All is not a gold brick that glit ters. Borne Tribune. No. Much of it is only the promises of professional politicians. While the News does not seri ously object to tin* cartoons in the Journal and Constitution, it is compelled to draw the line at tin- alleged poetry that accompanies the Constitution’s pictures. It is sufficient to cause any constant reader to desire to commit suicide. Momc squeamish folks are vis isbly agitated by the political car toons appearing in the Journal and Constitution. While it is true they cannot be classed as works of art and may offend good taste, still, the gentlemen who are being cartooned are not losing any sleep, so why should art critics mourn? The way State newspapers and politicians opposed to Hoke Smith love all tiie other candidates is af fecting. It is almost sufficient to draw tears from the eyes of a brass monkey. Only the most strenu ous efforts of election officers will prevent lots of these fellows from voting in the primary for Col. Ms- till, Judge Bussell, Dr. Nuunally and Jim Smith—and—perhaps— for Howell. The News favors a fair, square, I open,honorable contest in the elec tion of every public official, from governor down to bailiff. The men who win in contests of that kind deserve the offices and will doubtless (ill them to the satisfac tion of the people. Men who win offices by deception, trickery and the mutitudiuous practices of pro- , fessional politicians are never worthy of the oiliees entrusted to them and never fill these positions witli fidelity to the people. One of the most ridiculous inci dents of the gubernatorial cam paign is the Constitution's etlbrt to make capital against the dis franchisement issue by exploiting the bill to reduce Southern repre sentation in Congress. Mimilar lulls have been introduced at al most every session of (‘ongress during the past twenty years. They have all failed, and this latest bill will never pass. If passed, it would la* unconstitu tional. as representation in Con gress is based upon population and not upon the number of voters, or number of votes east, in a Congres sional district. Tin* Constitution is well aware ol these facts; and its etVorts to club the voters of Geor gia into submission to its wishes with this infamous bludgeon of Northern manufacture is one of the smallest and dirtiest jobs the Constitution lias undertaken in this campaign.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. If there is any one agency in the State of Georgia to be blamed for the unseemly gubernatorial race now under full steam in Georgia, it is the Georgia Railroad Commis sion. The people of the State,from the mountains to the coast, have 'supplicated at the feet of this trio ot weaklings for some kind of jus tice at their hands. They have repeatedly protested against dis- I crimination in matter of freight rates and hearing after hearing has been had with the same old stereotyped report. In mo single instance has the de- j mauds of the people of Georgia j been given the proper attention by ; the com mission, who sit in Atlanta j and apparently spend more of their time boosting one of the candidates for governor than they do in serv- | ing the people whose servants they ; are. Enterprising business men all over Georgia who are posted on the true situation have gone lie- fore the commission; Griffin and Columbus and Macon have all filed protests and countless other com plaints have been lodged in At lanta, but they invariably fall up on deaf ears and probably lind lodgement in a convenient waste basket in the office of the commis sion. The result is that Hoke Smith, seeing the position of the commis sion, made its lethargy the sub ject of attack and inculcated in bis platform a demand for better freight rates in Georgia. It is conceded that he today is the leading candidate in the race for governor and one of the reasons is that the people of Georgia are tired and sick of this present rail road commission and are going to rebuke it by voting for the man who is making a light on it.— Brunswick News. Dr. Nunnally’s Criffin Speech. (From the Griflln Daily Call.) Dr. G. A. Nunnally’s address Saturday morning, while a strong one in many respects, was disap pointing, in Uiat^lie did not advo cate any definite policy of state government not already announced by his opponents. His principles were enunciated in general terms, and in but one instance was he definite. That was his disapprov al of free passes. More than one-half of his time was devoted to intemperate abuse of Hon. Hoke Smith, and in order to make his abuse effective he mis represented Mr. Smith's position on several issues. Dr. Nnnnally accuses Mr. Smith of wobbling on railroad regula tion, while every one knows that Mr. Smith is now just where he was at the beginning, not for con fiscation but for domestication. Mr. Smith desires to compel do mestication by enacting a statute to prevent foreign corporations do ing railroad business in Georgia. Of course every one knows that the effect of this would be that the foreign corporations would file their charters in Georgia, and thus become amenable to state laws and courts. Hr. Nnnnally further accuses Mr. Smith of advocating the dis franchisement of illiterate whites, while just the reverse is true. Mr. Smith’insists that this is a white man’s country; that the negroes should never have been given the ballot, and he advocates such measures as will effectually undo that wrong, but at the same time preserve the ballot to every white man, on account of his inherent qualities of character and love of liberty. But the most bitter assault Dr. Nnnnally makes on Mr. Smith is his connection with the Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta. Dr. Nnnnally failed to say what he knew to be true, that Hon. Hoke Smith was a minority stockholder in that com pany; that when the hotel was built the stockholders did not in tend to run a hotel, but afterward, when they could not lease it, they were compelled to do so, and Mr. Smith at that time protested against installing a bar, and when the majority of the stockholders forced it, he compelled them to keep separate accounts of the bar, and that he had always Refused to touch a cent of this money, but gave direction that those operating it apply what would otherwise come to him, to charitable pur poses. What more could he have done? Dr. Nuunally is not adding anything to his own reputation for fairness when he so unneces sarily abuses an honorable op ponent for what he cannot help.
