I am in favor of the free and un limited coinage of both gold and silver without asking the permission of England or any other power on earth.

If you are op posed to the restoration ot si'ver coinage, this makes an issue and I Wi’l engage with you to discuss onr differences. lam in favor of the most rigid economy and the lowest possible rate of taxation compatible with the honor, dgnity and credit of the state and obligations she has as-umed to her schools and pen sioners, If you agree with in this there is nothing for us to discuss. If you are opposed to it, I will meet you ana discuss the impor tance at all times, and especially at this time, of economy and low tux. I am in favor of meeting out equal and exact justice in the courts and m’the legislature to all clajs-’s of persons, white and black corporation and individual with out discrimination against either. If you agree with me in this there is nothing for us to discuss. If you are opposed to it, I will meet you and discuss it. I am in favor of clean methods and honest politics and fair elec tions. If yon are in favor of these things, there is nothing for us to discuss. If you are opposed to them. I will meet you and discuss them with you. I am opposed to what is known ns ring rule, which practically deprives the people of that fair choice in the selection of 'public officers to which they are entitled under the law. If you are in favor of ling rule I wil l meet you and discuss it with you. I am opposed to the use of money to control elections. If you are also opposed to its use for th ; s purpose, there is nothing tor us to debate. It you are io favor of it, 1 will meet you and discuss the question with you. II you agree with me as I pres ume you do, on all the foregoing propositions, there are no princi ples in which the people of this state are interested for us to discus and a “series of joint debates throughout the state” would necessarily be a series of personal controversies and would at once degenerate into a series of mud Hinging entreats in which a school boy would be mv equal and a blackguard my superior.

MARCH 21. 1898. IN THE RftGK Hon. W. H. Ennis Formally Announces FOR TLE SENATE- One of the Most Deservedly Popular Men. in the State. • Tn another column will be found the formal Announce ment of lion. W. 11. Ennis, who ’s making a winning race for State Senate. It is Floyd county’s turn to furnish the senator for the 42nd senatorial district this year, and for several weeks it has been known that Mr. Ennis’ friends would urge him for the place. Few young men in Georgia have ever won, in the same length of time, such popularity as Bill Ennis enjoys. He num bers his friends in Rome and Floyd county by the hundreds, while in the state he knows and enjoys the confidence of more of the State’s leading men than perhaps any other man of his years. Bill Ennis has been often tried by the people of this coun ty, and has never been found wanting. He is always on the side of the people and can be trusted freely and fully to pro tect the interests of his constit uents. Bill Ennis, loyal, true, fear less, conservative and able — Here’s to you, the next senator of the 42nd. result in schisms and the building up of factions in our party damag ing to it and the bsst interests of the people. Personal rivalry and personal ambition should never be allowed to control our action when great principles and the interests of the state and the people are at stake. These are ‘my views honestly entertained and frankly expressed. In them I believe I am right, and “I would rather be right than to be governor. We should all rem ember that so soon as the demo crats decide which one of us is to lead the fight against the common enemy, all other democrats must rally to his support. Hence we should avoid everything ealcu'a ted to engender bitterness, as such debates always do. among our selves and reserve our strength for the final contest with the enemy of democracy. However. I maybe wrong and you may be right. I see that my other opponent, the Hon. R. L. Berner, disagrees with me and agrees with you upon this question I see from the public prints that he has already accepted y< nr challenge for a “a series of joint debates throughout the state,” and I also notice that both of you have accepted the invitation from ’the democratic executive committee of Muscogee county to engage in a joint discussion at Columbus at such time as yen and he may agree upon. But entertaining my pres ent views I prefer to await the results upon the party which will necessarily be manifested from “the series of joint debates throughout the state” which you and he have already agreed to engage in and if'a ter on in the campaign after part of the “series of joint debates” between vou and the Hon, R. L. Berner have been made I should be convinced that you ai.d he are right, and I am wrong an<l it should not interfere too much with your official duties I will with pleasure take up the question of arranging some joint debates between us. Very truely. ALLEN D. CANDLER. NOT AN INCH Will be Conceded From OUr Firm Stand PREPARED FOR A|ff FOE Said Assistant Navy Secretary Roosevelt- I New York, March 21.—Assis tant Secretary of the Navy The odore Roosevelt, in an interview in the Journal today, says : “It is cheering to had newspapers that are telling the facts, as ‘hey exist and are ignoring the sug gestions of various kinds that emanate some sources that can not be described as patriotic or loyal to the flag of this country. “The statement that there is any backing down or any effort to sidetrack whatever may be pertinent to the situation ; that there is in the prospect any ele ment of uncertainty, should be repelled vigorously. “The Administration is making every preparation possi ble, and as the great task is nearing completion it can be safely said that within a few hours everything will be in readiness to meet any foe which may be encountered. “In my opinion the proper policy to pursue is to ask no fa vors, and to grant none. Not one inch will be conceded from the firm stand heretofore mani fested.” Jervis & Wrigbc, the uptown druggist, have no old stale stuff to offer you, but their stock is clean and fresh and they will do ‘as much for your in their way of service, prices, etc., as any one.

A wave of excitement swept this country yesterday, when it be came known that Alonzo Mur phy, on going to his barn, had found the arms of a woman tied up in a coffee sack and hid away among his implements, a discov ery that led up to the finding of tin remainder of the body near by.
