ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.

An Idaho paper recently published the
statement that Farley Williams, Esq, OF
this city, had volunteered to make
speeches in that Territory in favor oil
Dubois for Delegate to Congress Mr..
Williams informs the DEMOCRAT that he
never authorized such a statement. He
says that while he does not endorse the
past course OF Mr., Haley on the Mormon
question, he does approve OF that gentle
mans present position as defined by
himself, and also OF the course OF
the convention which nominated
him. He says he would have to
be convinced OF Mr. Haileys insin-
cerity before he would raise his
voice against him, and as the Democratic
nominee was being supported in Idaho
by gentlemen in whom he (Mr. Will
liams) had the most implicit confidence,
he had reason to believe that they had
assurances that Mr.. HALEY would follow
the course dictated by the platform upon
which he was nominated Believing
from this circumstance that the candi-
date would act squarely by his loyal sup
porters. Mr.. Williams expressed the
hope that he would be elected.

BECOMING ANXIOUS.

The usually conservative and well in
formed Pueblo Chieftain, the Republican
organ OF the united Pueblos in Colorado,
becoming anxious for the fate OF VIM. II.
Meyer, the Republican candidate for
Governor OF that State, flops over from
the usual method OF coercing votes, and
steals Democratic thunder for that pur-
pose as follows:
Let every Republican-especially every
silver epublican-remember that the eyes
of the whole country are turned to Colorado
at this time. If we elect the Democratic
ticket, or even portion of it, the friends of
silver in the western and southern States
will, if they are not entirely disheartened,
be discouraged and compelled to combat
the claims of the gold bug organs that
Colorado, the citadel of silver, has re-
pudiated the white metal"
Wall street will shout itself hoarse over
the defeat of Symes or Meyer, and all the
great anti-silver dailies would proclaim the
Colorado had "repudiated the silver fanat-
ics." 1t is very true that the platform en-
dorses silver and only gives a step motherly
endorsement to Clevelands administration
as a whole, but the enemies of silver will
not print the Democratic platform when
they are claiming a victory for the admins
tration in Colorado. A Democratic victory
in Colorado will be used in every Congress
sional district throughout the east to elect
anti-silver men to the next Congress and
overcome the silver majority in the popular
branch.
Let every friend of silver vote the Repub-
lican ticket. An increased Republican ma
jority in Colorado at this time will do more
to hold up the hands of the silver man in
all of the other States, and insure silver
majority in the next Congress, than any
thing else that can happen.
The opening qualification especially
every silver Republican, ought to be
sufficient to show to the general reader
how lame and impotent is the whole APP
peal. Why Especially every silver Re-
publican?" Why not all Republicans? Z?
For the short and simple reason that
only among Republicans and Republican
journals can be found any enmity to
silver. That Wall street, which would
shout itself hoar5e over the defeat Of
Meyer, is Republican Wall street, that
would sacrifice all before the God OF
gold, and care no more for the good OF
the general people than lor the dirt OF
that street. Every sensible man can see
lor himself that the Democratic party
to . man, in its solicitude for the placing
OF silver where it belongs, does not hest
tate to attack the false position of its own
Administration on the subject, a move
which portends trouble in the national
party ii its object be not speedily accom-
plished, and that is proof II thousand
fold stronger to the thinking mind that
Democrats are the true friends OF the
white metal, than all the specious reason,
ing OF which the Republican press is
capable. The cry OF the gold-bugs that
Colorado" the citadel OF silver, has
repudiated the white metal was the result
OF electing the present Republican figure
head in that State, and can only be given

THE NEW YORK MAYORALTY.

