TUE SENATORIAL QUESTION.
The senatorial question is now the
leading topic among the people 0 !
Georgia.
Heietoiore it ha# been generally
concede 1 ibat Got. Gordon would
•ucceed Senator Brown in the Uni.
led States senate, and that ho would
probably be ekeled without opposi¬
tion.
But a change hits taken place in
the minds of a largo class of our
people, particularly among the als
liance, and now it appears that the
governor will frnvo serious and dcs
termneri opposition for the senato¬
rial plum.
h 4^
YnrontTjy
pudiation ...... of the sub-treasury , plank
in the alliance platform.
Until within a few wooks ago,
when the state alliance was in ses¬
sion in Atlanta, it was generally un¬
derstood that the governor fully and
heartily endorsed the entire alliance
platform, and was in full sympathy
and accord with the alliance move¬
ment in that direction.
Many alliancemen have been nor -
inated lor the legislature, and have
pledged their support to Gov. Gor¬
don with the understanding that he
■was a believer in the alliance does
trine, and that be heartily -----'--a endorsed
, - |------,
•
and all.
But now (ho governor repudiutes
tl • sub-treasury bill, which is the
Wain plank in the alliance platform,
and the one upon which they have
made their fight and won their vic¬
tories in the present campaign.
The question now is; Can the al
liance consistently support Gov.
G irdon for the United States senato,
since he has thus arrayed himself
against their platform ?
We rather think they cannot. If
they do, they may as well “throw up
the sponge," so to speak, and give up
the fight lor all time to come, "in another as t hov
—••
victory.
We see a great many nemos of
prominent gentlemen, citizens of
our state, who aro being mentioned
in connection with ibo senatorial
race among them wo notice Hon.
T. M. Norwood, Dr Fulton, Ex Guv.
M Daniel, Tom Watson,C C. Black,
and others.
But our opinion is that none of
these gentlemen will be in th e race
when the legislature tpeets in No
▼ember.
Tbe Star believes tbero io but one
man in Georgia w ho can successfully
oppose Gov. Gordon, for tbe senate,
and that man is Hon. L. F, Livings
v- 6
stop, of Newton county.
Mr. Livingston cannot now be
said to be in the race for senator, but
from the present indications among
tbe alliance, we believe be will be
swept into it upon the swelling k ear- lul
. T n , , long , Leiore the , legislature
,
meets iu joint session, in N> uvember, ;
to elect a senator. i
This is tbe outlook now, and we.
honestly 1
believe Mr. Livingston will j
be the man put forward to make the i
raco, in opposition to Gov. Gordon,
if any m ,n is entered against him at
all.
A lepal decision in Tennessee holds
that a guest cannot be charged for a fire
in his room, tha hotel having taeitlv
agreed to make him comfortable when
it opened its doors for business.
There is nothing that gives the coun.
try greater satisfaction than see the republican
leaders quarreling among themselves over the
tariff bill and the force bilL l— The former is in
tended to rob the people, and the latter to de¬
prive them of their liberties. ,

a OK WOOD TALKS.
Hon. Thos. M. Norwood, Ex-Uni¬
States Senator, in a recent inter¬
created a sensation by the oppn
in which he espoused the
and advocated the principles oT
Farmers Alliance. Among other
things he said that he was not a can¬
didate for U. S. Senator, and adds :
“I do not see, however, any sin in it j
if I am. The senatorship is not pri¬ !
vate property. I know no one so big
in this Democratic country that it
would be impious or imprudent to op
him. There is no preemptions
homestead on any office.” He says
i I consider tlie movement set on foot
the Alliance as the grandest since
declaration of independence or
destruction of the Bust-ile and the
of the Bourbon dynastry.
movement is a second declaration
independence ami of equal impor¬
with the first. The first was a
against paying a tax of a few
on tea. The second is resistance
the illegal tax of hundreds of mil¬
a year. The first was resistance
paying an unjust tribute to a
The second is against paying
bounties to a rotten, moneyed
The first was against
those who ruled hv divine right. The
second against those who ruled by
moneyed might. The first was against
usurpation and so is the second. ••
About the sub-treasury he said :—
“There is the rub; it seems to be the
thing to do, to jump on the sub treas
ury bilk The Alliance have been
treated as if they were children and
did not know what they wanted, 'and
their bill as the offspring of stupidity.
It has been treated as if the produc
tion of a lunatic asylum. The treat¬
ment of that bili, in my judgment, is
unwke, impolitic, unjust, unstates.,
m n like and unpatriotic.” As to its
uiiconstitutionafity he replied : “If
tl e constitution can be amended three
v from f r * slavery, to .Drotsct five
minion negroes can’t it
lie amended once in a hundred years
to save sixty million whites from slav¬
ery ?” He adds my “hope of peace¬
able deliveries for the whole country
rests with the Alliance, We give
only a brief synopsis of the interview
which first appeared in the Atlanta
Constitution.
FROM ALCOVA ALLIANCE.
No. 333. August 23, 1890.
Resolved, 3 hat in the opinion of
this Alliance the public school system
of the state of Georgia is a great im¬
pediment to education, atjjj l^t
creating public schools and leave the
education of children in the hands
of their parents or trustees, they can
attend to that matter much better
than the state government, Reduce
taxation ns much as is raised for
school purposes and we will have bet¬
ter schools and a better educated peo
pie. Use the rental of the state road
to pay the debt of the state.
Reselvcd, To request our next rep¬
resentative to take such steps as will
bring about a repeal of the present
law as soon as possible.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
pub tne lish ooutiin ed in our innauce county Farmer, naper® olen and
11
we respectfully a.k an expression of
every Alliance in this state on this
free school system, through our AIR
ance papers. A. C. Mixoy, Pres.
