In this isaue of tho Gazette appears
the name of Charles I). Toney as one
of the editors and proprietors. Mr.
Toney doesn’t need any introduction
to the people of Hanks for they have
known him from the cradle up; te ng
born and reared in the county.
Chairman Clay, m connection with
the populist managers at the jmJls,
says: “I want the populist to have
a manager at the polls, so that they
will be satisfied with the result, “lie
remarked: lam perfectly sure that
we can carry the state, but 1 want to
see the ticket elected honestly. If
wo can’t beat the populist fairly, wo
ougot not to have the offices. 1 will
not have anything to do with a can
paign that is not run honestly. It is
lot in my power to name the mana
gers; that is done by the local author
itieeineach county. In the Tenth
district the populist would not give
ns a manager in iheir counties. 1
shall urge our people to give the pop
ulist a manager at every box and I
shall ask the populist <o do tile same
by us in the counties which they con
trol. I shell ask them to aid us in
getting an honest cone* It tin**. is
done, noth parties sh uU be satistmd
with the result.

We are not taking any band in the
poiitica’ scramble at present. We
will publish the views of our readers,
but will not be responsible for them.
While the Gazette is democratic, it
cannot afford to injure its patronage
by “cussing” everybody else for not
being democrats. The Editor-in chief
being somewhat of a golden
turn of mind, while the As
sociate is an extreme silverite, but
neither one carring which way the
political wind blows; therefore we
hereby dedicate the Gazette to tho
instruction, amusement, and enter
tainment of all our readers.
Politics are in such a muddle that
no ono this side of heaven can tell
what is best for the people. McKin
ley says; ‘‘Give us tho ‘gold standard’
and ‘protective tariff’ and prosperity
will be ours.” Cleveland sxvs: “Give
"s the the ‘gold standard’ and ‘tariff
reform' and the hard times will surely
bo banished forever.” But about
this time we hear Billy Bryan crying
in the far West: “Give us ‘free silver’
and you thereby will convert this
troublesome world into a ‘laud flow
ing with milk and honey.’”
Now if such men as
Cleveland, and Bryan differ so far in
regard to cause and effect; how can
our readers expect us to ferret out
the cause and give the remedy.
We have no prejudice or bias resting
on our mind either for or against auy
person or persons on account of polit
ical convictions, therefore wo solicit
the patrouagu of everybody regardless
of size, color, political faith or any
thing else.
Three states hald elections next
month, but the result in all of them
is so clearly a foregone conclusion
that it will have no effect on the
national campaign, The state elec
tion in Vermont will occur next
Tuesday. The democrats are
in a hopeless minority in that state.
They poll about the same vote at
:very election and never seem to lose
heart by reason of successive and
severe drubbings.
On September 3rd the state elec
tion in Arkansas will bo held. There
is no reason to doubt that the demo
crats will sweep the state by their
usual majority, which is between 40,
000 and 50,000.
Maine will elect state officers on
Monday, September 14th.
There are five candidates for gove
rns, viz: the regular democrat nomi
nee, the bolting democratic candidate
the republican, tho populist, and the
prohibitionist.
The republicans claim that their
ticket will receive more votes than
the other fojir combined, and it
probably will.
They are makings very vigorous
campaign with a view to demonstrate
that Mr. Sewall will be badly br a‘en
in his own state.
In 1884 at the state election the
republicans polled 69,000 votos, the
democrats 30,000, the'populist 5,300
and the prohibitionist 2,T00.
Nobody will be surprised to see the
republicans sweep Maine, and ther e
wiil bo no reason for democratic dis
couragement on account of any
majority that may be rolled up
dgaiuds them in that state.
The Sentinel published at Canton
Ga., has suspended publication for
want of patronage.

