Mr. Turner is pre-eminent ly qualified to meet this South-bater. He is familiar, not only with Weaver’s war record, but with the platforms and policies of all the parties, and hla pow er of eloquence to put the facta before the people in the right light, will .con vince hla hearers that Democracy la the trde party of the people. Speaking of the coalition between the Republicans and the Peoples Par ty In the South the Philadelphia Rec ord has the following: Aa Representative Tom Watson, of Georgia, puts It, Republican success would “mt( ‘ enaify the evila of monopo ly, protected trusts and wasteful ex penditures of the publlo money,” and thus pave the way for the People’s Party In INKS. The patriots of the People’s Party would do evil now to help the Republicans in order that they might get a whnek at the public oils themselves four years In The men who have lynched the colored people In the past; the men who have shot and robbed the colored people;' the men who precipitated the ‘Camilla Hot’ years ago and who marshaled the red ehlrters and night riders are now the followers and shouters of Peek and his crowd, whose last performance was the .attempted enactment of the slave- tenant bill, which aimed at the re-en-’ slavement of the colored, landless poor —putting every ‘cropper’ and renter In the chain-gang. “When I am compelled to choose thus I want to select and vote for those Democrats who represent the best and noblest elements of their party, Its highest aspirations and loftiest pur poses. If you wanted a subscription to build a church or sclioolhouse; if you wanted somebody to go on your bond, you would apply nt once to men like Governor Northnn or Ool. Hob Hardeman, the‘watch-dog of the treas ury.’ You never would think of going for help to a Third Party ‘scrub.”’ ========== — leinselves four years lienee. spi But these patriots are not looking so rn! far ahead.'The assiduity with which they cling around Republican head quarters In Now York begging for money to defeat the Democrats shows that they have a very keen eye for present’ opportunities. The Demo- y In oratio party In Its progress has often encountered unprincipled conspiracies such ns this between the Republicans and the People’s Party, and It has new er failed to orush them. ,-,'1 it* Dr. Hand will be an easy victim for the Second’* old Demoorntlo warhorse —Hon.

He is working in his own interests, as he wants to succeed Senator Sanders, of Montana, and “Me ami Prince Ross,” who practically constitute tho National Campaign Committee, are constantly juggling to discover how this can he brought about. ■ Thr Third Party convention which met til Albany failed to do one very important thing.

' Tho lessees of the Western and At lantio have committed a direct viola lion of the lease, whloh requires that all the principal offices of the road shall bo in tills State.

A new railroad has been obartored and will soon be biiilt In Georgia, con necting the Georgia railroad with the Central by way of Sparta, thus making a shorter route from Atlanta to Sayan nah. Muoh exoltoment has beanoreated In Brunswick by the arrest of Judge W. R. Blain, Ordinary of Glynn oounty, for stealing money from a merchant’s aafe, Blain Is a prominent lawyer and a man of high eoolal standing, and many of the people there refuse to be lieve him guilty. It is aaid that Col, Hook, the Repub lican leader of the State, interceded in behalf of the Rev. Thad Pickett and obtained the Third Party Congres sional nomination for him In the Ninth. Hon. IE 0.

