J? Clinton B. Flake, candidate for

The opening paragraph expresses his

f Indianapolis convention, and formal-
Lents the nomination. It then proceeds
T|o*i: “Within a few years the tern-

I*, broad a ileuund aa this can be met in
lone way. It has been well said‘politi-
i reform can become a fact in government
Ir through the political party that admin-
Kri the government.’ A reform so vast as
we advocate, involving such radi-
c barges in State nnd nation-
policy, is utterly dependent
its agitation and consummation
■on some particular agent or force. The
Eonal Democratic party in its platform
Ters no word in condemnation of the geat-
■t foe of the Republic, the liquor traflie,

to My Friend* and Fellow-Citizens of
“.^tateef Q*o gia: The object of tin's
Publication is to inform those of you who
j ? elected members of the next Legis-
“ture, that I am a candidate for re-elec-
wd to the judgeship of the Stone Menn-
circuit. I declare myself thus early,
jttaube heretofore there was opposition to
from an imprev-ion that l would not
* * candidate. As my official duties will
tk ne,r *y all he time until the end of
".year, making it difficult to aee or write
“most who may be members, I deem it
r Cfi,J * ( 7 to explain my position, that they
■V’.act after full knowledge.
* ksti I am the present judge of the cir-
. -iiu UJr first of Jauuury n ext I shall
Reserved the first and'abort term of
year, and three months. It was
"'a °*ing to my administration, and to
“ v efforts before the last Legislature, that
“* Circuit was made permanent. When
lone Douglas was added, wliich largely
my labors, but to wbicli I c’.eer-
u -‘y .ic-ented. The duty wa' imposed
cion m e by the law to aid in the business of ,
* Atlanta circuit, which labor is about
one-half ns much aa in all the oilier filrci'
Fulton county the new circuit owes its
creation. So while Fulton is nominally
uot ill the circuit, really it is, and, geo
graphically, it is more convenient to have
the judge at Atlanta, where also lie is con
stantly needed.
2. The judgeship lias thrown me out of
the line of practice, and at my age (61
years) it will he burn to build up a prac
tice, upon which 1 would be dependent for
the support of a family of invalid sons and
daughter*. Two, a son and a daughter, are
bed-ridden, and have been so for more than
three years, and the two other daughters
arc also invalids.
3. 1 can be more useful as a judge than
in any other vocation, because 1 have thus
served for fifteen years of
my professional life, and con
tinuously for the past twelve and a half
years, except a year and a half. Expe
rience i as proved my physical strength
fully equal to the discharge of my duties,
whether judicial or professional, and my
heatili and strength are better now than
for the last tweniy-two years. I am sever
al years younger than other c ccuit judges
now presiding who give satisfaction, and
also younger than several of our Supreme
Court judgee, when they presided. I am
three years younger than United States
Senator Brown, anti the same age of Unit
ed States Senator Colquitt. My apology
for referring to this is my knowledge that
my age is used as an argnment against me.
It has been the custom of Georgians to
cast aside their old men, who have given
their best years to the public service, and
who are yet able, mentally and physical
ly to serve.
4. As a large majority of our Legislators
will probably be young men, many of
whom do not know mo or my hi tury, I
beg to be excused for stating that besides
the ye.rs I have served as judge, I am the
only survivor of the Commissioners to codify
the laws of our State, which was done in
the years 1869 aad 1880, but the code did
not take effect until first of January, 1863
—that much of the law therein originated
with me and lias stood the test of time and
investigation; but of all the public duties
I have performed, I prize the most, that of
sole counsel for the State in her litigation
with the creditors of the Bank of Darien in
the years of U54 and 1855, involving a lia
bility of $250,000, in which I was success
ful against several of the most distin
guished lawyers of the State, and whiqh
will he better understood by reference to
the case of Robinson et al. vs.. State of
Georgia, 18 Ga. Rpis. p. 65. Alter this,
while judge of the South western circuit,
Chief Justice Lumpkin adopted' my _ opin
ion as that of the Supreme Court’s in the
important and intricate will case of Dan
iel et al. vs. Duncan. 33d Georgia. (Sup
plement) p. 29- These are the places of
trust I have filled in the line of my pro
fession, and do not deem it necessa-y to re
fer to others of a political nature.
5. It is with reluctance, with regret,
even with humiliation, I thus write of
myself. Rather than do 60 1 would cheer
fully retire in favor of the young men
who seek my displacement, for it pains me
to hold an office that others covet. I pre
fer obscurity tn anrh a situation, but the
losses I sustained by the war of plantation
property in common with so many, and
in family affliction since, leave me no
choice but to fight for the helpless ones
dependent upon me. If re-cleciod I will
let my past record be t lie guarantee for
the future, in wh ch I think it will be
found 1 have been true to my trust, and
that such errors ns I have committed have
“leaned to justice Bide.”

