McDonough, Ga., June 29. 1894.
A Strong l*lea.
lion. A. 0. Bacon makes a strong
and commendable plea (or democratic
harmony, in declining, through a
friend, to enter a joint discussion with
Hou. L. K. Gerrard for U. S. Senator.
His words, as found below, are worthy
careful consideration :
“As Democrats, recognizing our al
legiance as due by each of us to the
party, with the obligation to do all
within the power of either of us to pro
mote its prosperity and success, it must
be apparent to him, as well as to me
and all other good Democrats, that the
most commanding duty of the hour is to
contribute all within our power to in
sure the harmony of the party and to
avoid everything the natural tendency
and effect of which will be to create
dissensions and discord within its ranks.
A joint discussion between Democrats
at this time, on the eve of our joining
issue in this state with the avowed ene
mies and opponents of the Democratic
party in Georgia, can but widen
breaches within the party which all true
Democrats must unite in the desire to
close.
1 am entirely sure that both you and
Mr. Gerrard will agree with me that
at this particular time the paramount
duty of the hour is to discourage dis
cord and promote harmony within the
party. Upon tho great fundamental
principles, to wit, those affecting the
proper functions of the general govern
ment and the purity of its administra
tion ; those involving the rights of the
states and their powers under individu
al rights of the citizens with tha obliga
tions of the government to the consti
tution ; those relating to the laying
upon him no burden and to exact from
him uo duty except that necessary for
the economical support aud mainto
nance of tho government, aud those
imposing the duty of the government
to dispense its benefits equally to all
and to lay its burdens unequally upon
none—as to these great fundamental
principles which constitute the pillars
and bulwarks of the government thery
's no disagreement among Democrats.
As to the details by which these prin
ciples can be best put into practical ex
ecution there have beeu and are differ
ences among Democrats, hut they are
differences about which Democrats will,
in the near future, with wisdom of
counsel and with moderation in action.
c >me to a safe and harmonious conclu
Biou. The principles of the Democrat
ic party underlie and support the foun
dations of our governmental structure ;
they intimately concern the preservn
tion of the government for the great
purposes and the wise designs of its il
lustrious founders, and upon them are
rested the safeguards of individual lib
erty and the guarantees of the equality
of every citizen in his right to the im
partial enjoyment of all the benefits of
the government.
Those who believe iu these great
fundamental principles may difTer ou a
hundred minor points, but they are
none the less Democratic, and when
the hour ol conflict comes, in my hum
ble judgment, there is but one position
hi which they should be found, and that
is facing the foes of the party. Unless
] am much mistaken in a short time
we will all of us have enough to do
without taking the stump agaiust each
other. The coutests for the party
nominations are drawing rapidly to a
close, and after they are over 1 respect
fully submit there should during the
campaign be no further joint debates
between Democrats. The effort shou'd
be to close up our ranks for the fight,
rather than to divide the party into
hostile and opposing factions.
While, therefore, for these reasons I
decline to enter upon a joint debate
with Mr. Gerrard, I have no desire to
conceal my position on the vital ques
tions of the day, nor to screen myself
from the criticisms of those who may
not agree with me. I therefore state
them, as follows:
1. I believe iu a tariff for revenue
only.
2. I believe in the imposition by the
federal government of an income tax.
3. I believe that the government of!
the l uited States should coin both gold
and silver as the money of final pay
ment, without discrimination against j
either metal, the dollar uuit of coinage !
of which shall be of equal iu*r : usic and 1
exchangeable value.
4. I believe that it is the constitu
tional right of each state to charter !
banks of issue, and that the law im !
posing a tax of 10 per cent, on the is
sues of state banks should be uncondi
tionally repealed.
5. In all other matters not herein set
but I reconsider that my allegiance and
obedience are due to the principles an
nouneed in the Chicago platform of
1892.
G. In addition to the foregoing, I be
lieve that Uuited States senators ought
to be elected by direct vote of the peo
ple.
In this confession of faith is found
my political creed. If in any particu
!ar it is false, any oue can at any time
and upon any occasion as conveniently
attack and expose it as if 1 had been
present and had in person announced
ihe same. If Mr. Gerrard agrees with
me in adhering to these principles and
in favoring measures which will enforce
them, then the only purpose of a joint
debate between us would be to discuss
our personal claims and merits. For
the reasons already given I have no
desire to join in such a discussion. I
think there are ahead of us much
graver and more important matters of
discussion, and am very frank to say
that it is not my wish or purpose to
discuss the merits or demerits either of
myself Or any other gentleman who
may be opposed to me.
There should be emulation between
us; but in my opinion it should be the
noble emulation each to excel the other
in zealous service to the Democratic
party in the opening campaign, in the
effort to heal and harmonize all differ
ences in our ranks aud to unite all
Democrats in the struggle for the sue
cess of the parly in the coming elec
tion. In this noble and patriotic emu
latiou I cordially invite my good friend,
whom you represent, to join me.”
Kre ik'li President Assassinated.
President Carnot, of France, was as
sassinated at Lyons last Sunday ever,
ing while on his way to the theatre by
an Italian anarchist named ('aesure
Giovani Santo. The president had
come to Lyons to attend the opening of
the International Exposition, and was
riding in his carriage to attend a gala
performance to be given at tho theatre
in his honor. The Italian stubbed him
in the breast once and was knocked
down before he could strike again.
