DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Georgia Gives the Democratic
Nominees a Large Majority.
THE POPULIST PARTY IS DEAD
Oftndler Will be the Next Governor
of Georgia, and the Democratic
Party Will Have an Increased
Majority in Legislature.
Georgia is Democratic by a large
majority.
The glorious old Democratic flag will
continue to float over the grand old
Empire State.
Populism has been buried deep, and
will never again raise its head in this
State.
The election last Wednesday was a
most glorious victory for Democracy.,
Twenty-twocounties which had hitherto
belonged to the Populist party,have come
back into the Democratic lold. Ihe
largest votes comparatively were polled
outside of the larger cities. In Ma
con and Savannah, for instance, the
vote was very behind that of 1896,
It had been conceded from the open-
ng of the campaign that Democracy
was to have a great victory. There
was very little if any enthusiasm
f.mong the Populist from the first.
Hon. J. R. Hogan, the nominee for
Governor, made speeches in all parts
of the State, but he failed to draw hi 6
party out to any great extent. Not
only is the entire State ticket elected,
but the Democratic majority in the
House will be increased, as many of
the counties, which have been repre
sented by Populist the past two years,
l ave elected Democrats.
Twenty-one counties carried by the
Populists in 1896 are today hack in
the Democrotic column and in the
rate ot Georgia only eight counties
•how majorities for Hon. J. R. Hogan
or governor.
The Populists will not have more
than a dozen members of the house o
COL. CANDLER ON THE RESULT.
Hon. Alien D. Candler was at the
Democratic headquarters in Atlanta
Wednesday night, to receive the re
turns of the election, and when it was
known he was elected by an over
whelming majority, in speaking of the
result lie said:
Ot course, I am very much gratified
at the result, but not surprised. While
I made no thorough canvass of the
state, I was in a few counties in every
quarter, and felt assured that the posi-
tion that I had taken not only in this
mmpaign, but in the preliminary cam
paign for nomination in favor of clean
methods 'and honest politics, met the
approval of an overwhelming majority
of the best people in the state. It is a
source of gratification to me to be able
to say sincerely that no words were ut
tered by me or my friends during the
campaign that I would retract, and we
have done nothing that we desire to,
undo. The campaign was pitched on
a high plane and fought out on a high
plane without descending to the disrep
utable methods which have character
ized our opponents. In many of the
counties the effort of fusion between
the Populists and the negro republi
cans not only in the eleventh senato
rial district, but in a number of coun-
ties in other parts of the state, was
known to me six weeks ago and it has
been the effort of myself and my
lriends, in a quiet way, to counteract
these efforts at fusion. In my own
county over 90 per cent of the colored
votes were east against me because in
that county was the fusion ticket—Pop
ulist and Republicans. This was the
case in quite a number of other coun
ties.
“It is gratifying to know that the
best element in the Populist party in
Georgia have returned to the Demo
cratic standard. There are in the
state, as I have repeatedly said on the
stump, many thousands misled by the
aspiring leaders of the Populist party,
but who are at heart and always have
Come under the next special order of bus
iness, as well as pleasure, and I have made
it a special order of my business to present tjo
my Customers this season the largest assort
ment of goods in that line it has ever been
my pleasure to handle. Those who have to

esting to visit mv establishment.

been (rue Democrats. To all of whom
the Democrats of Georgia extend a
hearty welcome hack into the fold ot
the Democratic parsy, and for myself,
I can say that I fully appreciate the
support they have given me. It is ap
parent to all readers of the newspapers
that some of the intelligent and pa
triotic leaders ot the Third party move
ment abandoned the fight as soon as
the effort at fusion with the Republi
can party became apparent, and these
leaders have not been heard from in
the campaign which has just closed.
“I think it may he safely assumed
that this campaign ends the Populist
party in Georgia, because the honest
men who have alligned themselves
with this party for ihe last three cam
paigns now see as some of them have
always seen, that the Democratic party
is in truth, and, indeed, the only peo
ple’s party that ever has or ever can
exist in this'repuhlic. If the evils of
which they have justly complained can
not be corrected through the Demo
cratic party they cannot be corrected
at all.
“I will endeavor to show my appre
ciation ot these generous expressions
of the people ot Georgia by giving
them as good an administration as it is
in my power to direct. I am over
whelmed wstli a deep sense of appre
ciation at this generous manifestation
of their confidence. I will endeavor to
show them that it is not misplaced.”

