! word TO Georgia Voters,

The prospect is that there will be a very
light vote in this state to-day. There las
been no particular effort TO arouse an
interest in the campaign. Hon. Thomas
NJ. Norwood. candidate for Congress in
the First district, and the Congressional
candidates in other districts, have done
about all the campaigning that has been
done.
\ great many people have an idea that
the state is certain to 20 Democratic by a
large majority, and that, therefore, there
is no use for them to bother themselves
about going TO the polls They do not
mean 10 neglect their duty; they simply
thiUk that there is no occasion for them 10
perform it.
It IS not impossible that they may find
themselves mistaken. There is no doubt
that the state will give its electoral vote
To Cleveland and Hendricks. but there
ought TO De some pride IN giving them as
large majority as possible. There Is
another thin. that ought not 70 be for
gotten. 1t is that in most OF the dis
trfcts there are opposition Congressional
candidates. and that extraordinary Efforts
are being made to elect them. There Is
lust the shadow of danger that these
Efforts in on or two instances may sue
coed.
In order to remove all doubt and make
it certain that the entire Congressional
delegation FROM this State will be Demo
Gratis. let every Democrat take time
enough to-day to vote.

The Gladstone Government.

L begins TO look as if there were stormy
times in store for the Gladstone Govern
uent. The London correspondents CT
American papers say that there seems to
he an unexpIainable impression that It's
existence is a matter Of only a very lew
months. The rumOrs from Egypt are Tar
from encouraging. The belief at the best
sources Of popular sentiment in London Is
that WolseIev will not succeed in reaching
KhartOum in time to save it. The loss OF
Khartoum before TIE rescue Of Gordon
would. it is believed. result in the 1pwn-
fall Of the Gladstone Ministry. War is
threatened in South Africa, and the Par
ue!lites are on the war path again on ac-
count Of revelations made at the trial OF
Inspector French in Dublin.
What is to be the future or the franchise
struggle has not yet been fully deter
mined. 1t is said, however, that the
Tories will let the bill 90 through the
House OF Commons without much dis
eussion. and that the House Of Lords will
endeayor to postpone its consideration
until next spring.
The most threatening thing. however,
is the depression in agriculture and COM
merce. It gives a sort OF funeral tone TO
the thoughts Of the people. The gov
eminent understands that bitter politi-
cal struggle and a hungry population
will make a very unpleasant situation to
face.
