Hon. O. B. Stevens has pledged his
support to Ben Russell. There Is har
mony in the Heoond.—Savannah Press.
Yes, there Is Deinooratlo harmony
in the Second. No earthly power can
defeat tho Democrats here in the No
vember elections.
any recapitulation In these columns Is
entirely mi necessary.
The Democratic standard-bearer has
been selected, and the thing for us to
do now is to look to the campaign that
Is ahead of us, leaving nil dilt'erences
that cxistgd between the Democrats
before the convention assembled, and
even up to the hour of its adjourn
ment, to be forgotten.
The people of tho district and of the
entire State are to be congratulated
upon the fact that the spilt which has
been seriously threatening the Demo
cratic party of this district has been
averted,. When the crisis came per
sonal preferences and prejudices were
magnanimously laid upon the nltar of
the party of our fathers, and the De
mocracy of the Second district stood
united—those who were defeated nnd
disappointed gracefully yleldlngto the
mnjorlty and pledging themselves to
give the party nominee their support.
Differences that were broad were
gracefully yielded, and snorlflces of no
smnll dgree were mnde when the tlnal
test of party loyalty confronted the
representatives of the Democrats of
the district in convention assembled,
nnd the conduct of those, who yielded
and mnde these sacrifices under the
state of alraumstnnoes then surround
ing them was nothing short of hero
ism, and must command thejndmirntion
of all true men.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, the defeated can
didate, wiped out all differences that
stood between the two warring fac.
tlons of the Democratic party of the
dlstrlot and becnine himself n hero
when he appeared before the oonven
tlon and announced that he accepted
his defeat in good fnith nnd would give
the nominee of the party his support.
Under ordinary circumstances nothing
less than this should hnve been expect
ed of the defeated candidate in a party
nomination, but the circumstances that
surrounded Mr. Stevens In the hour of
his defeat were extraordinary and of a
very trying nature.
Such a man and Democrat ns Mr.
Stevens has shown himself to be de.
serves to be honored In defeat.
. Tax present summer lias been one

K-suppress them.

