The joint gubernatorial canvass
between Cols. Northen and Harde
man has been declared off, on ac
count of the ill health of Col. Har
deman. Both candidates are thus
left free to deliver addresses
whenever and wherever they see
fit to accept invitations.
The enactment by congress of
the proposed federal elections force
bill would check the material

it is, to enforce negro domination.
The business men of the north,
who have money interests in the
south, should enter their protests,
strong" aud positive.
that measure, two bids were sub
mitted last Friday to the commis
sion named to open and consider
aU the bids. This commission
consisted of Gov. Gordon and the
State House officers. The bids
submitted were from the road
above, named, signed by Ex.
Norton, President, and from the
"West Point Terminal, signed by
John H. Inman, President.
Each bid was for 29 years, at
§85,000 per month. The West
Point Terminal bid however, con
tained a provision that its bid
should not be considered if any
other as good should be offered.
After a careful consideration,
the commission formally, accepted
the bid of the N., C. and St. Louis,
and Gov. Gordon sanctioned the
acceptance officially, as . Governor
of Georgia. Thus the state road
is disposed of for the next twenty-
nine years, and the educational
fund*of the state will be largely
increased when the new lease goes
into effect.
We had hoped that the proposi
tion to lease the road would fail,
and tfiat the disposition of the
road would go hack to the legisla
ture, and that a sale would be pro
vided for- However, the lease has
been accomplished, and we are
satisfied with the lessees and the
terms. The lessees belong to one
of the most extensive systems in
the south, and the state road
makes complete a line to the
Georgia seaboard, the only gap un
filled. The Atlanta Constitution
says this will be greatly beneficial
to Georgia, especially to the mer
cantile and manufacturing inter
ests, and not hurtful to any inter
ests of the state and its people,
The lease act provides a sched
ule of the belongings of the state
road, and the lessees know exactly
what they will get. However, the
claims the old lessees have made
remain to be settled, and the next
legislature must perform that
duty. The sentiment oi the peo
ple is emphatic that nothing is
due the lease company for better
ments in road-bed, tracks, bridges,
depots, and other permanent fix
tures, though the increase in num
ber and value of engines, coaches
and cars justly belongs to the com
pany of which Senator Brown is
president. This is correct, and we
dare say the legislators will voice
the will of the people when they
consider the question in Atlanta
next fall, or next summer.
—Never-before have we heard
so much-complaint concerning the
scarcity and unreliability of day
labor as the farmers . of Houston
have uttered this year. Just what
the cause is, we are unable to say,
and the farmers are not agreed-
some that more negroes than here
tofore are renting land, and that
they do not work as continually as
heretofore—consequently the Same
number of hands perform less
work. Others say that the negroes
are actually fejver in number,
many having gone out of the coun
ty, working on the railroads, and
in the cities.
—The best interests of Houston
will be surely served by keeping
within, the county all the money
possible. When a purchase is to
be made, buy in Houston if prac
ticable, without financial injury.
If the farmer needs merchandise,
buy in Houston. If the merchant,
or townsman, wants country pro
dace, buy in Houston. Now, this
can be only through co-operation
between the farmers and town peo
ple. The merchant should sell as
cheaply as possible, and should
buy at fair prices, cost of transpor
tation considered.

SP
The election bill now pending
in congress provides for federal
supervisors of national elections,
under control of United States
judges, in every district where 100
persons make petition therefor.
The discussion of this bill be
gan in the House of. Representa
tives last Thursday. Henry Cabot
Lodge is its author, and it is a
ly and mainly at the South. Its
purpose is to make absolutely sure
that in every district where negroes
are in the majority a republican
will be declared elected to con
gress.
This would absolutely annul the
elective franchise, and perpetuate
in power the party whose minions
are. appointed supervisors of elec
tions. Else, there would be riots,
continuous political excitement and
bloodshed.
White people will not submit to
negro rule by such vile force, and
the republicans may as well recog
nize the fact now.
Northern democrats as well as
Southern condemn the measure m
emphatic terms, and the rights of
the states to conduct their own
elections as they see fit, under the
constitution, has been eloquently,
forcibly argued. In line with these
statesmen, theJSouthem republi
cans stand firmly, but Speaker
Reed and Lodge are applying the
caucus gag with all the power they
can muster.
On Monday the republican stal-
wa$s were startled by the intro
duction by Lehlbach, a republican
of New Jersey, of an amendment
striking out the clause providing
for supervisors only when peti
tioned for by 100 voters in a dis
trict. • In lieu of this his amend
ment proposed to apply the law
straightont to every national elec
tion in every county and congres
sional district in the United States.
This did not suit Reed and his
minions, but the amendment would
have been incorporated in the bill
had not the speaker applied the
parliamentary gag vigorously, and
prevented a vote that day. Tues
day the amendment came up for
action, bnt the result is not known
here.
Harrison has deolared his desire
that, the bill become a law, and
Blaine haslannounced his opposi
tion. Blaine has much influence
with the Senate, and the; demo
crats and other opponents of the
bill hope that that conservative
body of statesmen will reject the
infamous measure, should it re.
ceive the sanction of the House.
Such a law would be a * severe
blow to the industrial progress of
the South, as well as to political
freedom and justice.
The democrats within themselves
are powerless to prevent the in
iquitous infliction.

