Republican, who entered the United
States Senate in 1864, and was re-
elected In 1869, and who took an act
i've part in the reconstruction meas
ures Immediately nfter the war. His
manly declaration disposes of the plea
that the interests of the Republican
party demand the revival of the issues
of the war; But It must also be re-
membered that the great body Of the
Republican Senators. under the lead
ership OF Chandler, who was once re-
iectcl by the Senate for an Office un-
der the Government, took their stand
under the folds of the Bloody Shirt"
and voted in favor of disunion, or its
equivalent, the prescription of the
Southern States "lrom participation in
the judicial determinations Of the high
est court OF the United States.
The confirmation of Mr.. Lamar
does not alter the fact that the Re-
publican party is still welded to the
perpetuation of sectional hate. only
that in the highest legislative body in
the land there were three or four Re-
publicans possessed of sufficient self
respect and courage to resist the pro-
scription policy of their party.
Senator Sherman, the represents
tive Republican of Ohio. has never
lost an opportunity to testify his ar
dent desire to revive the spirit of Sec
tionalism and to grope. ghoul-like,
among dead issues. Senator Evarts,
representing an intelligent, progress
i've Democratic State, through the fa-
vor of an unjust apportionment, shows
himself as destitute of patriotic princi-
pie and Justice as when he consented,
like Sherman, to share with Hayes the
proceeds of National steal. Twenty
six other Republican Senators, includ-
ing the notorious "Bilr' Chandler,
voted in favor of disunion. The or
gans of the party never ceased their
disunion strain since Mr.. Lamar's
name was sent in. Such is the record
made by the party at the beginning
of the Presidential Misrepresentation
of the South and the revival of the is.
sues of the war. The people of the
United States will not forget this rec.
ord when they come to the polls next
November. They do not desire the
issues of the war revived after twenty.
three years. but they recognize the
existence of union and fraternal feel.

GROWING IN STRENGTH.
Leading Republicans 1ndorso tho Presi-
dents Tarif Sentiments.


dents Tariff Sentiments.
Indications abound that the Presi-
dents recommendation in his message
at the opening Of the Congressional
session are meeting with approval in
the highest quarters in the opposition.
Among others Of the party Senator
Allison, of Iowa, who has been taking
vacation among his constituents,
has discovered that Mr.. Blaine's idea
for the disposal Of the surplus is, to
put 1t mildly, grave political mistake.
Indeed, the Iowa Senator is so con-
firmcd in this view that he Informs the
inevitable interviewer that the Blaine
surplus platform will never be accept
ed by Western Republicans.
On the contrary--and bear in mind
that Senator Allison is II possible oppo-
sition Presidential candidatc..~he is
free to say that u great necessity ex-
lists for a revision of the tariff; that
Congress will perforce be compelled to
act in that direction, and that the party
which fails to do its proper share in the
reduction of tariff taxes will be certain
to forfeit popular favor.
This Allison interview may be taken
as this able and popular leaders,
response to Mr.. Blaine's "Paris mes
sage" as the friends of that gentle
man choose to designate the Smalley
document which was so nimbly sprung
OH the Republican party and country.
Nor is Senator Allison the only
prominent opposition leader who puts
himself on record against the theory
of taxing necessities while letting
deletcrious luxuries go free. If Sena-
tor Allison's position is rather one of
opposition by implication, on the
other hand Senator Aldrich's (of
Rhode IsIanO position is one of direct
opposition. In an address to the
Providence Board of Trade few days
ago he makes powerful argument
against the message from the French
capital. He says that all parties are
agreed that the revenue must be re-
duced, and adds: "There is gen
eral feeling among those who have
made a study of the question that the
annual reduction ought to he $780,.

This is direct whack ut the Maine
statesman's plan of dividing big sur.
plus revenue among the States for the
direct benefit of class. But to make
its application more emphatically per.
sonal, Senator Aldrich adds: ''None Of
the propositions to collect a revenue
with view to dividing it among the
States or distributing it by extraordi
nary expenditures is, in my opinion
defensible.

TIE Columbus Southern.


The Buena Vista Patriot Of last
week CONTAINED long article on
the prospects and future sacoess of
the Columbus Southern railroad.
1t stated the road viii not he com~
pieted any further than Dawson,
and gives this for its reason:
II at the Central will ex end
the b, V. & E. road to Columbus
there is but little doubt if any at
this time but that The Cus.et route
will be selected. In this event the
proposed Columbus Southern will
be paralleIed about twenty miles,
which will greatly weaken the
money hackers in that enterprise,
as the Central will 90 right ahead
and complete its new line and get its
business established before the
Southern can possibly be built.
This Will give the Central route
from Columbus to Albany almost
as near as by the Columbus
Southern, and It would. have the
decided aCvm tlge in the handling
OF treight and passengers on account
OF her western connection to Bir-
mingham and am almost direct nor.
thern connection between Colum.

advantages Of the Central the cap,

Central will extend the B. V. & E.

will please remember that the Cen

tolay In the managers OF the Gems

much less expense connect the b

thereby carry out the contract with
the stocF holders of the B. V. &. E.
road who sold out for thirty cents
on the, dollar with the understand,
ing that they were to get connec,

will further remember that tie

Georgiu's Greatest Far
Macon Telegraph ]
Z. l.. RAINEY,

1t is now certain fiat the great
est fair ever seen in GEORGIA vii be
held in Macon next October
President Nolthen has projected
plans for it which will make it be-
yon question the largest and most
comprehensive exposition of Georo
gia's resources on record. He has
secured the hearty cooperation #
the railroads. They VIII transport
free both ways all exhibits. The
entral has agreed to furnish a
car. or cars, for the transportion of
specimen Georgia products to.any
part Of the country. Mr.. Northen
is arranging a sort Of triumphal
tour forthese exhibits and they vii!
probably be seen in a half dozen of
the Northwestern States.
One of the most interesting fear
lures Of the fair will be the compe>
titive contests of the counties. Us.
ually four or five counties have
contended for such premiums, but
we would not be surprised to see
thirty in the list at Macon next
October. Besides the $1,000 pres
MUM offered by the State Agrleul-
tural Society, there will he special
premiums for various groups of
couutieg,som OF which may be larg.
es than the general prize.
Mr.. Northeu has induced the
Farmers Club o: Mcintosh coun,
Is to offer $500 in premiums for
crops raised in that section of tie
State. Mcintosh is small county
and the liherality of its farmers in
this matter will stimulate others to
simillr efforts. It is almost certain
that Chatham, Glynn and Liberty
will 90 into the class with McIn-
tosh, and thus a handsome lot of
speeial premiums will be offered
Some of the enthusiastic farmers of
Glynn say they will offer three
do'ars or every one ru up "
Mcintosh. The counties of Gems
trail and Northern Georgia will not
be outdone by the counties on the
coast. Every part OF the State and
the vast variety of Georgia prod.
ucts will be reprcsentedin the CONF
petitive county displays. The S17,>
900 offered in premiums by the
State Agricultural Society will be
very largely increased by the
amounts offered by various coun-
ties. A county that has confidence in
its own resources and thrift can af-
ford to put up liberal premiums in
the faith that they will be taken
by its own citizens. Mr. Northen
is constantly devising some new
plan to make the State fair more
attractive and more successful than
it has ever been,
