GARDEN,
The Furniture man
CANDLER MAKES
CORRECTION.
He Explains What He Meant
by Eree Silver as a Car
dinal Doctrine.
IT IS A PARAMOUNT ISSUE
He Says, and Was Surprised When
He Found Ithat He Had Been
Placed in Erroneous Light.
A representative of the Constitution
meeting Colonel Candler, who has, for sev
eral days, been confined at home by sick
ness in his family,called attention to edi
torials in the Macon Telegraph, Griffin
News and Valdosta Times, concerning his
position on the coinage question.
The colonel, with his usual candor and
directness, said; “Yes, I have read them
with some suprpise. I supposed every
reading man in Georgia fully understood
my position of this question.
“In September last, in an interview pub
lished in the Atlanta Constipation, I said:
'Before real, permanent prosperity returns
to the tolling millions, silver coinage must
be restored.'
"In my letter announcing my candidacy,
I said I was 'in favor of the coinage of
both gold and silver, at all our mints,
free and unlimited, without discrimination
against either ’
“In my opening spceeh,, in the city of
Rome, on the 28th of March, I said: 'I be
lieve in an adequate volume of currency,
consisting of the gold and silver of the
constitution, coined at all our mints free
and unlimited, without discrimination
against either, supplemented by a paper
circulation sufficient in volume to meet all
the requirements of trade, redeemable on
demand in gold or silver coin. I believe
the tax now imposed by federal law on the
issue of state banks is unconstitutional
and void, because it was imposed, not to
raise revenue, but to create and foster
monopoly.'
"In my last speech delivered at Mil
ledgeville on the 20th of last month, I
said- T indorse the declarations of the last
national Democratic platform, Including
that on the much-mooted question of coin
age. I believe that the establishment of
the single gold standard in our coinage
was a mistake which has caused a ruinous
shrinkage in values, arrested enterprise,
lowered the price of labor and of the pro
ducts of labor, and has brought upon the
debtor class, which constitutes a large
majority of our citizens, much unneces
sary distress. Hence, I am In favor of the
restoration of the unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at all our mints, with
out discrimination against either, as was
the case for three-quarters of a century:
and I do not believe that we will ever en
joy that full measure of prosperity enjoyed
In ante-bellum days, until the old coinage
warn may for a time observe the coinage
laws are practically restored. Foreign
questions create diversions and raise new
issues, but, like Banquo’s ghost, the silver
question will not down until the white
metal is fully restored to its ojd place in
the coinage. These are my views wn
national matters, and they are the views
of most Democrats; but some as good men
and loyal 'Democrats as I am differ from
us on this question of coinage. I would
not exclude them from the party councils
because they differ from us on this one
question, so long as they accept the party
party platform and vote the party ticket;
and if time should demonstrate that they
are right and that I am wrong, I will be
quick to get in line with them; and if it
should demonstrate that. I am right and
they are wrong, as I firmly believe will be
the case, then they will get in line with
us on this, as they already are on all other
party questions.’
"It is true I have often said ‘free coin
age is not a cardinal doctrine of Democ
racy.' I have used the word ‘cardinal’ in
the sense of original. In this sense it is
not cardinal nor distinctive. Mr. Jefferson
made no declaration on the subject, be
cause at that time—and at all times up to
1873 —it was not a party question. All
parties, Republicans and federalists, whigs
and Democrats, Jefferson and Hamilton,
agreed on the free and unlimited coinage
of both metals and It was the law. There
was absolutely no dissent from this
policy. Al! men of all paries stood on this
question precisely where I and the vast
majority of Georgia Democrats stand to
day. in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of both metals without discrimina
tion against either.
