This goes side by side witli a ferocious attack on the people of Georgia who dare to resist the railroad lobby. Tin's goes side by' side with a Lhree eolmnn .article denouncing the men who are not controlled by Gen. E I*. Alexan der’s Shareholders' Association. This goes side by side with tho words of au editor who is intimately mixed up with the railroads in Georgia. This heads one column, while three columns are tho voice of an interested shareholder in *■ this mil road robbery scheme. Where is this tiling to end ?

Wow deadly to the soul! # ♦ Savannah News, Oct. 4th, ’B2.—“lt has always been the policy of the Cen tral to keep aloof from political entan glements * * The W. &A. Railroad allusion was timely. The State was un able to manage its own property, and now seeks to manage the property of its citizens by a railroad commission.” Bullock mismanaged it, not tho peo ple. While Mr. Wadley lived the Cen tral partook of his upright methods. Since the Savannah News got into the Concern and has tried to make its col umns misrepresent public opinion to (ill its own pockets, the Central has got into “entanglements.” Its allusion to one of the editors of I bis paper is more respect ful than usual, and wo will graciously tell it, that its superior sense should in dicate a better polity to its fiery neigh bor in Augusta who got a “lift” in rail road enterprise some years ago, by cer tain political combinations. Anything that the News might suggest to the rail road organ in Atlanta we think would be useless. Kimballville’s Constitution will always be like Kimball. Does the News endorse Gen, Alexander’s Shareholders’ Association 1 f Flarrison, of Quitman. On Friday last, after the people were defended from the money of E. I*. Alex ander’s Railroad Shareholders’ Associa tion, the Harrison, who had the honor or dishonor, last summer, of fighting a dead mail on the floor of the Legislature—to the disgust ‘of every decent man in the Union—rose and roared like a bull of Rushan, lie assaulted Dig Felton as an Unworthy follower of the Lowly Nn/::- rene, because he (Dr. Jb\), resisted the money of a railroad lobby and “killed” ITarrisdn’s Vote to keep the farmers of Brooks county in entire Subjection to his Oil's.) railroad piasters, lie foamed at the mouth, and he made a spectacle of himself that no respectable man could notice as an opponent. Once upon a time the Lowly Xazarcnc became so infuriated with the money changers and thieves in God’s holy tem ple that ho applied the lash to their un- worthy backs. No doubt they squalled. Xo doubt but they'reviled the Lowly Xazareue himself 1 From the way Har rison bleated his own back must have smarted considerably. Tlie lash redden ed bis face, and even his hair got red hot. Hon. Patrick Walsh. It is a mistake for people to assert—and no ohts asserts it but an arrant humbug and a plAtanf demagogue, who is not able to make a r*vjpcjtaWc living at any other railing than that of polities—that railroads were built for the ben eht of the public alone.— Augusta Chronicle. Whenever the gifted editor of the Chronicle gets excited, begets diffuse— and he gets abusive sometimes, but not often. It is a favorite point with him to charge everybody who differs with him with being “unable to manage their own business.” His tree use of Dr. Felton’s name in this connection is unnecessary, because it has no point, and Mr. Walsh knows nothing, whatever, about his pri vate business—and whether he misman ages or not, the loss does not fall on Mr. Walsh or the railroads, but on himself. If Dr. Felton had been so disposed, and had agreed to manage Gen Lawton’s candidacy for the Senate, for a quid pro quo, he would have done the work or returned either the quid or the quo. He never was disposed, however, to man age nis polities that way, therefore he is poor while other people are rieli. Geu. Lawton must have been amused (?) to see all his senatorial geese driven into another Senators goose-pen, where they have cackled loudly ever since in the columns of the Augusta Chronicle. An all Steel Axe, at V. L. Williams & Cos. VV.io Represents tho Democratic Party ? The Atlanta Constitution says the Democratic party in Georgia will contin ue to fight the Railroad Commission, and help the railroads to make unjust rates against the labor of this country. Un der date of Oct. 4th, it further says: “If Dr. Felton makes his nkxt campaign for Governor” (on the people’s side of the question), “the Constitution” (i. e. the Democratic party) “will fight him and overwhelmingly defeat him.” Let us examine the Constitution’s claims to the leadership of the Demo cratic party in the first place. Gen. Toombs is the father of the Com mission bill, Judge Reese, of Washing ton, wrote it out, Gov. McDaniel intro duced it. Gov. Brown and Gen. Law ton, one representing the State Road, and the other the Central —which now controls every railroad south of Atlanta —agreed to it. Mr. Gordon, of Savan nah, denied Gen. Lawton’s consent, but