"but the Atlanta mayor geta but

"Great guns!” ejaculated Mr. How
ard. "You don’t mean to nay Atlanta
in as big aa Augusta”’
By the time the responsive laugh
had subsided, the rlty attorney was on
hi* feel to explain that the proposed
change came under legislative enact
ment and the matter was dropped.
The City Printer Discussion.
The city printer discussion was very
Interesting. As elated. It wa* suggest
ed by Mr pfc’nlsy that the official print- ;
tng be let to the lowest responsible j
hltldcr on a bond of $5,000 approved by ■
the finance committee. In the same J
prragrapb Mr. ! Phinisy had It that
other than official printing also be let !
by contract.
Mr. Garrett made the point that the ■
proposition was Impracticable. His 1
jiolnt wss lhat Job printing could not j
be estimated in advance —the amount
of it. etc.—for an Intelligent bidding
end that newspapers only could do offi
cial printing and Job offices Job print
ing.
Mr. Phinlzy said his sole object was
to put out at contract such printing as
could be done by contract.
The Mayor—‘T wish to say that the
official printing is now done at a lower
price to the city than It is worth. If you
put out this position at contract you
might, on the same principle, put out
every office in the city at contract. The
official printing is new done for SI,OOO
per year. This includes all the official
printing of the city and the beard of
health. Including the registry list.”
In answer to a question by Mr. Rob
ertson, the mayor reiterated the work
done as official business.
Mr. Phiutzy—"Well, if it be found
that the city can get done for SSOO
work now done for SI,OOO, I say let us
get It dene.”
Mr. Castile—“l object to the pro
posed amendment.”
Further Discussion.
Id answer to a question, Mr. Phin
izy stated that his proposition did
eway* with the elective office of city
printer —that the newspapers, respon
sible and bonded, should come in and
bid to do the city printing, the con
tract going to the lowest and best bid
der.
At Mr. Rice's request, the .aw as it
stood was read.
After some further discussion, the
mayor expressed the opinion that the
preposition was new matter and
should be introduced as a separate or

hard working, sober men of the Fifth
ward.
"It bas been my pleasure for the law
four ear* to address tbe people who
first look me by tbe hand nnd made
tnr what lam lis placed In a
rather embarrassing ponuion tonight.
I <vua Invited to speak at a meeting In
this eard tha* was held. It was said,
for tbe purpose of holding n fair and
honest election but I discovered that
under the fair and honest election pur
pose lurked tbe hideous face of selfish
ness.
"It 1* only necessary to look at th*
personnel of the upholders of the fair
election to see of whal It is composed
The while primary U only a political
dodge and you can't strike It out.
What does th ■ white primary mean to j
the people of the Fifth? There ate
about 126 colored voter* In the ward.
In a Black-Watson conteat you might
squeeze in about 175. but you would
have lo raise nigg rs mighty fast.
These ptople, these Puritanic politi
cians. say they want a wiilte primary
—because they can't out-vote 125 ne
groes?
"They want to deprive men of ihelr
ballot “ho have the prerogative un
der the Constitution of the United
Slate* to exerciae that right. Cow
ardice takes no meaner form than
when the oppressor crusher* the weak.
They know that several hundred In
the Fifth are not registered and there
fore would not cdst their vole* in the
prlmaty.
"Didn’t Elliott endorse Mattison?
(Cri-s of "Yes, res.") This move
ment for a white primary i« purely to
cripple the administration. They de
sire lo cut off the power of one who
ban been elected to off ice. Th'r£
rxuld cut off his arms and then gay,
•You coward, why don’t yon hit
hack? 1
"I favor Mattison because he started
out a poor boy like myself and work
ed hia way up. He has passed by
trie. There can naught be staid
against him. if this Is so, then why
not support him? He i« not a party to
a clique or ring.”
After a sow more eulogies to Mr.
Mattison. and some more raps at the
primary, Mr. Picquett ended by say
ing:
"Do your duty like men. Give the
poor negro a chance. Don’t lie caught
like flies.’’
The Old War Horse.
The next Hpnaker was Major Oul
ledge, the "old war horse.” The crowd
yelled long for him and after a hit the
major came on the stand. He wore a
broad smile, hut no coat. lie is a
humorous speaker and the crowd like
to hear his remarks. When the vio
lent applause had died away the “old
war horse” spoke. “I have been intro
duced to you as the ’old war horse.’
but I think I am a Mattison war mule
that will pull this thing through.
(Much laughter.) I say you need not
be afraid of the primary don’t he

