SATURDAY, JULY 29. IW2.
The Citizen holds up its side of the
senatorial question with phi ky vigor.
The Greenback Cause, a sprightly ad
vocate of the new party, recently started
in Atlanta, supports Gartrell for Gov
ernor.
Cot. Thornton is decidedly too pro
miscuous for a successful organizer; hut
as an excessive “lilieral” he is certainly
a jewel.
Come into my parlor said the spider to
the fly. It remains to he observed how
the application of thia line will fit when
Alex Stephens gets to Ire governor.
Whenever the honesty, integrity and
ability of Dr. Felton falls below that of
any other man in the seventh district,
then will we turn our back upon him,
forever.
The state democratic platform in a
neat, but vague way, makes a charming
bow to the independents. We return
the salute ; lait we’ll sec yon later. This
is hot the season for suckora.
In IRS 4 a new democracy will step
into the primaries and knock all of the
trades of the late convention into a
cocked bat. The hoys are getting their
nerve tip.
Senator Brown made a speech against
the proposition to reduce the tariff on su
gar, sa it wmdd remove protection from
one of the few interests in the South, fos
tered under the present system.
Wk have no fight now, to make against
Gov. Colquitt’s going to the U. 8. Senate,
but in the language of the gentleman
from Bibb, we “protest” against his
fanning out all the offices in the state to
that end.
Thk editor of the Atlanta Constitution
has been deputised to “tote Mr. Ste
phen’s skillet,” in the coming campaign.
Editor Howell, it will be remembered is
an original “skillet tutor,” and it will
probably not ruffle I. is conciencc to carry
the emblem of Georgia independent ism.
Dr. Felton in his lew year’s service
in Congress had attained a membership
in the most important committee of the
house—the committee of ways and
means; but the old seventh has lost her
prestige in two short years of his ab
scence.
Both Stephens and Gartrell arc men
worthy of the highest confidence; but
Georgia wants a governor just now that
can look in over the transoms occasion
ally. There is nothing like spryneas in
a boss. From this standpoint we nat
urally look upon Gartrell as the beat
man.
The Texas Riftings says that Gen.
Weaver, the Greenback ajmstle, has
l>een worrying the Texas demociatic mo
guls. He has l<een handling them as a
healthy terrier would a sick rat. This
is bad on the fellows who wanted Wea
ver to make a joint canvnss with them
just to amuse the jieople.
It is said that all the candidates for
the state senate and lower house of the
Georgia legislature, this year, have a
longing eye on the respective chairman
ships. They take this as a nigh cut to
the executive mansion; but they forget
that Stephens, if be gets there, has the
longevity of a Georgia mule.
We pitch a good word te the breeze for
gallant Tom Hardeman for congress
man-at-large. One of the best felloes
the state, and with friends in every
pmunity, nothing but his pood nature
J indisposition to scramble for office
«s kept him back. But they could not
■wd him down in the convention last
fk. His friends forced him triumph-
Sto the front over all efforts to the
ary.
Citizen claims that the conven-
-V. last week took the bottom out of the
ndependent movement in Georgia. If
Are take in the classical figuration of our
neighlior, lie is decidedly incorrect in his
surmise's. Mr. Stephens is only an ar
tificial bottom. The real bottom of the
Independent movement is composed of
the horny handed yeomany, warranted
to neither rip, tear, or swag.
The public debt of the U. S. on the
first of July was us follows: Total inter
est bearing. >1,403,810,400; debt on
which interest has eeased, $ 16,200,805 ;
debt bearing no interest; >438, 241, 788
outstanding debt, 11,918,312,994. There
was cash in treasury, >243,289,539, The
monthly in- tereat charge is $4,780,000.
The population of the U. 8. is 62,799,0fti >
and thedebt per capita >31.72; ilieiJNc
tereet per capita is >1.09. By this yon'
can see how much of the burden you
have to bear.
Fully one-half the uegroen of Mont
gomery county, Ala., in a formal conven
tion held recently, declared for tire dem
ocratic state and county ticket.— Savan
nah News,
For the past five years Alabama demo
crate have been dividing the email end
of official patronage with the colored
brother to this end wherever it was nee
ceasary to court his power, in their
Hlrugfth against independentisni. The
same thing will follow in Georgia, in the ;
face of the great fear of africanizing the
alate, whenever bourbonism finds its
grip slackening.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Recklessly Expressed by Various Otwervors of

The fun commences in Atlanta this

gia’s politicians will he shown for all
they are worth. — Albany News.
Tho Atlanta ring has wrung -the neck
of the state democracy. “The young

in Georgia this fall.—Valdosta Times.
We are informed that Dr. Felton is
perfectly delighted with the nomination
of Mr. Stephens and has put in order all
of the latter’s endorsenmnta of the Fir
mer’s political course —Daily Herat 1.
The Arkansaw Traveler’s aged col
ored {icrsonsays: “My idea of de bet

