4 FROM STATE WATCH ■ WREN MBCBAIRIANCiar DECEIVE IR. HARRIS’ RESIGNATION? Mr. K<mm of Nr* York, and LncleHob. — Mi. W«l*on and Mr. M OMS. When did <h«irm*niA. R. < lay re ceive *!><• resignation oflConiuiitteeinau i Marx.i W. Harris? Did t airman Clay mrike the follow - ing remark to the Ma<«i 'lelegraph s Atlanta correspondent ? • The action of Mr. Harris, to »av | the h aat of ft, wa* very peculiar. He bad evidently communicated with th populists before he did with me. for | Watson's paper knew that the letter of , resignation had lx «n forwarded to m< | long before I hud ever heard of it, much less received it." • • • Those are two hard questions about which there is much talk throughout the state The latter is a matter of veracity ix tween Mr. Clay and the Telegraph s correspondent. Mr. Clay says he made no such.state ment; that he sinipiy intended to say that the first he knew of the resigna tion was when The Daily Press re porter called on Jiitn to inquire about it, tipd Mr. Clay leaves the itnjwesstou tliat he does not understand how Tin. Daily Press reporter knew of the mut ter except through Mr. Harris or his friends. It is reported that Mr. Clay made such a statement as the one above re ferred to in the presence of four demo crats at Durand's restaurant. Since none but democrats wore pres ent when the statement is said to nave been made, doubtless the public will have no further information in regard to the matter. • • • Concerning the first question, there are some facts and deductions'thut wili be of interest to the public. Hon. Marion W. Harris says that by no means known to the human intel lect. could his resignation have reached the public or The Daily Press until his letter was read al democratic cam paign hendquartera. This statement from Mr. Harris is very emphatic. .lust here are some interesting facts, which I shall briefly stale. Mr. Harris says his letter of resigna tion was mailed in Macon Monday, September 10 at 0:45 p. nt.; hence it must have reached democratic head quarters in Atlanta. by the 0:30 a. in. mail delivery: Tuesday morning At 9:30 n. m., Tuesday, Tint Daily I’JiBSH telegraphed Mr. Harris with reference to the resignation Mr. Harris’ reply was received ut 12 o'clock just two hours and a half later. Immediately Tur. Daily Press re porter called on Mr. Clay inquiring about the resignation. Mr. Clay said he had not received the resignation and knew nothing of it. Referring to tills. Sir. Harris says : "He denied it to This Daily Press reporter Tuesday morning. He denied it to the Constitution Tuesday night and to the Telegraph Tuesday night, sdfh“w”impers alt said, while, us a matter of fact, ho wrote me Tuesday morning (his letter being post-marked at 12:30 in Atlanta Tuesday and was received m Macon Tuesday night nt 8:331 acknowledging the receipt of my resignation, and saving: T sincerely hope you will witJidrbw your resigua t ion. ’ ” So, twenty minutes after Tuts Daily Press reporter loft Mr. Clay's presence, a let ter from Mr. Clay to Mr. Harris referring to the resignation, was post marked in Atlanta: iitid letters are not postmarked the very minute they are dropped into the post office either. Hut tho statement ft made above, that Mr. Cluv said, even as late as Tuesday night, that ho had not.recoived the res ignation. Whv say more? 1 desist. '• Mr. Vlay is one of “the men who con trol”* • • • Mr. IA. S. Clay, chairman of the state demoi Watte executive committee, is evi dently ' tired of his partner and co worker \ “Mr. Hoss, of New Xork. He saps: “1 didn’t employ Mr. Ron, nohow. Uncle Bob Hardeman, state treasure r, is running the nigger part of this ® unpaigu." This m. »>' be true, but when a I'hssb reporter t ulked wi.ti “Mr. Boss of New York" sou to time ugo Mr. Ross talked about “Ch; lit man Cluy" and •the exec utive tie did not mention Uncle Bob’t I name. Mr. Ross Mui much to say about what he proposed to do for Chairman Clay and the exec tttive committee. By the wu;(, Mr. Ross went down to Augusta lux I week to nose around in the tenth. Die nuist have received a cooler wclem so than is accorded him by Mr. Clay » nd Uaicle Bob in Atlanta, as he spent le as than two days in that city. Mr. Ross is nbt the howling success that the democrats expected to make of him. They do say th st Charlie Moses, since his experience of last Saturday, is the sickest man in Gebr j-ia When Mr. Watson announced his in tention of speaking in Carrollton, which is in Mr. Moses' district, Mr. Mooes at once announced his intention of asking Mr. Waiisoii to divide time. Mr. Watson did so. Democrats. even, admit that Mr. Moses got the worst ithrashiug of his life, and went away a sadder, but u much wiser man. The fact that Mr. Moses would meet Mr. Watson, was well advertised. In the election of ItAB, Mr. Northen received 2,000 votes in Carroll, und Col onel Peek 1.000. When Mr. Watson closed his speech Saturday, he asked all who voted for Peek tebold up their hands. Many u hand went up. “Now," said Mr. Watson, “all who will vote for Hines, hold up their hands." uud more than twice as many hands went up as did ou the first prop osition.