THE DEAD GENERAL.

Which Caused Three Men to he Oadljr
lturneu— *Tiu*t primmed It.
About fivo o’clock yesterday nfternoon a
loud report waB heard on Cherry street, in
tho viciuity of the confectionary store of
L. Merkel. In front of the store a num
ber of workmen bad been engaged in lay
ing small piping from the gas mains in
the street. They stopped work and for a
moment wete at a lo s wliat to do. Mrs.
Merkel was in the eiore at the time and
was considerably startled by tho report,
and was frightened to sec some of the
flooring in the front portion of the store
raised up nnd a volume of smoke nnd
flame issuing therefrom. Water was
thrown on the fire and it was soon put out.
In the meantime Mf. IIenry Brown and
two negro workmen, William, Evans and
Rolla O'Neal, came up rom the cellar by
the back.entrancewiththeirclotheson fire,
and each more or less burned about the lace
nnd arms. Mrs. Merkel tnct them nnd
a«ked them not to come through the Btore,
as the fire might he communicated to the
goods. They went into tho rear nnd suc
ceeded in putting out ihe fire, which was
consuming their garments, aided by their
fellow workmen nnd others who had
rushed into the building. The injured men
were placed in hacks nnd first ^ carried to
the drug store of Goodwyn & Small, and
from there to the office of Dr. Etheridge,
who dressed their wounds.
Mr. Brown was badly burned about the
face and head, one of his ears receiving
great injury. His hands aud arms were
burned (rightfully aud great blisters were
found on his beck.
O’Neal, an old man, was burned about
the liumhs and face, the llesli on his hands
being almost ready to drop off
Evans was burnt on the hands, but not
so badly as the others.
When Dr. Etheridge had attended to the
injuries, Mr. Brown was sent to his resi
dence, corner First and New Btrcets, and
the negroes were also sent to their homes.
How tlte accident occurred is explained
in this way: When the connection had
been made from the main to the stop cock
on the sidewalk, Mr. Brown opened the
stop cock and turned on the ga*. Then
forgetting that he had turn-d on the gas,
he wen! into the cellar witii the two work
men with a lighted candle to make the
connection with the meter. He had gone
nearly half the distance of the
length of the cellar when the llame of tiie
candle ignited the volume of gas and the
explosion followed. The force was suffi
cient to knock down the three men, but
they arose soon atteryarel and left the
cellar with their clothing ablaze.
The cause of the accident was mere care
lessness on the part of Mr, Brown. He
Was hurrying to get through with the
work mid forgot that ti e gas was turned
on. Had die waited five minutes longer
the cellar would have been filled with gas
aud the explosion would inivc iieeii such
as to have tumbled the whole building into
ruins.

