Hon. Joseph M. Terrell addressed a
great audience at Stone Mountain Sat

trumpets re-invited me to meet him
in what he is pleased to term a joint
debate It was now written ,by him,
in my opinion, for any other purpose
thau to parade before the public the
fact that in his opinon no one could
stand before his donghty sword.
“Ihe object of that letter was un
doubtedly accomplished by the time I
had received it, for it made its ap
pearance in the public prints at the
same time. To that letter I'have
neither made a reply through the mail
or in the public prints, nor do I intend
to do so.
“It was well known to this candidate
long before this letter was written that
the experience of the past had demon
strated that personal discussion be
tween candidates for the Democratic
nomination was productive of no good
either to the party or the people, and
that such discussion would necessarily
degenerate into mere personal criti
cism and personal abase, and I appeal
to the reopie of Georgia to answer the
question whether my judgment on this
point is not borne out by the present
sitnation.
“Dirty circulars have been issued and
scattered over the state. Insignificant
scribblers for the want of something
better to do haTe flooded the press
with communications.
"In a great measure these circulars
and these communications deal not in
political, but personal matters. They
have not been furnished to demonstrate I
any trutli.bat to misrepresent and dis
tort the facts, and even the letter to
which I refer contains reflection on my
moral and menial manhood. It may
not bo that this candidate understands
her from that State, and he has bsen
succeeded by a Democrat. The chances
are that when Delaware, which is now
unrepresented in the Senate, elects
Senators, they will both be Democrats,
while it is more than probable that
McComas, of Maryland, will be sue
ceeded by a Democrat, though his
term does no expire until 1905.
The Senate is new composed of
Republicans and 38 Democrats, with
two vacancies.

Congress the terms of HO Senators ex

12 tf whom are Democrats. Of these
the 'Republicans will certainly lose
three—Deboe, of Kentucky; Pritchard,
of North Carolina, and Wellington, of
Maryland. The chances are favorable
to the Republicans electing snceessors
to Harris, of Kansas; Iiawlins,of Utah,
and Tomer, of Washington. The next
Senate will nnqnestionably be Repub
lican, bnt there is promise of a reduced
majority.
There is a good fighting chance for
the Democrats to capture the Honeo

GEORGIA IS FOR STEVENS.
A Sandersville dispatch to the Macon
Telegraph says that Hon. Joe Terrell
and Rev. Walker Lewis met on a rail
road train a few days ago, and a spirit
ed, good natored controversy eu
sued which was enjoyed by a num
ber of paaseugera on the train, who
gathered in the aisle to hear what
passed between them, inasmuch as it
had been reported iu the newspapers
that on the Sunday before the preacher
had used a Macon pulpit to advocate
the election of Terrell’s opponeut. “I
have no quarrel with the Lewis fain
Uy,” said Mr. Terrell, good-naturedly,
“becanse most of them are my good
friends end arc for me, but there is one
thing that I do object to, end that it
yon are fighting me in this campaign
seven days iu a week, and I cannot
fight back bnt iu six.” This little pas
sage created <pme a laugh at the ex-
pense of the minister.
FAVORS ELECTION OF TE&RF.LL
The Times Recorder favors the nom
ination of Mr. Terrell and confidently
looks forward to his nomination. In
oar judgment he is the heat equipped
man for the position, and the people
cannot err in giving their support.
Hia success in life ta a tribute to his
ability. He is a self male man, who
has been faithful to every trust im
posed on him. His service for ten
years as attorney general ha9 given
him an experience in state affairs that
will stand him well in hand as our
governor.
Aa to his plsttorm, it is a straightfor
ward, conservative statement, in line
with the beat interests of the state,
clearly democratio in all its utterances
and commending itself to the people as
an able document.
Mr. Terrell’s service* to the demo
cratic party have been conspicuous,and
the party shall not fail to give him the
preferment he asks.
the distinction between legitimate crit
icism and personal abase. I infer that
he does not, becanse of his apparent
surprise at the action of Gen. Evans
and the other members of the prison
commission iu resenting charges which
he seems recenty to havo made against
that bode.”
The truth is, if this candidate can
propetly draw a distinction between
criticism and abuse, he is only consist
ent in his inconsistency. He has thun
dered denunciations against Democrats
in this state until it would almost seem
that he was opposed to that party, nor
has he in days gone by been chary in
his denunciations of the Fopnlist party
and ita platform of principles.
Candor, however, compels me to say
that we have heard but little of this de
nunciation of the Populist party for
the last few months, he it is really
difllcnlt to ascertain what this candi
date really wants, outside of own per
sonal success. If he favors anybody
else, or wishes to accomplish anything
else in the way in which it is under
stood by other people, I am not aware
of it. Anil this violeut desire for a
hand-to-hand combat betrays nothing
more than a morbid self-esteem to pose
as an object of injured innocence. He
knows, I know, you know, and the
peop'e of Georgia know from experi
ence that joint debates between the
candidates for the party nomination
are destructive of pariy unity and
party harmony, because the final result
of such is and rnnst be personal crit
icism aud abase.
“I call upon the people towitniss
that I have made every effort to con
duct my campaign in a different man
ner altogether, and if, smarting under
tannts and indignant at the abnse and
nnjnst personal criticisms I have once
or twice exhibited feeling and pointed
out the fact that this immaculate can
didate is not what he professes or be
lieves himself to be, the circamstancen
will excuse me, and the verdict of a
fair people will acquit me of a desire
to bring personal matters into tbis
campaign.
“I wish my candidacy to be address
ed to the jndgmeut of the voters of
Georgia upon my own merits, and to
ask that in reaching that judgment the
people be not influenced by personal
abuse and malicious rumors circulated
for the purpose of accomplishing the
personal ends of another candidate.
“I have declined to meet this candi
date and engage in billingsgate. I de
cline it again. He knows, and the peo
ple of Georgia know, that should this
candidate after June 5 attack the Dem
ocratic party he can have as many de
bates with me as will eatiafy the ut
most bounds of bis vanity.”
The farmers aud business men of
Cobb County, the home of Hon. K. T.
Nesbitt, refuse to aid in the support of
Mr. Nesbitt, in his campaign for state
Commissioner of Agriculture on the
grounds of unfitness, and the indica
tions are now that Mr. Nesbitt will re
tire irom the race. The administra
tion of Hon. O. R- Stevens, the pre
sent incumbent, has proven so valuable
to the state that the voters do not in
tend to put iu a man who is in many re
spects unfit for this important position.
When a man enters a campaign and
afterwards finds that hia home connty
is a uuit against him it is time for him
to “get off the roost” without further
ceremony. There is not a man in the
state, however, that could defeat Mr.
Stevens, whose election is now practi
cally secured. Lumpkin, as will all ot
the other conoties in this state, gives
solid cubic-foot vote.— Dahlonega
