MnJ. Bacon's Reasons F<& Decllulug to
Enter a Joint Debate.
In view of the-fact that some of the
opponents of MojJ A. O. Bacon for tbe
senatonililp have taken occasion to
criticise his declination to enter luto a
Joint debate during the present cam-
palgu, the Telegraph republishes his
letter to Dr. F. M. llldley of Troup
county on this question., it Is as fol
lows :
Macon. Go., June 21,1894.
Dr. F. if. Ridley, La Grange. Ga.—My
Dear Sir; For the past week 1 have been
absent from home In the discharge of a
public duty. This must be my escuss.for
ths delay In my reply to yours of tbe
ltth Inst., which arrived during my ab
sence from home, snd which, for the
time, 1 bsve in hand today, and to which
1 reply. at this the flrst possible oppor
tunity.
In your letter you Inform me that ' Hon.
L. F. Garrard will address the citizens
of Tloup county on the political issues
of the day, on the 3d, (th snd fith of July,
at La Grange, West Point and Hdgang.
villo respectively,'' and that ' his many
friends are desirous, and he joins in the
request, that you meet him In Joint de
bate at the above named places on the
above dates."
Although this invitation Is limited, to
three meeting* In Troup county, t under
stand, of course, that this Is Intended as
preliminary to a Joint discussion between
us throughout the state, In which wc
shall appear as opposing candidates of
the Democratic party for election to the
Urited States senate. Construing this to
be ths real purpose aud scope of the Invi
tation, for the consideration and courtesy
of which I beg to thank both you and
him, I respectfully decline the same, for
many reasons, among which the following
may he deemed sufficient at this time;
As Democrats, recognising our allegiance
as due by each of us to the party, with
the obligation to do all within the power
of either of us to promote it* prosperity
snd success. It must be apparent to him,
os well as to me and all other good Demo
crats, that the most commanding duty of
the hour Is to contribute all within <ur
power to Insure the harmony of the parly
and to avoid everything the natural tend
ency and effect of which will be to create
dissensions and discord within its ranks.
A Joint discussion between Democrat* at
this time, on the ove of our joining Issue
In his slats with the avowed enemt:*
and opponents of the Democratic party
In Georgia, can but widen breaches within
the party, wtiloh all true Democrats must
unite In the desire to close.
I am entirely sure that both you and
Mr. Garrard will agree tflth me met. at
this particular time, the paramount duty
of the hour Is to discourage discord and
promote harmony within the party. Upon
the great fundamental principles, to-wlt:
those afTectlng the proper runctlona of
the general government nnd the purity
of Its administration; those Involving the
rights ot states and their powers under
Individual rights of the citizens with the
obligations of the government to the con
stitution; those relating to the lay upon
him no burden und to exact from him
no duty except that necessary for the
economical support and maintenance . of
the government, and those Imposing the
duty of the government to dispense its
benefits equully to all and to lay Its bur
dens unequally upon none-as to these
great fundamental principles which con
stitute the pillars and .bulwarks of the
government, there Is no disagreement
Democrats. As to the details by which
these principles can be best’ put Into prac
tical execution there have been and are
differences among Democrats; but they
are differences about which the Democrats
will In the near future, with wisdom of
counsel and with , moderation in action,
come to a safe and harmonious. conclu
sion. The principles of the Democratic
party underlie and support the founda
tions ot our governmental structure; they
Intimately concern the preservation of the
government tor the great purposes and
the wise designs of Its, Illustrious found
ers, ami upon them are rested the safe
guards ot Individual liberty and the guar
antees ot the equality of every citizen In
his right to the Impartial enjoyment ot
all the beneilts of tho government.
Those who believe in these great funda
mental principles may differ on a hundred
minor points, but they are none the less
Democratic, and when the hour of con
flict earnest In my humble Judgment,
there Is but one position In .which they
should be found, and that Is facing the
foes of the party. Unless 1 nm much
mistaken, In a short time we will nil ot
u* have enough to do without taking the
slump against each other. Tho contests
fir the party nominations are drawing
rapidly to a close, and after they are
over, 1 respectfully submit there should
during ths csmapalgn be no further Joint
debates between Democrat*. The effort
should be to close, up our ranks for tn#
light, rather than to divide the party into
hostile and opposing factions.
While, therefore, for these reasons 1
decline to enter upon a Joint debate with
Mr. Garrard, I have no desire to conceal
iny position on the vital question or the
•My. nor to screen myself from the cfltl-
olsms of those who may not agree with
ins. 1 therefore stats them as follows;
U I believe 'n a tariff for revenue inly,
i. 1 believe In the Imposition by >hs
Isdersl government ot un Income .ax.
3. I believe that tho government of the
United State* Should coin both gold snd
silver as the money of flnnl payment,
without discrimination against either met
al, the dollar unit of coinage of which
shall be of equal Intrinsic. And exchange,
able value.
4. I believe that It la th* Constitutional
rlfht of each slate to charter banks ot
Issue, and that the law Imposing a tax
°J W .?* r c,nt ' on th * Issues of Mute banks
should be unconditionally repealed.
3. In all other matters not herein set
out, I recognise that iny allegiance nnd
obedience art due to the principles »n-
nounced In the Chicago plstform'of 1897.
1 in addition to th* foregoing. 1 be
lieve that United States senators ought
to be elected by direct vote of the people.
In this confession of faith la found my
political creed. If In any particular tt is
false, any cat can at any time and upon
any oecnaton an conveniently attack and
expos* It ua If 1 had been present snd
had in person announced th* same, if
Mr. Garrard agree with me In adhering
to th* principles snd in favoring meas
ures which wilt enforce them, then the
only purpose of a Joint debate between
■ ut would be to discuss our personal claims
and merits. For the reasons already given
I have no desire to Join In such a dlecus-
ston. 1 think there are ahead of us much
graver and more important matters df
discussion, and nm very frank (o say
that It Is not my wish or purpose to dis
cuss the raertts or demerits either of my
self or anjr slhsr gentleman who 'may oe
opposed to me. 1 expect to be heard not
only In Troup county, but so far at pran-
tlcahle In all other sections of th* stats
where mj- service* may he needed; hut
»° such occasions. If my wishes prevail,
my subject of dtscueelon will not be my.
•elf or my opponents, but trill be as to
»*>' ,ru * "»««*«<• of Ike people In giving
their support at thla time to the'Demo
crane party. It so happens that by the
invitation of the Democratic campaign
committee of Cherokee county, unsolicited
snd unexpected by me. I am to speak in
Canton on July 3. one o« th* date* named
by you. But I go there to speak for tbe
party, and not for myself, except tn sa
far aa loyalty to principles and devotion
to duty may command me to the favo
of Democrats.
Of eoursr. you will understand UuK I
do not mentloft this conflicting date as
‘a reason why I decline Mr. Garrard's
challenge. It that were all tt could he
easily arranged) I am content to suffer
any dlsadrantsg* which may grow out
at th* fact that, for the reason stated.
I have declined to accept same.
Thera should be emulation between
but In my opinion it should he- the noble
emnlatlou each to excel the other In grab
oue servtcw to th* Democratic party tn
th* opening eamnaign. In the effort to bet!
and harmonise all differences In our ranks
and to unit* all Democrats In th* Strut
gt* for the success of the party in the
coming election. In this noble and pa-
triotlc emulation I cordially invite iny
good frl .nd whom you represent to Join
me. With assurances of high regard. I
remain, very truly yours.

