* Judge Bartlett is lending for
the democratic nomination in the
sixth congressional districtof this
state. He has carried Bibb, with
0 votes, Pike with 2 and Upson 2,
while his competitors have only
captured their home counties.
.Judge Bartlett is one of the ablest
men in the state, a democrat with
out.guile, and will be an acquisit ion
of note to the party in the lower
house of congress.
Judge Lawson, the present
member, seems to have a dead
cinch on a renomination in the Bth
district. Up to date he has car
ried every county that has acted,
excepted McWhorter’s home coun
ty, Oglethorpe. McWhorter's

that their man will carry the coun

these will secure him the nomina

The third partyites want t lie
government to buy the railroads.
To do this and pay for them in
“stomped’’ money will increase the
circulation, per capita, to $195,
yet, in their platform they only
demand an increase to SSO per
capita. But, say some of the
brethren, we can pay for them in
c bonds of the government. Cer
tainly, but you declare against
the increase of the bonded debt
and howled yourselves hoarse be
cause the present administration
was forced to issue $50,000, 000 of
- bonds to protect the credit of the
government. This sum is a mere
bagatelle compared to the eleven
billions of dollars in bonds that it
would require to by the railroads.
How can sensible men swallow
such rot as this is?
The farmers in the third party
think they are, but are really
“not in it”. Lawyers have taken
charge of it, and are running it for
their own selfish purposes. Peek,
who is a farmer, and a charter
member of the Alliance, and de
cidedly superior to Hines on the
stump, was relegated to the rear to
make feom for the latter, in the
face of the fact that he is a cor
poration lawyer and the president
of a railroad company. A tried
and true allianceman, prominently
identified with the agricultural
interests of the state for many
years, was unceremoniously set
aside to make room for an apos
tate, whose birth into populism
was so recent that he hadn’t real
•
ly had time to dry. Tom Watson,
the little tin god whose beck and
nod are obeyed as implicitly as the
ukase of a czar, is a lawyer, and
will return to his briefs after Black
lays him out again this fall. In
the heyday of its early youth and
power neither of these men was
even eligible to membership in
that organization, but now they
are bosses of it. Briefless lawyers
and spavined political hacks are

Penny-wise and Poiiiicl-frtOlisli.
The third party orators are pen
ny-wise and pound-foolish. They
! strain at a gnat and swallow a
I camel. They cry “stop, tniefP’at
the democratic party for spending
ia dollar of the people’s money,
1 while their own platform calls for
legislation which would bankrupt
; the United States.
I To illustrate: The populists
are making much ado about the
| money paid by the government for
clerk hire for congressmen. This
does not amount to more than
half a million dollars a year, and
if a per capita tax were levied for
its payment it would not cost any
body more than half a cent. Yet,
in the next breath, they offer a
scheme for the purchase of all the
railroads, telegraph lines and tele
phones in the United States,
which purchase, by the same mode
of payment, would cost each man,
woman and child in Gwinnett
county S2OO. Now, let us figure
on the difference between the two
laws. To pay clerk hire for con
gressmen costs you half a cent a
| year. In two years it will cost
you one cent, in one hundred
years it will cost you 50 cents. In
two hundred years it will cost you
sl. In one thousand years it will
cost you $5. In forty thousand
years it will cost you $200; or, in
other words, the third party
wants you to pay in one year the
same amount of money that the
democrats want you to pay in for
ty thousand years.
The foregoing are honest figures,
and we ask every farmer and tax
payer in Gwinnett county to study
them before he casts a vote for the
third party, whose elevation to
power would mean everlasting ruin
to the people.

A few weeks since an army of
i over one hundred thousand tramps
was inarching on Washington,
from different .points in the north
and west, for the purpose of de
tH-wHdmg relief from the govern
ment. This army not com
posed of Jhdtest npfri* of work
and hunting-V jofthbht of thieves,
vagabonds and whose
idea is that they rijY’ of
the'nation, and as a matter
of right, to be supported out of
the national treasury. As the
treasury has no money in it except
that raised from the people by
taxation, these dead beats and
tbugs insist that labor and proper
ty of the country ought to support
them in absolute idleness. In
that vicious horde there was not a
farmer, nor a man interested in
the farming interests of the coun
try.
This motley crew was command
ed by one J. W. Coxey, who has
since been nominated by the popu
lists of his district, in Ohio, as
their candidate for congress.
Recently there was a great
strike throughout the west, and
the whole country was on the very
verge of a civil war. Millions of
dollars, worth of property were
destroyed by .the torch of the in
cendiary, commerce between the
states was paralyzed by the burn
ing of cars and tearing up the
tracks of the railroads, and the
farmers and fruit growers of this
state lost hundreds of thousands
of dollars by their inability to
ship their products, and the rot
ting of hundreds of car loads in
transitu. The local authorities
in the states where these disturb
ances occurred were unable to
restore order, or to protect the
lives and property of peaceable
citizens, and President Cleveland
was forced to suppress this incip
ient rebellion against the law
ful authorities, by sending a por
tion of the regular army to dif
ferent parts of the country where
the mob was in control. His con
duct has been condemned by the
populist papers and this riotous
element has indorsed the populist
platform, and is now thecontroll
ingelement in that party through
out the west.
Last Saturday, S. H. Bother, a
prominent populist, addressed a
large audience at Eastman, in this
state, composed almost wholly of
negroes, and hie utterances were
so incendiary in character that
the indignation of the people was
intense. He endorsed the revolu
tionary methods of the strikers, ap
plauded the conduct of the an
archist bomb throwers at Hay mar-,
ket, Chicago, in which a number
of people were killed, and for
which a portion of them were hung
and the balance sentenced to the
Illinois penitentiary for life, and
that there was no
... -
dorse these revolutionary methods,
and opqnly advocate confiscation
of property, and an equal division
of it. They do not hesitate to de
clare that they are anxious for civ
il war and a reign of terror. Ev
erybody knows that neither of
these howlers would expose his
dirty carcass to danger if war
should come, and we only call at
tention to their ravings for the
purpose of showing the public one
of the dangerous elements in pop
ulism.
The populist party in Georgia is
composed principally of farmers,
and the great body of them are
good and patriotic citizens, who
earnestly desire to do what they
consider best for themselves, their
families and their country. They
have no sympathy for law
lessness and know that they would
be absolutely ruined by civil
war, but many of them have been
deceived by the specious manner
in which the purposes of populism
have beep presented to them, and
have no adecpiate conceptions of
the real objects of their leaders.
These good and true men will not
hesitate to come hack to the demo
cratic party when they fully catch
the drift of affairs, and it is to the
reason and common sense of this
class t hat we appeal to return to
the party of good order, whose
control means prosperity for all
classes, the equal protection
of the laws and the perpetuation
of our great republic, as handed
down to us by our fathers. Num
bers of goopl pnen who have been
allied withvthjS third party have
returned to the democratic fold,
but this is just the beginning of
a break that will terminate in a
regular stampede before the day
of elecUop rolls around. The peo
ple ofSthis country are honest and
patriotic, and will not hesitate to
do right, or abandon wrong when
they see it. The democratic par
ty has no feeling of bitterness to
wards those who have strayed away
from its organization, and will
gladly welcome all of them back.
This is not so simply because their
votes are needed, as the democrat
ic party has an overwhelming
majority, both in Gwinnett coun
ty and in the state of Georgia,
i without their aid, but for the rea
! son that there is no just cause for
division among our peoplfe, and all
I this unnecessary strife, bitterness,
crimination "and recrimination
ought to cease. We are one peo
ple, our interests are identical, and
whatever inures to the benefit of
one is helpful to the other.
lty Popular Vote.
The house of representatives oi
congress, has passed, by the con
sjtrtutional majority, a bill provid
ing for an amendment to the con
stitution providing for the election
of senators by a direct vote of the
people. This amendment will, if
the bill referred to runs the gaunt
let of the senate, be submitted to
the legislatures of the different
states for ratification, and will be
come a part of the organic law
when it receives the approval of
three-fourths of all the states.
This is an amendment to the
constitution proper to be made,and
the people of this country will
have good cause to thank the dem
ocratic party in congress for giv
ing them a chance to express their
wishes touching it. It is a deplor
able fact that the senate of the
United States is largely made up
of millionaires, who owe their pro
motion rather to money than to
brains. These men are not in sym
pathy with the great masses of the
people, and are hinderances to all
true reform. They are independ
ent of the great army of voters
now, but when the power to pur
chase commissions from corrupt
legislators is taken away from
them, they will come down from
their lofty perches, and senatorial
dignity and indifferences will soon
become a mere tradition. Direct!
accountability to the people will
compel the adoption of rules for
the senate that w ill render needed
legislation both possible and
prompt, and there will be no more
long contests in that body between
the demands of the country and
the wind of the obstructionists.
So mote it be.
It is rumored that A. M. Bax
; ter, Esqr., who is the nominee of
| the populists for senator from this
district, has decided not to make
the race. Whether this report is
absolutely true or not wo do not
) know, but there is certainly some
foundation for it. Mr. Baxter is
a farmer ami a good one, and is
constitutionally averse to entering
apolitical scramble, either with
or without a hope of winning, and
| his withdrawal would not be a
i surprise to anybody. Gus Baxter
I is too good and sensible a man to
run off after modern populism,
and those who know him well are
satisfied that lie does not like the
anarchist and disorderly element
that has recently allied itself with
that party, and that if this is to
be a factor in shaping its policy,
ho will promptly wash his hands
of- the whole concern.

