LIVINGSTON ON' THE RACK
REVIEW OF THE SCANDALS HERE
TOFORE PUBLISHED.
Tbe Georgia Alliance Monthly Goes
for Him in the Most Energetic Fash
lon-Some of the Charges Too Dis
gusting for Public Print —Col- Liv
ingston Denies All the Charges.
Atlanta, Ga., June 10. —The Georgia
Alliance Monthly, which came from the
press to-day, rakes President Livingston
over the coals in the most energetic fashion
possible. Tbe greater part of the scandals,
heretofore published against him are re
viewed. The article begins with a compar
ison of the mansion caucus with the capitol
caucus of 1888, when R. H. Jackson was
president of the alliance. The Monthly says:
‘•The mansion conference was nothing but a
coming together of alliancemen to talk
about some frightful things they had heard
about the Alliance Farmer and the presi
dent of the state allianoe and other officials,
and to see if these things were true; and if
so, to present them to the alliance. The
leaders and the organ knew the charges to
be brought against them and they went to
work to ‘pull the wool over the eyes’ of
alliancemen by deception and abuse. If
alliancemen only knew how utterly false
and untrue the Southern farmer has been
In its statements they never would again
believe it on oath.”
TWO CAUCUSES COMFARED.
The Monthly concludes that the two cau
cuses were alike, in that they were both
composed of about twenty-five members,
both included alliancemen only, both held
secretly, both were held to inquire into ru
mors and squash charges against the leaders
in the alliance with a view of getting rid of
those leaders if they were found unworthy,
both did not try anybody because they had
*lO jurisdiction, and both were called by
Secretary Burks. W. 8. Copeland is ao
cused of inconsistency, in that he in
dorsed the conference of 1888, yet
denounced the mansion cauous and
those who took part in it.
The reason for the extensive abuse of the
mansion cauous, says the Monthly, at the
bands of the Alliance Farmer, CoL Living
ston, Copeland and Daniel, is that they
knew that the conference would expose a
lot of corruption which none of them
wisned to face. The Monthly says: "We
have full knowledge of an immense amount
eJI corruption in the order and we have
determined in justice to give our columns
to its exposure. If we arraign the accused
before the executive committee the state
lecturer would be prosecuting officer.
How could Copeland properly repre
sent those whom he had been
denouncing“agaiust the parties for whom
be has been seeking indorsement all over
tbe state! A trial before the executive
committee with such a prosecuting officer
would be worse than a farce, as the commit
tee form nothing but a court to bear tbe
case as he would present it. We oannot
undertake to tell all we know in this issue,
but, at any rate, we will make a beginning.
Tbe charges are too numerous for the oom
jpasß of any ordinary article.;
NOT FIT FOB PUBLIC PRINT.
"Again, some of the charges are too dis
gusting for public print. Tbese we caunot
give until we are further forced in defense
of the conference and the order. It will,
doubtless, be enough for us to say that we
have on file documentary evidence, all
submitted by true alliancemen,
which, If true, shows a prominent
alliance official to be absolutely
without moral character.”
Continuing the Monthly quotes editorials
from the Atlanta Constitution —some
against CoL Livingston, accusing him of
selling out, and one protecting him from
the accusations of other papers and insist
ing that Gov. Northen, who has been quoted
as a witness to Col Livingston’s ugly be
havior, denied that the colonel was guilty.
The last of those editorials, the article
charges, was published on the authority of
a false statement made by Col. Livingston
to tbe managing editor.
STORY OK A DEAL.
This quotation is next given:
“Atlanta, April 1,1891.
“About Nov. 1, 1890, Mr. Daniel came to
me at the Kimball House and said to me
that R. J. Sledge and Dr. C. W. Macune
wanted to see me at the alliance head
quarters. I went over. I suspected that
something was wrong, because of a very
bitter article that had appeared against the
betterments claim in the last issue of the
Southern Alliance Farmer. Mr. Sledge,
Dr. Maoune and others were present.
Mr. Sledge and Dr. Macuue in
vited me out on the porch.
As we went out Dr. Macune said to me:
‘Saffel owns no stock in the paper. We are
responsible for what appeared in it. Harry
Brown is not. The article that is objection
able to your people 1 am responsible for,
but that is nothing. I am going to roast
you on one side and burn you on the other
Dr. Macune then turned and went back
into the house. R. J. Sledge then said to
me: ‘You are a big corporation,’ and you
can afford to come down handsomely.
You must pay me $10,000—15,000
cash and $6,000 when the legislature
adjourns—and you get what you want
This is an alliance legislature, and our
paper is the organ of the alliance, and we
control the legislature.’ ”
There is quite a good deal more in
this paper, and it is signed by a
representative of the old lessees of the
state road —a man of character and
respectability. He tells about propositions
made to other parties looking to money in
the sale of tbe influence of the organ. "The
rest of the Alliance Monthly's article is de
voted to repetition of the charge that Col.
Livingston offered to support the force bill
in exchange for Senator Quay’s support,
and that at the Ocala convention he en
deavored to prevent the convention from
expressing its disapproval of the same
measure.
ALLKDGED SALK OF A JUDGESHIP.
The conclusion is as follows: “If spaoe
permitted we would tell you something
about the sale of a judgeship for $lO cash
and S9O when you get what you want. In
order that there may be no question as to
the authority of the testimony submitted
above, we will say tuat the originals of the
evidence are on file, together with a good
deal more, and subject to the inspection
of the chairman of the executive
committee. In this connection it may be
in order to state that Gov. Northen did
not deny that CoL Livingston was guilty of
the charges preferred against him on ac
count of tbe celebrated Macon fair episode.
Furthermore, no such demand will be
forthcoming from the governor in the fu
ture.”
COL. LIVINGSTON DENIES THE CHARGES.
After the charges m the Alliance
Monthly had been submitted to him this
evening Col. Livingiton denounced the
whole business os a tissue of falsehoods.
AN ATLANTA SENSATION.
A Confederate Veteran Acknowl
edges BaillngJUnder False Colors.
Atlanta, Ga.. June 10. —There is a sen
sation here among tbe confederate veterans.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Chancellor Boggs Announces the
Honor Men in the Various Courses.
Athens, Ga., June 10. —In accordance
with an old law of the University of Geor
gia the members of the senior class assem
bled in the prayer room this morning to
hear the honors for the terra read out. The
old law heretofore on this proceeding was
made in 1855 and was worded very pecul
iarly.* It goes on to state that the class
must assemble at tbe prayer room at 10
o’clock on the morning after the faculty
meeting at which the class marks were
given in and "that the faculty shall be prop
erly dressed.” No restriction, it seems, was
made as to the attire of the graduates,
whether they hailed from the
base ball grounds or appeared
in the abbreviated costumes of the gymna
sium or in full evening dress. Every one
was properly dressed, however, this morn
ing, when Chancellor Boggs made the fol
lowing announcement:
The honor in the A. M. course is to be
awarded to Frank Harwell of West Point.

