the best and brainiest men in Georgia and
our people are anxious to hear him speak.
Bryan County Recorder: While in Sa-
the other day a prominent
Broughton street dry goods merchant
showed US piece of dress goods that had
been reduced p cents on the yard by the
effects of the democratic tariff Yet you
hear that democracy has not done any
thing.
Milledgeville Recorder: The Populist
party can hope to make no improvement
in state affairs, and they can claim no
good grounds in asking the suffrage of
people who have prospered under the
best men in the state. The voters of
Georgia are not blind, neither are they
ignorant. They know that their best in
terests are involved in democratic princi-
pies.
Middle Georgia Progress: The demo-
Gratis of Georgia have had control of the
state government for more than twenty
years. The state offices have been Occu-
pied by men of high character and the
administration of the state government
has been done wisely and for the best in
terest of the people, both white ana col
ored. The democrats of Georgia believe
IN giving Justice to all There is no good
reason for desiring a change.
Atlanta Journal The suddenness with
which the Atlanta Constitution has
ceased to demand that Hon. Henry G.
Turner be called off the stump is deCid-
eddy amusing. The offense of Mr.. Turner
IS that he has been proclaiming pure dem
ocratlc doctrine on the silver question.
he has insisted that no dollar shall be
coined which IS not equal in purchasing
and debt-paying power with a dollar in
gold. He has Contended that the parity
OF gold and silver must be maintained and
that the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of IL TO by the United
States alone, would inevitably destroy
that parity and put us on a silver basis.
This is the straight, unadulterated demo
cratic gospel. 1t is IN exact accord with
the national and state democratic plat
forms and should be proclaimed wherever
a democratic campaign speaker lifts his
voice.
Macon Telegraph; The Constitution S
attack upon MIR. Turner is made because
In his speech at Decatur that gentleman
saw mt to express views on the silver
question not in line with the demands of
the popullst party nor in cOnsonance with
the strained Interpretation which the
Constitution has itself sought to put upon
the democratic platform. 1t even ven
lures to question MIR. Turner'S democracy
"a democracy tried by the stress of many
years service under the most trying cir
cumstances and never yet found in the
slightest degree wanting in truth. When
1t goes further and speaks of Mr. Turner's
speech as an ELOQUENT arrangement of
the democratic bimetallic policy and says
that as far as results 90 one of Judge
Hines speeches in itself is not a whit
more damaging TO democracYuthan Judge
Turner's anti-silver argument 1t insults
the intelligence of Georgia democrats at
the same time that it does a gross inius-
tice TO one of their best and most trusted
leaders The Telegraph is not support
ing Judge Turner for the senate In do
ing what it can to further the candidacy
of another democrat equally able and
equally true, it in et1ect.oppOses him. But
the Telegraph is not engaged in the bust
ness Of killing off democratic leaders In
stlnctively it goes to their defense when
they are unjustly attacked. II protests
against the injustice done Judge Turner,
than whom there is not better democrat
or truer friend of silver in the state.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville Metropolis: Don't YOU
understand Abrams letter about Judge
Beggs and Gov. Mitchell?' asked Pa
latka democrat to-day while talking in a
certain office in this city. You remem-
Der Beggs SUPP orted the democrats in the
state and congressional conventions
against the independents, and last week
Gov. Mitchell said ne would not recog-
nize Abrams Lake county executive com

Florida Times Union: According to
Porcher L'Engle's own statement, the
doors of the railroad primaries we're
thrown open to voters of every color,
nationality, and political creed; and yet
these are the democratic" primaries.

Duvals straightout democratic delega-
tiOns were denied seats in the conventions
at Jacksonville and at Palatka What a
travesty on right and justice.
Florida Citizen: The independents art
fully attempt to dodge the impotency of
railway commission by ignoring the effect
of the interstate commerce law They
tell us that the commission is to effect
rates only between Flor
ida points, while, as everyone knows, the
bulk Of all that Florida produces Eand
must go to and come from points
outside of the state, and the railways
could defeat the operation of the local

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Barnwell Sentinel: The republican
governors, Scott and Moses, in ali their
dangerous maneuverlngs never did more
harm in South Carolina than b. X. Till
man. In the days of the first named gov
ernors they failed to disband the white
people and make them enemies, but Till
man has done both aud to-day is curse
TO our political machinery and the apple
of discord.
Clarendon News: The life Of the Demo
cratic party is imperrilled by the repre-
of the Tillmanites in their or
gained capacity pandering to Tillman-
who assumes to lead the democracy,
boldly telling them that he will lead them
into another party, presumably the third
party. He makes this declaration with
the air of one who felt that he had won
as a constructive genius, -
when it all points to destruction.
Columbia State: "Oh, yes, you can al
ways secure peace by submission. But in
South Carolina submission means a great
deal 1t means that you must not only
abandon your political but your personal
rights; that you must not resist when
your home is invaded and your property
seized by your masters mandate that you
must not even protest So long as one
voice is raised in South Carolina against

and disquiet. Nothing less than sur
