That Secret Conference.
It stood to reason that that arcb-hipo
<rite, the Southern Railway's Macon news
paper, couldn’t keep up the deception for
very long. And, sure enough, its game
has lieen fully exposed. While professing
neutrality in the present gubernatorial
lace, it has liven stabbing Colonel Candler
in the back at every turn and legging al
ternately for Atkinson and Berner, but
more particularly for Atkinson.
The Telegraph is regarded by Judge At
kinson as his chief organ, and the recent
se< r< t conference held in its office, which
the Atlanta Constitution has discovered
and exposed, was a very natural thing.
Yet. It may surprise those few people who
had b< lleved in the Telegraph’s profes
sions of neutrality.
Yesterday's Constitution simply wipes
up the earth with the Southern’s news
paper. In a lengthy editorial the Consti
tution walks all over the Telegraph, and
exposes its methods to the fullest, extent.
The editorial in question is so full of in
terest and so to the [>olnt. that The News
feels that it owes it to the honest voters
of Georgia to reproduce it. It is as fol
lows:
Tho Atkinson-Berner secret night con
ference in the editorial sanctum of the
(Macon Telegraph threatens to assume in
teresting proportions.
Tho politicians are discussing it, the
people are talking about it, and gosisp
runs high on account of it.
Thete are a number of interesting cir
cumstances coneeted with this conference
that make it plquantly suspicious. In the
first place, it was intended that the meet
ing should be a secret one. There was no
hint given to the public. On Friday, tho
day after the conference took place, the
Telegraph had announced by implication
that Senator Berner was in one part of
.the state and Judge Atkinson in another.
On tho evening of that day the two can
didates arrive in Macon, refresh the inner
man, proceed as If by prearrangement to
ithe editorial room of the Macon Telegraph,
and are there closeted together in private
conference for some time. It was only by
the merest accident that their presence
in tho office of the Telegraph was made
known.
Now', if this conference had not been a
secret one—if there bad been no intention
of keeping the matter from the public
some mention of it would of course have
been made in the columns of the Tele
graph. Any paper that prints the news
•would have announced the next morning
(that tho candidates had not only been in
the city the day before, bfit had visit
ed the office of the Telegraph. But there
was not a word about the matter in Fri
day's Telegraph. Instead of that there
were announcements that Judge Atkinson
ibad spoken at Irwinton the day before,
and that Senator Berner had addressed the
people at Perry; not a word about the
fact that the two candidates had slipped
into the editor’s sanctum the night before
in search of —"war news.”
Since there was a guarded secrecy in
regard to the meeting, as far as the Tele
graph was'concerned, and since the public
has been compelled to secure information
in regard to it from outside and accidental
sources, the conclusion is irresistible that
the object of the meeting was to promote
some object in regard to which public
knowledge was neither necessary nor de
viitable some object, indeed, which adver
vertisement would embarrass.
This being so. the secret meeting could
have been held for but one of two pur
poses, namely: (1) To consider whether
or not one or the other of the two candi
dates should retire, withdraw from the
race; or (2) to secure a form of co-oper
ation between the two which would give
promise of compromising the defeat of
Colonel Candler.
We may brush aside the first sugges
tion as having small basis. The with
drawal of either one of these two candi
dates would be a humiliating confession
of utter defeat—a surrender of the whole
case. The moment may come—indeed, if
it has not already come—when one or the
other may feel in the humor for retiring,
but it is too early In the game-for.such a
suggestion to' materialize now. Having
arrived before the public (so to speak) as
candidates with definite and different plat
forms of reform and public amelioration,
they must now face the music and fight it
out. at least until the consciousness is
pressed home upon them that the choice
of the people falls elsewhere.
They have not even, as yet, fulfilled
their acceptance of the invitation of the
Muscogee executive committee to meet in
Columbus in joint debate. This is an en
gagement of a somewhat peremptory na
ture, and it seems to be fitting that they
should appear before the Democrats of
(Muscogee, each laying down his own plat
form of his opponent. Both have accepted
•the invitation to do so.