Another Meeting Requested.
"We, the members of the Center
ville Alliance, and others, respect
fully request the chairman of the
democatic executive committee to
call another meeting of the execu
tive committee, for the following
reasons: The county went largely
for Hardeman, and at the last
meeting one-half of the delegates
elected were Northen men, and the
voters of Houston are not satisfied
with the acts and doings of the ex
ecutive committee at its last meet
ing. " They desire that none but
original Hardeman men be sent,
and they furthermore; think that
the Northen men did a great wrong
in allowing themselves to be elect
ed as “Hardeman delegates,” as it
is currently reported that the
Northen men elected as delegates
now openly declare that they are”
only instructed to vote for Harde
man “one time,” and that after
voting for him that one time, they
then are at liberty to vote for whom
they please. The Hardeman men
think that after giving Hardeman
such a heavy majority, that it is
an outrage to send original North
en men as delegates, who now
boldly assert, as we are informed,,
that they intend to prove recreant
to the trust confided to them by
the vote of Houston, and we do
not think.that the democracy of
Houston should be treated in such
a manner. We therefore pray the
chairman ta'call the executive com
mittee together at once, and have
only original Hardeman men elect
ed as delegates.

of good dinners (as was the cus
tom of the Grange) was a nice
thing, but beyond this their organ
ization amounts to nothing.
Their purpose and idea of com
bining for their good is impossible.
The alliancemen of the northwest
combine to raise the price, of
grain and meat, and of the south
to reduce it. A man who buys
corn cannot combine with men
who sell it. In fact, no class of
people can combine, except possi
bly large _ manufacturing interests,
and in these combinations the
smaller are destroyed by the larger.
I have known lawyers and doc
tors to combine, organize connty
and state associations to fix fees,
but they soon fell to pieces and
each lawyer and doctor had to look
to his own interests. So it will be
with the farmers, and all the com
bining they can do will not fix the
price of their commodities or the
cost of raising the same; but the
law of supply aud demand will
ever control, in the future as in the
past
It is true that farmers, in
and out of the alliance, by boycot
ting, did reduce the price of bag
ging, bnt this was done at consid
erable cost to themselves, audpve
now hear of no well organized plan
to continue the war on this monop
oly.
So, there having been nothing
done and nothing to do, they raise
a cry against unjust laws andGaim
that people in other vocations are
responsible for their condition, and
they now propose by legislation to
fight their wrongs. But what leg
islation do they suggest? and can
any man say that any law desired
by the farmers, for the last fifty
years, has not been passed by our
legislature? And, speaking for
the State of Georgia, we say that
the law making power of the Stat*
has been in the hands of the farm
ers for a long number of years, and
there has seldom been a time when
they could not have passed any
laws, even over the veto of the
Governor. So, if-in the next elec
tion an allianceman is made Gov
ernor, and every member of the
Legislature a member of that or
der, what law will you pass that
will particularly benefit you? You
may say that you will put down
monopolies, but how? You say
you will regulate the railroads.
You hqve the Railroad Commis
sion. You will reduce taxes. This
you might have done by the sale
of the State road, but yon pre
ferred to lease this property and
apply the rental to.the education
al fund, a large portion of which
is paid out to ignorant negro teach
ers, who by their vicious teachings
fill the jails and penitentiaries
with criminals. All this done by
the vote of farmers.
You say that you elect good men
to office. We think our governor.
State house officers, members of
the legislature and our county of
ficers selected under the old demo
cratic rule from all classes of the
people, have been acceptable,
faithful public servants, and have
mostly been farmers. This, Hous
ton county, being purely an agri
cultural county, most of the county
officers have been selected from
the farmers^ and it is very ques-,
tionable in our mind whether
not they have not been injured by
holding the offices conferred, for
on leavi^fe their farms they soon
get into 'town habits, spend all
they make, and, if perckdnce, any.
one of them should, by economy
accumulate any property, he
immediately turned out for getting
too rich. Onr observation teaches
us that most men are injured by
holding counties offices. If they
live well they die poor.
But the.se are small matters in
comparison with the one great dan
ger that threatens ns by the prac
tical working of the alliance. We
notice a meeting called in Atlanta
to be addressed by that “great
apostle” of the farmers, Gol. Liv
ingston, tp which tfte farmers and
workingmen are specially invited
to attend. Who are the working
men where cotton is raised? The
negfoes. How ORB the farmers fine]
working men combine? Let us
that are engaged in farming and
whose interests are bound up ip
lands, mules and negro labor say
beware! beware!! beware!!!
With the present contemplated

be no division in our ranks for
any cause or reason. Our only
hope is in the Democratic party.

[We are inclined to the opinion
that “Houston” takes a one-sided
view of the Earmers’ Alliance, as

been made, but critics should re

Alliancemen would do well
consider carefully, and without an

“Houston” is wrong, and correct
the errors committed, if he
