They Wiggle anil Squirm.
There is great commotion just now
at the State Capital, and those most
perturbed are a few inmate* of the
Capitol itsell. Chief among those
tone retied aie a few understrappers
who see that the ill will of events ap
pears against their demi god, lien Gor
don. The question that agitates their
pure, white souls is, “Will Livingston
oppose Gordon for the Senate ?” The
Alliance sphinx remains as silent on
this subject as the great conebaut non
descript of this naan , who for four
thousand years has hugged the rainless
Egyptian plane, aud who is known to
local reporters as “the great uninter
viewed.’'
Over and often have the frieuds of
Governor Gordon si light, by one means
and another, to ascertain whether or
not Col. Livingston wanted the seuato
rial plum. They have rack,ed their
cunning and fertile brains to draw the
Alliance mammoth into a disovowal of
running for the Senate. Failing in
this, they have attacked his democracy,
and have made many futile efforts to
bring him into political disrepute.
These efforts, thanks to the honesty of
the masses, have fallen as pointless
darts, harmless at the feet of their iu
tended victim. The hue and cry made
against Livingston, as the leader of the
Alliance, tliat he was leading the Alli
ance into a deep and bottomless pitfall,
laid for them by scheming Alliance
leaders, and machinations begotten of
republicanism aud liorn a desire to
rule or ruiu. That these chaiges are
false is proven by the manner iu which
the people, the un ter tided, bourbon
democracy, have relegated those colos
sal democratic congiessmen to the un
desirable walks of private life, 1 recause
they bad gotten too big for Alliances
breeches. When nppealod to, by the
masses far help to support the sub
treasury bill, they met with one accord
and denounced tbe pet measure and on
ly hope of tbo farmers for financial re
lief, and treated the farmers as if they
had been so many beggars who had no
voice lu public affairs. These men, el
evated by tbo people, had become their
masters instead of their seivauts ; but
now they have representatives direct
ly from the plowhamlles.
The future of the democracy seems
now to brighten, and the masses who
have Ironic the burdeu of government
for ,\ll these years unrepresented,
promises to be laden with wise and
helpful legislation.
Let not our foruiei lords aud masters
continue the howl, “the Alliance is
against the democratic party, and will
ruin the country.” This is already
kuowu to be the wail of expiring office
seekers who have fattened on the mis
fortunes of their fellow citizens. If the
Alliance of the south is not the Democ
racy, then, pray tell os who is ? The
farmers of the South fought the com
bined world, arrayed in Yankee uni
form, from ’6l to ’65 ; the farmers of
the South voted the straight democrat
ic ticket from '65 to lhh> day of giace;
then if this is not a sufficient test of
their loyalty to democracy they have
no resyect for the opiuious of those
sore heads and marplots who think dif
ferently.
Deafness Can’t Be Cured
ny local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portiou ot the ear.
There is only one wav to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucuous lin -
ing of the Eustachian Tula*. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this lube res
tored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever ; uine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the tnucuons surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caus ;d by Ca
tarrh) that we cannot cure by taking

