can do m> better than to send Col.

DEMOCRATS UNITE.
Fromour mjitfa>• CoerrsootuUnt.
Washington, May 21, 1891.
There is nothing like
a united front to the enemy for con¬
vincing them that business isrneant.
The senate just now presents a
striking confirmation of this asser¬
tion. Just as soon as every r emo-
oratic senator in town signed an
agreement to remain in their seats
each day until Senator Harris
should move to adjourn the repub¬
licans saw that the filibustering jig
was up, unless they were prenared
to remain in their seats for an in¬
definite period to keep it up and
there was little probability of suc¬
cess iven then, as the silver repub¬
licans publicly gave notice of their
intention to aid the democrats in
keeping a quorum and in getting a
vote on the bill, and there are other
republican senators who privately
expressed the same sentiments.
The filibustering died hard, but
when Senator Harris’ motion for
the senate to meet, beginning today,
at 10 o’clock was made no negative
votes were cast.
This does not, of course, mean
that republican opposition to the
bill has been withdrawn, but that
it has been forced by the united
front of the democrats down to a
legitimate basis and that extended
debate is no longer expended upon
minor items in the oil. The dem¬
ocrats have no desire to stifle de¬
bate on the r e-lly important sec¬
tions of the bill and the proposed
amendments, and they expect that
a reasonable amount of time will
be corsumed when the sugar sched¬
ule, the income tax and other ieal-
ly important portions of the bill
are reached, hut they do not intend
that debi.t- merely for delay shall
play any further part in the con¬
sideration of the bill, and in that
determination they have every rea¬
son ti> believe that the' are sup-
potted bv . ine-tenths of the people
of the country, regardless ot poli¬
tics, who want this question settled
at the earliest, possible moment, in
the interest of a resumption ol bus¬
iness.
The fairness of Vice President
Stevenson in se’ecting the commit¬
tee which today began the investi¬
gation authoriz-d by the resoluti¬
on adopted without a dissenting
vote by the senate last week, was
in marked contrast with the action
of republican presiding officers of
the senate in selecting similar com¬
mittees in the past. Although he
would have been justifiable in put¬
ting three democrats and two re¬
publicans on the committee, he on¬
ly selected two democrats—Gray,
of Del., and Lindsay,of Ky., allow¬
ing tne populi.-t one member—Al¬
len. of Neb., and the republicans
two—Lodge, of Muss., and Davis,
of Minn.
The first work of the -committee
will be to try to get at all the tacts
connected with the outrageous at¬
tempt to bribe senators Kyle, of S
D, and Honten, of V-i., to vote
against the tariff bill. Stn»ational
disclosures are looked tor iu this
case, ut your correaponuent is not
over sanguine that they will pan
out; not beoause they do not exist,
but because when men start out to
accomplish anything by oribery
they seldom leave their traoits un¬
covered to a suillcient extent to
have the crime legally fastened up¬
on them.
The committee will also investi¬
gate the numerous charges connect¬
ing the senators who arranged the
amendments to the tariff bill with
the sugar trust in a scandalous
manner, and your correspondent
does not hesitate to predict that
the foundation of every one of these
charges will be found the same—
Partisan vindictiveness against tar¬
iff'retorm. Bat whatever the foun¬
dations may be the committee pio-
poses to get down to them if such
a thing is possible. Several well
known republican newspaper men
ail! find it difficult t > produce au¬
thority for charges they have made
against senators, and it will not be
surprising if some of them eventu¬
ally figure in court as defendents
in criminal libel suits. The first
official work of the committee was
t0 Vf) ^ e unanimously in favor of
hear ing the testimony in secret.
was not because of any desire
to conceal or to cover up anything,
but because it was thought to be
the best way of getting to the bot¬
tom of things. Every word of tea
• imony taken will be printed and
made public at the close ot the in-
vestigaticn, but in the meantime
Senator Gray will decide just how
much shall from day to day be
given to the newspapers.
The first big batch ef discharges
fron the Government Printing Of¬
fice were made Saturday. They
will be continued until the force is
reduced to its proper number;
meanwhile but few appointments
are being made.
Tne house has the business of
the session so well advanced that
it gave itself a holiday by adjourn¬
ing over Saturday, something it is
not in the habit of doing. It has
worked faithtuily on tne appropri¬
ation bills and it nas them all in
such shape that it will soon be able
to take up and dispose of some oth¬
er important business while wait¬
ing for the senate to send baok the
tariff bill with its amendments.
• A
Tho M;i8S Meeting.
Irwinville, Ga., May 21, 1S94.
Agreeable to the call of the dem¬
ocratic executive committee oi said
county to meet in mass meeting far

