Atlantx leads as the place for sensa lions The newspapers mp there can work sip a sensation when they can do nothing ■else. The Atlanta Capitol says that if Mr. Walsh kicked by the convention, he was about “kicked up stairs." And that s was SmithviUe News. the size of it, says the Yes, kicked up-stairs:—Lit the ceding, as it were. The last Georgia Legislature, in Octo¬ ber, passed an act amending section 4570 of tbe code, in such a manner as to make it as much of an offense to furnish liquor at primary elections as it is to deal it out at regular elections. This fact had better be kept in mind by numerous politicians who did nut know, or else had not remem¬ bered’ it. The great national Democratic conven tion at St, Louis has convened, acted and adjourned. Cleveland was unanimously elected, and fifteen thousand people shouted themselves hoarse, so great was the enthu siasm. The vice president was not nomi¬ nated so unanimously. Neither was there unanimity in the adoption of a platform. The debates on this issue have been tedious and stubborn. Nevertheless, Cleveland and Thurman will be elected and tariff reform will be the weapon of warfare. Allas Sturgis, a negro who ivasarest ed at Thomson and jailed to await the action of the grand jury, was lynched on Saturday night. He had invaded the pri vacy of a lady’s bedroom, This is the third or fourth incident of the kind that has occurred in Thomson in the last few years. All the other negroes who had made such attempts had escaped, but when Allen was caught and confessed, the people arose and made an example of him. Allen Sturgis had been in the chaingatig several times and had been whipped sev eral times for his rascality. Tiie Republican party once had a well defined policy, and its purposes and aims were altogether different from what control that party today. The Republican party abolished slavery and preserved the Union ; it afterwards undertook to reform Southern customs and Southern laws. What is that party trying to do now 7 Nothing, only to beat the Democrats for office, and to prove on the tariff issue that truth and justice is all a lie. Up North the Repub¬ lican is often spoken of as the Grand Old Party. To the Northern people it has b’en a grand party, but it not so today. The Republican party is doomed, its policy is almost nothing and its aims and purposes are fast becoming smaller and more unpopular. Ant Important Rill. Tbe Atlanta Evening C&jsitbl of July 19, 1887, says : “Dr. J. Northrop Smith will introduce a bill this session for the protection of the traveling public, against accidents, caused by color blindness, or other forms of defective vision. This is a good bill and should be endorsed by the whole House, There is not the Shadow of a doubt as to the bill passing, as it is a very important one, as it is not only a protection to the traveling public, but a benefit to the railroad employes, who have so many lives entrusted to their care, Whenever a doctor introduces a bill it is generally a good one, and one that always meets „ . the ,, approbation of the entire .. House. It is useless for the reporter, on a hot day like this, to undertake to give a pen portrait of the able representative of Crawford, hut suffice it to say that he is a genial, popular gentleman, and is fond of ary sport where fuu and frolic are to be found. When it comes down to business, however, no member of the legislature has a longer or wiser head. He is always to be found ready to do battle for his constituents, and their inter estscouMuotbein safer hands. Other legislators maj^ make more noise and create mote notoriety, but there is not a member that will look to the interests of his constituents more than Mr. Smith, of Crawford. He makes no parade, but always answers roll call, and listens to every bill introduced, hears every resolu¬ tion, aud loses not a werd of every speech that is made. Endowed with sound judg¬ ment and a clear mind, and possessing rare legislative talents, the Doctor makes a most worthy’ member, and the county be so well represents should he proud of such a gifted man to represent them. When be returns home he can rest assured that he will be pleasantly remembered by his co-laborers. Trusted with the interests of his county, be surely has them at heatt and most faithfully discharges all his offi¬ cial duties. He is faithful iu all things and no member is move vigilant and watch¬ ful. Full of enthusiasm for the right and invectives for the wrong, his influence is often felt in the committee rooms and the House. He is quiet and unostentatious but one of the best men in the Legislature, and in every way worthy of the esteem of bis constituents.” The Mem. Ex. Committee. Tomorrow the Democratic Executive Committee of Oawfoi'd county will meet to appoint a day for the nomination of county officers. Whether or not a large representation is present we would like to see the wishes of the people duly considered and respected. The best time, it would seem, for the nomination of county officers would be early in the fall—about Sept. 1. Candi¬ dates could then canvass the county while the crops need least attention. The Journal’s Position. This paper is being watched by some who expebt to see it take a stand for one or the other of the candidates for senator. But such parties will be mistaken. We regard both as gentlemen worthy’ and well qualified to discharge the duties of such an office, and will feel no cause for dissatisfac¬ tion if either the one or the other should be elected. We expect to antagonize no democrat in the race for a county office. Iu the meanwhile, the columns of the paper will bo open to all the candidates who may wish to publish anything for personal benefit. Of course a small charge will be m.jde by the printer iu each instance of the kind.
