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

GEORGIA.
Rome Tribune: Tom Watson isn't kick
ing up as much dust in Georgia this year
as he did last. Two democratic deluges
right together will prove too much for
him.
Atlanta Journal The democrats of
Georgia are determined. There have
been few assertions from the ranks, as
there always are in such a large army,
but the places of those who have weak
ened have been filed by fresh recruits
and the invincible democracy IS moving
on to another great triumph in October,
and to the overwhelming election of every
Georgia democratic nominee for congress
in November.
Florida Citizen: The Atlanta Consti-
tuition probably does not realize that it is
making a rather queer spectacle Of itself
when it asks the state committee to can
Gel Judge Turner's appointment simply
because he is preaching sound-money doc
trine from every stump that he mounts
in this campaign Ana what makes the
position of the Constitution still more alb
surd, Judge Turner has not said one word
that the Georgia democratic platform
does not warrant. We are inclined to
think that the state committee should
call the Constitution OF.
FLORIDA.
St Louis (Mo.) Republic: Whether or
not hts fame shall outlive the crnturies,
as has that of the incendiary of the Tenn
pie of Diana, it is evident that Senator
Call has put both feet in it, and the fact
that he had his boots of does not save
him from the consequences of his acts.
Jacksonville Metropolis: Senator Pasco
is at home in Monticello from Washing
ton. He will assist the organized democ-
racy i'll the campaign this month and
next. He will not be found going through
the state assailing the party and advising
men to vote for no candidate who will
not vote for me for United States seua-
tor" Mr.. Pasco is a democrat and no
need Of mis- proclaiming that he is from
the hustings. 1t is only those whose po-
litical honesty is doubled that assert it.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Atlanta Journal: In 1890 James Lewis
Petigru, at one time attorney general of
his state, was asked for guidance to the
South Carolina insane asylum. He re-
Piled My dear sir, take any road; you
can't go amiss; the whole state is one
vast insane asylum" Poor Petigru is
not living now.
Columbia State: The quickest case of
political reward on record is reported in
Marion. The editor of the Marion
Farmer went to that county from Edge
field twenty-one weeks ago, a stranger, to
start his paper, and the other day he was
nominated for probate Judge by the Till
nantes. There may not be as much
money in the organ-grinding business,
but the incidentals of Office are profitable
We do not wonder that Larry CAN'T who
has been in the state two years without
an Office, is now looking for big one.
News and Courier: The announcement
that Col. T. Larry CAN'T is candidate
for the Office of phosphate commissioner
will hardly occasion a shock of surprise
to any body in the state. Being a leading
reformer, it was expected that he would
make claim for some Office, sooner or
later and in bidding for the phosphate
cOmmissionership he has only fulfilled the
general expectation. The only wonder is
that ne has not entered the contest for
gubernatorial honors, which were fairly
his due by virtue of his character and
work. He is certainly more like Gov
Tillman in every respect than any other
man in their party,
