There la no use trying to get around
the fact that the Third Party move
ment la playing an Important part tn
the politics of the country to-dny.
Georgia has been witness to the fact
In the convention recently held In At
lanta, when a full State ticket wae
nominated and put In the field.
The question of the hour is how to
treat this movement. True, it Is not
strong enough within our State to
warrant any fear on the part of Dem
ocrats. even in local elections, but the
Democratic party, the only people's
party that ever existed, needs, above
all things, harmony in Its ratiks In
order to Insure the success of pure and
honest governmental principles. The
adherents of tills movement have
rashly attempted n sudden revolution,
but, like others of its stamp, it will be
reactionary In Its nature, and In the
end we prcdlot tbnt things will come
around all right.

He knows full well that the District

There was nothing mandatory in the

the Third Pnrty is not so strong in
Georgia as it is trying to make people

There nre only two candidates for

R. It. Everett, the present incumbent,
and Judge Jno. W. Maddox. Judge
Maddox is stumping the distriet, while
Mr. Everett is lingering in the halls of
Congress until they adjourn, lie never
having been absent from the House
since he took the oath of office. How
ever, the nominating convention will
not be held until August 24th, so Mr.
Everett will have a chance.

—The impertinent saleslady
counter-irritant.
A white silk , flag fluttering in the
breeze over one of our principal stores
told a tale this morning that many of
us were wont to believe. It was
Uncle Sum’s weather message, and
gave “promise of merry sunshine” for
twenty-four hours or more. But sad
to relate a dark backgroud of thunder
ing’ rain clouds soon told a different
story, and our customary afternoon
rain came down before Uncle Sam’s
message was two hours old.
We fear he has compromised Ills
reputation as a prophet with the peo
ple ol Albany.
The readers of the Hkraj.i> will re
member the letter that was published
In these columns last week, as having
been written by candidate O. B. Stev
ens, and that a demand was made upon
the Editor by Mr. Stevens for the orig
inal. it will also be remembered that
in response to a telegram from Mr.
Stevens the editor of the IIkuai.d met
him at the depot with the original let
ter, nnd thnt he, Mr. Stevens, denldd
having written it, although his name
was signed to it. We asked him for
his denial in writing, nnd he said he
would send it to iis by mall. lle
hadn’t time at the meeting nt the train
to put his denial in writing,hut prom
Ised to mail it to us. and usked that
Ills denial of the authorship of the let
ter be published ill the Hkiiai.ii thnt
evening.
He was given the benefit of the de
nial In thnt evening’s IIkuai.d, but his
written denial of theauthorsliip of the
letter has not been received.
All this is gone over herein connec
tion with other facts that we have to
submit to the public;, for the purpose
of showing up candidate Steven’s cam
paign methods.
It seeuiB that he lias a sort of pollti
cal machine for “dictating” and writ
ing letters, and when one of these let
ters is drawn on him he, either ac
knowledges or repudiates its authentic
ity as best suits his purposes.
In other words, letters are written
on O. B. Stevens’s letter heads, and O.
B. Stevens’s name is signed to them.
Now, if the letter falls Into the hands
of n atraightout Democrat or somebody
who is opposed to Stevens, and it Is
used to his detriment, then he repudi
ates It and denies having written it;
but If It holds good, and doesn’t get
into the hands of ttie opposition, then
t is nil rigid, and Stevens wrote it.
Much are the methods of the man
who aspires lo represent the people of
the Second district in Congress!
And suoli methods will be repudiated
by tile bonest and intelligent people of
tbe district.
His methods nre secret and uncer
tain. He evidently lias henchmen
writing letters for him, and when it
suits Ills purposes to own their author
ship he does it; and when the wind
blows the other way he denies their
niithorship.
Now, here are some facts thnt the
Hkhald hna obtained with reference
to the letter published lust week:
We waited for,Mr. Stevens’s written
denial, and, falling to get It,'sent n
man over to Dawson to look up the mat
ter. As one of the results.we have a
letter from a reliable gentleman of
Dawson from which the following is n
true extract:
‘O. D. Glover says lie wrote tile let-
te* from dictation, but would not tell
by whom it was ith-tiiteil, lie claims,
however, that lie did not properly copy
the dictation. Thus the matter
stands.”
Wlio O. D. Glover is we do not know,
but nre left to presume that he Is one
of Stevens’s underlings or henchmen.
Yes, “thus It standB.” Letters are sent
out from the office of O. B. Stevens,
with his name signed to them, and if
one of them falls into the hnndsof the
opposition nnd'is made publlo, then he
denies the authorship; but if It re
mains in the secret hands for wliioli
alone it was Intended, and nceomptlshs
the secret purpose whereunto it was
sent, then it Is all right.
Shame on such methods and unman
ly, Irresponsible tactics.
Mr. Stevens cannot succeed by them,
and his defeat ns the nominee of the
Demooratlo party of the Second dis
trict is assured.

