Editorial Mang’r. Entered at Atlanta P. O. as second-class matter. Col. Aveky is in Athena. Every Democrat who lives in this coun ty can vote to-morrow. Pryor L. Mynatt is a man of the peo ple, for the people and with the people. Croaking about dull times will never make brighter ones. Hard work will do the business. Atlanta merchants and people will not support a paper that is continually trying to cry the city down. No registration is necessary to be able to cast your vote to-morrow. Every Dem ocrat of the county can vote. Colonel Mynatt’k ticket has no one on it but working men and merchants. The ringsters were purposely left off. Busnehh men coming to the city from other cities affirm positively that business is not depressed as much in Atlanta as in other cities. That big ring that the tricksters tried to fix up Monday night a week ago will trip up the tricksters themselves if they are not cautious. Col. Mynatt is not an autocrat anil a stiff-necked monopolist, who never recog nizes any one save the wealthy—except when he is a candidate. Gladstone’s present defeat might prop erly be called a “grand victory.’’ Glad stone will now shine brighter in the firm ament of English Heroes. Colonel Mynatt will never “pair’’ with some voter whenever labor or corpo ration bills are before Congress. He will be on hand to cast his vote for the right. The workingman should leave his work long enough to-morrow to cast a vote for Pryor L Mynatt, the man who will guard his interests before the National Congress. It is the most nonsensical of twaddle to affirm that Atlanta business is depressed, all on account of prohibition, when there is not a city in the United States that is not suffering from depression. Thb antis as a whole will vote almost solidly for Colonel Hammond, who is rec ognized to be their candidate. Colonel Mynatt took no active part in that contest, but voted according to his convictions. Pkhhonai.lv, Col. Mynatt’s opponents have found nothing to say against him. This is something rare in a candidacy. The people appreciate his standing, and recognize that Col. Mynatt being there fore, above reproach, morally, they can safely extend to him their suffmges, and place him, with his large brain, progress iveness and fearlessness, in the National Congress to legislate for them. Ik Conductor McLendon thinks that bulldozing will force The Capitol to do what it cannot truthfully do he is mista ken in his calculations. Conductor Mc- Lendon was very happy and smiling when the writer was saying kind things of him, but men tometimes get very officious after being honored and petted, and in their desire to rule they forget themselves as it were. PROUHFAMVE MEN WANTED. Carlton’s defeat of Reese in the eighth is exactly what The Capitol predicted. It was not due to great brain that ena bled us to make the prophesy, but be cause we had talked with many men from that district, who gave us the situation. The people have gotten tired of keeping in Washington whose only good quality perhaps is that they do no harm. These are stirring, progressive, important times, and the country does not want or demand simply safe men, safe because they never do anything either harmful or beneficial, but its demands are for men of , nerve, pluck, brain and progressiveness, who will actively advocate bills for the benefit of the people. Labor interests are at stake, monopo lists are trying to get their grip on the country, centralization of power is the scheme of the day, and the people are awake to the demands of the hour. In tins, Fulton county, the voters will assert themselves to-morrow. Here you have the two candidates: Hon. Pryor L. Mynatt, a man among men, who has nerve and progressiveness as well as brain and sound judgment, a man who has ever been found ready to raise his voice on the side of the people. Hon. N. J. Hammond, who has repre sented this district eight years, and a man whose character morally and as a gentle man also is unimpeachable, but what has he done for his people ? We repeat the question, what has he done for his peo ple ? True, he may have been a safe man in many respects, because he has done nothing of great harm, but that is not what the people want. The people of the fifth have taken W. EL. H. Carlton, whoee record shows him not only to be a safe man, but a man of progressiveness and of modern ideas, and to morrow this district, as far as Fulton county goes, will vote for Pryor L. My natt, who is also not only a safe man, but a man who is alive to the needs of modern times. Two years in Congress and he will have made a record—a record on the side of the people and the pressing, urgent needs of the South. A change is desired, and packed con ventions, such as the unprecedented, un fair one of Monday night, and the un called-for slur of “Oh, Mynatt, he hasn’t the ghost of a chance,” all in the interest of Colonel Hammond and done for eflect only, will do nothing towards staying the swelling tide that is sweeping the county and district in the