SENATOR BROWN, Of Georgia, says that the efforts
being made to run fusion tickets in the Southern
States against the regular Democracy viii have
the effect of uniting the latter and will really
strengthen the Southern Democratic party. He
says the independents of Georgia will not ally
themselves with the Republicans; that any move
to win Republican success under the guise of a
fusion or so-called anti Bourbon coalition viii
send nearly all the Georgia independents back
into the regular Democratic ranks.
That good old man is at it again. He
arrived here pretty good Republican,
and is reputed to have had a candidate
for Sergeant-at-Arms of the Republican
faith. But not knowing that General
Malone would vote against the Bourbons,
he let his foot slip and got into the mi
nority. If such Georgia independents as
Ben Hill and Joe Brown should all 90
back into the regular Democratic ranks
then the Bourbons would be again united.

An epidemic of a very complicated
type, battling the skill Of the best doctors,
has broken out in some sections of this
city. In fact. it does not seem confined
to any particular neighborhood, but is
distributed very generally throughout the
central portions and the suburbs. No
opinion has been expressed By physicians
as to whether it is contagious or not, but
it is generally believed that it is what
may be termed an atmospheric disease,
Its general distribution. even to remote
neighborhoods, being indicative of the
conclusion that it is not catching from
one person to another, but is in the air.
So far as heard there have been no fatal
cases up to the present time, and no
anxiety need be felt by any one taking it.
Recovery is almost certain, though slow.
