The victory of Messrs. Livingston, Lawson and Moses, the latter need ing now but a fraction of a vote, gives little encouragement to the candidates who are trying to de feat the present incumbents for r Each of these three have been spirited fights, but in each case .-the congressman was renominated. Judge McWorter, who has just surrender and left the nomination to Judge Lawson after a hard fight Jeaves the field with the admira tion of the public for the manly course he pursued in resigning his office bef< re entering the race for -another, and for the dignified plane on which the campaign was • waged against his opponent. There was no bitterness whatever in the contest, und when the fight was ended the contestants were as good friends as when it opened. 'This is the way contests f»r the nomination should be carried on ; between Democrats. The nomina > tion of Judge Lawson retains in X Washington an able and conserva *, tive party man who stands square- Yly'cn the Democratic platform. '-Congressmen Lester, Crisp, Turn er, Maddox and Black have a walk over for the nomination, their con stituents not even suggesting op position from any source in the party. It is not probable that ei ther of these will have any serious ■trouble in the election except Major Black, who has the misfor tune to be in the hotbed of the Third Party’s strength in the . State, and to be opposed by Tom i Watson, who is stronger than the party itself. But neither he nor the r party is as strong as two years ago, and Major Black beat them then, though Watson was in, and he a z raw recruit. Now Black is on the inside and has the added strength . of his political experience and an ( admirable record. He will get there. Brave Ben Russell, and hand some, dashing Carter Tate will go back. Unless Cabiniss's vote on silver loses him his seat, the Geor gia delegation will go back next term without a break in the ranks. It is recognized as one of the most evenly balanced and creditable delegations in Congress, and ought i to go back. —Augusta Chronicle. AN ORGANIZATION OF BIGOTS It is not a pleasing thing to note the revival of tl e un American orga*.“ Zition known as the American Pro tective Association. That it will be short-lived there is no doubt, but for a time it may prove mischievious, Tne organization should be repug nant to every patriotic citizen who is not a fanatic, or who does not seek to ride into power on these recurring waves of fanaticism. The organization has never met with favor in democrat) ic communities, and democratic states, but in the north notorious fonts isms and new theories, and generally un bidanced political views it has man aged to gain subside) able headway until this year it has been fostered so quietly and yet withal so zealously that in the Wisconsin republican state convention on Thursday last it sue needed in nominating its candidate for governor on the first ballot. This oath.bound and vicious socie ty seeks to bar all but native Ameri cans from all positions in every branch ofpuuuicipal, county, state or national government —and not content with that sweeping interdiction it seekt, to bar every member of the Catholic church from like positions even if they be native American citizens, and ev eryone admitted to this organization of bigots is required to subscribe to an oath that he will not vote for o r countenance the election or employ - ment of that class. When the issue is brought close to the people, the candidates of such an un American society can be defeated in every state of the union, and the democracy of Wisconsin should throw down the gauntlet and welcome the issue, not permitting tariff or financial issues to obscure it. It should not be permitted to get a foothold in free America. But it is only in the north that this organization is doing its stealthy work. It is trying to risk a lodging in the south, and in a recent election in Nashville we are informed that it had some of its star chamber mem bers on one of the tickets. It would be well for those opposed to this dangerous society to require candi dates for official position to make the fact clear and unmistakable that they are in no wise connected with this fanatical association of bigots. As they keep their movements se cret, and are oath-bound and close mouthed, the greatest vigilance wifi ba required to prevent deception. The Georgia democracy that assem bles in Atlantn next week should siq ts seal of disapproval upon this so. . icalled American Protective Associa t:on as an example to their democrat ic brethren of the other states of the 1 union,—Savannah Dispatch, I A GROUNDHOG CASE. A man who was busily digging for .a groundhog was asked by a ‘ looker on: “Do you think you * will catch him?'* whereupon he ’ replied wi*h serious,determination: ‘Tv’e got to catch him ; the preach ‘ er ie at my hou»£ and Iv’egot no 1 meat.” That is about the situation with 1 the Democratic party and the tar iff bill, and hence we have never ’ doubted that the bill will be pass ed. It is a groundhog case. The ■ party has got to pass it. Democratic congressmen who ■ have to be re-elected this fall would never face their constituents with out having passed a tariff bill. To reform the tariff was the issue on which the party went into power. It was even thought that it should be the business of an extra session: Having until the regular session, and then failed af ter eight months cf continuous session to pass a reform tariff bill, the chief plank of the platform on which the Democrats were placed in 1 power, would be such a confession I of incapacity as no party could ' hope to survive. j Thia is as apparent to Democrats t las to their political opponents, t and the judgment wi uld take i< the whole party. The parties oi the ride of the House bill wou'< be little better off than those m the ?iJo of the Senate bill, for i would be party condemnation, so not individual punishment, Th people, who respond to the c i 1 from the Democratic party to giv< it a chance to reclaim the Cover: - meat from Republican misru e. would declare that the Democratic party had been neighed io the be - auce and found, wanting. The party would surely be un seated, and the people woulu d - clare their preference even fit .• party which could rule badly rather than one which could no rule at all. Not to pass the t.iiifi reform bill would be equivalent • < the suicide of the Democratic pir ty. Some of the leaders may h-v< dragged the party.tothe biink, Lit they will never throw it ov< r, fui the simple reason that they vyouhi go with it. The bill was returned to I conference commit lee by ti< Senate yesterday without instruc tions. There will be concessions ii the conference committee by bo:i sides. The bill will be passed Augusta Chronicle, SENATORIAL DRIFT.
