Naldosta Telescope. The election of
II. G. Turner to the senate would shed
luster over the state because his ability
and purity OF life would make him a leader
in that splendid body Of men.
Dawson News: Tom Crenshaw, one of
"the men who control is already reach
ing out after a place on the railroad COM
mission under the incoming administra-
tion. If Tom has any qualifications for
the job he has kept them concealed from
the public.

who has been a standing candidate for
Office for twenty years, but who has
never gotten above the legislature, feels
that the democrats of the state ought to
reward his declara ton of independence
by seat in tue Senate. The Ma an"
win find that the democrats Of Georgia
are not made out of that kind Of stuff
Augusta Chronicle: The democrats Of
the Tenth district are not amusing them
selves by conccding victory to Mr. Wat
son, nor by claiming Walk-0yer for their
own standard bearer. They know that
this district is the center Of the populist
line of battle, and they know that every
EFFORT will be made TO elect Mr. Watson.
They know that they have a stubborn
fight ahead of them, but they are ready
for ii, and mean to fight toea finish They
do not expect any quarter and will not
ask any IL will be a stfaightout party
fight in which the populists win fight for
dear life. But there is not a single in
huence they can employ this year that
they did not employ before, and some
they will be unable to use as effectively
as then. They did their worst in 1892,
and the democrats will go into the fight
in November with the confidence of vic
tors but with every precaution that wis
dom and experience would suggest to be
taken against an adversary that is both
willy and strong. Congressman Black is
a winner.
FLORIDA.
Florida Mirror: Senator Call is making
a canvass of the state in his own behalf.
He ignores the state democratic organiza-
lions altogether His chief theme is Call
the Hero aud Railroads the Enemy
his campaign is based upon arraying the
people against the action of the party or
CARNATIONS as expressed in their recent
state and congressional conventions.
Apalachicola Times: For long time
it has been customary for Florida pot
house politicians when they wished to
secure Offices or to attain ends in further
auce of their little schemes to yell rail
roads and monOpOlies. But the people are
beginning to see through these men and
their methods and, in consequence men
who represent the people are stepping TO
the front, while the penthouse politicians
are beng sent to the rear.
Jacksonville Metropolis Now it would
seem as if Grover Cleveland also recog-
Mics the potency of the democratic con-
yentiOn of Florida, as he within less than
twenty four hours after congress ad-
journed and a month after the action of
theconyentions appointed the Hon. George
w. Wilson Of Marion county collector of
internal revenue for Florida TO succeed
Dennis Eagan, republican, appointed six
years ago aby President Harrison and
through Senator Wilkinson Call claim
ing to be demOcrat,and Senators Lodge
Chandler and other republicans, has been
retained in otice for nearly two years
and nine months after his term of oaice
expired.
Florida Citizen: The "reformers" and
populists are rejoicing nightly over the
nomination of anti-democratic candidates
for the legislature in Columbia, Sumter
and Alachua. 1t is another case of the
Of 4nf hhvr la 4.
those counties have long been known as
injected with the populistic virus. and
populism Is the chosen yoke-fellow of the
"reiormersn Although maintaining a
semblanCe Of separate organization, the
"retOrmers' are enabled, wherever they
can sneak into democratic conventions
disguised as democrats, TO do the demo-
cratic enemy of both the most effective

disaster or defeat.
SOUTH CAROLINA
Carolina Spartan: A novel scheme was
proposed at the North Carolina State AL
lance TO go into the building of cotton
mills on the 81 plan. Each member is to
contribute 81 at stated times, and when a
certain district has money enough on
hand they will 20 to work and erect a
mill Such scheme is about as chimer-
zeal as the subtreasury Tho South Car
DINA Alliance is too dead to go into any
thing except the tombstone business.
Columbia State 81 give notice now
that we are not going to nave any Ala
bama business in South Carolina in No

Gnce OF this sort was needed Everybody
Knows that if Tillman can help IL there
will be no democratic victory-which is
what he styles Alabama busiuessn-in
South Carolina at the general election.
AS friend and cO-laborer Of Kolb Gov.
Iulman naturally resents his defeat by
the democracy, aud If counting out and
intimidation can save himself in Noyem-
Der he is resolved not to suffer Kolb's
fate.
News and Courier: Gov. Tnlman
claims that he is now running the dispen-
saries under the act OF 1893, but Judge
Aldrich has pronounced the act Of 1898 TO
be unconstitutional and his decision is
the law in al parts Of the circuit over
which he presides. Blackyille is in Judge
Aldrich'5 circuit. II the governor in
tends TO respect the authority of the
courts he would have closed all the dis
pensaries in Judge Aldrich's circuit
and removed all the dispensary
constables employed in that circuit.
He would not have waited for