Griggs for re-election as Solltitor of The Black and IVatson joint debate at Crawfordvlllo to-day Is now the ab sorbing topic in Tenth District poli tics. Black Is ready to handle the Third Partyite with gloves off. tlie Pataula circuit the Atlanta Con- stitutlon says, editorially: “Beluga fine lawyer,and the choice of an overwhelming majority of the voters of the Pataula, the legislature could not do otherwise than to elect him, Mr. Griggs has many friends throughout the State who will earu- estly assist him in his race for re-elec tion. He is one of the most popular of the public men of Georgln.nnd will no doubt make a brilliant race before the next legislature," Mr. Griggs’ manly course at the con vention of the Second Congressional distriat will rcooitimend him to all as a true and loyal Democrat, and his past services as Solicitor justify Ills unanimous re-election. #*« lion, John Temple Graves, one of Georgia’s brightest orators, will take the stump at an early date for Cleve land In New York, Illinois and Wis consin. W. R. Blain, the young lawyer who was caught stealing money from a cash drawer in Brunswick the other day, lias resigned Ills office ns ordinary of Glynn county, and has left Brunswick for parts unknown. It is not likely that he will return. Atlanta Is having a warm race for the mnyornlty. Two very prominent men are now in the field, Hon. Jno. B, Goodwin, ex-mayor, nnd Hon. Jns. G. Woodward. It Is thought that Hon. A. I,. Kontz will enter and make It a three-cornered light. Some good news for farmers, who arc forever crying that there is no money in the cotton crop, comes from Dalton, Gn. One farmer In Whitfield oounty lias raised 500 bushels of onions whloh lie can dispose of, lu the local market, at ninety cents per bushel. Four hundred amt fifty dollars per acre for onions is,something better than the thirty-live dollars which our farmers generally get out of an acre of cotton. #*» The cultivation and manufacture of tobacooisan Industry which Is now 'demanding a great deal of attention in this seotlon of the State. There is a factory at Bainbridge employing thirty hands, and otliera are in the course of ereotlon in different locali ties, Some very fine tobaooo has been grown around Albany, and if the orop continues to improve in the future as it has in the past, it may give aid in the solution of the cotton problem. Gen. Weaver, the Soutli-lmter. is coming to Georgia to ask for votes. He spenks at Waycross on September 20th, and will treat Albany to a dose of Ills Third Party doctrine on the 21st. We’ll be prepared for him. WMVRB, THR BOUTH-HHER. And now there Is coming Int6. our midst tills man of All men whom the Soilth shoiild spurn nnd repudiate—a man who has grossly slandered and reviled the name, the people and the politics of our fair Southland. His words have gone further than abuse. They out-Herod Herod him self when it comes to slander and ma licious falsehood, used to fill the hearts of his hearers full to the brim with hate towards the very land and its people to whom lie Is now coining to ask for votes. Here are a few of his choice sentences on the Democrats of the South: “What is the use of further arraign ing the defunct Democracy, with all I ?| COl,. J. m. urkios Writes » I.eltVr lit Welch he Carnet* »jl False Impresslaa. opinion! IVe know that its acts com prise murder, treason, theft, arson, fraud, perjury, and all orimes possible Livingston lms accepted the dial lenge of Watson to meet him in joint debate at Douglasvllleou the tilth, and tins sent challenges to Wntson to meet him at several points ill the Tenth District. The campaign is red hot lip. in the Tenth. s’ 1 # Two more steamers, having had cholera aboard, arrived in New York Saturday morning. They are now de tained at the quarantine .stat ion where they will be kept for twenty days. The authorities are determined to keep the disease out of the country. In spite of the fact that the Alliance of South Carolina resolved to remain solid for Democracy, tho Thlid Party movement in that State is taking color, and has already obtained a following of somelnomeiit. They will put for ward an electoral ticket, which will, however, go the way of all other Third Party tickets in the South—to defeat. for an organization to connive at." Another of his choice bits of ntalib- Ions slander reads as follows: “No Republican onn ever, under any circumstances, have any part or lot with the hungry, rebellion*, man-hat ing, woman-selling gang, oorporateit trader the name fit Demooraoy, a name so full of Btencli and poison that it should be blotted from the vocabulary of civilized man, and handed over to the barbarism that it sc fitly now nnd in all the past has represented.” These are but examples from speeches made by Gen. Weaver, show- ing what he has thought and said of a people whose support lie is now com ing to ask. You, Third Partyltes, who have de serted the Dem(1 (‘ratiq party, consider what this mail has said of you and our fathers. If you