orations as against the people.—
Favored the payment of fraudu
lent bonds—Voted against the in
terest of farmers—Opposed the
permanent school fund—Several
of bis votes against the Confeder

“A BAD RECORD AS A LEGISLATOR.
“He failed to aid in the passage of
a bill to amend section 534 of the
Code, 1882, so as to exempt maimed
ex-Confederate soldiers from the
payment of special license tax to the
municipal authorities of incorporated
towns and cities of this state, etc.
“ATKINSON AGAINST THE OLD SOL-
DIERS.
“Mr. Atkinson in all bis speeches
boasts of his love for the Confederate
veterans and of his efforts in their
behalf. How does his record com
pare with these .professions? Hb'j
voted against the acceptance of the
Soldiers’ Home in any form.
“The House Journal for 1889, page
1003, shows that ho did not vote on
a bill to amend the acts in reference
to disabled Confedreate veterans.
“ATKINSON AGAINST SCHOOLS.
“Mr. Atkinson dodged the vote on
a bill to establish a permanent school
fund and provide for the payment of
the same into the treasury.—House
Journal, 1891, page 1091.
AGAINST THE FARMERS.
“Mr. Atkinson is begging the farm
ers to stand by him. Why should
he do so ? What has he done for
them ?
“hi 1889 he voted against the bill
for the inspection of fertilizers which
was designed to pi otect the farmers
against fraud and imposition?—
House Journal 18.89, page 875.
“In 1889 Mr. Atkinson voted
against a bill to allow farmers to
plead failure of consideration for pur
chase of fertilizers.—House Journal
1889, page 403. He dodged the vote
on a bill to declare all obligations to
pay attorney’s fees upon any note or
other evidence of indebtedness void,
unless a plea bo filed by the defend
ant and not sustained.—House Jour
nal 1839, page 1052 and 1427.
“ATKINSON FOR FRAUDULENT BONDS.
“In 1993, while he was Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson came down out of
the Speaker’s chair and made a
speech in favor of the payment of
§42,000 of bonds which the State
has repudiated.
“ATKINSON FOR THE CORPORATIONS.
“Mr. Atkinson dodged the vote for
jhe important bill to enlarge the pow
ers of the Railroad Commission.
This bill was considered necessary
by the Railroad Commission in order
to enable them to protect the people
against unjust discriminations and
extortionate charges of railroads.
“Shall the people rule, or shall
they be bossed by‘the men who con
trol,’ as Mr. Atkinson says they will
be I”—Circular distributed by the
Evans compaign committee.
Not Fit to Be Governor.
Mr. Atkinson is daily emphasizing
his unfitness for the office of gover
nor. As a member of the legislature
his official' functions were such that
he could do but little harm to the
state, but during his services he dem
onstrated conclusively that he is not
the man to merit gubernatorial pro
motion. He voted and worked
against allowing the extension of
the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad into Atlanta at a time when
it had the money in band ready to
complete the work in 30 days. The
result has been that the people be
tween Marietta and the Tennessee
line are now compelled to pay al- j
most double freight, express and tel- i
egraph charges, and the development. I
of one of the richest sections of
Georgia has been materially re- |
tarded. Ho was active in
hi» fight against the Twitty bill be
cause, perhaps, it might affect his
fees. In a public speech at Colum
bus Judge .1. 11. Martin, as horn st 1
and upright a judge as ever sat on
the bench in Georgia, declared on
his word as a man that Mr. Atkin
son sought a trade by which to ex-,
change his vote, as a member of the
legislature, aud that he, Judge Mar
tiu, not being willing to meet. Mr.
Atkinson’s terms, the latter voted
against him. This is the solemn as
sertion of an honest and upright
man, and if Mr. Atkinson has denied
it we have not heard of it. Mr. At
kinson has not only traded votes for
the election of judges and solicitors
general, but virtually boasts of it.
Ile took a fee -we iniriit say fees
—while a member of the legislature,
notwithstanding the constitutional in
hibition against one man receiving
double pay from the state. In the
special matter referred to there was
so much doubt about the propriety
of accepting the fee, that two law
yers had to be consulted before he
was satisfied of its legality. The
question as to whether it was right
or wrong for him to deprive the gov
ernor of Georgia of Ids information
and assistance for the state in a mat
ter of vital importance, and which,
as a member of the legislature, came,
under his official observation, never
entered his head.
