ThelClkfttvmask Bemads art Alarm— L«»k Out Votars! Being reliably informed that it is the policy of the Republican paity to notify all their voters % few days before the election, to be held on the 6th day of November, for Pres¬ ident and Vioe-Preeident of the United States, and member of Con¬ gress for this District, to turn out en masse and vote for the Republi¬ can nominees, thus, if possible, to surprise the Democratic party. 1 hereby appeal to every demo¬ cratic voter in the 6th Congression¬ al Distriot, to turn out on the 6th day of November and cast his bal¬ lot for the Democratic nominees. * The remembrance of Republican rule in Georgia should be a suffici¬ ent incentive to stimulate every Democrat to labor earnestly to see that the Republican party is not again restored to power.. Resp’tfully, Jf. D.Dismuke, Ch. fix. Com. 6th Con. district. Our $Text Legislature Th# farmer* of the State usually make up a Urge portion of the mamherahip of the Georgia Legis¬ lature. The next session 'on ex¬ amination of tit* list of members, verified at tha Department of Agri¬ culture, ahowsi the number of far¬ mer* in both houses, 183. Of this number the Senate has seventeen and the House 116. Out of 219 membara af the General Assembly this makes a strong representation of the agricultural interest. If there is any legislation desired or necessary for the welfare of the far¬ ming interest it will he the fault of the farmers themselves if it is not secured. The next largest representation In the Legislature is the lawyers, of course. The only wonder is that it ia not the largest, In both branches there are 74 lawyers, fourteen of these are in the Senate and sixty in the House. The re¬ mainder of ths list shows a sprink¬ ling of doctors,preachers, merchants dentist and capitalists. All the in¬ terests of the great State seem to be fairly represented, and the people of the State will have good cause 4,0 complain if the woik of the ses¬ sion is not up to a high mark. In the United States senate, on Tuesday, 17th, Mr. Gray, of Dela¬ ware, presented a petition of five hundred manufacturers and wage earners of Connecticut, asking con¬ gress to pass the Mills tariff bill. We are informed that a member of the democratic executive com¬ mittee of Rockdale county voted the independent ticket at the last election. If so, the gentleman ought to resign his trust. No Democrat who is entitled to vote should neglect to go to the polls on the 6th day of November. It is a duty they owe theniuolvs and their country to vote for Cleveland and Thurman, The south should poll a full vote in the coming election. Mr. John L. Sullivan is about to * his duties sporting enter upon as editor of a New York paper, and it is announced that for the present he will have a private secretary, who will do the writing. Mr. Sul¬ livan’s duties are not defined, but it is presumed the principal one will be to protect the secetary. ■—t' ‘l The democrats of this congress¬ ional district are clearly warned to be neither idle or inactive Indif¬ ference in such a matter as voting, when danger lurks there, may canse deep regret if not intense mortifica¬ tion.
