Rath er than loso either I would prefer de feat. W. 8. WEST. Valdosta, Ga., Feb. 11. (o) 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, SPECIAL MONEY WHISKEY OFFER.

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 state. Rather than lose either, I would prefer defeat." — Augusta Chrohlcle. (o) The letter of Hon. W. 8. West,: in 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.