My Dkah Si'hs:—In conversation
with Capt. P. E. Boyd, I learn that an
effort Is being made, or lias been made,
to create the impression, with you in
particular, and my friends in Albany
ill general, thnt I uni not entirely con
sistent in my Democracy.
I will not bore you with uti expin
nation why, in my opinion, such In
formation should be gratuitously of
fered.
I am not Wanting any ulllre within
the gift of the people, but I have too
much Democratic pride to allow my
position in this campaign to be mis
represented.
Before tbe cninpaigu opened and be
fore the Cuthbert convention, I advo
cated the candidacy of Col. C. B.
Wooten, and I believe yet that lie is
the most available, and at tbe same
time tbe most capable mail, who has
been mentioned in the district.
Though Mr. Stevens Is a relative
and a Christian gentleman, and while
l mil one of those who still believe lie
is a Democrat, ami in no way respon
sible for tbe Third Party tendencies of
the Alliance of the district, nnd, know
ing that Ills cniididaey has the support
of some of ns good Democrats ns there
nre in Georgia, I have never said one
word In defense of his method of cam
paigning. lie has not done what 1
thought was his duty in combating
the revolt against the recommenda
tion's of the distriet committee, and
has, very unbecoming ^ Democrat, al
lowed himself to be cuddled by tbe
Third Party faction,nnd I have told no
one so In plainer terms than Ihnve Mr,
Stevens himself. I believe that his
iioininatlon over nny properly constI-
! tilled Democratic candidate will be nt
the expense of the pnrty, but I find a
great ninny Democrats, and holiest
white men whom the Democracy of
the Second Congressional district nt
least need, disagree with me, there
fore I bellevu thnt some concessions
would tie best.
I believe, under certain contingen
cies, thnt the best interest of the party
would lie conserved by Stevens’ nomi
nation nml election. If It appears,
after July 80th, that lie Is the choice of
the Deinocraoy of the district, or of
those who shall have voted at the va
rious primaries, it will be n mistake to
put out a candidate against him.
I shouldn’t liketo si;e the Democracy
of the district divided, and I believe
such a thing is imminent.
Those who are not disposed to con
cede, can not expect concessions from
others, nnd It Is plain enough to ns all
that without concessions from some
body, division is inevitable, nnd defeat
more tlmn probable.
1 believe Hint party success is para
mount to nil personal considerations,
and to ptty eprejudices. If I am mis
taken I am honest in it, and it Is not
the character of my politics that’s nt
fault, but the methods or plnn I advo
cate for attaining tiie best results for
Democracy. In conclusion 1 will add
that I recognize the great good that
Gallant Ben Russell is doing the party
every day of his campaign, and I would
be an ingrate not to say he deserves to
Be limply rewarded for it. Very Truly,

A NOS.
Capt. S. R. Weston, who has just re
turned from a trip down the B. & W.
road, where he has extensive interests,
presented the IIkiiai.d Saturday
with the finest apple we have seen this
ear. Indeed, it is the largest nnd
most perfect native apple thnt we have
ever seen. It grew in Berrien county
on a place adjoining one of Capt.
Weston’s.
Capt. Weston, always jovial ifnd
ready to perpetrate 11 pun, took occa
sion to get off this one when he pre
sented the big Berrien county apple to
tbe Hkhai.b tills morning:
I tell you, Berrien county is‘some
pumpkins’ anyhow. She not only pro
duces big apples, but big men, big
preachers, tine yellow pine, and now she
taking the lead of all the other
Georgia counties in the production of
tobacco. Berrien county produced the
beautiful curly yellow pine out of
which the elegant new pews of the
Baptist church of this city are made;
and big brother Carroll, the able and
beloved pastor of that church, is a na
tive of Berrien county. But I want
you to distinctly understand that
when it conies to all-round cleverness,
pietyand good kooks, I draw the line
at my own pastor, Rev. W. J. Robert
son, of the Methodist churoh.”
Capt. Weston may not have intended
this off-hand laudation of Berrien
county for the public, but here it is,
and as he is an oliT newspaper man | and the
himself, lie can’t say a word.
I.cll.r From Dr
Hnml.
Col. H. M. McIntosh:
Dear Sir—Some friend has favored
me with a marked copy of the Albany
Evening Hkhald of the 20th Inst.
Caption of article marked is “Only a
Rumor, but an Exceedingly Unsavory
One.”
“The rumor is that Dr. Hand lias
agreed to run Joe Neal for the House
from Baker county, in order to get Joe
to secure the Negro vote for him in the
Senatorial race.’ r You state, “This is
rumor, but it is pretty broadcast, and
comes from a good source.”
This much I suppose you have
said to give the rumor currency,
where I am not known. Will'
you do me the justice to say in
your next issue, that I never saw Joe
Neal that 1 know of, and tbnt I have,
since seeing the above in your paper’
beard that Joe !Nenl is a Minister of
the Gospel, and does not reside in Ba
ker county, but ill Dougherty. Again
you say, “Things are getting down
pretty tine when such trades ns this
have to lie made with Negro political
blackguards in order to raise one’s
hopes of success.”
1 have understood that you have the
reputation of being an honorable, fair-
minded opponent. If so, you will not
hesitate one moment to correct this
frivolous, unscrupulous falsehood. I
do not think that there is an honorable
mail.living, who knows me, that would
believe the rumor. The author of the
rumor knew that it was a falsehood.
You will permit me to state further,
that I have never made a “trade” with
any mail, white or black, for the pur
pose of securing votes, nor would I
now be reduced to that necessity if I
des red to go to the Senate. Yours
I. H. Hand.

