» TIE VITAL ISSUE.
A great deal Is being said through¬
out Georgia about the issues involved
in the gubernatorial campaign, but it
seems that the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun has hit the nail on the head when
it treats of the great issue in this cam¬
paign. It says:
“With the State Democratic pri¬
mary than a month off, the gub¬
ernatorial campaign may be said to
have entered upon its last stage.
With the gradual unfolding of the
facts and conditions Involved, it has
become plain that the great issue In¬
volved is a continuation of Demo¬
cratic supremacy and of political
peace In Georgia, with all that these
conditions imply with regard to the
material welfare and prosperity of
the varied business Interests of the
Stale.
“Openly and continually, the pop¬
ulists of the State aiid other enemies
of Democracy are being urged to vote
In the coming Democratic primary,
regardless of the Democratic pledge
that will be printed upon the ticket
and which they will take in voting It.
They are being urged to thus vote in
the Democratic primary and to vote
for Mr. Hoke Smith. The Populists
ure supporting Mr. Smith almost to a
man.- They are very happy over
what they think is the prospect of
doing harm to the party that they
have long cordially hated and viei
ousty toilgiit.
“It is for the Democrat* of the State
to decide whether they will continue
to safeguard the best interests of
Georgia by upholding their party and
its organisation or whether they shall
be overthrown by appeals to prejudice
against corporations and by political
intrigue that seeks to make racial
conditions subserve political pur
poses."
Tom Watson’s Latest.
Chattanooga Times.
The Georgia Gubernatoral cam¬
paign is developing some startling
situations, not the least curious of
which is the announcement that Tom
Watson, the radical populist, editor
of Watson’s magazine, is to appear
on the stump in the interests of the
Hon. Hoke Hmith’s candidacy as a
regular Democrat Mr. Watson has
been for many years the most violent
enemy organized Democracy has ever
had and he has assailed it and all its
leaders In the most virulent and de¬
nunciator)’ language. During the
progress of the gubernatorial cam¬
paign the Hon. Clark Howell, the
chief opponent of Mr. Smith, has re¬
ceived the support of the party orga¬
nization and a very active rebellion
among Mr. Smith’s support was
started because of Watson’s attitude.
Mr. C. R. Pendleton, of the Macon
Telegraph, one of the most ablest and
strongest editors on the Georgia press,
the other day gave Watson a merci¬
less trouncing, showing from the
man’s own past speeches and writings
that he was a hypocrite and a dema¬
gogue; Insincere, vindictive, inconsis¬
tent, a trimmer and everything that
was injurious and hurtflil to the peo¬
ple. The fight thus made on him
has galled Watson anil nagged him
OTitii he is willing to apostatize any¬
thing he lias ever said or done to get
back at his political enemies- He is
therefore to pose as a “Democrat” and
will shortly make a speech to that ef¬
fect
The lesson of this is one in which
the masses of the people are interest¬
ed and one they ought to learn by
note. The politician of the Watson
type prospers and thrives on popular
ignorance, prejudice and credulity.
He Is himself a close student of hum¬
an nature, a graduate of the school of
demagogy and a political pharisee
with an amplitude of guile. He de¬
pends upon the guillibility of the i>eo-
. ple for sustenance and, because h^indi they’
'
cated, . he usually „ gets . it. .. When „
ol the people shall begin to
public men to a rigid account
their past acts and utterances and
to be played upon by the politl-
2ZZ&Zf£Z .1
of whioh they complain be at
Every thinking man In Oeor-
knows that Tom Watson hates
Democratic party as he hates
and that, his present appear¬
in the campaign is clue solely
simply to an lll-coneealed design
embarrass its organisation and ulti¬
if he can through the aid ol
Smith propaganda, break It up.
yet we are told lots of good Dem¬
in Georgtelare preparing to wel¬
Watson lack to the fold and
he Is likely to become a force
In Georgia politics. The peo¬
of that State have not learned
lesson and probably will not
It until it Is too late.
What Would Ha Dot
Columbus Enquirer-Bun.
By the required three-fourths ma¬
the Georgia House passed yes¬
terday a bill providing that Georgia
widows of Confederate veterans who
were married at any time prior to
1870 shall be placed upen the State’s
pension list The present law pro¬
vides that only widows of Confeder¬
ate soldiers who were married before
or during the war are entitled to re¬
ceive pension. If the House bill be¬
comes a law, as it probably will, it
will give a small measure of aid to
many deserving widows.
If a man, who as secretary of the
interior had discharged from her place
as a “skilled laborer’’ the Georgia
widow of a Confederate soldier, refus¬
ed her an interview at his office and
had her turned from the door of his
residence by a negro lackey, had, as
governor, such a bill under consider¬
ation, it Is interesting to speculate as
to whether he would sign or veto it
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY QIVEN
At Investigation of Chary## Against
Association Officer#.
