Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.


ida and South Carolina.
GEORGIA
Houston Home Journal: The populist
! party in Georgia is good thing for Tom
Watson-he makes money by bossing it.
Barnesville Gazette Tom Watson may
live to see the day when his present fol-
lowers will hate him as they now hate
| Livingston, whom they once adored and
| followed
| Valdosta Times: Wonder If the At
| lanta Constitution would send out one of
its staff to divide time" with Mr. Tur-
ner2 We see that one of them is billed
! for some speeches in the campaign.
Dalton Argus: If Congressman Turner
needed any vindication for his sound
| financial views he could point his critics
| to Alabama, and say, See the death of
IL to silver. and the vindication of sound
money principles"
Oglethorpe Echo: John Temple Graves
should be the last one to ring that old
judges and solicitors ring chestnut. He
| should be made to make the charge ex-
| plicit-say just who belongs t0 it-or shut
up. This is due the Judiciary of the state.
Valdosta Telescope: The Constitution
has read Cleveland, Turner, Gordon and
! all Vi Iil6 real l6dueFS OUT Oh Inc party.
The same paper has read in the populists
| by labelling them dissatisfied demo
crats''-by accepting its place among
them, and by receiving their Endorsement.
! The same paper also called Atkinson out
of the gubernatorial race.
The speech of Mr.. Turner at Decatur
| pleased the editor of the Decatur Record.
He says the speech "was worthy of Mr..
Turner's reputation. His views on the
money question are broad and intelligent,
and he expresses them with a candor and
courage that commends him to men who
| love truth and honesty in politics. He is
an able man-in whom the people can con-
fide their interests with safety. While
we express no preference for United
States senator, we, nevertheless, think
Georgia fortunate in having such men as
H. G. Turner to choose FROM
Gainesville Eagle: There is nobody
suffering about the coinage but the silver
/ bullion barons of the west They want
the free and unlimited coinage of the
product of their mines at a ratio of 16 to
| l. That would give them, over and above
the market value of their bullion, about
80 cents on the dollar of unearned profits.
They would be the real and only benef-
ciaries. The question is, do the people
want to put up such stupendous job on
| themselves in order to swell the already
bloated bank accounts of silver barons?
! Not if they know it. 1t won't be done
under the present administration, nor
probably under any succeeding admins
| tration
| Atlanta Constitution: The Constitution
does not propose that it's position shall be
misunderstood. While we believe that
the ratio of 10 to would maintain the
| equality Of the coined dollars of both gold
and silver, and have the most substantial
reasons for that belief, the Constitution
maintains with the Democratic party and
with the party's candidate for governor,
that the ratio is merely an incident in the
restoration of silver to its old place as
part of the standard money of the coun-
| try. In other words, the ratio is matter
of detail that is within the scope of sim
pie legislative adjustment. The demo-
! cratic policy is too broad, too comprehen-
! sive and too vital to be hampered with
controversies about the ratio that have no
real bearing on the question at issue.
FLORIDA.
Pensacola News: Ex-senator Borden
of Sumter, whose term as a demo
cratic CD senator has just expired. is now
a candidate for reelection on the populist
ticket. "One by one the roses fall"
Fernandina News: The anxiety Of the
CORPORATION press of our beloved state to
discredit Senator Call is both amusing
and significant. They are fully aware of
his influence with the "wiregrass" demo-
Gratis of the state, and have the consola-
ton of knowing that it is largely due to
the abuse that has been thrown upon him
by such corporation agents as Col. Chip

nize the right of West Florida to object

SOUTH CAROLINA
Columbia State: Senntor Butler tells
the State that so far as he is informed,
the story that Messrs. Gorman Crisp and
Cochran would stump South Carolina in
his behalf is oaseless They have not
been invited 10 Go so. nor have they vol
