AN ANNOUNCEMENT Bv William H, Fish to the Democratic Voters of Georgia, Atlanta. Ga.. June 13.1898. To the Democracy of Georgia: On Thursday, the 23rd day of 'this month, you will be called upoci to express your choice for three members of the su preme court, viz.: a Chief Justice, an As sociate Justice for a full term of six years, and an Associate Justice for an unexpiired term of two years. 1 am a candidate to sueecd myself and am offering for the full term. , l\s almost my entire time has been, and is now being, devoted to the discharge of my official duties. I adopt this means'*of pFvsen.tin.g some of the reasons ugtou whLb 1 ask your suppout. and 1 request each Jf you to read this communication and give it an impartial consideration. 'After an honorable contest in which 1 did nothing unfair or unbecoming. 1 was nominated for the office 1 hold and subse quently elected without opposition. Jus tices Little, t’obb and myself were chosen on a joint ticket, without disjunction as to the length of our terms; but in drawing for them, .is the law required, the short term, by mere chance, fell to me. It has be. n the unbroken usage of the Democratic party to accord a re-election to every offi cial. even after serving a full term, if he has been faithful to his trust I have ear nestly endeavored to be faithful to mine, ami tli.-r. fore feel that I ouglw not to be displaced after serving only onr-third of a regular term. I respectfully submit that tthe candidacy of Judge Gobe was not begun, and has not been conducted, in a fair and legitimate manner Th. re are. as stated above, three disttinet places to he filled. This was fully understood from the beginning, for the chairman of .the Democratic Executive Committee of the State plainly so an nouned. and at ithe same time prescribed the form of the ballot to be used. Judge Gob.r v.Ji knew this, and yet did not an nounce far any .particular term, 'but gen erally for "on.- of the places." I charge that he pursued this course deliberately and intentionally for the purpose of taking his chance < a. ainst all three of the present Bicurnb. nt- now seeking re-election. Fi nally. w hen eoinpell. d to unequivocally declare his position, it appears that he is running against myself; but before saying ®o in plain En-Misb h < has earned on an active canvass by which he sought to gain all t tie advantages po.seible from a general candidacy- without appearing to oppose any one. The unfairness of this course is Plain, and the various ways in which it could be worked, and has been worked, aaamst me aru obvious. I do not believe lb.it such a method es seeking this high office should be encouraged or endorsed. It is unjust, not only to myself, but to ths people. H> whom Judge Gober owed the duty of saying promptly and candidly ■which justice of this court he desired to supplant, so that they could understand ingly express their ehoice. What occurred in some of those counties which, in -the recent primary, voted for the nomination of supreme court justices, forcibly- illustrates what is said above. Tickets containing the names of the four "* n didates, but not specifying <be particu lar ittau lor which any one of them was running .were prepared by Judge Gober, er hi.- frieqds, and used to coticeaU t*ce fact that he had al last decided to run against me, the design, of course, being to pro cure voles tor himself oy telling volets ;o strike aoy one name they pleased, so long as they left hi« on the ticket. No candid man uati or will assert that this was deal ing fairly, either with me or with the voters, the more especially when this plan was practiced in counties in which 1 had no notice at all that an election as to me justices would he held on that day. in Fayette county tickets were used upon which the following appeared: "For Chief Justice, Thomas J. Simmons. For Associate Justice (full term), GEO. F. GOBER, tor Associate. Justice (unex pired term, two years), h. T. Lewis, W. H. b'ish. Ibe purpose could have been noth ing else but to mislead voters into the be lief that there was a contest for the SHORT term between Justice Lewis and myself, and thus leave an open field for Judge Gober for the FULL term; whereas, the persons who prepared this device knew perfectly well that there was no opposition between Judge Lewis and myself, but that 1 was a oar *didate to succeed myself for the b ULL term. It would be difficult to con ceive anything mare palpably unfair than this. 1 have letter from a reliable gervtleman in which, speaking with reference to Walker county, he says: “There was no election held in this county on last ..Mon day, the 6th instant, tor supreme court judges. Ibe executive committee met on Tuesday, the 7<h, juat to <onsolila . -m ' vote cast for governor and state house officers and congressmen, and, after con solidating the vote, then selected delegates lo attend the convention to nominate su prem count judges, and selected delegates favorable to Judge Gober. The people did not vote on it. This requires no comment. Judge Gober has sent out numerous let ters and circulars, many of which are full of cheap “clap-trap” to catch votes. For instance, in a number of them addressed to farmers, he i>oses as an agriculturist; and to some he sent photographs represent ing himself as superintending the packing of peaches for shipment to the market. Surely such methods are not -to be com mended. 