The Last of the HugKcrniuggers.
‘•There were giants in those days,”
named Huggermuggers.
One by one the proud, autocratic,
democratic congressmen from o’eorgia,
go down before the popular will, llut
a few brief weeks ago the Georgia
delegation, in congress, held a caucus
as to the best method of wbippiug
their refractory Alliance constituents
into line. It was agreed, by one and
all of these wiseacres, that the Alliance
and their leaders were an impertineut
Bet of fellows, clamoring for sjniething
about they knew nothing, and
that the best thing to do was to de
clare against their sub-treasury scheme
aud defeat it and drive the Alliance
from the political arena.
Judge Stewart was the first one of
these Doughty Statesmen to measure
lances with the Alliance forces. The
result of his forh>us attacks on the or
der soon brought down upon him the
uumeasmed condemnation of the yeo-
manry of the sth district. Wilton
county, which was considered the
strongest Stewart county in the dis
trict, was the first to net. Contrary
to all expectation she gave the Alii
artcc champion an overwhelming ma
jority, which so discorr.fitted Judge
Stewart that ho withdrew from the
race, declaring that the clanish ad
hearence of the Alliance to their lead
erg rendered it impossible for a pa
triot (?) to stand up before the ignor
ouoe and ihtolereuce of these latter-
day “Know-uo:biugs.”
A dazzling political star, of the
fourth magnitude, Col. Hilly Hulsey,
of Atlauta, threw himself into the im
inent deadly breach and took np tbe
1 fori m u hope where Judge Stewart bail
thrown it do an, and proclaimed in a
bombastic manifesto, that he would
teach the eratic Alliancemen of tbe
sth district that they should follow
tilindly the leadmship.of God's am joint
er! —the aristocracy. Notwithstanding
this manifesto, one county after anoth
er declared for the Alliance leader,
Col. L. F. Livingston. Col. Hulsey
seeing that he was enveloped by a po
litical cyclone threw up the sponge,
ami unbosomed himself to his wayward
lellow citizens in the numistakahlp
langue of the Irish witness, “I’m sick,
send for Maginnis.” Hear his wail:
Atlanta, Ga., July 29, 1890.
It being manifest that Mr. Livings
tou has received a sufficient number of
votes to secuie his nomination for cou
gress from this district, uud that the
convention soon to assemble will no
doubt confer this high diatijic.ion upon
him, I therefore withdiaw mv an
nouncement as a Candida*! for that of
lice. In prusuing this oeurso I am
moved by a desire to act in harmony
aud accord with the. will of the people
expressed by their ballots, and while I
have opinions of my own t>g to the poli
cy of the democratic party with its
present surroundings and environments
still I am sure I will be pardoned if I
withhold them on this occasion, since
my motives might be misconstrued and
utijust criticisms indulged in. There
fore pretermitting any expression of
opinion, and volunteering no advice as
to the course to be pursued by the
democracy, I fruin the field with
no heart burnings Ht my defeat, and
no bickerings as to the cause thereof.
And now, in conclusion, F desire to
most earnestly and sincerely thank my
friends and the people of this distiict
for the many manifestations of their
kindness and preferences towards me
while in the contest. Whatever my
fortunes may lie, I shall continue to
strive in the future, as I have done in
the past, to merit the good opinion of
my fellow-men.
Very truly and respectfully,
VVm. 11. Hrk.sKY.
To live or not to live is the question
which anmialy confronts the residents
of our low grounds and swampy dis
tricts. Take Cheatham’s Tasteless
Chill Toi.ic.
It Is too latte to Dictate.
There is a disposition on the part of
Governor Goidou’s friends to dictate
to Col. Livingston the proper course to
pursue relative to the senatorsbip.
Col. Livingston, it occurs to us, is
