“General Gordon carries his counties

Atlanta sent a “representative”—

“bills” whether he “influenced” any
votes or not.
the effects of electricity,
effected at first by the application of
steam could fiardly be believed by
witnesses, yet they are of such com

We well remember the dread with
which all contemplated the destructive
power and force ot dynamite when
first it was introduced, but now it U
in common use.
Illustrative of this a very amusing
incident occurred several years ago at
a railroad depot, not a thousand miles
from Albany. A small box, billed
“Dynamite,” was received at the
terminus of a line for a distant
point reached by a connecting road.
It was with difficulty that the truck
hands employed could be induced to
:ake it out of the car, and when un
loaded and offered to the agent of the
connecting line lie positively refused
to receive it, alleging great danger
from its explosive character, as the
cause of his refusal.
The little box terrorized the whole
force of employees, and was removed
to a considerable distance awaiting
the result ot telegrams. The next day
the refusing agent was called upon.by
his superior officers to explain his re
fusal to receive for transportation, which
ended the matter by the box being
forwarded to its destination. It is
matter of regret that “familiarity does
breed contempt,” as caution neces
sary to safety is frequently forgotten

promised the people to reform the tar
iff. It never promised free trade, nor
did the people ask it. Biit a modifica
tion of the high tariff rates, fixed in
war times, was expected. But the
high-tariff Democrats joined the Re
publicans and defeated the motion for
even considering a bill for the modifica
tion of the tariff. Thus the old hlgli
tariff is a fixture upon the people—and
the people not engaged in agriculture
have reason to shout for joy. The
President and Secretary Manning
much desired a reform of the tariff.
But it was uot to be so. Nor will the
North ever permit it to be so. As U is
the South is simply a vast f-irtn work

And Northern money will keep her so
as long os possible. The farmers of the
South have nothing to expect from the
representatives of the North and West.
Our section is eminently agricultural
theirs, Industrial. Circumstances have
given that section the advantage, and
it will not yield it without a stubborn
contest. Mr. Cleveland was true to
the platform pledging the administra

Family quarrels are tisually the

scarcely ever healed. This family

in sentiment, one iu purpose, one in
patriotism, one in the hearts of the
people—will never exist again in Geor

personalism supplanted patriotism,
party unity and party love received a
wound which will never heal as long
as personalism holds its sway.

of Mr. E. Y. Hill on Tuesday night.
He came on a special train from Craw

number of gentleman from this place.

Gen. Gordon says he never was so
“happy” in lib life as iu this campaigu.

direction of Suite management.
After thirty years’experiment the
State road was a financial failure under
gubernatorial control. It b true, Gov.
Brown made It pay the State. But
after the war Major Campbell Walhue,
chairman of the Railroad Commission,
was put in charge of the road March
26, 1866, and displaced Ang. 7,1868;
yet during that time the Btate paid on
the road $983,463 more than the net
earnings.
This b one of the most Important
questions of this campaign, and one
about which the people ought to think.
A lease can be so framed as to pre
vent the mistakes of the present one by
which other roads become purchasers
of shares and destroy the independency
of the road.

reduced tlib law should be repealed.
If tlie fund b not reduced and the road
not leased, money for tlie schools
will have to be raised by direct taxa
tion.
This future lease b a very important
and a very practical question. It is an
issue in tlib campaign. Do the people
prefer X future lease, or do they pref« r
to place the road under gubernatorial
management? The q.iestiou b not for-

astonishing that the Constitution
False Fledges.
At tlie opening of the .present Con
gress the Democratic aud Republican
parties both stood pledged to revise
the present iuiqUitoos tariff.
To-day a majority of tlie Republicans
of tlie nouse of Representatives and
thirty-five Democrats, as will be seen
by reference to aii analysis of the vote
on the Morrison bill published else
where iu this paper, stand before the
country convicted—and self-convicted
at that—of party infidelity and failure
to keep a self-imposed pledge.
Tlie Republican platform adopted in
the national convention in 1884 de
clared :
The Bepublican party pledges itself to cor
set irregularities of the tan If.

