DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL TICKET
Election November (1th, 1804.
Fwr Member of Congress, Fourth Diet.
CHARLES L. MOSES, of Coweta.
Our Governor-Elect.
At noon to-morrow, before the joint
assembly of the Legislature, Hon. W.
V. Atkinson will bo installed as Gover
nor of Georgia. The ceremonies at
tending the inauguration will bo of a
most imposing character, and this in
terest will be measurably enhanced by
Clio distinguished personality of the
mnn upon whom the mantle of execu
tive authority will fall. lie will bo tho
youngest man to bo inducted into this
high and responsible ofllce since anto-
hellum days, end his installation will
mark tho culmination of an nmbilion
which has bei n achieved in the face of
more difficulties, perhaps, than over
confronted a candilate for this ofllce
in Georgia. The fact that lie has been
able to overcome all obstacles—that lie
has been able to triumph over the com
bined opposition of the peculiar and
bitterly partisan elements which were
united against him—is the strongest
possible evidence of his force and pop
ularity as a leader among men.
Rut if conspicuous for tactical uhility
and intelligence if magnetic and at
tractive in his personality—he is even
more distinguished for his strong
(non sense, and for his native honesty
aiad uprightness. Those characteristics
have been at once the foundation of his
remarkable success as a publicist, and
the crowning glory of a private life
that has been pure and stainless.
Surely, Georgia has never hail a Gov
(truer who embodied stronger points of
charnel or, in all tbit goes to make a
conservative and able executive, and wo
piodict that his administration will |ho
one of die most brilliant and successful
i i tho history of the State. His higl
sense of duty and olllclul rectitude will
p ace him above (hit plam>of mere fum
tionul authority, and he will not cease
to grow in the esteem of the people
while lie remains in ofllce.
Long life to Gov. Atkinson, and sue
cess to his administration!
In his opening remarks last Wednes
day, in the court-house, Col. Carey J.
Thornton resented what he seemed to
regard as a personal attack U|>on his
character by tho editor of this paper.
Tho Colonel was'mistaken in his infer
ence, if he read our article;—misin
formed, if his information war received
nt second hand. We made no person-
I assault, but did attack his political
record, and for vory good reasons. He is
posing before the white contingent of
tho Third l’arty as nn original Jefferso
nian, and at the same time plays for the
negro vote by boldly proclaiming that
ho was an office-holder under llullock
and a men,bor of tho infamous Union
league. The Colonel does not deny that
he is u Republican, and, if a sympathi
zer witli this political party, he certain
ly will not have tho hardihood to claim
kinship witli tho followers of Thomas
Jefferson. The truth of the matter is,
Col. Thornton is a demagogue, and one
of tho most mischievous typos of this
pestiferous class that has made its ap
penrance in Georgia politics since the
lays of Bullock, Blodgett and Bryant.
TllK General Assembly mot Wednes
day in annual session, and organized by

vv'itch the Fourth district gets more
than $35,000. lie has secured a favora
ble report upon his bill to increase all
Mexican and Indian war pensions to

i*. He has secured appropriations for

10. lie secured an appropriation of

ral districts.
U. He is a member of the Committee

12. Asa member of tho committee ho
helped frame the antboption bill to
prevent gambling iu cotton futures.
13. The colored people should vote

no colored man lius ever voted against
him.
14. Mr. Moses was raised on a farm,
lives on a farm, and has always devo
ted himself to the upbuildiug of agri
cultural Interests. He is the farmer’s
faithful friend, and not one of them

