Tnit efforts to reorganize the bank rupted order of Iron Hall, so far, don’t seem to be very gratifying. Thr best thing the people of every section can t’o Is to work for the big gest Democratic majority Georgiaever had. Thk Republicans have decided that if they cannot oarry New York In any other way they will drop argument and use boodle. Gkoruia Democrats are no longer working to win, but Just to swell the proportions of Governor Nortbon’s al ready large majority. As a politician Peek tins about pet ered out. He has made a failure at almost everything else and now tliuls' that lie is unlit for a politician. The Republicans are every day real izing the hopelessness of their rause, and as they look around them, on every side, they see their ranks becoming more and more depopulated and broken down. igs an open secret that they have determined to droji argument and use money as soon as they realize that that Is the only thing which will af ford them any hope of carrying New York state, and the sad fact will sooner or later dawn upon them. The g. o. p. Is exceedingly blue now over Its great losses In Maine and Ver mont, especially since the Australian ballot box system has been ndopted in Mnine, and the result shows plainly which side oan be charged with cor ruption In the previous elections. The party, too, had hoped to make a stronger stand in Arkansas, but the state rolled jin, as usual, Its good, old time Democratic majority. | The Indiana Independents,this year, have determined to side with the Dem ocrats, and they control the politics of the stale, while It is stnted, on good grounds, that gains In Nhw York will put that statu into the Democratic ranks. Thcsu facts assuro Democratic success. The trouble is the MoKinley law, which has been In operation for about two years now, has proven very un- sal Isfaotory to tho massfs of the peo ple of tho country. There are hardly any of tho necessities of life upon which they are not taxed, and they have decided that It is time to call linlt. This they will do In November. Col. J. M. Griggs lias been invited to meet “Cyclone” Davis in joint debate at Thomasvllle. Col.

Our people are confident of carrying the State The organization of the party is better than it has ever been, and if the Judg ment of local politicians is to be relied upon, New York’s electoral vote will be in the Democratic column.” TUB MATTER OP URAtiE. It Is probnble that an advisory com mittee will be chosen by the dlrootors of tho Richmond Tormlnnl. Tho sys tem is coming around gradually. Is What the nntlonal flower Is to be has not been decided, butfeoent events allow that the Now York State Flower is a daisy.—Philadelphia Record. kUUUTI.V UPP. No more thorough campaign work was ever done in tho State than is be ing carried on right now. All honor to Governor Northern and the State Committee! Every oity paper Is telling Its peo ple not to tear cholera, ns their thor ough henllh and sanitation will keop It out. Yes, that’s what tho New York papers said. 1 Tom Watson is not making much headway with the small portion of the Republican corruption fund allotted him.-lie will need more boodle If ho expects to accomplish anything. Gkn. Roukohanh' Idea of a “sym posium” is “a pT-loe where everybody can get full." Tho Society of the Army of tho Cumberland, In session nt Chattanooga on Friday last, hold one of these gut-full sennoes on Cameron Hill Friday night. tu formed Between the American Sugar Refining Company and the jobbers of United States. This ib one of the largest trusts of tho kind put on foot up to date. Its object is to maintain prices by specific agreement, and the oonsumer can look out for a rise. An esteemed contemporary calls at tention to the fact, that of the eighteen States carried by Cleveland in 1888 not one hns since been onrried by the Republicans. Of the twenty States giving their Kleotoral voto to Harrison eleven have in the meantime gone Dem onratlo. Is not this the verdiot on Mo- Klnley’s bill? Notiiino has been heard from the waterworks tower as yet. The de mands for struotural steel havo been rushed in upon all the other mills sinoo the Carnegie strike,and the con sequence Is they are overcrowded, and are late in getting out uiuoli of their work. The dolay of the tower is prob* ably due to this fact. Thk Demoorats of New York arc hot on the trail of Labor Commissioner Peok. They have requested to be al lowed to examine Ills olllolal report, and he refused on the ground that some of his Information had been con fidential, Now a writ of mandamus has been asked to compel the commis sioner to furnish printed oopies to the Democratic committee. Of what use is a publio officer unless bis work is made known to the public" The trouble is Peck and the Republican party have not made so much capital out of the report as they at llrst antic* i pa ted. In a reoent speech in Indiana Gov. MoKinley inndo this remarkable state- men ti “A Demncratio revenue tariff never built n lire in a romance, never opened a mine, never stnrted a factory, but ns a thousand old men in tills audience will remember n Democratic tariff for revenue only, from 1810 to 1800, put out the Urea time had been built by the protective tariff' of 1842.” In reply to Ills assertion the India napolis News (Ind.) says: "Mr. MoKinley, it will be noticed, declared that the tnrill'Inw