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 leml mm Georgia, Rockdale County.—'T o Alt Whom It May Concern: T. G.