16 "resident's Messnge to Congress Ft
malty Announcing the General's
Death-Action by the Two
Houses—Speeches.
yeiterday General 8heridan had been in un
usually good spirits, laughing and chitting
with liia brothers and members of the family.
At 7:S0 Dr. Matthews said the General was
doing so well that there would probably be
no bulletins issued for a week. After din
ner at the hotel, Mrs. Sheridan carried down
to the General a large slice of roast beef,
which he ate with apparent relish. He dozed
off occasionally during the afternoon, but
awoke at supper and then went to sleep
again. The unfavorable symptoms
made their appearance so unex
pectedly, nnd were ao rapid in
development that the children were aroused
barely in time to take a last look at their dy
ing father. With the General at the death
bed were Mrs. Sheridan, Mary, Louise, Irene
and Philip, the children; Colonel Sheridan,
his brother, with his wife, and sisters Jns-
tinia and Urban and Dr. Matthews. Mrs.
Sheridan and the nurses were on their knees
in prayer as his spirit departed. Mrs.
Kellogg, a dear frieud of the family, ar
rived just at the mopient the last breath
was drawn, and assisted Mrs. Sheridan to
her feet, when she closed the eyes of the de
ceased. At 2.o. in. the embalmere were in
possession of the body. Up to a late hour
nothing had been decided as to the place cf
interment, bat it was thought, the body
won Id be taken to Illinois, where the Gen
eral has a family lot and where his mother
is buried. •
Illustrative of the confidence felt by Mrs.
Sheridan in the ultimate recovery of her
husband, it may be stated that only a few
days ago she sent to Chicago money to) pay
off a small mortgage on real estate owned by
the General in that city, and that she had
made some pre-»rrangements with a view to
permanent removal of the General from
Nonquitt early in September, fearing that
the cold winds of autumn might relax wlmt
she hoped would be his speedy restoration
o health.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR TIIE KUSERAL. .
It was this morning substantially arranged
that General Sheridau’a remains should be
transported to Washington in a special car
to leave New Bedford Wednesday, and that
funeral services will be held in St, Matthew’s
Church as soon as possible thereafter, either
Thursday or Friday. The work of embalm,
ing the General’s body was begun at on early
hoar this morning. General Sheridan has
repeatedly expressed strong dislike of dis
play in funerals, and, in accordance
with his wishes and those of
Mrs. Sheridan, the services in Washington
are to bens simple as possible. The funeral,
however, will, ot course, be a military one.
The interment will be at Arlington Military
Cemetery near Washington, if nsmruceoan
be obtained that his wife nnd children may
he given a resting place beside him. •
Messages of coiniolenewto Mrs. Sheridan
are arriving at Nonquitt from all parts of the
country. They are forwarded by telephone
from New Bedford, the nearest telegraph
station. Mrs. Sheridan b;nrs up with great
zclf-controi, but 1; terribly grief.stricken.
the shock having been intensified by reason
of the cheering reports nnd apparently
cheerful outlooK of the Inst few days. It la
learned that, although the symptoms of
heart-failure began some forty minutes be
fore the General’s death, although no possi
ble exertion was spared to bring him out of
It by the vigorous application of nil tho
known remedies, the General's condition
was apparently not more dangerous than it
had been on a number of occasions when tiie
remedies accomplished their purpose. In
jections of digitalis, applications of mustard
plasters, use of ammonia and repeated ap
plications of a powerful galvanic battery
were employed last sight, but nil proved un
availing even to arouse the General from the
state of complete mental unconsciousness,
into which ho tell soon after the first symp
toms of heart-failure, in which he remained
until he drew his last breath.

