THE INSIDE OF ATLANTA..
CALLS FOB ANOTHER GUBERNA-
TOKIAL CANDIDATE.
AStrflne Feeling Against Gordon In Many
Sections of the State—People Openly
Aseert that they Will Not
Vote for film.
Atlanta, July 7.—An Intelligent and reliable
gentleman, well known In Middle and North Geor
gia, who has Just returned from a business trip
through a large number of counties in the northern
and southern portions of the State, expressed *o
me his surprise at the strong feeling against Go-
don he found among the people. Large numbers
of them openly assert that they cannot and will not
▼ote for General Gordon if he is nominated by the
convention. There Is a strong demand among
them for a good, staunch Democratic candidate
for whom they can conscientiously vote, whether
such a candidate can beat Oordou or not. The gen
tleman I have referred to simply gave these as facts
which came nnder his personal observation, but
would express no opinion and said frankly he
could give no opinion, as to what would be the out
come of this sentiment.
THE MASS MBrriXO IN BARTOW.
A mass meeting was held in Csrtersville Unlay
to ala :t delegates to the gubernatorial convention
The proceedings of the meeting were spirited, and
indicated conclusively that there la some life yet In
the campaign. The warm interest taken in the
contest by the Democrats of Bartow waa shown by
the presence of nearly nine hundred
voters. Both candidates were strongly repre
sented and warmly supported. The first
tug of war came In the election of a chairman. In
this Issue the Bacon side were victorious, electing
their man by a majority of 40. This was something
of a settler, and produced Immediate developments.
Then came from the Gordon element a resolution
pledging the voters in mass meeting assembled to
support the nominee of the convention, whoever he
might be. This resolution, which was a rath*!
Irregi lar and unprecedented one, wai
promptly voted down. The Gordon men, finding
themselves, though Urge in number, a hopeless
minority.proceeded to another place, organized a lit
tle convention of their own, and elected delegates
to the convention, and they will demand to be
seated as the only ellgable and qualified represeta-
tion from Bartow. In the meantime, the reg
ularly assembled mass meeting pro
ceeded to business and elected delegates.
As this set of delegates was the outcome of the
mass meeting called by the Democratic executive
committee of the county, representing the will of
ihs majority and bearing the regular official cre
dentials. It U not apprehended seriously that the
convention of the Sflth of July Hill Interpose
any objection to their taking their seats in that body,
although there Is here much talk that som«thing
of that kind will be done. A number of Gordon
men, speaking of it this afternoon, expressed the
opinion that the Gordon set of delegates would be
and ought to be recognized by the convention.
They pretend to the belief that tbs developments
of the meeting in Bartow to-day—the control of the
meeting by a majority of the voters present. Is ths
beginning of an Independent movement to defeat
Gen. Gordon.
HOW TtlET VOTED IN CXI LET I lull IK.
Ex-Senator James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, was
In the city this afternoon. To look at him and talk
with him one would not imagine that he was on the
losing side In a political contest yesterday. What
ever there waa of defeat to him in ths Oglethorpe
election yesterday, he bore It good-naturedly and
philosophically. Of the result he had noth ng
new to say, but gave a description
of ths voting for Rees* or Carlton delega es to the
Congressional convention. It was almost Impossi
bis to tell in the ordinary way how tLs crowd stood
on this Issue. It was proposed first that that ell in
favor of Carlton should string out on one side
the street and all in favor of Iters# get In a line on
tbs other. Tbs crowd disposed themselves as di
rected, bat U was soon found that
tie plan would not work
Ufactorily. Then there waa more confusion and
excitement. It was next proposed that ths crowd
should fils one by one through a door into a rood
where the tellers would receive the votss. This was
tried, but failed to give satisfaction, and finally tho
two wings asperated and held separate meetings
both sides electing delegates to ths convention'

immediate appeal to the city council for a ruling
the 1st that will bring this tMng to a stop.
The developments to-day showed that beyond a
doubt. Although ft is a dry town, Atlanta is a beer
drinking community, and the people will have it
whenever there is an opportunity to get it.
raOHIBITIONIRT DESERTS HIM COLORS.
Charley C. Thorn, a young grocery merchant do
ing business on Whitehall sheet, occupies rather a
peculiar position in connection with the subject of
prohibition In Atlanta, which is now attracting so
much attention, both home and abroad.
During the campaign he was an ardent and untir
ing worker in the canse of prohibition. lie waa a
member of the Young Men's Prohibition Club, and
on account of the Interest that he manifested In the
cause, waa assigned to duty on the sub-committee
i registration. On the day of the election, be was
the polls putting in vigorous licks for the success
of the dry ticket, and no doubt did a good deal of
telling work.
It was known to a good many of his friends at the
time that he had a wholesale license to
liquor by the quart, and when it was found that he
had enlisted his energies in the cause of prohlbl.
tion the club congratulated itself upon making a
convert of him.
Since the election, however, contrary to the ex
pectations of his friends, Mr. Thorn has continued
in the liquor business, (tolling ell kinds of liquoi
by the quart.
The fact that he was a strong prohibitionist dar
ing the campaign, taken in connection with the fact
that he has never given up the liquor business,
tuwM him to he the subjoct of much criticism.
Mr. Thorn's license runs until September 33rd, of
this year. At the time of the election his license
extended for a period of ten months.
AND STILL ANOTHER.
T. 0. Mason Is another citizen of Atlonta who
is just si this time coming in for his share of criti
cism in connection with prohibition. He owns a
wholesale license to sell all kinds of liqnor, which
is good to run until near the end of the year—Oc
tober, I believe. Since July 1st he has fitted up a
saloon under his grocery on Marietta street whtre
he sells beer, whisky and wine by the quart, and
is said to be doing a handsome business. During
the campaign Mason, while be took no promlneut
part in the contest, waa n gardod as a prohibition
ist. This opinion of him wssfotmed from the con
versation that he had with his friend• upon the
subject. lie told them in substance when the
matter waa talked of, that he Intended selling li
quor until It was voted out, anil that then he was
going out of the business with tho rest of them.
What liquor remained on hand unsold on the 1st
of July, he was going to pour Into the streets. Mr.
Mason also stated that his license ran lor several
months, and that he conld sell until Its expiration,
but that he had no desire to continue in the busi
ness after it was prohibited by law. To one
gentleman who celled and made him
ai offer of $300 for his license. Mr. Mason said
t‘iat he had been offered f 3.500 for it, but would
not sell It at auy price. Ho sa d, in effect, that to
sell his license would not be consistent with his
feelings upon the question or his standing in the
community.
Public opinion advances two theories as to the
stand that Mr. Thorn and Mr. Msson took with ief-
erance to prohibition. The most charitable of the
two is inconsistency; the other, the money, that
was to be made by them when less fortunate
dealers were obliged to close out and retire from
the buslnesa.
MOKE TRANSFERS OF LKJtOR LICENSES
will be made to-morrow. Thorn's license, which
expires September 33d, will. In whole or In part,
pass Into the hands of Kenny k Wtpuer. Schu-
men's license, expiring about the same time, goes
to Tat Kenny, and T. C. Mason’s license, expiring
October 37th, has been captured by Phillip Breiten-
bncher. All .arrangements tor the transfer of these
licenses have been made, and ths old saloons closed
on the 1st of July will bloom again to-morrow,