as prominent a man as Atlanta affords, a member of the General Assembly that parsed the Commission hill, authorizes Dr. Felton to say, he knows Gen. Law ton did acquiesce in the hill —nor do we think Gen. Lawton will provoke an issue of veracity when the author’s name reaches him. Are these men not Demo crats ? Again, the Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta, which embraces as high toned business men as the State holds, memorialized the Legislature to protect Atlanta from the unjust rates of tin: railroads and to stand by the Com mission. Three men dissented, namely: Mr. Kimball, Mr. Bullock and some em ployee of a railroad—name not remem bered. Is this notable trio the “Democratic party” of Atlanta that will help the Constitution to light for the railroads and to impoverish the business men of Atlanta? The editor-in-chief of the Atlanta Constitution is the political dictator and mouth-piece of its politics. Was he not once a solicitor-general, appointed by Gov. Bullock, defeating lion. Andrew Sloan, republican, for the place? Has it come to pass that Mr. Bullock and his appointees are now the recognized “Democratic party” of Georgia? Is it possible that lion. Campbell Wal lace, ex-Gov. James M. Smith and lion. L. N. Trammell are heretics to the “Democratic faith,” that tho “Demo cratic party” should expatriate them? This subject will hear examination. Such check! Such assumacy!! Faugh!!! Next: we hold in our hands as we w rite, a circular issued by the Railroad Shareholders’ Association in New York —E. P. Alexander, of Georgia, presi dent. It is organized to “defeat all leg islation unfriendly to railroads.” It an nounces that its means are “unlimited.” It intends to prepare arguments and em ploy counsel to control legislative com mittees. It intends to employ money to control the executive, the judicial and the legislative departments in each State to push its methods on the people. It in tends to buy the press of the country with its “ unlimited means.” These things are printed, avowed and explain ed just as we state them, and almost in the same words. Since the time when men and senates were openly bought in Imperial Rome, nothing like this docu ment has seen open daylight. They keep a large capital on hand to disburse to their agents—and they use it. Now, see how cleverly this thing has been pressed so far. Gen. E. P. Alex ander, the president, has been appointed by President Cleveland, as the people’s man —as director for the United States to see that the railroads west of the Missouri river, otherwise the Union Pacific roads —shall not oppress the labor or the citi- zens of that country. lie Is put there to see that these roads are made to pay their dues to the tax-payers of the coun try who loaned them $150,000,000 to buiid the roads, and of which they now refuse to pay a cent to the government, and have to he forced to pay only five per cent, of their a sinking fund, that the laborers of these United States may not be entirely defrauded of both principal and interest. This is the man recommended by the Atlanta Con stitution as a suitable person to protect us from railroad extortion! This ap pointment is made in the face of this cir cular, before mentioned, and with the in tentions of Shareholders’ Association ticketed on liis back! President Cleve land has been imposed upon that he al lowed the railroads to circumvent him, and when this matter comes before the United States Senators who have so long fought the lobby money of these Pacific railroads, he null denounce it. That cir cular, a copy of which we hold, should procure Mr. Alexander's immediate re moval—because he cannot thus serve Gnd and mammon. Gen. Alexander is a large shareholder in the Western & Atlantic Railroad. He draws immense dividends that merchants and farmers pay to this road. We protest that the Atlanta Constitution should not claim thi' circular to be the action of the great Democratic constituency in Georgia. When Senator Edmunds takes that cir cular before the open Senate he will cither remove the Shareholders’ Asoeia tion or lie will cover the railroads with deserved infamy. Democracy, protect thyself now! To the next idea that the Constitution advances, viz.: “If Dr. Felton makes his next campaign for Governor” (on the rights of the people) “the Demo cratic party” (namely the railroad party —asH'oiced by the Constitution) “will defeat him.”