BY the time the priest had got up, they

The Opposition to the Caucus.

II is stated on reliable authority that
the anti-Cleveland democratic members
elect to the general assembly are opposed
to the proposition made by the Morning
News and other democratic journals. that
there be a democratic caucus to decide
upon candidates for the various Offices TO
be filled by the Legislature.
This opposition to caucus means that
these so-called democrats. who have done
all in their power to give aid and COM
fort to the populists and republicans, are
ready and willing to accept the help OF
the opponents of the democracy Of Geor-
gia in eleeting their favorites to Office,
and especially TO the United States sena-
torship.
It means that the gentlemen who have
been speaking in favor of free silver,
and who, until recently have been pro-
tectionists. will if the plans work out,
be given the Offices with the aid Of popu-
list votes in preference TO democrats who
have stood squarely upon the Chicago
platform.
1t is the duty Of every democratic mem
Der of the general assembly who desires
the success Of his party and the triumph
of the only principles which can save the
country from political and financial dis
aster. to demand a caucus and to see
that the men who are put into Office are
democrats in spirit and in truth. No
weak and wishy-washy man, who is pro-
fessedly a democrat, but practically
populist on financial questions and a re-
publican on the tariff, should have an
opportunity to get what he is not en-
titled to by means of combination of
sore-headed democrats and persistent
populists.

October.

From the Boston Transcript.
This is the golden season of the year!
In large profusion round appear
The varied products of the ground;
And plenteous stores
Enrich the thrifty farmers floors,
Crammed through the windows and the
doors.
The earth. exhausted sinks
Into "A dreamy languor and repoSei
The flower no longer grows
Mid stalwart grasses by the river
Drinks.
The trees stand musing on the hill.
And like a sluggard creeps the drowsy
Thou mighty matron sleep!
We would not have thee raise thy weary
Till winters driving tempests sweep
And drift d snowy mantle DER thy bed.
Sleep on, and take thy rest!
For teeming nations dwell upon thy
And look to thee for next years daily

Along the winding side-hill road
nv choking crowding oxen drawn,
Rolls creaking down the huge potato
And creeps along the shaver lawn.
on either hand
The yellow pumpkins lie,
Sprinkled about the half-denuded land,
Suggestive of a delicious pie,
Whose charms home-bred, hungry soul
cannot withstand.
The cabined schoolboy, on uneasy seat,
BY slow degrees
Prepares his dreary lesson to repeat;
While through the glass he sees
How gorgeous are the forest trees,
With soldier plumes all red and bright,
And crimson ensigns in the air;
And dreams with mad delight.
How nimble squirrels frolic there;
Half thinks he hears the walnut on the
leaves
Let go their hold.
Like lamps Of gold.
And for the woody mazes all day grieves.

The Eight for oonEressmen.

The vote cast in this congressional dis
trict at the late state election proves that
the populists have captured a large part of
the negro vote. How they succeeded in
doing so is well understood. Promises
were made where they would accomplish
the purposes. and threats where they
would not. It is probable that promises
had more to do with the success of the
populists than their threats.
The democrats Of this district now know
the strength of their opponents and their
methods. and it will be the fault of the
democrats if the populists succeed in in
creasing their vote There should be a
thorough overhauling of the democratic
organizations in the several counties. so
that a fun vote may be brought out for
Mr.. Lester.
Every populist congressman from the
south means one less vote for democratic
measures. and one more vote for the re-
pUblicans. 1t is time for all who have
the interest of the state at heart to be
up and doing. There is an enemy in the
field that is more subtle than their olu
foe. the Republican party, and that is
ready, in order to carry out their wild
theories, to go hand in hand with the
negro. When the populist party has used
the negro, they will throw him over like
the republicans have done. The fight is
to be made on all democratic congress-
men. and Mr.. Lester, Notwithstanding his
good record and personal popularity, will
be no exception.
