And the Chances for Demo
cratic Success There—Re
publican Inconsisten
cies—The People vs.
The Leprous Chi
nese and the
Gigantic Mo
nopolies.
. San Francisco, July 11, 1888.
Editor News:—Yournote of the
27fFf to hand inquiring the chances
for Democratic success in Califor
nia, Oregon and Nerada. In reply
1 must nt first remark tiiat it is un
profitable and altogether unncces
i sary to make a political argument
to your Georgia readers, for they
always vote right, but if it will be
of interest to you to knowhow mat
ters stand in this state in the pres
idential fight, I am only too happy
to tell you so far as my information
. will permit.
As I understand your inquiry,
you want to know what effect the
nomination of a pro-Cliinese advo
; cate by the Republicans will have
. as against the nomination by the
Democracy of anti-Chinesc stand
ard bearers. In order that you may
compr; liend the situation, it will be
necessary to refer somewhat briefly
to the inconsistency of the Repub
lican party on important questions
of public concern in the past fe'v
Byway of illustration we will
take the railroad fight that has oc
cupied the attention of both parties
for a long time. Several years prior
to 1882 the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads had been
charging excessive rates for freight
and fares, and the laws being inad
equate to prevent such extortion,
the people concluded that the only
way to adjust the matter would be
through the legislature. The de
mand for relief was pressing, as the
very life-blood of the state was be
ing suck; d by the brigands who
controlled the corporations. The
Republican party met in sialo con
vention in 1882 and adopted a plat
form which denounced the mana
gers of these roads as robbers and
public enemies and demanded the
passage of such laws by the legisla
ture as would curb the avaricious
monopolists and secure to the peo
ple equitable rates for work per
formed on the roads that the gov
ernment had supplied the money to
construct. The Democracy adopted
a similar platform and were success
ful before the people. The Demo
cratic majority in the legislature
was small and the railroad compa-
I nies had no trouble in buying up a
' half dozen to prevent the passage
' of such measures as the people de
manded. Ever, Republican in both
the senate and assembly voted with
the traitorous Democrats and a
railroad victory followed of course.
In 1881 when the Republican con
vention met to select delegates to
represent them in their national
convention, not a word was said in
• convention of the men who had vio
lated their pledges to the people as
legislators, although the companies
were bolder in their extortion than
ever before and were then defying
the authorities of the state to col
lect the taxes due from them for
the support of the government. In
stead of rcaliirming their platform
-of ’B2 they elected as delegates to
nominate Blaine several owners and |
cmplov rs of the railroad company.
I Owing; 'division in the Democratic i
p: riy that year, brought about by the
■ action of its state convention in
■ kicking ouiof the party those mem
bers of the legislature that had sold
out to the. railroad, the Republicans
elected the legislature which body
chose lor United States Senator
Leland Stanford the president of
the Central Pacfic and Southern
Pacific railroads, and the very man
whom t heir platform two years be
fore h:i l denounced as a robber and
an enee.ij' of the people. Their del
egation t > the last national conven
tion v,:u; openh- selected from
among railroad attorneys and em
ployees whose every vote and act
1
while at Chicago was directed from
railroad headquarters in this cite.
Their somersault on this question
is only one of their many gymnas
tic feats, and in view of their agili
: < i ci agi ; i front in matters of i
great p; -lie ini;' ut.ince : C ‘past i
it will ■ d best:, arising t -s them I ‘
vote to a man for Leo Chuck Har
rison.
Among the masses’ in the state
there arc no two opinions of the
Chinese question. The fifteen sen
ators that voted to admit ami nat
uralize the Chinese in 1882 in the
senate of the United States arc
looked upon as enemies of Ameri
can institutions. By their votes
they said they were in favor of in
viting to our shores the leprous,
opium-soaked and morally-degrad
ed heathens to compete in every
avenue of industry with free labor
and to ruin our boys and girls with
■ heir detestable vices. To the
I glory of the Democratic party be it
said, that but one senator of that
political faith was so narrow-mind
ed and short-sighted as to vote in
favor of the Chinese, but that one
i hailed from the state of Georgia in
the person of Hon. Joseph E. Brown.
Mr. Harrison is not only unpopu
lar with us out here on account of
his peculiar views on the Chinese
question. He is equally distasteful
to the body of voters by reason of
his unwarranted desire to shoot
down the striking railroad men in
Indianapolis in 1877. The labor
unions arc strong on this coast, and
judging from conversations had
with their leaders they are apt to
knife him solidly in November. The
only fight the Democracy has to
make is to see that the thousands
of men employed by the rich leaders
of the Republican party are not
b 'lidozcd. If they have ai: oppor
tunity to cast their votes uninflu
enced by the railroad and manufac
turing kings the result will be a
rousing Democratic victory.
It is unnecessary to take up your
space in a eulogy of Cleveland. He
is regarded here as the foremost
statesman of the century, while
Thurman has always been looked
upon as the champion of Pacific
coast interests. For such a ticket
every Democrat can work, and he
who stands aloof and t:i!:es no part
i. rolling up, the majority is con
sidered devoid of public spirit and
should be disfranchised. Every
man is in battle array and the
enemy is on the defensive.'
It would amuse you to read the
Republican papers of this city.
They intimate that Harrison will
say in his letter of acceptance that
lie is sorry for his vote on the Chi
nese question, and if he does they
will forgive him. Their argument
on the tariff is childish—a desper
ate attampt being made to prove
that the Mil'-' bill is sectional in its
operation.—-claiming that every
thing- that the south sells is pro
tected by the bill while everything
they buy, English o.d Korlin-m.
competition is provide'l for. Every
man that heard a rebel gun from
’(Il to '35 is promised a pension,
while the solid South i ■ a subject
for almost daily editorials. But we
welcome every issue and feel confi
dent that California will cast her
vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
In Nevada polities is something
of a lottery. Ever since I have
been on the coast the fight in that
state has been between the Sacks
of Comstock millionaires for a seat
in the United States senate. At
this time Senators Stewart and
Jones are running that state and it
is very probable that they will de
liver its electoral vote to Harrison
and Morton.
In Oregan there bus been a large
Republican immigration in the last
few years, and the Democracy lias
little show in that state. In my
judgement California is ail the
I Democrats can expect to cany at
this election.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, it
would be unpatriotic in me if I did
not offer to give the people of your
state reliable information concern
ing California. lam not interested
b; any land schemes, but if any of
your renders desire to come to the
best state in the Union it; w ill give
me pleasure to furnish them with
literature descriptive of this mag
nificent commonwealth.

