4 Hopeless Partisan.
ATLANTA Constitution. 7

Judge Albion W. TOurgce has written a
second article on the Force bill which is as
Respondent as the first.
The Judge believes that the policy ol
force ought to he adopted and adhered Ia
until the South becomes thoroughly recon
structed, but he is ready 10 give up in des-
pair. He had lively experience as car
pet-bagger in North Carolina. and he knows
the spirit and temper Of our people.
After writing columns on the subject u
show that the Government would be lustl-
fed in resorting TO very harsh measures, he
expresses the opinion that Federal cleo
ton law would be an utter failure-thai
the Southern people would find way to gel
around it or make il dead letter. \
The rational inference from all this talk
is that Judge TOurgee thinks that the pro-
posed measure is too mild. What, then
does he want : Would he have the south
ern States turned into military districts
again. placed under martial law ana taxed
to the utmost limit without being represent
cd in Congress
But it makes very little difference what
this extreme partisan wants. The point oi
interest in his deliyeranccs is his utter hope
lessness, and his prediction that the Force
bill will be failure if it becomes law. II
the Republicans are wise the eN-carpetbag
GERS views will convince them that they
are on the wrong track.

As the old Federalist party gave way TO
the Whig party, and that in turn gave way
to the Republican or anti-slayery party
carrying with it portion Of the Northern
Democracy. SO we see before us in the event
Of a great Alliance party, with its controll-
ing centre in the Mississippi valley, new
and peaceful political influence which VIII
sap the vital energy of the Republican party
beyond all peradyenture. And this for the
one simple reason that the one ami
mating motive above all others at the
heart of this new political organization
will be the emancipation Of the farming
class Of the country from the money power.
This will be the party cry Of the crusade
But the new party finds the Republican
party solid to its soul to the money power.
And the present Republican administration,
by its despotism and unquestiOned conspi-
racy against the people in behalf Of the
moneyed class, will leave no ground OF es-

The convention to frame.a new constitu-

on the 18th of this month at Jackson, and
its labors will be watched with great inter-
est by all the people Of the south. The greater
portion of the time and attention OF the con-
vention will be devoted TO the adoption OF
measures which will perpetnate white SUI
premacy for all time to come despite any
laws which Congress may pass 10 destroy II.
The action Of the convention, as
we have said, will be awaited
with great interest by the other southern
states, and the chances are, if the qualif-
cations necessary to the exercise Of sui-
frage are wisely drafted, other conventions
will be called. and such safeguards thrown
around the ballot as will afford ample pro
lection against negro domination in any Of
the Southern States and the political
enemies Of the South will find themselves
powerless TO do her harm.

We have q great deal of admiration
for state auditor Braden. He is withal
man that is frank and honest IN
what he does, and above all open in the
expression of his views. In him there
is nothing that bears the least resemb-
lance to the political trickster. In
seeking office, he plainly states what he
wants, and che nice thing about it is
that he never wants much, He says
that he is not in the race for the COVER
norship, but does expect to be auditor.
If the people think, however, that he is
standing in the way of better man or
that he has had Office long enough, he
is willing, he says, to step aside and
take no great amount of worry over
their decision. Such man we cannot
help but admire. He is of the kind, Of
all, that is certainly deserving of offici-
al position. The people can cast their
ballots for him and know. that they are
voting for a,good and true man.

The defeat Of the silver bill in the
senate is threatened, unless its support
ers uphold the tariff bill, and the latter
is doomed to go under unless its friends
unite with the silver men in giving them
liberal allowances. This is practically
trading votes without regard to the
merits of a measure, and anybody, who
has ever been in legislative body, will
testify that a worse practice hardly ex-
lists. On questions like the silver and
tariff issues, it is especially disgraceful
and dangerous, and adds one more to
the long list of reasons why such mat
tiers, requiring the greatest statesman
ship, should be eliminated from party
politics. A satisfactory adjustment
from the hands of men, who will trade
off their votes on one measure to gain
help on another, is absoI-5sly impossi-
