Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.
GEORGIA.
cambridge Democrat: There is no
doubt as to where Congressman Turner
stands. There has been no tricky evas-
/ ion on his part to get the support of demo-
! Gratis with populistic tendencies.
Hawkinsville Dispatch It's to be hoped
that those of Mr. Crisps friends who are
continually urging him 20 enter the race
/ for the United States Senate will quit an
moving him on that line Mr.. Crisp is
! right now in the place for him.
Valdosta Times: Mr.. Turner's friends
| sincerely regret that he did not have
/ time to recuperate from his arduous du-
! ties in Washington before plunging into
! the state campaign. He has not been
| able to FIJI half of his appointments, but
! several days rest at Gainesville has en-
/ abled him TO start out again. But one
| speech from him went sounding around
/ the state and did more good than fortt
/ ordinary speeches. They can't keep down
such man.
Sam Jones says: Every little poll
tician thinks to make a speech he must
1 talk about gold buggery and silver dig
/ gerry. Avarice is al the foundation of
| every sin Hell itself is nothing but
! selhshness on fire, and il is a wonder to
me that some Of you old brethren don't
/ catch by natural combustion. | don't
know but one politician in America that
is absolutely unpurchasable and unbull-
dozable, and that is old Grover Cleve-
land.
FLORIDA.
Pensacola News: Mr. Call draws but
one issue-are you in favor of Calls re
election or against it, If not for him his
advice is TO bring out an independent nom
inee and attempt To beat the regular dem
ocrat5c ticket,
| Florida Mirror: It is clear that Mr..
Calls mission all over the state is autag-
4 onistie to the organized democracy. and
his most appreciated audiences are com
I posed of populists, Independents and sore
heads, who have had their political ambi-
! tions crushed by beng supplanted by bet
ter men.
Jacksonville Metropolis: The repub-
hcans are talking about placing
some candidates in the field. and
/ ii is said that they will petition the
/ county commissioners to allow a republi-
! can clerk at each poll, as all the inspect
Ors have previously been p9titioned for
/ representative as the populists and indie
/ pendentsi They are fighting the demo-
Gratis. Where is the ditference" said a
stalwart republican today
Fernandina News: If Senator Call has
ever been an issue in this state, he has
never been anything more than side
issue His strength and it has been
great-has been due solely to the stand
he has taken upon the question of cor
porate encroaChment. Had he never
lived, the same questions that are now
pressing home to the intelligence of our
plain people would have still demanded
an answer from the Democratic party of
this state, and upon some other man
would have fallen both the obloquy cast
by the railroads and the burdens imposed
by the confidence of the people.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Barnwell Sentinel: The reorganization
of the South Carolina democracy should
not be delayed. Democrats want an or
ganization free from the influences of
populists, third partyites and other enc
mics.
Aiken Recorder: The Tillmanites arc
constantly charging that the conserva
tives will appeal to the negro vote. Well
we would like to know who made the law
that allowed negroes to sign petitions Il
force dispeusaries upon unwilling white
menl
Greenville News The funny part of the
present political situation in South Caro-
lima is that for four years refawm organs
ana orators have been preaching that all
conservatives were independents anyhow
Now, when some conservatives declare
themselves to be independents, the re-
fawm organs and orators become enraceu
over it, and Gov. Tillman says he will not
believe until he sees it that any number
Of Us will bolt j. Gary Evans.
News and Courier: DR. Sampson Pope
will run for governor of South Carolina a,
the election IN November There are only
three planks IN his platform: Opposition
to the dlspensary, eternal warfare against
bossism, and vigorous support Of true
democracy. This is a good platform. aud
should make the voters of the state dOcA
to the standard of DR.. Pope We do moi
know exactly what he means by true
democracy but whatever il is il cannot
possibly be worse than 'Jetfersoniar
democracy as interpreted by his com
petltOr, Mr.. John Gary Evans We douot
know whether DR.. Pope viii win or lose
but here's hoping that he will make ,
hard fight, and that he will stay in tho
fight TO the finish
