well located, finely appointed, ex

handsomely. There are hundreds

look iu vain for such a place when
“a good, square meal,” or order of

Editor Recorder:—
The suggestion I made some days
ago as to a municipal ticket seems
to have been well received, gener
ally. I notice that some Atlanta
lawyers contend, that au alderman
now serving would not be eligible
for the office of mayor for the next
term. I asked a lawyer friend of
mine who said—that in his opinion
the law did not apply to such cases,
it being iutend'ed that no aldermen
could resign and serve as mayor
for the term he was elected as al
derman.
If this Is the cate, and I have no
reason to doubt it, I renew my
proposition that Capt. J. A. Cobb
be elected an our next mayor.
Workingman.
“The Recorderhlt # the nail on
the head when it said that the ne
groes were going lo try and poll a
big vote next month,” said a promi
nent business man yesterday.
“I am iu a position where I see
a great many colored people every
day,” he continued, “and from
suatches of conversations I have
heard now and lhen,l have been
convinced that something was
working in a political way. Al
most every night from fourtoten
prominent negro politicians gather
Tit my storo aud hold long pow
news, interspersed with the usual
number of drinks, and I notice
they are generally paid for by one
man, and he seems to be loaded
with the suiffi”
“Is it always tho same negroes,”
asked the reporter. , *
“Oh, r,o. Almost every nights
neWone drops around. Heisthen
taken off by the boss man, and giv
en a long talk. Then two or three
will get together and after a talk
they \gill take a drink all around.
Frequently I have seen the‘boss
man’ give the other negroes money;
not much, though, a dollar or to,
but it never occurred to me that
they were plotting agsiu-t Crisp. I
thought it more iil^ely that the city
campaign was about to opou. But r
these strange negroes that I see do
hot live in the town. Of that I Am
sure.”
This Is another, pointer for the
Democrats. If they don’t want to
place Judge Crisp in danger, they
had better be doing some work to
get a full vote out.
