THE SCRAMBLE BEGUN.
Augusta Democrats After the PIums, Big
and Little.


AUGUSTA, November 11.--Hardly had
the election of Cleveland been assured
when a scramble for the offices began
among the Democrats of Augusta. The
post Office, which is the best plum, pay
ing as it does over $4,000, is the most COW
eted, and candidate appears daily.
Mr.. Fred w. Plaisted, editor and pub
Usher of the New Age, has the lead, and
is receiving support from majority of
the party. His friends claim that his
services in the last campaign entitle
him to the Office, his paper making a
square, stand-up fight and being a pow
erful factor in the interest of the De-
mocracy.
Mr. Thomas J. Lynch is another aspi-
rant and is backed by Col. @. B. Morton.
who says he shall have it. Mr. Lynch,
however. was assistant postmaster dur
ing Cleveland's administration when the
post office was managed in manner
unpopular with both Democrats and Re-
publicans. Mr.. Lynch is urged as vim
dication of Postmaster Fowler. Both
these Young men have petitions in circu-
lation, leaving no stone unturned to Sc
cure support. Rodney B.:Capen, B. F. Par
rott, Dr. K. J. Martin and NJ S. Holway,
Esq, are also mentioned.
The fight is developing into one of
much bitterness. Col Morton, who is
supposed to stand very near to Mr.. Cleve-
land, is said to want the appointment of
Consul at Liverpool, one of the best pay
ing places in the gift of the government
which is now filled by Thomas Sherman.
Mr.. Thomas F. Murphy. another local
Democratic politician, is looking for a
place, but will only accept one which
pays a good salary

A PROHIBITION SPEECH.

f. j. sibley, of Georgia, Talks on the
Coming Election.
f. j. Sibley, of Georgia, made a pro-
hibition speech last night at the court
house to about $50 people, including
ladies and children. The meeting was
held under the auspices OF the Prohibit
ton Club, and Chairman Rhodes pre-
sided.
At the opening of the meeting Rev.
ID. q. Garrison, OF the Christian Church,
offered prayer, afterlwhich he in PRODUCED
the speaker of the evening.
The gist of Mr.. Sibley's argument was
that the only real issue OF the cam paign
is the suppression of the liquor traffic
There were two parties, he said, the
Prohibition and the anti Prohibition, the
latter running in three sections. He
asserted that such issues as the tariff,
force bill and tho financial questions
had no real existence as divisors Of pu b.
lie opinion, but that they were fictitious
and cut to fit by politicians
He declared that there were no real
differences in the three parties opposed
to his own, and that the Republic ans
are for free trade while the Democrats
must favor high tariff for revenue. He
said that the Republican party has no
intention to pass force bill, and that
they will enact no such legislatio il
they should win the Presidency and the
next Congress two to ono.
MIR. Sib|ey evidently spoke to sym
pathetic audience for he was literally
applauded At tho close OF the speec h
1T was announced that the club will
hold meeting a make arrangements
for work on election day.
1t was also announced that Prohibit
ton tickets would oe at the polling
places and an appeal was made to all
Prohibitionists to work on election Law
for their party.
The Democratic campaign managers
concede that the Bidwell electoral
ticket will receive 100 votes in this city.

THE supreme court of Michigan has de-

congressional districts Instead of the sens

There is nothing IN the constitution 10

inference, in fact, would be that as they

about Taxing Dogs.

An Augusta gentlemen declares his in
tention to test the question whether a
town or city has right to tax dogs. He
admits they have n right to license them,
charging a specific sum for the same; but
when You come to taxing it is different.
he says Taxation should rest a basis
upon the value of the thing taxed; and
when n uniform tax of one dollar is put
upon every dog, regardless of value, it is
altogether illegal, argues this gentleman,
as no attempt is made to fix the valuation
of the thing taxed, the same amount of
tax being put upon the worthless cur as
upon dog worth fifty or one hundred dol
lars. 1t is likely that the courts will be
called upon to settle the question, which
several of our correspondents have raised
with considerable earneStness. 1t seems
to make people as indignant to tax their
dogs as it would to kick them.-Lewiston

John Bull is not a sentimental person.
He takes life as he takes his toddy o VIM

justice. he gives year of hard labor to
the man who steals loaf. and lets off a
wife beater with two shillings, because
honest fellow as he :s-be has no senti-
ment TO waste on wives, whereas the
rights of property must and shall be re-
spected. he is not sentimental in his
army and navy. Jack Tar and Tommy
Atkins could tell some selfish stories If
they chose, of bad rations and worse
treatment. These worthless do tell their
grievances pretty freely and Mr.. Lsbou
cher prints 'em in his Truth newspaper
But the publication does not greatly dis
turb John Bull, who has his own notions
of what is due TO soldiers and sailors and
