General Gordon makes a great

his post.
----- « -*»♦ --- -
The determination of the enter¬
prising citizens of Atlanta to have
the Cotton States ar d Internation¬
al Exposition in the fall of ’95, has
our most enthusiastic approvul and
support. Tne aotion of mayor
Goodwin in vetoing the City Coun¬
cil’s order to purchaee Piedmont
Park to aid the Exposition Compa¬
ny, is in simple justioe to the re¬
sponsibilities of his office. To have
approved the order would be as il¬
legal as a protective tariff.

The LnGrange Graphic says :
“General Evans does not ask the
office of governor as a ‘reward,’ nor
the support of voters on a mere sen¬
timent. In the enjoyment of good
health, his mental faculties bright
and unimparied, bis judgement rip¬
ened by experience and posessing
every requisite to fill the guberna¬
torial office, he asks the support of
the people whom he has served all
his life on his merits.”
Gibson Record.—The Record
doesn’t see any reason why Mr. Nes¬
bitt should not be re-elected to look
after the state agricultural affairs.
Wayeross Herald.—South Geor¬
gia from the Atlantic to the Ala*
hama line, is virtually solid for
Evans and Turner.
Garrard, Bacon, Northern, Col¬
quitt, duBiguort-for the United
States Senate. These noted sons of
Georgia have announced them¬
selves as cadnidates before the next
legislature to succeed Senator Col¬
quitt.
Mr. Turner and Speaker Crisp
are also probable candidates.
Our section would cheerfully sup¬
port either Mr. Turner or Mr. Crisp,
but if they do not enter the race,
duBignon will be the next Senator.
THE WAYCK08S WAR.
Much h«8 been said of late about
Governor Northen’s action in order¬
ing out the malitia and taking oth¬
er steps to prevent the Corbett
Mitchell fight taking place on Geor¬
gia soil.
This action has not been comment
ed upon at any length by The News
and while it is our judgement that
the governor acted without mature
deliberation, we are as much of the
opinion that his motives were of
the best character and that his
great effort was for the protection
of our state law and of the morals
of our people.
The action of the immortal ‘28’
answers the question as to the dif¬
ference between eastern democrats
and republican*.