As to the second suggestion of the pur
pose of the secret consultation—an effort
to secure a more promising form of co
operation between the two candidates to
secure the defeat of Colonel Candler—
something more may be said. There is
only one form of co-operation possible,
and that we shall refer to presently. Under
the present plan of conducting the Demo
cratic primary, the people will vote di
rectly for the candidate of their choice,
and the candidate who receives the most
votes will get the county delegates to the
state convention.
The only possible plan of co-operation
between the two candidates for the defeat
of the third, would be for Atkinson to re
fuse to run in counties where Berner
seems to be the stronger of the two and
for Berner to refuse to run in counties
where Atkinson seems to have the strong
er following—each throwing his vote to
Ihe other, and against tho third candidate
as the recognized strongest man.
Such co-operation as that which we have
Just outlined may not be attempted in
deed. but we have the best reason in the
world for believing that it would utterly
and completely fail. And that .reason is
very simple. It involves not only the
manipuation of individuals, but the de
livery of the votes of bodies of men. It
Involves the manhood of the voters. This
may be an easy matter in communities
where, at odd times, the operatives, the
"help,” the laborers, the wage-earners
are made to feel that their employment
.depends on the vote they east. This was
notoriously effective in 1896 at the east
and in the middle west where huge cor
porations and vast manufacturing concerns
marshaled their slaves and compelled them
<o vote at the polls for the maintenance
of the gold standard.
But the success of such manipulation
depends on the conditions peculiar to those
communities where, especially in hard
•times, the very life of the laboring men
depends on their compliance with the un
just demands of their employees. No such
conditions exist in Georgia, as we all
know. The voters who are for Atkinson
pre as warmly opposed to Berner as they
are to Candler. Those who are for Ber
ner arr against Atkinson as well as Cand
ler. Th< y recognize no suci» necessity as
would be involved in transferring their
support from one of the two candidates
to the other in order to defeat a third.
Any program of that sort would crumble
to pieces the moment the sun shone on it.
This line of comment could be suggested
only by the secret conference between two
candidates in the office of the Macon Tel
egraph. And surely it was a very strange
place for two Ijemocrata to hold any kind
of a conference, secret or open. The fact
gives a peculiar flavor to the meeting.
Here is a newspaper which has been and
is now lighting the Democratic platform
tooth and toe nail. Only a little while ago
it declarbd -that the Democratic party, in
favoring the remonetization of silver, was
engaged in "the biggest and boldest game
of bunko ever played on the people.” This
is merely one instance out of thousands
of the active hostility of the Telegraph to
the Democratic party in Georgia. And vet
the innermost bowels of this anti-Demo
cratic establishment are selected as the
one place (of all places in the com mon ■
wealth) where two candidates for the
Democratic nomination for governor may
hold a secret consultation.
but are the people of Georgia to think
of such an unexpected development? How
are they to hold their suspicions in check?
Well if there is anything in this world
calculated to convince the Democratic
voters of Georgia that Allen D. Candler
manifested the highest wisdom in refusing
the proposition for a three-cornered de
bate, >t js this latest development of a
secret understanding between his oppo
nents. The plot was to sandwich him be
t-.veen two opposing forces having a com
men interest. He was to have been made
the victim of a combined assault on the
part of a brace of united opponents.
He saw through the scheme with half
an eye, and has loft his opponents in the
air, as it were, where they have been
wearing themeselves out. fighting political
windmills. A real joint debate seems not
at all to their taste, or they could have
accommodated themselves long ago; at the
very least, they could have fulfilled their
engagement in Columbus. Instead of that,
they are found caucussing in the office of
that wonderful example of Demorepubll
cancy, the Macon Telegraph.
We do not expect anybody to be sur
prised at the development on which we
have been commenting. It is in the at
mosphere; the air is vibrating with it.
With that inner sense which belongs to
large bodies the people had already begun
to suspect that there are only two cam
paigns going on in Georgia—one in behalf
ot Candler and the other against him.
The secret consultation in the sky parlor
of tile Macon Telegraph nails and clinches
the suspicion.
And yet, in spite of this, the people will
have fair play!