The dispatch that brought the intel
ligence of the acceptance by Abram s.
Hewitt of the nomination OF the Demo-
cracy Of New York for Mayor OF that city,
sounds the death knell Of the hopes OF
Henry George for that position, for sew
eral reasons, chief among which is the
undenable fact that the workingmen Of
that metropolis are Democrats, and with
few exceptions affiliate either with
Tammany or the County Democracy. The
men who have given allegiance to George
by reason OF the sweet sounding OF
his theories, will naturally gravitate to.
ward their former allegiance to Demo.
cratic principles and hold the old time
ascendancy Of the party in that city.
This year is the first time for
many years that the conflicting wings OF
the party have agreed in harmony to sup
port the same candidate, hence his cleo
ton is a foregone conclusion. AS George
opens up his plans and ambitions, the
working masses see the Utopian nature
OF his theories, and the thousands OF work
ingmen who have invested their life's
earnings in small properties in that city
will fight shy OF such dangerous uncer-
tainties, to support the well-tried admin
istration of affairs by the Democratic
party. Henry Georges royal jump at
the very head and fountain of municipal
life in America, to subordinate it to
his crude theories, has happily been
shorn OF its possible success, and all
good men will breathe easier for it.
The great danger OF experimenting
with settled governments to inaugurate
theoretical government in their places,
does hot seem to have dawned upon the
minds of the men who have promised
support to George, but between now and
election day the error Of their judgment
will be made apparent to them and they
will agree that it was best that they were
not successful. 1t is case where the
homely old couplet comes in with ten
thousand-fold force:
'It's better to stay at home with the Devil
you know
Than go out with the Devil you don't know

TIE COLOR LINE.

The DEMOCRAT will print tomorrow
an open letter from General Master
Workman Powderly OF the X. H., which
he wrote to counteract the construction
placed upon his selection OF colored work.
man Farrell to introduce him (Powderly)
to the Convention. Mr.. Powderly, Will,
one stroke OF his pen, now disarms all
criticism, by saying he did not know un-
til after he had been in Richmond several
DAYS, that coored men were not allowed
TO enter theatres and other public places,
save it was in parts OF the building as
signed to their race, and now that the
DEMOCRAT is aware that Mr.. Powderly
was ignorant OF this fact, and that there
was, in sense, social ostracism for col
ored people in all large Southern cities,
it certainly feels that it should not have
attributed the mistake of calling the Con-
vention in Richmond, to that gentleman.
But who would believe that such keen
intellect as that of the General Master
Workman OF the X. of L. could be 80
blind to what is so well known all over
the land? The waving OF the "bloody
shirt and "negro outrages" has been
the stock in trade OF Republican politi-
clans for twenty years past, and all they
ever had TO bank on for the outrages,
was the very natural-whether judicious
or not-dislike which is born in the pres
ent grown generation OF Southern people
TO admit the colored race to an equality
in social standing with them. SO far as
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constu-
ton can work the equality of the colored
man before the law, he has been recog-
nized as equal, but mans house is his
castle, into which the law has no right
TO intrude, when not violated, and South
ern or Northern men have n perfect right
TO regulate their social intercourse TO
suit themtelves, without regard for the
law, so that they in no manner infringe
its commands. The DEMOCRAT holds
that Powderly did right in selecting
whom he pleased to introduce him, but
iilllhb tlit uGbiOI Nio OllCJ ub
it was fraught with trouble to the Order,
and likely to interfere with smooth
working OF the business before the Con
vention. For this reason it was mis-
take, no matter how it was done. For
the third time the DEMOCRAT agrees with
Powderly's action as a matter OF law and
right, and claims that Farrell could
obtain damages from the owners
OF the Richmond theatre ii he
pressed his case, had he been elected !;
but these things are foreign to the vel.
fare OF the X. OF L., and should never
have been brought up at this inauspicious
time. 1t is possible that no paper ever
assailed Powderly for what they assumed
was wrong in his act-save some cranky
or hot-headed fire-eater OF country edi-
tor-but for what was manifestly injudi-
cious at this time, as the X. of l.. is not
in the business OF adjusting so cial ques-
tions in the South, but OF adjusting the
labor question all over the land.

ARBITRATION.

