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.

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. Blessed is the Editor that walketh not in the path of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of tho scornful for his light ever shineth in darkness and in his office work doth he meditate day and night.

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 liy more tbau S4I,CW) per year.
