GEORGIA.
Marietta Journal: Col. Oscar Brown
of Banks county is out in a long letter in
which he renounces the populist party
and takes his place in the Democratic
party again. He says there is no hope of
the third party ever getting into power.
Columbus EnqUirer-Sun: If some of
the eloquent stump speakers will devote
part of their time to impressiug upon the
people the importance of adopting the
constitutional amendment for an increase
OF the mum Der of supreme court justices,
they will effect a great deal more sub
stantial benefits in the state campaign
than in long-winded discussions of the
ratio.
Gwinnett Herald: If Mr. Clay of the
executive committee agrees with the Con-
stitution ION the silver question his
views have materially changed since he
spoke in Gwinnett. The Atlanta Journal,
Macon Telegraph end SAVANNAH News
will have to be read out of the party. But
who is to do this reading out? Who
clothed the minority with authority to
read out the majority
Atlanta journal: The political situa-
ton in Mcintosh seems to be mixed The
democrats are making herculean efforts
I to elect Capt. Joe Mansfield, their regular
nominee to the House. He is a prosper
Gus merchant of Darien and popular
man His opponents are Hon. Charles II.
| Hopkins, who was member of the last
| House and who is running as an indepen-
| dent, and Lectured Crawford, colored,
| the republican nominee, who has also rep
/ resented Mcintosh. Many of the negroes
/ will vote for Mansfield.
FLORIDA.
| Ocala Capitol: 1t is now said that Sen
ator Call was favora BILE to Wilson's ap-
| pointment if Wilson would allow the
senator to name the deputies This MIR.
! Wilson refused to do. Calls tactics were
TO have these men in the field to work for
Call.
Jacksonville Metropolis; The work
now being done here by rail
roads will amount to over a million
dollars, and this and other work contem-
plated will give poor men employment for
years-not for one week before election
and by every hook and crook have the in
| dependents here tried to stop this work,
| when they knew the labOring men and
mechanics would be the greatest suffer
| ers. Jacksonville men are employed in
! all portions of the state on railroads
! How many have been employed by the
| present city government since it came
into power fifteen months ago.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Greenville News: The refawn party in
South Carolina started with Tillman, Irby
and Shell; why not start the new "Ligh t
in the West" party with Teller, Tillman
and Jones This is certainly more ca
| phonious trio than the former.
Columbia State: After the adjourn
/ Of don, Ooro Z 10 oa,,o,e ovd 81,
assembling of the convention Yesterday
morning Senator w. ID. Evans. president
Of the state alliance, who had been inter
ested enough to stay up until 3 a. m, had
a little chat in the convention hall. He
! said that there was no objection to stand
ing on both democratic and Ocala plat
forms, putting, however, "one on top of
the other The reply was made: Yes,
the Ocala platform on top of the demo-
cratic platform, your party standing on
the Ocala platform ard stamping the
| democratic platform'into the mud"
News and Courier: We take it for
granted that the democratic executive
committee selected by the democratic con-
vention on Monday night will issue a call
without delay for the reassembling of that
body and that there win be two full tick
cts in the field at the general election IN
November, This will mean a short, sharp,
decisive campaign, but campaign which
should be, and we hope will be, conducted
without bitterness or violence The issue
in the struggle Will be the issue of demo-
cracy, not democracy as interpreted and
twisted out of shape by the teachings of
Ocala and Omaha, but democracy as set
forth in the declarations of the National
! Democratic party at Chicago, and as in
! terpreted by Grover Cleveland. 1t will
be question of principles, not question
of spoils.