The Constitution and .Journal.'
The Atlanta Constitution is!
goading the Journal on the fact]
that (he latter is printing Tom
Watson’s daily paper, Living Issues,
and thus, while claiming to be a
democratic organ, circulating lit
erature tending to weaken that
party. The Constitution claims
that Mr. Watson offered it the
contract to do this work, and that
it declined with thanks.
Of course Clark Howell did not
faint when this offer was made,
nor does the general public believe
the refusal to do the work was
based on the objectionable charac
ter of the contents of Watson's
paper, as its reading matter, like
that of all the populistic papers
in Georgia, is, to a large extent,
composed of extracts from the edi
torial page of the Constitution.
Living Issues has not inflicted a
tithe of the damage on the demo
cratic party of Georgia that the.
Constitution has, by its daily
assaults upon the democratic presi
dent and congress, and is utterly
powerless to do so. But for the
encouragement, aid and comfort
the third party has received from
the Constitution since 1892, it
would have been pratically dead
in this state, and the arduous and
exciting campaign in front of us
would-have been unnecessary. No
one doubts that, when the real tug
of war comes, the Constitution
will wheel into line and do yeo
man service for democracy, but
the knowledge of this faetdoes not
reconcile denfocrats to the damag
ing and unjustifiable course it
has pursued for the last two years.
The party workers in this state, the
men who bear the brunt and bur
den of the‘campaign, are not un
conscious of the fact that their la
bors are double and thribbled in
every contest the party has in
Georgia by the double dealings of
the Constitution, and it is natural,
that they should resent its conduct
in this particular, because of
the great injustice done them.
The Constitution’s method of
to drop into line
with the enojity for a season, un
der the pretense of genuine sym
pathy, and, while masquerading in
this disguise, never let up in abuse
and villification undemocratic pol
icies and methods, and praises of
the plans and heresies of iti ene
mies, until it has gained tlieiijpi)i'.<
fklence and enrolled their names
upon its subscription hocjjs. It
pursued this course^ early
days of the aiu'l’.Actually

