McDonough. Ga., Feb. 9. 1894.
In the gubernatorial contest, it is
clearly Atlauta against the Slate.
And the State will show Atlanta which
is the biggest.
General Kvana was doubtless called
to preach. But there is very much
doubt about his being called to the gu
bernatorial chair.
Here is a casual observation from the
editor of the Iriviutoii World:
‘•One-legged privates are usually sta
tioned as watchmen at railroad cross
ings to salute two legged generals as
they drive to their office three times a
day.”
Descending from the sacred pulpit
iuto politics, it seems to us, should be
revolting to any minister of the gospel.
We had much rather see General Ev
ans made a bishop of the Methodist
church than governor of Georgia
That would be an honor in truth,
(and we candidly believe one deserved)
and in keeping with his noble, chosen
line.
The famous Wilson tariff bill was
put before the House last week and
passed with much enthusiasm, by the
handsome majority of sixty four votes.
This is considered by many the greatest
democratic victory up to date, and is
confidently expected to have a power
ful effect for good, to be followed by
much more beneficial legislation. It
makes almost a cieau sweep of the tar
iff, and ouly ten democrats (Eastern
meu, voted against it.
King Politicians.
It has been charged by some of the
Evans papers that Atkinson is the
candidate of ring politicians. But it is
cleaily evident that there is no truth in
the charge. If, on the contrary, there
is such a thing as ring politics in the
State, Atlanta is certainly the hotbed
and headquarters of that element.
And that General Evans has been
brought out more directly by Atlanta
and the Atlanta papers, rather thau by
“the people,” as so loudly claimed,
there is not tho least doubt in our
mind. As an evidence of this fact we
reproduce below two documents receiv
ed by the editor of The Weekly,
within a few days of each other recent
ly. The personal appeal was a stero
tpye production from au apparently
original manuscript, but came through
one of the great Atlauta dailes. The
same thing a'so was received a second
time with the enclosure from the club.
But here are the documents:
Atlanta G a Jan 20 ’O4.
My dear sir
I write to ask your influential sup
port of my candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for the office of
Governor. Ido not wish to set forth
mv own merits but I will say that 1
have faithfully and fully served my
State, my party and my people in peace
and in war. I stand squarely by the
best interests of the people and believe
that they can be preserved through the
piinciples of the Democratic platform.
If elected I will endeavor to be a faith
ful officer for the whole State.
Desiring to hear from you. lam
Sincerely yours.
Clement A Kveaus
Atlanta, Ga., February Ist, 18114.
Dear Sir :
The Fulton Couuty Evaus Com
mittee desire to publish extracts in va
rious papers and campaigu circulars
from the Weekly Press favorable to
the nomination of General Evans, and
they therefore respectfully request you
to send to them marked copies of your
paper of past and future issues contaiu
iug your editorial commendation of
General Fvans. They hope that the
voice of the Press of Georgia will be
come unanimous for this worthy Dem
ocrat. Vour editorials will be duly
credited to you whenever republished.
Hoping to have an immediate response,
we are your fellow Democrats,
Evans Campaign Committee.
Ihe above looks to uk more like
“ring politics" than anything we have
heard of from Mr. Atkiuson.

“It tit A 1,."
Bryans says that I'm ruled out;
Observer says I’m fallen in;
Plowboy wants me dragged about;
To show all Democrats their sin.
But I continue to pursue the even
tenor of my way, holding the fort un
dismayed, unterrified and immovable,
rejoicing in the hope and full assurance
of the complete triumph and lasting
prosperty of the grand old party of the
people, btdeiving, as all enlightned
Democrats do, that it is destined to
absorb all others political ptrtie in this
country, except perhaps a few insign
ificant anti-goverraent faction, anarch
ists etc, and that it will so hold them in
restiaint that the rights and liberties of
the people will not suffer much from
them. Its principles are broad enough
to embrace, and its magnanimity is great
enough to rceive and forgive every one
of its enemies when they will laydown
their arms and surrender, as surrender
they must, sooner or later, for the
Democrats are going to hold the reins
of this government until the internal
ami import trade of the country is as
free as air, and the last vestige of Re
publican cla-s legislation is cased from
the statute books, mouoply is relegated
to a back seat, and equal rights to all
and special privileges to none is the
acknowledged law of the land, prosper
itv flows to all classes autl conditions of
the people as free as the water that
rushes down the mountain s reara.
This condition can ouly be reached by
the united effort of the Democratic par
ty, for were the Third party ever so
willing, it would never be able to ac-
complish any great national good'
Nor do 1 believe that when all this
shall be accomplished by the Democrat
ic party, its mission will be fulfilled
nor its work completed, until all the
empires and momarchies of the waild
shall have crubled and fallen beneath
the weight ot its lib Tty inspiring in
fluence aud countless millions of souls
ol future generations of all nations
shall have risen to bless tho names and
memory of the faithful hetoes of the
present struggle for the freedom which
they will find awaiting tbeu as an in
heritatice from the grand and glori
ous old Democratic party of this coun
try.
Now, I would rather be doorkeeper
in the house of Democracy, than reign
as King in a Third party palace, 1
would choose to suffer reproach with
the friends of good government rather
than enjoy the pleasures of the revolu
tionists for a season. I have long
known tnat I do not belong to either
of the two classes that the Third party
wants, viz : shrewd tricksters to do the
leading and people whoareeasly blind
folded aud let) to do the following and
the special notice from them that I am
not wanted suggests to my mind the
case of the 'rate subscriber who wrote
to an editor, “I don’t want your pa
per any longer,” to which the editor re
plied, "Don’t fret; I would not make
it longer to please you if you did .”
M rs. Rural says that the announce
meat that the Thiid party is able to
take care of itself does not necessarily
mean superior numbers or ability, but
that it may mean that it is so small
that a small force only is required to
care for it. Rubai..

Bill Nye writes a great deal of sense
less trash, but once in a great while be
writes something sensible, as in the fol
lowing : “Go where you will iu this
country and you will bear men talking
about tariff and tax on raw material,
while there was none of that or any
other kind ij their bonnes for weeks,
except as their wives earned it arid
brought it to them The country is full
of men who have thought so bard for
