CERTAINLY.
OUR VISITORS.
At the coming of the violets and
springs’ beautiful season our west
ern and northern guests have and
are departing. Hotels further
south have closed and the wayside
inns, where these people break
their passage, have felt the bene
fits of their brief patronage. Dal
ton has enjoyed, in a limited de
gree, their society and formed a
most pleasant acquaintence with
them through the agency of Hotel
Dalton and its splendid manage
ment.
Whatever benefit Dalton has
derived, social or pecuniary, is due
entirely to this hotel and if, by
any means, Dalton’s advantage as
a summer and winter resort could
be placed before these tourists it
would be of incalculable value to
almost every permanent citizen of
whatever sphere.
Certainly now that we are upon
the eve of the summer season some
sort of an effort should be made
to attract the tourists from further
south to Dalton. It has been, and
perhaps will be again, argued that
the Hotel Dalton is the one most
benefitted and hence most directly
interested. The Citizen denies
this. The Hotel Dalton and other
inn and boarding house keepers
make less in proportion to capital
and time invested than any one of
the other beneficiaries, such as
livery men, merchants and others.
Surely Dalton ought to and could
have 500 instead of a half hundred
summer visitors as heretofore and
there should be some effort made
to get them. A newspaper here
absolutely gets no benefit—not a
five cent piece—but The Citizen
has unselfishly sung Dalton’s
praise always and that of Hotel
Dalton.
Should Allen Candler be elected
governor, would he resign his posi
tion as president of the Gaines
ville and Jefferson and Southern
railroad, which he held on to all
the time when he was receiving a
salary as Secretary of State, or
would he attempt to act for State
and the railroads at the same time?
—Atlanta Commercial. .
I clip the above from the Dal
ton Citizen and desire to state
that. The Citizen editor made a
mistake in its credit—as the At
lanta Commercial, unlike The
Citizen, is edited by a man who
believed Colonel Candler, who in
a speech at the opening of his
campaign stated that he had re
signed the presidency of the rail
road above mentioned many years
ago. Will The Citizen correct
the above statement in its next
issue? We shall see.—Rome

THE PLOUQHBOY CANDIDATE.
The One
Eyed Ploughboy of
Pigeon Roost, the most eager can
didate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor in Georgia, is
showing great talents on the
stump. He says, modestly but
conclusively, that he is “ just the
age when Calhoun, Webster and
Clay had reached the prime of
their usefulness,” makes damnable
faces at the Republican “ana
conda,” and informs his prosperous
audiences, much to their surprise,
that “the fires in our factories
have gone out,” and that “ want
stalks abroad in our land.” It is
clear that the One Eyed Plough-
boy of Pigeon Roost is too prec
ious to be nominated for governor.
He is a museum piece.—New York
Sun.

Hon. Watt Harris elsewhere in
this issue. It is full of good dem
ocratic doctrine. Read it thought
fully and then be on the winning
side by casting your vote for him.
The hospital edition of the
Rome Georgian of thirty-six pages
printed on chrome yellow came to
The Citizen sanctum this week.
It’s the only yellow journal that
we have seen to our notion.
The corner stone of Democracy
is the rule of the majority. The
action of the executive committee
was therefore undemocratic, for it
makes it possible for Floyd county
to nominate a congressman by a
minority vote.
The Citizen is indebted to
Senator Clay for a copy of the
presidents messages on the Cu
ban situation, containing the re
port of the Maine Inquiry Court,
and photographs of the parts of
the wrecked vessel.
JUDOE POE TO POPULISTS.
The Spring Festival edition of
the Chattanooga Evening News
was a mammoth one and reflects
great credit upon that admirable
paper. Dalton has a page write
up and it created a fine opinion
here of the excellency of The
News.
The Cuban version now shall be

Belligerent Berner is still in

The fact that all the congres
sional candidates except Mr. Mad
dox are opposed to the action of
the Congressional Committee
would seem singular were it not
for another fact, namely, the ad
vantage of Floyd county and in
cidentally Mr. Maadox himself
hopes to derive from the scheme.

