The state fair people will give ■their guests an elegant free bar- •becueion Friday of next week. There-seems to he ditile room for doubt that the farmers of Georgia, are rapidly improving fi nancially. The agricultural and industrial products of Georgia—in first-class samples — will be attractively .shown, at the state fair in Macon next week. Georgia democatie. It is also true that efforts have been made, and will continue to be made until the polls close, to secure a fall repub lican vote in Houston. If the democratic voters in Houston fail to cast their ballots next Tuesday, the republican vote may be larger than the democratic vote. This would be discreditable to us, for we can prevent it by simply voting, every man of us. Eveiy democrat should determine that he will not only vote,-but that he will see to it that his neighbors do not forget election day. This appeal applies alike to every county in Georgia. Many of our citizens will desire to attend the state fair next Tues day, but most of them can vote at their nearest preciDct before they start to Macon. But if this can’t be done, it would be better to postpone for one day the visit to the fair, than to fail tq vote. President Cleveland is eminent ly worthy in every respect of re- election. Judge Thurman is one of the ablest and most incorrupti ble men known in politics. The tariff issue is one of supreme im portance to the southern people, and the democratic side of that is sue seeks to give j iistice in taxa tion to the laboring men of the country. The republican party is eminently a northern party, espe cially favoring the rich to the dis advantage of the poor and those in moderate circumstances. J udge - Crisp has served our people faithfully, courageously, and with marked ability. He de serves the endorsement of every voter in the district. A failure to vote next Tuesday will be a failure to perform a pub lie duty, to do which we are vir tually pledged. Remember the days of republr can supremacy, and be sure to vote next Tuesday. Full arrangements for the elec tion at the.several precincts have been completed. In behalf of the petitions, it is said that our late nomination for county officers resulted in the choice of two gentlemen from Perry, two from the eastern and one from the western portion of the The Republicans of West Yif- ginnia are, it is said, under advice ^nnly,l e a^ng1he“mHhern\nd! froin ^ th^RepubHcan national com- southern sections unrepresented j dhecting all theii effoit to A Republican Scheme' Defeated. Every democrat in Georgia should vote next Tuesday,and each, one should do his best to secure at least one other wote for the demo cratic party. Being forewarned, the democrats iare forearmed against attempted ■republican election frauds in the ^doubtful Btates next Tuesday. .Democratic success, will fee the ■result. Hi In the United States supreme court in Washington, on last Mon day, Justice Bradley decided that .the law taxing commercial travel lers in a state in which they are not resident, is unconstitutional. , Grant and Hewitt, the rival democratic candidates for Mayor of New York, shook hands ih the presence of President Cleveland last Saturday, and both have pub licly proclaimed their loyalty to the democratic presidential ticket. It is reported that the alliance . farmers of Georgia and Alabama, ‘ through their respective alliance lodges, have agreed to withhold their cotton from the market from the 1st to the 20th of November. This is a determined effort to re lease themselves from tfie clutches of the unjust bagging trust; .The registration in New -York eity foots up a total of 286,511 voters,, which is 45,641 in excess of the registration of 1884. There are 856 voting- precincts- in the - city/' Fear is expressed’that there are too few precincts, and! it is suggested that the leggT time of voting be extended from 10' to 12 hours by municipal authority. At a convention held in Macon last week, the Georgia Farmers’ Alliance determined to establish a state mercantile- exchange. Mr. Felix Corpnt, formerly Mayor of Macon, was elected manager, and the exchange ..will probably be lo cated at Macon. If this seherae is successfully carried out, the wholesale trade of Georgia will be revolutionized in favor of the ia The British minister to the United States at Washington, Lord Lionel Sackville-West, has been asked to retire by President Cleveland. His offense is a re cent letter calculated to have effect in the impending presidential con test here. A California man wrote him a letter asking him how for mer British subjects, now citizens of the United States, should vote in the coming election, intimating that there was a decided leaning •to Cleveland, but the recent mes sage asking for retaliatory power against Canada, was in the Way. The British minister replied in favor of Cleveland, intimating that be believed the president’s fisher ies letter to be a sham, the spirit of whieh would not be enforced after the election. The two letters were'published, as republican cam paign documents, and it has trans pired that the whole affair was a a republican trick. The purpose was to hurt the democrats with Irish-American citizens. The minister’s meddling with Ameri can politics makes him distasteful to this government. When it comes to gathering the news, the Atlanta Constitution leads all other southern papers. On next Tuesday its reportorial service will cover tie entire states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, in the east, and Indi ana and Ohio in the west, and the election news will be as full as that of any paper published in this country, day’s issue. on the board of county commis sioners. It is admitted that the five gentlomen nominated would constitute a very fine board of commissioners, if the people ate permitted'to ratify their nomina tion in the January election for county officers. It is also true that of the four teen districts of the county, but four are represented in the nomi nees for the remaining eight coun ty offices. If the people may elect, and have always elected their Or dinary, Clerk, Sheriff, Tax Re ceiver, Tax Collector, Treasurer, Surveyor and Coroner, why should they not elect their other five coun ty officers? Let the people rule. The mis takes of one election are corrected at the next. Let the people cor rect their mistr.keif they make them. There is no law or necessity that county commissioners should be distributed over the county. They are not district road com missioners, nor district road over seers. They are commissioners of roads and revenues for the whole county. Their principal duty is to assess taxation and audit claims against the county. It is to be hoped that no more political grand juries can be or ganized in Houston, when the slate for county commissioners will be fixed (as it has been,) for weeks before the election* The old-time and proper duty of grand juries is to inquire into and prevent violations of the crim inal law, and to investigate the of ficial conduct of the public ser vants of the people. To invest them with political functions is to impair their usefulness and effi ciency as the grand inquest of the county—turn them into rings and junts, and weaken the rliguity and effect of their findings. If it is thought best to divide the county into five county com missioners districts, by legislation, (or the action of future executive committees,) let it be done, bat let the people elect these officers. Ten members of a. grand jury of eighteen can elect, should the election of county commissioners be again turned over to the grand jury. Shall these ten grand jurors, drawn by chance out of a jury box, mad'e up by six other officers ap pointed by the Judge of the Su= perior Court—shall these ten, or the people rule? Shall the people rule? To ask this question of a free people, is almost an insult to their intellk gence and manhood. And yet should no cuunter petition be sent Up, the legislature may conclude that the people of Houston county are not fit to elect their most re sponsible and representative coun ty officers. Shall the people dr the grand jury ring elect our fiscal and pub lic contract board of officers? Let the people rule.
