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; and the earn# may ba aald of Connecticut, Mew Jeraey, Virginia, North Carolina andTenneaata. 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."

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.

Or tub proposed purchase of bonds tbe New Turk Herald eaye: “TbU action will 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.
