POLITICS IN THREE STATES.
Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.


Valdosta Telescope: No wonder the
people of North Georgia are rallyiug
around Turner. His is the kind of democ-
racy that the people up there heard in
the days of Hill, stephens and Toombs.
GAINESVILLE Gazette: Hon. Henry G.
Turner is a democrat of whom Georgia is
Justly proud, and the attacks which have
recently been made on him have only
added to his popularity among the people.
Houston Home Journal: Hon. Charles
f. Crisp is so firmly intrenched in the
political and personal esteem of his con-
stituents that it is scarcely necessary for
him to make any speeches in the Third
district, and he will serve the state-at-
large during the campaign. He will get
the biggest majority
Macon Telegraph: How do the hard
working populists of Georgia relish the
idea of paying to northern pensioners
nearly 81 800 900 of their hardly earned
wealth, That would be about Georgia S
share of the money required TO meet the
expenditures provided in the pension bills
introduced in congress by populists.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: 1t is impossi-
BILE to believe that any considerable num-
Der of people of Georgia, after hearing
the truths of democracy from the lips of
scores of the best known and most highly
respected men in the state would willing
ly tura from them to accept the false doc
trines and the empty promises of the pop
ullst agitatOrs, who have nothing behind
them and less before them. The October
election will demonstrate now many peo-
pie of that class live in Georgia.
Atlanta Constitution: Georgia is freer
than certain other states from the evils
of corruption and intimidation in cleo
tions, but we should get rid of the last
vestige of them. Any interference with
fair ballot is a crime and its conse-
quences may be of untold magnitude
The work of reform has been auspiciously
inaugurated and the democrats should
push ii to successful completion. AS
the party of the people, it is the mission
of the democrats to make it absolutely
certain that the voters of this state shall
have fair ballot and an honest count
everywhere.
FLORIDA
Jacksonville Metropolis: The receipts
Of lumber, phosphate and other freights
reshipped from Florida ports shows up
immensely, and yet the independent or
gans declare these ports are being ruined
by shipments of Florida products TO
Brunswick ana Savannah for export. A
false issue never won a victory.
Tampa Times: The Pensacola Times
says: we want direct trade with Europe
and the outside world. We will never
get it until we get moro railroads con
Meeting Pensacola with the abundant re
sources of the northwest And vet In
ia the yeryneXt column 10 that IN which
the above statement was made. the Times
makes a bitter attack on the railroads of
Florida and calls IL. b. Plant and II. NJ.
Flagler land sharks and spectators; and
says that the work they are doing in this
state benefits no one but themselves. The
display of such spirit is not calculated
TO invite the kindly consideration of CAPT
talsts, and certainly will not bring to
Pensacola the additional railway facili-
ties she desires.
Barlow Courier-Informaut We confess
that it looks a little suspicious that State
Senator James Mckay, who introduced
the lottery bill in the legislature, should
be appointed United States marshal for
the southern district Of Florida, and that
Hon. 5. M. Sparkman, who is said To have
