TIIK PRO I ft ITION QUESTION.
The Tempernnre People Willing to Com prom lae on
a 8(om> Lifeline.
A reporter of the EnquibkR-Sun accosted a
promineut prohib : tioulst yesterday and the fol
lowing conversation ensued:
“What about prohibitioii?” asked the reporter.
“Prohibition is the best thing for the country;
but why do you ask?”
“I want to know what you temperance people
ttre going to do?”
“Wo arc going to make it lively for the whisky
nijii here next fall,’' answered the prohibition
ist.
“How? I hear that you art* scared and are
willing to compromise this question,” said the
reporter.
“That is a Dig mistake, and they will find it a
very grave one fbr them if they spread that im
pression, You and every man here la quite cer
tain that our side will win if it comes to an elec
tion.”
•t don't know about that. Some well informed
people here say that the wet ticket would win,”
said the scribe.
4 They ilaro not try the issue,” remarked the
prohibitionist. “They arc satisfied they would
lose.”
Well, what about the compromise?” asked
the reporter.
•‘It’s just til's: The most prominent prohibi
tionists of the city have been approached by
-•/in people, who have asked us to
promt u ; r 1 - me to
11«ir; conclusion : To prevent uuy strife or any
contention, we will he satisfied with a retail
Honor license cfflOOO. Understand me. wo don't
(h r any rort of a compromise. Wo are* certain
to win, bid to prevent, any strife, we arc willing
to put the retail license at. $1000, provided our
side arc satisfied that the liquor men ig sincere,
and this can only be done by having their signs
turns to (hat effect.”
‘And suppose such a petition to the council is
circulated ami signed by the liquor men, is there
any guarantee that the prohibitionists will re
spect it ?”
“'They ceMaiuly will. If any one doubts it you
may use my name as your authority.”

