Speaking oommonecs at 11 a. m. ' Evans and Gordon at Barnesville. After much blowing of trumpets ind beating of drums the great Barnesville meeting came off, and Generals Evans and Gordon ad dressed a rather slender gathering of Mie people. We have looked over the report of General Evans’ speech and are pleased to note that the distinguished speaker preserved the elevated and Christian spirit which characterizes til that he does and all that he says- It would be difficult to find a more livid contrast that that afforded by Jen. Evans’ Barnesville speech and Mr. Atkinson’s Greenville harangue. By the way, if General Evans iivationed Atkinson’s name any where in bis address, we have failed to find it. General Evans evidently classes Atkinson among the undesirable ‘•members of the church." He ia willing to light for the church, but not for Atkinson. He can say a great deal for the iemocratic party —but not a word lan he say for Atkinson. To a man up a tree this looks very ignilicanL General Gordon made the same speech which we have all heard so often: “Appomatox, ’ Southern Con federacy," “Tariff Reform,'* “Free 1 Silver," “Glorious record of democ. racy,” etc. General Gordon haa been absent so much from the Senate that we cau haruly expect him to explain to the people how it was that the f agar Trust hypnotized the whole outfit. He ia quite sure, however, that the offices should not lie taken away from the democrat*. He has reached the conclusion that such *a step would ruin the country. The General made no reference to. Tallapoosa or to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, nor to the Tay lor county farm bonds be sold John luman at the time be sold the Geor gia State Bonds. General Gordon thioks it would burst up the government to have Congress buy the railroads. He did not say what he thought of the evils of the railroads buyiug up Congress. It might possibly hurt the country to have Senators buying up the rail roads for the good of the people, but it certainly ia a cause for serious alarm when we aee the railroads buying np the Senators for the use of the railroads. The Bevolt Against “The Men Who Control.” The Constitution last Sunday pub lished a letter from a colored man announcing that he would vote the democratic ticket. This makes the second one so far brought to light, one in Bulloch county and one in Loundes. While it seems that here and there democratic influences can induce a colored man to support the party which is opposed to a free ballot, and a fair count, how is it with the white voters? We published yes terday the letter of Hon. John Tem ple Graves to the Constitution. That letter shows where the men of Geor gia stand, who regard the honor and welfare of the state as of greater import than the success of a party We published also a letter from the color bear iu one of General Gor don’s regiments, which leaves no doubt as to where the old veterans stand in this fight between the “men who control” and the people. Today we reprint letters from one of the leading ministers of the South Georgia Conference, which show that the non-partisans are aroused to the iniquity of the present rule, and wiß throw the nyht of their influence npon the side of the people. So far as the state campaign is concerned, it is a weighty revolt of the people against the domination of the “men who control”—against the rule of the slate fixerz who parcel out the offices among themselves without re gard to fitness, and who, in their mad desire to hold on to office, trail the judicial ermine in the dust, and pollute our courta of justice. It is a fight for purity and honor in our atate government; and upon this is sue all good men can unite in their support of Judge James K. Hines and the populist ticket, men whose spotless record gives assurance of a clean administration. The Rome Hustler. “Tom Watson’s Press goes its full length in advertising “Tom Watson’s Speech at Douglasville for 10 cents,” “Tom Watson’s Campaign Book,” and Tom Watson's people’s party paper, Tub Press, at so much per month. Tom may be a statesman, but he certainly haa an eye on the sheckles “while he ia educating his followers" on campaign literature. Did Alex Stephens over do this kind of junketing business in his cam paigning, Tommie?” Shoo! buddie, you don’t know what you are talking about. Mr. Stephens wrote a book called “A Constitutional History of the War Between the States.” Having written this book, he thought it no crime to desire to sell it * Desiring to sell it, he thought it no crime to advertise it Therefore, tho book was duly ad vertised and duly sold. Didn’t know this, did you, Hust ler? lie also wrote a book called the “History of the United States;” also another called “A School History of the Upited Status.” These books were duly advertised and duly sold. Therefore in writing books and in selling them we are not doing any violence to the precept or the exam ple of Mr. Stephens. There is no law compelling Popu lists to buy our books. We state , this because the Hustler seems to I be under the impression that there is. If we had thought of it in time we might have made a deal with Have meyer of the Sugar Trust, and Rockefeller of the Standard Oil I Trust, by which we might have got from the present Congress just what THE DAILY PRESS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1894. they got—the power of taxing every home iu the Union for the benefit of our private properly. B'it we did not think of it in time and hence we can only sell our books *to the voluntary victims who are willing to buy them. Have one, Hustler? Same old price ; same old stand one for half a dollar, or three for a j dollar. By the way, Hustler, where | were you raised “at,” anyhow? The Railroad Question, dis cussed by Thos. E.

