About all that can be saiil for or even
against Col. Allen D, Cundler in con
nection with the coming gubernatorial
race can be found in the letter from the
citizens of Glarke County; and in the
reply to the same, both of which are to
he found in another coluin of this issue
of the Journal, which was the first of
newspapers of the state that made the
announcement that Col. Allen D. Can
dler, the “Plowboy of Pigeon Roost,”
would be in the race for the democratic
nomination for that office; We there
fore propose to stick to him: because
Ist. he is a true and tried old.time and
purs Democratic man ; and has been in
active public service long enough for it
to have become a well established and
an undisputed fact that he is the most
worthy man in Geotgia, for the highest
office in Ga; that lies within the power
of our free thinking people, those who
would completely destroy all cliques or
rings now composed of strong believers
in, anil supporters of the spoils sistems
of government, when the opportunities
for so doing are oller-d.
2nd. He is certainly the ninn lor
our naxt governor, because h* is tbe
n -xt man tn line for promotion.
!sr<l. He is an ex-confederate sol
dier, and is peihaps tbe last of that
noble crowd who stood in front < t
muskets four long years, and we cer
tainly should give that man who de
serves it our last favors, in apprecia
tion of the lost cause.
4th. No better man in Georgia
can be found for the position,
stb. He has waited patiently for
this his opportunity and now lie is
entitled to our honors.
Mark A. Hardin
In naming lion. Mark A. Hurdm
as our choice for Hou. Allen D. Can
dler’a miccesser in the office ot secre
tary of state, we do at-, because, in
following the line of elligibles for pro
motion in our public oflices, we find
that Mark A. Hardiu formally years
has proven perfectly satisfactory to
tlia people, and lie too, is very descrv
mg of our support in trying to pro—
mote him to the next round of the
Georgia ladder ot public officials.
The Journal will ever be found iu
favor of continually promoting every
public servant who proves himself to
be a satisfactory officer in the lower
offices; and where such officer proves
competent to fill the next higher office
We are always willing to how onr
appreciation of faithful past services.
Howard Thompson
Following this rule still further, we
find that Hon. Howard Thompson
lias proven to be one of the beat, (if
not the beat) Solicitor General that
his circuit has ever had, and is a sat
isfactory public official, lienee we
wait to promote him. He has an
nounced for eongreis, and he is a
good man for that place, he too, is de
serving of our honors, and we should
aid with our might to put bun into
the house of repiesentatives of the
U. S. as the representative of the
Ninth Congressional Diat. of Georgia
where it is believed lie will serve his
district to bc best of bis ability and i
satisfactorily.

Athens, Ga., January 18, 1898.—Hon.
Allen D. Candler, Gainssville, Ga.—
Dear Sir: We, the undersigned citi
zens of Athens and Clarke county,
have noted with pleasures the frequent
und favorable mention of your name by
the press of the state in connection
with the next gubernatorial election.
Your peculiar fitness for the high office
of governor is readily recognized by all
who know you. Active, able anil hon
est, you have fully met all the duties
and responsibilities of private life and
public station.
In 1861 you responded promptly to
the call to arms: and in camp, on
marsh and battlefie and illustrated by
your couduct the fortitude anil hero
ism of the eonfederata soldier, scaling
with your life’s blood your devotion to
Georgia, and to principle. You volun
teered with the firs; you returned with
the last. Alter the termination of
that dsistrous conflict you wire
ct.lled to represent the county of Hall
in the general assembly of the state
There you acquitted yourself with
honor.
In 1.882 til the hour of dire need,
you were named by the democracy of
the ninth congressional district as its
standard bearer. In the two preceed
ing campaigns defeat and disaster
had atteaded the result, and her cho
sen champions had gone down before
the tierce assaults of the opposition.
The party was demoralized, the op—
position flushed with repeated victo
ries, was confident* Without solicita
tion or knowledge on your part you
were nominated and the convention
adjourned. The result is history.
The man and the hour had met.
After the more brilliant contest in its
history the glorious old ninth was re
deemed, and once more the triumph
ant banners of democracy waved
pri u lly and high over her mountain
tops. Your services in congress to
your people and the country at largo
were emminently efficient and Ratis —
factoiy. At the end of your congress
ionnl career, embracing eight years of
continuous service, you voluntarily
surrendered your commission to the
people without stain or blemish.
After the death of the late lamented
General Phd Cook, von were called
to the honored office of secretary of
stato. The duties of tris position yuu
have discharged faithfully and well.
A veteran yourself, you will i.ot for
get the veteran. One of the common
■people you are touched with a feeling
of their infirmaties. A public man,
you are faniilliar with tha a flail's of
state. Ripe in experience, loyal in
party fealty and patriotic in purpose,
you are tne man tor the place. Again
the man and the hour have met.
Believing that your nomination
will heal all existing breeches in thd
party and that your election would lie
accomplished by an old-fashioned dern
ooeatic majority of lUO.OOO votes, we
earnestly urge you to enter the race
for governor at the not ensuing elec
tion. Very truly yours,

A. H,. Saye and Others. - Gentlemen:
lin in receipt ol your communica
tion of the iBth instant, asking me to
enter the race for governor at tin
next ensuing election, and it; reply 1
beg to say that when my name wa
first suggested' about a year ago in
this connection Iform*nths repelled
the idcabpennse I was not, seeking,
political preferment and deemed it
unwise and injurious to the best inter
ests of the people to precipitate a
political campaign so far in advance
of the election. The suggestion con
tinued, nowever. to be pressed to the
front and has met with a response
from both the press and the poople
that could but bo gra.ifying how
ever reluctant I might be to enter tbe
contest.
But it remained for classic Athens
of proud memories to be tbe first city
in the state to prefer a formal request ,
forme to stand for the democratic
nomination- This is peqculiarly
gratifying, for it was within a few
miles of her .corpora e limits that 1
spent my childhood, and as a farmer
boy, learned to drive the plow- It
was near her classic shades that 1
grew to min’* estate. It was the
music of tbe bell in the tower of old
Franklin college that first inspired
me with that laudable ambition with
out which life is barren of results.
My first ideals of greatness in tbe
pulpit, at tbe bar, on the bench and
in the halls of legislation were her
Waddells and Churches and Iloyls
and Lumpkins and Cobbs aud Douli
ertvs and Hulls. I‘was a child, but
the impresions of childhood are
usually correct. These were among
the greatest Geogians. Their ashes
repose beneath the sod of old Oconee
cemetery, but their works live after
them. Their most enduring monu
ment is the exalted character of their
descendants and the descendants of
their neighbors whose character they
molded-
To be deemed worthy by such a
city, a city remarkable for tl e learn
ing, patriotism chivalry of its citi
zens, of the exalted position of ohiei
magistrate of a great state is a dif
tinguished honor that I will cherish
to the day of my death.
I recognize among the names signed
to your letter thenames of farmers,
mechanics, merchants, manufacturers,
bankers, lawyers and statesman, men
of every calling, who have Known me
from youth- men who weae my com
rades iu arms when the tocsin of war
summoned us to the field ot fire and
blood in defense of our homes and
firesides. These men are bound ti
me by bands of steel. Common suf
fering and common danger mule - us
brothers.
l>ut I also recognize other names,,
"the names of men who lat r on, on
another arena, of which you l.a\e
spoken in your communication in
terms more fluttering than I desert e,
endeared themselves to me as only
those can be endeared who, conscious
of right, battle in a common cause
for the common good. In 188*2
when the gioiious flag of democracy
which had been so often borne to
victory, but never to defent, by How
ell Cobb and Julius Hillyer and
James Jackson and l>eu Hill, was
trailing m the dust, having twice
gone down in defeat, the last lime
overborne by an adverse majority
ot more than 4,000 votes, when party
insubordination run liot in the seventh
and ninth congressional districts, and
the infection of independent ism
threatened the intire state, and the
champions of dem'oracy were sick at
heart and had well nigh given up in
despair, these men, believing in the
undying principles of true demoeraoy
as the martyr believes the truths of
his holy religion, rallied to re-estal)
Ugi) the the ancient faith as the cru
saders rallied to rescue the holy sep
ulchre.
They wrested the tattered banner
from those who by an unholy alliance
had captured and dishonored it, and
cabling on their brethren throughout
the mountain district to unite with
jheui, they summoned me from my
peaceful pursuits and placing it in my
hands hade me lead them to glorious
victory or honorable defeat. 1 took
the banner and they swore fealty to
me and my cause—your \ ancys and
Talmadges and Burnetts and Carl
ton* and O'Farrells —and in one of
fiercest conflicts ever waged in a
congressional district routed the co
horts of the enemy ftom the moun
tains of Rabun to the plains of Mor
gan. re-establisded the supremacy of
the true jiolitical faith al over Georgia
and buried indepen Jentism so deep
that the hand ot resurrection can
never reach it.
These same men, heroes in the
cause of the right, re-enforced by the
accession to their ranks of a gallant
young democracy, the Browns and
Thomases and Reeds and Tribbles
and Tucks and Ashes, desire me to
ask my party for the old flag and
under its lolds to lead in establishing
the supremacy of a re united demoe
racy in Georgia, Again Athens,
classic Atb *ns, venerable Atheus i
nursery of scholars, jurists and states
nen, proposes, as of yore, to stand
iponsor me. I thank her. She shall
lie my sponsor and. God being my
helper, I will never bring the blush
of shame to the check of my god
mother.-
I will stand tor the nomination for
governer of Georgia, and in doing so
I will go to the people as the candi
date of no ring, clique, faction or
combination,but simply as an old
fashioned democrat standing on the
platform of my party and believing
in its tenets as declared by its national
convention and expounded by
Jefferson and Jackson; and pointing
with pride and confidence to a legts
lativo record of seven years m. our
state legislature and eight yea-s in
the nalrional'congreiit in which can
be found no vote cast by me and no
word uttered by me not in tbe interest,
of the coinnion people who pay the
taxes and bear the burtheqs of gov .
eanment.
In my candidacy I will invoke the
support of all Georgians who believe in
the eardinal doctrines of democracy,
feeling assured that in common with me
however earnestly they may dissent
from any of the declarations of the last
national platform, they believe that for
the people of Georgia any honest dem
ocrat standing on his platform of his
party is preferable to the ascendency ol
republicanism. Democracy judged by
its record of a hundred years stands for
that most sacred right—local seif
government, taxation for revenue only •
honesty and economy in the adminis
tration of the law, equal and exact jus
tice tuWl* special privileges to none, a
sound, flexible and adequate volumecf
currency consisting of the gold and sil
of the constitution, eoined at all of our
mints free and unlimited without dis
crimination against either, snpplemen
led by a p iper circulation sufficient
'n volume to meet all the require
ments ol trade, redeemable on de
tnaml in gold and silver coin.
Republicanism, on the other hand,
now as ever, stands for a centralized
government abridged the rights of
the -citizen, a high protective tariff
robbing t ie many to enrich the few,
tne fostering of monopolies which
breed both millionaires and paupers,
i he-restriction of silver coinage, and
the destruction" of all paper money
save only that issued by the national
•banks; the subordination of the in
terests of the agricultural classes to
those of the manufac urers and money
changers in specially favored districts,
and here in the south now as in the
days of the carpetbaggers, the prefer
ment to offices of trust and profit of
the negro over the white man.
These Tire the two parties between
which the people of Georgia have to
choose. They are the only national
parties. We must muster under one
ot these flags or tbe other. No other
organization, however honest and
earnest its members, can redress our
wrongs afid guard our interests. We
can expect nothing from McKinley
ism. It is our enemy, implacable
and unrelenting. This lias been
abundantly demonstrated since the
4th of March. To resist it our peo
ple) must unite. Such a union will
not onl, protect- our- material, polit
ical ami social interests, but will pur -
ify our politics- We must have clean
methods and honest elections.
The prcsance in our midst of a
hundred thousand voters who have
never realized the sanctity of the
ballot nor the responsibility of citi
zenship is a constant menace to our
government and our civilization. A
vena! vote is the destruction of a
repub'ic. The use of money to con
trol elections must stop. It is a re
publican method imported into the
south by the carpetbaggers. Today
we have a federal administration
which owes its existence to the use of
money and a purchased vote. This
evil constantly grows in magnitude
and it has reached that point at
which a good man who becomes a
candidate for office, however much
he may abhor such metheds, is often,
from necessity, driven to resort to
them or go down in ignominious de
fent. Away with such methods.
They are undermining the very cor
ner stone of our political fabric.
1 would abridge the rights of no
titizen, white or colored, in the full
enjoyment of life, liberty, property
and the pursuit of happiness. I
would give to the negro every tight
and privilege to which he is entitled
under the law; I would give him all
his rights in court. I would endeavor
to qualify his children for good citi
zenship. I would protect him a
gainst the rapacity of grasping men-
I would let the burthen of taxation
fall eqbally upon him and his white
neighbor. I would teach h:m to be
honest and incorruptible in his exer
cise of <he clectire franchise as in bit.
business dealings with his landlord or
his merchant. But I would not buy
bis vote, and thus corrupt the halloi
and make him a balance of power to
say who shall rule over the white
people, of Georgia.
Id the punishment of crime I
would mete out the same even-handed
justice to white and b’a"k aUlti.j
neither excusing the one because he
is white, nor punishing the other
because lie is black. In the admin
istration ot the prison laws I would
keep constantly tn view two cardinal
ideas —first, that it is the duty of the
state to punish clime, and, secondly,
that punishment must lie influ-ted
