TILLMAN HITS_A TARTAR.
A Sumter County Farmer Tries to
Whip the Governor.
Men in the Crowd Pull Him Back Be
fore He Can Climb on to the Stand to
Get at the Chief Magistrate—A Sen
sational Incident at Lancaster in
Which Supt. Mcßee Figured and Was
Applauded.
Charleston, S. C., June 23.—The cam*
paign meeting at Sumter to-day was
without special incident. Senator Butler
made a general and mild toned speech,
while Gov. Tillman again was on the de
fensive and undertook to reply to the
charges made by Gen. Butler. Gov. Till
man has, during his previous campaigns,
resorted to hand primaries to test the
strength of the crowds. To-day he made
anew use of that custom. He had the
crowd to indorse, in that way, the attack
he had made upon Gen. Butler, the lan
guage he had used about there being a
corruption fund, the reopening of the dis
pensary, and almost everything on which
he wanted support.
At one time during the meeting it looked
squally. A farmer in the crowd asked
Gov. Tillman a question, and Gov. Till
man said that the fellow must be drunk.
This excited the farmer and he said that
he would whip Gov. Tillman if he would
come outside.
TUB ASSAULT REPEATED.
To this invitation Gov. Tillman replied
that it was peculiar on the part of the
man to ask him to stop his speech and go
out and fight with him, and that he must
be crazy or drunk.
Then the farmer made for the stand.
He caught hold of the railing, and in at
tempting to climb over, broko the strip of
board. By this time a number of men
caught the excited man around the arms
and carried him out of the crowd amidst
the most enthusiastic yelling.
Gov. Tillman charged Gen. Butler with
being followed around by two paid detec
tives of the Richmond and Danville road.
He said that he had no fear of being
killed, for whoever entertained such a
thought realized that if he fired a shot it
was only a question of a few seconds be
fore he would be a target for others.
He made a vigorous defense of the dis
pensary law and said that if the people
wanted it again that they could have it
as they were mightier than courts or con
stitutions. The crowd was for Gov.
Tillman, but was not over 800 strong, 200
being colored.
M’BEE CALI-* DOWN THE GOVERNOR.
Supt. Mcßeeof the Richmond and Dan
ville, one of the most popular railroad
men in the south, figured in the meeting
at Lancaster yesterday. During his
speeeh Gov. Tillman said: Col. Mcßee is
here, and I will repeat what I said about
his wife at Yorkville. I simply said that
his wife ought to leave him because he
had allowed me to go to sleep in his room
in his private car going to Washington
when President Cleveland was inaugu
rated. Turning to Col. Mcßee, he
stated that he had made this
remark in perfect good
and inquired if ho considered
it insulting. Col. Mcßee a'rose and said:
"This is a political campaign in which I
have no interest. 1 have not attended
these meetings and do not expect to at
tend them, except where I may have some
business, and Gov. Tillman, I say to you
now that so far as Mrs. Mcßee’s name is
concerned, you must keep it out of this
campaign."
Col. Mcßee uttered these words in a
determined manner and with emphasis,
and he raised a torrent of applause. Gov.
Tillman started to say something, but
Col. Mcßee told him he did not want any
explanation. The governor, however,
said: "I will discuss you some yet.”
Gov. Tillman then said all right if Col.
Mcßee considered he had used his (Mc-
Bee's) wife’s name unwarrantably he
would apologize for it. He went on to
say something about Gen. Butler having
made reference to his wife, and Gen.
Butler immediately replied: “I apologize
for that.”
CRISP IN THE CHAIR.
A Ripple of Applause as a Greeting
on His Reappearance.
Washington, June 33. Speaker Crisp
resumed his duties to-day, and as he
rapped the House to order a ripple of ap
plause swept over the floor at his re-ap
pearance. He showed traces of the
effects of his recent indisposition in both
his appearance and manner.
The report of the committee on elections
in the case of the contest of Watson vs.
Black, in favor of Mr. Black, was make
to the House by Mr. [.ester of Georgia,
and placed on the calendar.
The remainder of the day’s session was
devoted to the consideration of the gen
eral deficiency bill for the current year.
No amendments of importance were
made.
The Senate amendments to the House
bill incorporating the grand lodge of the
Knights of Pythias were agreed to, and
the measure now goes to the President
for his signature.
The Ho.use then adjourned.

TAB AND FEATHERS.
