Cedartown Standard: The disastrous
effects on all states which have been IN
fortunate enough TO fall under the control
of the pOpulists, should be sufficient IN
itself to bring out every democratic vote
next Wednesday. Georgia cannot afford
to take any risks on pOpulistic control,
with the bitter experience of Kersas and
Colorado before her eyes.
Pensacola Cr1aJ News: Hon. Pat
Walsh, who is the most dangerous com
petitor Of Hon. Henry c. Turner for the
nOut.natlOn of United states senator from
Georgia, has been making some speeches
in which he shows himself to be unsound
on the currency question. Mr.. Turner'S
well known adherence TO the principles
of the party, both OIL the tariff issue and
the currency question, has made his cam
paign a series of brilliant trlumphs before
the people. Mai. Bacon is objected to be-
cause of certain letters Of his extaut-one
in favor of protection and the other en-
dOrsing the farmers alliance sub-Jreasury
plan.
Waynesboro True Citizen: A negro
orator spoke a few days ago openly at
Green's Cut. hired by the populists to ex-
cite his color against the Democratic
party. The harangue consisted of the
vilest abuse of the white people of this
country. 1t would be indecent to publish
the language used. 1t will do no particu-
lar harm just now that we can see, but it
opens the door to those kind of speeches
which many negroes delight to hear, and
it will eventuate in trouble. One of the
was present, in whose interest he seems
to have opportunely arrived, and instead
of rebuking it encouraged it. AS this
kind of work only serves to excite the dis
gust of good white people, whether popu-
list or democrat, we leave it to be passed
upon by those who cast ballots to pre-
serve good and wholesome condition of
society.
FLORIDA.
About 525 ballots were taken for various
causes in the convention at Braidentown
last week.
Among the voters Of Manatee county
619 have paid their poll tax. The very
large number who have not are debarred
from voting.
Sumter Timesk Next Tuesday will
witness the political death of Ex-Sena-
tor St. Clair A brams, and few will be the
mourners at the funeral prye of public
condemnation. This is a bad year for
indendents in Florida. Florida is demo-
cratic state.
Fort White Ht raid: Everybody will
be glad when theelection is over and the
political racket ceases. The closing of
the polls will sEnce the voice of many an
enthusiastic poEttcian. The great mass
of the people very wisely keep cool and
attend 10 their business and leave the
over-enthusiastic politicians to do the
talking and tell how much they don't
know.
st. Augustine Press: The only fear
that the democrats of Florida entertain
is that men who belong within the party,
but who have refused to accept the
great democratic principle of majority
rule, may lead enough voters astray to
make the result in several counties I'M
certain. Right will prevail, however,
and if all good democrats do their duty
on election day the party will triumph.

Leesburg Commercial But little at
tention has been given by the state press
TO the constitutional amendments that
will be submitted to the people on Oct.
2, for Cheir ratification or rejection The
JOINT resolutions proposing these amend
ments were adopted by the legislature of
1893, and will be found duly advertised in
this paper. Article " proposes to throw
upon each county the cost of its own
criminal prosecution. This is one amend
ment that finds general favor and will no
doubt be ratified. Article will deprive
of the suffrage all foreigners who have
declared their intention of becoming citi-
zens, but who have been unable to take
out their final naturalization papers
because they have not been resident of
the United States for five years. This
appears TO be retrograde measure that
Is illadvised and uncalled for in this state
where the class of immigrants is generally
possessed Of the means and education TO
make them welcome and useful citizens
The amendments, if adopted. will cost
South Florida several hundred faithful
democratic votes and should therefore be
rejected. Article VI proposes TO apportion
the money collected for school purposes
among the several counties in proportion
TO the average attendance upon schools in
the SAID counties respectively This
amendmeut has been intelligently dis
cussed by the state press and generally
condemned. IL is not believed that the
people will deem it wise to ratify it at
the polls.
