The Baltimore Sun says-Since the over.
whelming Democratic victory in Georgia sew
eral of the third party leaders in that state
have abandoned that organization and an
nounced their return to the Democratic fold.
The indications are that by the November
election there will hardly be corporal guard
of third party men in Georgia. The effect of
of the Georgia election is also being felt in
Alabama, where the Democrats are daily re-
ceiving accessons from the third party ranks,
despite the combined efforts of Capt. kolb,
lately defeated for Governor, and Chris. Ma
gee. AN adroit Republican politician from
Pennsylvania, to form a combination to de-
feat the Democrats. Alabama is Il Demo-
cratic state and will prove it in November.
James Mcdonald, of Fredericksburg, Va,
heretofore Il staunch and prominent Republi-
can. announced last Saturday that he would

the attempt to lead the Republicans into the
third party camp has its influence.

the chairman of the first Republican conven-

an ardent and tireless worker in the ranks of
the g. o. p. for many years. He says the
principles under which Harrison and Reid
are running are hollow mockeries. He says
the Democracy is the party that will do the
people the most good, and he is going to
work for it.
I Albert r. Leeds, Professor of Chemistry in
Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken
/ n j.. has renowned the Republican party
and will henceforth support the cause Of De-
mocracy. Prof. Leeds declares that his affil
iations with Republicanism has been constant
throughout his life. ne has stood by the g.
o. d. and fought for it as long as its aims and
I J,,;,t nd for tho national
good But in his mind the day when those
traits dominated has passed. The future
safety and development of the nation, he

Piles of the Democratic party. Being an hon
est and conscientious man he follows his con-
victions.
Judge Hare, of Oregon, was nominated by
the Republican convention of the state as one
of the Presidential electors at large, but has
declined to accept the nomination for reasons
which he states as follows: ''You (the Re-
publican party have passed high tariff laws,
as You claim, for the protection OF labor, yet
within the last six months | have seen more
than $50 manufacturing establishments re-
duce the price of labor Of their workingmen.
You have expended $i00,000,000 of surplus
left by Mr.. Cleveland's administration, and
now there are SIC, 900 or more of a def
cheney staring us in the face, which the peo-
pie must pay. The whole care of the Repub-
lican party seems to be to legislate in favor
of rich corporations at the expense OF the
laboring poor of the country. Permit me to
decline the nomination and to extend a chal-
lenge to any and all Republicans in the state
to refute these statements In the future !
shall act in opposition to the principles
have supported for the last few years.
