WHERE THEY STAND.
Tlio primary election takes place next
Wednewlai; there are six candidates to
illl three aldermanlo places in the city
government, and a selection rauit be
made.
Amerlun,' tax rate last year was 1.45,
orwitliiu flvo per cent, of the limit fixed
by law.
This year the council has fixed the
rate nt 1.20, although the commission
who lately investigated tho city’s finan
cial affairs reported that In their opinion
the rate need not exeeed one per cent
It will be noted in the interviews with
certain of the candidates that they seem
to think they have met tbo requirements
of the situation when they are “oppoeed
to raising the rate of taxation." liais
ing what rate? The rate of 1 45 of laat
year, or the rate of 1.20 this year, or
going above the 1.00 regarded by the
commission as ample? This answer Is
not sufficiently explicit. The taxpayer*
want the rato reduced below 1.20, Many
want it made as low as It can be, to
raise the amount needed for the oxpenscs
of the city government economically
administered.
The,candidates who stand on this plat
form will be likely to get the majority
of the rate next Wednesday.
Americus is in favofc of progress; but
right now It may be safely said it la that
degree of progress which can be effected
with a rate of taxation not above one per
cent., and Wedneiday’s primary will de
termlne whether the people do' dot con
sider a low tax rate the winning card In
the band of progress that la to be played
in 1802.
THB THIRD PARTY IN GEORGIA.
Wbalever may heretofore have been
the status of Editor Gantt, in the
opinion of the publio on the third party
issue, the following editorial from this
week's Southern Alliance Farmer seems
to conviot him fully to the new depar
ture.
Under the head of “Democratic Deg
radation” be says:
“If you would throw a ton of iplecao
Into hades, It would not vomit forth
more treachery, hypocrisy and corrup
tion than are found among the leaden
of the two old parties. The Republi
cans have sold themselves to the pro
tected manufacturers, and the Demo
crats belong to the gold bugs of Wall
street. Both parties are striving for the
tame end—the enslavement of the toil
ing millions for the enrichment of the
favored few; and as was conclusively
shown in the western elections, it It be-
comes necessary to overthrow and eruab
the political power of the people, these
old enemies will bury past differences,
combine their forces, and unite upon
and support one ticket.
BURDENSOME TAXES.
REDACTION OF THE TAX RATE THE
VITAL I8SUE.
What the Candidate, Have to Say—Some
Favor a Reduction of th. Tax Bate and
Some Dodge—Dr. Burt Steade Fiat-
Footed Agaln.t Asphalt Pavements.
The time is ripe now for ripples on
the political surface, as so far, the can
didates have been on a still bunt Two
tickets are in the Held, but no one short
of a prophet can fortell the fate of
either The two tickets comprise
Messrs. A. C. Bell, II. D. Watts, G. T.
Miller, W P. Burt, L. J. Blalock and J.
L. Adderton.
The people have become anxious to
know just where the candidates stand,
especially in questions affecting the fi
nances of the city and taxation, and The
Times Recorder haa Interviewed sev
eral gentlemen whose names are before
the people, and the result is herewith

“In the hatred of politicians and plu-js’,1" hl ' round * ye^rday a Times-Re-
All the Georgia paper* are in accord
with Tine Timks-Recordbr on the ques
tion of the need of manufacturing In-
dnitrie* to build up a city, and the Daw
son New*. supplements this with some
sensible views about tho size of farms
It says: “When tbo average size of
farm* In Georgia Is brought down to one
hundred scree, or the average of the en
tire country, then, and not until then,
will the State be in a fair way to become
as wealthy as nature plainly Intended
she should bo, Too little manufactur
ing and too much unprofitable land hold
Inga are the brakes that now retard her
progress In a material sense.”
Refxbbixo to the question of dissen
sion* among the Alliance leader* as de*
veloped at the recent Indianapolis con
vention, Editor Gannt lays: “But even
were our leader* at the dagger’s point,
and had ■ regular Kilkenny fight, it
would have no effeet whatever on the
Alliance as an organisation. If onr
leaders want to wrangle and fight among
themselvea they ean do so. The rank
and file of onr memberehip have their
•yes let upon the platform of their
order, and don’t propose to swerve
either to the right or to the left.”
Tor Mayor and city oonncll of Albany
have "vetoed” tho play of the female
minstrel troupe that was billed for to
night; and the chief of police was In
structed to tear down the sensational
and too briefly clad show bills and stop
the play. These sensitive officials no
doubt heard of tbo naughty ballet girl*
of the King Solomon show, and thought
a contingent of them was about to raid
upon the preolncta of their virtuous city,
and so they abut their eye* and fired
them. *
The largeat amount per word over
paid an American writer It said to have
been that received by the late Hoary W.
Grady from the New York Ledger. Mr.
Grady wrote that journal five letter* on
tbo condition of the;South. They aver
aged 1,000 words each and were paid for
at the rate of 20 cents a word. Mr.
Grady dictated the first letter to Ms
stenographer in twenty minutes, thereby
earning $10 n minute, and the letter was
pronounced to be the best of the series.
It is understood throughout the
Southern State* that Senator Stanford U
making* strong effort to beooma the
the nominee of the peopU’e party for
president in 1802. HU land-loan bill
wain strong preliminary bid for the
support of the Farmers’ Alliance, and
the fact that a millionaire weald bo abU
to furnish the “sinews” for a campaign
is favorable to his hopes.
tocrats against the Alliance, all past dif
ferences are forgotten, and enmities of a
third of a century, even fanned by civil
war, are forgotten In mutual hatred of n
struggling people. We see Bourbon
Democrats and radical Republicans
clasping hands across the chasm of Mo
tional hate, and working hand In hand,
In order to defeat the Alliance and re-en-
alave the farmers.
“And we also mc so-called Demo
cratlo (?) organa in Georgia crowing over
the victories (?) their party haa won, and
exulting over the downfall (?) of the A!
banco; and yet not one of these papers,
has had the self-respect, manhood and
fairness to expreM and condemn the
unholy and Infamous coalitions their
party ha* formed with. Republicans.
“Brother Alllaoeemen, what dcea this
show? Why it ahows that the Demo
cratic press of Georgia Are eon-
doners of and sympathizers with this
villainous conspiracy, and that they
had rather see the Republican party
triumph than the people I Socretly they
gloat over the degrading ends to which
their party has stooped to overthrow
and discourage the alliance movement,
and if It beeomes necessary to defeat ua
they will join hands with the Republi
can* In Georgia In 1892.
“After reading this story of shame
from Kansas, do you now (m1 a pride in
being called it Democrat? Study that
record, and then tell ua what la the dif
ference between the two old parties?
The Democrats tiave joined foroes with
the Republicans to defeat the Alliance,
and lost light of the tasuei that divided
them so long. Tho truth la, that the
leaders of both parties have become to
vile and corrupt, and are so linked to
gether by Mlfialioeas and greed, that It
will take a first-class political chemist
to separate them,
■ If you call that erowd of ilblitieal
amalgamators In Kansas, and the blgh-
klckers who brought out Dr. Felton,

of Ameriens bo beat promoted by a high
rate and liberal expenditures for publio

deb reporter dropped in on Dr. Burt
MA broached the aldermanlc race and
his attitude on various vital issues that
the people are Interested In.
“Well,” said the doctor, “I am not
worrying myself much about the race,
but I am willing to answer your ques
tions
“If the people should sm proper to
nominate and sleet me alderman I shall
favor strlotest economy In the expendi
ture of all publio money. The curtail
ment of «U expenses that would not re
tard the advancement of our eity's
prosperity.
“I am unalterably opposed to any im
mediate negotiations to pave the streets
of the city. The efforts of the next
oouneil In my opinion should be directed
to reduction of the rate of taxatioo, If
found practicable rather than to making
paving contracts that would materially
increase taxes ”
Captain Adderton was the next gontle-
man approached, anil in tho course of
his remarks he said:
“I am hoartily in favor of anything
that redounds to the interest* of Amer
icas. |
“What about the present tax rate?”
“Well, I think that taxes are wrung
from the aweat of the brow of the labor
ing olaas, aa a general rule, and the bur
den should be lightened as maob as is
equitable and just.”
“Are you In favor of Mphalt pave
ments?”
“I am in favor of anything that re
dounds to the prosperity of Americui.
In favor of all public Improvements that
will insure to us material advancement.
Hy record as a publio man la known and
the people are familiar with my attitude
on all economic questions.”
Mr. Watt* was sren and said unequivo
cally that he wai not. only opposed to
any measures that would Increase the
tax rate but la t in favor of a reduetlon.
That he was for Amerieu* first and lMt,
and that her growth and prosperity
should be the primary qim of her citi
zens.
“Are you in favor of street paving?”
“With tho lights now before me, and
while the tax rate It as high at $1 20 I
do not favor such expenditure.
“When our rato of taxation la reduced
the people will then feel more like mak
ing Improvement* and I will favor whst-
aver the people want”
Mr. Bell was abaant daring the day
and eaught by the reporter last night at
Ms home, where he was called up over
the phone to answer the following ques
tions
“Are you In favor of a redaction of the
prerent rate of taxation?"
“Everybody know* that I am oonaerv
at] re, neither extravagant or niggardly,
and I am in favor of progress.”
“Are yon In favor of paving the
street* ?”
“I don't know so well about that; we
can afford to go slow yet awMIe on tneh
as that, and wMle I would favor all Im
provement* that the people are able to
stand, .that ia a question which can afford
to wait.”
