Cotton is up, and the silver dis¬
cussion subsides.
Democrats ail right in the 10th;
in fact, they are all right
throughout Georgia.
Only the dailies can now take
time and space to make feeble
attempts to keep up the discus¬
sion on finances.
The Macon 'Telegraph might
no w whisper to the Sparta Ish
maelite concerning that “tidal
wave of prosperity.”
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
issued an Exposition edition on
last Tuesday, which was credit¬
able to Columbus and Editor
Richardson.
The cold wave reported on its
way south last week, was inter¬
cepted and halted, but arrived
< < right side up with care” last
Sunday night.
The burglars began early to
put iu their work at the Exposi¬
tion. The first scoop was from
the Russian exhibit. They car¬
ried away $1,000 worth of goods.
The planters get gold, silver
and greenbacks for their cotton.
This makes everything easy and
all right with them. They’ll take
anything that will pay debts or
buy clothing for wife and babies.
The Exposition continues.
The Atlanta papers report satis
factory receipts for the days
since the 18th of September.
Everything will soon have on
the finishing touch, wneu the
big show will be in full blast.
The Tribune and Hustler ot
Rome have been making the at¬
mosphere blue in the Hill City,
by expressing their opinion of
each other in no very mild nor
uncertain language. However,
everything now appears settled.
The Atlanta Journal has
purchased a new press which
cost $15,000. It is a wonderful
machine. It prints, cuts, pastes,
folds and counts 18,000 papers
an hour. The Journal is one of
the best equipped papers in the
South.
The subject of recognizing Cu¬
ba by the United States as a bel¬
ligerent is now being very gen¬
erally discussed by the papers.
It seems, as Cuba is struggling
for independence as did this gov¬
ernment in 1770 to 1783, she
should be recognized.
The organization of the Irish
iu Chicago, to free Ireland at all
hazards, does not meet the ap
probation of the Irish in Geor¬
gia. All Irish, everywhere, want
to see their old country free, but
do not thiuk it wise to resort to
force of arms.
The Democrats in the 10th
are again triumphant. Col.
Black is elected by over 1600
majority, Watson’s majority
in some of the Populist counties
was reduced. Richmond and
Hancock gave Black handsome
majorities, overcoming the Pop¬
ulist vote iu the other counties.
We hope the matter is now set¬
tled
