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 farmerr^of Hhe- r South-.-—Augusta Chronicle.

It is un just to charge papers which simply oppose the sub-treasury plan, with beiug opposed to the farmers.

Depcw, one of the most prominent republicans in the country, a candidate for the presiden cy before’the last republican conven tion, speaking of Grover Cleveland, Staple & Fancy said “If I am to name the typical Amer ican, the man who loves and believes in his coun'ry beyond everything else; the man who, determining once in what direction his duty leads, cannot be swerved front the path—the man who is d 'ggcdly persistent in what he believes to be right—the man who thinks not of self, but of his country and its needs, I would name Grover Cleveland. What he has accomplish ed is the very highest attribute to the possibilities of American cit zenship. A country la tyer in the city ol Buffalo, he shed luster upon the high profes- sion which he had chosen. As the mayor at his native city he presented as his record a clean and economical administration.

In my mind it is very clear that when the people elect a man to the Legislature upon any open, pronounced platform, nothing less than the people can change that platform. If in any instance the members of an Alliance, as an organization or as individuals, have attempted such a change 1 do not hesitate to say it is unwise and full ol danger. The people, and not a part of the people, must rule iu our government. This is just what the farmers have been fighting. We do not want class government of any kind, whether by manufacturers, professions or producers. Our gov ernment must bo maintained by the people as a whole, and as a Democrat and a citizen I will a precedent to guide him in the con ditions which surrounded him, he won the affection of his party and com manded the respect and admiration or his opponents.
