The Chronicle not an Enemy.
Editor Harry Brown, in a letter in
The Constitution, of Tuesday, discuss
ing Governor Gordon and his race for
the senatorship and his position to
wards the Alliance, says: ‘‘The Au
gusta Chronicle is about the bitterest
enemy of the Alliance amongst the
newspapers in Georgia.” This is not
true. T.ie Chroniclo is not and
never has been bitter towards the
Alliance. If opposition to the sub
treasury hgmbug justified Editor
Brown in charging the Chronicle with
bitterness to tho Alliance, then his
characterization of the Chronicle is
correct, otherwise his charge is with
out foundation. The Chronicle is now
and always has been friendly to the
