The Latest Scheme

From Atlanta comes q strange story
today.
1t is to the effect that the governor
will call an extra session of the legis-
lature to make an appropriation for a
commission to visit the Georgia camps
to get the soldiers votes, unless citi-
zens will lend him the money required
for that purpose, which he promises
the legislature at it's regular session
will refund.
Nothing could show better than this
how undemocratic the democratic par
ty is. and how the men who control
would SOW the wind, for temporary
little advantage, regardless OF the
whirlwind which is bound to grow out
of it sooner OF later.
OF course, the governor expects the
soldiers to vote the Democratic ticket
Nothing is said about this, and the
inference is left to be drawn that the
governor is only concerned to see that
the soldiers lose none of their privileges
Of citizenship by serving in the army.
But those who remember how Mr.. At
kinson declared on the stump in 1894
that he would prefer to see the state
visited by an epidemic of Asiatic chole-
ra rather than that the Popnlists should
get control, will understand that he
counts on getting solid party vote
out of the soldiers.
In spite of their boasting that they
expect to carry the state by an incress-
ed majority for the dear old party, the
governor and the democratic campaign
managers must feel very shaky about
the result when they resort to such a
step.
The state is bankrupt in treasury.
Already the governor has bean to Wall
street and borrowed money to pay
running expenses, and while the tax
rate has been increased, returns from
the various counties now being sent to
headq uarters show q further heavy
slump in values. Facing such condi-
ton, is this the time to incur heavy
expense not warranted by law, that it
may be made easy for few men to
vote!
The registration and election laws
made no exceptions in favor of soldiers
Why should they be set aside then in
this instance The law says that a
voter, in order to be qualified TO vote,
must be registered, and it prescribea
certain limitations as to time of resi-
dence in the county. Let the soldiers
vegiater as other good and law abiding
citizens must do, and if there are legal
obstacles which stand in the way.
whether it be in consequence Of having
enlisted or from other causes, let him
as g good citizen honor the law even
though it cause him to Lose his vote.

Sweep Your own Yard.

Efforts are being made in democratic
quarters to make capital Of the fact
that two negroes were delegates to the
Populist nominating convention. It is
in keeping with democratic methods tc
resort to such devices to get office but
in this they will fail. These negroes
are true and tried Populists, as are ma
ny others IN the country Of their race
and democratic money and liquor can
not buy them and accounts for all this
cry about their being delegates to the
populist convention. While the demo
Gratis are believing over the county
about this matter we will call their at
tention to the record of their party on
the negro question.
During MIR. Cleveland's two terms o!
office as president of the United States
he appointed many negroes to office
and during his last administration his
most notorious negro appointment was
that of c. FL. j. Taylor, former Allan
to negro, to the Office of Recorder
of Deeds for the District OF
Columbia. This is very important
and lucrative Office and in the of1ice at
the time Of this appointment were en-
ployed q number of white girls and
they were compelled TO either work
under Mr.. Cleveland's negro appointee
or give up their positions and most OF
them were poor girls and dependent
on their positions for livelihood. Why
don't the democratic party tell you
about that? We know this story is
not going to be relished by the bosses,
but it is fact as cold as wedge. The
appointment of Taylor, who appears to
have been a lifelong democrat, to some
position may have been necessity, but
it was not incumbent on Mr.. Cleveland
the democratic president TO give him
al Office where so many white girls
were employed. Do you think sol

expense to get few hundred, or thou
eand votes for his party is but very
small part. We have become q military
nation now, and having to hold foreign
colonies we must keep large standing
armies. just what our Governor is
proposing to do to help his party in the
state, the Republicans are figuring on
with the United States troops to for
eyer retain them in power. Soldiers
should not be allowed to vote at all. A
soldier is mere machine taught to

undesirable voter, who in large ma
jority of cases would vote as directed
by his officers. How long would it
be, after we make special provision by
law for soldiers to vote before we
would have military dicta torship?
Free the soldiers from restrictions in
regard to voters which apply to other
citizens, and send military commits
sion to the various camps to collect the
votes, and the army will elect our pres
idents and st&ts officers, and the days
Of military dictatorship will have be-