What he wanted was the one
thousand-dollar fee, and the consti
tution of the state was no considera
tion so long as he got it, for he knew
that he would not have to pay it
back on demand and the moral
aspect of the question has never to
this day dawned upon him. It was
> doubt the biggest fee he ever got,
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA. GA., SEPTEMBER 21. 1894.
—probably more in cash than he had
ever made in one year practicing
law. We make no vague statement
on the subject, for what we say is
based on the information of his
former law partner. Mr. P. S. What
ley, of Newnan, says so, and he
ought to know.
This man wants to be governor of
Georgia! In fact, a freak of his
imagination has caused him to be
lieve that he is governor now, and in
an unguarded moment he has opened
the vials of his wrath against every
body .who has dared to oppose him,
’ I and has raised the lid of Pandora’s
i | box in his effort to let out the devils
I | of discontent and involve the party
t in ruin, just so long as ho can be
t nominated.— Atlanta Constitution of
1 June 1,1894.
Why Atkinson Should not be
Governor.
“An Atkinson Man,” who posts
his letter in Griffin, asks us how can
1 we afford to support Mr. Atkinson
after he is nominated if ho is
the: man we have described him
5 to be?
’ We ask our correspondent how he
can afford to support Mr. Atkinson
‘ in preference to General Evans if he
1 is what his record proves him to be?
! Gne question is as fair as tho other
and both arc easily answered.
If the democratic party nominates
i Mr. Atkinson in spite of the methods
1 that he has introduced into Georgia
f politics it will impart to his career
j as a public man a dignity and an
importance that it does not now
possess, and we shall feel warranted
in surrendering our objections to the
j jugglery, the humbuggery and the
bulldozing and domineering methods
that have thus far market his efforts
. to win popular approval in this state.
But we hope aud believe that the
1 day is far distant when tho honest
’ and incorruptible democrats of Geor
gia can be either persuaded or bull
. dozed into endorsing the methods
‘ that have given Mr. Atkinson a ma
’ jority of tho votes that he now
. boasts of. We do not believe that
the temper of the people will admit
' of any such doubtful experiment
’ this year.
The fact that there has been no
popular protest against' the frauds
and outrages on the people’s rights
that have been committed in a num
ber of the counties possesses a sig-
■ niticance that the party cannot afford
to ignore.
It will not do for the people to
’ ignore these methods. They are an
i attack on the rights and liberties of
the people. They constitute a serious
> assault on the principle of self-gov
ernment, ami those who submit to
them without protest are not worthy
’ of the freedom they enjoy.
Leaving tho outrage upon our own
people altogether out of considera
‘ tiou, what will be the effect on pub
lic opinion outside of the state when
the manipulation of counties in be-
I half of Mr. Atkinson becomes
known? The people of Coffee
I county have the right to vote and the
right to have their votes counted.
And yet this right has been denied
‘ them. Five men, meeting together
thirty or forty miles from the county
seat, cast tho whole vote of their
county for Mr. Atkinson. This is
not mere political manipulation and
wire-pulling. It is a bold invasion
of the rights of the people—a daring
suppression of the popular will that
no party and no candidate can afford
to countenance.
In Fannin county the people,
hearing that snap judgment was
about to be taken on them assembled
together and registered i!>ei. will.
When they had returned to their
homes, a little ring of politicians de
clared that enough votes ought to ba
thrown out to change a majority
vote for General Evaps into a ma
jority vote for Mr. Atkinson. In
Oconee, a meeting called for a differ
| ent purpose, proceeded to give the
■ county to Mr. Atkinson, only twenty
l men being present.
Mr. Atkinson’s campaign is marked
j not only by these outrageous attacks
|on the rights of the people, but by
the special methods of manipulation
' tb' which professional politicians ro-
■ sort when they are not sure of their
popularity. This manipulation is
b id enough, especially when i. devel
ops into an utter disregard of the
people’s Wil), but when it is carried
Inrthur, as it has been in Coffee,
Oconee and Fannin, it is time for
the democrats of Georgia to ask
themselves whether they can afford,
in this year of grace, 1894, to shoul
der the responsibility which the noni-
, i iuation of Mr. Atkinson would im
| pose on them.
