® s3l5fi | Capt. Richard Hobbs.is a pfonihfent
i.Htnr. j citizen hf Albaiiy, and is well known
; throughout Georgia. Capt. Richard
i Hobbs |j} Olnurimmsif tile Executive
Gouiiniitee of the Democratic, party
foil the beooftd Congressional district.
N't 11 her of these facts, however, is a
reason why there should jie a howl
against Hobbs, The howl proceeds
.fropi a very dlfferanvtruth against the
distinguished gentleman, and that
truth Is that he Is a Democrat, lie ns
a Democrat, at the head ot the Execu
tive Committee, wants to see Demn-
erntle principles prevail, and is a
sort of An'.ly Jackson, by the eternal
way of expressing his devotion to
those principles, aiul hence the howl.
Who are tho howlers? Why,certain
AUlnncemen, who had planned to cap
ture the Democracy of the glo/lous old
Second nnd subvert It to the base uses
of the Ocala platform and the Third
Pnrty; and, the avowed Third Party?
Hob who, but for this very Hobbs nnd
his committee, would, with impunity,
have voted in the Democratic primar-
les, perhaps unchallenged, nnd there
fore boast their St. Louis heresies.
Now, Hobbs, tbnt old Democratic
lion, who had been thickest In the light
ngninjt Radicalism for the past quar
ter of n century for the love of his
country (for he never sought olllce),
jusl as naturally ns anything in the
world threw Ills protest in tho way of
the despollera of the Democratic parly,
lie did not even roar! Only a smoth
ered growl of his contempt and In
dignation wiih permitted to break the
stillness of Iho political atmosphere of
the Second, Hut H was.unite enough,
It die] the work. The old Democratic
ship which was top-henvy with if range
doctrines, nnd side-heavy with strange
gods, began to right herself.
lint oh! what a howl there came,
my countrymen! The weak-kneed
Democrats, those who controlled
printing presses In particular, began
to trend water, to straddle and to be
moan. Tlie Democratic Yardstick—
Die stick by wlilcb Iheir daddies Imd
been measured for a century, was now
like a red-hot poker to them. But, “in
the reproof of fortune lies the true
proof of men” anyway, nnd we are not
surprised. Then enme certain Alli
ance nianlpiihitors. In holy horror
they lifted up their pious hands, and
while for three years past engaged in
the ncfnriuiis occupation of dissatis
fying the agricultural classes with the
Democratic party, unit doing nil in
their power lo subvert Its principles,
and boasting that they Imd 80,-
000 white voters who fnvored
tho Ooafn In preference to the
Democratic idea, and who declared
wholesale boycott upon any news
paper o? mcrohnnt who dared
to differ with them, these anything
but Democrats, for the past three years
at least, arc lustiest in the howl against
Hobbs. Their Democratic (?) hearts
are made sail. Their Democratic (?)
souls linvo gone a sorrowing. Their
Domooratlo (?) gizzards are made to
“purge thick amber.” Their Demo
cratic (?) slirlno has been ruthlesscly
torn down, and they go from place to
place weeping nnd will not be comfor
ted, because this Hobbs Ims wrung
their Democratic (?) hearts, by just
simply delliilog what Democratic doc
trine is. Puss the carbolic nclil please.
And then what do tlicsu disgruntled
people, who for the past three years
have threatened the Democratic party
with dire destruction If It did not ac
cept certain “demnmls," proceed to do
to break the force of tho little healthy
discipline administered by tills one-
armed Confederate soldier, this grand
old Irishman and Democrat, Capt.
Richard Hobbs?. Why it is saifl that
sataii trembles when be sees the weak
est Balnt upon his Knees.” And there
was a great trembling anil rattling of
the dry bonus among the “faithful” of
the Alliance leaders and Third Party.
“We must stlok together for this time,”
the would wont -out. “We must stay
in the ranks for this time for we have
got opr Stevens to look after.” “Alll-
ancemen,Third Party men, everything
antagonistic to the Democratic party
must stick together for this time, or
until Btevens Is nominated. Hobbs
has forced us to tlils.uonolusion.”
