American journals are won't 70 Fluicule
Europeans in general and the EnSilsn N
particular for their lamenta5le lgnor-
area ~ affairs in this country. Yet hard
10 L. absurd are the ideas formed by
Republican organs at the North oil mat
te-. and things in this section. section
for section the people Of the south We
believe. are better informed as To the
North than the North a. 70 the south.
Why this Is the case il i difficult 10 IN
derstand. unless il be that the Southerner
i more given TO fair play and does not
seek to misrepresent the North FOR POliti-
cal OF commercial advantage
Here Is our usually fair and well IN
formed contemporary. the Boston AdceT-
tfser. misleading its readers as 10 the sig
uiffsnce Of the action 81 the recent DE-
mOcratic Convention in Atlanta. After
stating that GOV. BOyntOn represented
the Liberal, and Major Bacon the
Bourbon; element Of the Georgia Demo
cracv. and that Senator McDanieFs nomi-
nation Is a triumph for the ''reactionary'
wing Of the party, the Advertiser proceeds
20 remark:
In this way the sentiment Of which
Governors Celquitt and stephens were
representatives has been stl1ed. ana
Democracy Of the Robert 1Oombs stripe
regains its ascendaDey. There Is no
doubt Of McDanieFs election. The Re
publicans appear 10 have recognized the
uselessness Of making a fight, and Geor-
Zia viii slip back into the line Of states
whose politics are unprOgTessive and IN
promising. Perhaps II VIII not
stay there long, for under some
what better auspices a part Of her
population have had their hopes kindled,
and their vision brOadened, 50 that they
no longer eOyet the deafness and inertia
Of Alabama and Mississippi. They have
OutgrOwn some old prejudicss, and have
acquired some ambitions that belong 20
the new era Of national life; but the mar
row minded. short sighted politicians,
whose growth was stinted by the war,
have the upper hand now, and are likely
20 control the action Of the state in the
national canvass next year."
II Major Bacon. in person, stood for
ANYTHING that Governor BOyDtOn did not
represent. whatever tactics might have
been employed 70 make the contrary ap-
pear, we tailed to perceive it. How his
administration would or could have diff
fered from that OF Governor BOyntOn as TO
I significant details. it would be difficult 10
/ suFmise. That Mr.. Mcdaniel is any less
/ in accord with the spirit that animates
| the foremost men Of Georgia, who are as
| friendly to true liberalism as any citizens
/ Of the republic, his worst enemies would
! not insinuate. Even if he We're Demo-
/ crat Of the Bob. TOOmbs stripe we can
not see that his election would menace
the prosperity Of Georgia.
However a change in the administra.
/ ton affects the well ordered common.
! wealth Of Massachusetts,, the people OF
| Georgia are happily their own masters,
! and have vindicat their freedom since
they regained it by electing executives
that have kept steadily in view the best
! interests Of the commonwealth. Our con.

tributed too largely towards putting heI
on the plane Of progress to lend

! Henry d. Mcdaniel stands for nothing
that could work to the detriment of GeOr

her attainment Of the proud position she