, pleted, but of course Maj. Black will

Weaver, the Third Party candidate
■ for President, said In a publlo speeoh
a few years ago that the Southern peo
ple were guilty of treason, theft and
murder, and that Instead of standing
ap boldly and asking for their national
sights: under this government, they
uv should oome upon bended knees bog
ging forgiveness. And yet the Third
("arty, with suoh a villain at its head,
is claiming a largo following In the
South. We verily believe that the
. November elections will find the ma-
a Jorlty of ’Southern Third Partyites
returned to the Democratic fold.
Da. Macune, of the People's Party,
: t says tbat a President and Vice Presl-
"’"dent cannot be elected from the same
'£ State according to the constitution.
' The constitution does not say this. It
,' simply prohibits an elector from vot-
ingfor a President and Vice Presi
dent, both from the same State which
> elector represents. Dr. Macune is
) of the most conspicuous leaders of
£ o party which proposes to amend the
qstitutipn right and left, and ohange
r whole order of government, and
t he demonstrates the fact that he
i not know what is in the consti-
tion as i t bow stands.
In another column will ,be found nn
interview with Mr. Stevens In regard
to the result of the campaign.
Mr. Stevens’ cheerful acceptance of
his defeat at the hands of the conven
tion, and Ills pledge of support to the
nominee of the party, commend- him
to the people of the Second district as
a true and loyal Democrat, what
ever may have been said to the con
trary during the campaign.
There is, perhaps, no man who ever
hnd a more severe test made of Ill's
loyalty to party than Mr. Stevens did
on tins occasion. The Herald knows
for a certainty that strong pressure
was brought to benr upon him by Ills
Alliance friends to withdraw from the
convention, and mnke the race inde
pendently, bu$, loyal Democrat that lie
wns, he refused to do It.
The IIrrald has differed with Mr.
Stevens on many points during the
campaign, and we differ with him now
In regard to some of his criticisms on
the workings of the convention; but,
unlike some of our contemporaries
who opposed him, the IIrrald bus
never indulged in any unparliamen
tary language or abuse of Mr. Rus
sell's opponent; consequently It does
not go ngninst the grain for us to
speak kindly of him now, and to com
mend his noble benringin defeat.
Had Mr. Stevens been the nominee
of tho Congressional convention, none
would hnve been more strong In bis
support than tile IIkiiald, and we be
lieve that the time will yet come when
the Democrats will show their sub
stantial appreciation of Mr. Stevens’
pnrty loyalty.
IVe heartily thank Mr. Stevbns for
his acknowledgment of our fair treat
ment, nnd promise him that lie shall
never receive aught else at the hands
uf the IIrrald.
CONVENTION AFTERMATH.
The scenes of Wednesday and Thurs
day will.long linger in the memories
of the people of Albany.
Perhaps the olty has never, passed
through a more exciting time, pollti-
| rally speaking. Everybody will re
member it, nobody will forget it, and
years hence this campaign in the Sec
ond will be tnken as a precedent by
which others will be governed.
The town wns in the hands of the
visitors, and they Imdeverything their
own way. Everybody was happy, ami
the unmistaknble signs of merriment
were betrayed on many a countenance.
AM ONE PARTY.
Third Partylsm and Republicanism
mean one and the same thing In Geor
gla, so far as the attempted disruption
and defeat of the Democratic party is
'concerned. The Third Party was con
oelvetTIn the Republican party, and
was designed for the especial purpose
of dividing the white people of the
solid South.
That a conspiracy Is now on between
the Third Partyites and Republicans
in Georgia there appears to be no
doubt.
Capt. M. J. Doyle, a prominent Irish
oltizen of Savannah, Is a Republican
and a member of the Republican Oen
tral Committee of the State. (And,
by tho way, he is the only Irish Re
publican that the IIrrald knows or
has heard of in Georgia.) lie attended
a meeting of tlie oonimittee in Atlanta
tiie oilier day, and, after returning
home, be is reported by tiie Savannah
News to have said: “We deoided not
to put up a State tiuket,” said Capt.
Doyle, “but, after dismissing the qnes'
tion in convention, we oame to an na
derstatiding to throw tho support and
influenoe of tiie Republican party of
Georgia to Peek and the Third Party
and the State tioket. This is the only
way we could see a chance to break up
the Democratic organization, and we
adopted it. In a few weeks Republh
oan orators will begin a stumping tour
of the State to bring out the full vote
of the party."
Hon. Clark Howbli. has goue to
New York to meet Chairman Harrlty
and the National Democratic Commit
tee. Democrats are at work this year
in State and nation.
It is said that Col. Melsj. Branch, of
the Tbird Party, is now wearing a
Cleveland and Stevenson button, there
by proclaiming himself a supporter of
the Democratic nominees.
There were no hard feelings mani
fested on the pnrt of the supporters of
either side, nnd no dintcuity of any
moment occurred nt all.
“Hurrah for Rnssell,’"snitl one.
“Hurrah for SteVens,” cried another.
“That’s all right, pan),” snld the
drat, “let’s go nnd take a drink.” Anil
off they would go, arm hi arm.
POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.
A grand Democratic rally was held
by the Negroes in Thomson Saturday.
They denounced Watson and endorsed
the Third Party. Watson’s garden
seed don’t seem tb have accomplished
much good for him nt home.
Tom Cabililss wns accorded a royal
ovation yesterday on his return home
tp Forsyth from Indian Springs, the
scene of .Itis triumph. Several Demo
cratic speeches were made by promin
ent lenders in his district, and every
one was loud in his praise of tiie
next Congressman from the Sixth.
More than anything else wns notice-
nble the lack of bitterness between nny
members of the two factions. All wns
hnrinoniotis, all wns peaceful, every
body wns happy. 1 met one man
named Dollar, who snld he hail been a
Russell man all his life, and would
have voted for him for Queen of Eng
land If it wns necessary; lie said
those Stevens men were goml fellows,
though, and ns a parting sally said :
“Tills is n sound Dollar. I reckon
there’s more change in it than nny
other Dollar in circulation,” nnd he
walked off shouting, “Hurrah for Rus
sell.”
(VHAT THEY DIDN’T DO.
From the Atlanta •loiimnl.
Tho Third Pnrty fellows at the
Gainesville Allinnce convention did
une thing, they elected Ellington Pres
ident, but there arc numerous things
they didn’t do.
They didn’t Indorse the Omaha con
vention.
They didn’t adopt the Omaha plat
form.
They didn’t indorse Weaver nnd
Field.
They didn’t Indorse the course of
the Southern Alliance Farmer, which
lias been such a rabid Democratic
hater and Third Party boomer.
They didn’t hear from the committee
on the good of the order, for the mem
bers had prepared a report so Demo-
oratio that it was not read in the con
vention.
Tltey didn’t hear a report from the
delegates who went to St. Louis, al
though a resolution to that effect was
introduced, for the delegates prepared
such a non-partisan report tlmt the
convention discharged them without
having tiie report read.
All these things they didn’t do be
cause the little handful of Democrats
outgeneraled them.
is
The dentil of Col. Polk, the leader of
tiie Third Party in North Carolina, no
longer leaves that State ill the doubt
ful column. Tin- want of a lender will
dissipate the strength of the party, to
a great extent, and where It might
have cast a large Republican vote, It
will now stand divided. North Cnro-
linn will remain Democratic.

