bill?

The Pollard-Breckenridge scan¬
dal is assuming such proportions as
is pictured in “In Office.”
Atlanta, as usual, has overcome
every obstacle that thteatened tbe
success of her great exposition.
The latest dispatches from Wash¬
ington say that Senator Colquitt
cannot live but a few hours, with¬
out a favorable change, which is
not expected.
THAT SILVER PLANK.
Below we give the financial plank
contained in the National Demo¬
cratic platform of 1892. Should
Mr. Cleveland veto the Bland bill
for tbe coinage of the seigniorage
the people have the right to judge
for themselves as to his deviation
from the platform on which he went
before tbe people and was elected.
That part of the platform reads:
“We denounce tbe republican legisln
tinn known as the Sherman act of 1890,
jig a cowardly makeshift, fraught with
possibilities of danger in the future,
which should make all of its supporters,
as well as its author, anxious for its
speedy repeal. tVe hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard mon¬
ey oi the country, and to the coinage of
both gold and si ver without discrimina¬
tion against cither metal, or charge for
mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value or be adjusted
through international ngreemein, or by
such soleguardsof legislation as shall in¬
sure tlie maintenance of tire party of the
two ruetals and the equal power of every
dollar at ail times in the markets and in
payments of debts; and we demand that
all paper currency shall be kept at par
with and redeemable in such coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially nec¬
essary for the protection ot the .farmers
u d laboring classes, the first and most
defenseless victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.
We have a personal letter from
^prominent young attorney in sou h
east Georgia, in which he intimates
that Hon. Rufus E. Lester’s en¬
trance into the race tor governor is
not an impossibility. Should Col.
Lesler’s friends succeed in bringing
him into the race, be will make it
lively for Atkinson and Evans in
our section.
THEY MEET.
General Evans and Hon. W, Y.
Atkinson had their first joint debate
at Griffin on Wednesday. The At¬
lanta Journal gives a seeming im¬
partial statement of the gre-tt day,
ami says that there was the wild¬
est enthusiasm for both Gen. Evans
and Mr. Atkinson.
There was plenty of corn liquor
on hand and the usual disorder ac¬
companied.
The platform broke down before
the speaking began, but no one was

THE BLAND BILL
PASSES THE SENATE
And Is Ready to be Signed.
From our regular Corremondent.
Washington, March 19th. 1894.
What will President Cleveland
do with the Bland bill for the coin¬
age of the seigniorage? There is
more anxiety among democrats to
have this question answered than
has been observable for a long time.
It involves a great deal more than
the mere coinage of 55,000,000 sil¬
ver dollars, for which it provides.
It will decide whether the attempt
now being made to unite the demo¬
crats in Congress and the adminis¬
tration on a basis of let-bv-gones-be
be-by-gones shall be a failure, or a
success that will enable the party
to go into the Congressional cam¬
paign with a reasonable hope of re¬
taining control of the Houbo. It
may also decide the fate ot the tar¬
iff bill, as there are many demo¬
crats in both House and Senate
whose constituents are more direct¬
ly interested in silver than in the
tariff. A number of eastern demo¬
crats who did everything in their
power to prevent Congress passing
the Bland bill are now advising the
President to sign the bill, or at least
to allow it to become a law without
his signature if he feels that he can
not conscientiously sign it, and sil¬
ver democrats who have not been
in the White House since the big
silver fight at the extra session have
gone to Mr. Cleveland and urged
as a matter of party policy that
the bill be allowed to become a law.
The silver democrats of the 'west
and south-how numerous they are
in Congress may be seen by refer¬
ring to the vote on this bill on both
House and Senate-, mar y ot whom
supported the administration
against their own convictions in se¬
curing the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law,
say that the veto of this bill will be
accepted as proof positive by thous¬
ands of their constituents that Pres¬
ident Cleveland is unalterably op¬
posed to silver, and that the result
would certainly be disastrous in the
Congressional elections. Three
membeis of the cabinet—Secreta¬
ries Gresham, Smith and Herbert
have advised Mr. Cleveland to sign
the bill. It is believed that the
delegation of New York bankers
who are here asking that the bill
be vetoed are adding to its chances
of becoming a law. In fact, there
has been a change in public opin¬
ion within a week, aud a majority
now believe that the bill will be¬
come a law, with or without the
President’s signature.
The revised tarifFbill will report¬
ed to the Senate this week, and the
debate will begin Monday, April 2.
This is authentic and official. No
oue can possibly regret the unex¬
pected delay in getting the bill be¬
fore the Senate morejthan Undem¬
ocratic members of the Finance
committee do. They have worked
until they are almost in a state of
exhaustion, but fresh obstacles
have constantly confronted them,
and as they could not be avoided
they have had to be overcome.
Since tbe bill has been before the
full committee the republicans have
taken advantage of every opportu¬
nity to add to the delay, and owiog
to the absence of Senator Yance,
these opportunities have been fre¬
quent. The fact should not be for¬
gotten by critically inclined demo¬
crats that when all of the members
of the'Finance committee are pres¬
ent the democrats have only one
majority. With one democratic
absentee the committae is a tie po¬
litically. It was the absence of
Senator Vance that enaoled the re¬
publicans on the committee to stave
off the beginning of the debate un¬
til April 2.
Unless all indications are at fault
the administration will soon start
a programme that will cause the
working democrats to enter the
Congressional campaign with en¬
thusiasm. I cannot without violat¬
ing confidence enter into particu¬
lars, but if this programme be car¬
ried Aut the republicans who still
remain in federal offices, outside
the classified service, would better
be looking for new jobs, unless they
have money enough to spend tbe
summer in idh ness. Those
crats who believe that the
under a democratic
should be filled by democrats
be pleased with some things
will occur in the near futuie,
my information is wrong.
Representative Tucker, of
although not yet 41 years old,
a right to feel proud of the part he
baa taken in shaping the legislation
of the present Congress. Although
there were several other bills pro¬
viding for the same thing it was
his bill for the repeal of the federal
election laws that was reported,
passee snd which became a law.
Another compliment has just been
paid the skill of Mr. Tucker by the
House committee on the election of
President anil Vice President and
Representatives in Congress, which
selected his joint resolution provid¬
ing for a Constitutional amend¬
ment for the election of Senators
by direct vote of the people, al¬
though there were several others of
a similar nature before theuommit
tee, to be favorably reported toi the
House.
The House has been working
faithfully on the regular annual ap¬
propriation bills and it has been
making a good record, both in the
quantity of business done and in
the amount of money appropriated
—every appropriation has been re¬
duced materially.
Mr. W. W. Hill, of Sycamore,
was in town yesterday and bis
many friends were glad to see him.
Speaking of the gubernatorial race
Mr. Hill said : “Although I am for
Gen. Evans there is not the least
doubt that my county will go over¬
whelming in favor of Mr. Atkinson.”
Mr. Hill is one of those few who
believes in the old adage, “an hon¬
est confession is good for tbe soul,”
and there are lots of men who will
have to admit that Atkinson leads
“ere the lilies bloom again.”—Mon¬
tezuma Record.

And the briar herles’bout to bloom;
Not a cloud in all oar skies!
Wo publish in this issue s letter
from Mr. S. E. Coleman, of Ocalla,
in which, he favors the candidacy
of Hon. W. Y. Atkinson. The let¬
ter came in last week, but was
inevitably crowded out.