And they began to howl against
Hobbs. They began to fulminate
against Hobbs. They began to reso
lute against llobbs. Hobbs is tlielr
nightmare, llobbs D the Banquo who
ups in all their strange political orgies
and will not down 1" Hobbs is “the
skeleton In the olonet” of this faction
which would subvert the doctrine of
Democracy to that of Simpsonian sock-
lessism. But Hobbs can stand the
storm. He is an old-fashioned, dyed-
in-the-wood Democrat. He is a citi
zen worthy of any town, county, State
or country. He stands drm and un
moved, while the faotions roar and
fume around him, utterly oblivious of
the turmoil.
Would the Democratic party bad a
Hobbs within every square mile of
Georgia's soil! Hobbs la an intensely
loyal Democrat, In the loyalty of the
rank and file of the Democracy we
hope to find success at last. Nothing
elBe will count, especially in these
“corrupted times.”

affaire, in these districts- which does
not exist, so far as the Second district
Is concerhort. '
In line of the editorial /lectures to
which we refer the Constitution says:
“We regret to hoc a diwiHi-itlon man!rested In
the Second and Kleventh Coitsvessioiml dist.dcl*
to refuse to nhnw llomoeiatio AlUancetnco,

The proceedings of*the Executive
Committee of the Second district hava
been published throughout the dis
trict, and the Constitution ought to
have read them if It did not. The
committee sat with open dooifs in this
city on the 21st of April, and official
publication of its nctlon was promptly
made. We cannot speak so positively
for the committee of the Eleventh dis
trict, for we have seen no report of its
proceedings; hut there was certainly
nothing done by (lie Executive Com
mittee of the Mccoml district to call
forth the lectures that have been vol
unteered by the Constitution and
Chairman Atkinson, or to give the
Constitution Anything upon which to
base Its regrets Hint “Alliancemen who
are favorable to the demands of the
Ocnln platform” linve not or will not
be allowed to participate in the Dem
ocratic primaries.
The only action taken by our Execu
tive Committee bearing upon the qual
ification of voters In the Democratic
primaries was embodied In the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, gltnt the test for a voter at the
Ilemoerntle primaries In this district he that
tho votur, when challenged, shall swear that he
accepts in good faith the plutform ot princi
ples adopted by the National Dcmuorntla Con
vention at Chicago, and that the national Dem
ocratic platform adopted at Chicago he the true
tost of Democracy. *
Now, Mr. Constitution, and Mr. At
kinson, too, what’s the matter with
this? There Is not the Slightest refer
ence to the Ocala platform nor to
“Democrats favorable to the demands
of the Ocnln platform" In It, Otte
member of the committee insisted
upon a clause In tho resolutions
adopted which made some roferenoe to
the “demands of tho Ooaln platform,”
but the committee very promptly voted
It down and plnntcd Itself upon the
platform of the Democratic party.
In Chairman Atkinson’s interview
he prcsuincs’ta lecture our Executive
Committee, and then when he himself
undertakes to dcllne the Democratic
test he uses the same ideas and almost
the'Identical'language employed by,
the committee lie assumes to reprove.
Cliairmnn Atkinson ami the Constitu
tion, too, will be safe in patterning
after our Executive Committee when
it comes to defining Democratic creeds
and principles, bot when tliey do this
they should not turn lecturers.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the Second district is composed
of Democrats tried and true, and the
Constitution's solicitude with refer
ence to its action is gratuitous and en
tirely unnecessary.

Mr. Walters 'doesn’t say any such
thing. The News reported him ns
having made some such assertion ns
this at Isabella duringcourt week, and
Mr. Walters promptly published a card
in the Herald in which lie denied
having used the language attributed
to him. Why does the News persist in
charging Mr. Walters with this rash
assertion after lie has denouhoed It as
false? It would doubtless be very
pleasing to Editor Winter to see
Dougherty county go Republican by
1,000 majority; but be need lay no sucb
flattering unction to his soul. Capt.
llobbs and the Democratic Club of
Dougherty County, whose politics are
not shaped or designed to suit the
ideas of snob exotics in this Demo
cratic clime as Editor Winter appears
to be, will take care of Dougherty
county,
The Cbioago Inter Ooean thus ex
presses true Cbrlstian philosophy:
stand back a little and give Feed Ward an
other ohancc. A man should not bo killed for a
single mistake. .
Yea; give him another obance—a
man is not necessarily bad all through
beoause he has made one mistake.