able to paddle his own canoe, and the
gratuitous advice bestowed on him by
Governor Gordon's hcuchiucu is treat
ed, us it should lie, w ith silent con
tempt. The stiring events of the
past few weeks have shown that these
were found in the counsels of Livings
ton’s enemies, and were the head and
frout of his opposition to congressional
preferment. It now'comes with had
grace that they should advise him what
course to pursue as to the senatorial
race. The most sublime effrontery
and cheek yet offered was a “con ft den
tal” letter sent to him by our Alliaucc
Brother Whidby and “inspired by”
his friend, Ju Ige James S. Hook,
lirothcr \\ hid by talks very much like
a man who has been done up at his
own game. The Allusions made to
Col. Livingston will do that gentleman
no harm, but the plantation language
used by Brother Whidby could but
elicit the coudemnaiiou of the demo
cratic voters of the sth district, who
i gave Col. Livingston their tt tdivide 1
support.
\\ e give the malevolent remarks of
our frustrated brother, Whidbv, and
ask our fellow citizens to bear with
him, for wheu the Legislature meets
and chooses Col. Livingston for the
Senate, then the irate brother will
take a tumble to himself and find that
his scurrilous remarks have iuftuenced
uo oue. and have shown h'tn to be a
little fellow whose assauine stupidity
can but elicit their pity, as his re
marks shows that Col. Livingston was
not such a great uinuy after all :
Atlanta, Ga.. August 1, IHHO.
Editor Athens Banner : In your is
sue of the 81st ult., under the head of
4 A sensational letter received by Liv
iugstou, sent from Atlanta under
date of July 30th, is a statement that
Mr. Livingston “had received a letter
and wanted to know who inspired it.”
After pretending to give the sub-taiue i
of the letter this telegram goes on to
say :
“Thu gentleman who mailid him
this letter is hound to secrecy, hull
Livingston expects to discover its au
thor. He knows two people at the
ca| ttol who yesterday knew that the
letter had been sent though he did not i
receive it until to-dav lie knows two
other people who read the letter be
fore it was mailed—at least, that’s
what lie tells me, “aud yet they say” !
he laughed “that Gordon ain't scal
ed.”
As the friend of Livingston and of
Gordon, I wrote him, Livingston, a
private and confidential letter, telling
hitn of the necessity of making sonic
declaration in relation to the senator
ship to prevent the alienation of Got
doti's friend’s from him. 1 wro'e it as
a friend, and in good faith, believing
him to he a gentleman.
In consultation with my friend,
Judge James S. Hook, whose wisdom
aud prudence I havo often sought iu
the past, he drew up a letter iu dupli
cate for Mr. Livingston to sign, set
ting at rest this matter. No living
soul outside of myself, ever saw mv
letter to Livingston before I delivered
it in person July 26th, to Captain Har
ry C. Brown, of the ,Southern Alli
ance Farmer, to deliver to Mr. Liv
ingston. If anybody baa read tbe let
ter since, beside Mr. Livingston, it was
not with my consent. On July 29tli 1
was iu the office qf the Southern Alii
ance Farmer and called Mr. Livings-
ton’s attention to my letter and asked a
reply.
He kuew that 1 wrote the letter to
him, aud 1 have reason to believe that
he knew Judge Hook prepared the pa
per for his signature.
in the intercourse between gentle
men it is usual for them to preserve
inviolate what is communicated to
them in confidence aud hr an act of
friendship. The insinuation as to the
inspiration of the paper is unworthy
even of a demagogue. I make this
plain statement of facts to correct the
impression sought to he made by this
surreptitious telegram and leave an
honest and manly public to judge
whether a man who will betray the
confidence of a gentleman is worthy of
the confidence and trust of the people.