LION AND MOUSE.
From McClure's Magazine.
One day Philadelphia, wishing to teat
the affection popularly supposed to exist
between a lion and a mouse, put a mouse
In tho cage of a full grown Nubian lion.
1410 lion saw tho mouse before he
fairly through the bars, and was after
him Instantly. Away went the little feh
low, scurrying across the floor and squeak
ing In fright. When he hod gone about
ten feet the lion sprang, alighting a little
In front of him. The mouse turned and
the Ron sprang again. Thla was repeated
several times, the mouse traversing a
shorter distance after each spring of the
lion, it was demonstrated that a. lion Is
too quick tor a mouse, at least In n. large
case. Finally the mouse stood still,
squealing and trembling. The lion stood
over. Studying him with lnt. r.\,l. T’ren-
ently he shot out his long paw and let
It down directly on the mouse, but so
gently that the mouse was not Injured In
the least, though held fast between the
claws. Then the llSn ployed with him
In tho most extraordinary way, now lift
ing hit paw and letting the mouse run
s few feet snd then stopping him again
ss bsfore. Suddenly the mouZe changed
Its tactics, and. Instead of running when
the lion lifted bln paw. sprang irfSo the
air straight at the lion's head. The lion,
terrified, gave a great leap back, striking
ths bars with all hit weight and shaking
the whole floor. Then he opened his great
Jswa and roared and roared again, -while
the little mouse, still squealing, made Its
escape. Of the taro, tbe lion was the

It Is a feet well known in all menag
eries that a mouse will frighten an ele.
pbant more than will a locomotive. Let

tbe elephant, his mountain of flesh quiv
ering and his trunk lashing the air, will
trumpet In abject terror, and he a III not
recover tor hour* afterward. The tralnera
say that what the elephant fears is that
the mouse will run up bis trunk. There
Is a tradition that a mouse really did
thla In one Instance While tn elephant
was sleeping, and caused the elephant
such Intense pain that be hod to be killed.