Washington, August 7.—Senator B'air
introduced tiie following joint resolution,
which was referred to the committee on
foreign relations:
Resolved, That the President be requested
to open negotiations with the government
of Her Brimnnic Majesty (in which the Do
minion of Canada and the several political
subdivisions thereof shall be representd)
with n view to the settlement
of all differences between Her Majesty’s
government and the United States, nnd es
pecially to an arrangement of terms mutual
ly just, honorable and satisfactory for politi
cal union between the Dominiou
of Canada (or between any
of the several provinces or subdivisions
of the Dominion of Canada) and the United
Sut es, subject to the approval of the peo
ple of the Dominion of Canada, or of the
people of any province or subdivision there
of who may he included in such arrange
ment, and to ratify thenuion by the United
States, in sueh manner as Congress may
provide, sneh political union to be republi
can in foiiu ann iu accord with the constitu
tion of the United States; and negotiations
wav embrace inch further treaties, compacts
and alliances aa ahall be deemed nece.sary
for tiie future peace, happint-.*, security and
veneral welfare of her Majesty’s dominions
and of the United states.
THE COTTON BAGGING COMBINE.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, offered a reso
lution instructing the committee on finance
to inquire into the feet of the alleged com
bination or pool of producer* of cotton
begging; what companies and individuals
compose such pool: their methods of combi
nation; the effect of the pool ou the price of
article, etc.
lie spoke ol the tax of three cents a pound
on cottc a bagging as costing the cotton pro-1 a* tiie Frencl
ilucers of the countrv a million and n half of
dollars nod said that within some few days
the price had been raised (under the opera
tions of tiie pool and Nvithout the slightest
reason) from 7 cents a pond to lljf cents.
He suggested the entire removal of the ex-
Utisg duty on cotton bagging. The resolu
tion was, at the suggestion of Senator lal-
uiunih, (wbo said he sympathized with it)
laid over till to-morrow.
pttign will be opened, and most of the
speakers who will stump tiie country.
Chief among them will be Speaker Car
lisle, Congressman Mills, Dani-1 Dough
erty, Congressman William L. Wilson, of
West Virginia, ‘-the Scholar in Politics,”
whose great speech in favor of tiie Mills
bill, when it was pending in the House,
gave him at once a national reputation;
Col. Johu R. Fellows, ex-Senator Doolit
tle, and Gen. Samuel F.Carey.
At present over 2,000,000 campaign
documen s are in the printers' hands, and
tin-ir distribution will begin next Wei nes-
day, the day when tiie Republicans will be
shouting themselves horse over the great
est living statesman. Col. Brice is con
fident that their perusal will have a great
French is spoken, and others where one i
hears nothing but German. Even those |
Lorrainers of the lower clas-.es, who habit
ually speak iu German pato s, persist in
calling themselves French whenever they
can do so with discretion. Young M<sains
vvho were boys when tliii city belonged to
France, and who haze served their time in
the German army, ri turn in tln-ir old su-sci-
I'iaiions ;i- mi,n ;t- they .-ire free: and tiu-y
have tiie credit of beii g more hostile to
the Germans than the older generation.
Yet indirect taxation (nils le.-s heavily
upon the workman here than it does in
1'ranee. Bread and toba co—only to name
two article-—are much cheaper here than
they are on the French side of the frontier
Oil the other hand, trade is languishing
and work of all kinds ia hard to obtain.
The Germans have spent vast sums upon
tiie construction of forts, but they have
been careful to employ only German and
Italiatj laborer’. The Lorrainers and Al
satians are evidently regaided as a con
quered people ready for rebellion. All at
tempt at conciliation appears to have been
abandoned; apil it look-, as if the provinces
were to lie Germanized by the forced emi
gration of those who are hound to France
ny family ties as well as by political sym
pathies. As the inhabitants leave, their
places are taken by Germane. Thus the
trade of Metz, which a few years ago was
almost exclusively in tho hands of the na
tive population, is now to a large extent in
the hands of the Germans.
All who have capital invested here,
deal more effect that the Blaine cheers. _ . ,
Many of the documents are short and to I whatever^ their political differences on
tiie point, displaying on a page or two tiie other points rasy be, are deeply ditcon-
riulical differences between the two parties,
The workingmen are shown that the high
tariff benefit* not them but their employer:
that while the empl- vermakes mooey they
do the work; that only by wide markets
can wages be increased. Col. Brice be
lieves in bright, terse, and emphatic pre
