Thorn It no looter nny qneitloo of the fact that the now governor of
Now York M n tnan of force and bonoety, and that he lo using with groat
and wholesome effect the liberty which accrued to him from in election In
which the Republican machine did not lay him under obligntlona.
The individuality of Governor Hogboe and hit firm devotion to Idea*
and Ideal*, wae llluetrated In a rather tmuiual way at tho rollicking dinner
given teat week by *The Old Ames Comer” at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
Rooaevolt, Hand man, McClellan and many other national figure* were
hard bit by the fuamakere. but the eheer force of the governor'* pereon-
ellty abeointely defeated the mote or teee alncjre "guying'' prepared for
him, and turned the banquet into an enthusiastic deaonitraUon In bln
honor.
Before a mock Invaatigatioa committee of a mock etate legislature
the toastmaster summoned Mr. Hughes. Many chargee had been drawn
against him. and although all were wildly farcical, yet each concealed an
Indirect chance for some of the Republican war horses to get even with
the executive for bli dean anti-machine method* at Albany. Unexpect
edly the governor galnad an opportunity to epeak In hi* own defense.
"The people have done with the men who will use public office
for their own benefit." ha anld, wtth the calm enroeetneas that
marked Ms conduct of the lnsursnce Investigation. “I was not
elected to pisy politics, sad I am not doing so. I was not elected
to build op a machine, and i am not building one. I was not
elected to set faction against faction, or to facilitate personal am-
blUona. snd I am not doing so. I waa elected to transact the busi
ness of the state in tbs way It nbonld be transacted, and that 1 am
endeavoring to do, although no one knows hoar difficult It Is, or
how far short I have fallen of the Ideal I have set for myself.
That ended the jolting so far ns the governor of Now Tork was con
cerned. it brought even the harassed gangsters to their feet waring
their napkin* and chsering wildly. Earnsstness and sincerity bad again
turned aside the difficult, Indirect attack, of ridicule.
The Chicago Evening Post, commenting on tkn Incident, declares that
Hughe* drove home the lesson that a man oaa succeed In American poli
tics even without the aid of a yankee senna of htsmor.

When tbe auditorium project waa first proposed, sod during the early
days of Its advocacy, 'Tbe Georgian used repeatedly aa oaa of tba argu
ments for Its construction, that with thla equipment, Atlanta would be able
to ask apd perhaps to racalva, tba next Democratic' national convention.
Thla argument and plea we have repeated from time to time.
When tbe Atock and bonds ware subscribed and tba projsct seemed as
sured, our esteemed contemporary of The Constitution lant itself to a
rigorous advocacy of this asms proposition.
And wltMn the weak, since tbe elty council pro rata has bean voted
and tba lot baa bean chosen and n formal organisation bean perfected,
our esteemed contemporary of Tbe Journal falls Into Une with a hearty
editorial Indorsement of tbe same plan.
In tbe usual order of things, journalistic and ancient, it would be rea
sonable to suppose that the three newepaper* would begin new to wrangle
over tbe queatlon of priority and eaob of them to claim the honor and dis
tinction of baring first voiced tbe suggestion.
no such thing.
The holding of the national Democratic convention In Atlanta waa a
perfectly natural suggestion growing out of the construction of a great
auditorium. Anybody might hava«been likely to euggeat the same thing.
It required no Ingenuity of municipal Intellect and no vast brain to bare
promulgated the Idea.
It dots not matter In the least who first suggested tbs plan. Tbe whole
some and pleasing fact Is evident that tbe three newspaper* of Atlanta
are a unit In It* advocacy and with tbla serried rank of journalistic In
fluence to liegln wltb, Atlanta ought now to go out terlously and earnestly
tu capture the convention. > '
'With one of our fellow cltlxena on the national Democratic commit
tee which decides thla Important matter—and another an kt-metnber of
that committee-with the admirable prestige of Atlanta throughout the
country; wltb tbe good will entertained by all sectlona without regard to
politics to this city which baa been ao national In Its spirit, sympathy and
hospitality*; with the enormous numerical claims wblch tbe South has
upon tbe national Democratic party and with Atlanta freely recognised
aa tbe real capital of politics, sentiment, and progress in the South, and
finally with the proas and tbe public opinion of thla twentleth century
city a unit In advocacy, there certainly ought to ba tbe odat reasonable
and well founded hope of Capturing tbta greatest of ail conventions for
this great and representative capital of tbe Bouth.
wa *U|fn*t that Ihe-ritteeAe* hf T’nmnteroq at sn early data bold Bn

President Pope will make an early call for such an assembly, wblcb
cannot begin too soon to organise and press the Important movement.
WHAT WILL OABOLINA DO WITH LIQUOR?
It Is Impossible from a fraternal point of view not to eympatblxe with
the sheer personal joy of tbe Columbia State In tbe abolition of tha state
dispensary.
In double leaded ecsteelea Tha State recounts tha fget and rejoices.
In a brief but scathing summary In which tt gives the evils attendant up
on tbe dlsitensary, Tbe 8tate adds thla paragraph:
"And now, by the grace of God and the will of tbe people of
South Carolina, It la dead—and dead beyond resurrection. Those
that have fattened upon It financially, mid those that bare drawn
(•olltlcal strength from Its scum, may hope against hope for a revi
val. and may dream that next year the people will reverie them-
selves. Indeed these may be now planning fbr another whisky
campaign. But It Is the drowning politician grasping at straws.
The people have placed tbe Irrevocable seal or repudiation on the
syetem."
It only remain! now to ask what South Carolina Is going to do without
the dispensary? Will the state Jump from dispensary liquor to the open
saloon? Will tbe prohibition forces rally for a state campaign or will
tbe dispensary rally for anothar trial at the next election under n promise
of reform In the methods of Ita conduct?
Tha Georgia advocates of the dispensary have given e much better ac
count of themselves at Rome and at Athens than haa the eyetem In South
Carolina, and tt ts perhaps true thatrlf tha dlapenaary had worked In the
Palmetto State ae honestly as It has been admlnletered In theee two no
table counties In Georgia, Senator Tillman might bave recorded a dif
ferent remit In the last stile election In South Caroline.
Hut we are waiting now with much anxiety to tee what South Caro
lina. after all Its experience. It going to do with the llquur traffic.

Auguita contemporary, Mr. Pbtnixy la a man sn largely engaged just new
in regulating anil Improving tba details of the Georgia railway that be
doubtless has no tlmn to scan too closely the details of the Thaw trial
which doubt lean me left within the direction of the Office Roy In hie gib-
neiiec.
We feel sure that he could not have filled to be impressed with the
l>ow*r and pathua of The Georgian's appeal for clean Journalism In this
matter, aud we are quit* eure that even If lie had survived our own dl-
ilertlcs. he would perforce have tiiccumlieil to the heart in heart talks of
our esteemed contemporary of The Constitution.
To tell the truth e*e have not noticed that Editor Phtiitiv has printed
any inure details than tbe reel of us. and our grief constate in the fact
that lie defiantly refuses to apologlre for those that he hat' already
printed. •
Meanwhile we will take the matter under prayerful sdvltemeat wltb
our distinguished vli-avls across the street and see If we can labor with
Editor Phlnliy along reform linen up in the period when the government