—By railroad money we suppose. As Dr. Felton lias never made a campaign for governor, the word “next” is inapplicable in one sense of the word. lie did, l** wever, toree the Constitution to nominate an independent “to save the Democratic party.” That independent, when in possession of liis mental faculties, did h eartily denounce the Constitution’s Democratic party. He could thrash it w ; th such a relish! That independent was G ov. Alexander 11. Stephens. That independent did say that he had “just as soon belong to the. Republican party in Georgia as to the Kirkwood ring.” That independent did say he never be longed to any political organization in his life, and never would belong to one; that the thimble-riggers in one party were no more objectionable to him than the irre sponsible junta in the other.” The Con stitution remembers his ,-tand in 1878. He -aid all this about two months before the 'Constitution was obliged to nomi nate him as Governor of Georgia “to save the party,” viz : in the latter part of Feb. 1882. He said, further, that Dr. Felton and his independent friends had “managed” his cause “admirably, look ing to the best interests of the State.” All this was dictated and signed by “Alex. 11. Stephens,” himself. The proof is at hand; do you want it ? To truth and justice be it said he nev er was induced to speak contrary to his true sentiments until disease was rapidly sapping the citadels life—and he was inveigled by certain tricksters and Bohe mian newspapers into unhappy contra dictions, growing out of the very same cause that now renders Gen. Toombs helpless before the unholy curiosity and malice of his enemies. His mind also weakened near the close. Like Noah's reprobate son, they delight in exposing the age and feebleness of these great men, and we trust Gen. Toombs’ family will kick from their door every other emissary that may seek to drag down his great name axid patriotic efforts. Per haps this is the work of the Constitu tion’s Democratic party—the same party that sought to antagonize the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and which pro poses to defeat every effort of the people against the railroads. Perhaps this is a part of the Sharehold ers’ Association programme, for where is it likely that Gen. E. P. Alexander would use the “unlimited means,” if he does not “try it on” a Georgia Legisla ture? Is it likely lie would omit Geor gia newspapers when his association openly declares its programme to be con trol of the press? His big money inter ests lie in Georgia. Is the “pious Kingsberry,” with his little bribe a “sap sucker’ ’ on the great railroad tree ? Is he a paid tool ? Is our executive aware that the Shareholders’ Association pro poses to conti'ol the “executive” in each State ? Are our courts to be defiled with that bribe money ? And, arg our legis lative halls to he filled with men, who serve the railroads—who impoverish honest labor—who rob the farmer and merchant, like robber-Barons, and shall we submit again to the Bullock ring— who not only insult the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta, but who, with the cheek of Judas Iscariot, follow the lead ings of the Shareholders’ Association and call themselves the Democratic party of Geoi’gia? The Danger of a Monopoly. The great Standard Oil corporations have gained their immense control of the trade, which amounts to the absolute crushing out of every man or locality that dares to resist it, by shaping legisla tion wish the tools its elects to both State and national legislatures. It absolutely dictates every United States senator and congressman within the scope of its ter ritory, not to speak of the smaller legis lative bodies. They are open in their plans because their money is absolute in such contests. Georgia is threatened in the same way —with the inability to find men who w ill dare to i-esist l’ailroad money. The Cen tral Railroad is particularly active in trying to abolish the Railroad Commis sion. Not content with gobbling up ev ery lesser road south of Atlanta, they ef fectually strangle every proposed road that may strive to afford relief to a bur deued people. They have a director to lxianage their ease in the House of Rep l'esentatives, and their paid attorney does the same work in the Senate. They are bold and defiant in their demands, and, not satisfied with absolute control of all the steamship lines as aids to this vast net-work of railroads, they now clamor for eveiy hindrance to be raised from their freight and passenger rates —that they may plunder withoxxt mercy. When Georgia wakes up to find her self shorn of her strength, like Samson of old, she may grind in the prison house—racked with the consciousness that w hile once she was fi‘ee she is now a miserable bond-slave —the sport and jeer of those she indulged to her own hurt. We honestly believe the disquiet of the present time—the strikes—the defalca tions—dynamite and suicides —grow out of this unfairness of men to their fellow man, as exemplified in tire audacity and cruelty of the corporate power of mo nopolies. Pointers. When President Cleveland was elected who rushed into the House of Represen tatives and called for “Felton” to say the very first word of victory that was said in Georgia? Yet these men are now re viling other men who vote with the old “radical-independent.” When the Capitol Commissioners were about to be denounced for not using Georgia marble, who was called on to say they were “doing their duty” in saving the State’s money? RemeuPer tiiat when their