THE NICARAGUAN CANAL.
The Oregon and Iowa have started
on their long journey from New York
to Manila. It will take them about
sixty days to reach the Philippine cap
ital. If the Nicaraguan Canal were
open they could make the trip in half
the time. Here, then, we have an ob
ject lesson, calling for the construction
ot the canal. It is not only a commer
cial necessity but at the same time it is
ot great naval strategic value. It is
more than likely that Congress will, at
its next session settle upon some defi
nite plun, relative to the Nicaraguan
canal.
In the matter of the probable cost of
the building of the Nicaraguan canal,
the authorities differ very widely.
When the canal company asked the
government to guarantee its bonds, it
estimated that the work would cost
$70,000,000. Engineer Menocal cal
culated that the cost would he $65.-
000,000. President Cleveland’s Lud
low commission placed the cost at
$133,000,000. Admiral Walker esti
mated that the cost would he $125,-
000,000. The Wheeler commission,
which has just made an investigation,
places its figures at “less than $100,-
000,000.
THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
While the United States is in the
business of grabbing colonial posses
sions, she will no doubt take a slice of
Samoa. Samoa is a group of tropical
islands in the South Pacific. Their
possession is no great thing to be de
sired, hut nevertheless three nations
are already in unofficial occupation
At a conference at Berlin, in 1889,
Germany, Great Britain and the
United States became parties to an
agreement guaranteeing the neutrality
ot the islands, under Malietoa Laupepa,
a native ruler. He has died and in
order to preserve peace on the islands,
it may become necessary for the tripar
tite powers to 6tep in and carve, out
three portions, and divide up the
group among themselves. The trade
of the islands is largely in German and
British hands Athens Banner.

The increasing disregard of Sabi.atli
observance in our larger towns and
cities, the encroachment of the liquor
traffic and the growing power of wealth
in social life and in legislation are sub
jects of alarm to elderly people who
have the interests of humanity and re
ligion at heart. While the world as a
whole is advancing in civilization and
enlightenment and heathen nations,
through commerce and the efforts of
missioneries, are learning to put aside
their idols and assume gradually the
customs and manners of civilized peo- r
pies, there are many things in our own
and other Christian lands in which
progress is being made in the wrong
direction. There is not that high re
gard tor sacred things that once exis
ted. Christian people are less strict
in the observance of holy days and sa
cred duties than a generation ago. Cus
toms now so common as to scarcely be
noticed would then have been shocking.
The daily accidents and frequent out
rages and even murders due, di
rectly or indirectly, to the saloon have
come to he regarded as matters ol
course, to he deplored certainly, hut
impossible of remedy. The oppression
of monopolies and syndicates upon the
people and especially upon those in
their employ, reminds one of the Bible
expression, “Grinding the faces ol the
poor.” Once there was a remedy
when an employee felt himself aggriev
ed by too low wages or too hard work,
he could find employment elsewhere
where conditions were more favorable.
Now this is impossible, he must work
at what he can find to do and at such
wages as his employer sees fit to pay.
Greed and avarice control labor and
too often they do so with a cruel hand,
and our laws do not prevent the wrong. |
They are not seldom made to favor the j
powerful rather than protect the weak.
These things and many more have
not escaped the notice of the Judge
of all the earth, with whom all na
tions as well as individuals have
to do. He has declared that a time is
coming when all wrongs will he set
right, when sins national as individual
must he recompensed. Ills pronhets

“The day of vengeance is in my
heart.”
These thoughts have been started
by a hook that has recently come to-
our hands, entitled, “The Day of Vec.- ■
g“unce,” by Chas. T. Russell, in which .
the writer quotes the prophecies bear
ing on the subject and cites numerous
facts in current history and copies froeo -
the writings of numerous statesmen,...
historians and others, to prove that
this notable duy is even now upon u»_.
His facts and reasoning upon them arc
exceedingly interesting and will be
convincing to thousands of his reatlers.-.
Whether he is correct or not in his be
lief’as to the presence of the dreaded'
time, so often predicted, it is certainly
true that it is a time when all people
should unite in putting forth all effort*
in their power to stay the tide of worid-
liness, irreligion and lawlessness that is-
gaining such headway in our land. It
is not a time for lethargy and inaction. .

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
“When you are sick, what you like
best is to he chosen for a medicine in
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason (i. e., Theory) says
is best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr.
Experience and Dr. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they wiil give
you the best advice that can be taken.”
When you have a had cold Dr. In
clination would recommend Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant und safe to take. Dr. Expe
rience would recommend it because it
never fails to effect a speedy and per
manent cure. Dr. Reason would rec
ommend it'because it is prepared on
scientific principles, and acts on
nature’s plan in relieving the lungs,
| opening the secretions and restoring
the system to a natural and healthy
condition. For sale by Geos D. Case.