of 1840 put out the fires of tho furnnnoes (lint lmd been built by tho tariff of 1842. Rut during tile period, 1840-1800, the annu* nl produutlon of iron in this country just about doubled. It was about five hundred thousand toirn nt the begin ntng of the period, It was nearly a million at tho close. Clearly some new fiiruunces must lmvo been light ed. During that time the develop ment of nnthrnolte iron making was carried out, and bituminous coal be gan to be used also in iron making, Charcoal Iron smelting decreased as the result of those cheaper processes, and the (Ires in some charcoal furnaces were doubtless extinguished—uni not by the tariff. Moreover, the making of iruu rails grew ib tills period from pranficnlly nothing to an output in 1880 of 205,000 tons.” , This is only one instance of where Republican innnngcrs and orators are badly off In their history when they come to speak of the tariff. Thls-is a way Hie Republicans lmvc of trying lo demonstrate their points, not by argument, but by citing facts which ni'V'r Imve existed and never will. The evidence brought, out by Gov ernor McKinley’s assertion Is wholly in favor of the Democrats, and It Is fortunate for them that Governor Mc Kinley made himself liablo to such a correction. Tub Philadepliia Record says: “Not only is there no sign nor bint of cholera in this oity, but the ohanoes of its importations are so remote that Mayor Stuart could ffnd no reasonable ground for accepting a proffered do nation of funds to he used in lighting the epidemic. Entire immunity from the disease 1s difficult of attainment in large communities, yet the observ ance of a few simple bygienio rules will enable the eitizen to go about his business in perfect security. To drink lotbing that has not been boiled; to eht nothing that has not been ooolced to change the underclothing fre quently ; to wash the hands aa occasion may serve in a disinfecting solution— these are the easily remembered cou- ditions of safety.” liEOIllllA AM. KII5IIT. Ool. Peek’s little pooket campaign has about petered out now, and the only tiling for wliioli the Demoorats need to work is to swell the propor* Hons of Georgia’s Deinocratio major ity. Every vote brought baok into the Deinocratio ranks does that much good for the party, and our speakers are now working to this end. There Is no use to deny it,’ a good many have left the Democratic ranks and gone with the wayward Third Party leaders. But they nre coming baok, and toward getting them baok should all our energies be devoted, Not because the candidates of the Democratic party need votes, but just for the sake of harmony. Let’s keep the old party solid Georgia! _________ a good title “Rainbow Chasers” Is for our erratic brethren of the Third Party. Mxl Branch got a good lioking the other day. Mel remarked that auy man who voted the Demooratia tioket would steal, and Capt. \Vm. Batchelor, of Belair, gave him a pounding. The cholera scare will do one good thing for the country at least. It will cause every oity and town to clean up so thoroughly that there’ll be no at traction for disease of any kind. Tub Republicans are still keeping up their tin-plate plant at Elwood, Ind. One tin-plate manufactory Indiana was sold by, the sheriff, and such will be the fate of this one—after the eleotion. ••The Deinocratio National Commit tee has Just Issued an address to the people of the United Stales. The ad dress congratulates the country on the results of the State elections in Maine, Vermont and Arkansas, and then goes on lo show how tills has brought dis may to the Republican and Third Parly manipulators. The Republi cans bail every favoring force nt their coiiiinnml In Mnine and Vermont except public opinion, and with nil this their test vote In these States proved n failure. After empha sizing the encouragement to be drawn from these faots, the article is signed by the chairman of the two Democrat ic committees, Harrlty anil Dickinson. »*« In the Joint debate yesterday nt Thomson Muj. Black scored some good hits on AVntson, He mnde a home thrust nt Watson and drove the steel into his soul when be spoke of Wat son repudiating Ills Democratic mis sion and bis change since. 1888 by tell ing the people that there wns a party then with People’s Party issues, anil asked why the Third Party lenders did lint inform nod stir up the people then, Instead iff advocating Cleveland nnd Democracy. He showed Watson’s weakness, Inconsistency and want of information, nnd routed Watson’s pre sumptions analogies of self to 'Jeffer son nnd Stephens. MnJ. Black was in Ills best vein and kept Watson ex plaining. »*# In a speech before Tammany the grent orator, Iloiirke Cochran, uses the fol lowing words in reference to Grover Cleveland: “I have beard men say that Mr, Cleveland’s letters came too frequent ly; that they embraced too many sub jects; that Mr.Clevelnnd wielded too facile a pen. But I believe I speak the truth when I say that bis letters, pen ned in a presidential canvass, bring out most ulenrly this: That Grover Cleveland stands ns the exponent of a Democratic party, ns a Democratic candidate representing Democratic principles. In every letter lie lias written you will search in vain for any word that seeks support on nny personal grounds. He appeals for the success of the Democrnotic party.” POLITICAL NOTES,.

