FOR GOVERNOR:
ALLEN D. CANDLER, of Ha!!.
FOR CONGRESS, 9th District.,
HOWARD THOMPSON, of Hal!
And now abideth avarice, an¬
archy, apathy, these three evils:
but the greatest of these is apathy.

Gov. Griggs of New Jersey has
been nominated by the President to
succeed Attorney General McKen¬
na, as Attorney General of the
United States. Mr. McKenna goes
to the United States Supreme
Court.
The Battleship Maine of the Uni¬
ted States Navy has pone to I lav-
anna to take care of Uncle Sam’s
interests. We hope to see the whole
South Atlantic squadron in that
port shortly and the Spaniards driv-
en from the island. If there is any
annexation to be done, why not
annex Cuba ?
Ex-Consul Jim Dobbs, of Ma¬
rietta, has returned home after an
absence of four or five years
as consul at Valparaiso, Chili. lie
returned home by way of Hiawaii,
and says the better class of Ilia-
waiian’s want their islands annex¬
ed to the United States, and he is
of the opinion it should be done.
In an interview, Congressman
Tate of the Ninth said : “The an¬
nouncement of Col. Candler is char¬
acteristic of the man—a clear, can¬
did statement of his position, and
what is better, it is democratic to
the core, and he means every word
he says. It has the ring of an old-
fashioned democrat who has never
bolted a democratic nomination,
but who has always fought for the
principles of his party and support¬
ed its nominees.”
Col. A. D. Candler has given out
his letter announcing his candida¬
cy for governor of Georgia. It is
the best state paper we have ever
seen, and is a plitform in itself,
Upon which every democrat in the
state can place both feet without
equivocation. Candler is the man
of the hour, and Georgia will once
more be blessed with a democratic
governor, whose political stripes
have never changed, and a man
who is loved by his people for his
principle and devotion to duty dis¬
played all through life, whether
public or private. Candler is surely
one of nature’s noblemen !
Prince of Arkansas, says he did
not know that an ordinary had
more power than tlie President of
the United States until he came to
Georgia. He must learn that the
county ordinary ha, extraordinary
power in this county and -state.
Hill is king of Habersham.—Mt.
Airy Protectionist.
The Protectionist is wrong—the
people of Habersham county is the
king,—though Mr. Hill lias arro¬
gated and assumed powers not hi
own. he will find, probably, that he
is a servant of thy people of Haber¬
sham county, and not the people
servants of his august majesty .
Judge Hill, ordinary of Habersham
county, state Georgia. Selah!
The Call makes no attack upon
Colonel Terrell’s record, but it ven-
tures the opinion that his associa-
tion with the Newnan possum sup-
per and “that ring that controls’’
has done him harm in every section
of the state.
The Atkinson political ring of
Georgia has been smashed, never
again to be resurrected, and no man
can handle the fragments even and
come out with clean hands.
The Democratic party of the
state will be in the saddle from now
on, and don’t you forget it, and
the party will not seek to save or
redeem any of the old ringsters be-
cause they want office. There “are
others” who never entered the com-
bine, that are worthy and true and
none more so than Col. Candler
-Griffin Call.
Petitionsof Hie Moneyed Cliques
to Congress — VV hat Shall The
Answer Be?
From the American.
T up MUAL > rrrx^irx'rr 1 bo r\ interest • pe-
tition Congress with much
earnestness, or rather com-
mand Congress with much insis-
tence, to enact legislation that will
more linnlv commit our country to
the gold standard, that will pledge
the government to pay all its obli-
gat ions in gold, and declare any
other payment would be in deroga-
tion of "the rights of the public
’="*«*>">• For the government to
tender silver in payment 17 of its debts
would be, t hey declare, an act of
an act that
tarnish the national honor. Ard
the executive officers of the govern-
ment act upon such assumption,and
to keep the national honor above
reproach hold the United States
bound to pay all its obligations in
gold, that though it has the legal
right to pay in silver, that though
payment in either gold or silver is
nominated in its bonds, silver has
so depreciated that it would be a
virtual act of repudiation to use it
And yet it is gold that has ap-
preciated rather than silver that
lias depreciated, and to force the
people of the United States to pay
the debts of their government in
apprediated gold is an act of injus¬
tice. Payment in silver would not
be in derogation of the rights of the
public creditors, payment in gold is
i ,n derogation of the rights of the
people of tiie I nited States. To
require payment in two hundred
.cent dollars is just as much indero-
g^Fon of the rights of the people
who pay the taxes as payment in
fifty cent dollars would be in dero-
gation of the rights of the creditors
of the government who receive the
interest. And the United States is
now paying two hundred cent dol-
lars, paying dollars worth twice as
much as dollars were worth when
the major part of our national debt
was refunded.
