In 1860 Lincoln was pictured to the
southern people as a tyrant and iend all
that was dishonest and low. Harper's
Weekly helped convey that impression.
To-day the world knows that Lincoln
was as great and good man as ever stood
upon American soil. The Democratic
party and few disaffected ones to
day would have you believe that Blaine
is not man to be trusted. They play
upon the prejudices and speculative
tendencies of the people and lead them
away from the magnificent ability and
grand moral courage of known Blaine
to the speculative nothings and vapory
possibilities of an unknown Cleveland.
In fifty years from now, this will seem
hardly possible, but we have only to
look at the past, at Washington &C
cused Of trying to be king, and Lin
coin accused by "Harper's Weekly"
of wilfully and designingly causing
tie death of twenty thousand Of our
soldiers. Should Blaine die to-day
the world would place him beside Lin
coin and Garfield. In executive abil-
ity and knowledge of affairs of govern
ment he is head and shoulders above
either Of them. No, not in the pres
emit do we appreciate our great men;
seldom dc we nominate them to our
highest offices in our great nation.
This last nomination is an exception.
Let us elect him

The Oshkosh Times has been sold
by G. M. Bright to E. W. Wall and
G. w. Felker- 1t will be continued
as a Democratic paper. G. M. Bright,
the retiring publisher and editor, has
made lively paper. He is a hornet
that always keeps his business end
foremost and dedicated too much
time to berating people and things that
didn't suit him.

About the nth.

We understand that the Democrat.
are charging that the Republicans ap.
pointed a meeting on the 18th tc
embarrass them, knowing that they
were to have meeting on that day.
The charge is utterly untrue. The
following are the facts: w. L. Jones
a leading democrat and treasurer OF
our County Agricultural Society stated
to Mr.. J. d. Witter, president of the
Blaine and Logan Club, that the dem
ocrats were to have public meeting
during the fair. He then invited the
republicans to hold meeting and to
select their day. He did not say or
intimate that the democrats had agreed
on the time for their meeting and the
plain inference from what he did say,
was, that the republicans could select
any day they chose. On the next
day, Saturday Aug. 30th the execu-
tive committee of the Blaine and
Logan Club met agreed on the day or
evening for their meeting, selected
their speaker-Hon. W. T. Price
and appointed a committee to engage
him if possible, and as Mr.. Price was
expected to pass through Centralia on
the morning train of the LIST inst. the
Com. was instructed to see him then
They did so and secured his services
On the same day Mr.. Jones was in
formed of the action taken by the
republicans, and he then for the first
time stated that the democrats had
agreed on that day-the 17th-for
their meeting and had written to their
State Central Committee for speaker
and expected an answer the next
morning. That they had applied for
Gen. Bragg; that the central commit
tee had Informed them that Gen. B.
services could be had after the 18th;
that their congressional convention
was to be held on that day and that
they could not make change in the
time for their meeting. Afterwards,
but on the same day Mr. Witter pro-
posed to Mr.. Jones as way out of
the muddle that they have a joint
discussion. Mr.. Jones replied that he
could not answer until he heard from
Bragg. We add that no member of
the Elk. Com. was aware that the
democrats had selected the 18th for
the meeting until SO informed by Mr..
Jones.

