unrensonnbIe PonuIists.

The populist leaders in this state must
have known that the democratic executive
committee had no authority to accept the
fusion proposition which they offered, or
any other fusion proposition which in
volved the taking down of any of the dem
ocratic electors and filling the places thus
made vacant with populists, and therefore
they could hardly have expected that their
proposition would be accepted. And yet
they pretend that they are very angry and
that many of the members of their party
win vote for Mr.. Mckinley because it was
not accepted. Instead of accepting the
facts they endeavor to create the impress
sion that it was the purpose of the demo-
cratic executive committee to humilate
their idol, Mr.. Watson, and therefore they
propose to have revenge by arraying them
selves against the democratic electoral
ticket.
They will not, of course, do the demo-
cratic party any great amount of harm,
because they cannot. They cannot get the
masses Of the populists to join the republi-
cans in voting for Mckinley. They under
stand that very well, and the populist
leaders are all the more angry because
they are unable to injure the cause of
democracy.
One mistake the popullst leaders made
was IN assuming that the democratic par
ty of Georgia was. like their own party,
and the republican party, dominated by a
few political bosses. They took it for
granted, apparently, that the democratic
executive committee would take down
democratic electors and put populist cleo
tors in their places, and that they would
exact pledges from all the electors, on a
ticket thus made up, to vote for Mr.. Wat
son for Vice President. Even if the demo-
cratic executive committee had accepted
the populist proposition and attempted to
carry it into effect, the fusion scheme
would not have been a success, because
the democrats of the state would not have
sanctioned its action. They would have
said that the democratic execu-
tive committee could not undo

agement of the affairs of their party, with
out regard to the wishes of those who gave
them their positions. They are bosses, and

cratic party who have such extraordinary
powers

The Discovery of a wizard.

One evening, towards the close of the
last century, says Harper's Round Table,
a traveller alighted at a little inn in the
town of Wurzburg, Germany He was
tall, dark, and rather sombre-looking.
In the morning one of the maids of the
inn told the landlord that, listening at
the strangers key-hole the night before,
she had heard him in earnest converse
ton with some person or thing, and yet
no one had been seen to enter the room.
She gave the information to the justices
of the town, and sundry officers were
speedily assembled about the stranger 5
door, and heard the following conversa-
ton:
Thou misformed offspring of our I'M
created power-thou whom 1 have so long
sought-thou shalt escape me no longer
Answer me! Come, my black barbet,
change thy costume. How thy black hair
rises on end, thy body SWells and thy
red eyes sparkle! . If thou indeed
hast submitted myself to me, show thy
self, demon, and speak to thy master"
At this moment a distinct smell of
burning birthstone caused the stout
burghers to draw their noses away from
the door and stifle their coughing as best
they could.
A sharp shrill voice was now heard to
answer.
Master, what dost thou desire of thy
servant?"
The door was broken down, and the
stranger dragged before the magistrate,
charged with being in league with the
devil. The stranger quietly said:
Il had begun a tragedy, but as my
friends disturbed me continually at Wei
mar, where 1 live, came to write here.
The hero of my tragedy is a man who
invokes the devil, and to whom the devil
appears. l confess that I have an I'M
fortunate habit of reading aloud what
compose, as fast as I write it. AS to my
invoking. perhaps personally, the devil,
1 am too good a Christian to do that, and
you, Mr.. Burgomaster, too enlightened
to believe it.
The wizard was Goethe. and the trag-
edy, Faust.

The First District Campaign.

We are sure that it is the wish of nine
tenths of the people of Chatham county
that Gel. Lester shall be returned to con-
gress. and also of a majority of the peo-
pie of the other counties of the district.
He has opposition. both republican and
populist, but he has made such an ex-
ceptionally good representative and has
served the district so faithfully and sue
cessfully, that it is not possible that any
of those who place the interests of the
district above politics will lend the OPP
position a helping hand.
1t has been the policy of the south al
most from time immemorial to keep in
congress a faithful and efficient repre-
sentative. 1t is a wise policy, and is the
chief reason the south has always ex-
erted so much influence in national af-
fairs.
We say without fear of contradiction
that no congressional district, either
north or south, has ever had a repre-
sentative that rendered his constituents
better service than Col Lester has rem
dered the First district of Georgia. Only
yesterday a prominent business man said
that the loss of Col Testers services in
congress would be a calamity to Savan-
nah He spoke strongly, and yet not too
strongly, because our deep channel to the
sea and our new public building, which
is being constructed of Georgia marble,
are evidences of his work.
The fact is, Col. Lester is a very infiu-
entail man in congress. He not only I'M
derstands the workings of that body, but
his relations with those who control leg
islation are of the most cordial nature.
He succeeds, therefore, in getting for his
district what he wants when others fail
in satisfying the demands Of their respect
i've districts.
Savannah now wants an appropriation
for a marine hospital to be located on
the lot that was first purchased for the
postofiice. If a new man should be sent
to congress from the First district there
would be very little prospect of getting
such an appropriation within the next ten
years. If Mr. Lester is returned we max
get the appropriation from the next con-
gress.
We do not, of course, doubt that Mr..
Lester win be reelected We are only
pointing out how important it is that he
shall be, and in re-electing him the dis
trict ought to give him a majority that
would make him feel that his services are
appreciated

CarIisIe ut Covinrtnn.

