For Representative.

Mr. Randall is slowly but steadi
ly improving. He is to be remov
ed from Washington to the moun
tains ol I'ennsylvaniit for recupera
tion of his health.
Through courtesy of Col. A. D.
Candler, wo have had the pleasure
of examining the Mills Bill, as it
passed the House of Representa
tives.
Sam Jones created a sensation at
Chatau, N, Y., the other day by de
claring to an audience of 5,000
people that Cleveland will here
elected.
The British government, in deal
ing with Mr, Parnell and the Irish
question, grows more and more
contemptible every day. The home
rule issue, however, will win.
A colored paper published in
Cincinnati says that “Douglass,
Langston and Lynch go to every
republican convention and come to
the front in the Lazarus act,” ex
hibiting their political sores. Well,
it is an easy way to make money.
The New v ork Commercial wants
the ‘ Middle Man” done away with.
When this ia done, monopolies will
not need protection. Tho middle man
is v hat plays havoc with low prices
A bite per cent, goes for his benefit.
Ben. Sherman wants it understood
that he is going to take part in the
national campaign. It is rery likely
Mr Sherman will leave his money
baga in Washington. They would be
too cumbersome to carry. He is net
likely to ride in the same coach with
Mr. Blaine.
Several republican papers are trying
to pick fan at the democratic party's
platform. The trouble is, the platform
n akes a clean sweep of the political
ground. There is nothing left for the
repnblioans to stand on. They are
like a’possum trying to cling to a
persimmon hash.
Three American ladies have
been extended the franking privil
ege for their letters and have thus
no use for postage stamps. They
are Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Garfield and
Mrs. Grant, the wives of ex-presi
dents. Their letters are entitled
to free conveyance through the
public mails.
The California stage driver who
committed suicide the other day by
sitting on a fifty pound can of giant
powder and touching it off showed
that he was thoroughly selfish and
brutal. If a man must kill himself,
let him do it in a way that will not
shock his neighbors and tear up
the surrounding country,
Michigan will go democratic, so
says the Detroit Free Press. It is very
likely other republican spates will fall
into line.
The Mills Bill.
By a majority of 13 votes the
Mills Tariff Bill has passed the
House of Representatives, and has
been transmitted to the Senate.
From the best information we are
able to attain from our exchanges,
it is not at all likely that it will be
passed by thati body at this ses
sion, and probably not at all.
Judge Branham has retired from
the race ."or congress. The follow
ing is his card:
“To the voters of the 7th Con
gressional District: For private
reasons, not necessary to mention
to the public, I have retired from
the congressional race. I am deep
ly grateful to those who have tend
ered me their aid and support, and
return my sincere thanks to them.
Respectfully,
J, Branham,”
C. C, Nelson, the absconding
president of the North Side Sav
ings Bank of Atlanta, has been
traced by detectives to Trenton,
Canada, and arrested. He cannot
be brought back and prosecuted,
because, under the extradition
laws, the money cannot be identi
fied, but he will be prosecuted un
der the laws of the dominion for
carrying stolen goods into the
country. The latest advices state
that he has turned over to the de--
tectives all die money he had on
deposit in New Xork.
The Mills Bill places the follow
ing articles on the free list;
Lumber, hewn and sawed, and
manufactured woods, salt, hemp,
jute, sheet iron, tin plates, iodine,
croton oil, cotton seed oil, petrole
um, and essential oils, opium, cot
ton ties, meats, game and poultry,
A duty of 50 cents per ounce is
placed on morphine, sll to sls
per ton on railway bars, one cent,
per pound on nails, on sugar, from
one and fifteen one hundreths to
two and four fifth cents per pound.
Wool is free of duty, but the
manufactured woolen articles pay
a duty of forty to fifty per cent,
advalorem.
The Hon. Mr. Bynum of Indiana,
Indiana will be the most hotly
contested state in the coming cam
paign. The Indiana democrats are
known to be the best fighting dem
ocrats in America, and they pro
pose to hold the state in the demo
cratic ranks in spite of the nomina
tion of Gen, Harrison for the presi
dency.
Of all the fighting democrats in
Indiana, none stands so high or is
ranked so efficient in a hand-to-,
hand struggle as Hon. Mr. Bynqm,
who will address the people of
Georgia and the adjoining states at
the Piedmont Chautauqua on July
26. It is an open secret that on
Mr. Bynum more than on any oth
er man the democrats of Indiana do
pend for carrying the state against
the prestige of Gen. Harrison’s
nomination.
Mr. Bynum comes to Georgia to
tell the people of the fight in Indi
ana, and of the great issues upon
which the campaign is to be pitch
ed. His address will be eloquent
and inspiring, and all democrats
should go out to hear him,—[Ban
ner-Watchman.
To Col. Csndler’s Credit.
If Col. Candler had deserted his poet
in Washington and come home and
gone into all the eonntiea of thia dis
trict and canvassed for his re nomina
tion. in all probability he wonld not
hsye lost a aingle county, bnt be pre
terred to faithfully discharge the dnty
resting npon him, (andjnst thia time
hie presence was greatly needed in
Washington) and therefore he did not
feel like sacrificing the interest of hia
constituents to farther his own person
al ambition, if indeed he i- ambitioua
to re-election. He is w&tohfni of the
peop'e’s inters**, is mak'i.g a good
representative, and we are *? a'ified to
see so many c< unties mstiu ing their
delegatee f r him, notwith-tn ding the
fight others are making for rne nomi
nation. Col Candler's nomi na ion is
already ansurfd and we are glad of it.
H* deserve* te election, and the die
triet wonld be ungrateful to a faithful
and able man if it did not renom
n*e and re elect bim.--[Cherokee Ad