'Everybody knows that we want for Judges men who have a knowledge of Ihe law. and that farmers, however hon orable their calling, have not the train ing for such offices. This sort of elec tioneering is a direct reflection upon the intelligence of our farmers, but I do not •believe they are so densely ignorant as to approve of Judge Gober’s absurd sugges tion that they put him on the supreme bench, forsooth, because he is a “farmer." But the judge, in some of his circulars— and in at least one newspaper articles signed by himself —is doing something even less -worthy of public approbation. He is attacking the efficiency and insinu ating against the uprightness of the mem bers of the present bench. Four of them (Justices Lumpkin, Little, Cobb -and my self) hold their present commissions di rectly from the people under a unanimous election. The chief justice has been re peatedly elected by the legislature with out opposition; and Justice Lewis is now holding under an executive appointment. I do no't believe that the people will re ceive patiently or view favorably attacks of this kind upon their highest court; and in my judgment, they will hesitate to place on this bench a man whose ambi tion is so inordinate that he does not scruple to charge that this court is per vehting the law and that he should be put upon the supreme bench in the role of a “reformer.” This method of campaigning ought, in my opinion, to be rebuked at the polls. In a published communication Judge Gober skates, in effect, that he cares very little personally for a seat upon the su preme bench, and that his candidacy arose from the fact that he was put forward by these to whom it seemed that reforms in 'the administration of the law were needed. This statement accords but Ml with the fact that he has sent out thou sands of circulars seeking support, and is not consistent with his otherwise indus trious candidacy, nor with the fact that he is resorting to the above and other like means for the purpose of securing a nomination. The call of Cincinnatus from the plow did not evoke from him such re markable evidence of the fact that it had been heard, nor such an unseemly exhi bition of personal eagerness to respond to it. The judge has been making a button hole canvass of the state, going from one place to another and making personal ap peals for suport. This is not only unfair to an opponent who is remaining at his post of duty, but is not, I submit, becom ing in a race for this exalted office. In placing the election of judges before the people, it was never contemplated that this sort of tactics would prevail or be countenanced. If it should be rewarded with success. I predict that the time is not distant when the judiciary will be dragged.into the mire of general politics— an evil Which every good citizen will de plore. In some of his circulars Judge Gober states that he was defeated in the con vention which nominated me by a “com bination.” In making this charge he must have been oblivious of the.means he employed prior to the meeting of that con vention. and during its session, in advan cing bis own candidacy’ before it. and he must have entirely forgotten how he be gan and ha® perpetuated his career as an offlce-holder. There are in Georgia scores of men whose memory in this respect will be found more accurate. In conclusion I beg to say that though |I have used some very plain language, every word I have said has been carefully weighed and is the truth. And while I regret the necessity which has been forced upon me of publishing this communica tion, I cannot in justice to myself remain silent and allow the means which have been and are now being employ to defeat me. to pass unnoticed and unanswered. This is the only way in which I can get before those who are to pass upon my stewardship the facts upon which their judgment should be based. I am simply seeking at the hands of my- countrymen a fair showing, of which I feel extraord inary- and unwarranted efforts have been made to deprive me. and to which the humblest citizen is entitled.

Ray’s regiment of immunes is charged in some quarters .with being the cause of the delay in the call being made for the thir regiment of Georgia volunteers. But the war department has ailready an nounced that the regiments already formed in the differunt states will be allowed to recruit to t'hciir full strength before the second call is made in the various states. If the war department is delaying tho call to prevnt a conflict between the re cruiting officers of Ray's regiment and thu new regiment, the delay is absolutely use less, it is said. It has already been an nounced that the Georgia regiment would be raised, and this simple announcement has determined many to wait for the Geor gia regiment, as they much prtefer to go with the state volunteers than to go with the imunes. • One company which was raised for the regiment of imunes will not go, but will wait until the Georgia regiment is called. This company wil be "commanded by Cap tain Ripley, of the Atlanta Rilles. He can easily get enough men for a company withoin two days’ time, he says, and Messrs. Westmoreland and Haralson, who were going with Captain Ripley, have gone to work to raise their company and have succeeded in raising over thirty. They will soon have enough men to make up the company. The public is responding to the calls for troops very slowily. Immediately following the announcement that the Georgia regi ment would be raised there was a great falling off in the number or recruits en listed at Colonel Ray’s recruiting station here. Ther sefcms to be a feeling among the people that the Georgia regiment will have a better showing in tihe war, and they show a preference for this regiment. Many mtlhers ass the state milwia will respond to the call when it comes. They are all of a high class of men and are men who would not go except with a fine state organization. So far it has been impos sibel to gain any satisfactory information from the Washington authorities and nothing is known as t'he class of troops which will be called for from this state. NOTICE.

According to the Figaro of Paris, the French Red Cross has recently opened a subscription for the benefit of the future wounded of the Spanish-American war and has headed it with a contribution of 50,00'0 francs. “To speak frankly,” saya tho writer of the article, “we owe this ac tion to foreign nations, for they all showed an admirable generosity toward our wounded during the war of 1870-1. The United States sent us at that time (500,00() francs; Canada, 300,000; Spain, 20,000; Italy, 19,000; little Denmark, 160,000; the Argentine Republic, 250,000; Chile, 100,000; Peru, 60,000; Russia, 50,000; in all about 3,000,000 francs. “Our Red Cross, having spent more than 12,500,000 francs for our wounded during the fatal year, had still remaining in its treasury more than 2,000,000 francs At present the society has on hand 8,000,- 000 francs. It sent to Spain 30,000 francs for the wounded in the Carlist yvar, 29®’- 000 in the Turco-Russian war, 90,000 for the wounded in Tunis, 530,006 for Ton quin, 316,000 for Madagascar—in all 8,000,000 francs since the war with Ger many.