slanderous tongues try to create prejudice and hate. Felton never made money under Bul lock. Felton never was Bullock’s chief-jus tice. Felton never helped to nominate Grant. Felton never traded a seat in Congress, into which one man slipped before the cushion cooled after the “slope” of the other, and into which Georgia was fooled by certain tricks, soon to be known. Felton never cheated Georgia in the lease of her railroad. Felton never cheated Georgia in the convict lease. Felton never made money in corrupt politics, and if ill behooves the men who did to cry out, “ Touch not the unclean thing.” Stand to your duty, legislators; it is the money that is abusing you—not the tools. The Railway Shareholders’ Asso ciation. This association is chartered under the laws of New York State. It attempts to combine seven billions of capital, and its objects are: Ist. To prevent the interference cf State officials with the regulation and management of railways. 2d. To repeal the law's taxing the in come of railways. 3d. To prevent assessments for taxes on railway-. 4th. To prevent paying damages by ac cidents. * sth. To prevent the construction of railways by people not connected with this association and to prevent them from construction, because these trunk lines will be forced to buy them. Gth. To oppose Congress in any attempt to exercise jurisdiction over the rail roads. Asa means to these ends it will cause to be prepared through the press argu ments against every measure affecting railways, and cause them to be placed before judicial, executive and legislative bodies. It will employ counsel before legislative bodies to defeat inimical measures to railways and to promote their interests. The scope of its useful ness will be as unlimited as the means placed at its command. Gen. E. P. Alexander, of Georgia, is the president. Henry Jewett is director for 20 railroad companies. Samuel Sloan is director for 23 railroad companies. Jay Gould is director for 24 railroad companies. Geo. B. Roberts is director for 2G rail road companies. Augustus Schell is director for 2S rail road companies. Sidney Dillon is director for 3G rail road companies. T. L. Ames is director for 52 railroad companies. Seven directors and 209 companies in cludes 120,000 miles of railway, 90,000 in vestors and employs 1,100,000 persons. Here it is in a nutshell, and E. P. Alexander, of Georgia, is at the head. He has also been appointed director by the United States Government on the Union Pacific road, wiiicli road pays him to do the things before enumerated. Great God in Heaven, can these things be submitted to? Every man on those lines can be compelled to vote, as are the men on th W. & A. R. R., to whom are issued a command when they vote for Congressmen and use the piiv ilege of a ballot. (This is a fact, for one was placed in our hand by a high official.) This gives an enormous vote to railway authorities. Their means are unlimited, and their “scope of useful ness” is also unlimited. Can it be true that poor Georgia is now being flooded with this money to control the Georgia Legislature? Gen. Alexander is the largest shareholder in this \V. & A. R. R. It lie directs money in any direction would it not come right here? Watch your representatives, one and all good people. When you find a fellow halting and dodging in plain view, of this asso ciation, controlled by railway money, you may set it down that the leaven is working. Certain newspapers in Geor gia are terrible in tlieir denunciation of the men who vote against E. P. Alex ander’s railway association. It will be remembered that each and every one recommended E. P. Alexander to be Director of the Union Pacific Road. We know that some have been subsidized in times past, and we believe others are now taking the same reward to defeat the people in their resistance to Jay Gould’s open, iniquitous corruption of every department of the government by these “unlimited means.” They choke off every new railway in Georgia. They impoverish every section but the money centers. They pay their tools to betray the people who have elected them, and we beg you to hold these creatures to a strict account. Dr. Felton and J. E. Bryait. To divert attention, while the railway tools ply their trade on the representa tives in the Georgia Legislature, a cor respondent in the Savannah Times says: “Dr. Felton and J. E. Bryant are form ing a coalition to run a campaign in Georgia together.” Words tail us to de pict a creature who would wilfully, knowingly and maliciously lie to this ef fect. The money of the railroads, like Herod’s worms, will eat up the soul of be scoundrel, who thus prostitutes his pen to such knavish work. Perhaps he will recollect that J. E. Bryant is a friend to some railroad presidents who gave him offices time and again, and is an open enemy, now and heretofore, to Dr. Felton. But, if J. E. Bryant has the manhood, the honesty, the courage to stand by his countrymen in this unrighteous fight, J. E. Bryant is to be praised for so doing. If God moves on his heart to help the poor and oppressed, he deserve justice. If he can antagonize the men who have made a tool of him ever since he voted in ’GS for Gov. Brown to the United States Senate, this lie should not come, as it does, from hat side. Before and After Taking. This indorsement of the Commission by the grand inquest of a county is calculated to show that the people of the State are not prepared to take any backward step in the railroad policy f Georgia. There is ample evidence to show that this policy has worked for the good of every in terest—for the interests of the public.