He Makes Formal Announcement of
His Candidacy. ‘
To the Democrats of the 3rd Congres
sional District?-- "
I am a candidate for Congress

democratic primary, to be held on
the I5th of May. If nominated and
elected I shall devote my entire time
and energies to the duties of thiB

Thp best hope of good govern

me with this high office, I will use
~my best efforts to secure the passage
of those laws which will carry out
those principles and promote the
public good.
Most respectfully,

ury estimates that the surplus reve-
j nud fpr the sfical year ending June
30,1900,will amount to $70,000,000.
This being true, the war stamp tax

mortgages,, other documents and a
few articles of commerce, it is esti

All this tax is paid by the consum

repealed.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
populists ‘ of Georgia held a state'
convention in Atlanta last week,
adopted a platform of contentions'

less than in any other year since its
organization.