Colorado’s Adjutant General the Vic
tim of an Outrage.
Colorado Springs, Col., June 28.
Shortly after midnight Adjt. Gen.
Tarsney of the Colorado state national
guard was called from his room at the
Alamo hotel, and informed that some
body at Cripple Creek wished to speak to
him over the telephone. When he ap
peared to answer the call he was con
fronted by a masked man armed with re
volvers, who requested him to accompany
him. Adjt. Gen. Tarsney called for help,
but was quickly clubbed into submission.
Several more kidnappers appeared and
carried him to the sidewalk, where two
carriages under guard were in waiting.
He was forced into one of the carriages,
and both carriages were then driven at a
rapid rate to Austin Bluffs. Adjt. Gen:
Tarsney was removed from the carriage,
stripped nude, and a coat of tar and
feathers quickly administered. After the
tar and feathering, Adjt. Gen. Tarsney
was warned agaiust returning to the
Springs.
THE GOVERNOR OFFERS A BIG REWARD.
Denver, Col., June 23.—Gov. Waite is
greatly excited over the outrage com
mitted upon Adit. Gen. Tarsney, and has
offered a reward of fI,OOO for the arrest
and conviction of any of the participants.
Gen. Tarsney is a brother of Congress
man Tarsney of Missouri and ex-Con
gressman Tarsney of Michigan. He was
the personal representative of the gover
nor during the police board troubles when
the militia were opposite the City hall.
His undaunted bearing at that time
antagonized the police and their sympa
thizers, and it was freely stated that if
shooting commenced ho would be the first
man to fall.
CENSORSHIP OF THE PRESS.
Judge Clark Enjoins the Publication
of a Set of Resolutions.
Atlanta, Ga., June 33. —Judge Richard
H. Clark, of the Stone Mountain circuit,
has established the precedent of exer
cising a censorship of the press in his dis
trict. Several days ago he enjoined the
Decatur Record from publishing a set of
resolutions passed at a public meeting of
citizens of Lithonia, and his act has
stirred up a regular sensation. The
troubles grew out of the election of W.
J. Milner as professor of the
Lithonia Institute against the wishes
of the people of the town. A public meet
ing was held, and resolutions denouncing
the board of trustees of the institute and
calling upon Milner to resign were
passed. The resolutions were given to
the Decatur Record for publication.
They were in type and ready for use on
Tuesday last, the day that the paper reg
ularly appears, when Editor White was
servod with injunction papers prohibiting
any mentiou of the resolutions, or
their contents until June 30,
when the matter was set for a
hearing in the Fulton county court
house. The process resulted from a pe
tition presented to Judge Clark by MU
ner. who declared that he had been ma
liciously and determinedly attacked by
certain citizens in Lithonia, who wished
his election defeated through selfish de
signs, and any publicity given them in the
press would do irreparable damage to
him financially and in reputation, as well
as injure the cause of education in Lith
onia. This judicial interposition brings
up the question of how far the assistance
of courts may be invoked by people fear
ing an exposure of some rascality, or who
honestly claim to be not guilty of alleged
misdoing.
TURNER DOMING TO ATLANTA.
The Congressman Aocepts the Invita
tion to Speak.
Atlanta, Ga., June 33.—Hon. Henry G.
Turner will address the people of Atlanta,
by invitation, at the Grand opera house
on Saturday June 30. A few days ago
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce at a
called meeting extended an invitation to
Congressman Turner to visit Atlanta
and speak to the people on the
issues of the day. This morning
Stewart F. Woodson, president of the
chamber of commerce, received a tele
gram from him accepting, and sotting the
30th as the date of his speech. The dis
tinguished statesman will be given an en
thusiastic welcome when he visits the
capital of the state which he has so
highly honored in congressional halls.
Congressman Turner's reception in At
lanta will be nothing less than an ovation.
LAND BOOMERS MISSING.

St. Augustine, Fla., Jnne 23.—The com
mittee appointed by the Business Men’s
Club of White City, the Scandinavian
colony on the east coast Of Florida, report

clear titles, and advances everything nec
essary excepting the money lost through
Jose and Meyer. The colony is better off.
Chicago is the headquarters for the Cos
mopolitan Land Company.
CAST THEIR DAUGHTER OFF.