The attacks which were made on Sec
rotary Carlisle by roughs at Covington
will not advance the cause of the demo-
cratic party in Kentucky. Such argu-
ments as Mr.. Carlisle makes cannot be
answered with rotten eggs and the jeers
of hoodlums. While it is true that he is
opposing the regular democratic ticket,
it is also true that he is the Secretary
of the Treasury in an administration

many warm friends and admirers in Ken

Old home cannot have but one effect and
that is TO make friends for the cause
which he represents.
The democratic leaders in Kentucky
greatly regret the outrages at Covington.
If they could have prevented them. the
outrages would not have occurred. Be-
sides respecting Mr. Carlisle for his high
character and his ability they under
stand that to attack him as he was at
tackled at Covington is to hurt the demo-
cratic ticket IN Kentucky 1t is much the
wiser course to answer his arguments
than to attempt to prevent him from

From the baltimore Herald DENY.

So far as the figures of former elections
go, Georgia would be safely democratic
without fusion. Two years ago Gov At
kinson received 12i 900 votes. against ST.
900 republican and populist ballots, ana
the recent state election showed a large
majority for the democratic party. Bat
gold standard democracy must be recK-
oned with. and without fusion the state
leaders have never been hopeful of carry
ing the national election against the re-
publicans. 1t IS fair to assume, there
fore, that Georgia may be regarded Az
a doubtful state IL the populists take the
field against the Chicago ticket.

Un.ettIed Plans.

The death OF ex-Speaker Crisp has
! broken many states and disarranged many
| plans He would have been elected United
| States senator without further effort Oh
! his part It was practically agreed that he
! should have that office. AS far we know,
| he had made no combinations to secure
the position, and had made no promises
to assist others to get the offices they
sought in consideration of assistance to
be given him He had no need Of help,
because he had no opposition. The plans
of those seeking the various Offices m
the gift of the legislature were made with
a full understanding Of that condition OF
affairs.
The whole situation is changed. SEN
ator is to be chosen from a number of as
pirants, and if the governor should be q
candidate, and be successful, there woulo
be a governor to elect. New plans must
be made, therefore, in harmony with the
changed existing condition of affairs.
1t is not probable that a senatorial eau
Gus will be held until after the presiden~
tial election, or, if one is held, care will
be taken that no choice is made until the
election is over The result of the cleo
ton may have much to do with the result
of the caucus.
If Mr. Bryan should be elected only =
free silver coinage man could be elected
senator, but if Mr.. Mckinley should be
elected by a very large majority the sill
yer question would be practically elm
mated from the senatorial contest. 1t
would be generally understood that the
country had rendered an irrevocable de-
cisfon against free silver coinage, and the
silver question would cease to be an i'm
portant one. Assuming that such would
be the case a gold democrat would stand
almost as good a chance to get the sem
atorship as a silver democrat. There
would, therefore, in all probability, be an
increase in the number of senatorial can
didates
In view of the possibility of the gov
ernor becoming a candidate for senator
the presidency Of the Senate has assumed
an Importance that it did not have before
should be elected senator the president
of the Senate would discharge the duties
of the governors office until that office
was filled by an election.
1t is assumed that the governor will
be a candidate for senator and hence the
question Of his successor must be a fac
tor in combinations that are being made.
There will be all sorts of states and COM
binations within the next day or two.
They are being made now. There is a
fine opportunity for them. For the next
two or three weeks there will be more
political work of an office-seeking charac-
ter done at the state capital than has
been Witnessed there in many years.

savannah,s Cotton Regents.

For several weeks, in fact almost from
the opening of the cotton season, there
have been complaints that Savannah is
not getting her fair share of the cotton
from the territory tributary to her.
Complaint is made of the transportation
companies and of the ocean freight rates.
These complaints have become so general
that it would seem as if those who are
regarded as being in position to remedy
the things complained of would take some
public notice of them.
The complaints are either we'll founded
or they are not. If they are well found
ed the cause for them should be removed
at once. If they are not well founded
the business interests of the city should
be so informed
Cotton buyers say they send a great
deal of cotton to Norfolk, Charleston and
Brunswick which they would like to ship
from Savannah. They do so because it
is to their advantage to ship from other
ports.
Do the cotton receipts at other South
Atlantic ports bear out this statement?
They seem to. Up to Friday night the re-
ceipts of the different South Atlantic
ports were as follows:
