From The Atlanta Constitution.
Toccoa, Ga., January 31.—The

dler club, one hundred strong. The
people of this section of the state
who have known Colonel Candler

an to the club , at an
early day. 1 occoa feels proud that
has the distinction of organizing
the first Candler club in the state.
The resolutions are as follows :
Whereas, the Hon. Allen D.
Candler, at the earnest solicitatioi
>f thousands of Georgians, has ai
10 unced his c.mdidancy far tin
governorship of Georgia. Therefore
oe it resolved—
First. That we. citizens of Toe-
:<>.» and Habersham county,in ordei
at we may do better and more
-tficient work in behalf of our
c osen leader, do hereby form our-
; selves into ar. organization to be
( known

j . of Toccoa.

TOCCOA, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 4, I898.
WE IRE mm IN THE FMT!
Russell, Mulky & Co
who holds honor and integrity in
both public and private life above
every other allegiance.
Third. That we honor him for
the unselfish and patriotic devotion
which has characterized his public
and private life, on the fields of bat¬
tle, in the halls of congress and as
a citizen of our grand old common¬
wealth. It was the same devotion
which actuated him in carrying on
high the democratic flag, placed in
his hands by the sturdy democracy
of this, the ninth congressional dis¬
trict, when he snatched from seem¬
ing certain defeat, a glorious vic¬
tory, there forever burying republi¬
canism in Georgia.
Fourth. That his career in the
legislative halls of the nation as
well as in the service of his native
state has proven him to be a man
of superior executive ability and no
less a servant of the people and
who fully realizes that a “public of¬
fice is a public trust” and who
knows no master save the people.
Fifth. That in him we find the
embodiment , „ of true democracy and
that under his leadership all Geor-
gians who love right and justice
and have at heart the welfare of
their countrymen may rally around
the flag and roll up in the coming
election the old-time democratic
majority.
Sixth. That in his election
Georgia will have a governor who
will be an honor to the high office
of chief executive and will give the
state an “economical, business ad-
ministration,” who will see that
there is not wanton expeditures of
the people’s morey, and who will
use every endeavor to proportion
taxation to the price of products
and labor.
Seventh. That in him we have
the ideal in clean politics and
zenry and an implacable enemy to
rings, cliques and trading politi¬
cians.
Eighth. That we tender to h]m >
the Hon. Allen D. Candler, a
cordial and urgent invitation toad-
dress this club and the voters
this section of the state at such time
is may be , convenient. .

A Live, Middle of the Road Pop.
We Must Decline.
The following letter was received
by the editor of The Record this
week :
Anniston, Ala., Feb. 1, 1898.—
Mr. W. A. Fowler Dear Sir on
making some effort to get a popu¬
list paper started in this Co we have
bin referd to you as a good man for
the buisness I think we could get
up a very good subscription if we
had a live middel of the road Pop
you will please submit us a proper-
sition if your are in position to come
we would want you at Jackson-
vill the Co. site thear is no paper
thare anniston is a hot bed of de-
moccracie the rest of the Co is prety
well divided yours very Respect¬
fully A. A. Ball anniston ala. -
We feel flattered that somebody,
at least thinks we are competent to
run a “live paper, but we feel sad
that after all of “our mighty effort”
in flabbergasti rhetoric , brim .
stone, soft soap, palavering and
cussin’ through The Record of
everybody and everything that was
and is not Democratic, that we
should be sought out as a good
“live Middle of the Road Pop,”
and asked to make the Populists of
Alabama a proposition to run a
paper for them—and edit it!
Now there’s nothing wrong in
running a paper for Populists for
the money that is in it, but when
it comes to editing a paper for
those who are trying to break down
all that is left of liberty in this
country, and sell our principles, we
must respectfully asJc«to be excused.
We are a Democrat—our prin¬
ciple is not for sale or hire.
At the same time we thank Mr.
Ball for hi^kindness._

Committees Appointed to Arrange
For Joint Debate.
Gainesville, Ga., january
Hon. Howard Thompson has named
his committee to meet a similar one
to be named by Hon. Carter Tate
to arrange time and place of a se-
ries of joint debates between these
well-known Georgians who will
contest for the democratic nomina¬
tion for congress from the ninth
district. Colonel Thompson’s let-
ter was mailed to Colonel Tate this

its receipt it is expected that the
present congressman will select his

friends and arrange the debates.
Colonel Thompson has selected
George E. Ded wyler, of Jackson
county; W . E. Candler, of Union
couSty ; arid Samuel C. Dunlap, of
Hall county to represent him, and
the gentleman are well known citi-
zens and influential democrats
They are among Colonel Thomp-
son^s strongest friends in the dis-
trict and can be expected to do their
part toward securing his nomination
at the approaching convention. Col-
onel Thompson notifies Colonel
Late in his letter that he will take
the privilege of speaking at such
times and places as opportunity
presents until the arrangement of
the series of debates is consumma¬
ted, and assures him that he will
gladly give him an equal division of
time at his appointments if the
gressmun so desires. The privilege
of speaking in the meantime is also
extended Congressman Tate of
course by Colonel Thompson.

Believes the Administration Mis-
Washington, Jan. 31.—Repre-
sentative Howard does not believe
that the administration is giving
emt correct information concerning
the Cuban situation.
He says that he believes that the
public is being misled regarding
the situation there. “I believe the
situation is very grave,” he said,”
and that the whole Cuban question
may become volcanic at any time.
I believe that congress is being
kept , in . ignorance . of . the , true condi-
tions on the island, and that the
administration is concealing be-
hind the apparently open reports
given out through the press the
dangers which ... may now . be
ening the peace.”

WARSHIP MOHICAN
ORDERED TO SAMOA.
Must Respect‘‘Old Glory” Steps
Will Be Taken to Create Deep-
er Respect for the Amei-
can Flag.
New York, Jan. 31.—The Amer¬
ican flag will soon be displayed in
Samoan waters by a man-of-war,
says The Herald’s Washington
correspondent. The vessel will be
the Mohican, which has been con¬
verted into a training ship. Since
the arrival in Washington of for¬
mer Consul General Churchill, the
president and Assistant Secretary
of state Day have become convinced
that American interests require that
an American warship visit Samoa.
Mr. Churchill has told them that
t j ie na tj ves have no respect for the
Amercian government because it
has neyer sent a man -of-,var to sup-
port any steps for the protection of
American inte rest which its repre-
sentatives in Apia might take.
Mr. Churchill reported an insult
to an American from Arizona who
hag established a mission near Apia,
He demanded satisfaction but the
na t| ves laughed at him, and upon
subsequent occasions when he at¬
tempted to get satisfaction for some
wrong committed,they taunted him
with lhe outrage committed upon
t h e m ss j on and tU e further fact that
he had received no support from
his government in the stand he had
taken . The natives have quite a
different feelin ^ for the EngJish
and German
Each of these governments keep
one and sometimes two cruisers in
Samoan waters. The last Amerei-
can war ship to visit Apia was the
Alliance, which dropped anchor in
the harbor in 1893.
Upon the arrival of the Mohican
that her commanding officer,^0^-
mander G. M. Book, will confer
with Consul General Osborn rn re¬
gard to the steps to be taken to cre¬
ate a deeper respect among the
natives for the American flag,
