LASHING COLLIVIN GSTON
W. G. WHIDBT TAKES OFFENSE AT
A CARD FROM THE CObONEL.
He Says the Alliance Leader Violated
a Confidence and Did Not Stick
Close to the Truth—Other Incidents
of the Campaign In the State—Liv
ingston and the Senatorship.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 4. —W. G. Whidby,
au old newspaper man and heretofore a
strong supporter rf Col. Livingston, has
just pitched into him on account of a cer
tain publication which appeared in the
Athens Banner on the 31st ult. The cor
respondent represented Col. Livingston as
very anxious to learn the authorship of a
certain letter sent to him to sign, renounc
ing all claim to the senatorship. There
were some comments also, with which the
reply of Mr. Whidby deals sufficiently.
Mr. Whidby's salty letter is as follows
Atlanta. Ga.. Aug. 4, 1890.
To the Editor of the Athene Bonnet:
In your issue of tbe 31st ult.. under the head
of A Sensational Letter Received hv CoL Liv
ingston." sent from Atlanta under date of July
30tn, is a statement that Mr. Livingston bad
received a letter and wanted to know who in
spired it." After pretending to give the sub
stance of the 1-tter this telegram
goes on to say: "The gentleman who
mailed him this "letter is bound to secrecy,
but Col. Livingstou expects to dis over its
author. He knows two people at the capital
who yesterday knew that the letter had bo-n
sent, though ne did not receive it until to-day.
He knows two other people who read the letter
before it was mailed. At least that s what
they tell me, and yet they say, he laughed
that Gordon ain’t scared " As the friend or
Col Livingston and of Gov. Gordon. I wrote
him [Livingston! a private and confidential let
ter. telling him the necessity of making
some declaration in relation to the senatorship
to prevent the alienation of friends from him.
1 wrote as a friend and in good faith, believing
him to he a gentleman In consultation with
my friend. Judge James 8. Hook, whose wis
dom and prudence I have often sought in the
past, he drew up a letter in duplicate for Mr.
Livingston to si. n. setting at rest this matter
No living soul outside of myself ever saw my
letter to Col Livingston before I delivered
it in person July 16 to Capb Harry C. Hrown
of the Southern Allian< e farmer to deliver to
Mr. Livingston. If anybody has read the letter
since besides Mr. Livnigton, it was not with my
consent. On July 29 I was in the office of the
Southern Alliance Fanner and called Mr. I.iv
ingston’s attention to my letter and asked a
reply. Under date of July SO he wrote:
~Dsar Sik and Brother: Yours of the 25th
instant was received and noted I thank you
for your support and kind efforts in my behalf.
The enclosed paper for my signature w ill be
preserved for future consideration Very truly
yours, L. F. Livingston.
He knew that I w rote the letter to him, and I
have reason to believe that he knew Judge
Hook prepared the paper for his signature In
intercourse between gentlemen, it is usual for
them to preserve inviolate what is communi
cated to them in confidence, and as
an act of friendship the insinuation
as to the inspiration of the paper
is unworthy even of a demagogue. I make this
plain statement of facts to correct the im
pression sought, to be made by this surreptitious
tel-gram and leave an honest and manly public
to judge whether a man who will betray the
confidence of a gentleman is worthy of the con
fidence and trust of the people.

cal Pointers.
Ty-Ty, Aug. 4.—The Methodist protract
ed meeting, which has been in progress here
for the past week, has closed. T ere was
quite a number of conversions, and a tre
mendous warming up of the church, town
and surrounding country.

able to be at bis post of duty.
Politics is quiet iu this county. The
alliance has put out Dr. Perry as their
standard bearer for the legislature. It is
predicted that there will be several candi
dates for that place. It is hard to tell what
tbe result will ba, for, in the language of
Judge Stewart in speaking to his fellow
congressmen upon his arrival in Washing
ton after his defeat by Livingston, “This
alliance is a powerful organization. ”
HOMICIDE AT A SAW-MILL.
A Man Who Went to Kill Another
Loses His Own Life.
Harlem, Ga., Aug. 4. —This afternoon
at the saw-mill of H. A, Merry, about eight
miles from this place, in Richmond county,
a difficulty occurred between two negro
men named Bill W heeler and Jerry Lee. It
appears that Lee is an overbearing man and
had been domineering over Wheeler for
some time. This afternoon he walked up
to W heeler and took him by the arm with
a knife in his hand, and told him they
would "nave it out” now. He then made a
pass at Wheeler with his knife, which might
have proved fatal hud Wheeler not jumped
back. He cut his clothing. Lee, thiuki g
he had killed Wheeler, turned to go off
when Wheeler struck him with a piece of
scantling, knocking him partly down. Then
Wheeler stuck bis knife in Leo’s arm and
thigh, causing death in a few minutes.