Harris a good majority.

A CORRECTION.
The Citizen above all things
desires to be fair and truthful.
Last week we stated that Col.
Candler’s home county had set
apart July 15th to hold a primary
and it was calculated to lead read-
to believe it referred to the
The rainy season for “Uncle
Allen will begin June 6th.

i
dismounting blocks along the way
ers
to the gubernatorial primary. The
primary over there in July is for
county officers, and June 6th for
governor. The reason given for
putting off the county primary
was that “June 6th was too early
for the farmers,” as they would be
too busy.
This statement mislead us, and
we make the correction at our first
opportunity. But we now think
it very strange that they put it off
“ until July to give the farmer a
chance.” We conclude from this
the farmer will not vote on June
6th, but the town of Gainesville
will, and of course should, vote
for Col. Candler. May we ask
was the executive committee over
there afraid the farmer would
vote against Col. Candler?
OUR CHEESE.
There is no excuse why the
region round about Dalton should
not be the producing center of the
south in cheese making. We im

Pacifico Candler has not the
braveness to meet the boys on the

It is not the part of wisdom or
discression to drop an insinuation
where a bigger fellow is likely to
pick it up.

If the candidates for governor
are to be believed that each will

dox and his scheme and bury him
beneath the proverbial avalanche
of votes.

SCOTT A BOWNE, Chemists. New York.
He Urges Them to Return to the Dem
ocratic Party.
Constitution Bureau, Brown
House, Macon, Ga„ April 14.—
(Special.)—Judge William A.
Poe, of Macon, is one of the lead-
ing populists of Bibb county. He
is a lawyer by profession, a son of
the late Washington Poe, who
was one of Macon’s most eminent
lawyers and esteemed citizens.
Judge Poe thinks the populists
should uot put out a state ticket
this year, and his views and rea
sons are clear and interesting.
“I speak not only for myself,
but for the conservative element
of the populist party,” said Judge
Poe, “when I say that the opinion
is that we should not have a state
ticket this year.
“Mr. Watson was the head and
front of the party in this state and
as strong as any man in the Unit
ed States, and has declined to
lead the party in what he recog
nizes is a hopeless fight this year.
It is a hopeless fight. We cannot
win. Why then split the white
vote of the state. Let us get to
gether again.
“We have really no great differ
ences. The populists are willing
to support the democratic ticket
and the nominees in both the
counties and the state. But in
order to get them to do so the
democrats should avoid hidebound
rules affecting the post. Take off
the rules that will prohibit the
populists from voting in the pri
maries and they will vote and
will support the democratic nom
inees at the ballot box.
“It is folly to think that a voter j
who takes part in the primaries
will not support the ticket. The
majority of men who vote are
honorable men. When a man
votes in the primary he is honor
bound to support the nominee.
Now I say that if the populists
are allowed to vote in the primar
ies they will support the demo
cratic ticket very generally
throughout the state.
“I say these things advisedly
and wish‘the utmost good faith,
believing that I speak for the best
part of the party. I feel deeply
on the subject just at this time
and I hope and believe that the
party will have no ticket in the
field this year, and if they do,
do not believe that the ticket
would receive the support of the
party at this time. If the demo
crats wish to hold out the hand of
good fellowship to the white vo
ters of this state who have differ
ed from them in politics but are
very close to them now in their
opinions and, in fact, with them
entirely on the main points of the
platform, both state and national,
now is the time for them to do it
and so strengthen the party and
unite the white people.
“I feel deeply on the subject
because this is a campaign year
and war is upon us. We people
of the south must stand together.
Georgians—white Georgians
cannot afford to be squabling
over small things in politics at
such a time, when every man
should stand shoulder to shoulder
with his neighbor.
“I feel in this that I am speak
ing for the best element of the
populist party. Here in Bibb, if
the populists are allowed to vote
in the primaries the great maior-
ity of them will stand by the dem
ocratic ticket and we will end the
war in politics to stand together
for our country, its honor and the
safety of those who are near and
dear to us.”