EDITOR REV ILL’S REPLY.
lie Conn s Burk at Hon. Peter IV. Martin In IHn
Charset prist Ir Style
(Greenville, Ga., July 27.-- Editor Knquiher-
Hun: In your Sunday1‘jkuc I fiud an article
from Mr. P. W. Martin, of Woodbury, complain*
ing of some editorial remarks of mine rc-specting
the appointment of Mr. J. C. Adams as postal
clerk on the Georgia Midland. Mr. Martin hav
ing selected the KNqi*zB*R~8uN bis medium of
addressing the public concerning my newspaper
utterances, I ask the use of your columns in re
plying to the tirade of ray old pupil. Although
he proclaims himself a champion of the “virtue
nnd intelligence” of the fourth congressional dis
trict, his manifesto displays such a lack of knowl
edge that a reply may be of sen ice to him,though
coming from one whom he clat.-ts outside the
pale "f district “virtuea.nl intefiigence.”
The “Hon. Peter W. Martin” represents us cor
rectly as questioning the democracy of Mr.
Adams, but be blunders when in serting that our
remarks were “a direct thru t at every democrat
who signed Mr. Adam: ’ petition.” He would
have hit the mark had he ivaid that we made a
throat at all democrats who t.ortified to the
democracy of Mr. Adam;'. A:* Mr. Martin’s cer
tificate, as published in hmt Friday’s Kxquirku-
Kuh, says nothing oft he democratic good stand
ing of Adams, it striker ns that our friend kicked
before the spur touched him. Our lance was cot
leveled at. him.
Again, our self-conetituled rcpreBontUtive ofthe
“vlrtur and intelligence” of the district asks,
“What has Mi Adams t- do \v''.l his republican
autecedt i.■ To ur enquiring Jrieml we reply
that Mr, Adams is to be judged, politically, by his
”i(publican antecedents.” By their acts, their
deed**, all men are lob, judged. If a man was a
republican yesterday he is likely to be a
republican to-day. If be claims to
be n democrat to-da\, he should go to
the foot of the o'- ss and spell up. He rhould not
be arbdrari!> placed at. Die h ad of a cl aos com
posed of thirty true and tried democrats. The
backers of Mr. Adams appear diadtous not to to be
reminded of ids “republican antecedents,” but
they will cling to and follow after Adams in npite
of Mr. Martina's objections. Like Sin bad’s “Old
Maw of Die Sta,” they cannot b easily shaken
oft’, take Bntiquo'tf ghost they a ill not down at
.any one’s bidding.
In the next half dozen sentences Mr. Martin
betrays an ignorance that, if not inexcusable, is
certainly astonishing in one claiming\o represent
the “virtue and intelligence” of an entire con
gressional district. He says that because we
held au office at Washington during (ho adminis
tration ol Air. Hayes, and Adams held uu office
under Mr. Hayes, that both Adams and Revill
stand upon th** same footing Says he : “If not,
why did the editor of the Vindicator drive the
mail wagon in Washington city during the Hayes
administration ? Because he carn al colored con
gressmen their mail why should he be considered
less a democrat than Mr. Adams, who acted a?
postmaster it Hognnsville?” ft response, we
beg leave to inform “Hi* Hon P. W Martin” that
we held office as a raemb. r of the Georgia legis
lature during General Grant's administration,
but not under Grant Judge Hiram Warner held
the position of chief jusi'ct; of Georgia duiing the
Hayes administration, but was not indebted to
II a yes for the place. Scores of “Confederate
bn,; idlers” and true southern congressmen held
offi .e at Washington city during the Hayes ad-
mmiatmt ion. not through the good will of Mr.
Hayes, but in spite oi him and his party. So the
Viudicutor, during the Hayes administration,
hold an eftt* • at Washington that authorized him
to drive a spanking team that drew a stylish
mail wv,on. but he obtained the position, not.
through the grace of Mr Hayes, hut from the
democratic poutmaster ofthe house of represent
atives, this postmaster being elected
by the democrats of Uu- house. Mr.
Hay* s had no more control over
the department in which the Vindicator served
than did “thy Mo-i Peter W. Martin.” Our
chief was rc-p. m fible to the democratic majority
of the house, nnd io no one else. Neithei at
Washington nor any where else did the Vindi
cator ever ask for or hold office t hrough the lavor
of a republican office hohu i or a republican ;>d
ministration
While he never held (office under Flayes, how
wa:. u with Aiftin?.' H. not only held office,
during the admiui**irations of Messrs. Hayes.
Garfield and Arthur, but he held office under
these republican ailministmtions ami actually
petitioned, asked, bogged, Mr Fayes tor the
po-itmaster’s place at Hogansville. Perhaps
Mi Martin, not knowing what he was writing
about, may r,till be unable to see any dilfetenec
bet we* » the positions of Adams and the Viudi-
oati.v. but we imagine all the “intelhgeir.”

without knowledge. As Mr. Martin says in
another plnee, only republicans were appointed
to office under Hayes. Democratic congressmen
were only allowed a choice as between republi
cans for postmasters. In this way Col. Harris
did all he could with a republican president to
have Adams appointed postmaster at Hogaus-
ville. For ten years, aud until Mr. Cleveland was
inaugurated, Adams remained in office. After
Mr. Cleveland became president, iu obedience to
urgent demands from Hogausvilledemocrat** and
patrons of the office, Col. Harris was forced to
ask for the removal of Mr. Adams to make way
for a sterling democrat. Mr. Adams may then
have antagonized Col. Harris, but this great an
tagonism was after Hogansvilie democrats,
through Col. Harris, had secured tne dismissal
of Adams. We know not the precise date of this
antagonism, but we do knew that one year ago
Ad,11.re wrote us asking for aid in obtaining the
as-.istance of Col. Harris in securing a position

Mr. Martin wishes to be alive two years hence
to endoise his congressman’s career. Unless he
grows in knowledge, the “virtue and intelli
gence” of the congressman’s supporters may beg
Mr. Martin to withhold his unasked for indorse-
in: it. Bhoukl the ge ntleman live a thousand
years, he will never ho able, even with the
fJrongrMt magnifying glass, to find any democra
cy iu the political career of John C. Adams from
July 1877 to March J886.
