legislation under which the |
had suffered. They further
agreed that if the party, after gaining
possessions of all of the functions of the
government did not enforce the
pledges made to the people and
prove the efficiency of the democratic
rule in alternating the distress and re-
storing better condition to the coun-
try, that reason would then exist for the
creation OF new party and that they
themselves would not only assent to,
but be themselves the leaders in such a
movement, In view of these assurance
es, which were honestly made by dem
ocratic speakers, solemn responsibility
is thrust upon the administration.
T. If congress meets and then fails to- en-
act Jaws in harmony with the Chicago
platform what will we do in the next
election? How shall we be able to
meet the charges the people will be sure
to bring against us? Georgia fired the
first gun in the democratic campaigns OF
last year and by her sweeping triumph
over all opposition, saved the state OF
Alabama and energized every other slate
in the south In loyal south Georgia,
which has always been true TO the dem-
ocratic party, in spite of the disaffection
which has existed ia the upper part of
the state, there will be division of the
vote which south Georgia will castin the
next election. Unless the party acts in
good faith and along the line of the Chi
cago platform and gives to the country a
positive and beneficial administration,
it will be difficult, if possible, to carry
the state in the next presidential cleo
ton.
South Georgia Has Been Overlooked,
While Georgia has received number
of Offices under the present administra-
ton. if a line should be drawn through
Griffin east and west only few small
offices woald fall in the area of south
Georgia, and not a single one of these
direct-presidental appointment. While
this 5, otion of the state has always been
I1yal and democratic, no small am cunt
of complaint has been heard on accoun
Of this Discrimination. Our people are
beginning to feel sore by reason of being
ignored by the dispensing power OF the
government, and this feeling, ii congress
fails to meet and act in accordance W tn
the faith inspired by the democratic
orators and by the pledges of the Chi
40 platform, will ally itself with the
p lpular discomfort and give the people
in that section disposition to draw
from the old party. There is no lack OF
intelligence on the part of the people OF
south Georgia. Many of the ablest men
in the state are residents of that section
of Georgia and the reasons for ignoring
it are not to be easily explained. If the
pledges of the Chicago platform are re-
deemed the present difficulties will be
adjusted and the financial depression
now existing WILDE coz pletey lifted. "

There is talk of another hunt in

cellent move before the interest of

club. Such a hunt as the one Just
passed, and that proposed could bet
ter be conducted under the direction
of club than is possible outside of
it. We have ample material in La

We have also all the game that is
necessary to make such an organiza-
ton successful There are large
numbers OF ducks and geese here in
season, and there are still rabbits
without number An organization
could at very small expense make
splendid shooting on the north side,
by putting boat or two on the lakes
there, arranging blinds and procuring
decoys. Game here, particularly
ducks and geese, will increase in
numbers with the increase of the
wheat and other grain fields, and
lakes and reservoirs.
Who will take the initiative in the
organization of gun club?

SUDDEN DEATH
or Mr. Louis Pracht, at His Residence,
Last Evening.

or Mr. Louis PTacht, at his hesiuonce,
Last Evening.
Mr.. Louis Pracht, the well known
baker. died very suddenly, last evening,
at his residence, No. 924 Main street,
aged ffty-nine years.
Death came suddenly and quietly,
while Mr.. Pracht was reclining upon
the bed in his bed-chamber, he not hav-
ing ratired for the night, although he
had gone up stairs with his wife a few
minutes previously with the intention
of going to bed. The cause OF death
was very probably some form OF heart
disease, TO which Mr.. Pracht had been
subject for some time, but the physician
summoned last evening could not give
the malady with positiveness.
Mr.. Pracht was about the house as
usual during yesterday, and also out
upon the street. He seemed to be un-
usually cheerful, and in conversation
during the day referred to his approach
ing birthday, as he would have been
fiftY-nine on the coming Wednesday OF
this week, and spoke of the joyous time
he would have with his family and
friends. During the early evening he
was down stairs with his wife and 9TH
ers of the family, but about quarter
or half-past eight he told his wife they
might as well go up stairs 10 bed, and
the couple went to their chamber ac-
cordlngly. Mr.. Pracht lay down upon
the bed, and In few minutes his wife
noticed he was breathing with difficulty.
She asked him what was the matter,
and he responded that IL was nothing,
but expired almost Immediately there
after. The household was at once
alarmed, and messenger was hastily
despatched for DR.. Spragg, but medical
aid was powerless, as life was extinct.
II was about fifteen or twenty minutes
of nine when he expired.
Mr.. Pracht was one of the Oldest Ger
man citizens of Wheeling. He was
born In Hesse- Darmstadt. Germany, and
came to Baltimore with his parents
when about five years Of age. About
1850 Mr.. Pracht removed to Wheeling,
living for several years on Market
street, near Tenth, but about 1854 he
removed to the residence now occupied
by the family at No. 924 Main street.
There he carried on the business oil
baker continuously. Mr.. Pracht was
twice married, the second time October
10, 1857. Mrs. Pracht and two children
survive him, Mr.. Louis Pracht and
Mrs. Henry Weisgerber.
Mr.. Pracht was member OF several
German Societies OF this city, and was
a citizen universally esteemed by very
wide circle of friends. The news Of his
sudden death last evening caused wide
and sincere sorrow.
