YOUR UNCLE ALLEN.
And what a race he did run !
At the close of the Candler
]’i< kett campaign in 1888 Col
Candler is reported to have re
marked that he had “carried every
thing but Hell and Forsyth county.”
It looks at this writing as if he has
made still further encroachments
upon the premises of the enemy, for
he has captured old Forsyth by a
comfortable majority. However,
the nether domain still presents a
bold front, with its garrison and
outposts in fair working order.
And what a race he ran, did this
little ugly wrinkled old man! As
we write we have before us his
picture quaint, homely almost
grotesque in its homeliness. And
we are thinking, what is the force
in this little nervous personality that
he should set a great state into a
blaze and a whirlwind ? And we
think of the “Little Corporal,”
about the size of Candler, who
could reach out his hand—a hand
that could scarcely raise an hundred
weight—and take empires by the
throat.
And what a race he did run—the
like of which the State has never
seen ! Away last winter we said
there were several good races in the
old man yet—that he would yet
show the younger politicians a few
points—that he could carry a rail
and outrun the best of them. And
he has done more—be has beat the
consolidated speed of two of the
choicest pacers—and, too, with the
Constitution as a jockey, with its
thousand-pound lecord of odorif
erous disrepute. When we gave the
politicians notice that such would be
the outcome they didn’t believe us,
and they now have only their own
incredulity to blame for their un
profitable wildgoose chase after the
gold at the foot of the rainbow. It
has often been our luck to have folks
decline to take our advice and after
ward get in a muss and spoil their ap
parel. It is our province as a
journalist to sound a warning and
say, “Woe unto thee,” etc., and if
they don’t see fit to woe it will not
be our funeral.
But we don’t hardly know what
to call that thing that happened
Monday unless we should say it was
an explosion. It wouldn’t do to call
it a landslide, for it was a straight-up
perpendicular movement, with no
sliding about it. It was not a ground
swell, for it burst right open in the
middle without swelling at al l .
As a politician Candler is with
out a peer in all this broad land. As
a judge of means to ends his con
clusions are marvelously accurate.
In diagnosis .-f the public pulse he is
a past grand master. In his long
career as a politician only one slip
can be charged to his record, and
that is the letter he wrote to take the
edge off the excruciating truths in
the Meyerhardt letter, and that
was written in compliance with the
hysterical pleadings of some of his
over-timed advisers.
But Candler’s exliaordinary
ability to successfully carry an issue
before the common people lies in the
fact that he is one of them. He was
born one of them and raised one of
them. He absorbed with them the
flavor of the soil, and be knows by
instinct their various conceits, whims,
and aspirations.
Just think of it! This little comic
valentine of a man who has turned
the whole country from the moun
tains to the sea into a torchlight
procession of patriotic enthusiasm,
once upon a time, when a little boy,
sold broom-sedge in Lumpkin county
to buy his school books.
But there is good blood in the
Candlers, and to such as they ob
stacles and adversities are but the
winds that strengthen the founda
lions of the oak. First of all, in
the Candler blood there is the
Fly mouth Rock of conscience from
which spring the high incentives of
life and the motives and purposes
that make men great. Then there
is the strong intellectual cast which,
yoked with indomitable piuck and
aggressiveness, makes them a power
among men and turns out warriors,
orators, bishops, and governors.
We can lay no claim to Homer’s
birthplace, but we want the world to
know that we appreciate the honor
of numbering this greatest of
Georgians among our citizenry—that
he is our neighbor—that he is among
us plain Allen Candler, with no
ruffles or frills.
Speaking personally, there is no
man on the face of the earth whom
we had rather see honored as
Candler has been honored by his
native state, and we believe that in
the future anything he wants at the
hands of Georgians will be bis
for the asking. The Ninth district
needs a Congressman, and there is a
United States Senatorship for him
anywhere along the line.
OUR CONGRESSIONAL STANDARD
BEARER.
There are laurels for the victor
and weeds fi r the vanquished. The
side which we espoused has gone
down «n defeat, and the side which
we labored ardently to defeat has
taken nearly everything in sight and I
is on the crest of victory. But the I
consciousness that we have acted our,
part honestly, truthfully, and fairly .
with the people and with Mr. Tate '
is a thing we prize far more than
success with questionable methods ;
consequently we have this morning
after the election eaten our crow
without any bad taste in our mouth.
A clear conscience is a good sauce to
divest a crow < f its belligerent
and internecine flavor. With its aid
we could eat a setting buzzard and
never bat an eye.
