Yesterday tho Telegraph uddreiwd the following note to each of tho can didates for tho legislature: August 0, 1KM. Dear Sir; During the laat few days there have been rumors current on the streets that soma of the candidates for the legislature, to be voted lor In the primary Thursday, entertain certain views in regard to the new charter of Macon Before thebe rumors became current the Talcgrsph regarded the ruvtest ns a purdy personal oae between the gentlemen soak thg teglstattvo honors; but If the charter Is to be an Issue the cumralgn loses that character, and we think tho people ought to know for whnt as well as foe whom they ary voting. In order that they may bo enabled to do eo, the Telegraph respect, fully oaks that you reply, In writing to the following questions: Is your attitude toward the new charter friendly or hostile? Assuming that certain amendments are lice weary fo correct defects In the char, ter, do you think these amendments should have the elfont or restricting tho city council ns far ss poratbl) to legislative functions, or do you think that the court ell should not only make tho city lawn but also shore the duty and responsibility of administering them? , The charter as It now reads give ou tlmt-lty for the Improvement of streets, etc.yto both the city council and the hoard of pdtillc works. In whut manner do you think this conflict of nuUturily should ba settled? Will you Indicate the scope of the amendments you will favor. If any? Tl|e charter dleriualltlee certain holders of cHy offices as candidates for the name or other etty offices during a certain po. rlod. Will you offer, favor or vote for an amendment removing this dlsquultflra- that? The Telegraph hopes that you will ttnd tlino to lUistver these questions, propound ed purely In the public Interest to each of the candidate* during tills afternoon or evening, as It proposes to print In to morrow's Issue Ilia result of Its Inquiries Most respectfully, Tho Macon Telegraph.

It did not occur to the Telegraph nt tho time tlte note wits written that either of the gentlemen could possibly hare any objection, to stating Ills po- slthm on this or any other public qtu-s tlou.

It seems tlmt the gentlemen entertain flttolher 'Iiid different view of their re- lntlons to the people whom they see to represent.

The Atlanta Constitution says that the parity that the people want la ''the parity of prices and prosperity,’’ which saying Is nonsense. It also says that Utta “retmint lie ohtalhed by the aboil IKki of more than oue-lialf of the debt laying money of tho country." This true.

There seems to be no question that Iverenn I„ Harris of Macon will be nominated for congress by the Populists of the Sixth district.
