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

Macon Telegraph: The resignation of
Mr.. Marion W. Harris from the state
democratic executive committee is hardly
so satisfactory to the popuists since his
explanation was given TO the public He
is about as far from being a popuIist as
possible. IL is now in order for the
papers which have misrepresented him
TO do HIM the justice of giving his ex-
PLANTATION Of his conduct TO their readers
Brunswick imes-Advertiser: The real
cause assigned for the withdrawal Of Mr.
Marion Harris from the state democratic
/ executive committee, is that he opposes
/ The free coinage sentiments attributed to
Col Atkinson. MIR. Harris claims TO be a
/ Cleveland democrat. IL is about time as
Chairman Clay intimates, that the DR.
| Swamp Angel idea OF politics was with
drawn from the state campaign Georgia
cannot go into tho free coinage business.
Albany Herald: Judge Gober is emit
tied to the floor if he has anything TO say in
refutation of theserious charges that have
been brought against him by the Atlanta
Commercial, and it appears to US that il is
about time for the judge 10 rise. A man
VINO is worthy of the position Judge GOber
holds cannot afford to stand upon his
dignity and ignore such charges as have
been brought and reiterated against him,
ana the Herald, which has not, until now
taken any notice of these charges, is be-
ginning TO suspect that there IS some
thing rotten in Denmark
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The rumor of
another one of these misrepresentation
is, we regret to ,say, being circulated in
AlusCOgee county. 1t is stated that the
populist candidate for congress in this
district, or those representing him, have
] tn No Of
county that if the populist is elected that
| negroes are to be put on the police force
| of this city. This would be a very I'M
! fortunate and dangerous appeal for a
white candidate TO make TO the negroes
! OF course the colOred people are aware
! that in none of the elections 10 be held
/ this year could the result in any way af-
! feet the organization of the police force,
! and they know thatthe policy is well estab-
| lished not TO put colOred men on the po-
| lice force. 1t IS difficult 10 believe that
! the pOpulst candidate for congress in
/ this district has made any such PROPOSE
/ ton to the negroes in MuscOgee county,
/ but such rumOr has been circulated.
FLORIDA.
Arcadia Arcadian: More than 5000 was
! paid into the school fund for poll tax re
] ceipts last week. Both parties put up the
/ stuff in great shape.
Tampa Times: 1t is now regarded as a
certainty that Hon. Thomas NJ. Palmer
will be our next state senator The coun-
/ tvs interests will be safe in his hands.
The Monticello Tribune proposes that
/ the good democrats of that county hold a
mass meeting and sing. Praise God
/ From Whom All Blessings Flow, " because
| the senior senator has not made an ap-
| pointment in that county.
Florida Citizen: The senior senator's
speeches about corporations" come dear
to the people of Florida. During his
term of public service he has drawn
about $4,000, not counting perquistes. If
it costs as much as this to to have the
corporations denounced from the stump
periodically, what would actual and
effective legislation on the subject cost!
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Greenville News: The Columbia Regis
ter pretends to be astonished that the
antinewspapers praise Gov Tillmans re,
/ ply to the Englishmen " no propose to in
vestigate lynching in the south. The
antinewspapcrs have always been Just to
/ Gov. Tillman-mCst Of them, at least.
/ Justice has not been what he wanted nor
/ what his followers demanded A search
Z
ten words Of praise for Tillman and Of re-
/ buke for Cleveland for every one word of
/ rebuke of Tillman and commentator of
! Cleveland that has appeared in Iillman
newspapers.
Sumter Herald: Most Of theanti-T Till
man newspapers of the state are against
/ the Independent movement The whole
/ thing seems to be a Butler movement.
/ After the senator's shameful treatment
/ of his political friends, he now
/ expects them to make bolt
/ in order to serve him. But he
/ will be sadly mistaken. When the
/ straightout, old-time democrats make a
] fight for true democratic principles, they
/ wiz make it different way and with a
/ different leader than Senator Butler, who,
/ if we are to Judge by his answers to the
| alliance catechism, is as much of a popu-
/ list as Illlman.
ST. Matthews Herald We would have
| been delighted to have seen Gen. James f.
Izlar candidate before the primary. We
would have supported him with all the
/ power we have, but if the general con
sents to be a candidate in the general
| election in November then we part com
pany. DR. Stokes is the nominee of the
/ party and must be supported. We will
not, we cannot believe that Gen. Izlar
will allow himself to be induced to be-
come an independent candidate. Such a
course would be undemocratic, unwise
and impoitic, and would for ever and
ever sound the death knell of the gener-
ais political influence in this territory
No independentism in ours, if you please.
News and Courier, Sept II: In our
opinion it was great mistake to call the
convention to meet before the Irby
convention has nett would be a greater
mistake 10 reorganize the party and nomi-
nate d state ticket tonight, pending the
action of that body the day after to-mor-
row 1t would be a mistake, because
thousands of democrats in the state, how
ever much they may smart under the
tyranny Of the 1illman-Irby ring. would
not be free TO Join with their brother
democrats in an effort to restore the state
70 the democratic column. IT would be a
mistake, because democrats do not agree
among themselves as TO the policy which
should be pursued in this emergency.
Most of the delegates who wiz attend the
convention tonight go without instruc-
tiOns