Mrs. Streator Sticks to Her Husband

Atlanta, Ga., June 33.—John T. Adair,
father of Mrs. Walter Streator, the
14-year bride who has been figuring as
one of the principals in a romantic mar
riage hero this week, returned from
Myrtle, Houston county, to-day. The
young wife, who has been at Myrtle
several days with relatives to keep her
separated from her husband, refused to

SAVANNAH, GA„ SUN DAY. JUNE 24, ISSN.
A CRISIS IN PARLIAMENT.
Liberals in Danger of Defeat on the
Spirit and Beer Clauses.
i
Instead of Resigning, However) the
Leaders Will Drop the Defeated
Glauses and Increase the Inoome
Tax Proposals No Terms to Wind
Up the Session Arranged by Sir Har
court -Sir Harcourt to Resign the
Leadership at the Close of the
Seseion.
London, June 33.—The last critical de
bate of the present sessioncof parliament
will take place next Tuesday, when the
spirit and beer duty clauses of the budget
come up for discussion. The event is
deemed so very important that the con
servative whips refuse to accept any pairs
and insist that the members of the party
shall be present in full force. The mem
bers of the ministerial party, Including
the ministers themselves, are very
uneasy in regard to the result of
the division owing to the feeling
of disaffection which pervades the ranks
of the republicans of the trade interests
in the House of Commons, and the almost
certain defection of those belonging to the
Liberal party whose business interests
are at stake. In a division on the clauses
the government majority threatens to
dwindle to five. The opposition do not
expect absolutely to defeat tho ministry,
but rather aim to reduce their majority
to the minimum. Even if the government
should be defeated, however, it would not
imply resignation on their part. The beer
and spirit clauses could be dropped, and
an increase made in the income tax pro
posals sufficient to cover the deficit, and
in the event of their defeat this will prob
ably be done.
NO TRUCE ARRANGED.
The persistent rumors that Sir William
Harcourt has arranged with the leaders
of the opposition to wind up the session
on certain terms are the veriest nonsense.
Sir William retains the most perfect free
dom of action and never permits himself
to show his whole hand. All sides are be
ginning to recognize the fact that he is a
far more skillfull tactician than anybody
supposed he was, and he does not submit
to be guided by the Grand Old Man either.
Besides passing a most momentous
budget, Sir William Harcourt is' now
likely to succeed in getting the resigna
tion and tenants bills through by the
close of the session. His retirement from
the leadership of the House of Commons
at the end of the session is absolutely
definite. The cause of his withdrawal is
not poor health, for he looks as vigorous
as a man of 40, and his eyesight, which
has been bad, has of late improved
greatly. There are numberless conflicting
rumors as to his reasons for determin
ing to retire, but the most probable is
that he has become dissatisfied with his
colleagues. He wants supreme control,
and his imperious and ofttimes brusque
manners have frequently wounded the
feelings of his associates who assumed
to advise him. He desires a dissolution
of parliament immediately after the pass
age of the budget and the registration bill.
His intimates assert he Is resolved to
bring about a dissolution in accordance
with his wishes, and declare that his in
tention to retire will be carried out if his
colleagues do not agree to a dissolution in
the autumn.
M’CARTHTITES SHORT OF FUNDS.
The McCarthyites, on the other hand,
are endeavoring to stave off a dissolution
until their funds are in better shape.
The report that £IB,OOO had been realized
as a campaign fund is untrue. The total
amount on hand yesterday was only £3.-
500, and this sum included the £I,OOO re
ceived from Chicago. Ireland treats the
appeals of the Irish parliamentarians
with indifference, and the bulk of the
money they get must come from some
other source.
The resolutions passed by the anti-lords
conference at Leeds have created any
amount of excited discussion in the
lobbies. A leading tory peer said last
night that the liberals were mistaken if
they supposed . the upper house would
accept a curtailment of their veto power.
They would rather be abolished than to
be put in straightjackets.
GIBRALTAR’S DEFENSES.
A large number of members of the
House of Commons of all parties have
held a conference with closed doors to de
bate the question of building docks and
extending the fort works at Gibraltar.
The result of the meeting was the an
poiutment of a committee to confer with
Lord Roseberry on the subject, the sense
of the meeting being that the defences
and facilities at Gibraltar ought to Do im
proved.
Edmund Robertson, M. P., for Dundee,
speaking to his constituents yesterday,
said that for the first time since British
occupancy of that stronghold, the gov
ernment had determined to build a dock
at Gibraltar.
