VOL. 13.
Crowding Col. Livingston.
Atlanta ITerald.
The Herald has never been a
Livingston paper, but it strikes
us that the congressman from
toe Fifth is being crowded by
Mr. Hoke Smith.
When Mr. Smith went into
the cabinet it was announced
that he would not interfere in
appointments in other depart
ntellts than his own ; that lie
was to generally hands off.
It developed not long ago
that Colonel Livingston would
have no influence in the ap
poilltment of the Atlanta post
master, and seeming to realize
that fact he set out to consult
his constituents in the little
towns, probably 1 J under the im
. that the
pression congressman
from the district would be enti¬
tled to at least a voice in such
small matters.
There seems, however, a de¬
termined effort to crowd him
to the wall and mash him fiat.
We think he is a right hard
one to mash as was shown by
the result iu the last election.
Colonel Livingston won his
place fairly and squarely before
the people, but some of the
men who failed to defeat him
then are using a newly obtained
to deprive him of the
privileges usually accorded to a
congressman. We believe this
will re act in Livingston’s favor
days Colonel Liv- .
A few ago
togston went to the post-office
department, in Washington, to
inspect certain papers filed there
in reference to the post-office at
Oonyeis. Maj. McCreary, who
was in charge of the division, in
formed him that Mr. Smith had
ggnt to tli© department for the
papers. We understand that
they were not sent, however, as
the request from the secretary
of the interior was unheard of
ill cabinet courtesies.

oel Livingston’s home town,

was a telegram from Mr Smith’s
secretary. On the same
day a telegram to Mr. Smith’s
paper said the appointment was
made “ without congressional
endorsement. ”
interference or
That meant that Livingston had
been absolutely ignorged and
kicked out. As this was done
at Conyers, we suppose the
sanle program will be carried
out all over the district.
Mr. Smith has been peculiar¬
ly fortunate in attaining politi¬
cal distinction. We were glad
to see him made a cabinet of¬
ficer and said so. But it seems
to us he should be satisfied with
the immense patronage at bis
disposal, and he makes a mis¬
take when he uses his influence

does not get it he will bo made
just that much stronger with
the people.
Livingston fights like a hound
dog in a corner of 018 fence
and Mr. Smith is playing right
into his hands.
The Conyers Postoffice.
Atlanta Constitution.
In the matter of the post¬
mastership at Conyers we pre¬
face our remarks by the state¬
ment, based upon information
from those acquainted with all
the candidates, that a better
appointment than that of Cap¬
tain Weaver could not have
been made. Going further than
this, in frankness, we will say
that the editor of this paper, at
the request of wellknown gen¬
tlemen of Conyers, urged Colo¬
nel Livingston to recommend
Captain Weaver, and received
from him assurance that he was
so inclined, and that on his re¬
turn to Conyei’s he would dis¬
cuss the situation with the peo¬
ple of the town, and base his
recommendation on what he
believed to be their preference.
> With this statement we are free
to comment on the case, leav¬
ing no room for an implication
of dissatisfaction as regards the
personnel of the appointee.
We think that the manner of
the appointment does injustice
to the democratic congressman
from this ebstrict. Heretofore
it has been an invariable rule
to consult congrt ssmen in the
appointment of fourth-class
! postmasters, and the exception
is so rare that it is not on record.
Colonel Livingston asserts most
positively that before lie left
Washington to investigate, by
personal examination the mat
ter of filling tho fourth-class of
flees in his district, he was as
sured that nothing would bo
done until he was consulted,
We think that ho was* eutitld to
the ordinary consider atian that
is shown to other corigressmen,
and that the post-offi ce depart¬
ment should not have .allowed
itself to be persuaded, to make
an appointment in C alonel Liv¬
ingston's absence.
Now, it strikes us that our
congressman has not been fair¬
ly treated. Cony-ars is in his
district. It is practically his
home town, and he takes and
leaves the tram, at that poinr,
when coming Lrora or going
his home in Newton dour*.
He is well ac quamted with the
enaoisemenr*. S—Itt ot one or’ol’ or «« me ap aT
plicants for the postmastership
should hav © had great weight.
If con gressmen from any
other dis fcrict in Georgia, or
from otb ev states, are to hi we
anything; to say in the matt er
of the small postoffices, Colo,a
el Livingston should stand
an equal tooting with them,
We do not profess to champion j
him or his. aims, but on general
principles,.”.ve insist that, when
other congt essmen ai’e heard in
the matter-of local federal
pointrnesits, the democratic con
gresmnen from this district
should not be ignored, because
he is not “ grata ’’