Raise your hat from off your brain, honest Georgia democrat, and J you are a true friend to yourself, your neighbor and your state, care fully consider the following indis putable facts: You did not know that the admin istration of Governor Northen b last term of office was mare expensive than the last term of Governor Ru fus B. Bullock, did you ? Yet it is a fact. You do know that tho people of Georgia revolted against Rufus B. Bullock and the “men who con trolled” in those days, and changed the administration from republican to democratic. As a tax-payer, have you been benefitted ? What was the rate of state tax in 1870?—Answer: 40 cents on the hundred dollars. What was the value of taxable property in the state in 1870?—An swer: 1210,000,000 m round num bers. What political power had “control’’ of the state and who was governor? Answer: The republican party. Ru fus B. Bullock. What was the price of cottom your chief staple, in 1870—? Answer; 23 cents per pound. If the farmer averaged 6 bales to the plow, and “lived at home,” how much money did 6 bales give him?— Answer: 1690.00. What was the rate of state tax in the fiscal year, 1893?—Answer : 46 1-10 cents on the hundred dollars. What was the value of all taxable property in 1893? —Answer: 1447,- 000,000, in round numbers. What political party had “control” of the state in. 1893, and who was governor ? Answer: The simon pure-rock-ribbed democratic party — W. J. Northen, the individual who gave utterance to the impious and unmanly sentence, “Strike your wife who in early life gave you her maid en name; strike your child who at eventide kneels with folded hands to psp its prayer; but for «God’s sake! for God’s sake! don’t strike the dear old democratic party.” What was the price of cotton in 1893? Answer: Six cents per pound. How much money did the six bales give the farmer that year? Answer: One hundred and eighty dollars. You sold six bales of cotton in 1870 and got $690, from which you could eosily pay your taxes. In 1893 you sold six bales of cot ton and got SIBO. Not quite so easy to pay the tax as it was in 1870, was it ? What are you going to do about it? ■ Citizens of Early County Say It Is a Lie. At a meeting of citizens held at Arlington, Ga., August 17th., Messrs C. W. Simmons and T. J. Lanier were appointed a committee to in. vestigate the accusations made in the Atlanta Constitution of the 14th about third partyites riding in Early county and terronizing the negroes* They forward us the. following re port : “We the citizens of the Damascus district of Early county whose names are hereunto attached, con demn in unmeasured terms the arti cle that appeared in the Atlanta Constitution of the 14th inst. charg ing that ‘thirty-third partyites rode at night and threatened the negroes with dire vengeance if they voted in the democratic primary to occur the following day, and riddled the negro shanties with bullets as they rode away.’ ” We allege and charge that the ac cusation is a malicious falsehood, and that the correspondent of the Con stitution knew it be such. Signed, Allen White, Reese Minis tre, Bill Chester, (col.), A. 11. Metis, S. M. Phillips, H. A. Coleman, Z. T. Webb, G W. Simons, T. J. Lanier and many others. Thu Daily Press did not be lieve such an incident as described in the Constitution of the 14th oc- eurred, and so staled 'in our com ments at the time. The people of Early oounty have cause to thank i these gentleman for lifting the mat ter and branding it as it deserves — “a malicious falsehood —campaign lies.’’ Comiteraatiog Reigns. It seems that in a recent issue of Che Talbotton Newif Rev. J. B. Mc- Gehee, iu relating observations and incidents of an extended trip, among 1 other things mentioned the fact that numbers of demo irate were going to vote for J.udf'e Hines. This latter statement provoked a reply, in which an anonymous writer, without dis; utiffg a single staiement made by the levereud gentleman, showered upon him unmeasured abuse. To this in turn Rev. J. B. McGehee replies in a card in last w< ek’s issue of the News, and after pointing put the cowardice of the anonymous attack, he concludes as follows . We are glad our letter was copied. Strange and startling as the truths are they truths -“many Evans men are going ito Judge Hines”—and it is the kn >wl'idgu of that fact that is filling Georgia with campaigners from this iother states—even going so far /as to hire the northern negro, Ross. As 1 said, “they are going in Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, smaller towns, villa ges and country” - and the