With abundant evidence of iron,

county has had the back century

i the aid of the patient ox or the
agile equine until the iron horse
, lias arrived on a railway which can

, der. Summerville the county seat
; of Chattooga county was the home
or headquarters of the Cherokee
and other Indian tribes in ages past
and it is as true as the N. E. & S.
W. statement, that whenever the
Red man squatted the waters were
in purity and plenty and the grass
grew green. They always chose
- where nature’s smile was blandest
, and where their poetic temperament
was aided by the impressive grand
. eur of their surroundings. With
the lovely ridges wide enough apart
. to enhance the beauty and yet not
cramp the space—undulating val
. leys are watered with springs and
stream, so pure and clear that the
pebbles can be counted. The
I springs are as strong and sponta-
■ neons in their bursting and bub
. bling grandeur that the hotest sea-
• son causes no dimunition of quan
tity and only grants a more cooling
temperature to the springs. The
engine power of a World’s Exposi
tion could be steam supplied from
one spring, while the numerous
water powers could keep in motion
as many mills as wind keep going
in Holland.
From the banks of rills, rivulets
and rivers clover, timothy and blue

Two hundred cows make a good

I your readers what kind of a place
'' Summerville is and in the event of
strangers coming here the kind of
1 friends they are likely to meet:
' SUMMEKVII.T.K,
' the county seat of Chattooga coun
-5 ty, is in Northern Georgia, with one
county intervening between it and
1 Tennessee, while it is about ten
> miles only from the Alabama state
line. The Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus railway which runs a
passenger and a freight train each
way per day, promises to be one of
the best paying and one of the best
equipped railroads in America. The
bed by nature of the soil and good
building will be firm and although
very circuitous, good time will bo
made. By rail Summerville is for
ty-three miles from Chattanooga
' and thirty-four from Rome and
the two cities have every reason to
• be active in catering for its trade
as a livelier business point is not in
the South taking population into
' consideration.
The region is famed for its cot
ton and its corn and Summerville is
the centre of a county which an
swers the Biblical description of
the land that flows with milk and
honey. Jerseys, Durhams and
Holstein? are being brought to per
fection and bee culture has long
been a study and a pleasure. Sum
merville and surroundings are no
ted for the true Southern ling of
fellowship and the open heart and
palm of hospitality. The very
streets are 120 feet wide avenues,
shaded by thick leaved and hand
some mulberry trees. In the center
of the main thoroughfare, stretch
’ “hitchers” for the horses and the
mulberries here and there afford
greatful shade and almost make
' two avenues of one. The annoy
-1 ance of horses and mules near the
'• sidewalks is thereby dispensed with
and carriage way and biped locom
otion non-disturbed. It is a sight
to see Summerville any day, but
Saturday especially. The numer
ous business houses are full—the
sidewalks show stalwart farmers

and got away from it. Hills arc
near the town to lend their bcauli

the hill}’ shoulder.-; in part look as
soft as emeral velvet. Peeping
from green and russet leafy covering
spires appear and a few modest wee
whitened cottages cuddle ncath the
hills. The broad avenues stretch
