DEMOCRACY’S SLUMP
A DEMOCRAT WRITES A
RINGING LETTER.
HONJOHN TEMPLE GRAVES’
Opinion of the Bbsult and His
ExplaJMiiion of the Cause
Thereof.
Hon. John Temple Graves has given
tho public the following 1 letter on the
result of the recent election:
Editor Constitution.—The financial
differences in the ranks will not ac
count for this bold and magnificent
protest of 40,000 Georgians! These
differences, doubtless, had some influ
ence on the campaign, but not much.
The platform enunciated by the state
convention was especially framed to
accommodate these conflicting opinions.
The compromise was received without
protest, and there is small reason to
think that it would have played so dis
astrous a part in the general election.
You know it did not' You know that
the talk of the streets, the delibera
tions of the sanctum and. the confes
sions wrung from reluctant politicians
all agree that Wednesday’s thunder
tone was a rebuke to ring rule and ju
dicial politics, and the people wiil
thank you to tell the truth about their
motives and their fearl iss actions. But
whether you do or do not draw this
patent conclusion, there are thousands
who will, and the glorious lesson of
this October election will not be lost
upon the future.
Let them present another ring to the :
suffrages of Georgia! Let them pro
ject a stained judiciary into politics
again! And the stern rebuke of last
Wednesday will bn changed to swift
and complete annihilation.
I have a right to congratulate the
people upon the result which lhe politi
cians deplore. 1 spoke for them when
no one else eared to do so. I bore the
brunt of a bitter and virulent abuse in
the single-handed championship of
their rights, and now. that they have
done their loyal work, it gives me
pleasure once more to assure “the
thousands for whom I spoke” that 1
shall not ask for myself at any time
the ballots which I l ave invoked for
pure politics and a better state. My
one ambition is to serve Georgia with
out fear and without other reward
than that which comes in the approval
of my own conscience and the endorse
ment of honest men. 1 believe in the
people.
I give it to you as the result of all
‘ reading and observation that, in the
history of governments, no right ap
peal has ever been rightly mad - to the
conscience and patriotism of a free peo
ple that did not receive an abundant
and glorious response. And this, their
•recent splendid answer, will co :m in
spiration for the future. It v. Hl exhibit
the power of jirotcst. It, willjillustrate
the magnetism of courage. It will dis
pel the illusions of party slavery. It
will liberate the com age of free men.
who will henceforth know that party
“bosses” have no nova r to ostracise
convictions. I would like to see them
dure to read 40,000 democrats out of the
party.
And henceforth this high pxample
will hold our politics in check. Noth
ing like it has been seen in Georgia
since the war It makes an epoch in
our political life that, young men who
are forecasting a future would do well
to mark. It places the state m the
high and advancing rank of the up
lifting and progressive sentiment of
this time. The age of demagogues is
passing. God speed it. Politics will
always be a practical science with the
politician, but it will con tin :e to be,
as it has aiwrys been, a sentiment
with the people. The age of coura
geous statesmanship, inspired by the
grand example of the white house, is
coming tojts own again.
Tor the rest there are just as many
democrats in Georgia ;:s there have
ever been. If the lesson of \\ ednesday
is heeded the party will be in all re
spects better and stronger than it has
ever been. Braver and freer it cer
tainly will be. But purified by rebuke
and chastened by apprehension, it will
take on better methods and go on in
its glorious, ami. as yet, unac-om-
work. Jts history and its mis
bion a’c inseparably linked witn

Democracy Blamed.
The news from Georgia is truly sad.
Here is a regular democratic majority
which, under normal condition ■, runs
from 49.0h0 to 70,000, cut? down to a
bald 10,000. And. su '.b s- of all, the
democratic administration, not omit
ting Hoke Smith, is blamed for a large
part of the slump. The real reason,
however, is the disgust which pervades
all sections of the country with demo
cratic incompetency. This surprising
result shows quite plainly that Georgia,

DESPERADO CAV*GHT.
George Kirkc, Murderer’* Moon
shiner and Outlaw?
Internal Revenue Collector Chapman
received a hpport from Harding, Ala.,
this morning, announcing the arrAst ot
George Kirke, a noted moonshiner and
desperado. „ , , L
Kirke’s haunt* are in the fastnesses
of Sand WountaiM, and .although the
officers have broken up his distillery on
several occasions, they have nevi jr be
fore caught him on a charge of jUlicit
distilling. , . , ._
Years ago Ki.*ke and his brothers
were the terrors pf DeKalb county,
Alabama, and they ran things as VJiey
chose. A dispute occurred one <3ay,
however, which resulted in. Gecirge
shooting his brother, killing bun in
stantly. Ilewaanev-Yr prosecuted dor
the crime, and, in fact, has been prose
cuted only once, at which time he »vas
sentenced to serve govern 1 years in one
of the convict camps of this state.
The restrictions placed on aim grew
’ irksome and ho longed for his moun-
■ tain home. Watching his opportunity
lie succeeded in eluding* the vigilance
of the guards and escap&'l-
He was never re -autured, and it is
' thought there is still a reward in exis
tence for his apprehension.
The report trom Revenue
' len, of DeKalb county, Ala., gave no
details of Kirke’s capture, but as hx? is
known to be desperate it is supposed
that he was caught napping by the
officers.