“I have also often said that I w-ould not
exclude from tbe party councils those true
and loyal Democrats who conscientiously
believe in the single gold standard so long
as they bow to the expressed will of a ma
jority of the pary, accept the party plat
form and vote the party ticket. I have
been sincere in all of these declarations
I have not changed or modified my opinion
one iota. I still believe that the best,ln
terests of the people of this country de
mand the restoration of the free and un
limited coinage of both metals. I still be
lieve that that minority of ’Democrats who
from me and the majority and favor the
single gold standard should not be exclud
ed from the party councils so long as they
accept the party platform and vote tbe
party ticket. It is remarkable that, after
all of these declarations by me. both
through the press and on the stump, any
body should conclude that I have changed
or modified my views or ‘cut loose from the
corpse.’
“I am willing to be liberal with my
Democratic brethren who differ from me
on the coinage question, but their press
must be fair with me and tell the whole
story when they quote me I trust this
will settle all doubt as to my position on
the coinage question.
“The assertion of the Telegraph that 'a
statement was made at Milledgeville . . .
that there is virtually no difference be
tween the Democratic faith and the Popu
list faith' is so at variance with what was
said that I must correct it.
"I had been speaking of my own posi
tion on the question of silver coinage,
clean methods in politics, ring rule etc.,
and I said: ‘To be consistent every Popu
list in the state ought this year to vote for
me and the Democratic ticket. These are
the only demands in their party platform
in which the people are at all interested,
and every one of them is a Democratic
doctrine a hundred years old.' This is
quite different from the language put in
my mouth by the Telegraph.”

a Georgia Citv.
BIRD'S HE VIEW OF MACON.
News from the Great Carnival-
Trades Display Will Be Most
Magnificent.
President Waxelbaum. of the Carnival
Association, received the advertising pos
ters for the Carnival this morning. They
are very pretty and are sure to attract
attention.
The poster is printed in different color*
and has a bird’s eye view of Macon. The
poster will be a splendid advertisement
and they will distribute them throughout
the South. It is intended to advertise the
Carnival from the Atlantic to the 'Missis
sippi and from Virginia to Key West.
The finance committee is getting along
exceedingly well and are not having much
trouble in securing subscriptions.
The trade’s display committee is getting
eritries for new floats every day. Already
about fifty orders have been sent in volun
tarily and the committee will begin a can
vass of the city tomorrow morning. It
seems that nearly every merchant in the
city will have a float in the parade and
that many of the secret organizations will
also be represented.
The race for the Carnival king grows
more and more exciting each day and the
friends of all the candidates are growing
very much excited. It is said that the
friends of Mr. Winship Cabaniss are lay
ing up funds and that they will bring them
into use a few days before the race comes
to a close.
The maids to the floral queen have been
selected and are as follows; Miss Cleve
land Smith, Miss Edith Stetson, Miss
Ellene Glenn, Miss Julia Huguenin, Miss
Ida Mangham. Miss Mamie Hatcher, Miss
Annie Crutchfield. Miss Carolie English.
Many distinguished men have also been
invited to attend the Carnival but it is
not known how many will accept the in
vitations. Admiral Schley has been in
vited to attend and it is said that he will
accept if he can possibly do so.
The T. P. A. has invited all the travel
ing men to attend and they intend to make
them have a royal time. Their patrons
have also been invited and they propose,
to keep an open house throughout the
Carnival.
The Macon Carnival and Decorating
Company began w r ork on the floats for the
trades display this morning. Already fif
teen orders have been received and the
company will turn them out as fast as pos
sible.
Messrs. George Sims, Frank Powers and
others have charge of the work and they
propose to push it as rapidly as they know
hew.
The company proposes to turn out as pret
ty floats as can be made anywhere and do
so at as reasonable price.
The company's shops are in the Agricult
ural building at the Central City park,
Where they will be glad to show visitors
how they build floats.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS,
Including a New Drop Curtain at the Acad
emy of Music.
