JOHN TBII’I.ItTr, Hus. Plan. Let The Fight Begin. Governor Gordon’s friends arc ready for the fight to be made against him. Mr. Harry Brown, who claims to have ‘‘fixed” the governorship, now essays to play a prominent part in “fixing - ’ the senntorship. In a dis patch to the Augusta Chronicle, on Thursday, occurs the following para graph: “It is certain,” said Editor Harry Brown, of the Alliance organ, to night, “that Governor Gordon will ; have opposition. That speech killed v him for the senate. He climbed out on a limb and sawed it off between him and the tree. “There can hardly be any doubt that he will have a straightout sub- treasury opponent. “It is war to the knife now, and knife to the hilt.” The majority ot the alliancemen of Georgia are not in love with the sub treasury plan ; most assuredly they are not in this district, as was shown by the big alliance vote polled for Mr. Turner, when he was telling them from the stump that he could not, and would not support the sub-treas ury plan. Mr. Brown’s glib assertion that tiie speech of Gov. Gordon’s, to which he alludes, and in which he planted himself against the sub-treas ury plan, ‘‘would kill him for the senate,” will not carry any weight with it. The people know John B. Gordon, and they will trust him; trust him, as they have in the past. And he will never prove untrue to the toiling masses. Corput’s Threats. There is bad blood between the country and Rome. Strange, isn’t it, that this feeling of the country against the towns, should be cropping out all over the state? Speaking of the trou • ble in Floyd, the Tribune of Romo says: The telegram from Felix Corput, published in Sunday’s Tribune, cov ers a threat against Rome so arrogant and blatant that it cannot be ignored. Who is this man that threatens the twelve thousand people of this power ful city with commercial revolution because they dare to express their honest opinion and protest his candi dacy for office? By what right does he assume to speak this threat, as if the good men of the Alliance of Floyd county were carried in his vest pocket and would do his bidding like manikins? Upon what meat of influence has he grown so great as to intimidato the metropolis of a great county and a greater section with a mere shake of his warning linger? The simple manhood of a people, , which rises above politics and tran scends all lower issues, will resent the threat and rebuke the interference. The people of Rome and of the county, who think differently from Sir. Corput and disapprove his candi dacy for office, have a right to express that difference in any legal way they may choose, and they do not intend to be scared out of their honest opin ions by the implied threat of a boy* cott, which would be as absurd as it would be unimportant. TheJColored Teachers- Mili.edoevii.i.e, Ga., Aug. 18.— To day was the day appointed by Judge Hook, state school commission er, for the opening of the colored Pea body institute. At nine o’clock the lecturers, to gether with Professor L, B. Evans, were all in their places and the work of reasoning with the teachers began cheerily amid the strains of vocal and instrumental music. Rev. J. L.’ B. Gibson, of Millcdge- villc, welcomed the teachers and lect urers in on address that was thought fully written and reflected much credit upon the writer and his race. Chickamauga Park. Washington, Aug. 19.—President Harrison has signed the Chickamau* ga park bill, •l>ti Gov. Gordon’s Position. The New York Herald haying charged that Gov. Gordon had gone over to ihe alliance for political pur poses, the Governor thus retorts, in a communication to the Herald: The absolute procr, however, that you have been who'ly misinformed as to my attitude toward the Farmers’ Alliance movement is found in the undeniable fact that ! have not in very many years, nor in the least par ticular changed my views or position 011 any ot the leading principles in which the Alliance is interested. I hold now and express now the identi cal opinions on these subjects that 1 have steadfastly, uniformly and every where held and expressed for twelve or fifteen years. For fifteen years or more I have persistently urged the farmers to compact,'self-defensive or ganization. The united and earnest support given me by the Farmers’ Alliance tu Georgia is not due to any new and sudden conversion on my pari to the grea' principles of government al reform which they advocate; but due to the unceasing war I have en deavored to make upon the wrongs from which they have long and un complainingly suffered. I invite the Herald and I defy any man to find one thought or one sentence in any recent utterance of mine on these subjects w <ich have not their coun terparts 10 speeches, leu er; and pub lished arguments made by me before the Alliance was born. The Home of Mr. Stephens. A negro named Rogers has pur- chased Alex H. Stephens’ old home stead near Marietta, tla., has renova ted it and established his family there. The home ot the Vice President ot the Southern Confederacy in the possession of a member of the en slaved race completes the history of the great civil war.—New York World. This silly paragraph has been float ing for some time in the Northern papers, and, as it is barely possible that somebody may be brought to believe it, it may be just as well to correct it. lion. Alex. H. Stephens never lived near Marietta. He lived in the town of Crawlordville, Ua., and his old homestead, the famous “Lib erty Hall,” is not in the possession of a neero, and never has been. It is owned by the Stephens Memorial association and occuped by Prof. V. T. Sanford, who conducts the Stephens High school upon the premises. On the broad, sloping lawn is the grave 01 the Vice President of the Confederacy and “Great Commoner.” Over his honored remains a monument will soon be erected by the association as a memento of a grateful and prosper ous people. Now let The New York World correct this rather revolting fancy sketch.—Augusta Chronicle. A Hard Fight to be Made by Col. Livingston Against Governor Gordon. Brunswick Times. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.—I find that the principal matter of interest is the contest for the United States senatorship. From all the signs, I am iorced to believe that Col. Livingston’s chances for that office are improving. A number of Georgia newspapers heretofore considered supporters of Governor Gordon, have come out squarely for Col. Livingston. Gov. Gordon’s best friends here admit that the situation is serious, and they have gotten down to hard work. From in formation I have received, I state boldly that Col. Livingston is regular ly iu the race, nnd that he is moving heaven nnd earth to be elected. He thinks he lias the next General As sembly at his disposal, and there are those who agree with him. Governor Gordon need not be too confident. Of course, it would be a calamity if Gov. Gordon were to suffer defeat, but he and his friends might as well make up their minds that a hard fight is ahead of them. No man in Georgia can successfully measure arms with John B. Gordon for the senate. His popularity em braces all classes. Martin Irons, the once great labor dictator, now sells peanuts in a St. Louis depot.