LIVINGSTON LAYING LOW.
He Seems Inclined to Stand for the
Senatorship.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4. —Though CoL
Livingston is with reason supposed to have
a large voice in ttie utterances of the South
ern Alliance Farmer, there are people here
who feel not quite sure tnat be and Editor
, Brown are on exactly the same line in their
i political opinions. L litor Brown says Col.
Livingstou will not run for the Senate. Col.
| Livingston intimates that EJitor Brown
don’t know what he is talking about. Some
time last week the correspondent of an o.t
i of town paper stated tnat Jlr. Brown had 6aid
that the report that CoL Livingston would
run for the United States Senate had been
circulated by enemies who sought to array
Gov. Gordon's friends against the alliance
sovereign. In the same article Mr. Brown
was quoted as having expressed his inten
tion of publishing, editorially, comments to
the same effect in the next issue of his
paper.
LIVINGSTON REITERATES.
The issue appeared without any such
utterance, and Col. Livingston, when ques
tioned, intimated in very plain terms that
Mr. Brown did net know what he was say-
I mg, and added something about the depth
and breadth of the current floating the re
marks in question, of the volume of which
Mr. Brow i was unacquainted. In tae
meantime it came to the ears of the News
correspondent that Editor Brown had ex
pressed hiuiself as being anything but a be
liever in the report that CoL Livingston
would attempt the senatorial race. His
idea, as renearsed by his hearers, was
that opposition to Gov. Gordon was per
haps the one thing on which the alliance
would not stand solid, and for that reason
the projectors of such a movement would
know 1 letter than to attempt it.
A VAGUE EDITORIAL
To-day appears in the Alliance Farmer
a brief editorial which seems to verify the
reported view which Mr. Brown takes of
the matter. The editorial reads:
We have been annoyed a great deal recently
by questions concerning the rumor that Col.
Livingston is a candidate for the United States
Sei.at*. We cannot imagine why or how any
such report ever started. CoL Livingston cer
tainly had nothing to do with it. He is a can
didate for a seat m congress and expects to be
elected. It is unfair to hold Col. Livingston
responsible for rumors which other parties have
started and with which he has had nothing to
do, and which he has never given any consid
eration. We cannot afford to lose sight of the
fact that Col. Livingston is a candidate for con
gress in behalf of the people, and don’t pro
pose to have our friends side-tracked by any
such reports.
It wiii be noted that this editorial, which
appears to avoid stating in so many words
that CoL Livingston will not be a senatorial
candidate, honestly intimates as much.
Whether the colonel indorses 6uch an inti
mation could not be learned to-night, since
he failed to return to the city from bis
country home, as he usually does on Mon
days, and it was therefore out of the ques
tion to obtain an expression from him on
this point, as well as on the letter of Mr.
Whidby.
ALL ABOUT AUGUSTA.
A Clergyman Resigns—The Street
Railroad Trouble Ended.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 4.—Dr. J. 11. Brit
tan, pastor of tbe Curtis Baptist church,
has resigned to accept a unanimous call
from the Central Baptist church m Atlanta.
Thomas Hamill was elected registry clerk
by the city council this afternoon.
The council has decidud to build, at a cost
of SB,OOO, anew bridge over tho canal at
Broad street, in Harrisburg.
The trouble between the South Carolina
railroad and the Augusta Railroad Com
pany about the crossing over the Twiggs
street curve is about ended by the agree
ment of the electric road to put in a cross
ing that will be satisfactory to tbe Caro
lina road.
WORK IN NORTH AUGUSTA.
Active work was begun in North Augusta
to day. Landscape Engineer Boeckh and
W. M. Jackson to-day began work with a
large force of bands on the Carolina side,
just across the river from McKinne street,
and they will lay off and grade the streets
and lots, beginning at that point. The first
thing will be a splendid boulevard from the
new river bridge to the top of the ridge
crossing North Augusta. They will increase
the force and push the work right along.
BLOUNT WILL GO BACK.
The Campaign in tho Sixth District
Ends in Hie b avor.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 4.—The primary elec
tion for congressman in Bibb county to-day
resulted in favor of Congressman Blount by
a majority of 899 votes.
