Our distinguished friend from Ohio

I hjtve oarer believed that Colonel
Pope Brown needed to advertise that
he haa declined a bribe of $100,01)0,
to eatabllsh his honssty In Gsorgtc,
and thereby set the dangerous prece
dent of saying to tbs world, "I can
be approached without risk to you."
Georgia snd her people have occu
pied the enviable position of being
freer from the taint of corruption,
resulting from bribery, perhaps, than
most other states—for Instance the
state of Ohio, the home of Colonel
Envn'i manager, Mr. Williams. Be
It said, however, to the credit of
Ohio, that they have been puttiaa

thing If we can 1 oca to them; hut so
long as they have an apparent guar
antae of a complete (hleld, the people
stand helpless and It will soon be-'
coma the Msecs of corruptionists.
1 say that It la usslaaa to tag a man
to get the slogan of "Honest,'' and
especially so where no doubt had prev
lously baen raised, with but one ex
ception—Mr. DuPont Onerry, of Ma
con. who stated publicly that Col.
Ff.pe .Brown could not be trotted
with prohibition.
