COL. CANDLER AGAIN.
1 " ■ —*
THE INTERPRETATION OF HIS
LETTER IS ERRONEOUS.

•: O-. * '■* • ’ . . .r. .
A Full and Candid Review of the Sit*
> nation Strips His Opponents
of All Guise.
All Georgia is discussing the Ute
letter of Candler, an announced
candidate for Governor, and his ene
mies, th. F ditical trickster, of the
State, toe placing such erroneous and
unwarranted interpretations upon his
utterances as to cause him to feel that
jtisli.ee to himself and truth demands
a Word from him again.
The Call said before this last utter*,
ance of Col. Candler was made that he
was misinterpreted and his letter
below confirms the fact, and
should be impartially read before paejf
ing judgement, by every cit'zen df
Georgia desiring purer and ofeaner
methods in all our elections. The day
has not yet come in Georgia because a
man raises his voice for clean, fair
elections in tbo State shall be tabooed
off the stage by the rirrgeters who have
been in the swim for some months
.It requires a g<£at stretch of Rprecn
ality for awe who voted for and with
these riogatora, honestly and coneci*
entinualy and through different and
worthy promptings, toeieim that they
are strifcttoee aimed at
and intendid/aio<>s lot, the leaders.
Be coneistent.You surely do not feel
worthy to fill the position yon assume
in making yourself fl target and. -pro*
fessing to be wounded. The masses of
Georgia are right on all issues, and
should be allowed to express their con
viclions free and untrammeled, and
not be bulldozed or driven into the
lines of designing politicians who ma
nipulate the affairs of state for per*.
sotpd aggrandizement.
AWay with political ringsters and
let the pe >ple contiol without bias or
prejudice. _
Read what. Col. Candler has to say
and compare his utterances with the
mutterings of the Atlanta political
bosses:
Atlanta, Ga., February 12,1898.
To the People of Georgia:
On my return to my office today from
the sick bed of a near relative, where I had
been for two days, I find a personal letter
written by me several days ago has been
printed and paraded in such a manner as
to make it proper for me to take public
notice of it. The construction attempted
to be put on the letter and the base use
mads of it is both unfair and unwarranted.
That I should have intended to wound
the large number of democrats who hon
estly supported Governor Atkinson when
I had before me thousands of letters from
them urging me to become a candidate for
governor is simply absurd and incredible
to any sensible man. Among these letters
was one from Clarke county, a majority
of the signers of which were staunch sup
porters of Governor Atkinson, and to have
gratuitously offended them would have
been ungracious not to say unpardonable
folly,’"'
Nor have I at any time attacked Gover
nor Atkinson nor his administration. I
wrote the letter under these circumstances.
1 had letters from different parts of the
state and information given me personally
in my office from men whose judgment I
thought was good, saying that in certain
counties in the state an effort would be
made to try and get snap judgment against
me—as they claim had been done in other
campaigns. I knew there were active ef
forts on the part of some astute politicians
here and elsewhere to bring out opposi
tion to me. It was not, therefore, expect
ed by me since my name had been men
tioned as a probable candidate for govern
or that I would be permitted to make the
race without opposition, whatever my de
sire may have been.
I had been well posted as to the various
efforts that have been made to bring out
opposition to me by men who had certain
purposes to observe, and by others who
wanted to put mein a position to be under
obligations to them if I was elected.
I made up my mind when I first consid
ered the question of my candidacy to make
no promises, but to inquire of democrats
throughout the state what they thought of
the suggestion of my candidacy, and in my
letter of inquiry I briefly outlined the
platform I would run on as a candidate
and what the people might expect of me if
elected. I sent these letters all over the
state indiscriminately to supporters of
Governor Atkinson and General Evans,
and if I overlooked any it was those upon
whom I could rely on under any circum
stances if I concluded to announce my
candidacy. I felt deeply flattered at the
replies I received. Among the many let
ters and petitions sent me was a petition
from Clarke county, and after I had fully
deliberated on the subject, I concluded to
answer all theae letters by answering that
petition, which I did—consenting to make
an announcement as a candidate for gov-
I ernor.
On the petition handed me from Clarke
county was many names of those whom I
know were supporters of Governor Atkin
son as against General Evans, and even
men who had opposed me when I was the
democratic nominee for congress from that
district. To suppose that I would be in
discreet enough to intentionally say any
thing publicly or privately to attack those
men who had so honored me, no man
would intimate who has even been ac
quainted with my life.
In private letters that I wrote to inform
the parties to whom they were written of
certain facts, I deemed it proper for them
to know and to inform them that I would
not tolerate in this campaign anything of
the kind of which my correspondents had
given me notice, I was perhaps more spe
cific than would have been necessary had
I not been answering specific complaints
made in the personal letters received by
me, and the language used has been pur
posely perverted to give offense where
none was intended.
It is not my desire to open any old
sores. I want the party harmonious and
united, and this can only be accomplished
through fair and honest methods. I do
not want the o«ce of governor by any
other means, nor do I wish it for any oth
er purposes than to serve the people hon
estly and faithfully. I will certainly not
attempt to interfere with a free expression
off the people’s choice, nor will I, if elect
ed, seek to dictate to them who my succes
sor shall be.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15, 1898.
1 Taxes on Celibacy.
5 A bill to tax bachelors $2 per year
was introduced in the legislature of
} New Jersey recenily. When the bill
[ came up for a second reading a mem
. ber moved as an amendment that the
i words, “and old maids,’’ be inserted in
s tbe instrument wherever it waa necei
t sary to prevent discrimination against
■ male celibates. The amendment pre-
■ vailed, and "old maids’’ was written
' into the bill, which passed to its third
reading.
And, ae a matter of equity and jus
tice, why should not tbe amendment
■ have been passed? All of the old
bachelors are not to blame for their
condition of “single cuesedness.” In a
great many instances they are unmar
ried because of circumstances' over
which they bad no control, and it
would be rank discrimination to tax
them while permitting the old maids
to go free. Suppose that an old bach
elor had become one through the fact
that the girl of bis choice had prom- <
ised to "be a sister to him,” and would (
be nothing more ; would it be right to ;
tax tbe man and let tbe woman off?
Should the men go around advertising
their hearts at bargain sales, and <
throwing in a chromo for lagniappe.in i
order to get married? Should a man .
be mulcted for $2 per year if perchance •
nature had made him modest; too i
modest to pop the question to the girl i
he likes best of them all? Should the i
girl bo relieved from all responsibility,
from all blame if she failed to help him !
along, under such circumstances? |
Rather it would be better if the New !
Jersey legislature should increase the i
number of leap years; make every
year a leap year, and order a St. Vai- '
entine’s day in each month of lbs i
twelve. i
Tbe question arises, how would the
New Jersey bill, as amended, be en
forced if it were to become law? When
does a woman become an old maid?
That question, up to the present time,
has not been satisfactorily answered.
If it were placed in tbe hands of the
tax levying and tax collecting author
ities, it might be difficult to induce 1
peace loving persons to accept those
offices, for obvious reasons.—Savannah