Moreover we are told that to keep
the national honor untarnished we
must continue to pay in these dol¬
lars, must in the name of honor and
justice do injustice to our producing
classes that the public creditors may
enjoy unearned gains. What U
more, payment in silver dollars
would not be payment in fifty cent
dollars. Linder free silver coinage
we would not, could not have fifty
.cent dollars any more than we have
or can have now, tor a dollar can
not be worth less than itself. The
cent is the hundredth part ot the
dollar and fifty hundredths cannot
make a whole.
But it is said that under free si 1-
ver coinage the gold price of silver
bullion would not rise, that as a
consequence the silver dollars coin¬
ed would be worth but fifty cents
in gold. And to pay our obliga¬
tions in such dollars, it is asserted,
would be an act of repudiation, a
wrong, an injustice to our public
creditors. But grant that free
coinage would net raise tbe gold
price oi sihei,that thesiher UOi_
lar would be worth indeed 100 cents
in silver but only half as much as
the gold dollar. Grant all this,and
the payment of our obligations in
these dollars would not be in dero-
gation of the rights of our public
creditors, would not do them injus-
tice in anything like the degree
that injustice, wrong is now done

question in a moment, show that
we are giving our public creditors
nearly twice-the value they are en¬
titled to, that they would get little
less value than they have a right to
if payed in dollars worth but half
asmuchas ,he gold dollars
paid them.
But first, let us say a few words
as to the obligations of the national
government. Two-thirds of our
bonded debt, originally a war debt ’
was refunded in the years 1S75-79.
When it was refunded the bond-
holders were clearly given to under-
stand that they were taking bonds
payable in either gold or silver at
the option of the government. On
this point they could have had no
question, for Congress left no room
for doubt. It not only decisively
refused to authorize the refunding
of this debt into gold bonds as
recommended by Mr. Sherman,
then Secretary of the Treasury, but
passed a resolution specifically an-
noui.cing to all the public creditors
that the right to pay them in silver
or gold at the option of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury was reserved
to the government.
To be particular , tin.
more or,
point, the act of July 14, 1870,
under which all our outstanding
bonds were issued, made such
bonds payable in coin of the then
standard value, , that , is, . gold , , coin .
containing -3.22 grains of fine gold
f or each dollar of value and silver
dollars containing 371J grains of
fine s her. The coinage of the sil-
ver dollar was suspended in ,873
and dropped from the list of stan-
dard coins tobe restored by the
Bland act of 1878. But of tins omis-
-ion Mr. Sherman, as Secretary of
the Treasury, sought to avail. He
sought to find in this omission am
thority * to issue gold bonds. To
this end he wrote the Attorney
General, April 2., 1877, as
lows :
“It may be important to the pub
be interest to make the new bonds
payable in gold coin. Can I stipu-
late in the body of the 4 per cent,
bonds to be issued that they shall
be redeemable in coin of the present
standard value, that is,the standard
value at the date of their issue, or
must it be the date of the law?”
1 r,,, he A ... ttorney General ,. , promptly .1
answered “It must be the date
of the Act,” that the Secretary of
the Treasury could not issue bonds
specifically payable in gold. Then
Mr. Sherman appealed to Congress.
In his annul report to Congress,
December 3, 1877, he recommend¬
ed : ~i
.. That an express exception shall
be made requiring that gold coin
alone shall be paid for principal and
interest on bonds issued to the public
creditors since February 12,1873,the
amount of which is
Congress not only refused to com¬
ply but responded on January 29,
1878, by adopting the following
resolution, introduced by Senator
Stanley Matthews, Republican,
from Ohio :
(& Resolved, That all of the bonds
of tbe United States, issued or au-
thorized to be issued . . . are
payable, principal and interest, at
the option of the United States, in
silver dollars of the coinage of the
United States, containing 4124-
grains each of standard silver, and
that to restore to its coinage sudh
silver coins as a legal tender in
payment of said bonds, principal
a nd interest, is not in violation of
the public faith nor in derogatio c
of the rights of the public creditors, -
This resolution passed the Senate
by a vote of 43 to 22, the House by
a V ote of 189 to 79. So we see
that no man could have bought any
United States bonds in 1879 under
the apprehension that they were
specifically payable in gold. To
pay them in silver would be full
payment as nominated in the bonds
themselves, which bear the words
“payable in coin,” written across
their face.