If J. M. Dupree, can defeat speak¬

Washington, Fob., 26.
From our regular Corrcxnondent.
Harmony among the democratic
Senators on the tariff bill is not
yet as complete as it might be, al¬
though concessions have been
that it was hoped would secure it.
Having held the bill until they
could see no prospect of benefit to
be gained by further delay, the
sub-committee this morning sub'
mitted it to the full Finance com¬
mittee, which in turn submitted it
to a caucus of democratic Senators,
not for the purpose of compelling
any Senator to support it, but for
a sort of family consultation at
which all complaints could be hoard
and every body could have a chance
to aid in bringing about the harmo¬
nious action that will be absolutely
necessary to pass the bill, even al¬
lowing that the populist Senators
will vote for it, as they say they
will because of the retention to the
income tax. The caucus appears to
have had a good effect and Sena¬
tors who have been worrying are
row emiling over the prospects for
democratic unity.
It is expected that the Finance
committee will at onee report the
bill to the Senate, although there
are indications of an intention on
the part of the republican members
of the committee to attempt to de¬
lay action on the plea that they
should de given time to prepare a
minority report against the bill.
They may be given several days to
prepare their report, but the demo¬
cratic sentiment is so atrongly in
favor of prompt and speedy action
that their time is bound to be cut
short. They should not really be
given a day, as the report can be
made at any time after the bill
has been reported.
Much uneasiness is felt among
Senators at the reports concerning
the condition of Senator Vance’s
health, which is now said to be
continuallj getting worse. He has
not been able to perform any duties
at this session, but his friends-that
includes everyone who ever came
in contact with him-are loth to be¬
lieve that his illness is hopeless, as
press dispatches report it to be.
It has been apparent ever since
this Congress got down to business
that there was a weak spot in the
rules of the House, but it was not
until the long contest fora quorum
to vote on the Bland bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage, the end
of which is not in sight yet, showed
the helplessness of the House in
the absence of a voting quorum
thxt members became fully aroused
to tho necessity of a change. But
they are now, and nearly 150 dem¬
ocratic members have signed a call
for a caucus to be held as Boon as
the Bland bill is disposed of, to de¬
cide upon the nature of the change
to be made. Democrats do not wish
the Speaker to follow Reed and
count a quorum, hut a large major¬
ity of them want a rule that will
prevent members sitting in the
House and refusing to vote to
make a quorum, and they are going
to have one, too.
The Senate committee on Print¬
ing has begun the investigation of
charges of the improper sward of
the contract for publishing the
Patent Office Gazette, but the evi¬
dence so far taken amounts to noth¬
ing, and the source from which the
charges came is of itself almost
sufficient to disprove them.
The feeling among southern deni¬
ocrats in Congress on account of
the recent speech of ex-Congress
man Abram S. Hewit.t.of New York,
has been greatly exaggerated. With
few exceptions the southern Cong¬
ressmen regard the matter with en¬
tile indifference. Representative
Caruth, of Ky., says : “He is in his
dotage,” make Mr. Hewitt a nation¬
al issue by talking about what he
says. Many of the older members
recall numerous instances of Mr.
Ilewitt’B devotion when in the
House to protection and opposi¬
tion to any tariff reform that cut
into any of the btininesses that he
or bis father-in-law- -the late Peter
Cooper-had money invested in and
smile at his attack on democratic
Congressmen of the present dav.
When a member of Congress Mr.
Hewitt enjoyed the reputation of
being a common scold.
Senator Faulkner, of W. Va.,
chairman of the Democratic Con¬
gressional Campaign Committee,
has named the following gentle¬
men as members of the executive
committeo: Senators Jones, of Ark.,
White, of Cal., Mitchell, of Wis.,
Smith, of N. J., and Pasco, of Fla.,
and Representatives Pigott, of Con.
McAleer, of Pa., Bynum, ot Ind.,
McMillin, ofTenn., McRae., of Ark.
Whiting, of Micb., Heard, ol Mo.,
Wheeler, of Ala., Sones, of Va., and
Forman, of Ill., A meeting of the
entire committee has been called
for tomorrow, to map out the out¬
lines of the campaign work, and to
select a smaller committee to take
actual charghjof it.
Albany Herald : It really makes
the average newspaper reader tired
to peruse the dispatches eent out
from Washington, giving accounts
ol the arrest ol Congressmen, their
arraignment and how they kick. It
is a shame and a disgrace that the
chosen servants of the people
should have to be driven by law to
the performance of their sworn
duty.
Worth Local: There are hun ¬
dreds of men in Georgia who fought
as hard for the South as Evans did
in the ’60’s or as hard for democ
raevas Atkinson did in ’92, but
they are staying quietly at home,
raising hog and hominy, and ask¬
ing no other reward than that of
an approving conscience for a dutv
well done.”
COLONEL ATKINSON.
The position we have assumed
with reference to the gubernatorial
contest between General Evans and
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson will not be
used to do injustice to Mr. Atkin*
son. Our columns shall be, as they
always have been, free for a reason¬
able expression of the views of
those of our friends who are not a
greed with us on matters a ecling
the interest of our common people.
Some of our best friends are strong
in the advocacy of Mr. Atkinson’s
candidacy and we shall not deny
them a representation in the col¬
umns of The News. Careful inqui¬
ry justifies the statement that pos¬
sibly Mr. Atkinson is stronger in
Irwin than any other county in the
utate except Coweta, Mr. Atkinson’s
home county, and still it is reason¬
ably certain that our county will
go for Gen. Evass.
Mr. Atkinson served the party
well in all the positions of trust
and confidence with which the peo¬
ple have honored him, and n jw he
resigns that position and trust and
calls upon the people to reward
him again for what waR only a rea¬
sonable duty, and for which he has
been well paid.
We truly regret that his youth¬
ful ambition is to be so unmerciful¬
ly wafted.about in the great Evans
tidal wave.