TllK proceedings of the llfty-lirst an-
nunl session of the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows of Georgia,hold at Augus
ta iu August, have just been published.
The report is an exceedingly interest
ing one, showing tho progress of Odd
Fellowship in Georgia. Tho Grand
Secretary’s report shows a total of I2()
lodges, with a membership of 6,131.
The number of new members dnrmg
last year was 737. Tho number admit
ted by card wits 197, and the number
reinstated 50, making the total increase
in membership 0h7. There were 87
deaths of members. In all, the amount
paid out for relief was $0,400.60
Sixty six families and 405 members of
the order were afforded relief during
tho year. '
LaGkanhf. Ucporter: ‘‘Mr. Moses
should have t he vote of every Democrat
in tho Fourth district. There should
bo thorough organization of the party
iu every county, and faithful work
should be done in the matter of bring
ing every one to tho polls. The same
lethargy on the part of Democrats and
the same activity on the part of the
Populists, that were shown in the State
election, will prove fatal to Democratic
hopes, if repeated in November. Ry
prompt action we can overcomo the
Populist majority that was recently
rolled up in several counties of this
district, tait it cannot be done without
timely and constant work." '
Fit a n k t.i n yews uml Banner: “Th >
only correct way to judge a public
servant Is by his record. Congressman
Moses lias a record to be proud of. He
lias done bis duty valiantly and ably,
lie has stood squarely by the people in
every instance, working without fear
or favor for the interests of the muss
es. There is not a llaw in Ills record.
The voters should be glad to indorse
him."
Tit i: speeches of Thornton and Harris
on Wednesday last had one good ef
fect. The possibility of having such a
man to represent us in Congresses
Thornton showed himself to be, lias
thoroughly an used the county Democ
racy, and during the next ten days
there will be some lively compaigning
in old Coweta.
A Card From Congressman Moses.
To the Voters of the Fourth C< ngres-
sional District: My opponent for Con-
f ;ress has scattered over the distiict a
otter written by me over a year ago to
T. J. Watt, ttie late postmaster at Col
umbus, Ga., the object of which is to
prejudice the colored voters against
me. When that letter is explained
every honest colored man will applaud
my course in .regard to ex-Postmaster
Watt. The facts are as follows;
Mr. Watt was first appointed p >st- j
master at Columbus as a Democrat, by j
Mr. Cleveland. He claimed to be a
Democrat, und had Democratic clerks I
under him. As soon as Mr. Harrison j
was elected, in 1888, he began to afllli
ate with the Republicans, and appoint- j
ed llepub ican clerks and mail carriers
under him, in order to keep Iris place.
When Mr. Cleveland defeated Mr.
Harrison, in 1892, he again claimed to
be a Democrat, immediately turned
out his colored clerks, and demanded
tho resignations of the colored mail car
riers. These dorks and carriers made
complaint to the Democratic Postmas
ter-General that Mr. Watt had turned
them out without cause, in order to
save his own place. Mr. Bissell, the
Postmaster-General, sent for mo, and
after investigation, wo decided that
Postmaster Watt himself should go
out, if his dorks had to go. Some of
those dorks had violated the law by
leaving their places and going down
into Chattahoochee county beforo the
election taxwork for the Populist can
didate against me. In my letter to
Mr. Watt I told him that if he had
really wished to remove those clerks he
could havo done so thon, when ho had
some cause.
Mr. Watt’s plan seemed to bo to af
filiate with whatever party happened
to be in power.
If a man is a Domocrat, he should be
one; if a R publican, lie ought not to
bn ashamed to own his party. Mr.
Watt turned out hm colored employ
ees, and then be himself wus turned
out. One of the colored mail carriers
whose resignation was denvindod by
Mr. Watt is still in the ofllce working
under Mr. Redd, tho present Demo-
cratic postmaster.
I write this in ordor that the people
may know the truth. I have always
dealt candidly and honestly with the
colored peoplo. That they recognize
me as a friend is shown by the fact
that not one of them has over voted
against me in my homo district, ut Tu
rin. Very truly,
C. L. Mosks.

HERRING & RAMEY.
C’aisi y J. Thornton’s eaudidacy for
Congress represents nothing on God’s
green earth save the personal ambition
of a political marplot. He will scruple
at nothing to accomplish his ends, and
is utterly unworthy the support of good
men.
Every sensible, right-thinking white
man in the county should boar in mind
that a vote for Carey J. Thornton n a
vote for Republicanism, and thqt Re
publicanism is opposed to everything
that the South holds dear.
\\ y. must not wait until the day of
election bofore going to work. This is
the mistake that was made in the State
election, and weeanno' afford to repeat
it iu the C tigressiongl election. Every
Jhmocrnt should ye to work now.'