Chicago in July, 1884, coutained tliis

calling them “free-traders.” It is so
accustomed to misrepresenting Bacon
that such a term as “free-traders’
plied to our Congressional representa
tives is drawing it mildly.
But what is the difference in oar
party as “it is now constituted” and
as it existed some years ago? We do
not know whatb meant by the phrase,
Democratic party as it b uow con-
stituted.
In Georgia during thb campaign
there lias been such a rumpus and so
much help from “assistant Republi
cans” that a “fusion” may have taken
place so as to alter the nature and
complexion of the old-time party, but
even under tlutt condition of things
these Georgia congressmen have rep
resented their constituents. We are
proud that they did not compose
part of tlie recalcitrant thirty-live who
went over to tlie Republicans.
The Georgia congressmen, on the
Morrison motion, did correctly repre
sent their constituents, and if they are.
not returned it will not be due to their
tariff views, but to the great disorder
and confusion which has overthrown
tiie wliole conservatism of the State and
rendered almost anything possible.
With tlie great majority of the party
in favor of it—with the national plat
form demanding it—with the Presi
dent aud the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Speaker of the House and the
committee of Ways and Means in favor
of it, for tlie Atlanta Constitution to
threaten the Georgia delegation with
defeat for their vote on the Morrison
motiou is amazing cheek to say the
least of it!
pluyuieut and ol just reward.
The Den * ’
Democratic party iw pledged io revise
the tariff iu a spirit ol fairness to all interests.
And yet, iu tiie face of these pledges,
35 Democrats voted with tlie Repub
licans on last Thursday against the
consideration ol the bill for reforming
the tariff, reported by tlie Ways
and Means Committee through Mr,
Morrison, and we are informed by the
Washington dbpatches that “tlie au-
nouucemeut was received with deafen
ing cheers on the Republican side.”
Nothing better could have been ex
pected of the Republicans who have
upheld the hlgli protective tariff ever
rincc the war; but it is a matter of
some surprise that thirty-five Demo
crats were fouud ready to cross the
party line into the ranks of the enemy
and thereby fabify the pledge of their
own party to the country.
The bill which.the House refused to
consider was not “horizontal” iu its
methods, but looked only to the cor
rection of a few of the more flagrant
swindles that buttress that collossal
swindle, the protective tariff schedule.
This from the Savannah News is
tersely put: “The protection papers
that acknowlege any sort of fealty to
the tariff reform plank iu the National
Democratic platform all arise In arms,
as it were, iu opposition to any tariff
revbiou that does not begin with abo
lition of the internal revenue on spirits
and tobacco. They well know that to
abolish tlie internal revenue would
render any reduction of tlie tariff ini
practicable for many years to come.
What, the people wautti- not free
tobacco, but a gradual relief from a
system of taxation maintained for the
benefit of monopolists and extortioners.
The internal revenue, now that it is
honestly collected and disposed of, is
not felt to be a burden anywhere, and
nobody asks to have it abolished, ex
cept those who are interested in main-
taiuiug tlie present robber tariff.!’
The chief point, so far, made against
Bacon is his ambition to be Governor.
It must be remembered that Ben Hill
rau for Congress three times before lie
succeeded—and yet what a man was
Hill! Who ever ran for office oftener
than Alex. Stephens ? Then how often
has Gov. Brown run? In his younger
lays he tan forjudge—ran three times
for Governor, held office as Chief Jus
tice, and is now Senator. The re
nowned old Win. II. Crawford rau for
office many times. Tula is Bacon’s
third race.

The Savannah News alluding to
Georgia’s possibilities of progress and
advancement, iu a leading editorial
says:
"Immigrants and capital are needed to se
cure this advancement—capital to build rail
roads, opeu mines and erect lactones, and
immigrants to open tanas and supply the de
mand fur workmen which new enterprises
would create.”
It is hardly w orth the while of an
editor to write, about Georgia’s mate
rial progress while we have such a big
fuss in the family over who shall be
Governor.
Nothing associated with tbe Presi
dent’s marriage was more fitting than

The President acknowledged in a nice
letter “the though ful and delicate at
tention to my wife,” aud feels grati
fied that his efforts to assure good gov
ernment aud complete “reconciliation”
are so pleasantly recognized by his
fellow-countrymen.
The Atlanta Journal announces tbe
name ol Col. Geo. N. Lester as candi
date for Attorney-General. Col. Hul-'
sey withdraws in lavor of Judge Les
ter. Judge Lester is an able lawyer
and a most agreeable gentleman. He
has been a hero in the strife ever since
the war. As the Journal says: “ J udge
Lester bears on his person the evidence
of faithful service in the field.” While
it is true Judge Lester left an arm to
vitalize and enrich the soil of old Vir
ginia, yet that fact will not be of ad
vantage to him. The “craze” in Geor
gia to Iioiioi war heroes is confined to
her Generals, who look so well in a
photograph. The political pension
business has not broadened enough in
Georgia yet to include In its roll as
homely a soldier as Geo; N. Lester,
even if lie is oue-arined and has fought
as hard since tlie war to preserve our
liberties, as lie fought during the war
to secure them. The Confederate of
humbler station is not ou a boom.
While the campaign in Georgia is
noted for bitterness and passion, yet
occasionally something occurs which
provokes a smile. Iu his Valdosta
speech Gen. Gordon told his audience
he was a plain DeKalb farmer, and
living on his farm out in DeKalb,
Well, when did lie turn farmer? When
did lie prepare his ground or pitch his
crop? He was living In New York
until lie concluded to run for Gover
nor, aud about the 26th of April came
to Georgia—and spending only one
night iu Georgia, left for Montgomery,
Since then it must be that the General
became a farmer. He does not pro
pose to five that sort of a life long,
however, as in the same speech he said
he would move to town In November.
Of course, he ought to do that if elect
ed, .as his DeKalb farm is nearly two
miles from tlie Kimball House—and
then who wants to play farmer if he
can be Governor?
candidates upon the fact that his ow
eounty, Brooks, has already elected
delegates aud instructed them to pre
sent his name to the convention.
There are 17 counties in the district.
Thomas and DecatHr counties will
have four votes each, and ail the other
counties will have two votes each in
the convention, making tbe total uum-
ber of votes 38.
With four candidates in the field,
each having a respectable following,
neither can expect to carry into the
convention anything like a majority
vote, and the result is, therefore,
mixed with much uncertainty.
At
present the outloook is about as fol
lows:
Turner will go in with Brooks,
Mitchell and Decatur, and probably
Lowndes and Berrien.
Mitchell will have Thom as and Col
quitt, and seems to stand an equal
showing with Turner in Lowndes and
Berrien.
Jones will have Dougherty, Worth
and Baker.
Guerry’s friends claim Terrell, Ran
dolph, Clay, Calhoun, .Quitman, Mil
ler and Early, but apprehend a close
contest with Turner’s friends in the
counties of Calhonn, Randolph and
Early.
As none of the counties except
Mitchell, Brooks and Thomas have yet
elected their delegates, the apportion
ment between tlie candidates as laid
down above will not be accepted as
final; but when the roll of counties is
called at the convention it will be
found that we have not missed It far,
and that the doubtful counties have
been correctly placed—Lowndes and
Berrien between Turner and Mitchell
aud Calhoun, Randolph and Early be
tween Turner and Guerry.
There are rumors of dark horses and
of a combination to defeat Mr. Turner
with tiie same tactics that defeated
Smith at Dawson in 1880, but it is too
early yet to speculate upon these mat-
g|xvu gtduertisgmeals.

