W. A. Hakhih, y Cli'm. Dein. Ex. Com 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. IDLE TALK. In this column the writer propnses to discuss leisurely those topics of the day, local, national and International, which may be of general interest to the public, whether they pertain to the .State, to the church, to society 111 general, or whether they be political In nature, seculnr, clerical or social This column will be thus occupied whenever it suits the convenience, taste or lazy habits of the writer, and may he found semi-weekly or weekly, or they may not be inflicted upon a patient reading publlo so often that.

There nre only two candidates for legislative honors in the Seventh, Hon. 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. In strong support of their argument they say that this would be more bene ficial than attendance upon the the aters, saloons nnd beef gardens, which, ns everyone knows, are open to the public in Chicago- Sunday and every other day. 1 lie other side looks at t lie matter from a Christian point of view, and believes in the suspension of all activ ities on the Lord’s day.

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. CO I.. J.

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, J. E. Mkiickh. ON TH|t aifNTINCM. Pr«i{r«M the Democrat* nre Making tke District. I A Personal FRlCan FROM RKRRIEN. A C.alr far Big Apple., Big Preachers, Fine Timber nnd Tobacco. 1. II Contrary to the principles of news paper ethics, I shall sign this commu- sy. Miration. 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. Milford, Baker Co. Ga, July 24, ’92. Lkary, Ga., July 22, 1892. 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.

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.

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.
