This week the Exposition lias
been on a boom. Large num¬
bers of distinguished persons
and many others from Chicago
and other localities have attend¬
ed. Now the Georgians are be¬
ginning to go ia companies from
every section of the State. What
at first seemed a failure is now
developing into a grand success.
Every one who attends reports,
“The biggest show ever in the
South. > >
I 11 different towns in the Uni¬
ted States the people are hold¬
ing meetings,sympathizing with
Cuba. It appears that a strong
feeling is manifested in this
country for the liberation of that
island from the oppression of
Spain. Recruits are being or¬
ganized in New York, New Jer¬
sey and Chicago to soon embark
for the battle scenes, and to as¬
sist the insurgents in their strug¬
gle far independence. The strong
expressions of the people in this
country will likely force the gov¬
ernment to recognize the belig
ernnt rights of the Cubans.
The legislature has been hard
at work since the body convened.
Many important bills have been
introduced and some have pass¬
ed. The all absorbing question
is the discussion of the temper¬
ance movement, embodied in
tho Bush, or anti-barroom, bill.
There is strong opposition to its
pass Ago by many of the best peo¬
ple in Georgia, who favor local
option. They think that as the
larger portion of the State has
the local option by the express
will of the people, it is nothing
but fair that the temperance peo
ple should give the other coun¬
ties the same opportunity. There
is such an overwhelming senti¬
ment favoring local option that
it is argued the time is not far
distant when the entire State
will hv vote expel whisky selling
from its territory.
The Putnam Herald in com¬
menting upon flic low prices giv¬
en for lands on livst Tuesday’s
sales in Eatonton. traces the
cause to the financial policy o'
the government and the want of
he free coinage of silver at 1(5 to
1. This is what we understand
by the position taken. We wish
to say that if this he true, lands
would be equally low priced
throughout our country, for,
surely, Cleveland’s policy does
not operate against Putnam
lands and in favor of other por¬
tions of Georgia. On the first
Tuesday,in Rockdale, lands sold
before tlie court house door in
Conyers brought from six to four
teen dollars per acre, improve¬
ments and situation somewhat
governing the price. The Gwin¬
nett Herald says that lands sold
well in that county.

Don’t Blame Cleveland,
-
We would suggest to those of
our contemporaries who try to
saddle the responsibility of the
recent Democratic defeat upon
President Cleveland, that they
forget the history of the Demo
cratic party during its occupau
cy and control of the govern¬
ment. We assert that it is the
party, and not Cleveland, to
blame for the recent Waterloo
defeat. We well remember how
a Democratic House and Senate
fail to do what the people clam¬
ored for, and how many, all ov¬
er the country, predicted the
ousting of the party when the
next election should occur. We
remember,too, that v bile Cleve¬
land had liia fixed idea as to the
financial policy of the govern¬
ment, there was no attack
made upon him, except crifci
occasionally from some of
tho leading journals, until con¬
gress adjourned without doing
anything looking to the relief of
the country. Then the whole
work was upon Cleveland’s
shoulders, and he did what he
conscientiously thought for the
best. Now he is condemned foi
everytt ing that goes wrong: or
is thought to he wrong. Now,
gentlemen, the Democratic par¬
ty is responsible for the reverses
upon us; not only t.he great
statesmen, but every petty pol¬
itician seeking his own prefer¬
ment and agitating the minds
of the people throughout the
country, exciting them to fever
