/ ing to the terrors of the heated term in
! New York by his vigorous pulpit cam
paign against Tammany.
| According to The Evening World, Mr..
Dixon defies ''the henchmen and hire
lings'' of Tammany to put him in prison.
He is ''as ready to serve his God in the
penitentiary as in the pulpit" Mayor
Grant he denounces as ga self-confessed
criminal" the police are the friends and
protectors of crime and criminals, and
Tammany Hall Democrats are political
thugs" and "rum-soaked, licentious vio-
lators Of law"
THERE was in the Georgia Glimpses"
of THE News, last week, an item stating
that the editor of the Fort Gaines Her.
aid had published a notice warning the
saloon keepers not to sell him liquor.
The editor of the Herald says he has
published no such notice, and that it
was probably printed by E. H. Grouby,
who has been dead several years. THE
News saw the item going the rounds OF
the press, and published it merely as a
matter of news, We are glad to know
that the item is not true, and we take
this opportunity of putting our brother
down at Fit. Gaines in the right light.
WE could admire the persistency with
which the anti-Cleveland members of the
Georgia delegation stood out against the
popular choice to the last ditch. if thew
had been sent to Chicago to contend for
their individual preferences. But thew
went in representative capacity. They
represented the Democracy of Georgia.
which, standing in the line with the rest
OF the country, overwhelmingly favored
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. We
trust, however, that these gentlemen are
reconciled to the result.
Mr.. HILL has been held up bv his
friends as postmaster in politics, but
his political plans were blunders from
the first. The verdict of the convention
must be that Mr., Hill cannot be classed
with the great American statesmen. nor
can he be given place in the list of
great American politicians. He is sim
ply ''a Democrat and with that he and
MS trends must be content for the pres
ent.
II develops from a statement made by
Mr. Whitney that Mr.. Cleveland declin-
ed to permit his name to be us d before
the Chicago convention until he knew
what platform was to be adopted. Bv
request of Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Whitney
kept him informed by wire of the prin-
cipal planks as adopted in the plat
form.
The New York Sun has declared for
Cleveland and says "better vote for the
devil if he were a candidate than for Har-
rison with force bill in hispocket." The
devil is not candidate this year. and if
he were in the race he would be on the
Republican ticket. But the position of
the sun is encouraging.
OEoRGIA's reputation as freak produce
ing state has been upheld by Mare ccun-
in the produc lion of an alligator bow"
She has heretofore produced a number
Of men capable of weeping crocodile
tears, but none of them were "on all
tours like this Ware county oddly.
No party built on platform of class
VS., class, and whose stock in trade is
/ abuse and denunciation. can succeed in
this country. 1t will vanish as soon as a
few soreheads can have time to cool
their feverish br0ws.
IN our glutted fruit and vegetable
market, we are reminded that there are
not enough people in Dawson to make
our industrious farmers happy. There
is nothing better than big town to
make farming pay
SEVENTEEN of the Georgia delegates
voted for Grover Cleveland, among them
Messrs. Griggs and Triplett, the dele
gates from this district Five of the
remaining nine voted for Hill and four
for German.