want proof you can find all these things on official rec ord. Jie is coining to ask the support or one whom he hasoursed nnd reviled Consider well, can you give him your vote If you think you can associate with and support this mall who lias cursed you, and so decide, then may God have mercy on a conscience which has been seared by the prejudice nnd madness which the false visions of Third Party' ism have brought upon us.. The Herald published, a few day* ago, ap annouhccinent-thnt Col. J. M, Griggs, of Dawson, would like to be Informed of all Tllirtl Party levees in, the distriot, so that lie could make preparations to have their orators met and answered. In the announcement the ‘Hkrai.ii stated that Col. Griggs, himself, would 1 like to have a tflt with Col. Peek. Cuff ] Griggs wishes to correct this state ment, as he says tils former letter did not oonvey that Idea, which he consid ers too boastful. nerc Is Ills letter, which explains Ills nttltude: f, Dawson, Ga„ Aug. 81,18B2. To the Editor nt tho Albany Hehai.di I have received acopy of the Hrr- ald of the 80th Inst, containing re- uest to County Demooratlo Executive Joinmittees to keep me posted as to People’s Party meetings ill the various uountles of the Second district. I thank you for your kindness. In the article referred to I note the statement w lJ " |J Cl The average tariff on general farm supplies Is 88.8 per cent, or $83.80 on the hundred dollars. Does that look like a booboof Suppose a farmer could save thirty-three dollars on every hundred that lie spends, Heard oounty would save at least one hun dred thousand dollars that is now takeh from her people by this infa mous high tariff of the Republican party. And yet the Third Party says the tariff question Is not to be consid ered. Great Scott!—Heard County Banner. A. At Independence, Iowa, the other day, Nancy Hanks beat her own record by two seconds, trotting a mile in tlie unprecedented time of 2:05Vf. This is now the trotting reoord of the world. The work of the Augusta Chronicle in maintaining the publication of its daily amid snail disadvantages is a bold stroke in journalistic enterprise. While part of the building was in dailies the morning edition was being printed. It looks well in its new dress Of type obtained from the Constitu tion. It .will soon he ill its own quar ters again. The country Is nt present stirred pp over tho three exhibitions of barbar ism to which public attention has been invited at New Orleans. It is esti mated that nt least $1,000,000 will change hands ns the result of these lawless nnd uncivilized pugilistic ex hibitions. 'There are not many places In this country where such fights would bo allowed. There Is still hope for New Orleans, however, as the ex pulsion of the state lottery shows that that city is gradually becoming llzed. civi The best element df the Negroes in the State are down on Watson and Peek. Bill Pledger, tlie Negro lender of the Republicans iii the State, said in a speech at Monroe .Wednesday : “At the recent Republican conven tion 1 urged the. nomination of a t icket for State-house officers, but a ‘close corporation’ had prearranged the mat ter. The party, to which I primarily owed allegiance, having thus lied the Held before a single shut had been tired, I feel as a loyal Georgian, that I should support that ticket whose nom inees by tlieir public mid private char acter furnish the best guaranty of an attempt at. ‘equal rights to all and special privileges to none’—whose rec ord is an assurance that all citizens, irrespective of politics or color, will Como nearer the enjoyment of ‘life, liberty property.’ J udged by this cri terion l must, as between the Third Party and the Democrats, give my sup port to Governor Northern Col. Peek represents-the ‘rug-tag-and-bobtail’ of the rough and tough elements that have sloughed off from the Democraoy. There is not much fear of cholera entering our ports by emigrant ships on account of the stringent quarantine regulations which keep all vessels out for twenty days. But it is feared that emigrants landing in Canada or Mex ico may make their way to the United States and that the disease may be brought In that way. Quarantine reg ulations will he preserved along these' borders as well, nnd every precaution taken to prevent the entrance of the plague. Russia numbers her deaths daily by the thousands from the dis ease, and other parts of Europe are suffering likewise. A lively doouinent has been injected into the campaign In tho South in the shape of a statement made by a Re publican tlmt Post had been hired in Georgia to detent the Democrats, and tlmt this Republican himself contrib uted $800 to Post's salary. The state ment was made that the Third Party movement was aided by the Republi cans with no other intention than that of beating the Solid South. A few more ndmissions like this on the part of Republicans and the Third Party in Georgia will la a.thing of the past. **# Thu political situation in Alabama bears a serious