The two worst things that can be said
of Gen. Gartrell is that he is an indepen
dent and that he thirsts for the office of
governor. The same can be said of Mr.
Stephens.—Valdosta Tinies.
When congress adjourns, Emory
Speer will begin his canvass of the Ninth
district for himself ami Mr. Stephens.
Both of them will carry the district over
whelmingly.—Telegraph 4 Messenger.
——
Dr. Felton, up in the seventh, is not
making much firss just at present, but it
wouid not surprise us if he did not give
the organized a good deal of trouble to
defeat him this fall. —Griffin Sun.
A Chicago exchange slurs the Tariff
Commission by prophesying that “it
will investigate the tariff through julip

The Cincinnati Enquirer says the

When was it that Dr. Felten, w ith a
fairly chosen convention and the majori

Nobody is barred from sending in nn
answer.—Atlanta Herald.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal, which was
first for Stephens, ami afterwards fur
Gartrell, for Governor, has taken down
the name of the latter, and again run
up that of Stephens as its candidate
for the time being. We now commend
te it the laconic advice of Sumner to
Stanton —“Stick ’’’—Home Tribune.
It iz reported that Dr. Felten will com
mence producing his Stephens certifi
cates in Cartersville on next Thursday.
Bartow being a Stephens county, the
ccrtific**.tea will have a cheering effect on
tho Independent campaign.—Macon
Telegraph.
The Constitution is vaguely hinting
that it had the honor of suggesting the
nomination of Mr. Stephens. This
bare-faced attempt te rob tho Post-
Appeal of its reputation as the original
Stephens paper will not win with an
intelligent public. The record is made
up and it will stand.—Post Appeal.
The intimation of a comtempoary that
the recent state convention was com
posed of pimps and hirelimn is not a
graceful way of adding to democratic
harmony. Nevertheless, the aforesaid
harmony is strong and solid, and a few
intimations, more or less, will not dis
turb it. —Constitution.

The Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger says: Gov. Colquitt might make
a toleraby good missionary to China,
tail there isn’t a sane man in Georgia
that would enjoy the cruel spectable of
)- 1 Ji trying to fill Ben Hill's seat in the
V Lmute. It would be absolutely inhu
man, even it the stole slxmld consent to
ho absurd an exchange.
We are well pleased with the entire
ticket nominated by our Democratic
State Convention. But we must say
that the resolutions adopted us a plat
form fall below our expectation. It is a
common fault with the Democrats that
they do not make sharp issues with their
«>pponents on well defined policies or
measures. We are for a square contest
between the Democrats and the Federal
administration party (call Republican,
j Libei al, Independent, or what not) in
| Georgia, and w e regret that the platform
did not present the issues in such away
, as to forces fight on that line.—Rome I
Courier.
An exchange says: The young;
men of the South, w ho found themselves
strand at the close of the war—bank
rupt in everything save honor —have
indeed done a heroic work toward build
ing up themselves and their country.
What nation ever recovered from rever
ses more rapidly than the South has
since the war’ Utterly bankrupt, at the
close of the war destitute of even the
necessaries ol life; in debt, and no pros
pect ahead save by hard, earnest, la
borious labor. They went to work like
men, and nobly have they held their
own. The struggle has been a hard one;
how well they have stood up am) bat
tled to push themselves and their coun
try forward, let the facts themselves
answer.
We have been for Tom for governor.
Congressman. Senator, everything hon
orable for years, but the Bourbons have
always held him down. Wo now sail
our hat high in tho air for him. His
nomination wo regard as a vindication of
principle. He was among the first men
we met in the State, and we are proud to
say that his first conversation was pa
triotic, conservative ami honorable.
Just so with the last we had with him,
and just so his big heart throbs to-day.
Hurrah for Tom Hardeman for a high
seat in the National Councils. —Gaines-
ville Southern, Independent.
The new party as described by the
Chicago Times: The new party which
will come as an effective popular po
litical force will be a party with poli
tics in it. It will not come mouth
ing political generalizations, but strik
ing for some very positive, definite
ami distinctly practical proposition
upon some political question the su
preme importance of which the coun
try realizes with a degree of intensi
ty sufficient te awaken popular feel
ing ami transmute it into popular ac
tion.
The Atlanta Herald argues that the
adoption of the majority rule will be the
death-knell te Atlanta rule in the politics
of the state. Should tho rule be adopted
and at any time Augusta, Savannah, Al
bany and Columbus could combine and
divide the offices out to the entire exclu
sion of Atlanta and North Georgia. If
such combination could be made The
Herald is right, and if the rule is adopted
the politicians outside of Atlanta should
see that this result is obtained.—Ex.
A New York correspondent of ,the
Washington Republic having made the
statement that Mr. Tilden would be a
candidate for the next Democratic Presi
dential nomination, the New York Sun
expresses the opinion that the statement
is a mistake. It thinks that whije the
sage of Gramercy Park would make the
strongest, candidate theDeinocracy could
select, he would not be willing to accept
the nomination.
lowa has now determined to go further
in the attempt to prevent men from using
intoxicating drinks than any other civil
ized community has ever undertaken to
go. She has incorporated the principle
in her constitution. No intoxicating
liquors can be made and none can be
sold for drinking purpose in that State
without violating the fundamental law.
Other commonwealths have been con
tent with prohibitory statures; lowa
now has a prohibitory constitution.
A correspondent of the Augusta Even
ing News writes from Atlanta on the
20th: Mr. Stephens to-day presented
Evan Howell, of the Constitution, with
a skillet. The reason assigned was
Howell’s shrewd and able management
of the campaign, and in helping him to
‘‘tote his skillet.” In this act Alec
gracefully acknowledges the ‘‘power be
hind the throne.”
The Virginia state democratic commit
tee have under existing circumstances
decided that it will be inexpedient for
them to nominate a candidate for con
gressman-at-large, either by action of
the committee or by convention, since
the object had in view by the democratic
party could be best attained without
such action. They will support the re
adjuster candidate.
The democratic party of Brown’s
Plantation (formerly known as the State
of Georgia), is divided into two gangs—
the ‘‘straightouts” who can’t help
themselves, and the “half-breeds,” who
are likewise!—Sam Small
t otton along the Mississipi, on the
overflowed lands, is now in full bloom,
and will yield, as estimat'd bv good
judges, a bale to the acre on average.
The ground being enriched by the over
flow, crops have grown on it with won
derful rapidity. .Many of the smaller
farmers in the overflowed districts have
planted little or nothing on account of
loss of stock, and much of the land lies
idle.
Mrs Jack Argo, of Sparta, Tenn.,
while dressing her year-old baby, a few
mornings since, found the point of a
needle protruding from the skin near the
breast lame, ami succeeded in getting it
out without causing pai.i or loss of blood
I'he child of course swallowed the needle
at some time, bit he parents don’t know
when.
The south is not only warmer in winter
but decidedly cooler in summer than the
North. In New York last Sunday the
thermometer registered 98 in the shade.
During the twenty-four hours ending at
noon Monday 101 deaths, most from the
effects of the sun were reported.
Russia is a large country ami does