The withdrawal of W. W. Howard from
the canoe contests, and especially from
the race for the challenge cup, on the
Thames, continues to be the topic of dis
cussion among canoeists. Mr. Howard is
regarded as having a good ground for
complaint against the winner of the chal
lenge cup, under the terms of agreement
for not meeting him in open water.
MONTE CARLO GAMBLINO.
gJThe anti-gambling league, after paying
its respects to the prime minister for his
connection with the turf, is turning its
attention to Monte Carlo, whither the
league is secretly sending delegates to
collect, data to be used against the game
and certain of its devotees. Meanwhile
the tables at that resort are flourishing
to a degree sufficient to induce the au
thorities of the Monte Carlo gaming
establishment to build a branch at La
Turbie, and an opposition company is
about to erect anew casino between Ia
Turbie and Monaco.
THE DUCHESS OF YORK A MOTHER.
The Duchess of York gave birth to a
boy at 0:55 o’clock this evening. At 10:30
o’clock dispatches concerning the Duchess
of York’s confinement began to pour into
Ixmdon. The Duchess’ labor began at
an early houp this morning. Telegrams
were sent at once to the Queen, the
Prince and Princess of Wales and to
Home Secretary Asquith, who was stay
ing at Losely Park with Henry White,
aw’aiting the call to represent
the government at White Lodge.
The Princess of Wales left London at
once, and the prince followed her a little
later. Mr. Asquith at once took the
special train which had been waiting
with the engine's steam up for more
than a week and within 45 minutes he
was at the house. The first nows of the
boy's birth reached her majesty before
!0 o'clock, or within five minutes after
the duchess was delivered. At the
Mansion House the news was announced
in a bulletin, which attracted a cheering
crowd. Huudredsof congratulations are
being received at White Lodge.
The Duchess is in excellent health. Her
mother, the Duchess of Tcek, is an assid
uous nurse, and has devoted most of her
time to her daughter's comfort since her
arrival at White Lodge. The queen and
the Princess of Wales have wired for in
formation as to her health aud condition
twice dally for the last fortnight.
VISIT OF TUB CZAROWITZ.
The visit of the ezarowitz to London,
has not created the furore in society that
might have been, and doubtless was ex
pected. Indeed, his presence has ex
cited no interest whatever. The czaro
witz is staying with Prince Louis of Bat
tenburg, and makes a formal call bvery
day upon his fiancee. Princess Alix. at
Windsor. The marriage of the czaro
witz and Princess Alix is definitely
fixed to take place in St. Petersburg on
Sept. 20. The czarowitz brought with
him, and presented to the queen, an auto
graph letter from the czar, urging her
majesty to attend the ceremony. The
queen has not yet decided whether she
will gOj but the court would not be sur
prised If she went.
OORBT TO DO THIS COUNTRY.
Sir John E. Gorst will start for Canada

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Eighty Welsh Miners Killed Out of
200 Caught In the Shaft.
Cardiff, Wales, June 38.—A dispatch
from Pont-y-Pridd, Glamorgan, says
that a terrible explosion oceupred this
afternoon in tho Albion colliery, near
that place. Two hundred miners were
buried beneath the debris.
It was 10 o’clock .to night before any
definite news could be got. Then it was
reported that a hundred men had been
killed. At 11:30oVlo(*k, however, the es
timate was reduced to eighty. The works
are so badly choked with wreckage that
the exploring is very slow. Aocurate re
ports cannot be had before probably to
morrow noon.
At 11:30 o’clock eighteen miners had
been brought up alive from the Albion
mines. Many dead bodies have been re
covered. -m

BLUEFIELDS STILL CALM.
The Policy of the British Government
Still in Doubt.
New Orleans, June S3.—The steamship
Prof. Morse has arrived from Blueflelds,
Nicaragua. Everything was quiet there
when the Morse left, and the long ex
pected move of England had not been
made. When the Magicienne visited
Greytown. on June 5, to bring Minister
Goslin down to Port Limon she steamed
to Kingston, Jamaica, for stores and
provisions. Before leaving Blueflelds
it was stated by the English officers that
the cruiser would remain in Kingston un
til definite orders were received from
their home government, and when she re
turned their position wduld have been de
finitely decided. The cruiser has now
been away two weeks and her arrival is
daily expected, but it a matter of guess
work to say what will be done when she
once more anchors here.
AUQUELLO’B ESCArE.
An interview between tho Ameriran
and Nicaraguan officials was held last
Monday, but as far as could be ascer
tained, was without result.
Lacayo was asked wbat he had done in
the way of capturing the escaped mur
derer, Arguello. and as an answer he ex
hibited a letter from Bocas Deltoro,
from the United States minister, iu which
it was claimed that the Spaniard had
taken refuge there. If this be true, Nica
ragua has no hopes of recovering the pris
oner, for there is no treaty between the
two govern in ents. Thus has come to an
end one of the most disgraceful incidents
iu the history of Nicaragua.
CARLISLE AT CAPE CHARLES.

A FORIV-TO-QNE-SHOT WINS
Key El Santa Anita Captures the
Chicago Derby.
The Traok and Weather Perfect for
the Raos—Senator Grady Finishes
Seoond and the Favorite Last—The
Victor Six Lengths Ahead of the
Seoond Horse, and Hla Time 8:36.
Chicago, June 23.—T0-day for the
fourth time since the American Derby
was inaugurated the black jacket, rod
Maltese cross, red sash and cap of
“Lucky” Baldwin were first under the
wire. His boy colt Key El Santa Anita.
40 to 1 in the betting, won the race by six
lengths in 2:3(5 fiat, equaling the best
time ever made in the race. Senator
Grady finished second and Domino, the
favorite in the betting, was absolutely
last.
The track and weather were perfect
for the race. Neither could have been
improved upon. During the early after
noon a gentle breeze blew from the south,
but not enough to interfere with the
race. When the horses went to the post
pot a bit of air was stiring. The sun was
hidden by heavy lead colored clouds and
the air was warm and sultry. It was
warm enough to enable a horse to do his
best and yet there was no sun.
A SHOWER IN SIGHT.
Before tho first race was called dark
clouds began to pile up in the west, and
heavy peals of thunder betokened an ap
proaching storm. Between 2:80 and 3:30
o’clock several smart dashes of rain came
down, but they were short lived nnd In
no way affected the track, or had any re
sult on the race, save to make a few bet
tors rush to put money on Key El
Santa Anita, who is a mud horse. Had
there been no promise of mud these bets
would never have gone on, as there were
very few who believed that Roy El Santa
Anita had any chance on a good track
against such horses at Senator Grady,
Domino and Dorian. The saddling bell
for the Derby rang at 3:45 o’clock and the
bugle calling the horses to tho post
sounded five minutes later.
ON PARADE.
Alcenor was first to appear, and was fol
lowed by Resplendent, both horses belug
cheered as they moved past the grand
stand. Despot, carrying tho green and
white colors of Edward Corriganjwas third
and Prince Carl, Orinda and Key El
Santa Anita left the paddock iti a bunch.
The horses paradod past the grand
stand in the order named,
Domino, Dorian and Senator Grady
coming down the stretch from the
stables and swinging into tho parade
from the rear. The three eastern horses
were cheered to the echo, the vast ma
jority of the public being on one of the
three to win. The horses cantered slowly
to the, starting post, where Starter Pet
tingill was awaiting them with grim
recollection of the trouble caused last
year by Taral and Garrison, who were
mainly responsible for a deal of nearly
two hours at the post.
THE START.
He warned them and the other Jockeys
that there must be no trifling, and after a
few attempts the flag fell to a good
start, all the horses being well bunched.
Domino was away first, with
Despot at his neck, Key El Santa Anita
third, and the others in a lump,
with the exception of Senator
Grady, who was off last, and
in a bad position. Alcenor wont out
to make the running, and at the quarter
was leading by a length, Domino second,
hulf a length in front of Prince Carl, Ke
plendant fourth, Orinda fifth, Key
El Santa Anita sixth, Dorian .sev
enth. Despot eighth and Grady last.
As the horses turned to come toward
tho grand stand they were ail bunched
close up against the rail, Domino, Dorian
and Grady being pocketed without an
earthly chance of getting through. As
they flew past the stand Resplendent col
lared Alcenor and led up by a length,
Prince Carl being third by a head.
GARRISON TAKES THE LEAD.
Garrison here got out of the pocket in
which he had been held, and piling Grady
to tho outside, sont him to fourth place.
Just before the three-quarters was
reached Garrison made a play which in
the opinion of many lost the race for him.
He saw a chance to get the lead, and
looming up on Senator Grady he sent
the brown son of Iroquois to the front
like a flash. Ho passed everything in
front of him as though they were stand
ing stilt, and then pulling over next to
the rail he kept the senator going as
though he meant to make a runaway race
of it. Taral, on Domino. Vaukuran on
Key El Santa Anita evidently held this
opinion for they at once cut loose and
went ■ after the Senator at a smash
ing pace. At the mile Grady was a
length and a half to the good, and going
like a scared dog. Key El Santa Anita
had come up with a rush from seventh
place at the three-quarter pole, and was
second a head in front of Alcenor, who
was hanging on gamely. Domino was
fourth, a half length in front of Resplend
ent, Prince Carl, Dorian, Desi>ot nnd
Orinda in the order named, the latter
tiring fast.
SANTA ANITA TAKES THE LEAD.
After leaving the mile post Vankuran
gave Key El Santa Anita his head and
the colt began rapidly to close on Senator
Grady. He was at his flank, then at his
head, and then began to draw away in a
manner that left uo doubt whatever, that
unless some horse in the bunch could run
past Senator Grady and catch the leader,
the Derby was over. At the mile
and a quarter he was still ahead
of Senator Grady and running
strongly. Prince Curl came up to
third place, and was a half length in
front of Domino, on whom Taral was
now making every effort. Because of the
great similarity in the colors worn by
Vankuran and Bergen on I’orian, tlib
crowd thought the latter had the race at
his mercy, aud loud and long
cheers of “Dorian, Dorian” went
up. But Dorian was in eighth
place and getting ready to make his run.
A* they turned into the stretch, Key ill
Santa Anita Kept his pace and opened up
daylight between himself and .Senator
Grady in a way that was heartbreaking
to those who had money on Grady and
Domino. He was full four lengths in the
lead and drawing away at every jump.
domino’s first defeat.
Taral called on Domino, and tho colt
resi'ouded gamely, but his time had
come, and the horse which hrd never yet
been beaten could do but iittlo toward
improving his position. Despot came up
with a rush, and passed Domino. Dorian
closed on him aud gained at
every stride. It was all up
with Domino, and Taral seeing
the fact piulled him up and galloped
slowly in. As the horses neared the wire
Rey El Santa Anita opened up six leugths
nnd had speed to spare. Grady was
coming hard, two lengths ahead of
Despot, who had ooine very’
fast through the stretch. Yaukuran
sat leisurely on his horse, with
his hands down, and now and then
turfling his head to watch Garrison and
Senator Grady. The Baldwin horse won
by six lengths, pulled up, and with speed
to throw away. Senator Grady, who
might have stood a better show of win
ning had Garrison saved him, was second
by two lengths, Garrison riding
for his life to stave off Des
pot, who was closing rapidly.
Prince Carl came fourth, four lengths be
hind Desftot. nnd tho rest were strung
out in the following order: Dorian Orinda,
Resplendent, Aloenor and Domino, i
THE CROWD BADLY FUOI.ED.
Even after the race was over many peo
ple supposed that Dorian was the victor,
and several attempts were made to cash
Dorian tickets. One man fainted when
he was told that his Dorian ticket was of
value only as a souvenir.
The victory of Key El Santa Anita was
not popular. Few people had money on
him, and the winter books reaped an aw
ful harvest.

EVANS OUT OF THE RACE.
Tbe General Issnes a Letter of
Withdrawal.
No Surprise treated at Atlanta bp
Hia Retirement—The General Agree*
to Taka the Stump for Mr. Atkin*
son—The General's Defeat a Sore
Disappointment for -Atlanta, but
Acoepte 1 in Good Spirit.
Atlanta, (la,, June 23.—Gen. Evans is
out in a letter retiring from the guberna
torlal race.
God. Evans' retirement did not create
any surprise here. It has been expected
for a week past. In fact, it was known by
his closest friends that he would publish
hia formal letter of withdrawal this
woek. Some of the general’s advisers,
however, did not want him to leave the
field, but to remain In until the
lust. While tho dofeat of Geo.
Evans is a sore disappointment to
Atlanta, the result is accepted by even
his most devoted friends in good spirit,
and since It became evident that the nom
ination would go to Mr. Atkinson, there
is now a feeling of relief that the contest
In tho party is ended. Gen. Evans' dec
laration that he will tako tbe stump for
Mr. Atkinson is iu lino with his general
high character and party fealty, and his
friends here will join him heartily la tho
fight against the third party.