and troublous aspect for the Democratic parly. The Kolb men are sore over the defeat of their candidate, and his adherent* refuse to vote for the Cleveland electoral tlok- et. They will put an Independent tioket in the Held which will be utiin- structed, and, If elected, several of them will oast'a .Third Party ballot. With the Republican and Democratic electoral tiokets In the field this one lias a good chance to win, ns there are only 100,000 Demooratlo votes to 110,- 000 Republican in the state, and a good many of the Demooratlo votes have gone to the Third Party, and many others have alligned themselves with the Kolb faction. This is the field for Democratic orators and several of them should be sent there. In addition to his announcement that he would run for Congress in the Seventh, Hon. Seab Wright, of Rome, lias received thelndnrsement and nom ination of the Third Party, which met in convention nt Cartersville on Thurs day. Mr. Wright says, most positive ly, that he is not a Third Partyite and will notncceptthe nomination. He as serts that lie is an independent Demo crat and will run as such. It is un derstood, however, that he will accept all the 'Third Party support he can get. He says he would support all The first ot the series of joint de bates between Watson and Black oc curred nt Crnwfordville Saturday. It was one of tlie largest political dem onstrations tlie State has seen in years, there,belng fully 0,000 voters present. Mr. IVatson spoke first and began in his dramatic style to defend his rec ord and Ids actions. His speecli was defensive throughout. I11 his turn Mr. Black took up Wats nil’s record nnd, thoroughly, exposed its corrup tion. He showed how Traitor Wntson had Carried I lie Democratic Hag to 1 Congress and iiati failed to bring it j back to his peep’e. Watson tlieq coil-' (eluded in a brief sjceeii, making a j feeble attemp’t (o attack ami answer ’ Ids adversary'.: speecli. ’The crowd ! was largely with Black. 'The next ! joint,debate occurs al Sparta to-mor- ; row. 'TtiK Dawson News is authority for 1 this statement: “Nov l'llli ELICTOKAI. COLI.EIIE. Under tlie new apportionment the electoral college this year contains 441 votes. Two hundred nnd twenty-three votes are necessary to n choice. In 1888 the Republican vote was 282, and, with the new apportiontment and with the same states, would now be 249. 'The Democratic vote then was 168, and, under the new apportionment, would be 185, Five states are now considered doubtful: New York, Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts, formerly Republi can, and Connecticut, formerly Demo cratic. These states have gone Demo oratlo 111 state elections since 1888. Taking away the vote of the first four from the Republican vote, togeth er with four Michigan votes, which will be Democratic, we have 166 votes as surely Republican, together with 20 votes from the now states, making 186 sure Republican votes. Taking Conneoticut’s vote from the Democratic column and adding the four Michigan votes wo have 178 votes ns surely Democratic. It will thus be seen that Demooratlo success requires just 50 votes from doubtful states. Combinations of eltlr or New York and Indlann, or New York nnd Massachusetts will give the election to Cleveland. But ns there are only 40 votes in the fpur doubtful states, outsideof New York,New York will be necessary to Demooratic sue cess as that will require 50 votes from the doubtful states. WHAT PEEK'S SEKIIIRORS NAY. A Mr. Felker, who has for years been a close neighbor to Col. Peek, makes the following remarks on the Colonel' candidacy: “Mr. Peck ought to a make good Gov ernor. I have lived near neighbor to him and have known him well for for ty years, and can truthfully say tlmt he is good for nothing else. JIo has been a perfect failure at evcythfiighe lias undertaken, and lie lias undertaken many. If he is good for anything it is | something that lie lias not yet tried.” it wan a noon letter, that “lie (referring to me) is partlcu- " ' wltl larly anxious to have a tilt with Col. :k.” this impression, :h inteiitio Peek.” If my letter to you conveyed 101 ~ " I write to disclaim any such intention. An implied boast is contained therein that I do not like to have go out as coming from me. 1 mentioned Col. Peek by name in my letter because the committee, of whioh I have the honor of being a member, is tlie State Campaign Committee, and Col. Peek is the candidate of the Peo ple’s Party for Governor. While I do desire to be present at all of the 'Third Party meetings possibles and will, if neoessary, meet Col. Peek 1 in joint discussion, X want it distinct ly understood that I am not “spoiling for a fight” with anybody, especially with the great Mogul of the People’s Party in Georgia. Besides, there are numbers of older and abler Democrats in this district, better fitted, in every way, to fight the battles of the Grand Old Party, than I. I desire to be kept informed as to Third Party movements and meetings, that I may confer with the oounty committees and the Central committee and see that the Demooratlo party is represented at all meetings. As for myself, personally. 