The Dog Catcher on His Rounds-How

The Dog Catcher on His Rounds-How
the Small Boy Gathers in the Quarters
The dog census has been taken, and the
unfortunate CANNES without badges have
been turned over to the tender mercies OF
the city dog catcher. There are in the
neighborhood of 3, 900 dogs in Savannah,
and not over 500 are under the protection
of badge. Dog Catcher Lee Platshek
has begun his rounds, and as the result
of his labors a yelping family of seven
teen lost pets occupied the city pound
last night. The ordinances require that
a tax Of 81 80, including a badge to be
worn on the animals neck attached TO
collar, shall be paid by the owner OF each
dog in the city. A census is taken annually
by the sanitary inspectors, and all dogs
without badges are reported TO the Clerk
of Council, who notifies the owner OF the
non-payment of the tax and the penalty
incurred in violating the ordinance. All
dogs then found without badges are I'M
pounded for 4S hours, during which time
the owner may pay the required tax and
receive a badge emitting him TO the re-
covery of his dog. At the expiration OF
the As hours the ordinances provide that
the unclaimed animals shall be disposed
Of The office of dog catcher is not an
enviable one. ICs duties are not agree
able, but they are imperative. The
premium of % cents on
each dog impOunded is a big
inducement to the average small boy to
gather in any unfortunate canine that
he can get his hands on. In a great
many cases dogs with badges are caught
and the badges torn off. In order to see
that this is not done the city employs
an authorized dog-catcher, who with his
army of assistants attends to the busi-

HOW THEY DID IT.
Atlanta Tells why the Dixies Did Up
the Gate City's Crack Nine.

Atlanta Tells why the D1xies Olu Up
the Gate City's Crack Nine.
The defeat which the Atlantas suffered
at the hands of the Dixies on Tuesday sits
hard on the base ball men of The Gate
City. They don't like it, of course, and
are trying to explain how it was done. 1t
was the Atlantas' first defeat. 1t was ru-
mored, after the game, that it had been
thrown" The Constitution in be-,
half of the Atlantas. denies the charge,
and says they can beat the Dixies easily
when they play their full team. On
Tuesday. it says, ''Russ, second base
man. was in bed most of the day,
and Sleiger, third baseman, was suffering
with a sore hand. Neither of them could
play, and to have forced either of them to
try would have endangered the Columbus
games. 1t was thought necessary to rest
two men for each of the games prior to
the three games with the Stars. Conse-
quently Craig and Whitlock were rested.
This sent the Atlantas to the bat with
four of their regular nine of. Those who
were left on the nine played with the
weakness natural in men who are weakly
supported. For the rest the game was
played for all it was worth, and was won
by a scratch The need of two good reserve
players was felt-and those players had
been engaged and should have been here
yesterday. They arrived last night and will
be ready to take the place of any disabled
or resting men hereafter. We assure the
public now, as before. that no game will
be thrown to the Atlantas or by the
Atlantis with the knowledge or consent
of the management Of the club under any
circumstances. The club was organized
purely for the entertainment of the pub
lie and the building up of a permanent
athletic club. 1t is intended to discOur-
age betting by every possible means, and
no member of the executive board ever
did or ever will stake dollar on game.
The game was a disappointment. The
Atlantas went in with too weak nine,
and the DiXies won by unexpectedly
strong playing and the scratch run OF
a ball under the fence. With the two re-
serves who arrived last night, it will be
able to present always strong team, and
will try to make a record of which Atlanta
will be proud. But base ball is very un-
certain. The best of teams get ratified Oc-
casionally, and there may be disappOint-
ing games in the future. The public may
he assured now and for all that it is the
fixed purpose of the Athletic club to win
as many games as possible for the season,
and they will spare neither trouble nor eX-
| pense to make the record a fine one. Un-
der no condition or contingency Will a
game ever be taken or thrown. The club
will be played in straight, honest games,
and it has no fears of the result of this

The excursion to Warsaw and Tybee
yesterday on the steamer st. Nicholas was
one of the most enjoyable excursions of
the season. The gentlemen having the
affair in charge had all the details ar
ranged perfectly for the comfort and con-

the Episcopal Orphans Home, numbering
about thirty, were on board at the invita-
ton of the committee and thoroughly en-
loved the trip. They were given the
kindest attention, and were furnished with
refreshments by the passengers, who
organized fund for that purpose. The
trip was without incident except that it
was pleasureable one. 1t is understood
that another excursion will be given next
week, and others Will follow, upon each
of which the children of the various char
liable institutions in the city will be
invited in turn. The enterprise is a wQr-
thy one, and cOmmends Itself to the char
liable public.
