PETERSON, Propr etors. COLUMBUS WASHINGTON, The Dandy Barber. My Lost Old Age. [By a young invalid just before his death.] I'm only nine und twenty, yet. Though young, experience makes me sage, So how on earth can I forget The memory of my lost old age? Of manhood’s prime let others boast. It' comes too late or goes too soon. At times the life I envy most la that of slippered Puntaloon. In days of old, a twelvemonth back, I laughed and quaffed and chaffed my fill, And now, a broken winded licck, I'm weak and worn and faint and ill. Life's opening chapter pleased me well. Too hurriedly 1 turned the page. I spoiled the volume. Who can tell What might have been my lost old age? I lived my life, I had my day, And now—l feel it more and more— The game I have no strength to play Seems better than it seemed of yore. I watch the sport with earnest eyes That gleam with joy before it ends. For plainly I can hear the cries That hail the triumph of my friends. We work so hard, we age so soon, We live so swiftly, one and all, That ere our day be fairly noon The shadows eastward seem to fall. Borne tender light may gild them yet. As yet ’tis not so very cold, And on the whole 1 won’t regret My slender chance of growing old. —W. J. Prows®. New England'. * Wherever thought is deep and strong, Wherever conscience fights with wrong, Wherever manhood dares to die And womanhood is pure and high. On mountain peak or plain or sea, The soul's one cry must ever be, Thank God for old Now England I The warrior’s sword and poet’s pen Are thine to wield, but only when The cause of right demands the blow, When thou wouldst lay proud error low. Then only does thy face of love Grow dark with sternness from above, Oh, grandly great New England 1 For those enslaved in life, in thought, Thy blood, thy tongue, hath freedom bought. The arm of justice in its might, The thrilling voice of truth and right, The patriot ardor, glowing warm With courage calm in battle storm. Are in thy name. New England! —L. W. Smith. A Clever Trick.

MUNN & Cos. 36iE New York Branch Office. 625 F St., Washington, I>. C. DUG LAS, GA. SATURDAY SEPT. 24. 1898. Wilkin so n’ Lett,er. A few days ago Mr. R. G. Dickerson, of Clinch county, a candidate foi st ate senate, declared in a speech that Mr. J. M. Wilkinson, the republican populist candidate for congress in the eleventh district had stated that he would rather see this country run by the negroes than by Bryan democrats. Mr Dickerson added that lie could 1 produce the letter in which Mr. Wil kinson made the assertion. This charge has interferred very much with fusion down in the elev enth. The white populists down there have been waiting to see if the charge against Mr. Wilkinson would be deni ed. But no denial has been made. None could be made. The fusion candidate had made the declaration in writing over his own signature. The Constitution this morning pub lishes the letter in full. No one can apologize for Mr. Wilkinson by saying that the letter lias been garbled or that only extracts are printed. It will Le seen from reading Mr. Wilkinson’s own words that he prefers negro domination to democracy of the Chicago platform variety, a democra cy which was indorsed by more votes than were ever cast in any previous election for any nominee for president. In the eleventh the white populists who have seen the letter have noted that Mr. 'Wilkinson placed business prosperity ahead of white supremacy and decent government. They have noted that he insinuated that a Bryan adminstration would giae five-cent cotton, and McKinley and negro office holders would send it to 7 cents. They have seen the McKinley admin istration and the beginning of negro domination and their cotton is still at 5 cents. Mr. Wilkinson refers to the interest of the banker and the merchant. He would not sacrifice the gold standard for white local government. He ap proves the appointment of nfgroes to office. He said he would rather have the black man’s government and the yellow metal, than the white metal as a money of final payment and a white man’s government. The letter has been circulated the last few days in typewritten copies and The Constitution leceived two copies yesterday lrom different points. It can he safely asserted that the re publication of the letter, which apear ed in The Valdosta Times, August 3, 1897, will create a great sensation in the eleventli district. Hon. W. G. Brantley will discuss it the coming week on the stump and Mr. Wilkinson will have to own or repudiate the opinions he expressed a year ago, when he said that for the future he preferred to ride in the band wagon with Lyon and Rucker. Here is the letter in full: “I see the Bryanized press is charg ing the democrats who refused to sup port the Chicago platform with the responsibility of the Dingley bill, and the appointment of some colored men to official positions in Georgia. I have | no regrets to weep over or apologies to make for the support of McKinlev, “When the Chicago platform was j adopted McKinley’s election was as sured. The sole object of this conven tion, it’s own burning desire, was the humiliation of Mr. Cleveland ; ami in blindly pursuing that one purpose, they brought disgrace and defeat upon the party, The democrats who sup ported the real democratic nominees : —Palmer and Bucicner—and those j who joined the republican party ase i not disappointed at the results. We prefer the Dingley hill, with I soul? colored men in office, to “free j silver, free lumber, free wool and free | rice of Bryanism. “The free riot and anarchy of Alb geldism and tlie free riot of Tillman ism, and will not be driven from onr convc’ions by the criticism of the Bryanite press