The organization is all right, and its purposes are such as will be com mended In all legitimate business circles. The banks have their grievances and abuses just ns nil other branches of trade have, and they can do more than any other agency to remedy many of these evils. One of the questions that catfie up for consideration at last week’s meet ing was the matter of grace—the three days grace allowed on notes and drafts. Except III cases where collection Is being made in the ordinary transac tion of business, we cannot see where in tills question Is one affecting the bnnks. And even then It can only be In reckoning exchange; for it Is a no torious fact that in making loans and negotiating advances, the hanks inva riably calculate the allotted three days grace in the discount or interest ac count. Nothing wns done with this question in the bankers’ inciting, nnd we fall to see wlmt action could have been taken upon it unless the allotted three days grace had been uniformly declared off am! all calculations of interest or dis count including them left cut uf the Interest or discount calculations. As It is now the banks lose nothing by it. Capt. W. E. Wooten, the Democratic nominee of llte Tenth Senatorial dis trict, has been doing some good cam paigning over lit Worth, where the Third Party is supposed to have some strength, lie now has bis race in good shape. The people of Albany intend to see that the llffli annual session of the Georgia Chautauqua will be the grandest success of litem all. thai they have both reoovered from their illness, mid are able to be up again. Where is Dr. Hand, the Third Party nominee for Congress? His plan of campaigning seems to be a very quiet one, if, indeed, he has ndopted any nt all. Dr. Hand can speak, and is rather fond of debate, but lie seems to be bor dering on the edge of a still hunt in his race for Congress, lint, perhaps, alter all, the Doctor lacks faith, and his quietude and seeming indifference may lie due to this fnet. It takes faith to succeed in politics. Some of the best business men of the city think that the best thing the farm ers can possibly do, is to bold their cotton for better prices. As the crop is short, they think better prices arc sure to come before the season is near gone. Col. Reuben Jones is going to have bird Party opposition in bis race for the Senate—a Mr. Hightower, of Da mascus. But t lie Colonel will “get there” just the same.

A NATION’* SVIllM’IIIV. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President of the United States, hns been critically ill nt Loon Lake for several days past The reports from her sick bedside nre somewhat conflicting, but there appears to be no doubt of the fact that she Is a very sick woman, and Hie sym pathies^ all good citizens will go out to the President in this bis hour of domestic trial and great personal anx* lety. The President is himself n conse crated Christian, and the prayers of nil Christian people for the recovery of Ills devoted wife should be offered, and will, no doubt, be appreciated. When it comes to personal affliction or bereavement, the intelligent Chris tian people of America stand above partisanship nnd know no pnrty lines. Wnoor up Democracy. That’s tile war cry. Hon. J. T. Furgerson, the Demo* orntic nominee for the Legislature in Lee, was in Albany on Saturday, nnd met many of bis future constituents here. Mr. Furgerson made a splendid rnee in tile primary, nnd should re oclve the cordial support of every Dem oernt 111 Ins county. Air. C. C.