Dr. Lockhart’s Reply to Mr. Cash
Mr. Editor; —I am aware that few
people care anything whatever about
a controversy between two individu- j
als carried on in the newspaper, but
there are some statements made by
Mr. Cask which I think any gentle
man who pretends to be a democrat
aud especially one who is in a posi
tion to solicit bis neighbors to vote to
sustain a democratic administration
jn Georgia should he able to answer.
Your readers will remember that in
Mr. Cash’s first article he asserted
that the state owed a bonded debt
amounting to over $18,000,000.00 a
part of the same being charged to the
taxpayers at 7 per centum per annum.
He also charged a great deal of ras
cality to the democrats in a general
way, Out did not make any specific
charges against any certain governor
or particular administration and when
I called upon him in my reply to bis
article for the charges and specifies,
tions, ho failed entirely and bis charges
of rascality and corruption in office
fell to the ground. He failed to point
out a single democratic governor or
state treasurer who had defaulted
Not in a single instance has he come
up to the scratch and made bis grave
charges good by telling tho people
who it is that has committed such
grave crime against the people, neither
does he give us a list ot the
bonds of Georgia showing how it
is that he makes out the enormous
amount of over $18,000,000.00 o;
pointed out the ones charged to the
people at 7 per cent.
In a vague sort of way he tells us
that a certain governor ran away to
New York and carried $400,000.
The facts in the case are as follows-'
When Governor Jenkins was driv
en out of office at the point of tho
bayonet in 18G7, and the Military
Governor Gencrel Ruger was installed
in his steaii by the Federal authorities
he refused to deliver the books of the
Treasury and the money in the vaults
(noi oni fifth of 8100,000.00) to gener
al Ruger. but as soon as civil govern
meut was lestored in 1868 Governor
Jenkins and Treasurer Jones settled
with Bullock, a Republican Governor,
and a Republican legislature and re
stored the books and every dollar of
the money to the entire satisfaction of
Bullock and his legislature.
Your correspondent has doubtless
got thing: mixed. Governor Bullock
a Republican, and his legislature also
Republican, who settled with Jenkins
and acknowledged,* be receipt ofevery
dollar Jenkins ever hail, a few months
afterward when they had spent every
dollar Jenkins returned, diverted all
of the school fnml, $402,000, and p id
themselves with it and never replaced
a dollar of it. So you see the shoe is
on the other foot. ■'
Now Mr. Cash saysl know nothing
about the bonded debt but for the
benefit of your readers 1 hand you
here with State Treasurer Hardeman’s
financial statement up to April 24
1806, as follows :
Amount of bonded debt Dec. 31st
1877 was $10,014,500
Since that date the state has paid
$2,405,000, leaving $8,140,500 and
has assume, 1 on account of Northeas
tern railroad bonds $287,000 making
the bonded debt to date $8,436,500.
Since that time $300,000 of the above
amount has been paid out of the treas
ury, leaving total bonds now carried
by the slate $8,130,500, of this amount
$275,000 is pledged to the State Uni
versity as an endowment fund. Those
B mds, I admit, are listed at 7 per
cent, and they are the only ones over
•1J percent per annum.
The total income of the state, from ;
tax on $410,000,090 property, Wes- i
tern and Atlantic railroad, Georgia
railroad stock, telegraph stock, hive j
of convicts, poll tax and other sources j
is $2,739,000, of this the public
schools get $1,161,000. maimed sol
dieru $295,000; widows $235,000. In
terest or. public debt $378 000 stale
institutions $‘275,000, civil establish
ment 5125,000, other appropriations
$259,132.
Now Mi - Editor, I again assert that
Georgia has prospered under demo
cratic government. We Lave one piece j
of propertv —'he Western and Atlan
tic railroad, which would, if sold, pay ,
off the public debt and leave a neat
surplus in the Treasury. But as long
as it is managed as it bas 1 e~*n under
democratic government, why sell it?!
It more than pays enough to discharge
the annual interest on our bonded debt

Editing a newspaper is a plesant
business —if you can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements
the subscribers complain that they
take tco much space.
If there is a scarcity of advertise
ments it is unpopular and the people j
won't have it.
If wc attend church regularly they
say we go for effect.
If we stay away from church, they
say we are heathenish.
If we accept an invitation to a wed
ding, tli •y say we are only invited to
‘write i. up.”
If *r go to a snow they say wo go
on free tickets.
If wc arc seen on the streets often
they s: v we neglect our business.
If we avoid going on the streets

If wo reject a long comma _

If we publish lengthly communica
tions onr readers say wc lack discre

If we are single, they say we are
too helpies to get married.
If we are not single, they say it is a
pity for our wives-
If we publ.sh a man who has
brought disgrace upon his family the

If we, out of goodness of heart, de