sport, it jumped ret it with botlr
feet, and rendered material aid in
undoing the devilment it had done.
The third partyites who are feel
ing so good over the caresses their
party is receiving at its hands will
be howling with pain and anger be
fore many days, while its whilom
friend, with ghoulish glee, is muti
lating its hideous form.
Partial reparation may be done
for the harm democracy has re
ceived at its hands by its later
course, but fair-minded men, of
all parties, cannot conscientiously
approve or commend such meth
ods in politics, nor can the Jour
nal, following it, win public confi
dence, or become a potent factor
in moulding the opinions of the
people. But what wo have said
about the Constitution must not
be construed into a defense of the
course of the Journal. No demo
cratic newspaper office ought to
engage in the circulation or pub
lication of a populist organ, either i
on its own or Tom Watson’s ac
count. That it is paid to do this;
is no excuse, for dirty work cannot
be justified by the fact that every
reason for the doing of it is a dol
lar. A soldier who would lend his
I gun to the enemy, or hire it to
j him for the purpose of fir-
I ing on his friends, would be
j very promptly shot as a traitor.
But while this is so, we do not
wish to be understood as car
| rying the analogy to the extent
|of saying that the Journal is a
! traitor to democracy, for we do
not so believe. It simply let its
foot slip in making this arrange
ment, and has placed itself in a
' position where there can be no re
treat without a breach of contract,
to be followed by a suit for
; damages to which there could be
no legal defense. The glitter
lof the 10 to 1 silver dollar of the
populists simply blinded its judg
■ ment, and, in its greed to seize it,
received a terrible fall, and if, as
it says, it feels no hurt in conse
quence, it must be upon the prin
; ciple that
i
•‘’Tistlic rattle of the guinea heals the
hurt
That honor feels.”
There is wide room, for improve
ment in the methods pursued by
both of these papers, and the
sooner this fact is realized anti
acted upon by them the better it
will be for the democratic party
Each oj them is engaged in carry
ing oip'a factional light "inside the
*
party which ought to be stopped
and their batteries trained on the
common enemy. Instead of wag
ing war on democrats we suggest,
that they expose the wild and vis
ionary schemes of the populists,
and show t<> the people that the
triumph of that party and the
formulation of its principles into
law would inaugurate a reign of
terror in which the republic
would go down in ruin, anarchy
run riot and the last trace of
prosperity in this country he abso
lutely obliterated from tbe face of
the earth.
Tliunk God for Grover Cleveland.
Not many days ago a great mob
of anarchists were destroying mill
ions of dollars worth of property
in Chicago, and human life was in
jeopardy. The socialist governor
of Illinois had refused to protect
either life or property, and inno
cent people were afraid to vonture
out into the streets. At the cru
cial moment the strong arm of the
national government, guided by a'
president with a backbone, encir
cled the good people of Chicago
and protected them from all harm.
The stern voice of a firm, patrotic
man said, “Peace, be still,” and
the rioters and incendiaries dropp
ed their weapons and torches and
ceased their bloodshed and arson.
Business was resumed, men went
about their vocations and avoca
tions with naught to molest or |
make afraid. Millions of hearts j
went out in gratitude, and spoke
in silence: “God bless Grover
Cleveland.”
After the mob had been scat
tered, the honest laborers of Chica
go went to Mr. Cleveland and asked
that he appoint a commission to
settle the differences between them
selves and Pullman, the great car
king who has oppressed labor. Mr.
Cleveland yielded to this request
and appointed a labor committee,
-named by the laborers themselves,
thus manifesting his sympathy
with the honest laborers of the
country. And then it was that
many people, who had been taught
to believe that the president of this
country was under t«e domination
of capitalists and gr*:dy corpora
tions, looked upon tile true char
acter of the man, amCsaid:

Capt. Espy, one of the third
party candidates for the legislature
in this county, is the cashier of a
bank, at Buford. This bank is a
corporation, and is lending its
money for not less than twelve per
cent, and discounting notes for
five times as much.
Capt. Espy’s bank will not lend
money on land as security, but re
quire*. gilt-edge security, such as
bonds, or solvent individuals.
Capt. Espy makes a living out
of his salary as a banker, and this
big per cent, is a sweet morsel,
which he daily rolls under his
tongue.
Capt. Espy’s occupation would
be like Othello’s, if the sub-treas
ury scheme should be adopted, and
the government undertook to fur
nish money to the people at tw T o