But it is said such payment would
amount to a virtual repudiation,
because of the depreciation of sil-
ver. On the contrary, not to so
pay them, to pay them in the pres¬
ent appreciated gold coin is the
grossest of wrongs to our produc-
classes. This will be made
clear bv these facts. In 1879 it
would have taken the product of a
farm of 84 acres planted equally
with wheat, corn and oates to have
paid a $1,000 bond. In 1896 it
would have taken the whole pro¬
duct of a f irm of 1514 acres. In
1S79 it "'ould have taken the pro-
bict 0 f % cotton plantation of "2
cres , 1 J $ ^ bond •„ l8 -
he whok product of a plantation
1GO acres . Clearly the public
creditor is getting for each $1,000
paid to him the product of 67T acres
of cereals more than he is entitled
to, or the product of 48 more acres
of cotton than he has a right to.
And just as clearly if the public
creditors should be paid in “fiftv-
dollars,” that is silver dollars
worth fiftv cents in gold,they would,
if paid in the products of , he farm>
get for each $1,000 the product of
Sj acres less than they are entitled
to of right; if paid in the product
of the plantation, the product of
two acres less.
And in view of these facts would
payment in silver, even granting
siiver should not rise in value with
the reopening of our mints, be as
muc h in derogation of the rights of
p ubbc cre Jitors as the present pay-
ment in gold is in derogation of
the rights of farmer and planter as
tax payers? Obviously it would
not. The injustice done to the
farmer by the present payment in
appreciated gold is eight times that
which would be done to the public
cred ; tor bv payment in fiftv cent
silTer doll'ars, the injustice done to
the planter twenty-four times great-
er . Yet we are told that to pay
our obligations in other coin than
gold Would be a blotch on our
national honor! To pay them in
gold to the exclusion of silver is
rather a blotch on our common
sense. It , .
is moreover a payment
that is in derogation of the ‘rights
of our producing 1 classes a ® cs
® * *
What then should the answer of
Congress be to those despoilers of
the nation’s purse who demand
that all our obligations should be
made specifically payable in gold?
It should answer the petitions by
repassing these Stanley Matthews
resolution. Such resolution Senator
Teller has introduced. It is the
proper answer for Congress & to make
to the demands of the moneyed
oligarchy. The demands are ‘in-
equitable, have no regard for the
rights of our producing classes,
The question is simply : Shall Con-
gress answer in the interest of the
j moneyed cliques or the interest of
j the the people people. it If in best the interest of
can answer by
j repassing the Stanley Matthews
'
resolution.

a good neighbor, and a true friend,
and as a lawyer he stands among
the best in the district in point of
ability. TTi He lias t been . true t to
every
trust reposed in him, whether as a
private citizen or as a conservator
of the law. He is . in . close touch
with tbe yeomary, having come up
from that mainstay J of the republic, 1
the common people.
Mr. Thompson is a man of excel¬
lent address and fine presence. He
has convictions and stands by them.
He has courage, is a leader of men,
and not a follower. He is a man
who can do us good in Congress and
a man of whom vva will be proud.
And we expect to see him nomina¬
ted by a handsome majority.

During the summer of 1888,
when the yellow fever was decima-1
ting the population of Florida, and j
spreading consternation among
the cities of northen Alabama, j
it dealt death daily, and in
when Brun8wick W as devas-
tllt ed by this dread disease, north
Georgia opened her generous arms
to receive the fear stricken refu-
gees, even though the yellow
scourge had already attacked them.
The terrified fugitives came by
thousands, came with fever fires
consuming them; came with the
touch of death upon their sallow
faces: came almost hopeless and
desparing—and breathing the pure
air of Georgia’s highlands
health and strength returned.
And northen Georgia did not suf-
fer for its generous welcome. The
fever did not spread. Xo new
cases were reported from contact
with the refugees, and those who
caught the infection before they
came, speedily recovered.
For more than two generations
this part of Habersham caunty has
been famed throughout the entire
South for its unsurpassed healthful-
ness.