• THE LETTER.
Following is the text of the letterol
withdrawal:
Atlanta. Oil, June 83, 1804.-To the Demo*
oratic Party la Georgia: This will announce
to you that 1 now resume my place iu the
ranks to continue, as heretofore, my active
service for the party, slate and country. The
same considerations of party unity which
prompted my candidacy at Itrst now Induce
me to withdraw, for 1 would not press my
personal preferment so as to Imperil the suo
cess of my puny.
With great gratification I observe the pop
ular majorities which have spoken on my be
half. and 1 desire to declare iuv gratitude to
all those who have thus unselfishly and earn
estly supported my cause During the publlo
discussions In all parts of the state for the
past three months 1 have endeavored to
speak worthily of the principley which I
maintain without provoking discord among
our people or tarnishing the honor of our
party ; and. now that the contest for the nom
ination Is elided, I tender my service without
reserve to the stato executive committee and
to the future campaign committee, to be
freely used in support of the parly and lta
nominees.
In this withdrawal of my aspirations to
the highest office In your gift I take with me
tho satisfaction of having borne myself both
as a true democrat and as a faithful son of
niv native state, nor have the misrepresenta
tions of my sentiments and acts, which were
made for campaign purposes, affected my
fealty to the party nor m.v purpose to be true
to myself. 1 may be permitted to counsel you
to preserve the hurmony, the principles god
the power of our party, not only in the ststo
but In the union. Our allegiance is due to the
nationul as well as the state Democratlo
party.
M.v views as published September, IMS,
urged earnestly the maintenance of our state
and national democratic unity upon the basis
of tho Chicago platform. I held then that
differences of opinions among democrats
should not cause personal und bitter criti
cisms of those of our loaders upon whom had
been Imposed the responsibilities of office,
nor produce factional divisions in democratlo
ranks In all speeches made since that time
l have consistently held to the same counsel.
Referring to my Interview of 1893, I beg leave
to repeat Its advice In regard to the unwisdom
of assailing the entire democratic congress
and the national administration In thoss
faultfinding terms of Impatient dissent
which may be expected of the foes of
democracy, but cannot with propriety be em
ployed by Its loyal friends. Whatever may
be the dissatisfaction with tbe course of
events since the party came Into power, it Is
certainly true that taken as a whole, the
national administration Is democratic and
our Georgia Congressmen are true democrats.
We can, therefore well tenvethe condemna
tion to the foes of the party, and, laying aside
personal antipathies, as well as factional an
tagonism, we can und must agree with each
other on our platform of principles and m
loyal support of the leaders of our party.
We can confide 'ln the Integrity of purpose
on the part of the national administration
that all those great principles of financial re
lief and civil reform clearly set forth In the
Chicago platform, and pivoted on reform In
our system of custom house taxation should
have force and effect 1q the laws to be
enacted by congress, and In the conduct!
of every department of government." Such
is the language of a vote of confidence, re
cently given by a county democratic meeting,
that every democrat may cast.
Upon our fidelity to our principle!, our
patriotic devotion to our country, and our
party unity depend tho success of our
national party. Our state affairs demand our
equal attention upon the same grounds. Be
lieving that we will have a victory, both
state and national, 1 am ut your service.
Clement A. Evans.
POPULISTS AT GRIFFIN.
They Rally From Five Counties to
Hear Watson and Hines.
Griffin, Gsi, June 28.—T0-day a crowd,
numbering about 700, from Henry, Butts,
Pike, Meriwether and Spalding counties
came to the city to hear Judge Hines and
Tom Watson. Judge Hines, the populist
candidate fop governor, was introduced
first by ex-Representative Barrett of Pika
county, agid be proceeded to make wbat
was considered a tamo speech. He re
peated the old financial story that is now
stale, aud proceeded to array class
against class, it cannot be denied
that those Who had never
heard Judge Hines were disap
pointed. Tom "Watson arose without in
troduction, amid prolonged applause. He
is a fluent speaker, and nsido from the
fact that he tries to appeal to the preju
dices of the jieople, bis arguments are in
the main fair. Every one must condemn,
however, one of his appeals that he made
for tho negro vote for the populists. He
was bitter in a certain -sense against the
democrats, but at the same time claimed
that the populists were true Jeffersonian
exponents of the democracy. He was
frequently interrupted with ronnds of ap
plause. .
