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

pie OF Georgia now own $4,000, 900 worth
OF property This is shown in the records
and can not be disputed by the third
party people who are trying to prejudice
the colored people against the democrats.
ms property has been accumulated by
our cOlOred people under democratic
rule. and as long as they are doing so well
1t will be wise for them to continue to
vote with the democrats and keep on
prospecting. We believe tie plans of the
third party, if they were able to carry
them out, would bring disaster to the
country generally, and especially TO the
colored people
Atlanta Constitution: The democratic
campaign is in good shape. The people of
every town and county are doing active
work, and have set their stakes for the
largest majority in the history of Georgia
politics. Commenting on the work that
IS being done, the Savannah News makes
this point: "What Georgia needs is a
democratic majority in October so large
as to make it certain that she will con
tinue under democratic rule That being
settled, hOme-seekers who are looking
toward the south will not hesitate to
come to Georgia, because since the demo-
Gratis have had control of her affairs she
has prOspered greatly That is exactly
what big democratic majority will do
for US. 1t will give greater confidence TO
| home-seekers, who will gladly cast their
fortunes with US when assured by
a sweeping victory of the continu-
ance of democratic government. 1t
requires only this positive as
sGrance, in a majority that will empha-
size it, to clinch the work which has
| been accomplished already on the line of
| immigration. There is no doubt that it
/ will be given. 1t is matter of honor and
| state pride with every democrat to lend
/ all his energies TO it; and it is evident
| from the activity manifested everywhere
! that 1t will be done. The campaign has
! been wlselyrplanned; there are sentinels
/ at every outpost; the boys are in good
/ humor and lighting trim everywhere
/ along the lines. That big majority is the
/ target at which they are aiming, and
they will strike the marB. This is a cam
! paign of democratic enthusiasm, of demo
cratic victory.
FLORIDA
Jacksonville Metropolis: The action
| of the state and congressional conventions
of Florida for 1894 will always be pointed to
with pride by true and tried democrats. as
they were Waterloos TO the enemies of the
party. No chance yet to wreck the grand
old party OF the south!
Florida Citizen If the Palatka con-
] NEublDu udu duulbbtu lLlG independents
and divided Duval's vote equally between
them and the democratic delegation, II
would have been patted on the back by
the Independents, and called a democratic
convention. Now that it has not done So
it will be styled by them a railroad as
semblage."
Pensacola News: The Performers
have lost every point for which they con
tended in this campaign. There is one
| thing, however, which the reform" De
mos henes Mai" Abrams, has not
| lost. He is still pursued by the old night
mare that the Florida Central and PENN
sular Railway Company wants to buy
| him, although the Lord only knows what
the company would do with him after il
! had bought him Besides, it is doubtful
whether the accountants of the company
| have time to carry the reductio ad alb
surdum process out to a point common
surate with the price that the company
would likely set upon the "paJor's'
value.
SOUTH CAROIENA.
Columbia State: JAere is no way left
of purifying the democratic organization
within itself 1t has come to this. as we
have long seen that it must come-that
we must choose between surrender and
| tbo extinction of democracy in this state
J and thattresistance which we owe to our
| party fealtY and to our own self-respect
and well being. There must be such re.
sistauCe in 1896 or South Carolina will be
| irretrievably lost TO the democracy. 1t
were better to meet the issue now before
we are utterly subjugated and enslaved.
Columbia Register The disguise has
| been thrown of and the refOrmers can all
| know where Butler is at. He has shown
] nd ic "a ono RI hoo
| 1t is black hand, but not a flush by any
means clubs and spades are mixed up in
| it and he does not hold even a pair. He
! has been bluffing, that is all. He holds
what Gen. Farley would call 'loo-loo'.
| hand, but the rules of the senatorial
! game do not allow a "lOO-lOo' hand to
! win even once So Buffers case is hope
| less. Tillman holds a royal iush' and
/ is sure to take the lack pot"
Greenville News: Gen. Buffers action,
however, is only another development of
the general sOreak up of the party which
| Senator Irby encouraged when he f1unked
at the pinch from performance of his du-
ties as state chairman, for which Gov.
Tillman gave the signal by his repeated
declarations Of a purpose to abandon the
parry at the first opportunity, and which
the cunning but transparent cOntrivances
of the reform ring in the campaign Just
closed made inevitable.
News and Courier: AS we have said,
we do not know what Senator Buffers
plans are, but if he intends to make a
fight all along the line for democratic
principles he will have the support, as
we believe, of large majority of the
white people of the state. What he is
now probably attempting to do he should
have undertaken four years ago 1t is
but a short time before the election in
November and it will require well nigh
superhuman effort TO make much head
way against an INSCRIPTIONS machine.
Perhaps Senator Butler intends only TO
get the democratic forces well in hand for
the great struggle in 1896, and if this be
his purpose we are sure that every demo-
crat in the state will answer when his
name is called But we shall know a
great deal before ten days elapse, and ia
a game like this time is everything.