—Constitu tion, March 15, 1855. Here it was when its “boss” was on friendly terms with the Commission! Dougherty county had by its grand jury endorsed the Commission and implored the Legislature to protect it from railroad extortion. Now, after taking some queer tonic, it has pulled up into the “Fat Boy” of the Railroad Museum. To read the above and hear the spoutings of the “willipus wallipus” at this time, it would seem as if its tonic cost somebody pretty dear as a restorative. Are oil ailing these hot mornings, and is your tongue dry and coaled? Then you need —not a stimulant—but Curry’s Liver Compound to clean it off and put you in a shape again try it. A Reported Reconciliation. It is understood in Atlanta that the railroad syndicate have forced certain ed itors in the State to kiss and “make up.” The scene is represented thusly: Two naughty boys had for some months been making it unpleasant for each other and their respective families. They were like bull-dogs in temper, and had to be watched to be kept from shooting each other; but, it was also remarked by out siders that they shot oftener at each oth er when neither was in sight, and run away the faster when an encounter was imminent. Finally the daddies con cluded to “conquer a peace.” Both dad dies were well agreed, so they caught the chaps one day—when both were skedad dling out of reach of a duel—brought them face to face, and made them kiss and make up. If this is true the railroad syndicate can now devote its whole time to the Georgia Legislature—they can now move forward to subjugate the tax-payers who are not railroaders—they can now turn both batteries on an outraged public— they can now bring up the two naughty boys to a place when one editorial will do for both, and the same policy will be carried out, without the neces ! i, of a standing guard to preve“ .. uuel. Wales Wynton will be and all the good people of the two cities will either have to go into railroad slavery or get no pub lic opinions from the press on their side. In the meanwhile the naughty boys are much pleased at the “money-moon” that they are now enjoying. They were both sick of watching for an attack at home, and of being afraid to circulate up and down the Central road. They coalesce like two dew-drops; they blossom sweet ly on one stem; they coo from the same pigeon-house; and they crow from the same roost. Just Suppose If it should be known who paid the money that Victor Newcomb was credit ed with? If it should be shown by General Alex ander’s statement to a Georgian that the Attorney’s name “never appeared on the L. & N.’s books for a dollar?” If it should be shown that the first $7,000 that “relieved present necessities” went from Atlanta passed through the L. & N. office to the party selling out? If it can be shown why Cyrus W. Field was able to send a solid Democratic delegation to Cincinnati from Georgia for Judge Field ? If it can be shown who betrayed the secrets, although all hands were sworn on a Bible (in the ears) to keep them? If it can be shown that certain cipher dispatches that went from Nashville to New York were handled freely, and shown freely, and were copied to be shown hereafter, if certain facts came to the public ? If it can be shown that these dispatches do not tally with the explanation made in public speeches? If it can be slxjwn that a rosy Georgia ex-Judge talked it all over up-stairs in Castle Garden, New York city, with in terested parties, which was overheard? In vino veritas. If it can be shown how long they hag gled, and ho-.v the price increased day by day, what then ? If it can be shown that poor Victor Newcomb was watched day by day in New York to blind his eyes, and for be ing a cuckold was deposed by the rail road ? If it can be shown what the Georgia Pacific charter really stood for in Wall street and in the Senate ? Ji.dge Wright,of Rome, writes: “The hands of Dr. F. in the Legislature ought to be ‘held up.’ The failure of the peo ple to sustain patriotic men in great eflbrts to sustain principles necessary to liberty, and therefore immortal, is one of the great evils of the day. * * The Doctor’s effort on the railroad bill was certainly eloquent, because it was on the side of mercy and truth. 