It will be observed that the people are
choosing pretty good men as Democratic
candidates for the Legislature.
Fob the real welfare of the country the
Gettysburg reunion was worth all the ex-

war. '
The Kastman Times has been revived

its new career full of vigor and with ex

Ben Harrison prescribed bullets for the
laboring men who struck against monopoly

The Democrats of the West were never

It is no longer a chain-gang offense in
Atlanta to get “full” three times. Some

Macon was at the top of the list yester

performances wore insignificant beside that

The Democrats of Quitman county
tnade themselves ridiculous yesterday.
AVe hope they will acquire a little more

Tom Ilatt has selected Warner Miller
as the Republican candidate for Governor
of New York. Warner beat Turn for the

never forgiven him.
The lovera of pedeatrianUm in Macon

Now that all the important events of
the Chicago convention have been chroni-
oled and commented upon, it is remem
bered that one R. B. Hayes was s member
of the Ohio delegation. He once acted as
President of the United States.
ern Republicans who are opposed to Fed
eral coercion of the South, and think that
natural forces should be allowed to settle
the race question. He says of ex-Governor
Chamberlain that he “has meekly kissed
the hand that smote him, and become now
a New York city Democrat, u maligner of
the Republican party, and a defender and
apologist for every crime of the Democratic
party.” Ex-Governor Bullock, of this
State, is referred to as a “similar outcast,
who purchased his peace and a safe return
to Georgia” hy ceasing to defend the po
litical rights cf negroes.
To any but a prejudiced mind the judg
ment based on full knowledge of a sub
ject is worth infinitely more than a judg
ment formed without knowledge. There
fore, the conclusions reached by Messrs.
Chamberlain and Bullock are likely to be
more generally accepted than those of the
ignorant and partisan Mr. Chandler. Both
of these gentlemen are of high intelligence,
are conscientious Republicans, and have
had exceptionally good opportuni.ies to
get at the truth of the Southern situation,
Their experience as office-holders was not
such as would naturally make them friend-
to Southern Democrats, by whom they
were fiercely opposed. In 6pite of this
they believe that under Democratic man
agement the difficult problems left by the
war are in process of speedy settlement,
and that that, settlement, nan only be d
layed by Federal interference. This we
understand to be their Attitude from pub
lished letters.
What does Senator Chandler know about
the relations of the races in the South?
He resided a few weeks in Florida during
the fall of 1876, but at the time he was
certainly too busy with negotiations to
change the result of the election in that
State to have leisure for a study of the
negro question. Since then he has mani
fested no interest in tho subject beyond a
desire to put in the worst possible light
the conduct of white men wheu unfortu
nate conflicts between the races occurred.
He no doubt regrets that those
conflicts were not more fre
quent and of more recent date. Senator
Chandler’s judgment in this matter can tie
neither intelligent nrr impartial.
Northern men who sre in nnsunlsn n(
received an
ovation from the ex-Confoderates. Good
people, the country over, watched the re
union with peculiar interest and patriotic
pride. It seemed to them to be the burial
of sectionalism. It was an inspiring spec
tacle to behold the surviving heroes of the
two great armies of the North and South
meet as friends on the scene of their most
desperate encounter.
But there were some minds too narrow,
somejsouls too small, to take in the true
significance of this event. Such men are
usually to be pitied, but when they parade
their littleness they become objects of con
tempt to nobler natures.
Among the visitors to Gettysburg were
“General” Gobin and “Quarterma ter-
General” Taylor, who came as members of
the Grand Army of the Republic. We re
gret that we are not able to give our read
ers full information as to the war record of
these gentlemen. We find nothing about
them in the accounts of the battle of Gettys
burg, but as they > declare that they were
there we will accept their words in the ab
sence of conflicting testimony. It appears
that Messrs. Gobin and Taylor (we use
Messrs, because we have no official infor
mation as to their correct military titles)
did not enter into the spirit of the occasion
at all. In fact they appear to have betn
verv unhappy when nearly everybody else
was glowing with generous emotions and
patriotic fervor.
For some reason Messrs. Gobin and Tai
lor had not been assigned to places on the
programme. They got up a little meetin
of their own at which they ventid
their terrific ire. Mr. GobinV
oratory was especially lurid and sul-
phurous. He said he was getting tired
this gush and pretense for the glorification
of a veteran simply because he wore a gr-r-
uniform with a Southern flag priuted on
his badge. That badge meant treason and
rebellion in 1861, and what it meant then
it meant now. He thought the Idea of
reunion was overdone,. and was being used
only as a leverage to foist certain indi.
viduals into notoriety at the expense of
the principles for which the North had
fought and to the elevation of the prin
ciples of disloyalty.
Gobin concluded as follows: “I want it
to be distinctly understood, now and f&
of force is necessary to protect the Italians ( The State Denocratiocommittee called that;

in their right. Nevertheless the case of
the American workmen is a hard oce, and
we hope they will find peaceful means of
ameliorating it.
It is not at Findlay alone that cheap for
eign labor is driving native workmen out
of employment. The new Croton aqueduct
to supply New York with water,
one of the greatest engineering
enterprises of the country, and will cost
many millions of dollars. Five out of
every eight of the men employed to do the
work are unnaturalized foreigners. In jill
of Pennsylvania the same thing !b seen.
Foreigners have supplanted natives in
many mines and iron works.
This is to be regretted. It haB a tenden
cy to lower wages and the standard of liv
ing, and is therefore an evil. The direct
competition of these cheap living foreign
ers, however, may teach American work
ingmen an important lesson—that they are I belong to her. It might be well to dispel

future occasions. There is no reason why
one city shou.’d have a monopoly of all the
State conventions. The State Democratic
committee seems to have fallen into the
habit of voting the conventions to Atl nta
and ignoring the claims of all other places.
We hope the committee to he chosen at the
August convention will be composed of
gentlemen who will get out of this rut. A
good supply of new material on the com
raittee might be advantageous in several
ways. The people are getting tired of the
monopoly of Atlanta in the matter of State
Democratic conventions. Atlanta has had
them so long that she actually thinks they
is due to Blakely, Ga.
