No two papers in the Second Con
gressional district have had so much
to say about “fairness” since the open
ing of the present campaign as the
Thomasvllle News and the Cuthbert
Liberal-Enterprise, both ardent sup
porters of the Alliance political ma
chine and Its candidate for Congress.
And yet these esteemed contempora
ries will not always accord the meas
ure of fairness to others that they de
mand for themselves. These two pa
pers have kept up a cross-fire on the
Hkkald and have plied It with all sorts
of queries, appealing to our “fairness”
for the purpose of getting admissions
from us which they supposed It might
be embarrassing to us to make from
the standpoint of a supporter of the
action of the District Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee. Without dodging
any Issue or evading nny direct query,
we have tried to meet them fairly.
Now, let us show what kind of fair
ness the Herald has received In re
turn, and in doing this wo will nt the
same time show some other things of
inure interest to the public In connec
tion with the grent howl that has been
set up by these Stevens organs against
tho action of the District Democratic
Executive Committee.
A few extracts will bring out the
facts wo want to have the people of the
district understand:
Last week the Cuthbert Liberal-En
terprise said:
Nntiruly rinentlntlH the rilfitt of tho District
Committee to recommend that all the countie,
elect delegatCH on a stated day. Uni to recom
mend I. one thing, and to IIx and Instruct Is
MUltc another thing. When ten men assume
the authority to say to the llomocrate of llflenn
counties, -you shall elect delegates lf> your Con
gressional convention on July noth, and on no
other day—If elected contrary to these instruc
tions they will not he recognised ns loyal Demo
crats,’' the people propose to -rlso to n Iinestlnn
of personal privilege,- ami ask that they Is* al
lowed it voice in thu management of their ow n
affairs. -It, llohhs, Chairman," may -count u
■inorum" and pass thu hill on August I7lh, hut
the people wilt vein It November ‘2ml, Let thu
procession proceed.
Reproducing tho above, the IIkiiai.d
said by way of comment:
Editor On 1111 knows better than tills.
Ho knows full well that the District
KxeoutlveC0111111ilt.ee did nothing more
tlinn recommend that all the counties
elect delegates on tho 80th of July.
'There wnB nothing ninndntory In the
action of thu committee, and the quo
tation mado I11 the foregoing “you
shall, cto„” amounts to downright mis
representation. The published^ pro
ceedings of the committee speak fur
themsel'
ves, and Editor Gunn can cor
rect himself if he will, will he be fnir
enough to do It?
Reproducing both the abuve ex
tracts, the Thomnsvllle Nows of Tues
day, under the heading, “An Uncondi
tional Surrender," says:
-The Dlstrlet Kxeeutlve Cnnp'.iiUeo did noth
ing inure Ilian rccummond that nil the counties
elect dulugatea on thu noth of July. TIhm-c was
nothing mandatory in thu ncliun of thu com
mittee."
These ore significant words, trim words, and
If they had heen uttered nt the aliening of tho
campaign, and if the campaign hint iMien car
ried out 011 that lino, thu Second Congressional
district would not ho In tho thmos of divisions
mid wrangllngs such ns have never heen known
before,
Editor McIntosh held n proxy ut thu eoimnlt-
teo mooting that -recommended" primaries,
and therefore lio hit* some right to know where
of ho speaks.
Nuw let us prove that this Is not the
first time these “significant words”
have bean uttered In the present cam
paign—uttered by the Herald, and
that, too, In direct response to the
Tliomasvllle News.
In the Daily IIehald of May 17, the
following appeared:
The Alsant it eh a i.n gives the whole enseof
the Kxocullvo Committee away, wheu it oon*
feme, the recommendation ot an Executive
Committee cannot he mandatory.—Thomnsvllle
Nows.
No give away about it. The Herald
supports the action of the Demooratla
Exeeutlve Committee of the Second
Congressional district bearing upon
' ' tks that
the present campaign, and thin
every loyal Democrat in the district
lid abh
should abide It; yet we have never
assumed that tbe recommendations of
this ooramlttee, as a question of party
polity, were mandatory. It was the
Stevens organs that trier
tevens organs that tried to make It
appear that the dlstrlet committee bad
issued an order and prescribed an oath
for the express purpose of ruling all
Democrats who favor the demands of
tho Ooala platform out of the Demo
cratic primaries, it was in an article
correcting this strained and false con
struction of the committee’s action
that the IIehald said that every ex
eeutlve committee in our party system
was a power unto itself, and that tbe
recommendations of one committee
were not necessarily binding upon an
other. While we are of the opinion
that, the action of the district commit
tee was right and proper, yet we have
ee to oonfess that every county
been free
committee lias disoretloimry’ powers
and can regulate its meetings and the
things that come properly under its
jurisdiction to suit itself. Perhaps
the News will learn after awhile that
the Hkkald deals with the factB as it
finds them, and that its opinions are
dt
based upon reason, with due regard
for the facts, even in politics.