by the chairman of the committee
and upon a motion S. E. Coleman

Hon. M Henderson offered the
following resolutions:
Whereas, according to the system
of rotation which has so lot.g satis
factorilv prevailed in our Senatori¬
al District it devolves upon Irwin
County to furnish the senator in
the next general assembly, and in
order to secure the choice of the
County for that position and believ¬
ing that such a course will be en¬
tirely satisfactory and meet with
the hearty approval of our sis.er
Counties.
It D therefore resolved and de
dared to he the sense of this meet¬
ing and it is hereby ordered that
the chairman of this meeting an¬
nounce a primary election at the
several pret i nets of the county on
tit- 2 I. Wednesday in July next, in
which every le al voter of the coun¬
ty shall be entitled to vote to select
a candidate for senator for our Dist.
in the next legislature, and it shall
be the duty of said chairman to
convene with the consolidating
manager of said election at the
conrt house on the day after the
same, superintend the consolidation
of the returns thereof, and the can¬
didate receiving the highest num¬
ber of votes cast shown thereby,
shall by said chairman and mana
gerbeduly declared the choice of
the county for Senator, ane as such
by them presented to the voters of
the sister counties to be voted for
at the October election,' at the same
time requesting thmn, if deemed
necessary to formally ratify said
selection if approved, pledging our
selves to do likewise in any similar
action in presenting their choice in
future elections for Senate.
On motion of Mr. Gvo. Young
Hon. T. B Young and J. B. Clem¬
ents was elected delegates to the
convention and was instructed to
vote for Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, and
uninstructed for tne several state
house officers. Said delegates are
allowed to elect an alternate.
On motion of Rev. Albert Sutton
Mr. E R. Smith and J M. PafF >rd
weie elected delegates to the con-
gressii nal convention and instruct¬
ed to vote for Hon. 11. G. Turner.
Dr. W. L. Story offered the fol¬
lowing resolution :
*’\Ve the citizens of Irwin County
in mass meeting, resol ved first that
the democrats of Irwin County in
mass meeting assembled, do hear¬
tily endorse the present national
administration and pledgeourselves
to give it our unqualified support.
Resolved II
that we denounce and condemn the
so-called democratic newspapers
like the Atlanta Cons titution that
are antagonizing theadministration
of President Cleveland, and we re-
gard them as enemies, to the demo¬
cratic party.”
At the request of Judge Clements
took in consideration the ad visa-
bility of holding a primary election
for representative of said county
and the meeting voted a primary
election to be hold, and ordered
said primary to be held in the sev-
er-d districts ou the2d. Wednesday
in July.
Judge Clements offered the fol¬
lowing resolution:
•• Resolved that wo heartily en¬
dorse the course persued by Hon.
Henry G. Turner in tho halls if
oougress, and commend him to the
people ot the District for re-election
and in the event of his candidacy
for United States Senate we endorse
him lor that position.”
The following gentlemen w«ie
elected as executive committee:

THE STATE SENATORS HIP
liim. T. If. Young may enter iuio the
race-
Politics is warming up in L win.
All interest is centered in the sena-
K. TiFTRTrLiM: HHu.x and j. A J. U nd on.
J ne county executive committee
have ordered a primary to be held
the 2d. Wednesday in .July, to nom¬
inate a senator lor the 15 h. dist ,
anda representative for Irwin C'uun-
ty.
The friends ofihe two caniidates
for the senate are quite divided on
the question of a primary. The
friends of Mr. Henderson favoring
it. and Mr. Wilcox and his friends
are against it. The News s ates
upon the best of authority that Mr.
Wilcox will not enter his name in
the primary, nor be bound to any
extent hv the result.
The race promises to be one of
the most exciting in the history of
wire-grass politics.
Tt is again rumored that Hon.
T. B. Young may enter the race, in
this event Mr. Henderson would
very probably withdraw.
The News . is . unable to give . any
i (formation as to the out come ot
each o change in the race, but, at
all events the race is going to be an
interesting one.
Either of these gentlemen will
make a faithful representative end
need no introduction to the citizens
of Telfair and Montgomery’ Coun¬
ties.
Hon. Henry T. Fletcher stands
alone in the field for representative
and the belief is current that he
will go through witbautopposition.
Mr. Fletcher is an able and deserv¬
ing man for the honor, and The
News hopes to see no opposition
to him.
