Anything for Power.

FROM the richmond state (Dem.)
The South is solidly Democratic and
will be in that election, no matter what
the issue may be, whether for Green
backs, silver dollars or gold, a tariff or
free trade. We are not making plat.
forms down here just now. We leave
1t to the North, as also the candidate.
Any platform, and for that matter al
most any candidate, will do for US, so
only they will secure the defeat of the
Radical party, and the restoration of
the government to the Democracy. In
this respect the South is very like the
New York fireman when the question
of the color the engine should be paint
ed came up. He didn't care fig what
color they painted "der masbeen," only
so it was red. And you may give us
any sort of a platform, with almost any
sort of a candidate, only so he is DEM
ocrat, and we will vote all the same.
Our object is to secure our hare, and de-
eide afterward how we will cook it.

ing at Turner'S hall of the friends of Mr.
Maurice Davidson, the occasion being the
celebration of that gentleman's birthday. 1t
was iovial company, and hearty were the
congratulations he received on his fifty
eighth birthday. His health was drank by
all present from glasses of foaming beer and
ruby wine, while many were the wishes that
he might live to double his years. When the
festivities were at their height, Mr.. Julius
Langenbach, in neat speech, presented him
with fine seal ring handsomely finished, in
the name of his German friends. Mr.. Da-
wilson accepted the gift, making an appro-
pirate reply. The occasion was most pleas

present. He is full of life and more active
than any of his grown sons.

The Georgia Muddle.

The situation over in Georgia is bv
DO means cheering. The account pub
Ishcd elsewhere shows that the State
Democratic ConycWivn has adjourned
without making any nomination for
Governor. The two-thirds rule IS in
force. and Governor Colquitt, TIC lead
ing candidate, failed to receive the
requisite vote. Various reasons arc
assigned for this state Of things. Coy
crnor Colquitts administration in gen.
cral seems to havo won tho approval
or u great majority of the Georgia
Democracy. While it is conceded that
DC has made some mistakes, and while
it is suspected that some of his official
acts have not been without sclcintcrest
as their motive, yet it is true that his
conduct has been such rs to deserve
well at tho hands Of his people. His
opponents clnim that he is but the
centre of political "ring" that have
manipulated affairs TO suit their own
purposes. In the State Convention
the opposition developed just strength
enough to deprive Colquitt Of a two
thirds vote, and just obstinacy enough
to make them stand out to tho end.
The friends Of the Governor seem to
lave become infected with Il like per-
siStcncy, and so tho most important
part Of The Conventions work was
completely blocked. We now have in
lcading Democratic State The un-
fortunate anomaly Of a Democratic
State ticket without head. Such Il
condition of things can only do harm
1t may result in tho election Of Radi-
cal as Governor of Georgia! Already
the enemy is moving. The Radical
State Committee have called n nomi-
mating convention to meet on the
sepcnthof September. Even should
the Fldical nominee bc beaten. great
injury will have been done to tho
Democratic organization. 1t would
have been far better to sacrifice Gov
crnor Colquitt, tllan to run the risk of
breaking up the Democratic party.
Great and good man as he is, his III
tcrcsts and prospects arc q small mat
ter IA compared with the life of tho
party 10 which Georgia and tho Whole
South owe their escape from tho rule
OF tho negro and tho carpet baggcr.
However much Governor Colquitt and
his friends may have thought the nomi-
nation due TO him as Il vindication of
his personal and political character,
they should have devised sonc means
OF avoiding the unfortunate result of
their persistent adhesion to their favor
tic. Governor Colquitt's character
could have been fully vindicatcl in
some other way. Prudence and patri-
ollsm alike demanded tho withdrawal
OF Colquitt and all other aspirants be-
fore tho Convention, and the selection
OF some sound Democrat whose uomi-
nation would at once have satisfied
and unified tho party. AS it is, tho
devotion to tho Governor on tho one
hand and the bitter opposition to him
on tho other, may result in turning tho
executive department. Of Georgia into
the hands Of simon-purc Radicals. Tho
lesson to be learned from tho mudclc
across The Savannah Is that no indi-
vldtal is too good or too great to be
sacrificed and "shclvcd" for tho good
of)cmocraey.