Thus it will be seen that the Hkkald
gave “the whole case of the Executive
Committee away,” according to the
confession of the News, prior to May
17, and was then reiterating and reaf
firming the words which the News has
just discovered to be so “significant.”
Further comment is unnecessary. We
submit the facts above, and will leave
it to the fair-minded people of the
Second distriot to say whether they
amount to a full vindication of the
Herald in its support of the aotlon of
the Demoo ratio Executive Committee.
Hr. Stevenson says the pronuncia
tion of his front name is “Adlee."
A WOHDBRFCL CASIPAIONEIL
Col. W. M. Hammond, of Thomas, is
a wonderful campaigner when he
starts.
He it was who led the fight against
the Republicans in Thomas, where,
with the assistance of a few scala
wags, they held on longer than in
most any of the counties of the Second
Congressional district, along in the
“Seventies,” before Slippery Dick
Wlilteley was finally routed.
He iB uncompiomlsing in his meth
ods. He carried the banner of pure
Democracy In those days and held it
aloft where others had let it trail in the
dust. In a county whose nearly every
elective office was filled by a Scalawag
or a Negro, lie made the fight for true
Democracy and was elected to the
Legislature. He carried no soft soap
nor honeyed words to tile enemy, but
met them boldly nnd made a thorough
canvnss of tile county, speaking in
every precinct and going from house
to house, even appealing to the women
to aruuse the white men, those “native
and to ttie manner born,” to a proper
sense of their duty.
And tile same man, after being out
of polities for a decade, made a speech
in Tliomasvllle on last Saturday which
lias again nruused the people ngainst
the disintegrating Influences thnthnve
been at wurk in not only Thomas, but
nearly every other county In tile dis
trict. Thuso who heal'd the speech
say that it was 1111 effort that would
have been worthy of Bcnjnmin II. Hill
or Robert Toombs lu their palmiest
days, and that it was the most scath
ing arraignment of Ocalaisin and
Third Partyism that lias been hoard
from any man in Georgia since these
disintegrating issues have been threat
ening thu Deinncratlu party of the
State. Tile effect of tile speech was
powerful, nml tile old-time, Simon-
pure Democratic spirit hns again been
fired in Thomas, ami will be heard
from in the primary election for dele
gates to the Congressional convention
on next Saturday,
Hammond has enlisted til the pres
ent campaign in thu Second Congres
sional district, not in Ills own hehnlf,
hut in the interest of Ren E. Russell
as the exponent of true Democracy.
Ami lie is working day and night.
He stops at nothing. An appoint
ment had been made for him to speak
at Morgan, Cnlhoun county, to-dny,
nnd noontide yesterday found him
nt his home in ThomiiBville. How
was he to reach Morgan by 10
o’clock to-dnyy Albany was the near
est point to Morgau tlmt could he
reached by rail, and this only by the
slow freight train with an uncertain
Bcliedule tlmt leaves Thomnsville some
time during the afternoun and getB to
Albany some time during the night.
Last night it arrived at about 11:80,
and Col. Hammond was on it, and that
noble old Roman, “R. Hobbs, Chair-
man,” was up to meet him. At 11 :l
yesterday Col. Hammond had wired
Capt. Hobbs asking if it would be pos
sible for him to get him through from
Albany to Morgan by private convey
ance in time to meet the appointment
at Morgan. Capt. Hobbs answered,
“Yes, come I” And then arrangements
were made for a good team to start
from here with Col. Hammond at 4
o'clock this morning, and a letter to
some of the faithful at Leary, sent out
by the afternoon train, brought this
telegram to Capt. Hobbs late in the
evening; “All right. Everything
will be ready.” The letter had asked
that a good breakfast and a fresh team
be ready for Col. Hammond on his ar
rival at Leary this morning, and the
telegram that came in reply tells the
rest.
Wherever Col. Hammond goes lie
carries the banner of true Demooraoy,
and his brilliant and untiring work in
the present campaign is entirely an
unselfish and patnotio one.
AT I.A9T THEY AGREE.
Congress has at last agreed on the
85,000,000 appropriation to the World’s
Fair.
It was strange that this most import
ant of all American enterprises should
have been delayed so long by a Con
gress of Araerioan people.
The appropriation barely went
through the House, the vote on the
measure being 118 to 107. All of Geor
gia’s Cougressmen voted against it.
Millions of dollars are appropriated
every year for the most, trivial pur
poses. More of the government’s
money is thrown away in pensions,
than for any other one purpose; targe
nmounts are annually appropriated
for the useless improvement of rivers,
yet when it comes to the most import
ant of all movements ever originated
in this country for the country’s wel
fare and prosperity, there is n hue nnd
cry raised about the wasting of Na
tional funds.
We are glad that the majority in
Congress lias been wise enough to
foresee the good results ntlemlant
upon the passage of this measure,
which has put the World’s greatest ex
position on the road to success.
Raum’s rotten record is a bomb
which the Republicans are trying to
keep from exploding until after No
vember.
Thk most regretful feature of the
legislative primary in Chatham county
was tbe defeat of genial Maj. Ryals.