Our opposition to Mr. Tate was
because we believed his incumbency
in the Congressional office was sub
versive of the good of the people and
of the Democratic party. Our sup
port of Mr. Thompson was because
we believed he would make an able
honest Congressman, whom the peo
ple would be proud to honor.
Against this view the people of the
district have registered a most em
phatic dissent. The majority having
spoken, this is no time for protest.
It is not now for us to question as lo
what percentage of the people’s
verdict has been spoken with intelli
gence and patriotism. The party has
acted, and loyalty to party with us
is everything. That loyalty to party
which prompts us to earnestly striye
for the most acceptable man for
standard bearer also prompts us to
ground our arms whenever the
majority have made a choice. With
us, the tag of regularity covers a
multitude of sins, and that tag of
regularity is our guide-board always,
even though an unwholesome person
ality may be squatted behind it.
Party loyalty and political ethics
have made it a law that all Demo
crats shall support the nominee, and
we shall scrupulously follow those
unwritten statutes. We do not
abate one jot nor tittle of what we
have said heretofore. What we said
was from honest and sincere motives ;
but as Carter Tate is our standard
bearer, we give him our cordial and
unreserved support to the end that
the Democratic party through him
may triumph over its enemies.
With the scant material at hand
we enter cheerfully upon the task of
patching up a reason why Brother
Tate should go to Congress again.
We pray and ask the brethering to
pray that we may be given more light
than we have yet had.
THE DEFEATED.
Hon. Howard Thompson, to
whom the Eagle has accorded its
cordial and disinterested support,
goes down to defeat without regret
or remorse. He has made a clean
and honorable race. His course has
been open, fair, and frank. He has
treated bis opponent with that cour
teous consideration which you can
always expect from a gentleman.
His defeat can be attributed to
the fact that the people do not know
him and that hundreds of votes were
obtained against him by unjust
and immoral influences. How
ever, he has greatly extend
ed his acquaintanceship among
the people. He has made hundreds
of friends among those who did not
know him before, who are attracted
to him by his admirable social gifts
and who recognize his more than or
dinary ability as an orator.
Howard is just in the prime of
life. The future with its bounties is
in store for him. His friends ear
nestly wish for him unbounded suc-
Ciss in whatever he may undertake.
OUR CHAUTAUQUA.
Prospects for Chautauqua continue
to grow brighter. The program will
be one of literary merit, musical har
mony, and general interest to all.
Special trains will be run on all the
roads and visitorswill get the benefit
of exceedingly low rates.
Saturday, July 9, will be the great
est day, educationally, that North
Georgia has ever known. The Sem
inary offers a year’s board and tui
tion to that pupil of the public
schools of North Georgia who makes
the best examination in the princi
ples of Reading, Geography, Gram
mar and Arithmetic This offer is
open to any pupil (female, of course,)
who attends the county schools of
any North Georgia county. Pupils
of the city schools are excluded, as
Profs. Van Hoose and Pearce are
doing everything in their power to
foster and develop educational inter
ests among the girls of the country.
Any young lady who desires to enter
this contest can get full particulars
by addressing either Prof. Van
Hoose or Prof. Pearce at Gaines
ville.
The Seminary deserves the thanks
of our people generally for the effort
it is making to educate our girls.
We hope a large number will enter
the contest, for it will be valuable
experience to each contestant, even
if the prize is lost.
The examination will be held on
Friday morning at the Seminary, and
is restricted to those who are ready
to enter not higher than the Fresh
man class of the Seminary.
On Saturday, July 9, the award
will be made to the successful candi
date. Bishop W. A. Candler and
Commissioner Glenn will make
great speeches on this day, and all
the county schools are requested to
unite in making the day the greatest
ever known in North Georgia.
Come to Chautauqua. Come to
spend the entire ten days. You will
never regret it.
SIXTEEN TO ONE.
Carter Tate carried every county
but Hall on Monday—sixteen coun
ties to Thompson’s one. As to
majorities we have received very
little information. Tate’s earned
Jackson by about 450, Gwinnett
about the same, Dawson by 80 and
Lumpkin by 90, and Cherokee and
Pickens about 300 each. Thompson
carried Hall by about 700. Next
week we will give the result in full
if the Tate editors are not too drunk
to print the returns.
‘DIRTY CAMPAIGN METHODS EXPOSED.’
Many of our readers will remem
ber that on last Saturday was circu
lated a dodger consisting of a letter
from J. 11. Moore of Fair Play, S.
