OF SOME R. R. UNION.
It is Indeed amu-tng to *i*‘dyed In
the wool Prohibitionist" to see the
attempis of tbe Atlanta- Journal to
‘pull the wool over the eyes of the
Prohls" at this date, when only
few months ago they were edltorlally-
Ing with might and main against State
Prohibition, How they have
this argument Into the mouth of the
Hoke Smith contingent, not careful
to stop long enough to think twice be
fore speaking and publishing, attempt
to befog the reason of those who are
following a principle of prohibition,
rather than a hatched up claltn and
effort, to appear to be one, for votes
only. i •,
Which, Mr. Editor, .would yon rath
er follow, a man who haa lived his
prohibition, always voted his prohibi
tion, and consistently worked for pro
hibition for twenty years; or a man
who Is an open local optlonlst. Truly
has It been said that Mr. Hoke Smith
It a "Law Made Prohibitionist," a pro
hibitionist "Protempore.”
I bare faithfully followed the argu
ments both for and against Mr.
Smith and 1 have deliberately con
cluded that this prohibition argument
la simply a ruse to prejudice the pro
hibitionist In bis, Smith's favor..
Let ua compare, In paralel column,
the tho men on prohibition:
MR. BROWN—Living pnd working
for Prohibition 20 years, refusing to
sign a' lease on bla property In Atlan
ta for the uses of a saloon, after bis
renlal agent had made It.
MR. BROWN.—Working I
Dry Ticket in 1835 In Atlanta and Ful
ton County and Cobb County.
MR. BROWN—Giving to Mlsalops
and Prohibition Causes his money and
hla influence.
MR. HOKE SMITH—Claiming to
have voted for Local'Option In 1885
bqt taking tho caae of the Itqdor deal
ers after the fight had ' been won
against the open saloon, and trying
for a Money Consideration to break
the law, fighting It through all courts,
oven through the Supreme Court,
(ree Ga. Reports, with Hoke 8mlth’s
nine as counsel). What klnu of a
. Mbltlonlst la that man who votea
for.lt one day and the next accept! a
Money Fee to fight It? If It was a
moral principle when he voted for It,
was It less a great moral principle
tbe next day when It had won out?
Cun a true man sell put a Moral
Principle for money?
MR. HOKE SMITH—In 1817 ac
knowledges contributing some Five
Hundred Dollars tp. the Corruption
Fund to brlpg liquor back Sato Fulton
county and Atlanta.
MR. HOKE SMITH—While Neal,
Hardman and Covington were fighting
lo the death for State Prohibition In
the last session of the Legislature.
Governor Hoke Smith sent a message
to the Legislature Advocating Lohal
Option, his newspaper wrote simul-
taneousty, a rouble column
Against State Prohibition.
Only a few months age, beforp Mr.
Brown was thought of'as being In tbe
race for Governor, Sir. Hoke Smith,
who then beard the United States Sen
ate bee a buzzing in his ear, at a ban
quet speech In Savannah Georgia, said
He was In favor of light wines and
beer, tbis at that time created con
sternation In the Prohibition, senti
ment of the State, but Mr. Smith then
did not think any one would oppose
him for tbe office of Governor If he
wanted It, but he cveted the Senate,
when he found out there had been a
change of sentiment and that Steve
Clay would beat him for the Senate,
be falls back on the Governor's Re-
election for two yearn more.precedent,
ho was fishing with two rods at that
time, bidding for the German vote at
Savannah and at the same time hold
ing on to the governorship precedent
In case he bad to turn loose his seun
ion,lip aspirations; be relinquished
every claim on a precedent for re-
nomlnatlon when he flirted with the
Senatorshlp question. He has tried
to cry thief pointing bis Anger at Lit
tle Joe, and running after him when
tbe booty was Ir. bU owq pocket; and
ha himself was the man who Injected
prohibition Into this campaign and fot'
the purpose of misleading the people;
Joe Brown's record Is clear and clean,
how about the man who Is crying "stop
thief." I read the article from the
Manufacturers Record, while It Is in
tended to cover the whole of tho
Southern States, It Is a vivid picture
of Georgia's present condition as sue
Is paying her Quota for following the
False Prophets; It every farmer will
read It and realize the truth, Its Non
Partlslan Spirit, but Its clear declara
tion of the truth as It now exists, he
will never vote again for Hoka Smith,
.'or la this not a true condition now?
