GOING TO WORK.

In the issue of the FLoRIpIAN of No
vember Goth appeared an editorial urging
the immediate reorganization of Demo-
cratic Executive Committees, National.
State and county, for the campaign of
1922, having in view the thorough edu-
cation of the masses Of the people in
every section of the country on the sub.
iect of Tariff Reform-the issue of the
next, as it was of the recent campaign.
We have not heard that any sectional
committee has begun its work, and the
natural inference is that all will wait
until. the national committee wakes up
and begins preparations for campaign
work-say about August 1892.
Meantime the Executive Committee of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs, doubtless without knowing that
there exists such a newspaper as the Flo
RIDIAN,) has struck upon the identical
idea, and is pushing it with vigor that
promises much for Democratic success
four years hence.
This committee has issued an address
to the 5000 Democratic clubs associated
in its organization, which contains the
following apt and striking declarations:
Had the active club organization of the De.
mocracy permeated the agricultural districts AZ
well, Cleveland and Thurman would have had
an electoral as well as popular majority The
honest and intelligent farmers, who suffer the
most and gain the least from the present excess
OF taxation, would have come forward In blocks
OF fifty to meet the mercenary and unpatriotis
foaters in their blocks of five.
1t goes on to declare that to win the next
campaign, which will be conducted on the same
issues as in the one just closed, it will be neces.
sary to fight the whole field from Maine to
California as holly as New York, New JERSEY.
Connecticut and Indiana were fought this YEAR"
The next struggle for control of the National
Government will begin, not in 1892 but in the
Congressional and Legislative elections of 1890.
Let the Democratic clubs and societies step for
ward and with An active, earnest volunteer ma
lltla and oppose the paid standing army of our
opponents 7naugurating Immediately the agita-
ZION OF our great principles and continuing il in
every voting district for the next four years.
A meeting of the General Committee of the
ASSOCIATION is to be called at an early day. 1t
hoped that before that time there will be at
least one active club or society in every county
OF the Union couseientiously at work Until
that meeting the Executive Committee will
maintain its business Office at No SO William
street, New York CITY. and all communications
which 1t receives will be promptly attended to.
The Columbus Enquirer. Sun says: "Ths
Tribune of Rome firmly believes that the Chat
tanOoga Rome and Columbus road will soon
become part of great through line between
the West and South Atlantic and Florida ports.
This is more than probable Before that road
ga ly ho
this city, the Columbus Southern will have been
finished to Albany. The Legislature has grant
e,i this road charter to extend its line on to
Florida, and as the men who have the matter
IN charge are in earnest, It's early extension in
that direction NAV be confidently expected.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus South
ern will form an almost air line from Chattanoo.
