McDonough, Ga., Feb. 23, 1894.
It is now announced that Mr. Elling
ton will be the third party candidate
for Governor.
The National Alliance has fixed the
salaries of its president add lecturer at
$3,000 a year each.
Georgia Democracy will never split.
The third party might as well go in its
hole.—Thomasville Advertiser.
lion. E. F Ed wards of Newton coun
ty is being talked of as a candidate for
Congress in the next race in the Fifth
district.
It is confidently announced that the
Seuate will pass the Wilson bill, in
come tax and all, when it votes upon it
shortly.
Forsyth has been prominently claim
ed in the Evans column, but by actual
canvass of the town a few days ago,
two thirds of the voters were fouud
heartily in favor of Atkinson. And
thus the tide continues to turn.
“The Evaus papers are going to un
necessary trouble to prove that the
Populists are opposed to Atkinson.
Atkinson was opposed to the Populi-ts
in 1892, and neither the Populists nor
the people have forgotten it,” pointed
ly remarks the Griffin News.
President Cleveland’s third effort
to appoint a Judge to the United States
Supreme bench was made last Monday
and proved highly satisfactory. This
time he named Senator White of Lou
isana, who was immediately confirmed
by acclamation. It is pronounced a
fine selection, and greatly delights
Southern Democrats.
W. 11. Fleming, ol Richmond, who
was defeated by Mr. Atkinson for
speakei of the house, has come out in
a strong interview for Evans, and cries
out that Mr. Atkinson has had enough
political pieferment already. This is
simply the ludicrous wail of an over
grown baby, and will hurt Fleming
more than it will help Evans.—Griffin
News. i

Last week the Constitution garbled
a letter from a rantai.kenus third
party man to Mr. Atkinson, in order to
conform the document to that paper’s
usual campaigu methods.
Commenting on the Constitution's
action, the editor of the Atlanta Conr
mercial, Mr. 11. M. Blackburn, him
self a staunch Kvans man, makes this
commendable and manly plea for fair
p'ay :
lIKLOW TIIK ItKLT.
The attempt to make it appear that
Mr Atkinson has beeu guilty of au un
seemly act in writing to a liaptist
preacher of Troup couuly, soliciting his
support in the gubertatorial contest, is
one of the most unfair and indefensible
position that have been tuken bj the
unreasonable opponents of this aspiiing
and worthy young Democrat.
We have steady opposed Mr. Atkin
son in his gubernatorial aspiratious, but
we have not, and do not propose to ar
rive at that point where we will delib
erately do him the slightest injustice.
We have read the alleged “sensational
and compromising” letter aud we give
it as our unbiased estimate, that there
is nothing in it to reflect on the church,
or to indicate an abseeuce of a proper
and delicate regard for the ministry.
Below is an exact copy of the much
talked of letter, that was abdressed to
ltev. Mr. Broxtou :
“As a public spirited citizen you are
doubtless interested in party and state
matters. My friend, our Baptist pas
tor, Dr. J. 11. Hail, who is interested
in my success in the gubernatorial cou
test, suggests that I ask your support.
Your tjuiet influence uud verbal ex
pression in my behalf in your town
and county will be valuable to me, and
when iu my power to serve you, com
mand me. Trusting to hear from
you, I am jours with esteem, etc.”
There is iu the above, absolutely no
reflection on the person addressed or his
calling, certainly nothing to call forth
the vicious and unmannerly reply iu
which Mr. Broxtou says :
“Your party must be in desperate
strains if it has become mcessary for
you to us ■ the power of the church to
boost yourself into the govei uor's chair.
If 1 had no other reasou for withhold
ing my support from you, jour attempt
to enlist all the preachers in your fa
vor would be suflicieut. Such a scheme
is an iusult to the church of God, al
though 1 have not the slightest idea
that you meaut it that way.”
Mr. Atkinson simply made the mis
take of writing to a man, who, though
a minister of the gospel, was not a gen
tleman. lie is a l’eople’s Fartj- bigot 1
who is a? deficient in charity as he is
lackiug in the commonest requirement ■
of courtesy. He admits that he does
not believe that Mr. Atkinson intended I
to reflect on his calling or insult the j
church, and yet condemns the spirit 1
that he exonerates.
It is nothiug short of an outrag.- for
Democratic papers to use such a man
to embarrass and nnsrepresent a Dem ■
oerat who has a! wavs responded euiliu
siaatically to the calls of his party. If
Mr. Atkinson is never guiby of cou
duct more reprehensible than this, be I
may be sufe that he will always meri.
the Confidence and esteem of his parly t
Though favoring General Evans in the
| preseut contest. The Commercial will
not give its quiet sanction to such flag
rant mistreatment of a Democrat who
has done nothing to warrant it. In
defending Mr. Atkinson against unjust
attack, however, this paper recognizes
that it will place itself in the unpleas
ant position of liaviug its loyalty to
General Evans impugned by that Kind
partisan sentiment which can see no
good in anything or anybody that it op
poses.
The Commercial snaps its fingers at
such a sentiment. Jt would rather re
main on good terms with itself, by ad
hering strictly to what it believes to be
right, than to gain the plaudits of the
world, by sacrificing every principle of
common fairness.

Wonders will never cease us long as
