CANDLER MAKES
RINGING SPEECH
Continued from. Fourth Page.
not want you to bankrupt the treas
ury for them. They do not want you
to confiscate the homes and the farms
of their neighbors to pay pensions to
them. They do not want the burden
of taxation, now well nigh intolerable,
increased for their benefit. We will
take care of »them and see to it that,
nene want or go to the poorhouse, but
we will not bankrupt the treasury to
do so. The men who faced death on
the field of fire and blood are too
brave and too just to demand such a
sacrifice, and they decline with thanks
Mr. Berner’s offer to bankrupt the
treasury.
Th. :<?, felfi.w citizens, ore my views on
state and national matters. They are hon
estly entertained and frankly expressed.
If you believe they are right, support me.
If you think they are wrong, condemn
me.

with splendid courage to what seem'd al-
most certain victory, Borner, with his
matchless eloquence, and with the grand
eur of his superb and incisive reasoning,
threw himself into tile breach, and thun
dered along tlie line of the opposing polit
ical hosts with tlie stupendous blows of an
Ajax, In the very hour of defeat, and wlvm
the party was wavering for retreat, and
grasped the Hag of d-.iocraey and bore
it to a glorious victory. During these ex
citing times when tl.o ih-inoerat'.•• party
cried aloud for succor from its leaders,
the voice, of Candler and Atkinson wa:'.
silent in the land; and like Peter of old
when the lowering .-louds of rout
and defeat enveloped the party,
they 'stood and looked on from afar off.’ "
Thus Bob did it all. Be was the Ajax of
the Georgia democracy, and the other d< m
ocrats "stood and looked on from alar
off.” This is gall, check-the cheek that
puts to blush tlie much-abuse.d army mule
and the proverbial town cow.

had In Lite past so often honored itself by
honoring Howell Cobb, and James Jack
son, and Junius Hiliyer and Ben Hill. In

democracy was triumphant from Nicka

A ppalacbicola. I liad file honor of deliver
ing- tlie fatal blow, and never since has the
standard of an enemy been planted on her
ramparts in Georgia.
I did not ask the democratic, nomination
for congress. It was forced on me when
more aspiring men refused it. I led a for
lorn hope when defeat seemed inevitable,
from a sense of duty to my party when
old party leaders refused to malto the sac
rifice. Mr. Berner demands this nomina
tion as a right; as a reward for his party
services. He claims that lie has in the past
worked Incessantly for his party without
reward or Hie hope thereof. "Ajax thun

it. In .181’2 lie ran for congress, but. was de

not IPs fault; he did his best to get it—and
he did get it, during Mr. Cleveland’s ad
ministration, while that g.-itlleman was
taking care.of tlie lame ducks, a sum va
riously estimated from $12,0.10 to s2it,o-0

but candor comp.-ID us to admit that lie
has been pr. tty well paid for all tbo -ser

he has not. ills modesty han never pre

But, fellow citizens, 1 must b-g your
pardon for this self-laudation, it has never
been my custom to I.low my own horn,
nor to herald to the world my own ex
ploits; but sometimes it is necessary to
strike in self-defense, and this is one of
tlie times, when it has been charged that
mv "voice was silent in the land" when
d. tiioera.-y was assailed. 1 was lighting
the lutth-s of democracy in the stormy
days of reconslrttetion when the gentleman
wlio makes this charge and is da:ming tills
nomination as a right ijv-ause of ills party
rvi.-.-s was in swaddling bands. I fought

crime in Georgia to 1"- a democrat, and

which deem it a. patriotic duty to fling mud
at mo in their feeble way, and it is a
remarkablo fact that four of these are
owned or controlled by gentlemen who be
long to the official family of "our gallant
young governor”—one in Newnan, one In
Greenville, one in LaGrange and one ‘n
! Griffin. These gentlemen live and move
I and have their being in and around tho ex-
I ecutfvo office, and feed at tlie public trough.
Verily, the "ox knoweth Ills owner an 1 the
as.s his master’s crib.”
My countrymen, I have delivered my mes
sage. 1 have spoken candidly, honestly,
truthfully, naught extenuating nor setting
down naught in malice. I have given you
my opinion on all the leading questions
that now engage tbc attention of the peo
ple. I have told you what I will favor and
what I will oppose, if I am elected govern
or of Georgia. You may rely on what I
l ave said, for God being my helper, 1 will
redeem every pledge and carry out every
promise. But In order that no one may
misunderstand me, J will reca.pitalate.
I am, first of all, a democrat. I be
lieve as I believe in the truths of
Holy Writ, in the cardinal doctrines
of my party. I believe in the gold and
silver money of of the constitution,
; coined at all our mints free and un
limited, and without asking the per
mission of England or any other
on arth. I believe that this government
is big enough and old enough and
strong enough to have a financial pol
icy of its own. I believe in a grada
ted income tax, that wealth may bare
its share of the burdens of the gov
ernment.
In state matters I believe in tho most
rigid economy and the lowest possible rate
. f taxation, consistent with a proper re
gard for the honor, tho dignity and tho
cicdit of tho state and tho Institutions and
objects for which it must provide, but
I would pul on the brakes and see to it that
the rate of taxation be. lowered.
Just, but Exacting, with Corporations.
In dealing with corporations I
would see to it that they receive the
same consideration in the courts and
j in the legislature that natural persons
I receive —no more, no less —but should
i I find one of them trying to interfere
with politics, or to dominate legisla
tion, I would administer the severest
possible rebuke, and should it attempt
to evade or circumvent the constitu
tion, and by unlawful means lessen or
destroy competition, I would at once
institute proceedings to forfeit its
charter and protect the people against
its rapacity.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
The Banks Still in a Very Strong

New York, March 26. The Finan.-'cr says:
'l’lie statement of the clearing house limits
of N.-w York city for the week ending
March 2(’th slums a continued decrease in
loans and deposits, and an increase in
cash. Tlie results of the week’s .hinges
was to increase Hie reserve *>,791,425, th--
total idle cash in Banks now footing u:>
$;:3,851,4i5. The banks, therefore, ar<- in a
stronger position in this respect than sine.:
tin beginning of February, but it e.mnot be
said that tlie operations l>y which this in

The cash in batiks at the close of tin cur
rent week, however, w,.s just about at tlie
.•lo o equal to the total reserve reported
one month ago. The heavy changes In loan i
and deposits have been due In a. larg" part
to t.,,iit it'.-.i. -d liquida' ion ami the
paralysis which lias b--en creeping over tho
business and speculative world since
Malm: ino.lent. fnless some definite dis
position of the Cuban matter is made with
in a. few days, om- of the finest prospective
seasons in the- history of th*- country will
have b.-en partially ruim-.1. It is only nat
ural that the New York banks should put
themselves on the strongest possible foot
ing, sjnec a sudden demand for currency
will fall first of all on them, and it must
be said that tin y have risen to the . im-r