The New York World has revived
interest in the $50,000 contributed to
tbe Republican campaign fund which
John J. O’Brien- and Steve B. Elkins
obtained from Jay Gould a short while
prior to the Presidential election.
They represented to Gould that a deal
could be made with that extra amount
or niouey to carry the State of New
York for Blaine. Efforts were made
by the Republican Committee to get at
the disburse meat of the money, but
they failed. From the number of
O’Brieus and similar Atlanta agents
sent out iu tliis campaign a big
“boodle” story remains to be revealed
here iu Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph's Atlanta cor
respondent lias this to say about tbe
advent of prohibition: “Some of the
saloons of the city are preparing for
the incoming of prohibition. This
morning two of them were moving out
and hauling the contents tff on drays.
In trout of them was a large pile of
old plunder consisting of jugs, bottles,
lumber aud tin cans. It is stated that
a good deal of whisky, brandy, wines,
etc., is being .-old by the demijohn to
citizens who are preparing for tiie
long siege <»i dry times, and many of
tlie strongest prohibitionists and jug-
wuuips are laying iu a good supply.
The South has had a world of politi
cal trouhie since the war. Her condi
tion has been peculiar. The recon
struction period was a terrible ordeal.
It created much political strife. The
South ha.- had to contend against
Northern bate and fanaticism, and
against even the Federal government.
Prosj»eriry began to dawn when she
regained fiossession of her own State*
governments. The least disturbances
passible, whether political or labor
troubles, are best for us. But the
present campaign in Georgia would en
courage tlie idea that political strife
was advantageous.
The Savannah News censures Major
Bacon for allowing Dr. Felton to speak
in this canvass, basing its objection on
the ground that Dr. Felton Iuts not al

party. But the News raises not a word
of ceusure against Dr. Miller, Col. Al
bert Cox, Col. Hulsey, aud Reuben
Arnold. Yet Col. Arnold, tlie man
wlio fought Haiuiumid in his last race
for Congress, was tlie man selected to
reply to D^Felton at Moutezuma, and

CAPT. W. P. MANLY.
Captain W. P. Manly, whose pic-
tare heads this article, Is a well known
member of of Atlanta's excellent po
lice force. Atlauta is noted for the
dicipline and efficiency of its corps of
police and the standard of its rank
and file Is very high. Captain Manly
Is a felr specimen of the intelligence
and physical perfection. which is re
quired of its officials. Some years ago
the Caphuu uufortunately acquired a
blood poison, which for years gave
him more or less trouble, and threat
ened to undermine and totally destroy
his entire physical, system, lie is a
magnificent specimen of manhood with
a constitution like iron, but this insid
ious disease gave him
UNMISTAKABLE WARNING
that It was sapping and mining at the
foundations of his constitution. The
Captain said in conversation lately:
“Yes, sir, about two years ago 1 was
afflicted with a bad case of blood
poisou, and after trying various blood
remedies hi large quantities without
doing me the slightest good, I was in
duced to try Huuuicutl’s Rheumatic
Cure, and after using three bottles
was completely cured.
‘I am now in perfect health and
atxripute my preseut condition to.thi-
wonderfnl medicine. I cheerfully re
commend it to all wlio are sufferin;
with any blood disorder.
Hie cheapness of this wonderful
remedy, (its price being only $1 a bot
tle,) should place it iu reach of all aud
no better cleanser and blood cure was
ever made. I know, for I tried em
all.”