C, to F. C. Tate, and headed “Dirty
Campaign Methods Exposed.” Re
lating to this matter we have re
ceived the following communications:
Fair Play, S. C., June 6, ’9B.
Editor Eagle :
Dear Sir—l enclose a card which
I wish you would publish, although
the election is over by this time and
the matter is settled. However, I
have been treated unjustly by Mr.
Tate, as he never published over
half of my letter, and he so arranged
it as to utterly misrepresent its mean
ing, and makes me deny the truth of
my own affidavit, and I suppose of
course he has sent the circulars all
over the district.
Respectfully, J. H. Moore, M. D.
To the Public: I have just re
ceived a copy of the circular claim
ing to be a letter written by me to
Hon. F. C. Tate on May 31, with
some very flaring headlines, in which
I am apparently made to contradict
my own affidavit, as well as that of
Mr. P. J. Shore and others.
I did write Mr. Tate a letter on
the above date, which was not in
tended for publication or to be used
in the campaign, but was of a private,
personal nature, and inasmuch as he
has seen fit to publish only a few
garbled extracts, which put an en
tirely different meaning on it, I wish
to make this explanation, as I do not
wish to be placed in such an unen
viable position before the public.
The letter as published no more con
veys the sentiments of the original
than the statement that the Bible
says “There is no God,” without
quoting the preceding part of the
sentence. I have always supported
Mr. Tate until I became a citizen of
South Carolina, and as I am an en
thusiast on the principles of the
Chicago platform I told Mr. Find
ley that I would vote for Tate on
his record, as he seemed to be in
harmony with it. But as the affida
vit of Mr. P. J. Shore had been at
tack! d when I knew it was true, and
a great deal more, I felt it my duty
to substantiate it with my own, and
I wrote Mr. Tate an explanation of
how I came to do it. When I failed
to receive the appointment as post
master at Cornelia I accepted it with
good grace, realizing that some one
had to be defeated, and have since
devoted my time to other pursuits
outside of politics. That Furr
agreed to use his influence in my be
half for the consideration of one hun
dred dollars should I receive the ap
pointment is true, also every word as
expressed in my affidavit and that of
Mr. Shore, but that Tate was a
partner to the transaction I could
not swear to, which was what I had
i reference to in the statement con
tained in the circular that “I refused
to make a statement connecting
Tate with the Furr transaction.”
If Mr. Tate had published my letter
entire it would have been worthless
to him as a campaign circular, as it
was certainly not intended to be
u-ed as such and never wouid have
been only after being very carefully
edited and the true meaning dis
guised by leaving out the greater
portion of it. Respectfully,
J. H. Moore, M. D.
Fair Play, S. C., June 6, 1896.
The above card, we think, fully
exonerates the Eagle and Col. W. F.
Findley from the charge of “dirty
campaign methods.” The charge
which Dr. Moore makes against Mr.
Tate is a serious one—criminal libel
and forgery. If Mr. Tate has been
placed in a false light, justice to him
self, to the Democratic party, and to
the people demands that Dr. Moore’s
full and correct letter be given to the
public, and for that purpose our col
umns are open.
GOBBLING THE CREDIT.
The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday contained many columns of
smile • provoking literature laying
claim to the honor of Candler’s
great victory. The Constitution sup
ported Candler gallantly, it is tru-,
thereby showing favorable signs of
reform and regeneracy from its past
malodorous record.
That the Constitution folks are
wise as serpents all must admit.
With the unerring acumen of the
trained confidence-man they picked
Candler out for a winner at the
start and hastentd to pre-empt the
front seat in the band wagon.
The Constitution was a load on
Candler’s back. Its ardent sup
port makes his victory all the more
remarkable.
Big Grain Crops.
The farmers are busy this week
cutting their wheat crop. The wheat is
said to be fine, and the largest crop
which has been produced in this county
for a number of years is now in the field.
A large corn crop has been planted, and
as grain is high this section feels com
paratively easy.
With plenty of food supplies in the
barn and smokehouse, and with cotton a
surplus, war will not impoverish our peo
pie or cause them the inconvenience that
it will cause those who live in the more
extreme cotton section.
ALL ONE WAY,

COMING TO GAINESVILLE.
The Celebrated Dr. J. Harvey Moore,
of Atlanta, to Be Here.
THE PEOPLE, THE PRESS, AND PHYSI
CIANS PRAISE HIS WONDERFUL
SKILL.
