The fact that Rockdale went
republican by ten majority is
not consoling to dyed-in-the
wool democrats.
Not a great deal has been
heard of Mr. Watson since the
election.
Those populists who remaine
away from the polls last Tuesp
dav did so because they could
not endorse republicanism,
They are good democrats and
we believe they will come back
to the party.
As usual the Atlanta Consti
tution was faithful to its patrons
and gave the lesult of the elec
tiou throughout the union in
twelve hours after the polls
closed. The Constitution is a
great newspaper.
---------
Out of the 4-83 sound money
voters in Rockdale we ought to
get a few more subscribers.—
Banner. These sound money
voters are all of the Boss Buck
stripe, and if the Banner will
render a statement of its servi
< ;s i.o the aforesaid Boss, per¬
haps he would subscribe liberal
iy
After running the Bryan tick¬
et on its ed'torio 1 page for months
it is rather funny to find the
fo "owing paragraph in the cur
re. t issue of the Banner:
“Rockdale is still Democratic
or rather it would be on a de¬
cent Democratic platform.”
We may suggest that the a
bove paragraph truly portrays
fcheattitudeof the Bannerin the
national campaign. In behalf
of the party, we take the liber¬
ty to thank the Banner for its
a-dent support, editorially and
at the ballot box, of the Bryan
t : cket.
Rockdale went Democratic in
(hecounty election by a hind
some Helms, majority. Judge A. M.
a believer in sound mon¬
ey, receiving bis a majority of 364
over opponent. She wont
republican last Tuesday iu the
National election. Why?—
Rockdale Banner.
The answer is obvious. Mr.
Helms was the nominee of the
democratic party of the county
and as such received the loyal
support of free silver democrats
Je .aidless of his sound money
views. So likewise was Mr.
B yaa a democ atic nominee
and was defeated ia this county
byce ,a : n well known, so-call¬
ed democrat* who didn’t abide
the nomination. We may also
rec. d just now ‘that the Banne:
diun t advocate bolting, as its
files wet show, just previous to
the Chicago convention.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Ttie Senatorship.
Only a few more days and
the Legislature will begin the
official act of making a United
States Senator to serve* the peo
pie of Georgia for six years.
These state representatives
of the people should act as near
|y as i8 possible in accord with
the will of the people and then
they will have unquestionably
served the best interest of them
state and party.
Should they do this there is
every reason to believe that
<j ov , Atkinson will withdraw
f rom the race in a very short
time and that some other of the
able aspirants for the place will
be chosen,
Georgia is in no condition to
engage in another gubernato
liai election at this time and in
order to relieve the people even
0 f the possibility of such a po
Htioal calamity Gov. Atkinson
should immediately withdraw
f r0 m the race. Should he per

to dub him a political grab-all
at the sacrifice of the best lnter

He has been twice honored

majority renders most consni ■

The negroes were thoroughly

Only about fifty populists vo¬

is said they voted straight re¬

of the bad weather.

•The National Election.
The battle of ballots has pass¬
ed and the republicans are in
the full enjoyment of a great
victory'. Win McKinley’s Boss
Hanna calculated well and his
man carried everything before
him and made a grand passage
to the White House.
For the next four years the
republicans will be in full pos¬
session of the government the
complexion of both houses of
congress is safely republican
and they must deal with the
vexing and complicated condi¬
tion of public questions to the
satisfaction of the people. It is
a great task before them •and
will require the best states¬
manship of the party. South¬
ern democracy submits to the
defeat patriotically and with¬
out a murmur and four years
later will again give her un¬
qualified endorsement to some
worthy statesman whose record
bears adherence to sound dem
ocratic principles, honest
government and equal rights.
