The old custom of joint deba1 between candidates for piominei otHces, such as Governor, lTnit< States Senator, and Kepresentati' in Congress, is still retained in number of States, and some i them cling to it with great tenacit There are- intelligent and though ful citizens who contend that it a custom more honored in tl breach than in the ohscn*anc and there are others of equal c i paeity who believe that such <1 j bates are an almost indispensali prereipiisite of a properly co ducted election. In states where nomination is equivalent to i election? as, for instance, in Sou Carolina, Georgia and Mississip ? the joint debates are bet we members of the same party, ai an? the chief features of the eunvr for support in the primaries. States where the existence of t> or more strong parties rendc the retults of elections doubtfi the principal joint debates are I tween the nominess of the conter ing parties. Just now an int< esting, if not exciting, contest 1 the Democratic nomination 1 Governor of Georgia is in pre ress.

But the political conelition in Georgia are online those in th Palmetto State. In fact, Soutl Caredina is the only State in wliic the Populists have captured th I)emocratio macliine and the- pai ty name, and run away with it.