“Bright Ben Russell Is made of ‘stern

slackwads of the Second dlstrlot.’’
From tho Atlnntn Constitution.
Hen Russell used to have a cousin
who, with the exception of old Sweej|y,
wa 3 the best banjo picker the country
has ever seen. Ben himself can play
the fiddle and call out a cotillion. He

vises then) to hold their September
cottoi^for 10 cents. He says if they

tlmt iiis vain hope will be realized.
From tho Augusta Evening News.

Affairs lu tlio mining regions of
Tennessee are iti a deplorable condi

firmness on the part of Gov. Buchanan
when the first trouble ocourred be

the State’s convicts last spring.
Thk differences in the Democratic
party of the Second Congressional dis
trict were all settled in the Democratic
convention wblob met In this olty on

Demoorat to give his hearty support
to the party nominee.
The small politicians who try to
ride into oflioe by arraying oountry
against town, or the country people
against tbe town people, will always
oome to grief. The interests of the
country people and the town people of
Georgia are identical when it comes to
politics, and harmony between the two
is essential to the auooess of either.
President Ellington promises to
keep the Alliance non-partisan,' but
the Alliance is so far out on the polit
ical sea that he will have to sail a long
time before lie strikes a non-partisan
shore.
The
election of C. H. Ellington,
a strong Third Party man, to the Pres
idency of the State Alliance, in view
of the fact that tiie Alliance lias been
taking an active part in politics,
oannot be without its political signifi
cance. There are many who do not
hesitate to say that Ellington's elec
tion means the death of the Alliance in
Georgia.
Thr organa of Protection affect to
make light of tbe “paltry tariff meas
ures" passed by the House, including
the Free Wool bill. But when Secre
tary Manning made, in bis Treasury
report of December, 1885, his able and
elaborate argument in favor of free
wool the Protectionists bitterly de
nounced the proposition to make wool
free as an attack upon the very centre
of the tariff system. Should wool be
put on tbe free list, they cried, tbe
whole fabric of Protection would soon
crumble to theground. Their clamors
of a few years ago prove bow insincere
are their present attempts to belittle
the tariff policy of tiie Democratic
House.
Genial Jake Menko wns on the
scene, tun, through tho thickest of the
fray, putting In a word wherever he
eonlfl for Brave Ben Russell. Jake did
some mighty goml work during the
campnlgn, nnd his services were nl-
wnys nt the cominnnd of Democracy.
His efforts were entirely disinterested,
and they did n world of good.
“Col. Hammond's speech nominating
Mr. Russell was one uf tiie most beau
tiful pieces of oratory I have ever
heard.” said a prominent citizen the
other day.
“In a few brief, but well-chosen
words, be summed up nn entire life.
From boyhood to manhood lie painted
a perfect picture, a picture of faithful
ness. A Macaulay, with all his beauty
of style and elegance of dirt Ion, could
not hnve surpassed it, though lie'made
it fill a volume, nnd yet Col. Ham
mond, in a few brief moments, told
the whole story—faithfulness.’’
Very little has been said about Billy
Wooten’s speeoh on Wednesday night,
when an eager crowd sent out to have
our next State Senator brought in.
Capt. Wooten made an eloquent appeal
for Democracy, pnrty hnrmouy nnd
unity. Billy tins none some bright
work for Democracy of late, for which
be deserves grent commendation.
“See that bit of moss?’’ said nil' Al
bnny citizen yesterday. “Well, that
came up with the mossbacks from De
catur county, and I am going to trees
ure it as a relic of the occasion on
which we nominated Russell."
There was a lot of Democratic senti
ment treasured up in that bit of gray
moss, and the owner carefully put it
away in tbe envelope, and restored it
to Ins pocket.

