The Politicians in Front.

From the Columbus Enquirer Sun.
Before the real campaign for 1896 opens
next spring the country will know pref
ty we'll where the politicians stand on the
financial question, those of them who
can stand still on one side of the fence.
We doubt if ever in the history of our a.
tional politics there has been such fall
ing off the fence, after such a period of
sitting on top. In some instances, even
in Georgia, statesmen of no mean repute
have been known to let themselves down
carefully from the top of the fence on
the silver side and as carefully craw
back to the top, and, afierllooking around
cautiously, plunge precipitately again
into the silver camp.
In nearly all the states the sound
money and the soft money politicians
have been eager to state their views to
the dear pc pie, and have done so in
drOves, even before there was any special
attempt to apply the yardstick to them.
Indeed, some statesmen, who have not
been supposed TO entertain any imr-edi-
ate or definite political aspirations, have
been in painful haste to get before the
people. We shall hear from most of them
ne xt spring, when candidates begin to
get ripe enough to pull. Politicians
have not always been SO frank and con-
fiding On issues on which The people are
divided as they are now on the silver
quest ion, but it threatens to start the
pol; teal pot Of 1896 bubb,ing and boiling
at very early date. The people vould
do well not to surrender to tfiS excite
ment until the summer of next year.

nothing strange in the number of dis
eases that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to

pure blood theibest way to cure them
is through the blood, and it is far better
to use only harmless vegetable COM

The esteemed editor of the Macon II
News is an observer that is worthy OF Ihe
appellation of observer. SNORT 1lme
400 he left his sanctum in charge OF the
office cat and spent as much as two or
three days in this section OF the state.
This brother was "closely ooserVant'
and be found it no trouble to look into
the countenances of the people and spy
ont the drift of political opinion
as he sped through the country or
stopped for a moment at the stations
The impression thus formed was 'that
the name of democracy is about to be
traded 30 the original disciples of free
and unlimited Or, to put 1t IN announcer
vav perhaps it might be said that pop
,,hsm is resting on its oars, while free
silver democracy pulls the craft.
In many counties visited, notwith-
standing his rapid passage through
them. the editor reached the conclusion
that free silverites and populists will
vote together whenever necessary to de-
feat sound money candidate, or one
who is not avowedly committed to the
free coinage of silver, and says;
"In one f1ourishing southwest Georgia
town that we know of two OF the leading
merchants of the place-formerly hght-
ing democrats-have come SO under the
free silver spell that both are now pOpu-
lists in all except the name. Neither
will hesitate to vote for populist,
fusion democrat or yellow dog to de1eat
a 'goldbug.'
THE News admonishes its Macon con-
temparary to calm itself While it is
true that the people of southwest Geor-
gia are largely in favor of free coin
age they are democrats in the strcteSt
acceptation of the term, and not only
will the principles of the party be safe IN
their hands but the mama also. They are
democrats who stand squarely for the
principles of democracy as enunciated at
the national convention which declared
for the coinage of silver on an equality
with gold.
The friends of free coinage will not
fuse with the populists in southwest
Georgia. They compose the democratic
party and will not find it necessary to
surrender it and its principles to the
allies of republicanism and join hands
with another party to carry their point.