In Jasper county Mr. Blount was also
successful, and the returns as received give
him a majority of 211, with three smaller
districts still out.
The fight in Bibb county was exciting,
and the Hughes men fought desperately
until the polls closed at ti o’clock. All
through the afternoon it was evident that
they were beaten. Their desire appeared to
be to keep CoL Blount’s majority down as
low as possible.
At the court house in Macon 1,935 votes
were cast, CoL Blount receiving a majoritv
of 899 votes.
This closes the campaign in this district.
It resulted, by couuties, os follows, there
being 30 votes, and 16 being required for
election.
Blouut—Bibb 6, Pike 4, Monroe 4, Bald
win 2, Butts 2, Jasper 2, Crawford 2,
Jones 4-s—total 22 4-5.
Hughes—Twiggs 2, Upson 2, Wilkinson 2,
Jones 1 1-5 —total 7 1-5.
LIVINGSTON’S DUAL ROLE.
He Will Be Alliance President and
Congressman.
Atlanta, Aug. 4. —In its issue of to-day
the Southern Alliance Farmer, in answer
to inquiries, calls attention to the fact that
CoL Livingston is eligible to re-eloction as
to tbe presidency of the order in Georgia.
He has, it says, only serve! part of the un
expired term of ex-Presideut Jackson, and
one full term of his own, while the consti
tution of the alliance entitles him to serve
two full terms. This probably means that
CoL Livingston will officiate during the
next year or two in the double capacity of
the president of the state farmers’ alliance
and representative in congress for the Fifth
district.

they can secure cheap homes, enjoy good
health in a delightful climate, and the best
social, religious and educational facilities;
and, with soils, seasons and a range of agri
cultural and horticultural productions al
most infinite in variety, establish themselves
in profitable industry at slight expense and
in an incredibly short time—free from the

THE PRESIDENT’S LOT.
Ground That Belongs to All the Presi
dents in Turn—Things in Wooster.
From the Stic York Sun.
Wooster, 0., July 24.—This town—
which, however, is a city of the second class
—is probably unique teyond any other
town in the country from the fact that
since Mr. Madison, every President of the
United States has been, and Benjamin
Harrison now is, a property holder within
its limits. Probably, however, Mr. Harri
son is as ignorant of the fact as his prede
cessors were except Mr. Madison, who was
duly informed od the subject. Shortly after
tbe town was laid out, and in Mr. Madison’s
first terra, Joseph H. Lataill, one of its
founders and proprietors, deeded one of its
then largest and most eligible lots to James
Madison and after him to the incumbents of
the presidential office successively. But as
neither Mr. Madison nor any other of the
occupants of the presidency ever did any
thing about the lot, it was first used as a
graveyard and now by the town for town
purposes. Wooster is’a fine little city. It
contains one daily and four weekly news
papers. A prosperous Presbyterian col
lege is located here. It is the
home of ex-United States District
Judge Walker. and| was the home of the
late John Mc.Sweeny—probably tbe leading
lawyer in the state at the tin e of his death.
It was the home, also, of Oscar Sillimau,
who married a sister of Gen. Lewis Cass,
and with his wife lies in tbe cemetery here.
Gen. Samuel R. Curtis lived here at one
time, as did also God. David E. Stanley.
CoL John Sloano, United States Treasurer
under Mr. Fillmore, lived here, and Gen. T.
T. Eckert, formerly Assistant Secretary of
War and now general manager of tbe West
ern Union Telegraph Company, passed his
boyhood in this town, and so, too. did Sam
uel H. Kauffmann, of the Washington
Evening Star , andJJohn H. Oberly of the
Washington Critic , and late commissioner
of Indiau affairs. Senator Allison of lowa
lived here when a young man. Thau there
was a storm here lately which the citizens
talk about with a good deal of pride. It
came suddenly in the afternoon; it mani
fested itself in a huge and frightful cloud,
so black and extensive that it made the
town dark as at midnight, and so scared
raauy people that they abandoned their
houses and ran into the streets. Fortunately
it did very little damage.
But Wooster has another distinction at
this particular time, which is that it is lo
cated in a congress district about to become
the scene of a hot contest between the two
great political parties. The district is that
in which, under a late redistribution, lives
William McKinley, father, at least putative
father, ot the McKinley taritf bill. The
district has the happiness of having two
live and active ongressmen within its bor
ders at the same moment, Luther M.