Ward has had trials enough within the
last few years to soften the heart of
the wont of criminals. He has lost
hla wife, his father and his mother, and
if the man desires an opportunity to
mend his ways, lend him a helping
hand.

-“Bi 1 ‘ Vtal As
ilius constituted; we can join’ the 'cm-
Ihmlants for ndltliei* Mr. Cleveland nor
Mr. Hill;” foe we are fully persuaded
thnt fHc'Deriiocratic pnrty will "make a
grcnt mlstake by nominating either of
them.'""'
Mr. Cleveland'is the best man, but
Mr. Hill is the best Democrat, when
the two men are weighed amt meas
ured by the pnrty standard. The one
Is a gold-bug with Mugwumplan ten
dencies; the other a cold-blooded ma
chine politician. If forced to chose be
tween the two we would take Mr. Hill
for tlie present emergency, on the Idea
of baying a man who would “light the
devil with fire” and wage relentless
war upon the Republican party; but
we believe that the Democratic pnrty
can do better than take either of them
for its Presidential candidate.
It is extremely doubtful whether
either Mr. Cleveland or Mr. HllI could
carry New York In the election. The
State Is never reliably Democratic In a
Presidential election, yet it is essential
to Democratic success in tho aggregate
of States. Thnt the State is badly di
vided between the two men there can
be no doubt, and the breach has
widened until the followers of each
openly dcclnre that the other ennnot
carry It for Democracy if nominated.
We fail to see why the Democratic
pnrty should, of necessity, be confined
to these two men in selecting a Presi
dential candidate, and unless thelend-
ers of the party entt find another
available mgn and unite upon him, the
Democratic outlook cannot be regard
ed, from a standpoint of reason nnd
common sense, as a very hopeful one
in this year of our Lord 1802.
Cot,. VVooTKN's friends Imvo been his worst
enem'es In the Congressional campaign. Ity
tlicir intemperate seal and ill-advised partisan
ship they havo effectually destroyed any
chances tho gentleman might havo had for the
nomination. In tho old-fnsiiioned spelling
iMMik there is n hit of philosophy to the effect
that experience keeps a costly school, hut thnt
individuals or certain turns or mind will learn
in no other.—Thomusvlllc News.
It may be true thnt some of Col.
Wooten’s friends have been indiscreet
and have done him more ftnrm than
good; but in politics, ns in everything
elpe, a man ought to be judged by his
own actions and utterances. Col.
Wooten has dodged none of the issues
ofsthe day in his campaign so fnr v He
stands flat-footed oh the Dcmoeratlo
platform, and evades nothing in his
addresses to the people. He hns made
more speeohes than any other gentle
man in the district since the present
oatqpalgn opened; and yet none of
those who oppose him have been able
to make nny capital out of any of his
utterances. lie Is not n man given to
silly speech or petty flings, but stands
as an able nnd consistent exponent
and ndvocato of the principles of pure
Democracy. Judge tlie man by his
own utterances nnd not by those of
some of his indiscreet friends. Thus
judged and measured, Col. Wooten
will compare favorably with any gen
tleman in the district, and in an issue
where native ability, lenrning and "po
litical sngaclty, based, upon principle;
are worth anything, be has nothing to
fear.
Editor W. W. Turner, of the News
nnd Advertiser, filled an appointment
for Col. Wooten at Blakely on Satur
day, and divided time with Messrs.
Griggs and Wilson, who appeared as
the champions of Candidate Stevens.
It is useless to say that Mr. Turner
took a bold stand for straiglitout
Democracy and bit straight from the
shoulder. He was given a cordial re
ception nnd respectful hearing by the
people of Early county, and thu friends
of Col. Wooten were more than satis
fied with the results of the joint de
bate between Mr. Turner, on one side,
and Messrs. Griggs and Wilson on tlie
other. The indications are that Early
will send a Wooten delegation to the
Congressional convention.
W. T, CaatsTOFUEH has sold out the
Montezuma Becord and gone to Texas.
Well, moving to Texas is better than
trying to run a Third Party paper in
Georgia.
