Kvr.sisn Hskami. 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. HARDWARE! I.