leaders know it, and "Weary Citizen” knows it and did not deny it. It was much easier for him and, maybe, gratified a personal spl<- n for him to dodge all that and “go for” me. To his fling at “congenial company” we simply say we pick our company, and find gentlemen and patriots in all parties, We shall continue this course until parties put away corruption, re gard their pledges and do something for the country. High corn and meat, low cotton and the blooming prospect of increased taxation, poorly prepare us to continue even ancient corpora tions when once we suspect that they are run by "state fixers” and county satraps. In conclusion we submit to our con cealed friend the following: Throw off your mask. Prove your identity and respectability. Select any statement in my letter, name day and place and I will prove all I have said. From Co lumbus, Macon, Atlanta, villages— even in old Talbot —I will bring Evans men who are going to vote for Judge Hines. Mark me, 1 do not propose a political speech beyond the points covered by letter. In the meantime, my friend would do well to surrender all prejudices against “my favorite quotation,” “render unto Caesar the. things which are Caisar’s.” We fear that in common with thousands he has left off loyalty and service to Ciesar, and is surrendering himself soul and body and pantaloons to the bossing, bidding, dictations and doings of “the grand old party.” J. B. McGehee. General Evans on the Stump. There is no uncertainty or doubt about the following article, which was written by one of the leading ministers of the South Georgia Con ference, and published in the Tal botton Nq,ws: He is published to speak at Barnes ville next Saturday. We think the General is. making a great mistake. NCVVMmmLm no-right to speak—not that. Not because he is a minister— not that. When he first went before the people he appeared as one called by the peo ple. and so stated—and had the popular voice been heard, the popular will been indulged, he would have been nomina ted aud elected. It is useless to recall the plans, the tricks, the charges of that campaign. They were sufficient Io cause the state convention to adopt u resolution that would save the state from any future campaign of like char acter. With these facts before him, for he felt them, General Evans now takes the stump, and by so doing condones and endorses them. Some men. mere poli ticians can afford to endorse all nomi nees and stump for them regardlesss of the methods employed to secure the nomination, but General Evaus can not His friends who are sorely hurt, sorrow to see him playing the role of a politician. He ought to be silent. The very sight of him yoked up with the men who humiliated him and the old soldiers, and trotted around will cause thousands to say well, if the poli ticians have a right to have a party so have the people. He will not help Mr. Atkinson. His best friends and old soldiers will have less respect for him. Go home, General. Go home. J. B. M. Eveu the Democrats Laugh at the New Tariff Bill. Washington Post.] The democrats themselves are be ginning to tell some racy stories apropos of their experience in tariff tinkering. One of the best was re lated by one of Mr. Wilson’s party associates”for the special benefit of Mr. Reed, who tells it to his friends with a succession of unctuous chuckles. This democrat said the result of the tariff fight reminded him of a negro who had captured a ’possum and prepared himself for a ’possum dinner with potatoes and gravy. While the ’possum was baking and almost ready to be taken off the tire, the darkey, who had grown drowsy with watching the pan, stretched himself out in the shade of a tree close by, and ere long was fast asleep. Along came a second, more enterprising gentleman of color with a weakness for baked ’possum. Seeing the other asleep, he lifted the cover and saw that the feast was ready for the table. He filled himself full of ’poasum meat and sweet potatoes, picked the bones, and then rubbed what was left of the gravy on the sleeping darky’s mouth and fingers. This done, he walked away. By and by the owner of the ’pos sum awoke, and to his dismay dis covered only the picked bones of the feast- He looked at his hands, tast ed the gravy on the edge of his mouth,and suddenly exclaimed: “Well, Ureas my soul, yere’s my fingers full o’ ’possum an’ sweet ’ta ters, an’ I kii taste ’possum an’sweet ’latent on my lips,” (here he smacked his lips with an imaginary relish), “but I declar, dat's de most ousatis factory ’possum 1 ever did eat.” Get Watson’s Campaign Book.
