Three assistant candidates and myself constitute the Democratic party in Georgia. Please quit punching the party’s ribs.—Clark Howell. As the 22u(l day of August draws near, the amalgamated gubernatorial candidates see their finish looming up as large as the Allegheny mountain range. Last week’s installment of the Newnan Howell-Russell indicated very forcibly that this ancient and esteemed political wind instrument s not in harmony with itself. Clark and his assistant candi dates are hearing the “come back" call every hour during these stenu <>us days just before the battle. Hut the Constitution hasn’t noticed it. ity.

The railroads claim the depot they desire to build—the structure Newnan people want—cannot be built unless Savannah street is closed. If this be true (and The News is not prepared to disap prove the assertion), the News fa vors closing Savannah street. The railroads claim that the street can be extended on the west side of the Atlanta and West Point rail- Congressman has doubtless decid ed that it will be unwise to take the bull by the horns this time. Last week’s Newnan Clark-Dick estimated the crowd at the barbe cue at 1,800 to 2,000 and in the next sentence quoted “a well known and reputable citizen” who “counted the people as they came on the grounds” and found that the crowd numbered exactly 2,- 460 people. Such a modest'news' paper is the Howell-Russell. Placed its estimate 460 to 660 be low the number ol people present by actual count; and then sent a dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu tion saying thal 2,000 voters heard Russell speak here.

The News believes that an equi table adjustment ot this matter can be reached with but little in jury to property owners on Savan nah street. Therefore, The News favors the preparation and pas sage of a special bill to enable the Mayor and Council to close Sa vannah street for union passenger station purposes. This bill should recite all the details of the trans action and specify just what the railroads are to give the city in re turn for the privilege of closing this street. The News believes the railroads ought to grade the street to connect Savannah and Salbide avenue, and ought to pay all damages (if any arise) result ing to property owners from the the rm * m f ,,r more than a year, our prepared by the friends of the un Carrollton neighbors, the Times and Free Press, have found it nec essary to double-quick to the res cue of the Democratic party; and en stealing syndicate and that Hoke Smith is the president of the concern? We can but admire the modesty ot this virtuous and un spotted newspaper and approve its leniency in refusing to publish all these things; yet stern justice de mands that the dear people should know it all. The Honorable Clark Howell is in deep water, but a straw might save him. Will the Constitution neglect to hand him the straw? The corporations are throwing in all kinds of life-pre servers, including Dick Russell, Jim Smith, Estill, etc. They are getting all kinds of statements, affidavits and slanderous cartoons and Tom Watson bugaboos to help their man to land once more, but these are so spongy and absorb so much woter, they are only drag ging the poor fellow down instead of bringing him up. Poor Clark; his case seems hopeless! The self- sacrifice of some of his friends is certainly commendable, especially the three so-called candidates for governor, who are running the race for him. Fverybo ly admires the wisdom of Dr. Nunnally, who, when he as certained that his candidacy was to be in the interests of another, calmly withdrew, showing himself to be a true gentleman and an honest Democrat. The Constitu tion has encouraged every candi date who would oppose Hoke Smith, and used its most persua sive arguments with the Populists to get them to put a candidate in the field, hinting at a probability of their candidate winning. The Re publicans also have been covertly invited to enter the race.
