FOR SENATOR.
To the Voters of the 38th Sena~
: torial DiStrict.
At the instdnce and solicitation of
‘friends, 'I, some montlis siuce, an
hotiiiced that I would be a caudidate for
Senator froni this District. I had not
thought until recently that it would be
expected or (hought necessary for can
didates to announce in the papers, but
such seems tobe the course adopted,
which eoiirse T rogard as entirely prop
er, and perhaps thic best means of giv
ing the people notice of one’s ¢andidacy.
1 thercfore, in this additional way, anl
fiounce that I am, and will be if spared
to live uritil the election is over, a candi
date to repregent the District in the Sen
-~ ate of Georgia. Respectiully soliciting
the support of the voters of the District,
I have only to say, that ‘it elected, my ‘
pride and purpose. will be to faithiully |
and honestly serve and promote the.
best interests of the people of the Dis- 1
trict and State. |
Very Respectiully,

‘ * emocratic platforat adopt
ed by the National Democratic con
ventign seems to give general satis
faction to all but Ben Butler.
We have not heard of any oppo
sition at all to the Hon, J €. Clem

district, and we do lot think there

%fifi'fion J. W. Mattox, of Summer
“ville, has been nominated by the,
“Democrats of the 42d Senatorial
district for the Senate. Mr. Mattox
is a splendid man.
g e e
. Ben Butler sold out to John Kel- 1
win thé Democratic convention
Jast week, and Kelly sold out. also
and the price he got, wag hissis and
a complete “cat down on.”
- The campaign for Congress was
fairly opened in the sth last Satur
day. It commenced in Henry coun
¢y by electing Jackson men to the
Congressional convention. The del
gates wet'd‘elected hy primary elec
tion at eicH Pistinet precinct and
Jackson-got 74 of the 13th Dist. of
h*'xe county.
. Mr.V.A: Clegg, of Lwe county,
and his son-in-lés M. Win: Hooks
have 600 actés in cotton that is
dapped in three and a half feet rows
and will average three feet high,
‘othep crops proportionately. Mr. C.
is one of the progressive titen of
ithat section and southwest Georgia
s proud of him. Diversity is his
miotto,. turpentitie; Jumber, hogs,
colts and provisions. .
Qe Bt Ul D e :
| TFhe Jacksori Hien are very jubi
dant over their success.: - Douglas;
sounty will select its delegates the
22d,and Fualton the 30th. - The
Douglasville Star says that Doug
-las county-will send Jackson men.
It is-thought that the Tace in Ful
‘ton will be very elose. The Palmet
-40 Blade seems to think that Jack
gon williearry Campbell and Fay
_ott counties, and -the Jonesboro
,'%‘?m claims Clayton for Jackson.
“Fhe prospeets are now. that Cap,
ififim‘i&‘flgcksou, will get to ol
" he Nomination.
The action of of _the Democrats
at Chicago last week seems, witha
few excentions, to give satisfaction.
It is true that Senator Bayard had
a very respectable following, but it
seems that all of them, together
with Bayard, are ready to support
the choice of the majority of the
Democrats, and will do all they can
to eleet the nominated ticket.
Our preference of all Democrats
was Bayard, and if it bad been the
wish of the party we would have
rejoiced to have seen him nomina
ted, but as it is, we are willing to
bo governed by the action of the
party. We believe that Cleveland
& Hendricksjis the strongest ticket
that could have been nominated,
notwithstanding our personal pref
erence was otherwise.
With the grand and unobjection
able platform the Democrats have,
the assurance of cuarrying New
York, New Jersy, Indiana and a
solid South, we cannot sec nothing
to hirder Democratic victory this
fall,
Cleveland and Hendricks,*
Gov. Cleveland, of New York,
was nominated for President on
the 2d ballot at Chicago last Fri
day and Gov, Thos, A Hendricks,of
Indiapa, Vice: President. Cleve
land roceived 683 votes, and after
wards his nomination wag made u
nanimous. All appeared to be sat
isfied but John Kelly and Ben But
ler, and it is reported that the for
mer will fall into line. Butler
geems to wait ‘“‘to see farther” be
fore announcing his position. He
left the Convention, nowever, long
before the nomination was made,
and it is quite probable that he
had his “nose turned up” about
gomething. Tk
IGov Hendricks reteived 816 votes
of the 820 votes of the ¢Jonvention.
~The news of the nomination was
received with great enthusiasm all
over the Union, and all the know
ing ones seem to think that the
Denivcrats can win with that tigk

Death From a Walking Match;
Ateusta, July 15.-——-Richardson,4
one of the contestanty in the 4th of
July walking match in this ‘city
died to-day. He had walked about:
three hours when he suddenly fell
down on the track and had to be
carried away. He! has not been
out of bed since,and to-day he died
from loss of blood. He had riptur
ed some internal organ. in his ef
fort to get the first place., P
The above should be.a warning.i
It is @ pity *he people will engagel
in such business as walking match
es. They«lo not build up the town,
cofinty or state in which they are
held, but tend to lower the
standard of morzili_g){‘ and religion,
plant in their stead immorality.
They are gambling—nothing but
gambling. We are sorry to see ma
ny ofcur best papers tolerate such.

rather queer to see s 0 many peo

rather remarkable that in every in

It would have made you laugh
to have heard the negro woman in
the kitchen praying after this style:

ast many favors of you, an’ es vou
you will gerve me dis one time, I
never, never, never ast nothin’ else

jokes aside, that was a pretty bad
storm, and ‘‘trees blowed down
that never did blow down before.”

about out of cash, and that is a
bout all it does mean, for there is
as much money at one time ag an
other, only it’s harder to “git at.”

A Digastrous Scene;
New York, July 14.—The inmates of
a fourstory tenement house at 2,195 Sec
ond avenue ware awakened Sunday
morning by the alarm of fire. The faries
broke out in the basement, and commu”
nicating with two dumb waiters and the
air shafts in the rear of the building, as
well as the stairway, soon reached every
floor and filled the whole hotzr with
dense clouds of smoke. The terror of the
inmates at being aroused from their
sleep, and fining all means of egress cut
off as the building was not provided with
fire escapes, was indegeribable; while a
‘heavy thunder storm which was r ging
without renewed their frigh*, The win
’ dows in front ot the housé appeared to be
the only way of escape, and a family oc
lcupying a second floor were the first to
make their way out upon an awning of a
tgrocerv store which occupied the first
floor, wheiice they were taken by neigh
'bors who came to their agsistance. The
| wife of James Morris, who lived on the
third floor, leaped from the window to
’the awning and rolled down into the

who lives on the top floor, attempted to
lower his wif¢ ol baby rjn'ym‘yh!_:, windnow
by means of gheetg tied togethe. but the
fabric gave way before they had reach
ed the third floor, and womai aidl child
came crashing down upon the aWwning,
which broke benecath the combined

side-walk and was picked up uncaicious
her skull fractured and her arm broken,
besides receiving several internal inj_\v:
ries. She will probably not suryive the.
shock. The infant loflged ypon the awn

hurt. McMahan succeeded in getling
down safely by climbing from -windo W

who occupy the rear rooms on the 2nd
floor, jumped from the window into the