“Everybody had a rushing trade
during the convention. The ho
tels were crowded, the restaurants
and bars did a good business, and
everybody hopes it will happen again.
One barkeeper took in over (850 on
Tuesday ami Wednesday.
With the police everything was
quiet. The town wns In tbe hands of
the boys, and they didn’t abuse their
privileges, so the police bad no arrests
to make. Where so muoh enthusiasm
prevailed It was remarkable that there
were no outbreaks, nor were there any
evil results from exuberant spirits.
Old Unole Reuben Pyles, from
Thomas county, insisted on having his
front seat in the convention hall, and
one time tbe orowd gave him a seat on
the stage. Whenever Reuben wanted
to command the attention of a crowd
he would exclaim:
“Stand still, gentlemen, and hear the
salvation of the Lord,” and then
Reuben got a chance to say what he
pleased without fear of interruption.

And after it was all over everybody
went away satisfied with what they
did and saw. It will be a long time
before those present forget the scenes
and events of the occasion, only a few
of which are here mentioned.
Truly, Wednesday and Thursday
were gala days for Albany-, the like of
Gov. Xortlien opened Ills campaign
Saturday by making a speech at Con
yers. This is in tile bounty of Rock
dale, tiie home of Col. Peek, wlijcli will
give Gov. Xortlien over 800 majority.
Col. Peek is lu a bad way when bis
home folks are going buck on him like
they are. His strength is growing
smaller everyday. Ills vote at all events
will be nn extremely small one.
From tlio llnrlcn Unsuttc.
Tlmt gallant nnd true gentleman
nnd Democrat, the Hon. Ben E. Rus
sell, of Decatur, tins been nominated
for Congress to succeed the Hon.
Henry G. Turner. Tbe Democrats of
tiie Second have done nobly, and In
lien Russell they will hnve a Congress
man who will not only bo an honor
to Ills district, but the whole State.
God bless Ben Russell, and may
achieve a good majority for straigl?
out Democracy in the Seoond.
It is thought Dipt tiie war is about
over in Tennessee. One or two skir
mishes have taken place since Satur
day ami tiie dentil list Inis been in
creased by three or four names, hilt
everything is quiet now, ami It looks
ns If the miners were reudy for peace.
The volunteers have been discharged
nnd sent home, but. the State militia

Governor.
THINKING it over.
The South Carolina campaign lias
about ended, so far us the stump
spenklng is concerned, nnd although
there were several riots which enme
near resulting seriously, no blood wns
shed. Tillman lias had a hard time
but the Allinnce which has stuck to
him, has remained solidly Democratic,
and there is'no doubt novy of his re-
election on the 80th.
The People’s Economist, the weekly
paper of uncertain politics published
down nt Tliomasvllle, has evidently
not determined yet whether it will
support Ben Russell for Congress. It
is to he hoped, however, that the Econ
omist will come into line. As will be
seen by the Billowing announcement
in its issue of Saturday, it is thlnkin,
over the matter:
The Congressional Convention of
the Second district met In Albany
Wednesday of this week. Thursday a
nomination was made and Mon. Ben.
E. Russell, or Decatur, wns the nomi
nee. The vote stood Russell 21, Ste
vens 18.
The Economist has advocated the
candidacy ot Mr. Stevens, beoause it
considered him the man for the place.
It is impossible in this issue to give
the full proceedings of the conven
tion, but they will be given next week,
with some thoughts that are suggested
by the situation.

it is President Ellington now of the
Georgln State Alliance, nnd President
Livingston Is no more. C. H. Elling
ton was elected yesterday at the con
vention at Gainesville. The organi
zation is in a bad way financially, but
nothing like as bad as itenme near be
ing politically. A resolution was in
troduced, the Intent of which was to
shove the Alliance Into the Third
Party, but It was defeated by a small
vote. They finally adopted a conser
vative course, however, and determ
ined to keep the organization non-
political, and President Ellington has
pledged his efforts to maintain this
position.
V
Matters are coming to a crisis in the
coal regions of Tennessee. Several
bodies of troops have been captured
by the miners, but other strong and
well-armed forces have arrived on the
scene, and say that the miners will
have to submit or be dealt with harsh
ly. Two hundred and fifty of Ctiatta
nooga’s best citizens have been con
scripted into service, and have been
sent to the soene of the riot. All the
organized militia in the State have
been oi-dered to the scene of the
trouble, for, ns yet, the miners have
things all their own way. It seems to
have been a poor lot of soldiers who
surrendered themselves so easily into
the hands of the enemy. Very little
definite news can be obtained from the
mines, as all the wires have been cut.
Who will be the Third Party-Re'
publican candidate for Congress in
the Second?
Txnnessxk miners have more grit
than Pennsylvania strikers. They
capture the militia and send them back