11 is speech on the convict bill brought many a tear to the heart of humanity. The common people begin to know what they have believed for a long time—that his sym pathies are all with them. Our great railroad was probably saved from sale or another lease by his noble effort. An other lease! Everybody knows that the lessees are making millions out of it for themselves, while poor Georgia is still millions in debt. Would it be impossi ble to get an honest Governor to run that enterprise honestly ! What a spec tacle ! A people overwhelmingly in debt, labor burdened with taxation until there are six suicides since the war to one before, our poor-houses full and thousands outside, and yet this great public work in the hands of outsiders, mostly, and they reaping millions from it, and building up colossal fortunes. One feel3 like the honest appostle when the city refused the Saviour its hospital ity ‘calling down fire from heaven.’ ” They say Felton is an “old demagogue.” Dr. Felton knows that when the little hirelings of the railroads call him a dema gogue he has carried some thrust to the “red,” and the “petty thief” who makes it is conscious of his own guilt.

Sometime in the month of May, in the year 1880, there were gathered in New York city, a crowd of politicians —some editors, one legal gentleman and one other person connected directly with one of the editors. Some carried their wives, some were unattended. A person, who prefers to be called Cato, happened to be in the city at the same time on some political business. Asa republican lie became much interested in the aforesaid group, though they were not at that time, and are still unacquaint ed with him. But, perhaps Cato can tell his story better than the writer, and therefore Cato shall tell it. Said Cato, “1 was much interested in Mr. Blaine for the nomination that was set for the first week in June. As an Ohio man 1 could see my way tole>-' l>ly clear to a goodthin ,r e . ue if Blaine was nominated- I Knew wo could carry the North’. est for him, but Grant was the ’\-pular choice of the Northeast and very strong in the South. We all knew that he would carry every southern State, if Sherman did not divide it with him, [Sherman had pledged all the treasury officers to himself; and there was many a one.] But we knew, and so did Blaine, that he could not raise a large following in the North where Grant was so strong, and we held some councils in the office of Thos. L. James—who had come over se cretly to Blaine to go in Blaine’s cabinet. Cyrus W. Field was another Blaine man, but Cyrus had a great desire to see his brother Justice Field made President l)j r the Democrats. Field and James adopt ed a plan that they thought would work, and as it is now a matter of history, 1 can tell you, reserving from the public only my real name. Besides, I am dis gusted at the duplicity of the creatures we traded with and paid, and like my old friend, Chas. L. Frost, who died some years ago, I have been thrown much with politicians, but nothing like their greed for money has ever fallen under iny notice. My experience has taught me the risk of dealing with certain southern Democrats, so designated, in that “ Blame-Field ” combination. James, who acted for Blaine, and Cyrus, who acted for his brother Judge, were “let into” it about as deep as they could well be, and the open treason of these creatures last year, when Blaine was ac tually the Presidential candidate and ful ly’ relying upon them, has disgusted some people enough to talk it out. I was nev er fooled. I followed close behind, and I kept my private detectives on the track when I slept or ate, and I have not been quiet since that time in my researches, and I have the story complete. We re publicans—or some of us—entered into the combination with much distrust, but James and Field assured us the trade would “stick.” It was agreed to get Blaine delegates in all the Southern States, either at the State conventions or after thev reached Chicago. If Grant oarried the Republican convention (which was thought possible) we were to turn our whole influence to Justice Field, and make him President by independent votes —just as Cleveland was elected in 1884. Field was to give us the offices, and if Blaine made the race he was to do likewise. If Blaine or Blaine’s friend Garfield secured the nomination Field’s friends were to retire quietly—after com plimenting him at the Democratic con vention. Garfield and Blaine well un derstood each other, and Sherman had been so lofty and persistent in cutting Garfield out of the Ohio patronage that we knew how much strength we could control at Chicago—against Sherman. Besides, Garfield was too weak a man to resist Blaine’s strong nature. Blaine al ways mastered him while botii were in Congress together, and we were sur prised to see John Sherman so blind as to risk his candidacy in Garfield’s hands — but as Blaine was benefitted we were willing to use the tool for the master. llow to get the Southern votes was the problem—and here the strange story grows interesting to you Southern people.