When the Academy of Music opens up
on September 23rd with Charles Blaney in
“The New Boy,” the audience will face a
new drop curtain. A number of other im
provements are being made in the house
which is to be wired throughot with elec
tricity and for the first time in its history
the house will be well lighted. New
scenery has been ordered and the old
scenery has been retouched and made
fresh and handsome. In every way dt is
thought that this will be the most suc
cessful season that the Academy of Music
has had- The list of attractions is a good
one and includes some of the very best
things on the circait. The number has
been reduced considerably and no cheap
or popular priced attractions will be
booked at the house this season. In the
past the house in which Mr. DeGive, of
Atlanta, js one of the principal stockhold
ers, has been run at a loss and the reason
for this is to be found in the number of
second rate attractions that have come to
the house at the regular prices. The con
sequence was that tbe theatre-going pub
lic decided to go at all unless the star was
well known and it was an attraction of
wide repute. All this wall be corrected
this year and Mr. Horne says that b&. is
in a position to guarantee every atraction
that comes to the house. He will keep the
patrons fully posted in the event that he
should find that he has been imposed upon
in the bookings.
MRS. MARY DUMAS
Died Yesterday Morning at Her Home on
Calhoun Street.
Mrs. Mary Dumas, wife of Mr. J. C. Du
mas, died yesterday morning at her home
on Calhoun street, after a long illness.
Her death was not a surprise to her
friends, as they had been expecting it for
some time. She was highly thought of by
all who knew her and was loved by the
whole community.
She leaves five children to mourn her
loss. They are Misses Lillie and Rosa
(Dumas and Messrs. W. C., Ben L. and H.
Dumas.
The funeral services were held this after
noon at 3 o’clock from the residence. The
interment was at Rose Hill.
The following gentlemen acted as pall
bearers; Dr. J. H. Brown, Dr. Gregory, Mr.
Walter Clarke, Mr. Leo Herrington, Mr.
Peyton Jones and Mr. Randall.
WILL HE RESIGN?
Possible Vacancy in Solicitor Generalship is
Discussed.
Will Captain Bob Hodges resign his po
sition as Solicitor General of the Macon
circuit?
Acting Solicitor Ellis was seen this
morning and was asked about the matter,
and he said that Mr. Hodges told him yes
terday that he would not resign.
It was also discussed this morning as to
who would succeed Mr. Hodges if he re
signed. If the Third Georgia regiment is
ordered to Cuba, as it seems now probable,
it is understood that all of the officers
holding state office® will resign them. Col
onel Candler has said as much and it is
very likely that his officers will follow his
example.
The Third Is now in excellent shape and
is one of the best in tbe service. It has
more men than any regiment in the coun
try and it also has plendid officers.

a CRITICAL THUE
During the Battle of Santiago--Sick
or Well, a Rush Night and Day.
PACKERS WERE ALL HEROES.
Their Untiring K(Torts in Getting Ammu
nition and Rations to the Front
Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3. writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says:
“We all had diarrhoea in more or less
violent form, and when we landed we had
no time to see a doctor, for it was a ease
of rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, I sincerely believe at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect sav
iour of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a -wagon
train could use.. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a supply
of this medicine for our pack train before
we left Tampa, and I know in four eases
it saved life.”
The above letter was written to he man
ufacturers of this medicine, the Chamber
lain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa. For

manager of the Albany Inn, has leased the
Hotel Mayo, and proposes to turn it into
one of the best hotels in the country. He
is going about it right, having ordered, as
a starter, a new range, twenty-five sets of
new furniture for the best bed rooms, and
carpeting for all hallways. During the
present month he will begin the work of
repairing the house and fitting it up with
such new furndture as may be needed.
“In the management of the New Albany
Mr. Philpot will have associated with him
Mr. C. E. Hooper, who is well known to
the people of Albany and the traveling
public as a competent hotel man. Mr.
Hooper has been connected with the Brown
House, Macon, for several years past, and
is manager of the . Wigwam at Indian
Spring during the present summer season.
At the close of the season he will come
to the New Albany.
“In authorizing this announcement Mr.
Philpot has disclosed to a representative
of the Herald some of his plans for the
New Albany, and there can be no doubt
of the fact that he is in earnest about
giving Albany the best hotel it has ever
had,"