Smyser being the other one. It seems
to be agreed, however, on all hands
that although Smyser is a candidate for re
nornination, and has done well in his office,
McKinley will be the candidate. Lf that
proves to be the case, tbe canvass in the dis
trict will be one of great interest to tbe
whole country, since every inch of the
ground will bo contested, with the result
uncertain; while, if any other than Mc-
Kinley is nominated, a democratic victory
seems to be conceded. I say this, not upon
my own judgment, but upon that of well
informed men of both parties.
I had some talk this morning with the
Hon. John Zimmerman, democratic state
senator from the Wayne district, who lives
in Wooster, and who conducts the largest
drug business i:i this part of the state. Sen
ator Zimmerman is a man of large practical
experience in local and state polities; at one
time leader of his party here, and an effi
cient leader, too, 6inc it was under his
administration that the county whs rescued
permanently from the republican con
trol obtained during the war. He was
a candidate for |Jthe democratic con
gressional nomination against McKinley,
but oounty lines prevailed, and ex-Lieut.-
Gov. Warwick, of Stark, was selected;
partly, also, no doubt, because he is a resi
dent of the same county with McKinley, is a
man of ample means, who is a large em
ployer of labor, and said to be popular be
yond his party among the people in his
neighborhood.
Senator Zimmerman said that Warwick
would be elected, although admitting that
Stark county was an uncertain quantity in
thecanvass. The county, he said, while it
ought to be reliably democratic, is debat
able ground, and what Stark will actually
do can only be told when the votes are
counted. David R. Paige carried it against
McKinley by seme 300 or 400 votes, but Mc-
Kinley oari led it against Gen. Wiley by
approximating to 2,000 votes. This shows a
wide range, and that the republicans will
make there a powerful and extraordi
t ary effort, the senator said, was
certain; moreover, the republican national
committee will spend money for McKinley,
while tlie democratic national committee is
too poor to spend money lor Warwick.
Senator Zimmerman alleged this with the
most perfect gravity. Ho said that ip 1884
many of the republican leaders came into
the district to aid McKinley—among others
Mr. Blaine and Gen. Logan—and he expects
that a like appearance will take place this
fall. The family of McKinley will perhaps
have some inttue ce; and local pride in a
man of McKinley’s standing in c ingress
will help him. On the other hand,
the senator said that the majorities in
Medina, Wayne at'd Holmes counties are
pretty well fixed. Medina gives about I,uuo
republican, and Holmes about 2,000 demo
cratic majority. Wayne last year gave
Campbell 9JO over Foraker, but no one ex
pects more than 500 for Warwick. Most of
the members of the farmers’alliance—which
has many branches in the district, six or
seven of which are in Wayne (there are
about 250 in the state) —being advanced
tariff reformers and who don’t much like
the lawyers, are expected to vote for War
wick. Asa matter of fact, said Mr. Zim
merman, tho McKinley bill will not help-
Mr. McKinley in this district, as is
proved by the popularity of Mr. Blaine’s
views even among republicans. There
is an T extreme business depression; Mr.
Zimmerman described it as being "unparal
leled,” which no tariff legislation • can
remedy, a fact which, he said, the people
were finding out, although ho disclaimed
that the democrats of the district are for
free trade, but they do want tariff reform.
Rutting all together, Mr. Zimmerman
said he expected the election of Gov.
Warwick by a good majority, while ad
mitting, however, that McKinley is a
candidate formidable in resources,
physical and otherwise, whose pres
ence in the field will require tho
democracy to put forlh all their strength.
The Duke of Wellington said that the
presence of Napoleon at a battle was worth
40,000 men; and there appears to be a feel
ing among the democrats here that tbe
presence of McKinley, who is saidjto look like
Napoleon, is worth a good many votes by
itself. It is doubtless true, indeed, that,
despite the fact that the district contains au
appaieut democratic majority of 2,500,
there is more or less democratic apprehen
sion that by some sort of generalship or
hocus-pocus McKinley may tie elected. The
last eleven lines are mine, and not Senator
Zimmerman’s.
Concerning national polities there is here
no dominating sentiment among democrats
for any particular presidential candidate;
but tbere is a very pronounced conviction
that no one can bo nominated who does not
command tbe practically unanimous sup
port of New York in the national conven
tion. There are Hill men here, and Senator
Zimmerman said thnt tbere is a go and deal
of warm feoling for Hill among some of the
leading democrats. But the feet is that
there is hojie of re-electing Got i ampbell
next year. If that should happen, which
d< es not at this moment seem verv proba
ble but who knows?—the united democrats
of Ohio will press him with enthusiasm.
Everything come* to him who wait*.