sentations of the issues. Of course thou
sands uf Congressman Mills’ great speeches
are circulated. No better campaign liter
ature than they can be found.
A reporter of the Times asked Col.
Brice :.bout the outlook yesterday. He
replied:
“1 am glad to he able to say that we
have just received cheering reports from
nearly every section of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa and Michigan. These reports relate
to tho desperate attempt which has been
made by the Republicans to create a defec
tion in the Democratic ranks, especially
by menus of ‘the free-trade scare ’ The
Republicans seem to have agreed upon a
determined onslaught in these States,
and they have tried every
means of effecting their purpose—
intrigues, pamphlets, subsidized newspa
pers, and speakers. All our reports show
that they have ceased to have effect and
that ‘the’ tide is now on tho turn.’ They
have done tbeir worst nnd our ranks arc
undisturbed. Now, we will begin opera
tions, and wp expect to make serious in
roads upon the Republican vote. Our let
ters from these States assure us that the
Democratic workingmen will atmdfast’v
support the Democratic ticket, and in ad
dition will act as propagandists aud induce
their Republican fellow workingmen to
vote with them.
“Among the things to which aii corre
spondents advert is tho great influence
which tho President’s brave and honest ad
ministration of the national government
has upon the plain people. Tiie Americnn
people admire a courageous man. n man
wiio d res do what lie believes to be right.
The President, through hi« whole adminis
tration, lias advocated and promoted meas
ures tending to the pronounced welfare of
the whole country, llisvery personality,
therefore, lias a powerful influence upon
the voters. The national committee liml
that thousands ef voters are going to vote
for Mr. Cleveland because they have
confidence in his patriotism, based upon
what he lias done since lie entered the
Whim House. They say, “He bus made a
good President, nnd we believe that lie
will continue to make a good President.”
This confidence in the President exists to
a wonderful extent in the agricultural
regions of the great West, nnd will make
itself felt on election day.
“Making ati allowances for the natural
enthusiasm ul our correspondents for tho
Democratic cause, I feel justified in say
ing that we will carry Miciiiguu, Minne
sota, Illinois, Wiseon-in, and Iowa, each of
which has hitherto been Republican ia
every Presidential election since 1852. I
refer to tlieso States, because they will
give us both branches of Congress nnd en-
uble the President to carry out tho great
measures of reform which arc now blocked
by the Republican Senate. Of course we
expect to carry New York, Indiana, Con
necticut, and New Jersey, the only other
States which enn fairly be called doubtful.
We understand what the Republicans are
doing to gain them, and we do not propose
to sleep.”
THE CO.MJltEREU CITY.
Metz at tiie Present Time—How the Trench
anil Geriuiins Get Alung Together.
I had not been in Metz twenty-four
hours, writes a correspondent of the St.
James Gazette, when J was informed that
the chief commissary of the police of the
third section wished to see me. I found
this personage sitting in uniform before a
desk in n little room. * Without beiDg cor
dial he was perfectly polite. It appeared
that 1 had not given sufficient information
concerning myself in the printed police
form which I had been requested to till up
on tbe previous night. 1 lie police not only
wished to know my name, nationality anu
profession, hut also the date of my birth
and my religion. I was also asked how
long 1 intended to stop in Metz, and how I
proposed to spend my time here. The ac
count I gave of myself seemed to be satis
factory ; for the inquisitorial expression
had left tin* commissary’s face at the close
of the interview, and lie was almost bland.
The jiolicc keep as firm a grip upon Metz
civil sense its the garrison does in a
tented with the new passport regulations
on account of the injury to trade. A
movement for petitioning the government
to do away with restrictions so injurious to
tiie interests of its own subjects is on foot.
And the passport grievance has been suc
ceeded by another—unimportant by com
parison, but one which tho Gallophil part
of tiie population regard as an extra drop
to their brimming cup of exasperation.
Until the first instant French money was
allowed to pa3s currently here; then an or

Living at Home.
Adairsville, August 16.—Mr. A. A.
Adcock, of Gcdar Creek township, brought
into town the other day a wagon 1 ad ol as
nice cured meats in hams and shoulders as
we see imported. This gentleman is
always up and doing. He raised this year
about 3,o00 pounds of pork, which is
almost a clear profit.
The above is nothingextraordinnry with
us, save the individual production of
pork. Many years have passed since im
ported meat has been seen here.