Yesterday’s Telegraph attenfpfced to ex
plain the "Secret Conference,” but its ex
pl'anation utterly failed to explain. And
this is tho way the Constitution disposes
of the explanation:
CAUGHT IN THE ACT!
We reproduce elsewhere, in full, the
editorial reply of the Macon Telegraph to
the exposure of the secret conference in
the Telegraph office, on Thursday night,
of Messrs. Atkinson and Berner.
It. is in the nature of a confession, for
it must be remembered, though three days
late, this is the first announcement of the
Telegraph that these two distinguished
candidates for governor were even in Ma
con, much less in the Telegraph’s office
on Thursday night. Had the Constitution
and other newspapers of the state not pub
lished the news of the meeting the people
would have been left in blissful ignorance
of the fact that these two candidates had
gotten together.
if the Telegraph had on Friday morning
published even ONE LINE noting the
presence in the city of the two principals
to tho conference, it could with more pro
priety have defended Its position that there
was no significance to be attached to the
meeting. Instead of this, however, it pub
lished specials from tiyo different parts of
the state showing that Mr. Borner was in
Irwinton, and .Mr. Atkinson in Perry on
the day of their Macon conference. No
newspaper in Georgia, not even the least
pretentious, would have suppressed the
news of the presence of twm candidates for
governor in the city of its publication,
much less while they were under it roof,
unless it had some motive to serve by
such suppression. The only other explana
tion that the Telegraph can offer is that it
Is not a newspaper, and that It does not
pretend to present the news.
If this meeting had taken place in any
other newspaper office in Georgia it might
have been passed as being without mate
rial significance, had even the bare fact of
the presence in the city of the two candi
dates been mentioned. But the Telegraph’s
diligent and guarded effort at secrecy,
taken in connection with its well known
antagonism to the Democratic platform,
of which it is a daily assailant, gives to
this conference a significance which will
find its surest expression in the increased
size of Colonel Candler’s majority on June
6th. ,
Let’s have no more secret dickers, gen
tlemen; let’s fight the contest in the open
and in sight of all the people! The thing
that commends Colonel Candler’s candi
dacy above all other things is that it
stands on a corner stone of popular con
fidence, and that it docs not look to poli
tical trickery and secret conferences for
promotion!
Spanish and American Navies.
Inasmuch as it is generally agreed that,
in case of war with Spain, the preliminary
struggles will be on the water, it is of
chief importance to note the relative
strength of the Spanish and American
navies.
In naval warfare less depends upon the
size of the country, its wealth and popu
lation, than upon the number of fighting
machines to be used. This fact was forci
bly demonstrated in the war between
Japan and China, in which the smaller of
the two nations was easily victorious be
cause of the superiority of its navy.
While the statistics do not show Spain’s
navy to be superior to our own. it is never
theless, admitted to be its equal in nearly
every respect. This being so it follows that
we cannot expect to have a walk-over in
case of war with Spain. Indeed, it is by
no means certain that we could conquer
Spain on the water. The two qavies being
of nearly the same size, the outcome
would depend largely upon skill and
chance, and no man, therefore, can now
say what would be the reslut.
However we may *be disposed to view
the matter, it is none the less interesting
to cdhsider the relative eize and strength
of the two nations. The News publishes
below a table which gives ip a concise way
all information of value. The- table does
not include, however, the Vessells recently
published by both nations.

Relatives ct Murderea Man Want to See Pa
roled Convict Taken.
Anderson. Ind., \pril 11. —Relatives of
Wtston B. Thomas, the wealthy nail msm
uricturer from here, who was murdered
five years ago by Winnie Smith, near In
dianapolis, will take action at once to have
Snjitii returned to prison. He was parol-_
ed from the Jeffersonville reformatory, and
Governor Mount has declared that he does
not -approve of the parole. Thomas is
‘buried at Frankfort. Ky. He was reputed
to be worth almost half million, and had
been married but a year when he was kill
ed. His widow was'recently married at I
Muncie, and has the finest residence in
that city. The trouble between Smith and
Thomas came up. it is said, because Thom
as objected to a young woman friend hav
ing anything to do with Smith, who was
considered a “spender" and dudish fellow.
