John H. Traylor. kllanta Journal. The Journal will take no part in the ivory warm campaign now in progress the Fourth Congressional District ([other than to give our readers the \ news. We are compelled, however, from aj love of fair play, and in justice to a ! good man and true son of Georgia, to ' say, with all the emphasis in our pow- 1 er, that the charge published in some of our leading papers that Colonel Traylor is being made a tool of by de signing men, for any purpose whatever, is totally unfounded. We know it to be untrue because it would be so differ ent from all the public acts and doings of bis useful life. The esteem in which a man is held by his neighbours at home is one of the best tests of his character. No citizen of Troup county is more highly thought of than Col. Traylor. He has never sought office. On the contrary, he has time and time again declined office. About four years ago he Wits induced to become a candidate for the Senate, and was, of course, elected. Ilis record in that body, con taining many of Georgia’s distinguish ed sons, was one that reflected honor on (himself and credit to the people who did him the honor of electing him. The writer of this was intimately asso ciated with him during his long service in the Senate- Instead of believing that any man or any company of men could make of him a -tool to carry out any scheme, the writer was impressed with his strong individuality of eliar- •acter and resoluteness of purpose in doing'what he believed to be right or steadfastly refusing to do what be con sidered wrong or improper. He was and is a man of strong will, one who could say no with a promptness and decision that would deter any one from again seeking to use him for any pur pose other than teat which is square, fair and right. The writer remembers that Colonel Traylor was seated, every day, between two prominent Senators, who are known all over Georgia as men of strong mind as well as persuasive man ners. These two gentlemen sought by force of eloquence, personal persuasion and force of will to carry the Senate with them in two matters of great im portance. If ever a man was liable to yield Ms convictions to the persuasion of two strong minded as well as pleas ant mannered brother Senators, Colo nel Traylor was in that condition. And yet in both instances he opposed in debate and by Ins vote, the two brother Senators whom he highly re- spected and greatly admired. And in | both instances, the side represented by I Colonel Traylor was victor. I We believe that the forty-three Sen- I ators, who with him constituted the ®Senate of Georgia, and who were asso- p ciated with him intimately, would re -sent the very idea that be could be ised in any manner whatever, for any purpose, that Ms judgment and sense |f right did not indorse and fully ap- rove. nd if he should be elected to the Ingress of the United States he would bear himself with the same dignity, and the same wise statesmanship and con servative conduct would mark his ca reer there as in the councils of his own Iu truth he if a noble, high-minded J|||||k' possessing breadth of views and i conapi'ehensive ideas of public trusts and public ^ Congressional race for more than a de cade of years the maudlin cry of “Harris in the background” has been raised for the purpose of weakening some other candidate. Mark you, this cry comes always from the enemies of Harris, who have consistently opposed him from bis entrance into public life, and I sup pose will continue to do so. Mr. Harris is in Washington, content ed with his position, and yet liis ene mies (not his friends) in order to weak en another candidate, drag him into the race and swear by all that is holy that lie is a candidate and abuse him as a bushwhacker and everything else on that line. Now, as a friend of Col. ( Harris, 1 imagine this is not very pala table to his many former supporters throughout the district. Certainly, when a man seeks rest from such tur moil it should not be denied him. But, Mr. Editor, all this is done to injure another true and good man who is an avowed candidate for Congres sional honors, John II. Traylor. Why should it be charged that such a man as Col. Traylor should or could be used as the service tool of any man or set of men? Has lie not lived among these people long enough to establish a char acter for uprightness and Christian in tegrity? Has he not borne the honors with which the people of this country clothed him with becoming dignity and honor? What is it, then, that makes his aspirations for Congress so utterly fatal? The truth is, that the oppo nents of Col. Traylor see in him a strong man, ready and equipped for the highest honor his people can bestow. They see in him a man in full sympa thy with the suffering masses of the people, who fully realizes the burdens that have fallen upon them so heavily. A farmer himself, he has himself felt the woes with which the business in terests of this Southern country have struggled for a quarter of a century. Is it unreasonable that the farmers of this dist rict should desire one of their own persuasion and calling in life to oc casionally represent them in the halls of Congress? Coming down to common sense, is it not just and right that once in a while a purely agricultural district should send a farmer to represent them? It will not do to say that they are not capable, for in their ranks are men the peers of any in the other professions. Such a man is John H. Traylor. For one, as a Troup county man, I am proud of him as a citizen and legisla tor, for he is “pure as gold and as true as steel.” Primary elections settled one thing beyond a doubt—Troup county will give her support to Traylor, and we have faith to believe that he will carry every county north of Pine Mountain. His moral code is completely set aside in the shere of his money-making. Principles that he would count most im portant in a theory of morals are wholly inoperative in his financial ca reer. lie slaughters widows and or phans with Ms fiscal sword, he remorse lessly sends his rival to pauperism and suicide, he manufactures false stock and seizes upon illegal dividends, and he uses the confidence of the unsus pecting for their ruin. This system, rapidly growing upon us, is poisoning t he whole public body, and making lying and stealing and fraud subjects of merriment where they should be provocatives of indignation and retri bution. So possessed is the public mind of this idea of our modern money- hunters, that even the perfectly inno cent man of wealth cannot escape the imputation that liis money was gotten by ways that are dark. The people have come to believe that great wealth im plies great rascality. It is a very false judgment, and yet the reason for it is in the evident rascality with which so many have grasped their gold. The injury done to the family is also an injury done to the State, for the fam ily is the unit of the State. Where the men of the family are in the wild pur suit of wealth the basis of family affec tion and morality cannot exist. That basis is mutual confidence and ulti mate confidences. But the gold chase gives no time for this. The man is a sort of boarder in Jiis own house. He flits in and out like a stranger. His heart is elsewhere. So wife and child ren are without their proper guide and stay. They seek for amusement in questionable quarters. They find other centres than the home. The husband (house bond, if that be the proper ori gin of the word) is not in his .place and the house is disintegrated. .Disorders of every sort enter such a family, and the increase of wealth only intensifies the symptoms.

Jacksonville Times-Union. The proposition of Senator Brown, of Georgia, to consolidate the internal revenue districtsof Georgia and Florida in order to get rid of Collector Cren shaw will hardly succeed, for even if Senator Colquitt should not be able to defeat the proposed amendment be fore the Senate, it would hardly be able to run the gauntlet of the House and the President. The idea of merging the district of Florida into the Georgia district is ridiculous when we take into eonsider- aton the relative position of the two States as regards revenue collections. We are reliably informed that the col lections in Florida for the fiscal year “Matilda,” fervently exclaimed the love-lorn youth, “I can no longer en dure the expense and uncertainty. I must know my fate this night. For months I have carried your image in my heart.