It would be very difficult
a democra tic administration to
gree a shq dow of a reason
slighting Colonel Livingston,
With A few other prominent
raen Ih° Farmers’ Alliance,
^ ie rolled back the tide of third
partyism in Georgia. He went
to the conferences at Cincinnati.
Indianapolis and St. Louis and
fought the third party scheme
with signal boldness and ability.
If he had pursued the opposite
course no one can doubt that
thousands of votes would have
been lost to the democracy in
this state. The colonel’s real
and fidelity greatly strengthen¬
ed the democratic party, and
his labors in behalf of Mr. Ole
veland in Georgia, Virginia and
Alabama occupied so much of
his time that he seriously neglec
ed his political interests. *

We do not say that our CO n
congressman should have con¬

We have no interest in it, and,
of course can have no personal
preference in the matter. All
that we contend for is that Ool

Ms services to the party entitle
him to the same recognition
from the administration that is
extended to other congressmen.

to come to its defence, correct e< rtain

and define its position. But while
meditating as the whether it might not
be better to bear in silence, let the rec¬

lribuJ10 (iion . Jo bn Temple Graves,
then editor) in bidding us adieu/after
rmr session there, said of us :
' it may be briefly said that the no¬
ble women .of this convention have
miffic a profound impression for them¬
selves, and for their cause Upon this
community. Whatever the sentiment
of tl.oso who have been spectators and
auditors of the even, orderly and con¬
secrated session of this body, no . man
witli a soul in him can ftand uncon¬
cerned in the presence of the splendid
and heroic spirits, who have wrought
witli matchless patience tbrofi£)i
crowding difficulties, against
and overwhelming odds, and with un
^ ^
dimini«hed loyalty and unbroken
ranks kept fai h with God and witli
each other in the great cause to which
they have dedicated lire and energy
and love." In the annals of noble effort
there is no record of greater consecra
lion than in the women of tills I nion .
The Tribune in reverence and unstin¬
ted respect salutes them in patting,
^ „ GoU _ sp ^ every
H Hcre.”’
This is hut a sample of the many
public indorsements we have had in
lo the long friendship, help
and encouragement of the very church
that is now advised to “ close its doors
us, ” And all this, .too, whett
it lias been well known of our ccinneea
tion with the National Union and its
adoption of woman’s suffrage.
Aito our once staunch friend and
iie’per, Dr. [Candler, who is so dis¬
tressed and .exc-rcoed against us be¬
cause of our connect on with the Na¬
tional W. 0. T. U., and iis “woman’s
suffrage, ” and the “individual senti¬
ments of the Georgia Union, ” we re¬
gret the vUbdiavvel of bis valuable
friendship and appreciate his past
kindness, but his course toward us now
amounts simply to persecution ; for, as
the Georgia Union has never adopted
woman suffrage nor discussed it in tho
work of their conventions, ho is con¬
demning and ostracizing the whole
body for the sake of an offending few,
who have never yet obtruded their
coiuioni up< n the organization !
And if they had, w here is the sin 1
And If not a sin, and it seems to bear,
and does bear, vital! r upon the Chris¬
tian work they are engaged in, why
should they bo forbidden to discuss or
adopt it ? There are, a d have always
been, many minds as to methods and
measures of all reforms. Does the
good brother forget the storms of oppo¬
sition, persecution and matvrdom in
tlie pioneer day of Christianity, Pro¬
testantism and Methodism, and that,
too, from tiie church ? Docs ho not
remember that “ the more they were
persecuted the more they grew ? ’’
lie, too, may learn later that ho is
hastening on tlio very measure he is
trying to defeat, in forcing us to dis¬
cuss tlie question that we have hitherto
so persistently eliuned, and only toler¬
ated ic. thought as dual and desparato
aiterate.
We call him and tlio public to wlt
ne-s that lie, , not we, introduced
this “ Trojan horse ” question (as ho
chooses to call) for discussion, not on¬
ly into the North Georgia Conference
(Whereit already lias many sympa¬
thizers! to “create division, ” but into
tlie Georgia W. 0. T. U t-j perhaps dis¬
turb its harmony.
As the question has never been dis¬
cussed by us I do not know tho senti¬
ment of tlie Union Uiroughou the State.
If there are a dozen “suffragists” in
tlie Union 1 do not know of them. 1
cannot foretell tlie result of the discus¬
sion at the convention (for the quos*
tion has been forced upon us), but this
1 do know, that tlie body of consecrated
Chrislain women will make it a sub¬
ject of earnest prayer; and ns they
would not willingly or knowingly
dare to (akc a step in tlie wrong direc¬
tion, neither will they be deterred from
ti'-ing steps in the right direction,
when once convinced that it i3 right

There are those who were not de¬

and children that knelt at the polls
and pleaded in vain for redemption

curse, upon them, a id while t is was