From the Cherokee Advance.
“Canton had a distinguished vis
itor last week in the person of Dr
J. Harvey Moore, the great eye, ear,
nose and throat doctor of Atlanta.
He came on professional business,
and invitation to attend the North
Georgia Medical Association, which
met in Canton last Saturday. Dr.
Moore is not whooly unacquainted
with the people of Cherokee, as he
has treated and is now treating many
of them for some ailment for which
he is especially prepared. Besides,
Dr. Moore has relatives in the
county, and his grandfather died and
is buried here. His grandfather wa*
Mr. Thornton Moore, who, it will b
remembered, was bitten by a horse
in Canton about twelve years ago
from which he died. Dr. Moore is a
native of North Georgia, and his peo
ple were among the most prominent,
wealthy and influential in their sec
tion, before the war. His ni-ucrual
great-grandfather, Win R. U.l-r,
built the turpnpiko road across the
Blue Ridge Mountain, his p ;.t o rn >1
great-grandfathi r served th'ough the
Revolutionary war, being then a
citizen of South Carolina. Shortly
after the late war hie parents moved
north, and Dr. Moore was educated
in the best -institutions of Phila
delphia and New York, graduating
from Jefferson Medical C dlege,
Philadelphia. In 1882 he took special
courses in Philadelphia and 'New
York. He practiced his profession
as a specialist with remarkable suc
cess in Northeastern Pennsylvania,
but a few years ago, moved back to
Georgia, and has since built up a very
enviable practice throughout the
South. He is winning friends all
over the State as he becomes better
known. While here last Saturday,
as the guest of the North Georgia
Medical Association, he performed
an operation on tbe eyes of Charles
Wilson, whose eyes were badly
crossed. The operation was very
skillfully performed, and the physi
cians were very much interestd in
bis mode. The president stated i<>
the Association that he had seen . the
operation performed many times by
distinguished eye surgeons, but that
he had never seen it so skillfully
done as it was by Dr. Moore. Little
Charlie is getting along finely.
Others in the county have bad their
eyes treated by Moore, among them
Rev. B. B. Vaughan and Eugene
McCanless, of Canton. While in
Canton Dr. Moore was the guest of
Dr. Coleham and Rev. B. B.
Vaughan, and he also visited hie
kinsman, Mr. Anthony Fair, and
other friends near Buffington.”
Dr. Moore will be in Gainesville
for two days, Friday and Saturday,
June 24th and 25th. All needing
eye, ear, throat or catarrh treatmen:
will do well to call and see him and
save the expense of going to Atlanta.
The Election.
The election at the city precinct Mon
day passed off very quietly. There were
no parties electioneering for the differ
ent candidates. The people of Gaines
ville wanted to honor their two noble
fellow townsmen. Hons. Allen D. Can
dler and Howard Thompson. They did
so in a very quiet, dignified way. When
tbe final count was made the vote stood:
For Candler 539
For Berner 9
For Atkinson 6
Total 554
For Thompson 481
For Tate 74
Total 555
The managers deferred consolidating
the returns from the different districts
of the county until this afternoon, hence
we cannot give the official vote of the
county.
Thompson’s majority in the county is
between 700 and 800. Candler got prac
tically all the votes cast.

The School Books.
The County Board of Education held
an important meeting in the commis
sioner’s office Monday. The question of
changing the school books, involving an
expenditure of about $1,200, consumed a
greater portion of the day, as the agents
of the different book concerns were here
and each made a speech to the Board
giving reasons why their books should
be used. The Board, however, re
adopted the old books, thereby saving
the patrons a large sum of money. The
only change made was the adoption
of *the Roudebush writing system,
but this involves no extra expense,
as copy books are used up and new ones
must be purchased.
This action on the part of the Board of
Education will meet with approval
throughout the county.

Our sidewalks and streets have been

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a Constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
propiietors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they oiler One Hundred Dollars

Bld You Take
Scott’s
Emulsion
through the winter? If so, we
are sure it quieted your cough,
healed the rawness in your
throat, increased your weight,
gave you more color, and made
you feel better in every way.
But perhaps your cough has
come back again, or you are get
ting a little thin and pale.
Then, why not continue the
same helpful remedy right
through the summer? It will do
you as much good as when the
weather is cold.
Its persistent use will certainly
give you a better appetite and a
stronger digestion.
It will cure your
weak throat and heal
your inflamed lungs,
It will cure every case 3 ’

Don’t be persuaded '