with humanity and without unneces
sary cruelty or seventy.
I In expending the public revenue I
I would keep constantly in view the
I fact that the state never ha* n dollai
that Is not wrung from the hard earn
ings of its citizens under its taxing
law; that every dollar it applies to
public use was coined out of the
sweat of one of its own citizens, and
tnat t spend a dollar unnecessarily is
to rob its citizens of a dollar. Hence
those charged with the imposition of
taxes sno the collection and expendi
ture of the public revenues should be
held to the most rigid accountability,
especially at such a time as this.
when the cost of production of cotton,
our leading staple, is as much or
more than it will command in the
market, and when honest labor clad
in rags begs for work at starvation
wages in order to be able to buy
bread.
I know that the governor of the
state has but little power in the im.
position of taxes, but he has some.
He can ivielu a wholesome influence
in the direction of economy and the
constitution and laws make it his
duty to advise the legislature.
If this fails to protect the tax payer,
he has the veto wisely given given
him by the people to protect them
against hasty and inconsiderate leg
lation.
I know tbai our legislatures have
difficult problems to solve and
numerous plausible demands to meet.
I know that appeals have been
made to them well nigh irresistible
for many worthy objects 1 do not
belicvM that a dollar has deen dishon
estly applied or applied to an unwor
thy object I>ut tba fact remains
that the people of Georgi are to day
paymy higher taxes than have ever
been exacted of them bofore in tbe
history of the state; and at the same
time the poor man lias to give more
of his labor fer a dol'er with which
to pay his taxes than he ever had to
give before. A spirit of extravagance
seems to have grown up, not only in
our state, county and municipal
governments. As the prices of
property and of labor and of products
of labor have gone down year after
year, our taxes, state, county and
municipal, have constantly gone up
year after year.
I k-iow it w ill be difficult and in
most cases undesirable to reduce the
allowance now made Dy law to the
various state instituii :ns and objects
of appropriation. Our schools must
be maintained, our needy poor old
soldiers who breaed the storm of
bcttle for the protection of our homes
must be provided for and the honor
and credit of the state must be pro
tected at whatever cost. Hut wc can
stop leaks and put on the brakes, and
see to it that, this annual increase in
the tax rate steps:
In 1883 the state levy was *25 cents
on the hundred dollars. In 1897
it was 62 I 10 cents. The county
levies are on an average about equal
to the state ra'e. Thus the people
of Georgia paid in 1683 in taxes to
the state and counties, when cotton
biougt 10 J cents a pound, less than
four million dollars, and in 1897,
when cotton ,old at 4 J cents they
paid nealy six million dollars, A
few more years of annual increase at
this rate will mean to many people
confiscation and ruin.
In the name of humanity let us
pul on the brakes. The people who
pay the taxes are intitled to as much
consideration as those who get the
benefits of them.
These are my views. They are
honestly enttrtained and deeply
rooted. They are the doctrines of
democracy. Planted on them 1 will
go to an intelligent and patriotic p n o
pie wearing the collar of no man or
set of men- I have made no pledge to
anybody for anything and I will not.
I will sooner go down in defeat.
If I am nominated and elected I
will have no political debts to pay; no
i friends to reward, no enemies to pun
ish; butwiil be free to give to the
people of my native 6tale a clean hun
eft, economic administration, without
any effort at ostentation or show.
Thanking you, gentleman, and
through you the demon,cy of Athens
and Clarke county, which has evet
stood by me with a loyalty second
only to that of my own faithful aud
beautiful little city, for the distin
guished honor you '-ave lone mo, and
for the courteous language in which
your invitation is extended, am faith
fully, your fellow citizen.^

EXPENSES. It is an object of the
school to impress practical economy in
every department. Good board can be
bad fri in $1.50 to $2.0(1 per week and
room rent from 50c to 75e per week,
thus making the entire cost with tu
lion $8.0(1 per week. To meet these
low rates it is absolutely necessary
that all bills be paid a term tn udvnn

board or room rent, but charge lOcper
week additional for tin-time, if less

J, Bryan, and having taken part in the
deliberations of that body, I deem it

and I stand now, as I did then, on every
plank thereof; and should I receive the
nomination, and the same should be
ratified at the ballot box, I will do ull in
my power to enact ii.toluw tbe declara

Hoping that my candidacy may meet
with such .consideration at your hands
