“ ifr COUNTRY: MAY SHE EVER BE RIGHT; RIGHT OR WRONG, MY COUNTRY!"— Jekferbof.
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1890.
LIVINGSTON FOR CONGRESS.
Our friend and fellow-citizen is be¬
coming more popular every day. Ma¬
jor \V. L. Glessner, of the Americas
Daily Recorder, who is himself < . a
man among men,” has this to say :—
it Col. Livingston’-e recent speech be¬
fore the Ways and Means committee
in Washington has demonstrated him
to he an abler man than he has been
given credit for. He not only im¬
pressed the committee by his earnest
and eloquent plea in behalf of the
farmers, hut by hit ready replies to
the questions asked him showed him¬
self to be the equal of any member
of the committee in debate. He nev
er onee lost his temper or his tongue,
but every question was not only
swered promptly, but carried with it
a cut that confused those who sought
to confuse him
The Recorder has never been an ar.
dent admirer of Col. Livingston, but
it must confess there is more in him
than we had given him credit for.
We are forced to acknowledge that as
a speaker and debater he would hold
his own with any man now in Con¬
gress, and there is where he should
he. Tliere he could do the farmers
more good than in any other sphere,
for there he would be on hand to ad¬
vocate those measures which would
bring relief, and oppose by his firey
eloquence and keen satire those meas
tires which seek to impose upon farm¬
ers additional burdens. In Congress
Colonel Livingston would be a pow¬
er for good, and could not fail to
achieve a national reputation, We
would like to see him in the Speaker’s
chair and administer to the monopo¬
lists a dose of their own medicine ; he
has got the nerve to do it, aud the
manner to do it well.”
IF YOU WANT OFFICE SAY SO,
As yet “the boys” in the county of
Newton have beeu a little backward
iu making their announcements. If
a man desires an office the fact should
*
be made known. It is all nonsense
to expict a man's friends to do all the
campaign work for a candidate who is
too weak-kneed or too modest to labor
for himself. It is childish sentimen¬
tality to fall back on imaginary dig
nity r aud swear by the sun, moon and
stars that you wouldn’t have an office
if you had to “scramble” for it. An
office worth having is worth working
for “by using the hands and feet,”
the mind and heart, and striving “to
obtain eagerly” and if necessary “tu¬
multuously.” It requires scrambling
and hustling to keep up with the ras¬
cals and tricksters of these latter days
and it takes nerve and courage to de¬
fend the right againt the wrong, If
everybody was honest and honorable
it would be patriotic to sit with fold¬
ed hands and let the office quietly, se
renely and affeetionaly embrace the
man against his will, inclination and
interest, for if all were honest there
would be no neecesssity for so
office holders and so much law and
le g‘ sl atiou. This be a live age, and
live raen are needed to meet the issues
j ask °f t ' for ,e 5t day. and It if you can’t want an it, office then
> - vou get
| don,t S row1 ’ but help elect the next
i best man on your side.
