The Republican party seems to have
become at least partly reconcided to the
fact that Georgia Went Democratic,
r——p AP Ml s
Mr. Watson has served notice on the
country that he doesn’t expect any
thing and will therefore be dissapoint
ed.

Somebody has dug up the unpleasant
fact that Candidate Tibbles’ letter cf ac
ceptance has not yet been made public,
Will that one end it?

‘‘Secretary Taft'’ says an exchange,
‘‘has now got his estimate of the cost of
the Phillaphines to the United States
down tc $189,000.000,”" And it is still
several weeks until the day of the elect
ion, The Secretary may be ableto scale
off that odd $89,000,000 before Novem
ber comes in,

The Philadelphin Record (Dem.) says:
‘lt is somewhat creditable to the Republi
can newspapers that not one of them has
undertaken to defend or apoligise for the
reckless libels of Roosevelt upon the mem
ories of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack
son and nearly all his predecessors in the
presidential office But what wodul be
much more creditable to these Republican
newspapers would be the condign repud
iation of the author of these libels upon
the illustriousdead. Their silence, how
¢ ver, betu ke s their shame."”
The Lowsville Courier Journal (Dem )
says: ‘‘The trusts continue to cut wages,
notwithstanding the monopaly they enjoy
in the market for their products, the
steady rise in the price of the necessaries
of life and the approach of winter, with
its increased hardship, for the wage ear
ner, At the Joliet plant of the Steel Cor
porations there has been a reduction in
some departments of from 2o to 40 per
cent. If this is done before the election,
it is easy to predict what would be the
policy if the republican ticket should be
elected.”
The Montgomery Advertiser ,Dem)
says: - ‘‘Bourke Cochran says, ‘Republi
canism is an apetite,’ Mauy years ago a
publi¢ speaker refer-ed to the opposite
party as ‘an organized apetite,” which was
a little more pointed than Cochran's way
of putting it, Lut both expressions are
good. . They reach out far the office ‘as
if increase of appetite had grown by what
itisfedon, Asa pariyiti never satisfied
and as individuals the members of the
party are never satisfied. Itis an excel
lent time to choke the Party off the pub
lic teat and give it a chance to learn a Lt
tle moderation.”
S e
The New York World (Dem.) says:
‘Tue Spooner republicans, it is said, will
ask the courts for permission to print the l
names of the Republican electors at the
head of their independant siate ticket on
the ground that electors are federal offi
cers and candidates tor such office do not
come within the provisions of the anti
fusion laws. 1n a Michigan case the courts
held that candidates for Congress came
within the provisions of the anti-fusion
laws. The office of elector would seem
to be as much a state office as that of Rep
resentative, so it may be doubtful of Rep
resentative, so it may be doubted if the
courts will help the Stalwarts out of the /;
predicament.”
Elect the County Commis- l
sioners By the People.
Every time a grand jury of only 18 men
elect a set of county Commissioners, by
‘abare majority, there is only ten men who
tule for a whole county Since ten in
such a time is enough. e
Every time agrand jury is left with the
selection of the most important officers in
the county the balance of the county is
totally disfranchised and has no say in
the matter at all.
Elect the county Commissioners by the
people have a say so about. They have a
right to doso, Any other way is an oli
garchy Any other way is a ruling the
County. Lets agitate for a change. Elect
the County Commissioners by the people.
If the people cant be trusted a few men
from among the people are but a part of
the people any way.

up and converted into pulp, became pa
paver and passed from the factory to the
press, whence the first printed and folded
copy was issued at 10 o'¢ lack, so that
in 141 minutes the trees had become news
papers.
