The Georgia Election.

Several State elections have been held since June 21, when the Democratic party nominated Grover Cleveland for President of the United States. These elections have occurred at different times. In every instance the Democrats have gained. These States were remote from eaeh . other —Maine and Florida, Vermont and Arkansas. And now comes Georgia with a Democratic majority of about 70,000. The Populites declared at Omaha that they would carry the State of Ben Hill and Alexander Stephens. It was in that State where it was supposed the Ocala doctrines had taken the firmest root It was In that State where the Populites had been most aggressive. But the result of the election shows Georgia had not been affected in the slightest degree by the assault. Her Democrats are true to the old banner, and they have grandly demonstrated their unswerving fealty to the party of Thomas Jefferson. The stars in their courses are fighting for the Democracy, and victory is in the air. The people have turned to Grover Cleveland as the man to lead them out of the distresses brought upon them by the maladministration of the Republican party during the last thirty years. They will not be content with the specious promises and unsubstantial dreaas of the third party. They are demanding a restoration of the government to the Jeffersonian basis, and they look to the Democratic party and its leaders to abolish class legislation. The news from Georgia

will inspire confidence among Democrats throughout the Union. The supreme test of the power of the third party was made in Georgia, and the blow struck by the Georgia Democrats has been a finishing stroke. It will not recover. The exposure of the numSbical weakness of the party has been complete.—Appeal-Avalanche.
