It is ruraoted that Major Hanson
will rebuy the Macon Telegraph
and put Col- Lamar and Mr. Ed¬
wards at the helm again.
■ Between Blaine and Sherman we
prefer to see Blaine nominated as
he will prove a less jormidable op¬
ponent than Sherman. Cleveland
vs Sherman would make the party
whips ring.
The Atlanta Constitution’s sen
timents are : ‘T care not what oth¬
er’s may think, but, as for me, give
me free whisky, or give me death.
So criticises the Columbus Sun.
The Senate has passed the Blair
bill again. The house has never
passed it, and the prospect that the
present house will pass if’ is not
very promising.
Mr. Sidney Lewis, editor of the
Sparta Ishmaelite, has been ap¬
pointed by Senator Colquitt as his
private secretary. We hope this
will not necessitate his retirement
from journalism. He cannot be
spared from his work.
The guano factory and oil mill
at Americus are running night and
day, and then it is all they can do
to fill the orders which come in.
Forty hands are now employed,
and more wanted. The weekly pay
roll amounts to over $300.
The Georgia railroad stock is
sky high and $220 is freely bid for
it. At the directors’ meeting Tues¬
day, in addition to the usual divi¬
dend, an extra 1 per cent dividend
was declared, making it a giltedged
guaranteed 11 per cent stock.
Several prominent republicans of
Atlanta are considering the advisa
bility of inviting Senator Sherman,
Ingalls, or Edmunds to come to
Atlanta, at the adjournment of con¬
gress, to deliver a political speech,
bearing on the next presidential
campaign.
The remains of a huge animal
have been discovered near Cisco,
Texas. The head is five feet long
and threee feet between the eyes.
The horns are six feet long and one
of the teeth weighs sixteen pounds.
It was probably the remains of a
deserting blind-tiger-man from a
prohibition town.
The sentiment of the Georgia
press is overwhelmingly in favor of
a reduction of the tariff on the nec¬
essaries of life. The Atlanta Jour¬
nal recently sent to the editor of
every weekly paper in the state a
letter in which the question was
nsk$d : “If both cannot be secured,
which would you prefer, reduction
of tariff en the necessaries of life,
or repeal of the internal revenue
tax on whisky and tobacco?’ Of
the sixty-four answers received, fif¬
ty-six favored the first proposition
and eight the last named. There
are only two or three daily papers
in the state that are clamoring for
the repeal of the whisky tax. Mr.
Blaine and Mr. Randall have not
much of a following in Georgia.
The brilliant and gifted Henry
Watterson echoes the sentiments of
the democracy of the land when he
says: “The democratic party has
acquired new life. It is now the
party of movement. It has come
back and come back to stay. It
is the only national party whore
patriotism is not geographical or
mercenary. It is the only party
that has the courage of its opinion
and is led by a chieftain who has
both integrity and courage. It is
the party of the constitution. It
is the party of the people. In short,
the sole hope of good, popular gov¬
ernment now rests upon the re-elec¬
tion of Cleveland and is in the
hands of the democratic party.
