The Man and the Platform.
The annual Holiness camp meet
ing is in progress at Indian Springs.
The votes-of all the democrats ag
gregate enough to elect Bryan and
Stevenson.

The next convention of the Geor
gia Weekly Press Association,
July, 1901, will be at Athens.
McKinley and Roosevelt cannot
be elected without the votes of men
who call themselves democrats.
The critics of Mr. Bryan, or the
Kansas City Platform, are assistant
republicans in effect, if not in name
Large salaries go to men who
have earned reputation that will be
valuable to the business they are to
manage.
As chairman of the board of di
rectors of the Central of Georgia
Railway Co., Maj. J. F. Hanson will
receive a salary of $10,000 per an
num.
On August 8th Messrs. Bryan and
Stevenson will be officially notified,
at Indianapolis, Ind., that they are
the democratic nominees for presi
dent and vice president.
Determination not to buy any
thing that can be grown on the
farm, will be worth more to the
farmer than all the agricultural or
ganizations in Christendom.
The farmer who sells more than
he buys—avoids going in debt for
“supplies” to make the crop—is
worth more to his business than the
best organization ever perfected.
Tax digests from eleven Georgia
counties had been received by
Comptroller Wright last Saturday.
Of these, ten showed an increase in
property valuation aggregating near
ly half a million dollars.
Another term of republican con
trol at Washington will place this
country completely in the power of
commercial trusts and national
banks, with the form of government
changed to imperialism.
Hon. W. E. Steed was nominated
on July 11th ;by the democrats of
Taylor county representative of that
county in the Georgia legislature.
His majority over his opponent,
Hon. J. J. McUants, was 173.
It *is estimated that $2,000,000
was expended for the fireworks con
sumed in the United States on July.
4th. All this was devoted to noise
and smoke, with more attendant dis
comfort and injury than pleasure.
Bryan is criticised because of his
strength, in that it is said his wishes
dominated the democratic conven
tion. Certainly a man'who can con
trol the party is better for president
than a man who is continually influ
enced by the party leaders.
A printing plant to cost $10,000
will be established in Atlanta by the
'l Louisville Courier-Journal Co., if the
Georgia state printing contract is
awarded that company. During the
last five years the state printing of
Georgia has averaged $75,000 a
year.
It is Baid transportation compa
nies will charge .extra freight on
cotton bales of irregular size, and it
is advised that farmers see that
their cotton is packed this season in
standard size bales. The press boxes
can be changed without much trou
ble or expense.
- Several southern cotton -mills,
some of them in Georgia, have been
hurtfully affected hy the war in Chi
na, much of their product having
heretofore been sold for export to
that .country. The war has caused
the - discontinuance of commercial
orders from China.
Politicians throughout the coun
try, who are anxious to do injury to
the democratic party in this nation-
al campaign, have been zealous in
declaring that the platform adopted
at Kansas City was practically dic
tated by Hon. W. J. Bryan, the
nominee for president. The purpose
of this is to belittle the work of the
representatives of the party in the
convention and to exaggerate the
influence of the candidate.
Following this is the declaration i
that at present the democratic parly
is dominated by one man, that the
tendency is away from the people
and directly toward one-man power.
How far it may be true as indi
cating the strength of the candidate
of the party we are not prepared to
say, but we are prepared to say on
good authority that it is not true
that Mr. Bryan in any way dictated
the platform, further than that the
makers of that document knew the
views of the man the people de
manded the convention should nom
inate, and recognized those views as
wise and correct.
Hon. Louis F. Garrard, a Georgia
delegate to the convention; and a
member of the platform committee,
says positively that Mr. Bryan made
no effort whatever to exert anj in
fluence concerning the platform, and
that the declaration is untrue that
Mr. Bryan said he would decline the
nomination if the platform failed to
declare specifically for free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1.
It may be true that the man nom
inated for president is stronger than
the platform. .If so, the party is to
be congratulated, and the chances
of success are greatly enhanced
thereby.
The platform is the creature of
man, and it is certainly desirable
that the man who is to uphold and
execute the principles and promises
of the platform should at least be
strong enough to perform the duty
without fear or favor.
It is certainly preferable that a
president should lead the party than
that the party bosses should lead
the president, as is now being done
to the discredit of the nation.
That Mr. Bryan is greater than
his party we are not prepared to say,
but that he is as strong as any plat
form could be, and eminently strong
er and better than all the men who
seek to discredit his statesmanship
or his honesty, we assert positively
without fear of successful contradic
tion.

Major General McArthur has
sent from Manila a strong protest
against withdrawing any troops at
all from the Philippines for service
in China, and, instead, has asked for
reinforcements. He has urgently
represented to Secretary Root that
under the system of garrisons adopt
ed it is impossible to redistribute
his force when regiments are with
drawn so as to properly patrol the
district from which they have been
takeD. Secretary Root thoroughly
appreciates Gen. McArthur’s views,
but the urgency of the situation in
China is such that he is compelled
to detach regiments from the Phil
ippines and send them to Taku
Through reports and private letters
reaching the officials here, it is be
coming manifest that tile suppres
sion of the Filipino insurrection is a
work of years. This certainly is the
opinion of almost every army officer
in the Philippines.—Our Washing
ton Correspondence.
Even though the so-called gold
standard democrats regard free
coinage of silver as a great evil to
be avoided, Mr. Bryan knows the
evil to come with continued repub
lican control is very much greater,
and says: “When the test comes, I
believe that those who adhere to the
doctrine that governments derive
their just powers not from superior
forces,,but from the consent of the
governed, will support our ticket
even though they do not endorse
the free silver plank. A large ma
jority of the democrats believe that
a restoration of bimetallism would
prove a blessing, but the anti-impe
rialists who -dispute this will admit
that any evil that might arise from
bimetallism could be corrected more
easily than the evils which would
fellow from the deliberate indorse
ment of militarism and imperialism.”
The battlefields reunion at Atlan
ta last week was one of the biggest,
most far-reaching occasions of the
kind ever known in Georgia. Lead
ers and fighters of Federal and Con
federate armies were honored guests,
and the patriotism of to-day smooth
ed over the antagonism of the sixties.
It is reported that lightning struck
the Standard Oil Co’s, works in New
Jersey recently, destroying build

of $2,500,000. Though the fire of
Heaven is directed against this 'gi
gantic monopoly, tiie loss will lie re
couped by .an increase in the price
of oil.
• On the 15th of September next
there will.be an election in Cuba for
delegates to a convention, to be call
ed for the purpose of framing a con
stitution for, an independent govern
ment of Cuba. The U. S. troops on
the island have been reduced to 5,-
000, and more will be withdrawn
ftfter tiie election. -
There is some improvement in the
situation in China. It has been re
ported that Minister Conger and
other foreign officials were alive oh
the 18th. The Chinese government
has protested that the trouble was
not sanctioned by the government,
but that every effort possible was
used to suppress the insurrection.
The good offices of the United
States is asked for to procure peace
with the powers. Nevertheless, the
foreign powers are determined to
relieve the situation according to
their best judgment.
The newspapers that continually
publish comments intended to be
hurtful to the national democratic
party, have no right to proclaim
themselves democrats. Such a “dem
ocrat” is comparable to|.the Houston
militiaman who failed continually to
keep step with his company. In re
sponse to the repeated order of the
captain, “Catch step, Mr.B,” he re
plied: . “I dang it, Cap’n, I’m right;
all the others are wrong.”
