POLITICS IN THREE STATES.
ida and South Carolina.
GEORGIA

McDufie journal: MIR. Marion Nc
/ Daniel democratic nominee for state sen
ator, was in Thomson this week. he
/ is making a vigorous canvass, and is 60
/ ing to surprise his friends as well as enc
mics in this race. The populist leaders
/ condemn him because he refused TO aid
them IN numbering the farmers alliance.
| Rome Tribune: There is no room and
/ no occasion for discomfort or disaffection
/ IN the ranks of the Democratic party;
/ and no good democrat can make the de-
| feat OF Gen. Evans an excuse for support
| ing Hines, in the face of Gen. Evans own
| example and advice since the nomination.
! Let us present to the opposition an united
! and enthusiastic party, and we will GER
talnly march TO splendid victory on
! Oct. 3.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The speeches
delivered by Hon. Pat Walsh in Savannah
and elsewhere, as well as the editorial
declarations of his newspaper, the Au-
| gusta Chronicle, sound like the old DAYS
when the senator was pronounced high
| tarlH democrat and in a constant clash
! with the party. During the presidential
campaign of 1892, after the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland, there was an apparent
change of policy in obedience to party
duty, but it is evident that there was no
NL4llilS-I u iiCdLIs Oll Vic EItdG NluGSllOu
of tariff reform he now stands, the I'm
quirer-Sun regrets to see, with Senator
BrlCe and Senator German; on the silver
question his views are those of Senator
Stewart and Senator PETER. AS clever
and genial and big hearted as is the sena-
tor, his election TO the long term in the
| United States Senate, so far as its repre-
sentative capacity is concerned, would be
a paradox. He does not represent the
true sentiment Of the Georgia democracy.
FLORIDA
Orlando Reporter: The people of Flor
ida expect much good work from the next
legislature. Prominent among the urgent
| measures hoped for are a better assess
ment law and new election law. Any
thing short of those specifications will be
a direct disappointment.
Leesburg Commercial: Mr.. Abrams de-
MES that the Honduras Lottery Company
is furnishing him with money, and we ac-
cept his denial unreservedly. The Hon
duras Lottery Company would not be so
lll-adyised as to propose to assist to a seat
in the senate any man who would be so
absolutely without influence there as Mr.,
Abrams,
Florida Citizen: The Independents are
seeking to impugn the honesty and in
INELlbJ VI btiC EONGIuOI VI Lllc obdlG.
We do not believe that a more conscien-
tious man ever filled the executive chair.
We dODot believe that any governor of
Florida ever stroVe harder to do his duty
as he saw it. Are there no bounds tolthe
desperation of the independents? Will
their madness lead them to wholesale
SANDER! Shall the fair name of the
state be dragged down, and everything
wrecked in the scramble for power!
Florida Times-Union; Railroad attor-
neys, railroad protective associations. Of
hce-seekers, the railroad subsidized press
and the paid hirelings of corporate cor
ruption are striving to gain the mastery
in political affairs and to destroy the lib
critics of the people. These men are the
modern ESauS of society, who have sold
their birthright, and now in their very
wantonness and shamelessness, seek to
rule and debauch. Not content that they
have no longer birthrightS as free indie
pendent American citizens with liberty
loving instincts, and not content to be
simply Esaus. they would also be Jere-
boams to make Israel to sin" The peo-
pie of Florida are not yet ready to be
ruled and ruined by the Esaus and Jere-
boamS, but will stamp them with the
brand of their infamy and spew them out
of their mouths. But the people must be
aroused to their designs, must know the
truth, and, knowing, like men dare main
tain it. ITO your tents, o, Israel"
SOUTH CAROLINA
Col umbia Register: If the independ-
ents feel in duty bound to essay that test,
let them leave the organized democracy
Fbut when they are crushed and humili-
ated they will not find its doors wide
open for their return. They have been
forgiven once, but If the forgiveness only
melted them to make a fresh transgres-
sion with the idea that they can easily
slip back into the fold of organi ed de-
mocracy, they will find that they are
sadly out in their reckoning, They will
| amount to about as much in South Caro-
lima as the remnants of the greenba
party.
Marion Star; Brains are at an amaz-
ing discount in the entire reform press of
the state The only stock in trade is
what Gen. Hampton remarked quite
number Of years ago in reference TO indie
| pendentism, and a continuous idiotic lab
boring a bout the danger of dividing the
white people. Notwithstanding that in
the first place Tillman deliberately d.
yided the white people Of the state four
| years ago, and in the second place that a
| populist is beyond all comparison worse
| than any type of a radical, these astonish-
| ing asses continue 10 work these thread
bare old gags for all they are worth Why
| don't they quote a number of remarks
that Gen Hampton has uttered in re-
gard to 1illmanism within the past four
years.
News and Courier:-We protest that
fight for state democratic ticket at
the election in November would be the
veriest folly. No good general would
dream of attacking a strongly entrenched
army with a company of ill-equipped
and disorganized troops. No wise politi-
tician would attempt to beat the machine
by poor politics To make a su. cessful
fight against the machine now every
conservative democrat ia the state would
ha 70 to vote against IL, and there are
tn )usauds Of conservative democrats
/ throughout the state who would not
voUe for any ticket that might be nomi-
mated by the convention tomorrow night.
Such is the political situation Of the
state that the convention, il it is careful
OF the public welfare, will not name a
ticket. What the convention should do,
however, is 70 organize the Democratic
party and prepare for the great strug-
gle Of 1896 IL will take two years Of
1ard work 10 place the conservative dem
ocrats Of the state on war footing.