They nominated Henry A. Sibley, of Cobb county. Tho convention was held at Rome, and everything pnssed off smoothly. He was opposed by MoGarrity, of Pauld ing, in tho cnucus, but he carried the day, and was’nominated by acclama tion in the convention. Cot.. Ham says that twenty-six po litical parties have been organized to light Democracy and that the tough old party lias officiated at the burial of them all. The People’s Party is a mero passing phenomenon In American politics, like the know-nothings, anti-Masons, greenbnekers and other ephemeral fac tions that have arisen from time to time. Even in passing, the People’s Party is not likely to make an impres sion upon the legislation or government of the country. Its programme Is so wild and extravagant that its owu supporters would shrink from putting it into operation if yiey had the power to do so. in Is there anything in this country free from politics? It is charged now that the brutal aotion of the Long Island clam-diggers was inspired by the politicians. In rare instancs a man Is found wbo dares act without ref erence to political consequences, and Governor Flower seems to be one of this kind. When it was suggested that his aotion might lose him some votes, he is reported as saying: “I don’t care a d— for votes, but I am going to put down law-breakers and put the Slate in possession of its property.” There is a good, sonorous ring about that.— Indianapolis News. MaJ. Baoon is back to Maoon on a flying visit from New York. Of the sit uation up there, he speaks oheerlngly: “The speech of Gov. Hill in Broo)t- The Valdosta Times comes out this week with n large and bright sixteen page trade edition. Editor Pendleton is right in the front ranks when it comes to enterprise. It is said that “Cyclone” Davis was removed from an office by Cleveland, and that is why he hates Democracy. This is the prejudice of a weak-mind- ed man. “Cyclone” must be a mis. nomer. It wui not -n theory” which Cleveland went to Now York “to confront.” It wns “it condi tion."—-Chicago Inter Ocean. It will be a “condition,” also, wliioli will front the Inter Ocean after No’ vember the 8th. Our esteemed eon temporary will then want to know what articles are going to be put on the freelist. It Nome Cholera Remedies* When tile cholera raged in 1832 French chemist hntl a prescription which was believed to have saved many lives in a prominent western city. It lias been kept sixty years, and its efficacy is still an article of faith in localities where it has been used, is the following: Tincture of opium* 2 drachma; tmlpiiuric other* 2 drachma; tincture of red pepper* drachma; French brandy* enough to make ounces. Dose* n teaspoonfal. The New York Sun several years ago bad a noted physician, who had studied the disease, prepare a remedy, which is as follows: Tincture of opium (laudanum), spirits of cam pbor, tincture of oapslemn (red pepper), tine turo of rhubarb, tincture ot peppermint; of each one ounce. Directions—An adult may take one teaspoonful in water every three hours, or oftoner, it the case is severe. Children, according to age; seven years, s drops; ten years, 10 drops; twelve years, 13 drops; fifteen years, IS drops. We find the following announce rnent published in the Thoinasvilli' Times: After consultation with the cnmli dates for the Legislature, we have mailo Hie following agreement: The managers for the election in October shall consist of a jnstioe, or notnry iibllc, one Democrat anU one People’; ’arty man for enoli preoinot.