Nacox, Ga., October B.—(Special.)
A deal was consummated Saturday
■ whereby the Maeon Telegraph passes
into the hands of Editor A. & Alien,
who has for several years past acted as
the editor in chief of the paper. The
stock of the Telograplf , l J ublishing

which have been pending between linn
and Mr. Allen were concluded Satur
day.
Mr. Allen has been connected with
the Telegraph for eighteen years and
there will be no change iu the policy
of the paper.

The higher ofiiciais of the interior
department who came from Georgia
were not at tin. department yesterday.
It was understood they had been home
to vote. Thera twe a great many Geor
gia men in the department in minor
positions, and the heavy responsibility
of trying to look pleasant in the face '
of the returns had a depressing effect.
There were one or two wicked republi
cans who asserted that if the whole 1
Georgia contingent had been sent home
to vote the returns would have pre- '
seated a better appearance for tlie i
democrats.
Democrats of prominence from other
states acknowledged that the result
was far from satisfactory; that, the
democrats had hoped to secure a ma
jority which would ogstst the effect df
the Vermont and Maine elections; but
the worst feature, they said, was, the
effect it would have on other southern
states. They believed that the popu
lists would not only try to secure sev
eral congressmen in the south, but
efforts would be put forth to elect leg
islatures, so far ns to se-. nro United
1 States senators. Some of the Georgia
men excused the result by saying it
was au “off year.” -Washington Post,

ABOUT THE ELECTION
RETURNS ARE NOT TO BE
OPENED UNTIL
MONDAY, OCTOBER 15TH.
All Result Figures Given Out
are Based on Demo
cratic Estimates.
A visit to the office of tlie secretary
of slate today disclosed the fact that
the election returns have been received
from all the eouutles except Lincoln.
Secretary Candler said that the re
turns would not bo opened until Mon
day, the 15th instant.
Until that time no one can tell what
the result of the election has been.
Ofticial returns have been received by
The Daily Pbebs from less, than 100
counties.
Official < reports from some of the
counties have been received'from no
one.
In a number of counties, when the
vote was consolidated on last Thurs
day, populist precincts were, thrown
out iu order to increase Mr. Atkinson’s
vole, r.nd to swindle the populists out
of legislators.
Monroe county, the home of Bon.
Robert Berner, went populist and
elected populist legislators, bqit pre
cincts were thrown out without war
rant of law iu order to change the
result.
This was done in numbers of other
bounties. -r ’4
The greatest frauds were perpetrated
in many counties by the democrats.
Even the democratic dailies are frown
ing- at the manner in which rotes were
polled and counted for the democratic
ticket.
Mr. Atkinson falls far behind his
ticket, and how the vote stands tno one
can tell until next Monday.
According to figures seut out, based
largely on democratic estimates, the
democratic ticket has a majority of be
tween 12,000 and 15,000.
Wednesday’s election, aside from be
ing an eye opener to “the men who con
trol,’' has freed tho tongues oi thou
sands of honest Georgians who hereto
fore remained silent for the sake of
“the dear old pajty.”
Ou all sides democrats are out-spoken
in the demand for fair ballot and hon
est count. Many stated that they are
ready to seat Bines if the returns show
that he is elected. Said a prominent
Georgian "the tirhe has passed when we
will sit silently by and see our grand
old state prostituted to the greed and
avarice of a few polltickns who hold
the welfare of the slate secondary to
satiate their desire &>r a place at the
public crib.”
“Elections in Georgia must be above
suspieicn.*’*
That Christian soldier General
Clement A. Evans, who looms up
greater in defeat than his political op
ponent, with success ai the polls, was
a caller in our sanctum for “the latest
news. ”
Said he, “I believe Georgia by a fair
ballot is a, democratic state. In all my
speeches before the people I made the
sumo statement: ‘I. for one, want
Georgia to remain in the democratic
column, if she belongs there by honest
ballots.’”
Said Tl<>n. A. D. Candler and Comp
troller-General Wright:
“The gA'd people of the state have
their thinking cups <.n. and want
above all thiugu, honesty at the ballot
box. ”
■ - Ta>k alidut democratic apathy,”
said Chai rm tri L. N. Trammell ; “why,
I imve been <£, close Student of politics
my life., and never in the history
of the slate hsv. e I seen such a vigorous
campaign. Ta'ko the first Tuesday in
September-thelre were eighty demo
cratic orators on the stump.”
Said another (u-cminent democrat;
“Seme of our bo ts say the failing off
is due to the negyoes voting with the
populists.
“Why, take the county of Cobb;
nearly every Negro voted a.-. Steve Clay
requested. Steve could be seen nil day
wh'spering iu the aar of the Negro
v .ter; and look how H ouston, a Negro
county, piled up a democratic major
i'.y. No, sir, we can’t say tie Negro
v. ent back on us, for ib nearly every
eouuly that we received a majority, it
was C:e to the Negro voting our
ticket.”

