A Big Following.
It is a noticeable fact that those,
or many of them, who are opposing
Clark Howell for governor, are the
same ducks who opposed William
Jeuniug Bryan for president. They
stabbed Bryan in the back, and
now, when the opportunity offers
are putting the blade into Howell.
And the among them is the Atlan¬
ta Journal. And what is more,
every white and black republican
in the state i9 patting the Journal
ou the back with encouragement
(no cash) for the sole pursose ot
disorganizing and discouraging the
democratic party in Georgia.—
Fitzgerald Leader.
If Hoke Smith gets the anti
Bryan vote as charged, and gets
the populist vote as charged, aud
gets the republican vote as charged
and then gets the mugwump vote
us charged, it seems to us he will
be hogging more than one man’s
share.—Moultrie Observer.
Yes, but think of the crime that
Hoke is guilty of in permitting
these republicans to pat the Jour¬
nal on the back. Oh! the way
they are putting the blade into
Howell is a caution.—Fitzgerald
Enterprise.
Throwing Stones in Meriwether,
Two Meriwether county citizens,
in a coloquy, became interesting.
One was so good that lie could not
Bupport the Hon. Hoke Smith for
governor with his hotel bar repu¬
tation. “Well,” said the other,
••don’t you know that we have a
hotel bar of our own down here at
Warm Springs.” ‘‘Better pass
that matter,” said the anti-Hoke
man. ‘‘Aint Meriwether a tem
perance county, full of Christian
people? How came us to have a
hotel bar?” said the other. “One
of our legislators, out of the good¬
ness of his heart thought every
hotel ought to have a bar; aud, by
the way, I hear he is now opposing
lion. Hoke Smith, and like your¬
self, is greatly troubled on the bar
matter.” “Ab!” said the anti
Hoke man, “aiut we 111 a pretty
pickle. Who was our representa¬
tive who did us this great wrong?”
The other fellow with a merry
twinkle in his eye said. ‘’You ask
brother Warner Hill and Henry
Revill. They can tell you, or if
they wont do it, look in the house
journal of a few years back and
you can easily see.” “Well,”
concluded the anti-Hoke maa, “I
think we had better brush before
our own door before we go further
against Hoke Smith.”
The other “Meryite” chucked
his friend a little and said, “Let
me tell you something; it is ever
thus. When you hear a mau
speak ill against Hoke Smith about
the bar he has nothing in the world
to do with, you wiU'fiud his door
needs sweeping before just as the
Meriwether Warm Springs bar.
No friend of temperance or honest
anti-prohibitioust cares a fig about
these slanders. There is no tem¬
perance issue in this campaign,and
they know it, and this little at¬
tempt to squelch reform in Geor¬
gia wout work with sensible peo¬
ple.”—Middle Georgia Farmer.
Hoke made “Plain Dick” look
like a nickel with a hole in at
Monticello Monday.