honor in|tbe A B. course, with the follow

morrow in the college library. This is their
regular summer session. A number of

by fire this morning. The fire started in the
rear portion at about 3 o’clock, and burned
rapidly. The blaze was seen for many miles
away, the illumination being so bright that

ing been given up by Philpot & Field re
cently. Tom and Walter Philpot and Jas.

and his wife were the only occupants. They
escaped without injury. Tbe hotel was
owned by James Watt, was a handsome new
structure, worth about )20.000, and insured
as follows: With Hausell & Merrill, agents,
TEtna 14,000, Hartford $3,000, Orient
$2,000, North British $2,000; with E. M.

John l. Hammond] ——
With hearts bowed down in grief we repord
the untimely death of our esteemed President,
John L. Hammons,
who departed this life at his residence, In this
oity, on the morning of June 6, 1891, in the 48th
year of his age. Mr. Hammond was elected
a Director in this Bank Dec. 1, 1880, Vice Presi
dent Jan. 10.1883. and President Jan. 11, 1888,
which latter position he held to the day of his
death.
He was a true man, of unswerving honor and
integrity, faithful in the performance of every
duty, and loyed and respected by all. His early
taking off will bring aorrow to many hearts
No words that we could write would express
the esteem in which he was held by us.
It is but a few brief days since he moved
among us. The noble, generous man, kind and
true friend, has passed away, and will be seen
no more on earth. We shall misa his beaming
face, pleasant smile and kindly voice, which
will long linger in our memories.
He was possessed of these attractive qualities
which endeared him to us, and while the life of
such a man will not permit an easy and quick
forgetfulness, yet It is meet that a permanent
record be made as a mute witness of our love
and esteem; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of President
John L Hammond this Bank has lost a valued,
faithful and devoted officer, and the members
o£ the Board of Directors have suffered a per
tonal bereavement.
That unitedly we extend our sympathies to
his bereaved and suffering family.
That a copy of these resolutions be engrossed
and furnished to his family; that they be pub
lished in the Morning Hews of this city, and
that the same be inscribed upon our minutes.