Tho populists won in Baldwin
county, and won fairly, too.
/The official count gave Judge
Hines a majority of 33, and Mr*
Ennis, for tho legislature, 8.
Not ono democrat discovered that
the election was unfair until tho re
sult was announced.
Then it was that a groat howl
went up.
Tho Milledgeville Daily Bse»
edited by Miss Ellen Dortch, an
nounced that Mr. Howard, tho de
feated democratic candidate, would
contest, basing the announcement
“on a reliance in the courage of Dick
Howard.”
The Bee thus delivers itself:
' Many of the democrats of the city are
speaking against a contest. It will
create strife! array the county aftainst
the city ! are tlie leading arguments of
the anti-contest men. Why, men of
Milledgeville, where is your manhood?
Can men with white skin bo so das
tardly as to favor a policy of cowardice?
Suppose it does cause strife, is it not
better to have the strife and fight it
Out now, than to have future trouble
with the populists? Such trouble as
they have visited upon South Carolina
and Kansas ? And it will array the
county against the town. Bah I What
trashy argument.
What part of the county will it array
against the town to have an election
properly managed ? AY hat are tha
populists of this county? Are they
the white voters of the county? No!
A Hundred times no! The, Negro ele
ment is th» coudtry crowd that white
men of Milledgeville are afraid of ar
raying against them! Men with white
skin, that claim a citizenship in the
proudest state of a great republic, ser
vilely cringing before the banded col
ored vote ’ Afraid to raise their voices
in protest 1 ’Cowardly willing to sub
mit to Negro rule ! For shame ! For
very shame!
Further on, the following worsd
are found:
The white Ca" ot democracy trails
in the dust today trampled under black
feet! Men of Milledgeville, where is
your courage ? Tlie eld parry that has
stood guard at your firesides, protect
ing the virtue of your wives anri daugh
ters against the horrors of social equal
ity liccweon tho races, is threatened by
biack hosts today, and goes crying for
defenders in the erstwhile proud old
county of Baldwin.
Is there no bravo man among you to
take up the stainless flag of the white
man’s party and give it plaeie to which
the legal vote of the county entitles it?
Tho article closes thus:
Men of Milledgeville, doos not your
patriotism—your southern blood—re
spond to the southern eloquence—the
southern devotion to white rule, of the
immortal Grady ? For shame, that
one of our sex Should have to beg you
to be true to your manhood—to the
party that stands guard at your hearth
stones !
God pity the person who would
give utterance to such words, and
would be so blind to justice, i
Tho reason assigned for contest
ing is, that Mr. Ennis was elected by
the Negroes.
Did any Negroes vote for Mr.
Howard? If so, and he had been
successful, it could have been said
that he was elected by the Negroes.
Some of Baldwin’s best and brav
est sons voted for Mr. Ennis, and he
was honestly elected.
Beautiful words on the side of
right and justice, are calculated to
stir men’s souls and to lead them to
action.
But when such are employed by a
woman in advising lawlessness, a
feeling of pity is aroused.
We refer to the Bee’s article for
one reason only, to-wit: Its words
seemed to have been heeded by
those interested in tho advice given.

Mr. Brown loaned Mr. .Smith in
1888 §I,OOO at JO per cent interest.
Each year Mr. Smith paid Mr.
Brown 5100 interest.
To pay this interest at that time
Mr. Smith sold:
50 bushels cf wheat,
or 165 bushels of oats,
or 125 bushels of corn,
or 250 pounds of batter,
or 500 pounds of pork,
or 250 pounds of wool,
or 500 pounds of cotton.
In 1893 the mortgage was re
newed and the interest cut down to
7 per cent, but poor Smith found,
even at the reduced rate of interest,
he was obliged io sell in order to
raise the S7O interest:
135 bushels of wheat,
or 300 bushels of oats,
or 265 bushels of corn,
or 535 pounds of butter,
1100 pounds of pork,