interest of Colonel My natt. THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS. Personal information from many of the outlying districts shows that they will rise up en masse, to-morrow, and condemn the square cut at them last Monday night, the manifest partiality to the city pre cincts, and the unprecedented unfair meeting of that night to them, inasmuch as it was purposely called by Hammond men, and committee, chairman and all, at night when they could not possibly be present to have a voice in the proceedings, by casting a solid vote for Col. P. L. My natt, who could never act with any un fairness whatever to the country people or the working men. The country yeomanry of Fulton are honest, sturdy gentlemen of brain and judgment, and they do not care to be longer totally ignored in the arranging of Fulton county affairs. And they are eminently right. Any meeting called to arrange for a se lection of the date for voting for a Con gressman should be attended by the coun try people. It should be called at noon when they can get to it, or else, if at night, the date of the primary should be put off until all the districts have had a chance to listen to the candidates and judge ior themselves, as well as the city precincts. The very short time given by the packed, oi “ cut and dried,” Hammond conven tion, last Monday, shout out the outlying districts from seeing or hearing the candi dates, and practically said to them, You vote for our candidate, Col. Hammond, just because we say you must. If we are not mistaken, Col. Hammond never did take much interest in the coun try people’s votes, anyhow. Two years ago he spent little or no time with them except in one or two districts, if our mem ory serves us right, and as a consequence the able candidate, Captain Jackson, who was barely beaten by only two hundred votes in the whole county by a contempt ible charge against his character, did re ceive a very handsome and nearly unani mous vote in all of the outlying districts. Their vote this year, with the immense working man’s and large business man’s vote of the city, will count, and they can feel that they have had a hand in electing a man of their own choice andnne in sym pathy with their needs. Let every voter leave his plow and his field, for a short time at least, and if pos sible for the whole day, to cast his own and secure as many others as possible for a man who is not a monopolist, an auto crat or a corporation lawyer. Os course men who will resort to such trickery as that of Monday night will not hesitate to marshal their forces and send their strikers to each district to flatter and deceive to get votes for their candidate, Col. Hammond, but this will be useless, because the country people have judg ment and discrimination, and they will not miss this, their golden opportunity, to put their seal of condemnation on trick ery, unfairness, monopoly and centraliza tion DID NOT HUBST THE BUBBLE SO FAST. “Yes, we determined to prick that bub ble of Colonel Mynatt’s,” said one of the earnest Hammond supporters at the Ful ton county ? Hammond meeting Monday night—“hence applied our quickest plasters to the chairman and Democratic committee to get them to call a meeting whose real purpose should be hid in the notice and rushed around and brought in a big majority of Hammond people to or der an early primary so as to frighten Colonel Mynatt off." But the bubble, though pricked so ve hemently, did not burst all at once as ex pected. Truth is this sharp bubble prick er, who has had some experience before and consequently ought to know how, did not realize the strength of Colonel My natt’s candidacy. He probably was not aware that Ala bama street, the Wall street of Atlanta, was almost solid for Colonel Mynatt. That the laboring element, the most powerful body in any country, was nearly a unit for Colonel Mynatt; that the country yeo manry were for fairness, representation and Colonel Mynatt; that all of the pro hibitionists were for Colonel Mynatt, and that a large “floating” vote remembered Colonel Hammond’s promise of two years ago, that if they would “only please elect him once more at that time that he would not ‘jump out of his boots’ the next time a convention was packed on him in At lanta.” It is reported that Col. N. J. Hammond, our present Congressman, may have the Solicitor-Generalship of the United States offered to him. He would fill that office ably and satisfactorily. The long shoremen of New Orleans are having some trouble about loading and shipping lumber. The long shoremen of the city are divided into districts, and the THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA. MONDAY, JULY 19. 