That is not the only question tn
. v.lived in the present gubernatorial
contest, but it is an important one.
j It touches the political rights of the
jp ■ >ple; It g i to the v< ry root of
their sovereignty and power.
There are pl.-nty of other reasons
■ why Mr. Atkinson should net be
| made governor of Georgia, and wo
I shall discuss them in due course, but
the people should consider and digest
j now tho gross outrages that have
1 been committed in bis name and be
half.--Atlanta Constitution of June
2, 1891.
Atkin-, on.
This is what the Gainesville Eagle
said about Mr. Atkinson before the
. convention. It was edited at that
time by Harvey Craig and Tom Bell.
Thousand dollar bill Atkinson will
address the people here next Satur
day. We want every man who has
not yet taken si les to come out and
' hear him. ¥• a i. . . only to hear
■ him to be convince 1 ot hi.-:. abnorma-
I self-conceit and total lack of those
! requisites that qualify a man to make
a good governor. Had Thousand
| dollar Bill never made a speech or
I written a letter, he would be stronger
' in the state today Toy many thousands
lof votes. Let everybody come, es
pecially those who are halting be
tween two opinions.
Will the honest farmers of the
country consent to vote for a man
for governor who re fused to vote for
tho extension of the public school
system, for the bill to pension disa
bled Confederate soldiers; who took
a thousand dollar fee from the state
contrary to law; who told a falsehood
in order to disparage General Evans
in popular estimation, and who has
never done any public act from a
patriotic and disinterested motive?
Will they?
Two of the most violent oppo
neats of General Evans are the
Macon Telegraph and the Griffin
Sun. One is run by a New York
yankee and the other by an Ohio
yankee. Is it expected that such
men would have any sympathy for
those who wore the gray? What
say the old rebel soldiers? What
Bay their sons? How will you cast
your vote ou the 19th of May? Will
you indorse the sentiment that hon
ors the old soldier or will you in
dorse those who wish to trample it
in the dust?
Much of the work done in the in
terest of Atkinson has been detesti
blo and damnable. And it may
make him governor, too. From
these rotten deeds that smell to
heaven ho may reap the fruits of pre
ferment and power, aud enact the
poor miserable burlesque of repre
senting “the sovereign will of free
men.” Sovereign will be hanged.
The sovereignty of humbug and
fraud is now on top. —Dahlonega
Signal.
How Atkinson’s Heelers Traduced
General Evans.
The latest campaign canard of
the Atkinsonites, demonstrates the
desparalion to which they are
driven, is a charge promulgated
through the columns of the Macon
Telegraph that the penitentiary
lessees have been the biggest contrib
utors to General Evans’ campaign
fund, and that the son of one of tho
lessees has been traveling through
the state tu the distribution of the
fund. Further than this a cowardly
intimation makes it appear that Gen
eral Evans is being advocated by the
lessees on the ground that they can
control his official conduct.
The canard of the Telegraph is
dealt with in the communications
published elsewhere, and it is note
worthy that Colonel W. E. Simmons,
whom the Telegraph’s correspondent
by indirection seeks to present as the
author of the charge, denied that he
was in any way responsible for it.
It is not necessary to defend the
character of General Evans from
such malicious attacks. The people
know him, and as between General
Evans and those who seek to traduce
him through the columns of Mr.
Seifert’s Telegraph, they will make
their choice.”
All of this is clap-trap intended to
deceive, and it is a shameless effort
to besmirch the character of oue of
Georgia’s purest, must upright, hon
orable men—a man who has shed his
blood on the field for Georgia and
who is now assailed by Georgians in
a manner such as to bring shame to
every person guilty of this unrea
able, unjust and miserable conduct.
Fortunately, in this instance, the as
sault is made by Mr. Seifert’s Macon
Telegraph. Mr. Seifert was, until a
few years ago, a republican office
holder in Macon.—Atlanta Constitu
tion, June 3.
What Mrs. Julia Rowe Says About
Atkinsim.
Editor Daily Dress: I desire
through the columns of your paper
to inform the people of this state of
the disposition of the mau, living in
this part of the state, who is so ear
nestly and anxiously soliciting their
votes for the greatest office of their
gilt, that of governor.
I mean the Hon. AV. Y. Atkinson.