Another Tiger.
At an early hour yesterday morning
Officers Gordon and Phelps scented a
tiger in North Griffin and went in
search.
Nancy Dewberry, a colored woman
who preferred making a living by
selling pop skull to washingor cooking,
was soon pulled and brought before
Judge Beck. She pled guilty and was
promptly fined $25 and all costs, which
she proceeded to pay.

I Talmage and Sam Jones.
Sem Jonea was invited by Dr. Tal
mage to bold a series of revival meet
inga in Brooklyn, says the San Fran
cisca Wave. Tbe revivalist appeared
at l|e Talmage residence on the after
noon of the day on which his engage
ment began and introduced himself.
Mr. Talmage looked him over and was
evidently a little taken aback at tbe
shabby appearance' dfVtbe evangelist.
Ae it approached evepipg he said:
“Brother Jones, would you take it
amieß if I presented you with a new
suit of clothes?” "Certainly not,”
said the accommodating Samuel. He
was-taken to a clothier and fitted from
bead to foot, topping all with a high
bat. At church the doctor introduced
him as Rev. Samuel P. Jones from
Georgia. Mr. Jones arose with his
new hat in band and repeated: “Yes,
Rev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgia,”
and added : “And this is the new suit
of clothes and this tbe new hat your
pastor has presented to me. If your
pastor bad as much of tbe grace of
God in his heart as he has pride he
would convert all Brooklyn and would
not need me.”

A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting well
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.
