trying to stab in the BAGS. Hon. Carter Tate is now in the mountain counties engaged in a forlorn attack on Thompson. Having stuffed his committee un- £j] they refused to allow a joint debate between them, he now ex hibits himself, and the “marble” barrel,in a vain attempt to further fool a confiding constituency. In his letter to the White coun ty friend he says, with war staring us in the face he cannot leave his post of duty to push his political interests.

Manila bay and Admiral Dewy were made famous in a day. Why don’t these organs gel down to hard pan and tell the un varnished truth concerning this matter? Carter Tate came down from Washington sometime previous to the meeting of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee which met in Gainesville on the 22nd day of April and is now in the mountain counties working as hard as he knows how r to retain his seat m Congress. At his post! Where is his post in these troublous times? Is it in Washington or in the mountains of North East Georgia? He is billed to speak for the next tw T o weeks throughout the moun tains and if the United States is sunk during that time it will no doubt be all right with Carter, provided that there will be a res ervation of the Ninth Congress ional District of Georgia.

Col. Howard Thompson touched up the boys in Jackson county this week. Jackson is safe in the Thomnson column. tune. No speech he can make, should he confine himself to the truth, can make a mark upon Thompson but a bush whacker knows no such thing as honorable warfare. The Cherokee Advance is pub lishing a challenge from Tate to Thompson to meet him at his ap pointments in the mountain coun ties. If Thompson has received the challenge we have not been so informed but at any rate he will meet Tate at Cleveland, and per haps at Dahlonega and Dawsou- viile. Let the people come out and hear them and judge by whom they desire to be represented in Congress. A good time is assured and when the thing no doubt the people will give Tate the “marble heart.” In the meantime let Tate ex plain what he has done with the one hundred dollars per month he has been drawing from the U nited States Treasury for the hire of a clerk to which all congressmen are entitled when they have one. Our information is that he lias had none since his cousin Sam Tate left Washington two years ago. Some are so uncharitable to say he draws the money, and claims that Miss Yirgie Bell, his sister-in-law, takes it part tne time, and the remainder ms son Howard’s, a ten year old youth, used.

No one outside of his relatives are capable of per forming the arduous duties- of congressional clerk. Nepotism seems, to be Tate’s brightest qualification for any^ place. No relative of his has ever been known to go wanting. In a face to face campaign all these things could be discussed but when on one of his bush-whacking tours, of course no one is there to attack him, and call for the information. .

JACKS0-' Democrat? in the BlairsytUe Herald charges Howard Thompson; solicitor of the- north-eastern circuit and solicitor of the city court for the county of Hall with receiving the sum of $3,000 per annum as solicitor :of the city court. The facts do not bear this state ment out. Mr. A. R Smith, clerk, makes' affidavit that the amount received .hv him is n-ot more than $800 per ar-ouin. Ghee, whizz! M T hat a differenc**. The whole since said city court was first estab lished, and that said Thompson has been solicitor-general of the North eastern judicial ’circuit since January, 1887.

This time there is nothing more in it than in all others pre viously made. He is publishing in his organs a list of his appoint ments, and they are shouting that Mr. Thompson has been invited to be present and join Mr. Tate in a discussion. How far this is from the truth ! Mr. Thompson has not had one line from Mr. Tate requesting him to meet him at his appointments. But Thompson can call a bluff all right, arid, he is going to meet Tate at Cleveland, and perhaps at Dahlonega and Dawsonville. Tate had figured it out that Thompson had already made dates at other places for the same time he was to speak in the mountain counties, hence his latest grand stand play. But that wont work. Thompson will cancel a few other engagements and will go right up and meet Tate! He is eager to get ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM. Hon. Richard B.

Now, some of those Tate heelers are noble fabricators, but “Demo crat” takes the cake.