Mr. J. E. Carlledgc.
1 The last speaker at the meeting «**
Mr. J. h. Cartledge of The Trib
une.
Mr. Cartledge said It was Important
■that the primary matter be underaUrod.
He had heard and he supposed the oth
ers had heard tha certain people were,
going to support Rlltott because .Mat
tison would not consent to the while
primary.
He said that the dirtiest elect'olls
could be held in primaries, and that
there were plenty of white men who
would sell their voter as quick as ne
groes.
"The primary is the entering wedge
of in perlallam," said he. “I deny
that Mattison Is afraid to go Into a
primary. We arc not refusing to go
into a white primary because we are
afraid of it, but liecause we would de
fend tbe vote of the while man along
with that of the negro. 1 have done
all that I could do to bring about a
clean election, hut the primary Is not
the remedy for fraudulent ones. El
liott’s record In eotmcll is enough to
defeat him. anil Ilbalteve in Judging »
i man by his record. Mattison Is the
working man’s friend. We havtj
tried Mr. Elliott asid now let ua try Mr,
Mattison.”
A Circular.
At the meeting circulars were dis
tributed, of width the following is a
copy:
Here is the record.
"On December 4, 1893, a motion was
voted on In council to tax every poor
umrklngman three dollars to repi.ii the
at reets.
"The record shows that.—
“ ‘Mr. Lynch moved that council en
dorse and recommend a bill to the leg-
Isiature authorizing Hie city to collect
a street tax, just (he game ns the coun
ties do. the proceeds to he devoted to
the repairing of old and the building
of new thoroughfares. The resolution
was lost by a vote of Bio 4. The
ayes were: Elliott, Cosgrove, Lynch,
O. R. Lombard. The nays were: Ad
ams, Rutherford, Young, Smith, Shee
han. Daly, Dix, Platt.’
"Workingmen, will you vote for a
man who voted to place such an un
just burden upon you?”

answered that the Tribune hud only
! quoted a apeaker Mr. Tunkle then
created a laugh by answering that Mr.
Cart edge, of the Tribune, wa* the
speaker.
He then proceeded, stating that Mr.
Elliott showed that be wanted a pure
election by wishing for a primary and
that he should be supported for his ac
tion.
Mr. Tunkle had come from the
Third word. They were too good down
there to need elections, so had come
..p to see the fun In the Fifth. Down
I in the Third all went Oouley’s way. A
heavy weight had come out. but 'he
'next morning his excellency's paper -
] (he Chronicle- bad come out with such
a whine lhat the heavy weight had
crawled into his bole, taking the hole
I with him (laughter and aprluuse). "So
I hart to come up hern to see any fun
or to hear good apeaknrs ”
Messrs. Charles Plcquet end Abney
were eo led for. hut were not present.
Rev. Wm. Dunbar.
Rev. William Dunbar caught the
crowd at the outset, lie said someone
told him there were three meetings In
'.Vest End. One at church for God and
two at the halls fer the devil and al
though he wasn’t used to going to the
devil’s meeting he came ihere.
As far rs he could see there was on
ly one issue. The Fifth ward was
Populist and as long aa he could re
member the Populists had been crying
for fair elections and honest ballot.
His opinions had undergone a change.
Several years ago he was a strong nd
vocate of the brother In black. “I now
see that the greatest majority of their
votes are for sale, as are also many
wjiite votes.” When he first appeared
nt the polls the people thought it was
a shame for a preacher to get into such
a mess. He pulled off his coat, and
now he was glad to see lhat Hie best
citizens are shoulder to shoulder with
him for pure elections. "Even The
Herald has turned over a new |paf and
I's advocating fairness, hut I haven't
had much Influence on the Chronicle.
As for the Tribune, It was turning.
Home men had been overheard crying
that they would beat Elliott because
the." had the money to do so. MatTi
son does net mean to he unfair, but is
afraid. If not, why don’t they submit
to primary? Their excuses are no

The cltiseiis published a notice yester
day to have a mum meeting. My oppo

called a meeting. It i* a disrespect to
the ertixens.
"I went to the Mattison meeting last
Thursday <nd wa* courteous. Tonight
they got » band and paraded and dla
played signa rending. “Down with the
primary.” I say it la a disrespect to
the citizen*, for It means ’down with
white voters.'
"Ah to (he three hundred citizens to
lie debarred from voting, they make no
effort to meet my committee and ar
renge to allow thpse to vole.
"Why not have a while primary? I
know they arc lining this argiuncni
with the negroes to make votes

represent your wishes.”

Mr. W. H. Longer came next.
"If you knew a* much as I do about
voting negroes all will in* air the white
primaries. If you knew that fifteen 01
twenty negroes voted out cue hun
dred whites you would certainly he for
it. There ate honest negroes, but they
never vote, i'll tell you why. Shiftless
negroes are brought out and vote the
good negroes' names and when tlm
good negro comes to the polls he is
told that Im has voted.
"I want clean elections. 1 would
sooner be defeated than elected by the
corrupt negro vote."
After each of the speeches the band
struck up the music and a rousing
meeting was held.
At the conclusion of the last speech
"Dixie” was played and then tjic meet
ing adjourned.
