Tho nuti-l)!UTHdm bill is dead and populist senators killed it.. Many thqussauds of Georgians will rejoice at the news—many other thousands will not rejoice, Many uu agent of the whisky trust will jubilate—many a toper, toddy-mixer, whisky seller, liuui, deadbeat and demiuoher. Along the corridor*} pi gilded “clubs” where e'ogiuit sin coddles itsolf; in I ho glare and gaudy splendor of many a “saloon" much elation will take its way. A cheerful growl will bo heard the lairs of blind tigerism. in other places the pleasure will not be so pronounced— not many wives of weak husbands will make merry over the depth of the anti-barroom bill- not. maqy ers of erring sous, Few will be the smiles upon tho pale, sad faces of those thousands of noble women who discover too late that they must live with sworn to love, honor and obey. Not overly noisy will bo the joicing of tlje fathers and ers pf Georgia who staggor the curse of sons givod to drink and daughters given to ards. Had it pleased Leaven to some other party responsible triumph of wliisky in Georgia we could have borne it. better. But tho plain truth must, bp told—shall be told!—the senators are responsible. By vote of 18 to 23 the measure defeated. Three populist sena¬ tors voted against, it. Had they voted the other way the count would have stood 21 to 20—and whisky would not, have won, Why are the throe populist sen¬ ators nio.e responsible than the t.went.y democrat^ who voted against the bill? Because the people’s party of Georgia bad deli berate tv incor¬ porated in its state platform a dis¬ tinctive demand for prohibition. This was first done, uuanimous- y when the executive committee met in 1895 and recommended a platform to the convention, The convention endorsed the recom¬ mended platform, In Hj9(l S.a- born Wright was nominated by our party and lie accepted as much because of that uuti-bar- yoom plank as anything else. Senator Yancey Carter was chairman of the plat form commit¬ tee and enthusiastically support¬ ed Wright for the nomination. Senator Strother, of tho district in which wo llyo, pledged himself during his canvass, positively and unconditionally, to support, the anti-barrqp.rg bill. Without, that pledge lie could not have been elected, for every populist, county in lus district, is a ‘‘dry" county. What, Senator Golden’s attitude has been hereeofore wo do not, know; wo only know him as the ropresautgtiyo of H party which repeatedly and solemnly pledged itse.f to support the anti-barroom bill. During the campaign of 139(5 the democrats taunted us with the charge of insincerity. They said we were not, at, heart, in favor of the anti-barroom bill, but. only "sed it as a vote-catcher. Jt, seems that the accusation was true. We fli^i not ho believe fit the time and wo doniod it. We hereby apologize, Wo should have confessed that, wo were hyp¬ ocrites and were seeking to get goods upon false pretenses. Hereafter let m* not abuse dem¬ ocrats or republicans for violating campaign contracts. Let us keep our mouths shut, about broken pledges and unredeemed promisy es. We Georgia populist have moved into a glass house and we must never again fling any - ? stones.
