for governor in Georgia, and it can't fail to

generally, however it may strain the organiza.

Colquitt is confessedly an able and honest

he has host Of enemies. While the state
convention steadily gave him decided
majority ofthe votes for denomination bo
failed 10 obtain the requisite two.thirds, and
it is probable that the question will be re-.
manded to the people for. decision. The
trouble is that they have bu. one political
party in Georgia. A brief reign of carpet
osggers and adventures after reconstruction,
utterly destroyed Republicanism, and since
then the Democracy has been overweiphted
with its own numbers and the ambition of its
leaders. There are no. offices enough to 90

Garfield. Arthur Club.

There was Republican rally at the city
hall last night for the purpose of organizing
a Carried and Arthur club. The colored
Cornet band was in attendance and discoursed
several airs. The crowd soon began to pour
into the hall, and by 8 o'clock there we're
about 1875 persons present. Among
the number was good sprinkle of
Greenbackers. 1t was intimated to HERALD
reporter by one or two of the leaders of the
meeting that if the party could get Demo-
crat to run on the independent ticket for gov
ernor the Republicans of this city would
support him in conjunction with
the Greenbackers who would with
draw Harmon from the field
The meeting was called to order by ]. G.
Bigger, who occupied the chair. He stated
briefly the object of the meeting to be that
OF organizing club for the coming state
and national campaign. The chair further
stated that at previous meeting William
Tonga. b. Norton and William Jordan, col
ored, we're appointed committee of three
TO select officers for the club, and asked lift
was ready to report. 1t was, and reported,
recommending the following as officers of
the club: President, August Muller; Vice.
Presidents, John jackson and Melvin Wade;
Recording Secretary, r. +. Rowley; Cores.
ponding Secretary, W. n. Norton; Tressu.
rer, j. B, Hatch; Executive Committee,
j. Q. Bigger, @, Beckman, j. Topper, Will
liam Jordan, William Morrison, William
Long and G. F. Jordan. Adopted.
On motion of DR.. Cochran the name of c.
+. Alderman was added to this committee.
The books of the club we're then thrown
open and the chair invited those who wished
to join the club to come forward and enroll
their names. The number of signers
were one hundred and thirty-six. Cam
eron, of Marion, DR.. Cochran, j. G. Bigger
and Melvin Wade addressed the meeting.
The speakers said that if a candidate was
placed in the field on the Independent ticket
they would support him. The speakers
made reference to the consultation meeting
of the party, to be held at Hearne on the
25th inst, at which time some definite action
controlling the party throughout the state
would be had.

New Orleans and Texas Excursion


The New Orleans Democrat proposes q
grand excursion f.om Texas on the COM
pletion Of rail connections between Houston
and the Crescent city, and Gays:
In view of the approaching completion of
the railroad which is to connect us with
Houston, Texas, and in consideration of the
fact that there will doubtless be hereafter the
closest afliation between the people of New
Orleans and the people of Texas, both social
ly and commercially, we suggest that our
merchants take steps to insugurate the new
era by inviting to our city large number of
guests from the Lone Star state. Not only
should our citizens 60 over to Texas to
make the acquaintance of her people and
view the vast and prolific territory that will
henceforth be tribu' ary to them, but they
should arrange an excursion from Texas 20
this city, so that there may be an interchange
of hospitality, and 30 that our Texas friends
and custo ners may have an opportunity of
visiting New Orleans and of seeing for them
selves the city with which they are soon to
hold such intimate relations. The exception
al health enjoyed by our city this summer, its
cleanliness and TIE delightfully."- cool weather
We are having render the time peculiarly ap.
propriate for a grand excursion from Texas,
and we trust our merchants and people gen.
orally, will come forward and make the nee.
essary arrangements to that end. We must
DO up and doing, for our rivals are wide
awake and energetic, and while we can GER
tainlv win we must work.

ExeLIsH capitalists Seem to have As orc

ENGLISH capitalists seem to have as grea,
m eye to the accumulation of land as do he
American railroad builders. They may no,
understand SO well the means of manipula.
ton to secure landed subsidies as the Ameri
cans, yet they are fully up to the American
standard in appreciation Of the value Of sucl
subsidies. In proof Of this an English com
pany has offered to build the Canadian Pa
cidc railroad If granted by the dominion from
my to one hundred million 3 ores of the bes
land in the dominion. The Kanucks do mo-
take kindly to the scheme.

GENERAL ScorT, we believe, was the first
presidential candidate who ever made per-
sonal CANVASS, and he was ingloriously defeat
cd. Then Stephen A. Douglass went through
the country receiving immense ovstions, but
he didn't receive any electoral votes to
amount to anything. Next Mr.. Greeley
attempted it. but broke down under the
strain--broke down before he reached the
polls even. And now Mr.. Garfield is swing
ing around the circle with Schuyler Colfa1
hanging to his coat-tails and Murat Halstead,
of the Cincinnati Commercial, as ehape-
rome. Personal csnvasses for this exalted
position are not only evidences Of weakness,
but they are ominou' Of defeat.

4 BABY GIRL,

LITTLE one climbed in my lap last night
\ fair little creature with shiny eyes,
mat seemed to ha\ taken their radiant light
From TIE talrest hue OF the summer skies
And down on my shoulder she laid her he I'd,
Ala settled herself with quaint little twirl;
ana then. looking up in my lace, she said,
NOW, sing me a song of Il baby girl
OF baby girl" How my thoughts flew back
10 another time and another scene.
Ear. Tar adown on my memoryS track.
With many JOY and sorrow betwcen-
To another time. when al evenings close,
Tired out vi h the long days busy whirl,
l, too. climbed up for sweet repose
On my mothers lap-a baby girl.
How we change, how we chansssNs tAsHeers
- on. - ~ -
Thee are silver threads in my hairto-dav:
And the Low M and cherished mnther e gone
To the pleasant laud where angels stay
" ! wonder. wonder. if e'er she looks down
Ft"m the beautiful city with gates of
From " the sounding harp and the cleaning
crown"
To follow the fate of her baby girl?
What is this, little one? All. her head droops
And her fingers have loosened their clinging
clasp,
For the innocent slumber but children know
HodS her baby brain in its 500, hing grasp.
And gatner more closely her form to my
breast.
And tenderly toy with each clust ring curl.
"n' II orr labor is done. may our final rest
BE as sweet as the sleep of my baby girl!