Now, Capt. Espy is human, and
likes a good tiling just like the
balance of us, and will stick to it,
like a sick kitten to a hot brick,
just as long as there is- a
pea in the dish. Therefore, do our
third party friends really believe
that he is in favor of the sub-treas

that will reduce tho number of his
shekels or abolish his buisness ?
If Capt. Espy 'is really so good

HINES IN HOT WATER.
A 15 rother Populist Mays He

Atlanta, July 20.—(S|>ecial.) —
John A. Wimpy, the well known

speaker, and wnl probably chal

vass.
Some time ago Col. Wimpy, as
attorney for W. W. Brigg, began
suit for damages against Judge
Hines’ law firm, claiming that the
populist leader had been guilty of
unprofessional conduct toward
Brigg, his client—in other words,
that they had sold him out to oth
er parties whom they represented
at the same time Brigg was their
client. The Telegraph published
the allegations of the suit at the
time it was begun. The Atlanta
papers would not handle it, how
ever, because candidate Hines is an
Atlanta man, and, though fighting
democracy, has a strong pull on
the local press when it comes to
polities. Judge Hines published
a card in reply to the allegations
1 in_Brigg's suit, in which he charged
that Col. Wimpy as a lawyer was
trying to play for even with him
on account of an old time person
al score.
Col. Wimpy’s card, which was
handed to the Telegraph corres
pondent today, is in reply to the
card of Judge Hines, as follows;
“Atlanta, July 18, 1894.—Mr.

forts to find the said constable to
ascertain by what authority and at
whose instance he had committed
this outrage, I could not find who
it was that caused the .levy and

Edgar H. Orr, J. P., informed me
that my property was levied on by
Charles Boyles, L. C., by virtue of
a ii. fa. issued out of the justice’s
court in Newton county, in favor
of Mrs. E. E. Salter against me for
SBS, and that it was done, at the
instance and direction of ,T. K.

cated with Mrs. Salter to know
why she should treat me in such a
way, she having been for years a
personal friend. She replied by
letter, the original of which 1
have in my possession, saying: ’‘ln
regard to the levy made on your
office effects, I know nothing of it,
neither did 1 have it done.’ Then
after complaint to J. K. Hines of
his treatment of me in this matter,
without the authority of Mrs. Sal

date of May 81, 1894, the original
of which is also in my possession,
and m which he states he ordered
the seizure of the property.

Tlie August Convention.
It is only two weeks now until
the meeting of the democratic con
vention in this city. The conven
tion will possess more than the
importance that has attached to
the assemblages of the party in
the past. It will mark the open
ing of one of the most hotly con
tested campaigns ever fought in
the state, and it will be the occa
sion of the rallying of the demo
cratic hosts of Georgia for the
march to victory.
It is going to be a big and mem
orable convention. The ranks of
the party are aroused as they have
never been before and they aye
preparing to send to the conven
tion big and enthusiastic delega
tions. The activity of the popu
lists has put the people on guard,
and they are determined to start
the tight with such an array of
strength as will show the, enemy
at the outset what an overwhelm
ing force they have to combat.
This is well. Let the county
delegations lie full grid let the Au
gust convention, in its size and en
thusiasm, symbolize the determi
nation of the people of Georgia to
stand by the only party Unit can
help them and to place the Hon.
W. V. Atkinson in the governor’s
chair by such a majority as has
never been equalled before. ~
The populists, disturbers of the
peace in Georgia, should be defeat
ed so overwhelmingly that they will
go out of business. —Atlanta Jour
nal.
The populist convention of the
ninth congressional district met
at Gainesville this week and nomi
nated J. Newt Twittv, of Hall and
Jackson counties, for congress.
This is a short notice, but it is
longer than the pole with which J.
Newt is trying to knock down the
persimmon.
It is only one week until the
state convention will meet.
Thereafter the third party will
catch it from the shoulder. In
the meantime, let ua organize and
he ready.