To prove that arbitration between
capital and labor is meeting with favor
among the leading. writer's and thinkers
of the day, we publish the following from
an article by Professor Richard T. Ely, in
the October North american Review:
A permanent "board of arbitration and
conciliation" was first established in Not
tingham, Eng, in 1860, in the glove and
hosiery trade, and its founder was Mr.. A. j..
Mundella, one of those broad intelligent
manufacturers now found SO frequently in
England, who have grasped their position in
society as captains of industry" These
boards have brought peace to the glove and
hosiery and lace trade in Nottingham, and
have done almost as much for the iron trade
in the north of England, while they have
achieved praiseworthy results in mining and
other industries. The favorite constitution
of the boards is similar to that in France,
save that an umpire is chosen by the repre-
sentatives of the workingmen and their en-
ployers, and no president or vice-president Is
appointed by Government. The umpire is
generally some one not connected with the
trade, whose decision is final in case the
representatives of the parties cannot come
to an understanding without his aid. Men
we'll known as unpires are Mr.. Thomas
Hughes, Sir Rupert Kettle, Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain and Sir Thomas Brassey.
If honest employers and honest working
men are brought nearer together we may
hope that both classes will learn that their
interests really run parallel in many respects
even if they are not always identical-and
that they will learn that it will accrue to
the decided advantage of both to unite all
their forces and turn them against the enc
mics of society; the robbers of all degrees;
the pirates of every rank who prey alike
upon labor and capital; the theoretical An
archists in the lower walks OF life who would
overthrow our institutions and demolish the
accumulations of centuries; the yet more
dangerous practical Anarchists in the higher
ranks who actually do trample the laws and
constitutions under their feet and defle the
purity of justice at its very source.

UNITED STATES TREASURER JORDAN
intimates that he has been misrepre-
sented by the friends OF silver. He says
there are now in circulation sixty mil
lions OF standard silver dollars, as com
pared with thirty-nine millions outstand-
ing two years ago. This, he thinks, is a
pretty good showing for Treasurer who
has been called an agent Of the gold-bugs,
the enemy of silver and the creature OF
the national banks. He ascribes the
large output OF silver to the policy of the
Treasury Department in Withdrawing all
one and two-dollar bills from circulation,
and the demand for money OF small de-
nomination caused by the increased busi-
ne's Of the country.

The Bulletin of the State Board of
Health for January calls attention to
the fact that twenty-six counties in the
State have failed to organize County
Boards according to the requirements
OF an act passed by the forty-fourth
General Assembly, April 9Th. 1885.
Montgomery county is among these
twenty-six. DR.. D. F. Wright of this
city, who is a member of the State
Board, called on Judge Tyler to find out
why the matter had been DELAYED in
this county and ascertained that the
law OF 1885 was in conflict with a pre-
viouS law which it failed to repeal and
consequently, of no effect. Judge
Tyler will have the Jail physicians make
the required report to the State BOARD

CARSON CUTS THE BARS.
An Attempt to Break Jail Nipped in the
Bud.


A discovery was made Thursday morn.
ing that the man named Carson who was
arrested for stealing a coat from Mr.
Kelly some time ago, had sawed assun-
der two OF the iron bars to iail
window and would have escaped if he
had not been carried to the penitenti-
airy Thursday morning.
When carson was notified last night
that he would go to Nashville to-day he
said to Mr., Gus Moody:
eff you hadn't come here would
have been out before now.'
Glow would you have made it?'
inquired Moody.
81 have got two of them bars sawed
in two," Carson replied.
Moody thought this was mere braga-
docio, but this morning he and Mr..
John LeMaster examined the bars and
found that the statement was true.
The bars had been sawed so smoothly
that 1T was almost impossible to detect
the fact with the eye.
Before Moody went into the cell Car
son and LeMaster and lunatic were
its only occupants. LeMaster was al
lowed to stay in the Office during the
day, sometimes for an hour or so and
it is supposed that Carson got in his
work during his absense. The instru-
ment with which the work was done
has not been found. Mr.. Rollow had
the bars repaired this morning.
Carson is noted crook and it is said
that he has spent several terms in diff
ferent penitentiaries.
He was in GAINESVILLE only 81 hours
before he was arrested.