And I think a simple statement of a
transaction he had with my husband
before his death, and the way he has
treated me and ray children since
his death, will suffice.
My husband died in August, 1890,
leaving me, with eix children, the
oldest only thirteen years of age, on
a plantation of 120 acres of land,
which my husband had purchased
and paid for. After paying for the
latnl he (my husband) learned that
there was some imperfection in the
titles, and went to Mr. Atkinson to
defend them, which he proposed to
d > for one-third interest in the land.
Os this, however, 1 knew nothing
until after my husband died. Soon
alter his death I went to Greenville
to see the ordinary of the county,
who advised me to have appraisers
appointed and twelve months’ sup
port set apart for myself and chil
dren, which I did.
They included 80 acres of land in
the amount set apart, leaving Mr.
Atkinson 40 acres out.
Soon alter this I was informed
that Mr. Atkinson had all the land,
“120 acres, advertised for sale. It
was sold to the highest bidder and
bought by him, he getting his
brother to bid it in for him for the
pitiful sum of $330; after which he
sent me word to hive a guardian ap
pointed for my children, and he
would pay over two thirds of the
above specified amount; at the same
! time requesting me to move off the
■ place, which 1 was advised not to
I do, and didnot do until ho sent his
I overseer with all the plows he had
' and sowed the entire place down in
I oats.
Now, Mr. Editor, I atn ignorant
l of law aud have but a limited aduca
i tiou, but 1 have stated tho above
I facts the best I can, and now ask the
people of the great state of Georgia
do they want a man for governor
who is so full of greed for gain as to
take advantage of a poor widow
woman with six children dependent
upon her for a support in order to
get all they foreclosed for an insig
nificant sum of money. Respect
fully, Julia Rowe,

WELCOmFv/ORDS TO WOMEN.
Many times women call on their family phy
sicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from
dyspepsia, another
from heart disease,
Another from liver
or kidney disease,
another with pain
here or there, and
In this way they ail

easy-going doctor,

by some womb disorder. The suffering pa
tient gets no better, but probably worse, by
reason of the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi
cine, like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause would have promptly
cured the disease.
Mrs. Harry Tappan, of Poynolds, Jefferson
Co., iVcb., writes: “ For two years I was a
sufferer. A part of this time had to be carried
from my bed. Was racked with pain, had
hysteria, was very nervous, no’appetite and
completely discouraged. A few bottles of
‘Favorite Prescription’ effected a perfect
cure.”, Sold by all dealers in medicines.
The Difference.
Tommie Watson, populist leader,
demagogue, agitator, etc., has stirred
up two pretty lively hornets, who have
been lately stinging him through his
jacket. These are District Attorney
Joe James and Editor B. M. Blackburn.
At the present stage Tommie has not
made much out of his attacks on these
democrats.—Columbus Enquirer Sun.
The difference between Editor
Blackburn and the Enquirer-Sun
consists in the fact that Blackburn
stays “in the ring” when he
opens a light, while the Enquirer-Sun
opens the light and then runs <4 out
of the ring.”
WHO’SSHELLABERGER?
Ou The Rim.
The populist organ published by Tom
Watson, seeing the third party about to
go into its little hole, is getting desper
ate in its charges and is making a fran
tie search for mare’s nests in the demo
cratic record.—Columbus Enquirer Sun.
You invited us to au investigation
of democratic administration of Geor
gia. We accepted. You and your
party made the nest and filled it with
rotten eggs. We are breaking them,
and instead of attempting to defend
tho Columbus freebooters, you inglo
riously run from an engagement of
your own making. Don’t blame you.
The exposure lias quite an unsavory
smell, and is calculated to sicken the
stomachs of the heretofore unterri
fied. We’U keep on rolling out the

Political Bias.
A letter from Mr. Walden,
Glascock county, states that Judge
Reese recently appointed four jury
commissioners for that county, and
that each of the appointees are dem
ocrats. This action, in a county
where four-fifths of the white voters
are populists and all tho county
offices are tilled with populists, seems
to indicate political bias. The ap
pointing- power will have to be
wrested from the judiciary or the
I judiciary raised beyond the power of
[ “the meu who control.”
L Tito National Bank Plcttic-“A Well
Deserved Testimonial.”
