An Explanation That Explains.
Quite the clearest, as well os tho
shortoat contribution to the fronzied
political discussion that has been going
on in the newspapers for some time
is a card from Hob. Wj 8. West,
Lowndes, candidate for president of
the Georgia senate, In whose .behalf
tho Hon. W. W. Osborne claims to
havo started tho row, only to “turn
against his own candidate" in hls'last
public letter and call upon him to ex
plain his present position. ,
Mr. West is evidently no space wri
ter liko Mr. Osborne, or oven Mr. Mor
ris, but manages to confine himself to
less than a quarter of a column. In
that short space, however, he puts
forth an explanation that explains.
Mr. West’s explanation is to tho ^ffect
that tho wholo troublo grows out of
a confusion that has grown up In Mr.
Osborne’s mind. *
"It seems," says Mr. West, "that be
cause he met with somo other friends
of mine to further my interests In this
race, ho has arrived at the conclusion
that I was to go off to Florida and
‘look into a gopher hole,’ while he was
lar, or being the representative
faction, clique or combinatloj
That is plain talk, and
sense as well. It is also
In this day, when almost every candi
date for public office is promptly put
down as the candidate of tome par
ticular individual ring or clique. On
this point Mr. West again expresses
himself with clearness, at the same
time intimating that, perhaps, Mr. Os
borne’s experience in Savannah poli
tics has led him into tho habit of ap
propriating any candidate whose cause
ho happened to espouse. He says:
"I am told by those familiar with
municipal politics that is quite a nat
ural mistake to bo made, and one that
frequently occurs.”
And yot Mr. West would acquit Mr.
Osborne of any purpose to do him
harm, preferring to believe that the
latter was merely confused as to
whose race it was; for he says:
"While a great many of my friends
over tho state have been insisting to
roe that Mr. Osborne was stabbing me
in the back in this race, and really
seeking to compass my defeat under
the guise of friendship, I have si
fastly sot my face against this,

It must bo confessed that Mr. West
has given the public a very clear and
strong statement of his position, par
ticularly when he Indulges in the fol
lowing straight-from-thc-shouldor talk:
"I havo a record boforo the peo
ple of Georgia that must be fa
miliar to all who keep up with cur
rent events, and if I am elected
as president of the senate I pro
pose to discharge the duties of
that high trust In the same
straightforward, impartial manner
that I have always discharged my
duties in the past In serving the
people. One thing is certain, that
I will so conduct my campaign
and so discharge the duties of
the office, if elected, os to pre
serve my ow self-respect and the
respect of the good people of the

would prefer defeat." — Augusta

which he undertakes to "remove Jhe
misunderstandings" under which /lie
says Col. Billy Osborno seems to (la
bor with reference to his (Mr. West’s)
candidacy for tho presidency of Ithe
senate, is o clever piece of subtle! sa
tire. Mr. -West handles himself bet
ter than either of tho other gentle
men who have felt called upon/ to
take notico of Mr. Osborne’s "fronzied
politics" letters, and ho manages to
say what ho wants to say, and all that
appears necessary for him to say,
without losing his temper or calling
any names.—Albany Herald.