Senator Hill’s l>yi»C Speech.
It is (generally known that Mr. Hill s i
death is but a question of time. A very ,
few days seem to be all that is left to him
of life. A day or two since lie said to
Col. Lamar, of the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger;
“I had desird to live for two reasons, ,
chief among which was that I might (
have made a speech which T had partly i
prepared to the people of this whole |
country, upon the relations betw-en the i
white man and the bla<’k man. I have
always been in favor of giving the. negro
equal and exact justice—nothing more
ami nothing less. My friend, we cannot
have good government or stable society
in this land when one party seeks to
dominate the other by use of the negro
vote.”
Why ; oh, Why"
Why did the committee on platform
omit that resolution which read :
Resolved, that all errors be corrected
within, and not without, the party?
Did it not do sobecaii.se Mr. Stephens
himself suggested that this wouid anger
the independents and cause them to an
tagonize. him? —Atlanta Herald.
Georgia for the Rich.
Robert Toombs remarked when he saw
the clause in the constitution of 1877
qualifying voters, that in a tew years
half the voters of Georgia would be dis
franchised. Lets see: Butts county has
nearly 500 disfranchised; Fulton 5,000;
Morgan, 600 or 800 ; Richmond, several
thousand, and other comities in like
proportion, as will be seen from examin
ing the comptroller’s book. Awake ye
poor people from your lethargy, or else
in a few years you will be compelled to
kneel at your master’s feet and beg for
bread. —Jackson News.
Not Mad but Sick.
We are not mad, disgruntled or disor
ganized. As we haven’t been governed
much for the past six years ami don’t ex
pect any’ improvement for the next two,
we see no reason to strain our hip-joint
kicking at the empty air.—Atlanta Her
ald.
Our friend Starr, of the Spring Place
Times, calls for the saving of the im
mense crop of fruit, by camming, drying,
“or some other mode of putting it into a
durable form.” As, in the same paper,
he appeals for the repair of the town
well, only in behalf of the wayward trav
eller who t.hirsteth for water, we can ap
preciate the interest he manifests in the
saving of the juicy peach in a durable
form.
Thk Rome Courier gives circulation
to a rumor that Col. Forsythe of that
place, is to be appointed judge of the U.
S. court of the northern district of this
state. It says that Forsythe has gone
te Washington, and indications suggest
the certainty of Atkin’s rejection by the .
senate.
Gen. Gartrell has been furnished with
substantial “fraud cry” at the very
outsetof the campaign, for Mr. Stephens
put nothing in his platform that meant
anything or that anybody could attack.