* The directors and stockholders of
r the First National bank have resolved
to present a handsome testimonial to
‘ Bon, William H. English as a memento
* of their personal esteem and apprecia
tion of the very great financial ability,
constant watchfulness, and perfect
fidelity with which he managed the
bank during the fifteen years of his
presidency. The proceedings upon
the occasion of Mr. English’s resigna
tion were not given in full to the
pre: s, but were sent in circular form to
a l corresponding banks. One of these
t irculars falling into the possession of
the News, takes the liberty of copying
Mr. English’s letter of resignation,
which, although a little late, will no
doubt be read with interest. In vol
untarily retiring from active business,
when at the height of success, Mr. En
glish is but repeating what he did
many years ago in politics. It is not
every politician or business man who
voluntarily retires in that way. The
following is the letter:
“To the stockholders and board of di
rectors of the First National Bank of
Indianapolis:
“Gentlemen—After a life of unceas
ing labor from earliest boyhood and
the great care and responsibility of
presiding over this large institution
since its foundation fourteen years ago
I feel it a duty I owe both to myself
and an invalid wife, whose condition
requireshny special attention, to take a
season of rest from all active business,
and I must therefore beg you to accept
this mj r resignation as president, to
take effect from and after this date.
In severing this connection and taking
my leave of you I can truly say there
are but few 'partings in this world I
should feel more keenly than this. It
may well excite tender feelings to re
tire from an institution which has been
under my special care since its founda
tion, and to sever the confidential busi
ness relations which have so pleasantly
existed with its stockholders and offi
cers for over the third of a generation.
What important events have trans
pired within that period! We have
passed through one of the greatest
civil wars of modern times, and are
now, £ trust and believe, beginning to
emerge from a. long and disastrous
period of financial distress, the legiti
mate sequence of events growing out
of the war. I can conscientiously say
before God that all these years I have
earnestly endeavored to faithfully and
efficiently discharge my duties as your
president, with what result the record
can best testify.
“The bank went into existence at the
time of tho nation’s greatest peril,
when it most needed the financial aid
—the very sinews of war—which the
organization ot national banks was
then best calculated to givq. The na
tional system of banking was untried
and at that time was viewed with dis
trust and disfavor, not only by those
who had no sympathy with the govern
ment in her struggle for existence, but
also many others, especially those al
ready established in banking under
other systems, who very naturally did
not care to encourage rivals in business.
This was to some extent, true of In
dianapolis, where the field had already
long been occupied by bankers who de
servedly possessed the confidence of
the public in the hightest degree.
“Our bank was among the first organ
ized in the United States and the very
first, I believe, to get out its circulation.
It was several years before another
was organized in Indianapolis, and that
was the period of our greatest prosper
ity. It was an untried experiment,
1 was told over and over again that I
would probably lose all I put into it;
but I had faith and went in at the start
as a volunteer without waiting to be
drafted, and so think we are justly en
titled to all the success we have
achieved. From the beginning the
bank was a government depositorj r and
it has transacted untold millions of
business for the government free of
charge, without the loss of a dollar.
For the first twelve years our aggre
gate losses from bad debts and every
other source was under SI,OOO, which I
think has but seldom, if ever, been
equalled considering the volume of
business transacted.
“In tho meantime it has voluntarilj 7
returned §500,000 of capital back to it 1 ?
stockholders, besides paying them in
dividends, $1,196,250, part of which was
in gold, and 1 now turn it over to yon
with a cap.tai unimpaired, and §327,001
of undivided earnings on hand. To this
may fairly be added‘premium on U. S.
bonds on hand, at present prices
amounting to $36,000, besides quite a
large amount for lost and destroyed
bills. May I not safely leave these
grand results as a permanent testimon
ial of the fidelity and careful and judi
cious management of my administra
tion? It is but just to my successor as
well as to candor that 1 should add
that the danger of loss from bad debts
and otherwise is much greater now
than heretofore, and the profits of
banking very much less. It would not,
therefore, be reasonable to expectin
the future as great success as has been
realized in the past. It is reasonable,
however, to expect that this bank will
continue to prosper and hold its high
position with the leading financial in
stitutions of the country. I shall evr
take the greatest possible interest in
its success, as I shall in the success and
happiness of the stockholders, and all
tin- officers and employees who have so
faithfully aided me in the transaction
of its business. Verj’ respectfully,
Wm. 11. English.
