ATKINSON THE MAN,
Colored Voters will Vote for the
Governor, Says Editor Gordon.
A. A. Gordon, the editor of The
Atlanta Reporter, and one of the
best informed colored men in the
state, stated yesterday that he be
lieved at least three-fourths of the
negro Voters of Georgia would cast
their votes for Mr. Atkinson for
governor.
Speaking of the political situa
tion from the colored man’s point
of view Gordon said:
“We have been left free to exer
:iso the right of franchisa in the
state election by an order of the
state central committee and no
other order from any source is
morally binding, it is our duty
to vote for McKinley, but we are
bound by party ties to vote for no
one else. In October we will cast
mr votes for those men who are
and have been friendly toward the
colored citizens of Georgia—men
who executed the law regardless of
partisanship.
“The comptroller’s report shows
111,000 colored and 180,000 white
polls in the state and I am safe to
say that not less 75 per cent of the
colored vote will bo cast for Mr.
Atkinson, who has been a governor
of the people. I say this with no
timidity or restraint, for while I
can say nothing for or against Mr.
Wright, the colored citizens
throughout Georgia will bear me
out in what I may say favorable
to Mr. Atkinson.
“Os all former governors Alexan
der 11. Stephens was the most im
partial. He treated the colored
■ men of the state justly and fnirly
more fairly than ever before. He
. worked hard to improve an infam
ous convict lease system. Where
Mr. Stephens Iwft off Mr. Atkinson
began. He labored hard to put
i ®
a stop to all mismanagement in
convict camps and his success has
' been greater than that of any of
his predecessors. Mr. Atkinson
has clearly shown that ultimately
( ho intends to put a complete stop
I t) convict abuses and he will suc
ceed if allowed to continue the
( good work already begun by reelec
tion to the governorship.
“Populists claim that Governor
1 Atkinson has imposed upon the
1 pardoning power vested in his
. hands. They cite tjiat ho pardon
• od a white man who acknowledged
to having killed a poor, innocent
negro. The true history of this
’ case shows that the real conspirator
m the murder was a white populist,
whom a populist jury let go free.
The prisoner was represented by
populist lawyers.—Constitution.
Our campaigh has not for its
object the reconstruction of socie
ty. We cannot insure to the vic
ious the fruits of the virtuous life.
Wo Would not invade the homo of
the provident in order to supply
the wants of the spendthrift.; we
do not propose to transfer the re
wards of industry to the lap of in
dolence. Property is and will re
main the stimulus to endeavor and
the compensation for toil. We be
lieve, as asserted in the declara
tion of independence that all men
are created equal; but that does
not mean that all men are or can
be equal in possessions, in ability
or merit; it simply means that all
shall stand equal before the law,
snd that government officials shall
not, in making, constructing or en
forcing the law, discriminate be
tween citizens. I assert the prop
erty rights, as well as the rights of
; persons, are safe in the hands of
| the common people. Abraham
Lincoln, in his message senttocon
' gress in December, 1861, said :“ No
men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toil up from
poverty; none less inclined to take
or touch aught which they have not
honestly earned.”—Bryan in his
New York speech .
What is the use of setting up

maelite.
What with getting our favorite

The Democratic party in Georgia
has been responsible for every pro

, The Populist party is essentially
• a fusionist party. It goes in with
I the Republicans in Alabama, and

of any devotion to principle in
these diverse and even antagonistic

The men of millions who made
periodical raids on tho treasury
gold reserve and thus made tho
bond issues necessary, are in a
large measure responsible for the
free silver sentiment which per
vades the country. Many of these
men now stand ready to spend a
few of their millions to defeat free
silver, but the probability is that
they are aroused too late, and that
their efforts as well as their mon
ey will be wasted —Enquirer-Sun.
Governor Atkinson has always
been prohibitionist, and has voted
for prohibition whenever that
question was at issue in his home
county. That, however, has little
to do with the gubernatorial race.
It is the legislature, and not the
governor, which makes the laws
for the state, and Governor Atkin

Cedartown Standard.
There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all the
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed lo
cal remedies for. and by constantly
i
failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced itincurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a consti
■ tutional disease, and therefore re-
I quires constitutional treatment.
I Hall's Catarrh cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney A’ Co., Toledo. Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on

For Representative.
I hereby announce myself a can
didate to represent the people of
Chattooga county in the next Gen
eral Assembly.
Believing as I do that “a public
office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by the people is their
servant and not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing the money question as
] the greatest issue of the day and
i favoring the fiee and unlimited
' coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
Ito 1 and following tho teachings
of Jefferson and Jackson that
National Banks and Banks of issue
are dangerous to the welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
:to be suppressed. Hence if elected
I will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors tho same.
Education is the hope of the
state, therefore 1 am in favor of a!
. liberal support of the public
j schools.
I oppose the present convictsys
j tern as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As the price of the products of
tebor has decreased and the pur
chasing power of money has in
creased and I deem it. juet and
i right that fees and salaries be re
. duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county I am very respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