C That's all rig-lit, perlmps, but if the Democrats nre on top in Thomas coun ty they ought to stay there and keep control of tho county’s elections. This tiling of making terms nnd forming treaties with the Third Pnrty peopl nod their candidates is not in accord with the Herald’s idea of Deinooratio methods, ami the precedent that the Chairman of the Deinocratio Excou live Committee of Thomas county has here set may be troublesome in the fu tore. Third Pttrtyltes are entitled to no more consideration from our Dem ocratic authorities than Republicans are. But tlie Democrats of Thomas seem to imve a sort of “off” way of do ing tilings this year. Col. W. N. Spence, Solicitor General of the Albany Circuit, will probably go in again wit bout opposition. Well he lias made an efficient and faithful prosecuting attorney for the State, and is entitled to re-eledtion. When the Deinooratio party organization of the Second Congressional district was imperiled this summer, Bill Spence took hold of the banner of the old party and went all over tlie district contend ing for the old party methods. His services were a very present help in deed to the party, and he should not be forgotten for it. When favors nre to be bestowed by the party such faithfulness ns Mr. Spence has shown deserves recognition. The many friends of Mr. nnd Mrs./ . M. Bacon will be glad to learn tliatr Ximbods are already making prep arations for hunting ns soon as the season opens. They expect to have some line sport, nnd it is not probable that they will be disappointed, for quails are said to be very plentiful. The officers of tlie Sam read seem to have no doubt their being able to get around nil the difficulties now in their way and secure entrance to their depot site on the corner of Washington nnd North streets. Tlie time for the hear ing of the cnRe of injunction by the Central ngninst the Sam has been set for Monday, nnd there seems to bo Jit- tie doubt in the mind of the public^ that Ibis injunction, ns well as the ' llrst one, will lie dissolved. -.1 } The new depot still stands in statu quo. Officers of all tlie roads have been here to inspect it, and all of them nre satislled with the results. But ns yet tlie Central lias not paid its share as per contract, so tile depot is still in the linmls of the contractors. The Central is willing to divide expenses 1 equally, hut don’t want to pay for the ^ extra nmount of use it lias for n depot. S The people would like to see the mat- ter settled. Many of them travel fre quently, nnd they are tired of using n barn for a railway station. 1’kr estimates of various persons ns to the population of Albany, are indeed various. Some place the number as low ns 5,000 while others are not near so stingy with their figures, nnd run our citizenship up as high ns 8,000.. These persons nre doubtless f somewhat overzealous however, and their estimation would bo nearer cor rect if they embraced the population living in the suburbs of thh oity, but beyond its limits. The fact of the nar rowness of Albany’s limits is going to be something of a bone of contention in tfie future, nnd it will not be long before the municipal domain will havo to be extended. What the population J oftliecTty is noo.,e oan positively state, " and n local census would without a doubt, prove very gratifying to the public generally. Including the sub- ^1 orbs, we do not doubt that Albany’s \ 1 population would reach the 8,000 mark, or certainly very near that. Htntiiw of the IVatcrwork*. Everybody is anxious to know when the waterworks system will be' com-^ pleted, the gates opened, and the water turned into the mains. Nobody enn state positively when this hour for rejoicing will arrive, but any person who desires to find out for himself, can do so by taking a look at what is being done, and wliat still re mains to be done nt the waterworks sta tion. Tlie grent basi n, or reservoir, that will hold a comparatively inexhaust ible supply of water, has been com pleted, all the nrnins laid and hydrants set.

A hand-hill, which comes folded in the Saturday’s issue of the People’s Economist, announces a “Grand Peo ple’s Party Rally” at Thomasville, on Friday, Sept. 23rd. Cyclone Davis, of Texas, and Dr. I. H. Hand are the principal speakers advertised. Col. E. R. Jones, though all seems to be well for him in his candldaoy for the Legislature, should not be allowed to escape an address to bis constitu ents on the living issues of ths day. It is no secret that there will be some new departures and surprises in the scramble that will he had over the county offices of Dougherty oounty in January next. Of course the “old reg ulars" will be in for re-election, but there will probably be some who have not been aspirant* before/ and whose candidacy will keep their opponents from having a walk-over. But when loaded as soon ns the building is ready \ to receive them, which will be in a few weeks, the tower will arrive in a short while, and its erection will consume only a short period of time. Everythingis movingnlong smooth- ' v t| ly and satisfactorily, and long before the holidays, the system will be com plete, unless some unforeseen difficulty presents itself. WnMon Not In It. Prof. Z. I. Fitzpatrick, who has been summering up near the mountains in Gainesville, has kept up quite close with the Watson-and Black light in the Tenth. “Watson doesn’t stand the ghost of a chance,” said he to a Herald re porter, yesterday. “I have attended several of the rallies, and every time the enthusiasm was almost wholly with Black. “This condition of affairs, however, has been brought about in the past two or three weeks. If the eleotion had come off three weeks ago Watson would have carried the district by a good majority, but Black’s polumns have been reinforced by his excellent campaign work, and he how has a cer tain thing of it. “I have talked to the leaders on both sides, and when I left that section of the eountry, the Third Party had given up all hope. One of the leaders In Watson’s campaign told me that they then conceded the election to Black, and I am satisfied that that’s the way things are going.