The Atlanta Constitution boasts that
it throws away more telegraphic mat
ter thntiiis printed by any other Geor
gia daily. This will be questioned or
denied by some of its contemporaries,
but It is not the purpose of the Herald
to volunteer an opinion on the Con
stitution's extravagance.’ We do want
to say, however, that it doesn’t throw
away enough to get rid of all tlie rot
that is sent to it over the wires. This
is not only true with referen ee to the
Constitution, but might be applied with
equal justice to all the leading metro
politan journals of the day. Nor do
we want to be understood as under
rating tbe Constitution’s excellence as
a newspaper. It is a great paper, and
prints the news when there isany, but
at the same time it and all other big
dailies issue a lot of telegraphic mat
ter daily that isn’t news. The time la
coming when a more rigid discrimi
nation between telegraphio mews that
is news and rot that ia only rot, even
though It be sent over the wires, will
have to be made in metropolitan jour-
naliarn. . J*gjg|
_ Ah, r assqclJtffori'TIns "been formed in
New York Which has for Its ’■ bbject a'
burial reform. This society has issued
a circular for the purpose of bringing
abpiita change in burial customs, and
It supports a project by which inter-
inent cro be liad t at a reasonable cost-
varying from $10 to $200.
This reform has tiie support of such
men as Bishop Rotter, Bishop Little
john, Dr. Morgan Dix, Rev. Charles
Hall, and others.
The advanced thinkers of the age
recognize the necessity of a cleaner
nnd more sensible way of disposing of
the dead than by burial in caskets de
signed to preserve the body. To those
who are acquainted with the horrible
state of ufl'airs that have from time to
time nrlsen In London from tlie time-
honored custoiA ofbnrylng in churches,•
the constantly more pressing net'll of
at once returning a dead human body
to its native element, is felt.
Death would be robbed of half tbe
horror It lias for many people were it
not for the grave. The. change from
this life to the next, to a well-balanced
mind and a God-fearing sou), lias little
of terror In It. But the concomitant
of death strikes a chill to the bravest
heart—“tbe narrow, house,” tile suffo
cating, deep burial anil the slow decay
—each have their separate dread. The
Idea of promoting a quick return to the
“earth which nourished thee’’ seems
the* only dean and Christian kind of
burial.
Cremation Is now in its infancy.
The horror with which the idea was
first entertained is dying out amt
the cleaniless of the custom is more
and more recoifilhendiiig itself to the
people.
A burial reform association ought lo
receive the hearty support of a com
munity, for a different disposition of
the human dead Is pile of the needed
reforms of the times.
Candidate Stevens Is out in a four-
onliimn article In the Tlimnasville
News in which he undertakes to pull
himself out of the hole in which the
address issued by the Democratic Club
of Dougherty County, tlie early .part
of tills week, plnced him. It Is but a
repetition of the statements made in,
his campaign circular Issued from
Clay county last week, a inters de
signed to appeal to the sympathies
nnd prejudices of the Alliancemen—to
array them against Capt. Iloblis, the
Chairman of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee, and prejudice them
against everything and everybody in
Albany, Mr. Stevens evidently called
in some help In the preparation of his
four columns pf artful dudging, but it
was nf a snrt hbt ituligcnous to tho
Demoorntio soil of Southwest Georgia
and altogether too fmntetjish lor the
politleal olime In which it Is expected
to do duty;
The following, from the Chicago In
ter Ooean, is. too good to be lost, even
if it does put the laugh on the Demo
crats :
A Demoorntio politician in Georgia
wns recently kicked in the mouth by a
horse. A horse shoe bung up over
such un entrance ought to certainly
bring good luck.
IT would by a very, very sad thing if the Al
bany Democratic clah tdmald refuse to abide
the Hemoonitle nomination la the Congtcii-
UmfdTucc.—TUomiittville KeWa.
Don’t you be worried about tho
Albany Democratic club. There is
not half so much danger of that or
ganization refusing to abide the Demo
cratic nomination as there is that the
gang which the new Thomasville or
gan is trying to serve will be captured
by the Third Party.
There Is a hidden moral in this lit
tle paragraph from the Boston Herald
which tenches a good lesson : “They
sny that the dnughter of the Astors
proposes to return to America and live
down the scandal which has given the
family name so unpleasant notoriety.
Living down a scandal is not so easy a
task as It might be. A slanderous
woman wns mice sentenced by n priest
to the duty of plucking a chicken as
shj walked through tlie streets, scat
tering the feathers. She having ac-
'compiislied this, he imposed a further
task of gathering up every feather
which liad been tossed about hither
and thither by the winds of heaven,
telling her that until this wns done the
evil she lind worked oould not be re
paired.” .
