APAJR-SVILLO L6PS6E VOL L R W. EVERETT HEDGINGTO SAVE HIMSELF FROM DEFEAT. lIE SAYS ONE THING And Turns Around and Denies It. FAVORS A PROPERTY QUALIFICATION Bi'fore a Free American Can Vote. MUST BE WORTH 82.600/!! AS AFFIDAVIT AS TO WHAT HE DID SAY, Which In Backed Up By Some of the Leaciiug Citizens of Polk, Neigh bors of Mr. Everett Whitt Manner of Man Is He ? Property qualification. Must be worth SI,OOO over and above a homestead. That is R. W. Everett’s doctrine. How manv men in Bartow ■would be able to exercise their suffrage if Mr. Everett could have his way ? How many fldembers of the Al liance would be able to deposit a ballot for him if he could hatfe his way ? it will he remembered that a paragraph in the issue of The Ledger of June 26, stating that R. NY. Everett, the Alliance candidate for Congress, favored a property •qualification law, 1. e., that a man anust be worth SI,OOO over and above the homestead law. This he denied in a roundabout way, as he has several o*her truths, J ut. nevertheless, facts are facts, and they will nof be knocked down at the bidding of the “cheap John” -demagogue. The following affidavit, backed up with the numerous signed cer tificates, tells the tail and nails R. NY. Everett, as the boss “wriggler” of the country, and also proves what we have charged time and again, thivt he was not capable of telling the truth. Read it, you men who would not be allowed the privilege of exercising your man hood if such a law should be enacted: Georgia, l Poik County. \ Personally appeared before me,* Tlios. Griffin, who, on oath says that he, on or .about the year 1876. heard R. W. Ever ett, now a eand’dute for Congress in the Seventh district of Georgia, say that he did not believe that any man ought to be .allowed his vote unless he was worth £I,OOO over and above a homestead. Sworn to and subscribed to .before me this, the Bth day of September. Thos. buivFi:., John Hotchlnb, N. P. * J. P. Inasmuch as Mr. Griffin is not known ! it. oughout the Seventh •district and Mr. Everett denies the charge, the following was at tached to the affidavit and duty signed: TO THE VOTERS of the Seventh Congressional district of Georgia- T :v> i.-. certify that Mr. Gridin, the gentlemen sworn in the above affidavit, is and has been for eighteen or twenty years a citizen of Ce partown.

Firer-ln-Chlef Ilrowu Throws Down the Gauntlet to the Gallant Gov ernor-Abusing Gordon's War Record—Unworthy Slurs. Atlanta, Sept. B. The Southern A1 lianee Farmer has opened its battery against Governor Gordon in dead earnest. In its issue to-day appear the followiug editorial notes: . •‘What does a political aristocracy mean ? A class which has exclusive po litical privileges. Are th. re any of that class in Georgia? Yes, those fellows who have fought for their country once think they have a right to do as they please with, it for all time to come.” “Anything to beat the Alliance f Gov ernor Gordon, Dr. Felton, and Pat Walsh all in the same beat. Nothing but tluir enmity to the Alliance would have ever brought them together. Stand to the Alliance, and don’t let these able poli ticiaas lead you to forsake the grand cause. ” “It is not and has not been the prov ince of this paper to make or to name candidates, or to tell our brethren for whom they should vote. When it be comes necessary for us to say that men h ive taken a position which Aiiianoemen cannot afford to support we will do so. Our object is to supply the facts and let the people make their own decisions Now, brethren, watch out for the facts.” “It has been the purpose of this paper to opfiose Gen. Gordon as a candidate for the Senate upon the issues of the present. We have not intended to go behind it; and w e hope the g > /< r tor will not thro down the challenge again which he did in his speech in Putnam wkeu he spoke of his record as senator. “There is a living issue in this land, and this issue is more money, cheaper money, money to meet all tl e demands of commerce, and based upon the supply of ami demand for farm products, and backed by Don-perishable farm products. We cannot afford to trade this living issue for a man or a sentiment.” “The Democratic State convention, which put out a full ticket headed by Col. Nortbeu for governor, failed to in dorse Governor Gordon for the United States Senate, but the Independents are indorsing him for the important office without an exception. The disgruntled politicians who put out Dr. Felton against Everett indorsed him unanimous ly. So did the crowd who put an Inde pendent against the regular nominee in Hall county. All the Independents are for Gordon. Are the farmers, who have so gracefully yielded in every i: when licaten in the primaries, going to see the regular nominees cut down be cause they dare to oppose Gordon for the Senate ? If Gordon and his friends can explain this systematic, Independent Gordon movement, they had better be about it, for he weight of evidence is against them.” There is a strange mixture in Georgia politi' in this year of our Lord 1890. ' There be those who say the Jeffersonian Democrats of the Seventh district, who have nominated Dr. W. H. Felton for Congress, are la depend earn. Tin* sug gestion is ridiculous. The supporters of ! Mr. Everett, the Fanners' Alliance caa- j aidate, are the Independents and dhs organi/.ers. In more than one county of the Seventh district they have rejected Democratic principles and Democratic usages, and have foisted upon the people a man who is willing to plant himself upon any and every platform that will gain him votes. The time is not far dis tant when the genuine Democrats r.f Georgia will rise in their might and crush into utter ruin the secret pottttail organ ization which is trying to “boost a small army of demagogues into office.—Bruns wick Times.

Special Telegram to The Ledger. Calhoun, Ga., September 10.—- The so-cailed Democratic party met here today for the purpose of nominating one of its number for Congress. The delegates to the convention have belonged in time to every known political party. Th l big man among them, Maj J. A. Blance, at one time kicked out of the uarty traces beqause it would not endorse his brother-in law, J. F. Dever, a rank Republican and who was ii candidate for the Legislature. A committee on platform was appointed. It showed that it kid been cut and dried for the occasion. All reference to the snh-Treasurv bill was omitted. This alone proves that the Alliance nor its candidates were sinscerc but only after delud ing the ignorant. A resolution was introduced re. questing Mr. Everett not to meet Dr. Felton and discuss flic is sues of the campaign. This was referred to the committee on reso lutions and it was pocketedby om of the member*? or killed. Walter ri.Coleman,of Cedartown. nominated Mr. Everett.