nor by their appeals to j our prejudice against negroes, i “These colored men helped to de feat Bryan and woiked for the eieet [ ion of McKinley and are eutitled to the rewards of good citizenship We sympathize with the sontiment against negro officeholders, but at the same time we have some regard for the de sires and ambitions of the colored man who is making a gooi I citizen of him self, and the presiden t lias done right in recognizing the val ue of bis services to the country in t'au last cumgaign. After thirty years of effort to keep the negro behind us, we are convinced that the better plan is to Keep ahead of him. lie is not such ad angerous factor in politics as some of o ur democratic boss es would have us hi ilieve, “There is no dan jer of negro domin ation in this country nor of a deluge ol negro office holder: i, but there is much to fear from the d< miination of the gang who exercised a controlling influence over the Chicago convention in the di rection of socialism and anarchv, Gen eral Coxey, Coni ander Debs and Coin Harvey, comniui fistic agitators, whose vocation is disti thing the good order, peace and prosperity of the nation, are princes among i lemocrats. This is the dangerous clement in our country; this is the gang, with that degenerate Alt geld as its leai lers that forced the Chi cago convention to threaten the des truction of on i national judiciary and to condemn 51 r. Cleveland for suppress ing Dcbs’s Ch icago riot in his wild des truction of human life and property. “The people ot Georgia have infinite ly more interest in the good order and the business prosperity of the nation than they lia.ve in the color of the men’s skin who ho Ids the office. “As an al istract proposition we might prefer whit j men, but we cannot afford to sarorifict) our ancient institutions and our financial interest simply to gratify a sentiment or a prejudice, nor can we sfultify ourselves by indorsing a lot of vagaries ye do not believe in or have any respect for. We have already done too much of that kind of voting, but hereafter we are going to vote with tin) party that promises the most and the best opportunities for the ad vancement of our general interest. Which is the better for the farmer, a Bryan administration, with the usual contingency of politicians in office and 5-cent cotton, or a McKinley adminis tration, with some colored men in of fice and 7-cent cotton? Which is better for the lumberman, ifs lumber under Bryan or .$7 lumber under McKinloy ism ? “These are the living questions that follow the farmer to the held, the lum berman to the mill and the merchant to the store. The greatest panic that has passed over this country in half a century was precipitated in 1893 by (he Bryan element of the democratic party. It shook this country from center to circumference for four years like the quivering of an earthquake and the wreck and ruin would have been complete but for that brave aDd honest man, Grover Cleveland. Dur ing this administration cotton was lower than within fi/ty years, lumber cheaper than within the memory of the living, and more financial and in dustrial bankruptcy than in all the history of this country combined However offensive the appointment of colored men may he, when we con teinplatethe scenes of ruin and dit- a c ter that followed fast upon each other from 1893 to 1886, we can never agree for that class of democrats to embarrass and harass another Ameri can administration. You can’t make cotton or lumber on sentiment. You can’t sell goods or borrow money on sentiment. It takes the ‘stuff'to de velop the country and feed the wilY babies. If democrats do not want e -publicans in power and colored men in office, they must indorse just and wise principles. “As long as the parties occupy the positions they do now we will vote the republican ticket. It lias been said that if the democratic party should nominate a ‘yellow dog’ the people of the south would support it, hut this is not trve. There is now an element of independent, thoughtful manhood in Georgia that will not submit any longer to the dictation of the bosses— tlie six-for-a-quarter machine-made statesmen of Georgia. Last year they were forced to the very ugly necessity of cultivating tlie criminal vole of the state; mxt year God alone knows what methods or tricks they will have to adopt. The scheme now is to work the ‘nigger racket’ on the white man; howl lustily against the republican party and the president because he lias appoint ed sonic colored men, and at the same time they are secretly- rejoicing because it gives them an opportunity to raise the cry- of ‘negro domination,’ ply the party lash to the white peo ple and bring repul licauism into dis repute. ‘What fools we moitals be’ who never held an office, and who have no desire or chance of holding one, to run under democratic covery every time the bcsics trot out the cry ‘negro domination,’ in view of the fact that they submitt and to the domination of the All geld, Dob, and Coxey- influence in the last cam paign. ‘The pot can’t call the ket tle black any more.’ If prominent democrats can indorse a colored man with a view of securing places under him for democratic friends in Geor gia, then, I am sure, any white man can afford to vote the republi can ticket, maintain liis self-reaped and esteem and respect of his neigh bors and countrymen. No, Mr. Ed itor, the boys are not going to tum ble to this negro racket ini'- more, and il you have any frendly regard for your pop ocralio companions you will dii them ;i favor by suggesting a spec .jr return to tin decent and ancient democratic faith ol their fathers, as represented by (Cleveland and Carlisle Allen D.
