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


Valdosta Telescope: Senator Patrick
Walsh is a big-hearted fellow, brave and
honest, but he hasn't had both feet on the
platform long enough to be of superlatiye
service TO the democracy.
Gainesville Courant: The third party
has risen up to play into the hands of re-
publicans in the south, as a hydra headed
monster to obstruct. oppose and deter
democTatic accomplishments. Should
they gain a victory in one election they
are nerved for new conflict and encour-
aged TO further efforts to thwart demo-
cratic purposes. Rally to the Larty and
give them drubbing that will prove a
lesson deep and riasting.
Augusta Chronicle: The advocates of
silver will try to educate the masses,
within the party lines, so that they can
not be misled. If they want the free and
unlimited coinage of silver they will de-
mand that it be an explicit plank in the
next party platform. If they do want it,
that will be an end of the matter. But
in the meantime we beg our gold-standard
contemporaries not to read US out of the
party. We think we are good democrats,
and we are in the party to stay as long as
it continues TO be the party of the people
and constitution.
j. L. Sharp, the colored editor of the
North Carolina Herald (rep.), gives this
sensible advice to the colored people of
Georgia THE candidates for governor
of Georgia are w. Y. Atkinsonl democrat,
and Judge Hines, populist. 1t is said that
the republicans will not have nominee.
1t is earnestly hoped that the colored
people of Georgia will not support the
latter, as the third party is not reliable,
and II II gets IN power will prove a draw
back generally. MIR. Atkinson, demo-
crat is not devoid of conservative prin-
ciples. He is man of great executive
ability, and if elected will no doubt fill
the Office satisfactorily"
Atlanta Journal: In Augusta, the ac-
tion of Jasper county in expressing its
first choice for Bacon and second for
Walsh, is taken to indicate that Bacon S
friends do not expect him to benominate
on the first two or three ballots. This
has much elated Walsh's friends, who
believe that when the dissolution of the
Bacon forces begins, the greater portion
of his strength will go to the Augustan
They argue that if Bacon's friends in
Jasper had expected him to be nominated
they would have never expressed any
choice for Walsh, after Bacon was out of
the way. Mr.. Walsh's Richmond county
IflenuS DelleNe JnaJ ne is gaming strength
rapidly and announce that he is in the
race to stay.
Macon Telegraph; The legitimate re-
suit of the fooling of the populists with
negroes is seen in Chattahoochee county.
There are two white candidates for sheriff
in that county, one a democrat, the other
a populist. The white vote of Chattahoo-
chez is pretty evenly divided. Now a
negro announces his candidacy for the
office of sheriff and if those of his color
rally to his support, as they may. he
stands mighty good chance of election,
for of the SO2 polls in that county SOB were
negroes. What has happened in Chatta-
hoochee is liable to happen in every
county in South Georgia unless the popu-
lists are buried under such majority
next Wednesday that they will conclude
to 60 out of business.