Moxtezcma, Gi. Sept. 17, 12 m.—/ Hon. Thos. E. Watson is now address ing an immense crowd of over 3,030 people. The audience is delighted and en-‘, thusiasm in the populist ranks is run ning high. The democratic trick of putting sev enteen negroes in the jury box of this county is thoroughly understood by the negroes, and will not benefit the demo cratic party one vote. The negroes have heard and believe that the names of the seventeen who were put in the box were written on colored paper and tied together so the democratic judge would not draw one of them out through mistake. Drifting To Populism. Every issue of the Atlanta Journal teems with editorials declaring that the democratic party is unalterably op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by placing one dollar’s worth of bullion in the coin. That paper and its lesser satellites contend that the gov ernment cannot restore the parity by free coinage, and denounce those who disagree as populists. It is small won der, therefore, that a larjfe and grow ing ■ number of voters iu Georgia do not know “where they are at,’ and have been sorely tempted to leave the democratic party. The editor of the Herald-Journal is of that class, and at this writing is simply drifting, waiting the record of the incoming congress and the declara tion of the next national democratic platform. As at present constituted, there is no party in accord with our views. The republicans have ably assisted Mr. Cleveland in carrying out his financial policy, and go to extremes in protec tion we are not ready to endorse, though we do believe that equity and sound democratic principles are against Mr. Cleveland's contentions for “free raw materials.” Our conception of true democracy is equal and exact jus tice to all, and a careful preservation of every important American industry. The populist platform, contending as it does for government ownership of railroad and telegraph lines, does not commend itsel f to us as an ideal one; and without entering into a discussion of the claims of its advocates we caunot but regard the scheme as one of doubt ful practicability, and fraught with possible danger. We are not a railroad magnate, and have never been able to grasp the situation in the light of a boon to the common people ; and until we have the question presented to us in a different light, shall be opposed to that feature of their platform. Again, we believe state banks, sur sounded with proper safeguards, will be a great aid to the South, and the populist stand with the Eastern de mocracy and the republican party in opposition to such banks. Otherwise, their financial policy as regards free coinage of silver and treasury notes to supplant national bank issues, meets our views, and we believe them right and just. Their contention for gov ernment loans direct to the people we consider wrong, and do not believe it defensible because of the wrong perpe trated in virtually loaning money to the whisky trust when they are al lowed to store their product. Notwithstanding our objections to that party, wc have been greatly tempted to allign ourselves with them, and only three things have restrained us—self-interest, the objections we have stated and the position of the leading men of the Georgia democratic party, who. with a very few exceptions, have endorsed the very plan of free coinage the Atlanta Journal, Hoke Smith and Henry G. Turner coudemn as populistic. It is unfortunate for the democratic party that such papers and such men are allowed to expound its principles, and if their counsel prevails in the policy of the national democracy, whose record to date does not meet the just expectations of the people, the party will go down iu deserved de feat. As it now stands, the Herald-Journal ean only drift with the current, hoping for the fulfillment of the financial pledge of the Chicago platform. We do not stand alone in the above position, and believe the brave, true and intelligent bimetallists iu the party will lead u revo't which will force financial reform to the front as the main issue, and that old party lines will be wiped out and the American people allign themselves on opposing sides of financial policy. We hone the party will redeem its pledges, for we do not like to tear down to build up, and are gratified to believe that, notwithstanding the contention of the goldbugs. the real loaders of the party in Georgia are for free coinage. We cannot find fault with such leaders, and have nothing but kind feelings for them. —G reensboro He mid-J ournal. IDtli Senatorial District.

HAMMOND “AC* KNOWLEDGES THE CORN.” SO DID JUDG HOPKINS. Col. Hammond and Judge Hop kins Don’t Know What Dem ocratic Doctrine Is. There was a very amus'mg incident in the superior court room last Saturday. A few days since the Fulton County Young Men's Democratic League in vited Col. N. J. Hummondito address them tonight Colonel Hammond is known as one of the best lawyers in the south, and rep resented his district in congress not many years since, and the young demo crats were anxious to have him add the 1 power of his words to the democratic I side in the present political contest. He acccptcu the invitation, ana is to , speak tonight at DeGive’s Marietta | Street opera house. Saturday morning last, Colonel Ham i nond arose in open court, addressed n is honor, Judge Lumpkin, and asked ti > be excused from chambers until Tuesday, September 18th. fudge J. I. Pendleton, of the firm of Sm ith & Pendleton, arose and objected, and enquired why Colonel Hammond desil cd to be excused. Col- Hammond said: ‘Tf'.l must give my reason, I will do so in a very few words, I am invited to make \ a democratic speech Monday night tt the Young Men’s Democratic League,’ and I want the time from now until thd. a to prepare for it.” “Why/ said Judge Pendleton in a disgusted tone of voice, "I thought democratic doctrine was so well under stood that .Col. Hammond would need no time for\oreparation. “Colonel H ammond, don’t you under stand the prii iciplcs of the democratic party?” “Sir.” replie d Colonel Hommond in his inimitable emphatic style—“ Sir, I do not, and I wi nt a little time to make sure of my posit ’on.’ This reply created a ripple of laugh ter. as well as a 1A He consternation. Turning to Judgi > John L. Hopkins, one of the state’s a, blest lawyers, Col. Hammond said: “Judge, do you urs lerstand it?” “No. I do not,” wa s the quick reply from Judge Hopkins. It is needless to aA’d that time was granted Colonel Han iinond to find "where he is at.” If the ablest men in i the democrcat party don’t understands, modern democi racy, what about the tone-gullus fel lows? Col. Hammond will tr y to find him self tonight. SOUTH’N BAPTIStVcOLLEGE At Manchester Dedicated to God Yesterday.

W. O. Butler, without any solicitation whatever on my part. Since the pub lication of your action, under the pres sure and earnest solicitation of friends, I have decided to accept the nomina tion with the following declarations, to-wit: I will make a clean race.

I had rather be defeated, than elected by any impure or fraudulent means,. Secondly. I desire to make the race on my merit as an honest man, and state most positively that 1 will not be a party to anj' foul methods.
