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. A. o. Bacon. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

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 more trteghtened. It Is a feet well known in all menag eries that a mouse will frighten an ele. pbant more than will a locomotive. Let on* appear In an elephant's etalL and 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.
