to be advertised for g,nd submitted.
• The bill provides 'f or ' the lease
of the road, ‘including -all its
houses, worksHops, rolling stock,
depots, appurtances of every kind
■'aud'CliafaCter, to any party,, com
pany‘dr corporation making good
and'sufficient security. The time
for the lease may be for 20, 3Q, dr
50 years’, and the price not ‘less
than $35,000, $40,000, or r «45,000
per mouth, according to -time the
lease is to ran;;;the E renlal to be
paid monthly.
The governor shall advertise the
lease withiiySO days after the pas-
sage of’fhe act, for *4 weeks in 4
papers in Georgia, and one each in
Chicago, Cincinnati and New York.
The bids must be submitted to the
governor on the 27th of June next,
and the governor, comptroller gen
eral, secretary of state, treasurer
and attorney general shall open
the bids on July 1st next, and de
cide which, if any, shall be ac
cepted, they having the right! to
•reject all, if not strictly up to the
provisions of the law. Each bid
der shall deposit in a b&nk within
the state $25,000 'as a guarantee of i
good faitb.
Re-advertisement m provided for
if all bids are rejected.
If a bid is accepted, and thebid-
der fails to -com ply with said bid,
the .bidder forfeits $25,000 and is
liable to the state for any damage
that may occur.
This lease will go into effect
when the present lease expires.
The lessess shall deposit with
the state treasurer $500,000 in val
id bonds, as a guarantee that the
contract will be carried out.^faith-
full'y. . . v
Full provision is made for any
breach of contract, and damage to
the state resulting therefrom. The
bond required is strong, and foil.
It is provided that all better
ments and improvements of what
ever character shall be at the ex
pense of the lesses, and that the
road shall at all times he kept in the
condition of first-class roads in
Georgia. The governor shall have
the power to appoint a board of
examiners with fall power to in
vestigate hud determine if in any
way the value of any portion of
the property is at'any time depre
ciated by the lesses.
The lesses shall make an official
report of the exact condition of tlie
road and all appurtancee oh the
1st day of October of each -year.
The lesses shall pay all taxes
during fee ter iii of their lease.
Full provision ijf made for the
p; otaction of fee State in • every
particular, as to competition, the
control of rates, etc.,' tty state au
thority. In fact; fee bill fully
protects the rights and interests
of the. state; and as the legislature
has decided there must be aTease,
the bill is, as good aS cottld be
made.
The question of betterments
claimed by the jJresent /lesses is
unsettled; but aAthS state is amply
able to protect the new lesses, this
fact will not stand in the. way of
business men Who want -athe _ road.
The road'will be leased just as it
is when the bids are advertised for,
and no matter what fife outcome.
o£ the claim of the present leases
may be, the state guarantees to
mkie gco.1 any defection.
Provision is made for the opera
tion of the road by the governor,
until a' new legislature can act,
incase there is a failure to' per
fect a leas? under this bill.
Though the lease bill is’ aixrply
protective' to the state, we still fe-
sist that the legislature m'acfe a
mistake in not providing for th‘e
sale of the road.

The claims set up* as to Iowa and
Ohio are only partly correct, and
they will not admit the most po
tent cause of republican disaffec
tion. "There’can be no doubt of
the fact that republican misrule,
and the extreme'position assumed
by that party in regard to the tar
iff question was the foundation of
democratic victory, and the other
caiises were only auxiliary, though
helpful to fee democrats.
The republican claim of sup
pression in Virginia is absolutely^
false, and so known by those who
use it most persistently. The
democratic victory in Virginia was
a double protest against republi
canism. A personal protest against
Mahone, and’ a general protest 7
against the methods practiced by.
the present administration. This’
is evident from the fact that the
ranks t>f democratic voters were
recruited by prominent republicehk
from all sections of the state, and
by negroes in nearly every county.
The democratic vote, was greater
than ever before, arid gains were
made at- nearly every precinct.
The protest was emphasized by
the fact that the administration at
Washington w&s especially anx
ious that Mahone should be elect
ed, arid money vras used freely to
bring about that result.
In Obidftlie legislature 13 large
ly demC'eratfe, arid there is no
chance that]a republican senator
will be rile'cte'A
In IoWa the legislature is very
close, though repufeif^M arid
-hopes are entertained that through
republican disaffection a democrat
may be elected to succeed Senator
Allison.
In New Jersey the democratic
victory is complete
In Massachusetts large gains
were, made, and hope is entertained
that something better 'may be done
for the democrats in 1892.
The cailseB that helped the dem
ocrats last week have an element
of national politics in them, and it
is not unreasonable to believe tliat
these same Voters,' and more, .will
rally.to fee standard of Cleveland
and tariff reform in 1892.

question was considerably argued