The president, died at 12:45 o’clock
Monday morning. The assassin, who
is only twenty or twenty five years of
age, was immediately arrest'd and
kept from an angry mob by mounted
police. Paiis and all France is frantic
with indignation. The Italian con
sulate was attacked by an angry moh
hut it was finally driven away by sol
diers. Several cafes belonging to
peaceable Italians have been raided,
and it is feared a general revolution
against the foreigners is eminent.

As it lias been some time since we
had a special from Luella in The
Weekly, will give a few dots.
We are having some wet weather
now —crops looking fine—grass grow
ing very fast.
Prof. Y. E. Bargeran of Raleigh
spent last Friday night in Luella, en
route to Locust Grove.
We understand that Tom Watson
and Hines tore upthegiound at Griffin
last Saturday. It is very kind in them
to begin so early to prepare holes to
put the third partyites that will die this
fall when Cul. Atkinson is elected
Governor of Georgia.
W. Waller visited relatives in
Raleigh last Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Glass near Flipper; visited
Miss Lula Belle Dupree last Sunday.
M rs. W. N. Nelson of Griffin is
spending the week with her daughter,
Mrs, J. 11. Stilwell.
Uno and Ino.
iir.i tm* v« 11,■<.
Wo have had a good season and
crops are now looking much better.
With plenty of raiu from now or.,
and your Uncle Billie Atkiuson for
Governor, we will have good times.
W. Y. Atkiuson is one of Georgia's
most brainy men. No doubt the peo
pie of the entire South will be proud
some day that such a man has lived.
We heard an Evans man say the other
day that he was now for Atkiuson, and
believed that he would make a better
president than Cleveland.
The Good Book says love thy neigh
bor as thyself and pray for your ene
mies. 1 think the people who have
strayed off from the democratic party
will soon begin to return.
Rev. E. Culpepper of Jonesboro will
preach the Fourth of July sermon at
Ml Carmel M. E. church. Those who
fail to hear him will miss something
good.
Mr Sam Betts of Southwest Geor
gia paid bis brother, F. C. Betts, a visit
this week.
It was our pleasure to visit J. 11.
Wallace last week. Jim says he is for
Jack Brown for Cleik first, last aud all
the time
Henry Exum says he was satisfied
that Atkinson would be the next Gov
ernor.
We saw plenty ot cotton blooms last
Sunday.
Col. E J. Reagan, in company with
three of the best men in Henry county
—Bill Simpson, Alec Lemon and Edi
tor Fouche, passed here on their way
to the speaking at Jonesboro last Sat
urday. Old Gcarp. j
“BI'RAL"
Since the fine rain on the 21st, crop
prospects are improving, and the aver
age lengths of faces is somewhat re
duced.
Mrs. Lula Price’s condition is but
little changed at this writing, and there
is some other sickness in the communi
ty, as usual at this season.
Ben Davis, one of Locust Grove’s
grape growers, says his Ives grapes
will probably yield a half crop, while
the Concord variety will not. do more
than half as well.
John T. Davis hud the first cotton
blooms in this neighborhood.
A general meeting will be held at
Locust Grove baptist church on the
Jrd, 4th and sth of July. Don’t pull
all the ripe chickens before that time.
George Wilson of Lowe’s district
lost a fine field of oats by last Thurs
day's storm.
Will Plow Boy, or some other *tu
dent of hillosophy, please state what
would be the result if an irresistible
ball should strike an impenetrable
wall ? Then we will have some idea
of what will be the result when W. Y.
Atkinson comes in contact with Wat
son’s “man Friday,” Judge Hines.
In answer to the oft repeated ques
tion, “What has the democrats ever
done?” I will say that American in
dependence was accomplished by the
democrats of this country, before the
organization of the party by that name;
and since its organization every foot of
territory that has been added to the
thirteen original colonies, except far
off bleak Alaska, lias been added under
Democratic administrations of the gov
eminent. All this, and everything in
every other line that has been done
that tended to make this country truly
greal, lias been done by Democrats.
So the efforts of the third party to
gain control of the government by an
nihilatiug the Democratic party is in
the nature of a conspiracy among the
wicked children of an envious relative
of a prosperous citizen to murder him
and his family in order that they may
possess and squander the fortune he
lias accumulated by many years of hon
est toil.
No wonder some people shrink from
political talk as an unholy thing, es
pecially since among other things that
the Democratic party has doue, it
snowed the third party under out of
sight iu 1892, and is going to do the
same thing over again in 1894. ,
Rut at!.
H % lilt.
Nice showers of rain, which were
badly needed.
Crops look revived up.
Gen. Evaus has decided to let Billie
Atkinson have the plum. Now, Billie,
you must snow Judge Hines under by
at least seventy-five thousand. The
thirds have been rejoicing over Billie’s
beating Gen. Evans, thinking if the
General got left a great many of the
Evans men would vote for Hines. No
3ucli good luck for you, gentlemen,
you must paddle your own canoe.
Likewise the Demies will take care of
the wagon hoy. Reagan aud Atkin
son is the pass word iu old Henry
now.
Notwithstanding the Hampton Jour
nal differs with us in regard to Col.
Reagan, if Col. Reagan is the nominee
old Hampton district will give him a
rousing vote. So, gentlemen, just trot
him out.
Remember the big singing will he
held at the M. E. church, Mt. Carmel,