Must be carefully considere I by the
great majority of people, in buying ev

to tbe great middle classes, because it
combines positive ‘economy with great
medicinal power. It is the only medi
cine of which can be truly said “100
doses one dollar,” and a bottle taken
taken according to directions will av
crage to last a month.

Mr. Blaine is constructing a cyclone
cellar
AV ben it is completed and stocked
witlt provisions (not the gift of a Phil
adelpiiia real estate syndicate) he will
get into it and let tbe Administration
shanty take its chances.
Mr. Blaine can see between the
rounds of a ladder, and some other em
inent Republicans cannot. He sees
that with Mchfinleyi in the chart room
laying out a course through a region of
reefs and shoals marked ‘highly dan
gerous,” and Reed on the bridge riny
ing four Indls every few minutes ami
remarking that the faster she went the
sooner she’d get out of danger and
Lodge jamming hams and tu.'peutine
into the furnaces, the Republican par
ty is making a bee line for destruction
and—dropping the prairie metaphor
with which we begun, and completing
the marine figure--he intends to take
care of himself, lie has put his He
proserver on, and he is arranging to get
possession of a small Imat in which he
will cast off Indore the catastrophe
comes.
Mr. Blaine se,*4 that Speaker Reed’s
usurption of power is indefensible and
will prove unpopular; that Reed’s
parliamentary procedure is favorable
for all the had and extravagant legisla
tion, an! an obstruction in the way of
all sound and economical and conserva
tive action, and while Mr Blaine has
never been distinguished for his con
servatism he knows when the people
have had enough and he doesn’t intend
to make the mistake that some of the
South Carolina carpet-baggers made
when they flattered themselves that
these was four more years of good
stealing.
Mr. Blaine sees that the McKinley
b’ll, increasing the power ami profits
ol the sugar, glass, Meet beams, linseed
oil, starch and other trusts, and lend
ing to increase the difficulty of selling
our surplus of farm produce, will he
repudiated by the people as soon as it
is tried, and probably before it gets a
chance to be tried, and so he has lashed
the life preserver of South American
reciprocity around his chest, ami
when the political waves close forever
over several other heads, including one
obscured by his gfrandfnther’s bat, one
which Contains a laid eye, and one
which contains a full quorum of- male
volent but intensely active brains, the
bead and shoulders ol -lames Gillspie
Blaine will be riding tbe flo )d like one
of Mother Carey’s chickens, ami the
Republican party will lie invited to re
turn to the only and original Uicobs, if
it wants a leader.
Mr. Blaine sees a few other things.
He sees that the President regards him
with that jealousy which mediocrity
and obscurity always feel for brilliance
and popularity. Bismatck was greater
than the throne, and the little hoy on
the throne hail to get rid of Bismarck.
Blaine is bigger than the Presidency,
and the fact is galling to the gentleman
wiio is known half the time as the
grandsou of his grandfather, and the
other half as the grandfather of his
grandson. The intermediate term be
tween General William lleury Harri
son ami Baby McKee, who seems to
think the Presidency of the United
Stales is a free lunch route, has made
no friends, outlined no policy for his
party, turned the Federal patronage
over to his family and his few personal
adherents, denied Mr. Blaine the usual
privileges of.a Secretary of State, aud
lias finally instructed the revenue cut
ters iu Behring Sea to make war on
English vessels while Mr. Blaine was
negotiatihg regarding Behring Sea
witlt the English Minister. These
instructions were subsequently suspen
ded, but only after they had been pub
lished, after they 1 ad drawn a pointed
threat from the Britisn Government,
aud after they had put Mr. Blaine iu
the position of apparent double deal
ing.
Mr. Blaine knew that the only
way of settling the Berhing Sea con
troversy was by an international agree
ment for a close season during the
breeding time. This was Mr. Bayard’s
policy and one iu accordance with
which he would have reached a perma
nent settlement had not the Canadians
insisted on mixing up the mackerel
fisheries with tlie Behring Sea ques
tion.
1 he President having put his oar in
and made a mess of the thing. Air.
Blaine’s friend Mr. Hitt offered a rego
lution calling for the papers in the
case. This call the President is slow,
but not unaccountahl v slow, in comply
ing with.
Mr. Blaine is preparing his small
boat, aud he will take to it before the
incompetency of Harrison and the
recklessness of Reed, McKinley and
Lodge wreck the Republican ship
National Democrat.

Four days have elapsed since the
supreme cou.it refused to grunt Tom
\\ oolfolk a new trial, and vet no
move has I teen made toward uniting
•an appeal of the case to the great court
of the nation. The majority of Ms
con lawyers do not Irelievc an attempt
will be made in that direction.
M jor A 0. Bacon, the law puituer
of Colonel Rutherford, whose name
has been so closely linked all along
with tt.is case, was not very comnmni
cative when interviewed about it Yes-
terday.
“I don't know anything about it,”
said he. “and I wish you wouldn’t ask
me anything about it. I have been
asked more questions in regard to it
already than i like. I can't get on a
street car, or walk oui anywhere with
out being asked a lot i f questions about
what will be done with Wool folk. The
fact is, I can't tell a thing about it.
Mr. Rutherford is in Mew York, or
away off somewhere, and 1 have no
more idea as to his intended movements
than you have.” Wi h that the suave
major fettled down to a volume of late
supreme court leports with an earnest
ness which showed that conversation
was at an end.

For awhile, after lie hen d that the su

the grea’ criminal tried to put on a
bold fiont, and spent a considerable
part of his time in singing hue songs
and Sunday school hymns, and was
more communicative with his guards
than he was ever known to before.
Yesterday, however, he grew moody
and silently, and hit' steady hut rather
jerk tread could he heard all the morn
ing as he paced in his cell to and tro.
During the afternoon he sent for
Nat Birdsong, the jailer, saying that
he had something to tell him.
“Im getting tired of this here busi
ness,” were Wool folk's first wards,
which were spoken with a desperate
smile alxmt his pale lips as the jailer
approached him.
“I’d just as live be dead as to be in
this suspense. I’m going to wrbe to
Judge Miller and ask him to sentence
me as quick as he can, and have the
thing over.
“But I want to tell you right now,
that I ain’t going to confess nothing,
because I ain't done nothing to confess
about, because lam innocent. I'll
stick to that. I tell you. I didn’t do
that killing. If I was guilty, I would
have been crazy long before this, witli

prayed tJod Almighty to give me

it is said that Judge Miller cannot
pass the sentence of death on Woolfolk,
as he is disqualified from it by having