1 am always “ling to talk and work ready and willing 1 for Demooratlo success, yet 1 am un willing to be placed before the people df-constituted candidate for the as a sell position of “Cook Robin’s” slayer. Please do me the kindness to set ine right. Ms Again thanking you, I remain, Truly yours, J. M. Ginaas. The IIkrald cheerfully publishes the above to set Col. Gtiggs aright. FNihlou In Hall, "Mam’selle Chic,” writing from .Lon don to the Chicago Herald, says: When a pretty face is shadowed by one of the picturesque shirred cloth hats which are made to match simple gowns atjd wraps one knows at once that tha charm of these fashions has won a convert. It is strange that not more of them are used in this country, for they are be coming and rest upon the hair so lightly that they do not disarrange even tilt most fluffy or the most elaborate coiffure. But it would hardly be in accordance with the principles that govern the ideas of American milliners to urge upon their clientele hats which are not only pretty but Inexpensive, and- these becoming cloth affairs with the full ribbon garur- tures never cost more than $4 or $5—■ often less. i Black and white hats are in great ia- vor, especially in the rice straw, so fash ionable this season. Thus a.black straw hat has white chip facing the brim, and- the outside lias a veil of white applique lace draped upon it, the scallops falling just over the edge of the brim. f The Marquis hat, three cornered, with brim pointed in front and turned up on the sides and hack, is a.chic, close, small shape. It is especially liked in black and white combinations, as it can then be worn with various diesses, There is no doubt but that the re cent staikes will play a large part in the present campaign. f) Vv ; Tammany will give Hugh' J. Grant another turn, and will make him its nominee for Mayor of New York. Dollars still continue tO'roll.out of the treasury into the pockets ef 500,000 men purported to be Federal soldiers This Republican pension fraud will cease after tlie 4tli of next March. We publish this week a letter from tin* Al bany 11 kk A id) by Hon; <>. B.Stevens to the Deni- oeruta of ibis district. Ills an able document, and deserves to bo read by every person wit-dn the bounds of the district. Mr. Stevens is not only a Democrat, true nnd loyal to himself and to bis party, but bo is a patriot of the highest noblest type. All honor to him. There are some followers«if his in this county who could, with protit to themselves, follow tlie advice he gives in his timely letter.—Blakely Observer. Mr. Stevens’ letter has been copied lilac Ren Rus- *» nePB,1 y b - v tlle Papers of the State, vocating the sub-treasury scheme and thd government ownership of rail roads. But this takes out the gist of sell is going to Congress, it is rumored that lie is going to do something even better than that. Don’t mention it, but it is rumored that he will soon lend one of the belles of another State to ,the altar. Congratulations all round, Ben£ It is said that Gov. Northen has given up all hopes of Georgia making an exhibit at the World’s Fair. Pub lic “spirited citizens should take the matter in hand and see to it that Geor- their platform except tlie planks ad- K ia takes a proper stand among her sister States. --Unhappily, there is no Flower Trust to absorb society’s wall flowers. ami all comments upon it have been favorable and complimentary. It was a good letter. When tlie seething foam of Third Partyism lias been dissipated into gas eous vapor, there will not be lef£ crys- talized in the party’s crucible enough solid substance to tinge the politics of a single State. Parson Pickett is one of those who iove to run for office. He runs for the fun there is in it, at.least so it seems, for, although he’s run for nearly every office in his county and district, that’s about all lie’s ever got out of it. At next accounts lie’ll still be running. Dr. Felton has been interviewed on tlie situation, hud he appears’to be a sort of political agridstifi in’file pres ent campaign. L.uioii Com miss 1 on uu Puck’s won derful distortion of statistics has proven an.exception to the rule that figures do not lie. In the c.oiiimittmuiit trial of Lizzie Borden the judge pronounced • her “probably guilty,” and she has been sent to jail to await trial in November. Uncle Sam is 42,000,000 in pocket on the “money order” list. A great many people have failed to call for their casii, and have left no clew by which they can he traced. Sear IV right declines to accept tlie Herd Party nomination ih the Sev enth, still he is determined to run for Congress agnifist' Judge Moddox, the Democratic nominee. Tom IVatson has at last resorted to defensive tactics. Arraigned at the bar. of public opinion, he has been re duced to the necessity of defending his rotten record. In NoVeniber he will be convicted.
