Eaterc d at tliepoitoflice at McDonough
Ga , bs second-class mail matter.
Payment for legal advertisements
required in advance.
McDonough, Ga., Feb. 2, 1894.
It is said a Wisconsin farmer has
embarked in frog raising for profit, and
it is useless to say he is growing green
backs.
The true exponents of public opin
ion in Georgia are the country news
papers, and it is significant that a de
cided majority of the leading weeklies
have already declared for Atkinson for
governor. No cadidate in the State
ever had a more flattering support than
Mr. Atkinson has received thus far
from the country press.— Newnan
Herald.
It is useless now for us to give any
account of the great prize fight last
week, as it is known everywhere long
ago that the Englishman was smashed
up in three rounds. Had it been some
event really worthy of note, instead of
the meeting of two brutes, it is safe to
say it could not have had one tenth the
wide-interest. Will the world ever
rise above such a degraded level ?
In the last congressional race in the
Fifth district, when the Democracy
most needed aid of the press the Atlan
ta Journal was remarkably silent. In
1892 Fulton county polled “a shameful
ly small Democaatic vote." Now the
Journal is trying to defeat a man for
governor to whose efforts, more than
the efforts of any other man in Georgia
the credit is due for the sweeping vic
tory of last year.—Meriwether Vindi
cator.
We have uo attack whatever to make
on the old soldier sentiment—far from
it. No old soldier has more of it than
the writer —none loves the cause that
created it or the heroes who fought
in that caused more. And that is why
we have written as we have of it—
to do what we could to prevent the
debauchery of that sentiment by drag
ging it into political scrambles. It is
too sacred to be thus used, and the
man who attempts it should receive the
condemnation of old soldiers more than
any one else.—Oglethorpe Echo.
Gen. W. Y. Atkinson.
This distinguished Georgian did not
fight in the war of 1812, nor did he take
a haud in the unpleasantness of the six
ties. Ho was too young to euter
either of these wars. Ilut there was a
war, still fresh in miuds of all Demo
crats, in which he did take part. It
was the war of 1892. At that time
our tim? honored institutions were
threatened by a party whose doctrine
was anarch. Who went forward iu
defense of outr party, our State aud our
institutions ? Was it Rev. C. A. Ev
ans? No, in was not hr. That reverens
gentleman was preaching the good old
Methodist doctrine that we all love so
dearly. It was the Democratic David,
W. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta, who with
his little sling, went upon the field and
killed the Gdiaths of the Third Party,
lie routed the enemy and saved his
State to the Democracy. 111 those hat
ties his ability as a leader was so con
spicuous that he was m ido General of
the Democratic army of Georgia
Now, what are the vetrans of the
war oi 1892 going to do? Are they
going to vote for men who were not
heard of uutil all the battles were
fought and won ? Or will they vote
for Gen. Atkinson, theit old leader and
the hero of 1892.
The News would like to see all the
veterans of the war of 1892 bald a re
union aud honor Gen. Atkinson with
the Governorship of this State. lie
richly deserves it, and there is no Geor
gian who is better prepared to make us
a chief executive. We believe the vet
erans of 1892 will do their whole duty
in this matter. —Lawrenceville News.

telling on the boys that called forth my
criticisms of that paper. Disgust as
many Democrats as you please by send

that it is not the policy of true Demo
crats to desert their colors aud joiu
the enemy simply because they become
disgusted with an individual. They
would more likely set down on the
crank and rally the closer around the
party banner —and I rather they would.

MU. BRYAN
Calls Upon People’s Party Advocates
for it Tutted Rally.
Mr. Editor:—Will you please allow
me space iu your col am us to cell the
attention of advocates of the P. P- to
the fact that there has been a call
from Mr. W. M. Combs, chairman of
tlie executive committee of Henry
county, for a meeting to bald at the
cciiit ground in each and every militia
district in said county on the third Sat
urday, 17lIi day of February, 1894 for
the purpose of electing five men from
the citizens of their respective districts,
to be known as the P. P. Said com
mittees are to elect a chairman for said
committee, then said chairman of said
committees are to constitute a commit
tee for the county, said county commit
tee to be called together at some fu
ture day.
Now gentlemen, I hope every one of
you who possibly can will remember
the day, and will be promptly ou baud
by 10 o’clock a. m. or such hour as
may be fixed in and lor the various dis
tricts, an 1 attend to this matter prompt
ly for all we need now is concert of ac
tion.
Now. to the public generally. We do
not mean this to the people who have
declared for the priciples of the P. P.
in the past aloue. We mean all of the
people who now desire to support true
Jeffersouiau principles, and a true gov
ernment for uud by the people. Now
my fellow citizens, dont stand back be
cause you voted the so called democrat
tc ticket iu tie last campaign. We
know you, aud know that you did it
with true motives, believing that you
were voting that good old time demos
racy, but you were deceived, as we pre
dicted at the titm. Hut you are true
men all the same, and we sympathize,
with you aud beg yuu to come with
us.
Yes, you bad good reasons to believe
that you were votiug for democracy.
Did not every man you heard nuke a
speech in behalf of the Chicago plat
from tell you that the monetary clause
meaut the FREE coinage of silver,
and did we not teil you it did not?
Rut there is no use discussing that mat
ter now. It has been decided by your
supreme counsel; and what did it mean?
Just as we told you, instead of free
coinage, it meaut the demonetizing of
silver entirely aud placing the Sher
man law as it was in 1873, which was
claimed to be the greatest crime of tlie
age. Rut they have not only decided
thai point for you, but have and will
decide all other material poiuts in said
platfrom to be something materially
differeut to what was claimed it meant.
Remember this will you, aud dou’t he
deceived by them any longer. If you
believe in the demonetizing of silver
ami a plotective tariff for the classes
then you are a democrat of to-day. If
you are not, and believe we ought to
have free coinage of silver, tariff for
revenue ouly, edu»l rights to all aud
special privil ges to none, then I say
to you that you are not a democrat of
to day.
Then come out ou the third Satur
day in February and join the puritans,
and lot us miko one more trial to tes
tore that good old gove: - . meet of our
daddies. Come ou, boys, aud help us.
W. H. Rryans.
P. S. -We don't intend this iuvitu
tiou to Mr. Rural. No, no; we have
been persuaded to do as other good and
true people have done by you iu the
past, that is not to bo led astray by
your wild and reckless persuasion
No,no, Mr Rural, we Leg pardon; we
d m't mean you; wo have nude our ar
rangements to gi t along without you.
Iu fact, we don’t want you.

They have done the same thing. We

have the same officers now we had be
fore, and there U not a better set
anywhere than in Henry. Still the
thirds would not vote for them because
they didn’t belong to theii party.

then be a leader of my party. It
seems that he is going wrong again, as
the great majority have stuck to the
