last to inquire into the political status
Of the various public offices in Geor-
gi is a proper and just one. The
Republicans have been unJustly
treated in the past by those holding
first class places in this State. A
great deal has been expected from
Republicans and Yet in the matter OF
government patronage they have
been eIbowed and pushed ont Of the
WAY. while Democrats and men, who
have no aifinence or sympathy for the
D utv, have been provided for. The
resolution of the State Central Com
mittee passed at its late session in Ma

in Congress as the Demo-

sentatives in Congress as the Demo-
cratic canvassing boards see fit to
elect, without regard to the express
ed will of the voters of the interest
Of the nation at large We cannot
fairly suppose the latter interpreta-
ton of their resolution to be true,
because farther on they recognize
the necessary of protecting and pre-
serving the purity of the ballot-bo
as the safeguard of free institutions,
and condemn any attempt to inter
fere with the free and full exercise
of the elective franchise" But, if
the complaint Of federal interference
has any point at all, it must refer
either to the collection Of internal
taxes or to the supervision Of cleo
tions. And upon these points, the
right of the general government is
perfectly clear, and the mind of the
nation is made up. If the Democrats
OF Alabama or any other State choose
to kick against the pricks in these
directions SO much the worse for
their heels. Since Appomattox it
has been settled that the national
laws must be obeyed, and the natioa-
al authority respected.
The resolutions under considera-
tion appear to reassert the old claim
of the right of local Interpretation of
the constitution. for they only pledge
obedience to the laws of the general
government within its constitutional
limits" This is dangerous condi-
ton of obedience, unless the author
ity Of the highest court is accepted
as conclusive as to what are the con-
stitutional limits. The Supreme
Court has decided that the general
government has the right to ''pre-
serve and protect the purity of the
ballot-box" at elections in which cit
izens Of the United States are to vote
| for representatives in the Congress
Of the whole people. Such right
would have to be put in the Consti-
tuition, if it did not already exist
there, if our nationality is to stand
as anything more than fiction. For
the citizens of each State have dl-
rect and vital interest in seeing that
the representatives in Congress from
every other State are honestly and
fairly elected If South Carolina or
Alabama WISHES to install her local
officers by fraud, that is her own af-
fur; but, when it comes to choosing
representatives to make laws for
the nation, the uatiOn must see that
the rights aud interest of its citizens
every where protected. The Southern
Democrats will only play into the
hands of the leaders of the Repnbli-
cans at the North, rs they have been
doing for the past dozon years.

That Platform.

The Democrats Of Alabama have
tried their hand at declaring .heir
principles. aud rather a hard time
they had of it. A duller lot Of gen
erali6es has not lately appeared
They ''reaffirm devotion to the time
,honored principles of the Democrat
lie party" in happy ignorance of, or
complacent Indifference to, the fact
that the Democratic party has eth
or chosen or been forced to abandon
pretty nearly every one of its time
hcnored principles" and is held to-
gether to-day only by its name, it's
prtju6ces and its hankering hope Of
getting possession of the offices. Ev-
idence of this fact was furnished as
soon as the Alabama platform build
ers left the safe realm of generalities
and attempted to be specific. They
favor "a strict construction of the
constitution" and are "unalterahly
opposed to the continued acts of the
Federal authorities tending to CEN
tralization of all power in the gener-
al government, to the destruction of
local self-goyernment. This is very
stale stuff piece Of mouldy Tilden
ism. What has the Federal Govern
ment done or attempted for the past
six years to limit the right Of local
self-government at the South Is
not every Southern State enjoying
this right as freely as any State at
the North, except in cases where the
Democratic party has deprived towns
and counties Of the right to elect
their own local officers, in order to
make more secure their control by
junta of "centralizing' Bourbons |?
The only way in which the Federal
Government has made its power felt
obnoxiously in any part of the South
is in enforcing the collection of inter
nal taxes on whisky, and in attempt
ing to secure free and fair elections
for Members of Congress. Do the
Alabama Democrats mean that each
State should be permitted to turn in
whatever proportion of just. necessa-
ry and legal taxes its citizens feel in
clined to pay, and that 'the right
Of each State to regulate its local af-
fairs by its own authority" implies
the right to count in" such Repre-

The Republican Call.

How will the Republicans Of Ala
hama respond to the call OF Chairman
Turner fSr . State Convention
at Montgomery I? There is every rea-
son Why the response should be such
as to assemble together the largest and
fullest representation of Republicans
yet held in the State.
Ifin our history there was ever a
time when the party owed great du-
ty to its faithful followers ard to the
State, that time is now. The very
reasons advanced by many lukewarm
and disheartened Republicans against
= Conventions are so many reasons
in its favor to determined aud coura-
geeus men.
As duty to itself the party must
hold Convention for consultation,
and mutual exchange Of ideas and
experience; for restoring courage and
hope to its long disorganized follow
ers. who yet remain faithful after sew
eral campaigns in which they had
neither organization or leaders.
AS an all-important duty to the
State the Republican party must 60
before the people exposing and oppo-
sing the grave abuses aud wrongs per-
petrated by the ruling party in its ad-
ministration of the peoples trust.
They must know what lisgroce
rests upon the fair name Of the State
by the fraudulent election law; what
evils dow from it; how their material
interests have suffered by it and will
continue to sufer. For this great
outrage against morality, the Demo
cratic party In its recently adopted
platform Of principles offers neither
apology. explanation or purpose of re-
form.
Again the Democratic party must
be held responsible for crippled
school system, which now offers the
poor country children three months
of schooling during the year. This
result Is partly due to large appropria
tiOns from the school fund to higher
schools for the few to the neglect Of
the masses.
These leading and important issues
must be brought before the people and
discussed. Not only these, but other
questions of scarcely less Importance
Ior- of interest to the people.
There can be no more effective way
ito bring these questions into light
than by the opportunity now offered
fora campaign. We trust, therefore,
that appreciating their duty the Re-
publicans will nes only send large
representation to the Convention, but
one meaning business. The situati on
demands State ticket vigorous,
earnest canvass. Duty dema nds it OF
Republicans. Let that duty be per-
formed and let the result go for what
it will be worth.