Camp Narlheu Bendy- for ihe Roys.
Camp_Nortlien, at Griffin, is nearly
If not quite ready for the boys. Some
ol\ the military boys who w,ere at
Clnckninaiiga last year say that Camp
Northen is by far the prettiest and
most convenient site for an encamp
ment. The Savannah Press says of it:
As it looks now, with the forests bud
ding into greenness, with tbe dog
woods and honeysuckles and wild
flowers blooming nil around, its lovely
miniature lake and its sparkling foun
tains of pure water, it is an 'deal spot
for tbe gallant volunteer soldiery to

pleasure and instruction.
Mr. Will McDowell is soon to
leave Albany, much to the regret of
hundreds of bis friends here. Next
Monday be will leave for Blakely.
Shortly after this, he will leave for
Dallas, Tex, and go thence to Mexico.
Mr. McDowell' has ' decided on this
move for a number of reasons, but

best wishes of a host of friends in Al

Dear Herald :—Thinking that Steve
Pfice nnd the loved ones at home
would he glad to learn our whereat
abouts and welfare, I thought that W
would drop yon a few lines. We
reached the Baiu.bridgr v.iinrf at 1:80
this afternoon.
The steamer did .a good business all
the way down; mW-our party found
ample time to take in nnd admire the
beautiful scenery, which, at this sea
son, is second to none on any stream
In the South.
Tlie genial Judge W. T. Jones met
our party here, and is now quartered
among us. -We all gave the Judge
warm welcome^for we were indeed
glad to add his name to otir list, and
our happiness would be complete if we
oould only have our good friend Steve
Price.
Mnj. Andy Floyed and Col. J, W,
Walters furnished fish for supper last
night. We are always glad to-soe Mnj.
Floyed shove his boat overboard (While
tbe steamer is discharging freight)
and start down the river.lor we.know
that trout cannot resist his “flies." .
Some pf the boys l'eel disappointed
owing to tlie news wc received at,tiling,
place to tbe effect tbnt it is almost a
death penalty to shoot a turkey or deer
around the Dead Lakes—can’t shoot
anything but alligators and squirrels.
Capt, O. G. Gurley paid our party a
pleasant visit this afternoon. He says
that the Tobacco erbp around Bain
bridge is a success up to date, and that
the county is in guotl condition. It is
silid that if the farmers get as good
prices for their tobacco (his year as
last they will get entirely out of debt. L
Capt. Gurley stated thnt one farmer 'k
paid out of debt last season froth his
tobacco receipts for tbe first time in
sixteen yenrs.
We took Capt. Markham aboard this
evening, nnd he will pilot ns down the
lower river. We will leave here at.
about 8 o’clock to-night, and will prob-
nbly reach the Lakes at daylight to-
morrow morning. The entire party
send their beBt love to the Herald.

A Chat About Fashions,
The summer dress is one designed
for comfort — ostensibly. In some
points it is a comfortable attire. Iti
others—well, the time never will come
when women will be willing to sacri
fice appearances for oomfort, and they v
linve become so thoroughly imbued
with the idea of the grace nhd ele
gance thnt that much-abused half yard ? •
of cloth called tbe demi-train adds to
their appearance, that a desperate
struggle will ensue before it Is rele- .
gated to the dim closet of “old fash- )d
ions."' •
Tennis gowns and dresses for coun
try and scnsiile'are riiade with long
skirts. There is one consolation, how
ever—grass is clean.
The blazer, the bell skirt, and the Sp"
blouse waist of silk are the distinctive
features of tlie summer traveling dress.
There are fashions in perfumery as
well as in other things. A lady of
elegance no longer uses liquid per
fume on her handkerchief or clothing.
Indeed, it is considered quite vulgar.
Odors as dainty as though doubly dis
tilled from all the sweet perfumes you
can recall from your birth, are the
odors that are disseminated on the air -
from the judicious use of sachets. If
you have a passion for dainty odors,
line all tlie drawers of your wardrobes
and dressers with pads perfumed with
delicate sachet powders. Use liquid
perfumes only in the bath or to cool
