Comments on Affairs in georgia, Flor

others, is populist for Office only. And
when disappointment in this direction is
overtakeu, the whole greedy lot will for
sake the party they now so much
cherish.
LAGRANGE Graphic: 1t looks like the
candidacy of one man is about to defeat
a GOOD measure. The people are unwil-
ling 10 vote to increase the mum Der of .su-
irene court judges if it means a position
Tor Gober, and as he seems to have the
mil vote for an increase really means a
vote for him. We DO not pretend to saw
he is guilty or not for we do not know.
but the name of a Judge should be like
that Of vestal virgin, above reproach.
Meriwether Vindicator: A Meri-
wether third party disciple of Tom Wat
son SAYS the colored man is feeling the
eject of bad legislation. Yes" said an
old colOred man standing by, bless the
Lord we feels it in lower taxes and more
school money to educate our children.
The third party 'wrighter,' like the boy
the calf ran over, had nothing more to
say He felt for once that the old colored
man had more sense than he.
EARLY County News: A third party
sneaker, Rev. Mr.. Dykes, in a speech last
Tuesday night, said that it was getting
time for congress to adjourn and come
nome. IL was a I6NGldLlOu 10 MIN when
he was told that congress had been ad-
journed nearly a month, and yet this man
is a leader, is heaping abuse, in his wild
frenzies, upon the heads of all democrats
and is asking men to follow him in it,
However, stupendous ignorance and I'M
limited gall can move some poor people
Oglethorpe Echo: Georgia owns one of
the best railroads in the south. but it was
a failure and a dead expense to the state
until it was leased for a term of twenty
years to an individual 1t has been sue
cessfully operated under individual con
tro and management, but when the state
controlled it an annual appropriation was
necessary to keep up the running ex-
penses. Notwithstanding this striking
object lesson there are few soreheads
who want the government to own all
railroads, telegraph and telephone lines,
and according to all experiment up to
date, incur an enormous output to defray
the running expenses. The great masses
are not ready to undertake any such a
wildcat scheme.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: An interest
ing feature of our Atlanta dispatch this
morning is a review of tho fight that is
being made on Judge George Gober in
certain quarters, and a defense of the
Judge by one of his friends. The fight is
in some respects a curious one, the motive
of which at this distance is not very ap-
parent When some of these same charges
were made year or two ago Judge Gober
requested an investigation by the legisla-
ture, and a committee, with Hon. A o.
Bacon as chairman, made a thorough eX-
animation, with the result that Judge
Gober was completely exorerated. The
fight now does not look like a fair one and
smacks of political persecution. The
Judge, however, is able to take care of
himself aud has a host of strong friends
who believe in him and will stand by him
FLORIDA
Fernandina News: Those corporation
papers which accuse St. Clara brains of
disappearing Judge Boggs, should not
forget that that gentleman in his origi-
nal reference to Mai. Marks completely
in the Winter Park scandal, declared that
he believed him guilty-a fact which did
not, however, render him averse to lend
ing him his support
Madison Recorder: Cali and Dough-
erty met on the stump in Volusia county
last week. The Record says their four
discussions were very unnecessary, very
uncalled for and very undemocratic. The
senator accused the ex-congressman of
trying to bride Dyal of Nassau to bolt the
Nassau county convention, which Dough-
erty denied, but said he had offered to
lIloll DydI ClsOUu " kGb HIN ilJYdi)
elected senator from Nassau. Dyal's
sworn statement is against this construc-
ton, however.
Jacksonville Metropolis: "Alien capt.
talists" is what the ''reformers" and in
dependents call every wealthy man who
comes to Florida to invest his money.
This shows how much of a friend is the
average ''reformer" and independent of
Florida. By their method of reasoning
one ofice-seeker (just what are reform
ers" and independently is more valuable
to the state than the millions of dollars
brought here by capitalists and put into
railroads, hotels, steamship lines and into
retaining swamp lands. Compare, if
you please, the relative benefit to
Florida's prosperity Call and Abrams,
''reformers,' and Flagler and Disston,
capitalists.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Aiken Journal and Review: The NUM-
cipal election on Monday was an object
lesson which we wish could have been
seen by every democrat in this county
be he Tillmanite or an anti. From first
TO last this election was a scramble for
the colored vote, in which whisky and
money were freely used. Should the
white people of this state ever divide and
appeal is made to the cOlored vote, Just
such an election and unseelnly scramble
as took place in Aiken on Monday would
be the result.
Akin Recorder: AS things are being
run. now, we will soon have no Demo
cratic party in South Carolina, unless an
aggressive fight is made for its mainten-
ance, Tillman has abused the party and
done all he could TO degrade it in the
eyes of his followers; and openly pro
claims that he now only awaits encour-
agement from the west to leave the
party and take his followers with him.
Inc life Of true Democracy in this state
Is now at stake, and the convention is to
devise measures to keep it alive, and
give II new vigor.
News and Courier: We do not think
that the nomination of state ticket is
essential to the reorganization of the
party. The convention has been called
Tor the purpose of reorganizing the
democratic party in South Carolina, - and
Tor the purpose of considering the politi-
ca! situation In she state etc. In the
opinion of ma! ority of the democrats IN
Che state the political situation is not
such as TO warrant the nomination of a
ticket, while we believe a ma GRITTY of
democrats to be in favor of recognizing
the party. Reorganization does not mean
me making of nominations, for the call
IoF the convention expressly provides