Bdltor 1IKBALUI
We bad some fine political oratory
nt Milford yesterday. Quite a crowd
of Baker county’s good citizens, with
a good delegation from Calhoun, met
at Milford yesterday and listened to
nddresses made by Messrs. Ben E. Rus
sell, A. L. Hawes and W. N. Spence. J*
All the speakers seemed, to be fully
aroused to the importance of the ocoa-
sion, and, indeed, their speeohes were
replete with good old-fashioned Dem
ocratic doctrine. They captured the
crowd at the outset, nnd held it as by
magic for more tlinn four hours, while
old Milford was treated to Wlnit might
be called a feast of eloquence. The
cloak of Democracy was lifted from
the shoulders of Third Partyism, and
all the rottenness nnd fraud of the
Third Party, to say nothing of the
Republicanism that lurks therein
was thoroughly exposed to publlo
view. So complete was the defense of
the Democratic party, that only one
man oould be found after the Bpenking
who had the hardihood to say that he
belonged to the Third Party.
Judging from the frequent and tre
mendous outbursts of applause by the
entire audience, one would think that
Mr. O. B. Stevens was not known in
Milford. Thnt was n grand Demo
cratic rally, and Cousin Tobe was not
in it, but Ben E. Russell was, and th
too, by n large mnjonty. Mr. Steveni
is n mighty small innn to stand on so
many platforms at one time, and lie
will liave to hustle if lie succeeds ill
convincing tbe thinking people of the
Second district thnt he Is a Democrat.

you, please send the Herald to us at
162 Federal street, Boston, Mass. Very
truly yours, O. W. Arnold.
A Had Death.
The Herald is pained to have to
chronicle the death of Mr. Zaok A.
Crittenden, who died at the home of
his father, Col. R. A. Crittenden, at
Shcllman, Friday.
Mr. Crittenden was a young man of
more than ordinary business capacity,
and, although yet quite young, was a
member of the firm of Arthur, Crit
tenden & Whitehead, of Dawson. Jt,
He was the worthy son of a noble
sire, and the writer ohronioles his un
timely death with that peculiar and
Inexpressible sympathy that attached '
to sincere personal friendship. J
The bereaved parents and family
have our deepest sympathy. We know
full well that the tender wordB and
oondolence or friends cannot allay their
grief, nor fully heal their bleedli
hearts in this their hour of deep d
t[ Baa . God and Time alone can u »

MR. FRIUK SHOT.
The attempt of Anarohist Burkman
to shcot Mr. Frick, of the Carnegie
Steel W orks, on Saturday, was as con
temptible as It was cowardly.
Anarchist methods oan never settle
quarrels between labor and oapltal;
they can only strengthen the deter
mination of capitalists to carry out
their intentions. *
Mr. Frick was extremely cool in th?
time of the emergenoy, and when suf
fering from four wounds, prohibited
the slaughtering of his would-be mur
derer, and said that now that they had
him, lie preferred for the law to take v
its course. T
Such attempts can only result disas
trously for the laboring contingent.
Capitalist Frick may have been In the
wrong, but no beneticlal results could

The Herald published a rumor, last
week, to the effect that Dr. I. H. Hand
was going to run Joe Neal, colored,
the Legislature in Baker county-
Neal s reported candidacy being in
tended as a scheme to help Dr. Hand
out in his race for the Senate.
Saturday evening we published a
positive denial of the rumor from Joe
Neal, and this evening we publish one
from Dr. Hand.
The Herald has no desire to mis
represent Dr. Hand norand one else,
and cheerfully gives place to these de-
nials.
