt he died
a e.nvict, in priaon. The Boaa of the
National Capital has had tho good fortune
to escape a fata «o aad, even if deserved.

ba raceived with general si defection as af
fording the promise of case to tbe money
-market, end so relieving a strain that began
to ba regarded with eonsiderabU solid-
This sqnarcB Mr. Northen's record. It
is supplemented by the Gonatitntion’e edi
torial remarks npon the Biloxi article:
We hasten to say that President North-
of tbe State Fair, has been entirely
frank in dealing with the pnblio on this
subject and has, in onr opinion, tbrown
more doubt on Mr. DavU's visits than really
exists. In onr opiniou, Mr. Davis will be
at the State Fair. He U a man of strong
will and fortitude. A letter written by bim
expresses tbe pnrpose to be in Macon if bis
health will permit Mr. Northen has jbeen
exceedingly oarofnl in all bU statements on
the subject and If Mr. DavU’s health
should be snob that he oonld not attend the
State Fair, Mr. ^Northen would be cordi
ally acquitted of any Intention to mislead.
We repeat, that in onr opinion Mr. Davis
will be in Macon. We feel assured that his
health will survive tor many snob trips, and
that ho will be able without serious drain
npon it to receive in Maoon In Oetober snob
a welcome as was given him in Atlanta
JWW «go.”
Of Mr. Davis coming, in addition to thiB
wo qnote hU own letter to General Lee, in
Richmond, published In Saturday's Tei-k
obaph, In whloh after acknowledging the re
ceipt cf an invitation to be prceontatthenn-
veiling of a statue of Robert E. Loo, he
says:
“It was my earnest desire to pay that
tribute to the memory of tho great and
good man which, from tho abundance of
my love and esteem, would probably bo the
last it would ba practicable for me to ran
der. If my health and strength should per
mit, I am under those ocndltlone pledged
to attend a re union of ex Confederate
soldiers, who, from all poilions of tho
Sontb, are expeeted to assemble at Maoon,
Ga., on tbo 26th of Ootober, during the
fair, which begins on tho 24th of October.”
Private letters to persons in Mscon re
peat the same assnrance, one of them o ou-
pled with the Information that be was gain
ing strength. Upon tbU the TzLzonarn is
willing to stand security for the attendance
upon the State Fair of Mr. Davis,
health and etrongth abonld permit.” The
Constitution lightly says “he U a man of
strong will and fortitndtthese who know
him do not requlro to be assnred of this.
It may be added that It will Uko a great deal
of Ul-health to keep him away from Maoon
whose people he dearly loves. An illns
trstion of the extent of thu will was given
daring hU trip to Atlanta. Between West
Point and that city he lay stretched npon}
bed In a sleeping car utterly prostrated by
the fatigues of the preceding day’s cele
bration in Montgomery. Repeated ealU
wsre aids for his
a station where a number of old Confeas
were gathered to eeo him. Several gentle-
men eddreesed the crowd, effering thanks
In Mr. DsvU'e name for the attentions in
tended for him, and explaining that he was
too lick to be seen. General Gordon was
speaking when Interrupted by repeated
calls tor “Davis.” “Gentlemen," he cried,
‘yon cannot eeo Mr. Davie; ho is too un
well." “Then,” exolaimed a grisly old fel
low on the outskirts of tho crowd, “bring
ont his hat and let ns look at that" Mr.
Davis within the ear heard the request. “I
most go ont and speak to those people,”
he sold, teen filling his eyes, “I must go
ont and speak to them.” He was assisted
to rise, and leaning npon a friend walked
ont npon tho rear platform. A most tre
mendous applause greeted him end he
delivered a touching fire minutes' address,
his vcice ringing cut dear as a bell and his
form growing as erect again as when be
stood the onset of the Mcxiean cavalry at
Bnena Vista. At the does he walked back
to bis bed without assistance. -
If he is physically able to come to Macon
the same indomitable will will sustain him,
for his heart is here already.
MK. DAVIS COMING.
Jeff Davie is eoming.
Let it ring all along tho line.
How is it known?
Well, it baa been known for several weeks
to tbe readers of Ihe Maoon TzLioaarH.
Only recently Mr. Davis has pnt himself
under sign mannal on tbe question.
Here is what be said recently. We quote
from tbe Richmond Diapatobr
In response to an invitation to be pres
ent and join in tbe ceremonies of laying
the corner stone of tbe Lee monument Oo-
tober 27tb, tbe Hon. Jtfferson Davis has
written the following letter to Governor
Lee, who is ex-officio president of Ihe Lee
Monament Association:
“Beacvoib, Miss-', September 13, 1887.—
My Dear General Lee: Your very kind let
ter of the 8'.h fnotimt has been received.
It has been my hope and expectation to
be present, if possible, whenever the oor-
ner-stono should be laid cf tbe monument
in commemoration of my friend and com
patriot, Robert E. Lee,
It was my earnest desire to psy that
tribute to tho memory cf the great and
good man whiob, from tbe abundance of
my love and esteem, wcnld probably be the
last it would be praoticablo tor me to ren
