FUSION IN GEORGIA.

II IL to be regretted that the Republic
ans OF Georgia have decided to fuse with
tho Populists. 1t IL difficult TO conceive
how any man believing in Republican prin-
ciples can find II in his conscience to mako
any trade" which shall consent to put
legislative power into the hands OF Popu-
lists by aiding to send one Of them to the
United States senate.
II Ia chiefly In legislative bodies that
principles can be applied: and in every
vote in congress upon questions Of national
policy the Populists have gone to the oppo-
site extreme OF Republicanism. The Popu-
Lists have awaited themselves of the votes
OF free-silver Republicans IN an effort to
carry out their views. but when II came
to tho tariff question. as 20 which most
Republicans are agreed, the Populsts re-
fused TO concede anything In return. and
the nation is subjected to continuance Of
. calamltous condition.
Fusion such as that proposed in Georgia
Ia a shameless trafic in once. It Is a bar
tering away of birthright for a mess OF
pottage. A Populist In executive ONCE Is
honorable and capable man and admins
ter his once in the interests of the peo-
pie. without regard to political views. But
In legislative ONCE IL the power and the
opportunity 10 apply prinelples-it Il the
right place. and we can find no fault with
the Populsst who takes advantage Of 1t.
One Is justified in denouncing the willful
act OF any Republican In connivance at
such surrender Of principle is involved
in placing Porulist In a position where he
can defeat Repuhlicanism.
The Republican party should place itself
on record as opposed 10 all deals or
other unholy alliances by which legisla-
ton upon Republican principles shall be
jcopariized or thwsrted in order that rner
masking In its name shall procure the
emoluments Of Office.
There is not one rule OF moral conduct
for the Democrats and another for
Republicans. There are times when any
man. Irrespective OF any party. may ind
himself compelled. for the public interest,
10 cast his vote for political opponent
who Is a candidate FOR a merely minister
ial ONCE. No citizen Is bound TO abide by
his party organization II II selects a no.
torioasly unit man for any Office Of public
trust But in the case Of Georgia there is
no such Justification for ahnegation of
party loyalty. II is q mere scramble for
Once. In order TO secure which all regard
for national honor and national poIicy-as
Republicans view them-sre cast to the
winds.
