Georgia Republicans.

The Baltimore Herald has come to
the conclusion that Ito an outsider the
chief aim of the Georgia Republicans
for a decade past has appeared to be
an Unsuitable eagerness to grab the
Federal offices in the State. Every
man who wanted an appointment put
himself at the head OF faction and
started for Washington, claiming to
have the party at his back. Tsis went
on until there were as many Republican
organizations in Georgia as there We're
eats after the Kilkenny fight. But it
| IS claimed that this period of dissen
sion is ended. The conclusion ar
rived st is a very correct one with the
exception of the closing sentence in
which the claim that the t.dissension is
ended " is stated. Dispatches from
Washington state that the delay in fill
ing the Georgia offices is due to the fact
that the Administration experiences
much difficulty under its proscriptive
policy in finding suitable men. The truth
is every Republican in the State wants an
Off e and there are not enough places
Just now to 90 round. Some who are
in dice desire change for a little
better place and each one approaches
the President with the many obligations
which the party is under to him. The
truth is there is no Republican party in
Georgia that amounts to Responsibility,
and nearly every white man who ailili-
ates with the party is an office-holder.
They are Republicans for the money
there is in being Republicans and as
long as this is the case the President
may expect them, when they want an
office. to put the Republican party in
their pockets and start to Washington.
The negroes in the South compose the
bulk OF the Republican party and now
and then one of them who is supposed
to be able to exercise influence with
his race in keeping them in line is given
a reward. but the Office is generally not
a lucrative one, The idea with the
average Georgia white Republican is to
fill Office. and the party is considered
derelict OF It's duty if he is left out in the
cold, If there is a white Republican in
this county that is not an office holder
we don Know it, and if there is one in
the State OF any prominence, whatever,
he either is or has been an Office
holder. 10 e ~
Mr.. Arthur need not vex himself. or
undergo the least anxiety so far as APP
pointing Ulcers for this State is con-
cerned. 1t is matter of Indifference
with him only as it serves his partisan
purposes, and any nomination that he
may make will give him no strength in
this State Even if he should succeed
in securing the Georgia delegation to
the National Convention, it would not
give him Il nomination, but It's is not
at all liz ely. 1t is said that 'he clings
to the faded relics of the Georgia coali-
tion,' and this is sufficient to blast such
prospects as he might have otherwise
had. Notwithstanding this, he is ex-
ercising himself, as a foriorn hope, over
the appointments. In recent dis patch
from Washington it is stated that "a
week ago it seemed that Wimberly was
to go at once into the Savannah
Revenue Collectorship, and Farrow
was to give way to Wade at
Brunswick But it seems that
neither Folger or Arthur IS very much
preposessed with this idea This is per-
haps explained by the same dispat CHI
which says ''Farrow has put in the
plea that lake Dart tried to Gust him,
and is endeavoring to strengthen HIM
self by appearing a victim of Demo
cratic ntipathy. Dart came to Wash
ington to aid Brunswick in getting
public building. and paid no attention
to ANYTHING else. Mr.. Robson had an
other knock down in the House to-day.
when he declared that the democrats
were kill nS the infant industries. Ran
dolph Tucker piled him with several
POINTS, that penetrated even his rhii
noceros hide" But it is their fight and
the Democrats might as well stand
with hands OF. Nevertheless it will be
a bright day for Georg when all these
men who have made a Kilkenny cat
tio hit for office are retired from public
Ii e and made to a
60 back to the vile dust from whence they
sprung,
