POLITICS IN THREE STATES.
Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.


GEORGIA.
. Athens Banner The voters Of Georgia
should not forget the amendment TO the
constitution providing for two additional
Judges Of the supreme court. The pas
sage Of this amendment means much goOs
for the people.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The colored
men of Bulloch county to the number of
$50 have sianed and issued an address TO
the colored people of Georgia declaring
that they will not support the pOpUlist
candidate for governor. BullOch is the
county where it is alleged, Judge Hines.
IN a court house speech spoke so abusively
Of the cOlored people, men and women.
Coium bus Enquirer-Sun: The Macon
Telegraph takes a very cautious view of
the sena torial race, and carefully avoids
mentioning Mai. Bacon in the same breat h
with Mr. Garrard 1t does try to make
him size up with Henry @. Turner, but it
thinks the public duty of the latter is to
remain in the Lower House Of congress,
and give Mai Bacon a chance for the
senatorship.
Dawson News: Hoke Smiths economy
in administering pension affairs has
aroused the enmity Of the Grand Army of
in Pennsylvania, the other day, they sang:
Hang Hoke Smith on Sour Apple
Tree We object. He must still live to
chop off other millions of pension frauds.
Hoke is an honest man, and the grand
army can't intimidate him.
Atlanta Constitution: There must be
no stay-at-home democrats this year A
vote lost IN this way is a vote given to
our opponents. The requirements and
obligations of party loyalty are Just as
strong and binding to-day as they were
when united democracy threw of bayOnet
rule and redeemed our commonwealth.
The campaign has been fairly conducted
and every opportunity has been afforded
for ascertaining the will of the majority
of the party. Under the circumstances
no democrat can give the shadow of a
reason for scratching his ticket or stay
ing at home.
Atlanta Journal: 1t is now thought that
Mr.. Crisp will be a candidate for the
United States Senate in the event the re-
turns Tuesday night Nov. 8. indicate
that the next national House of Repre-
sentatives will not be democratic. That
will be pretty well ascertained by
Wednesday morning, Oct Z, and before
the Georgia legislature has made a choice
for senator, unless some of the candidates
are elected on the first ballot Tuesday,
which just now seems altogether i'm
probable. If, however, the democrats
have majority in the next House, Mr..
Crisp's friends say he will not care to be
senator, as ne can easily be reelected
speaker.
FLORIDA
Florida Times-Union: A fair election
law viii contribute more to the material
advancement Of Florida than any other
agency in the state. Once announce to
the world that Florida has enacted laws
for full vote. free ballot and a fair
count and immigrants will come to her
borders in streams.
Jacksonville Metropolis Of all the
selfish politicians those of the Duval in
dependents are the worst. Nothing is
their aim, it would seem, but personal
benefit. One who is interested in steam
boating and tugs is reported to be telling
people along the St Johns river that their
votes must be for men favorable to a rail
road commission or the river business will
dwindle down to very Insignificant pro-
portions. Sail vessels will cease 10 come
here for cargo and steamships will 90 out
only half laden, and pilotage at Mayport
will be Improbable. A pilot said yester-
day: 81 was listening for the indepen-
dents to also say that without a railroad
commission The st. Johns river wound go
dry and the fishermen's business would
be ruined. OI would as soon believe one
statement as the other" However, the
Duval independents are similar to those
elsewhere in the state known as re
formers" They will say most anything
to get office. Take the state through and
where do you find these champions for a
commission if not in the front rank OF
ohlce-seeking, proclaiming all manner OF
political clap-trap.