'BB6 district called Gretna complain that men are hired in their district from other dis tricts and they are preventing them from work. Verily the labor interests of the country are in a state of dissatisfaction and something modifying will have to be done. John Roach, the great ship builder, is dying at his home on Long Island. Both of Atlanta’s Sunday papers lean heavily on the side of anti-prohibition. The various labor interests of the coun try demand that menjbe sent to the halls of legislation who will guard their inter ests carefully. Athens is having a gala time. Her commencement exercises, -always brilliant, are unusually fascinating this year. Large numbers of society leaders are there and the hospitalities of the city are as usual extended in fullness to every visitor. Athens homes are proverbially hospita ble. CAPITOL CRAYONS. Smallpox in a malignant form is raging in lowa. „ A Twa-Third* Vote. General Gordon now baa 236 votes, and Bacon 78. This gives the General more than a two thirds vote of the convention. J. J. Griffin, the smiling A. G. P. A. of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, sect out good crowds yesterday to Austell, 50c round trip, Hiram 75c, Indian Springs SI.OO, and sev eral others. This line is up with the times on Sunday excursions, and Griflin catches on to some things that are ahead of time. Hal Morrison, Atlanta’s popular young ar tist, leaves to-day for the mountains of North Carolina to spend the summer. He will busy himself taking sketches, studies and gems of mountain scenery for his next win ter’s studio work. His charming little wife and beautiful baby will accompany him. Mrs. Baylor Stewart, the distinguished instructress of the Washington Seminary, re cently had an urgent call accompanied with a large salary offer to teach in a neighboring State, but Mrs. Stewart declined the offer much to the satisfaction of many Atlantians and will open her seminary here in the fall as promised. She is a skilful teacher, a polished,accomplished lady and a delightful social companion, and we are glad she can not be induced to leave us. Cal. Mynatt’* Court House Speech- Why Not Published. Many people have asked why Col. Mynatt’s speech has not been published. No one regrets that it has not more than Tbs Capitol, because it was so clear and explicit upon the issues of the canvass and one of the ablest that has ever been delivered in Fulton county. We asked Col. Mynatt about the matter and he said that he had not thought of having it done until some of his friends came to him about the matter the next day when it was of course too late. Off for Blew York. W. H. Brenner leaves this city to-day ftr New York city, where he-will engage in electric engineering. Mr. Brenner is a Georgia boy, and while get ting his education, spent three years in the test ing rooms of T. A. Edison. He has superintended the erection of numer ous electrical plants, both north and south. He has represented the Edison Company in this city about a year. During his residence here he has made many friends. He is a valued and active member of the flourishing order of Knights of Pythias, and has taken a considerable interest in some local social clubs, among which can be prominently mentioned the Ylo Club. He was one of its founders. He gave it its name and was a hard working officer. That club has passed resolu tions of love and esteem and good wishes for him, which will be suitably engrossed and sent to him. Tax Capitol offers to Mr. Brenner its most hearty good wishes, and feels that be deserves them. He deserves to succeed. He will succeed, be cause any young man who puts his hand on the plow, determined to plough his way through and reach the top or die, will, with studiousness, in dustry and pluck, such as he possesses, win suc cess of the first degree. Tax workingmen understand fully Col. Ham mond’s silence on Saturday night on the great labor questions of the day. He did wisely to say nothing, under the circumstances, because labor is well organized, but they will show their opinion of his silence by voting for Mynatt to morrow. Mr. Hammond makes no satisfactory ex planation why he voted against the Reagan bill. He dodged the issue very adroitly in that, the same as every other important question he touches upon. A Well Know** Physician. Elberton, Ga., June 16th, 1886. . The Swift Specific Co. —Gentlemen: During the year 1876 1 was attacked with articular rheumatism —the effect of expos ure to dampness and night air. I ex hausted all the remedies known to our profession, including iodide of potash in various combinations, wine of co'ebieum, fluid extract of poke root, and various other preparations, including a patent potash preparation. I was also treated tor several years bv a number of our best physicians," but obtained no permanent relief. For nearly a year I was confined almost continuously to my bed, and could not attend to business of any kind. Being a practicing physician I was somewhat prejudiced against patent medicines, but coming in contact with traveling salesmen almost every day, who with one accord recommended the S. S. S. to me, I finally concluded to try it. 1 commenced im proving while using the first bottle, and when I had finished half a dozen bottles I was so much improved that I was able to walk about and attend to my business once more.
