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. Conyers is practically Colo oel Livingston’s home town, and he was, of course, quite an gry when it appeared that Mr. ° Smith ... intei’efei'ing • , p r___ in li___ the was of postmaster . , at , appointment a that place. The colonel came Oil llOllie and his SUrpriSO may be imagined wlien snap judg rilGllt W<IS t . llKGll ■. Oil IlIIll u. Uy r fi blltJ , 0 of postmaster , , at , appointment a Conyers, the first news of which 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 CT ush and humiliate a man whose friend lie so eagerly sought when the Alliance was a power. The editor of The Herald has never been an admirer of C'olon «1 Uvinpton but the Democrat, of the district have Sent him to congress and he is entitled to at least a dog’s chance, and if he CONYERS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MAY 20, 1893. 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 ’’ persona some wlw> -H-e close to the ad ministration. > 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. * own We do not say that our CO n congressman should have con¬ trolled the Conyers appointment 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 „„d Livingston's position and Ms services to the party entitle him to the same recognition from the administration that is extended to other congressmen. Listen at This. The Washington correspond¬ ent of the Atlanta speaking of lion. Hoke Smith’? position in regard to Livingston and his post office appointments makes Smith say: “ I will take HO further action in the distri Vration of federal patronage in i the Fifth district when Living¬ ston recommends the proper persons ; I have just endorsed ills appointee for the Oxford i post office, and I will sto him wherever his nominations arc in hue with tho wishes, of i people who arc to lie Served. ” Was ever such a course pur sued by any fovmei cabinet o ti¬ cer - Hoko Smiih is to ha\ o the power of saying who are the - proper persons ” and unless ho satisfied the nominations of congressmen are to go or tob. right.

But while meditating as the whether it might not be better to bear in silence, let the rec¬ ord of its work speak for itself and pur¬ sue the even tenor of our way, the eon tvovcrsY began betwe n tiioso two brilliant lights- and friends of the tem¬ perance cause, Mrs. Belton and Dr. Oiindifcr ; and was waged so (itice !y that l felt so enter the arena then wouH inea * -nnihAwitm for one. if modest pretentious. And as both sides of the argument Had been brought for¬ cibly to light I concluded to wait and let tho IV. C. T. IT.' in Convention ns sombled decide the qn stlon. But the offer,er I have considered the matter, the more I have felt that I fail¬ ed in duty ; particularly since Dr. SSSSSffCSfSSJt its doors t |, e Methodist church to close against us. For, as an organization, we no.v stand before tile nubile, sir ratgned, judged, condemned as un¬ worthy, and rejeotpd by the grand re¬ ligious body that has feen our staunch¬ est friend in all the trying years of our temperance warfare, and whose church have been a refuge and shelter for us in fho hours of our need.

'ilia Borne 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 and for tlio best as God gives them tlio light to see. There are those who were not de¬ clared suffragists who Inivo been made ro by tlio extreme actions against* us. There arc those who. look to It now from having boon among those women and children that knelt at the polls and pleaded in vain for redemption freni the liquor curse, while men, fath¬ ers and “ Chrlstaln men,” .walked by them and deliberately deposited in tho ( allot box the vote to perpetuate tho curse, upon them, a id while t is was going on one side of tlie court house tho money-bags of till iipnor dealers were being openly shaken into tlio fac¬ es of tho voters to buy tho liquor votes 1 fa it any wonder tout tho great battle for the redemption of the homo is to tie fought At tho ballot-box 1 And that in their desperation they arc will¬ ing to wade though deeper depths than any they have known, and to suffer ail, dare ail and do all in their liopu of overcoming tho traffic.