Atlanta, Aug. 2.—At the Investiga¬
tion of cfaurgaa made by Representa¬
tive Anderson, of Savannah, agalnsl
officers of the Southern Cotton asso¬
ciation, the moot sensational evidence
was given last Wednesday afternoon
by Holland Curran, an employe in a
brokers’ company In the cAy.
Mr, Curran got angry, he said, at
the manner in which Secretary Rich¬
ard Cfceaiham acted, and he proceed¬
ed to tell “all he knew” about Mr.
Cheatham’s speculation In cotton.
At one Juncture. Mr. Cheatham con¬
tradicted Mr. Curran and the latter
remarked tSiat he “would see the gen¬
tleman Ialer out In the street.”
Mr. Anderson made pis r.tatement
In the morning and after he had done
so he proceeded to line up his wit¬
nesses, tho most Important of whom
was W. R. Eagan, local manager of
a brokers’ firm.
The room, which was an office of
the Southern'Cotton association, was
well filled all day. The committee
was bent upon getting through as
quickly as possible without stirring up
the Investigation, and three eeselons
were held Wednesday, Just enough
time .being given for meals. The
room whs close and the committee,
along with the spectators and report¬
ers, were very much jaded and worn.
The gist-of the investigation was
that Mr. Cheatham admitted buying
cotton futures, he claimed the pur
chases were made for a friend. Mr.
Fairchild admitted he had bought
stock In a bucket shop and claimed
he was not a salaried,jofficer of tho
association.,.—

Helsingfors, Finland, Wednesday,
Aug. 1.—When a correspondent of the
Associated Press arrived this morn¬
ing from St. Petersburg, the situa¬
tion was practically unchanged. The
mutinous militiamen were still hold¬
ing out, aided by the regment of sap¬
pers and miners which had Joined
them in the mutiny.
Throughout the day an artillery bat¬
tle was fought between the north and
south batteries of the main island
of Sveaborg. From a place of van¬
tage the correspondent was able to
see shells occasionally etrlke the bar¬
racks and fortifications, causing fires
to start up.
The mutineers at that time seemed
to have the upper hand and the Rus¬
sian commander was forced tb flee
with 2.000 loyal infantry to the fur¬
thermost part of the southern section
of the town of Sveaborg. where he
was holding out.
The Sveaborg fortress Is composed
of seven Islands, of which Sandham
Island Is the center. Half of Svea-
borg, with half of Sandham Island,
were< in the hands of the mutineers
with the government forces command¬
ing the other halves of Sandham and
Sveaborg Islands and the whole of
Langborn, Nieholai and Haradkl Isles.
The permanent fortifications on
Svuaborg island were badly damaged
by the shell fire exchange dbetween
the combatants. It Is claimed that
Wie troop* on Harakl Island, the nr ar¬
ea! to this place, could silence the
guns of the mutineers, but the soldier;)
refused to fire on their comrades. , .
The mutinous artillerymen were well
fortified, not only being able to hold
their pooiUon, but seemingly having
the, tippor hand and th# large 11-tnoh
guns In the hands of the government
forces did not saem fo Tuve the slight¬
est effect on the earthworks’ held by
the mutineers, though tho stone and
brick fortifications suffered cotWder-
ably.
The correspondent saw a charge of
government inftnary on Sveaborg
1st amP repulsed by the mutineers. The
Infantry succeeded In creeping up to
to a spot near the Russian church,
keeping well out of sight and finally
they made a rush at the position
held by the mutinous soldiers. But
the attacking party was met by the
fire of machine guns, and they, at once
broke and fled, leaving many dead
and wounded on the ground.
Not Infrequently shells went over
Helsingfors and many bullets fell In
the town, resulting In several persons
being wounded.
Reinforcements of government
troops arrived here this morning, con¬
sisting of two companies of the Fin¬
nish regiment from St. Petersburg.
In conversation with a member ol
the regiment of Rappers and miners
here, the correspondent teamed that
This was not the first trouble In the
rlgment, but was the sequel of many
smaller disturbances.
The sappers and miners on several
prevlou# occasions had refused to obey
orders of their officers. The govern¬
ment commanders expect to be able
to assemble troops tonight on a small
peninsular near the fortifications oc¬
cupied by the mutineers on Sand¬
ham Island, and make an effort to
cross the channel and take the mu-
Ttneers tn front and rear. The tat-
for have but little food left and It
they do not succeed in replenishing
th#tr supplies soon, They will be un¬
able to hold out.
At this writing the firing of big
guns announces that the struggle, af¬
ter a short Interval of cessation, has
recommenced.
Great excitement prevails here.
