“PASSING OF THE BOSS.”
Some Old Soldiers Reply to an
Article With That Heading.
They Repute the Charge That There
Has Been any Bossism and Score
the Author of the Charge.
Ei» Echo: —In your issue of April
Oil) there is an article which we, who
pride ourselves upon having once been
Confederate soldiers, and who still
honor the cause in behalf of which we
faithfully tried to do our duty, regard
as unjust and uncalled for.
We beg leave to say, once foY all,
that we do not write this in the inter¬
est of Evans or Atkinson, but in de¬
fense of our own reputation which we
regard as basely and insidiously slan¬
dered by that would-be clown, who
masquerades Ham. under the name of “Suol
lygoster,”
“The Passing of the Boss.” Who
is the boss? Go to every precinct in
Georgia and ask who it is that lays
and manipulates the the wires of political
trickery and answer will be “Not
the old Confederate soldier but the
men who lay at home and grew rich on
the life blood of the soldier’s widow
and orphans.”
In “The Passing noble of Arthur,” Ten¬
nyson pays a tribute to one of
the noblest bauds of knightly heroes
that ever drew sword in defense of
their native land ere they were betray¬
ed by the base born Madred and his
followers. Perhaps similitude Ham was not
aware of the when he gave
birth to his miserable travesty, “The
passing of the Boss.” Yes, like Ar¬
thur aud his knight, the. Confederate
banner went down overpowered by
numbers and betrayed by the selfish¬
ness of those bomb proof heroes who
for thirty years Georgia. have sought to rule the
politics of from
“When Radicalism was swept
Georgia circumstances put a certain
class of men to the front.” Who
swept the Radical power from Georgia
aud came to the front? Was it the
noble army of sultans and stay-at
homes or was it those who bore th<?
“brand of C. S. A.?”
“The men whom a good war record
forced to the front.” Pray, Mr. Ilog,
what other class of men were there in
Georgia in those days worthy and
courageous enough to stand at the
front except these poor “branded” C.
S. A. soldiers.
“The old soldiers were rustled up to
do its bidding.” Young men of Geor¬
gia were your fathers fools with no
will of their own to decide whom they
would have to rule over them?
“Those who wished to be judges,
etc., stood bat iu hand.” Alas! noble
Jackson and cultured Bleckly, did you
indeed stoop so low to secure your
honored position?
“The grand hippodrome of a well
nigh dead Confederate president.”
Most sapient and “Ilog,” was it indeed a
disgrace clasp matter the of jest when we
longed to hand and hear once
more the voice of our honored chief
ere he passed old soldier into the great eternity?
“The all the while the
corner stone and loyal respondent to
every call.” Yes; it is true. He was
the loyal respondent and corner stone
iu the terrible days of lire and death;
he was the loyal respondent and corner
stone in the dark days of reconstruc¬
tion that enabled Georgia to raise her
proud head once more as the Empire
State and because be has asked for a
few of the crumbs table that dropped hoisted from into
the “Boss’s” must be
oblivion and disgrace?
“1894 will be memorable by witness¬
ing the passing of the Boss.” God
gram that it may he true aud that such
trash as this “parvenu” scion of “Og,
King of Bashan,” may pass into the
oblivion from whence they issued.
Thanks, ignoble swine, for that assur¬
ance. Could we know that you are a
true prophet we would eveu stoop to
clasp your hand and give it a hearty
shake ere you and your claws pass
away into the oblivion you so richly
merit.
