SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1887
Discretion io speech is more
than eloquence.
The speech of Gen. H. R. Jack
son at Macon did the work.
The Weekly Republican of New
Orleans, La., is doing noble work
for the party in that State.
It will soon be in order for the
political hustlers to hustle. The
bovs are getting ready for “orders.’
—money orders.
Hon. A. G. Thurman, “The no
blest Roman of them all” did not
fail to express his views on G» n.
Jackson’s speech and in plain terms
top.
The Atlanta Defiance has “flopped”
over on the side of prohibition and
onr friends Burnett and Davis are
advocating the “dry” cause with as
much earnestness as they did the
“wet.”
Thß depositors of the late
Freedmans Savings Bank resid
ing in Macon, held a mee'ing
recently and passed resolutions ask
ing President Cleveland to devote
a small part of his coming uussn-ze
to the next Congress to ’heir relief-
AT the recent ex ruination bv
Gov. Gordon into the charges of
cruelty and inhuman treatment of
the poor unfortunate ‘onvicts. he
says “that after catefullv ex imininir
the numerous charges made he
finds:
First; That the evidence shows thnt
the officers and members of the lease
companies have personally inflicted n •
cruelty upon the convicts; that the-e
officers and members have in a right
spirit and disposition desired and en
deavored to protect the health of the
convicts and to pr >vide for their neeessa
ry shelter and the requisite food, cloth
ing and medical attendance But the ev
dence also shows that they have no
exercised the personal supervision over
the convicts at all the camps whi<h the
law contemplates and requires.
Second! The evidence shows that
some of the agents and subordinates
of the paid leased companies h ive
been guilty ot cruelty consisting
of excessive whipping, and some
cases of unreasonable and exces
sive labor. It is held that at least
four cases of excessive whipping are
clearly established by the evidence;
and while the exact number of cases
where convicts have been overworked
cannot clearly be determined, the
evidence s.Usfises the Ex cutive that
r in some instances the subordinate agents
of these companies have exacted labor
of the convicts in excess ot what wa
humane, reas mable and proper.
Admitting ’but “the officers ami
members of the lease companies
' have personally inflicted no cruelty
upon the convicts.” And no one bad
ever charged these gentleman thus.
But continues the Governor “they
have not exercised the personal su
pervision over the convicts at all
the camps that the laws require
them to do.” If that is true and we
believe there can be no doubt of it
thenthev areas equally as gnibv
ot these inhuman acts as the blood
thirsty demon who commits them*
In fact they are in the eyes of the
public an accessory after the fact,
and the plea that the Governor
makes that they have not ‘ person
ally inflicted cruelty upon the con
victs does not relieve these gei tie
men from the charges but n ake
♦ hem paiticeps criminis in the
crime con mitted. We are pleased
so far wit h the work of the Govern
j nr and we be ieve he is honest in
1 his intent'* ds to reform the lielbsli
and hu h ro is convict system of
State, but an it be done by impos
! it'g a fine < f 2500 on the lessees as
