The Forsythe Chronicle may
really and truly mean well —poor
thing.
Atkinson and Berner are on dif
ferent platforms on many issues.
Whydont they “joint debate”
among themselves?.
Bob and Spence seem to be tak
ing the advice of Spence’s “vener
able old friend from Hall” and
are letting the joint debate busi
ness alone.
In a two column effort the Col
umbus Enquirer Sun tries to say
that Col. Ctndler made a mistake
in refusii g to join debate against
the combination.
The Superior court has granted
murderer Flam gan a new trial.
If Flanagan is lynched the blame
will lie at the “technical” depart
mentof the Superior court. The
people of DeKalb are slow to
wrath,
That such anti Candler papers
as the Atlanta Journal, Macon
Telegraph. Jet al, are’for the ; field
against Candler is very evident.
It will prove advantageous, how
ever, to the old free silver pioneer.
On with the dance.
Well what’s the matter? Why
don’t Bob and Spence proceed
with joint debate arrangements?
They are “joint debates” and
“champion stiunp speakers”—
and both were, only a few days
ago, just a spilin for
a fight. Car.t they “mix” with
out Pailroad Commissioner's
‘venerable friend from Hall” tak
ing a hand.
It may be “funny” but its a
fact that the cry of “snap judge
ment” is emenating from the
friends of the champion stump
speaker and joint debates-the very
people who in the same breath
say that Candler is afr lid of their
“men”—and all this when their
“men” have already taken the
stump from one to two weeks
ahead < f the next governor, hon
est. candid, able, fearless old
Allen 1) Candler.
HE DIDN'T PIPE.
The effort to enveigle Colonel
Candler into a three-cornered
debate in which his opponents
would have tne opening and
closing arguments, so to speak,
has failed. The people will hear
from Colonel Candler in due time,
but it is not necessary that he
should give his opponents all the
odds. Nor is it incumbent upon
him to draw the crowds for bis
enemies •
The ring organs urge that Col
onel Candler's refusal to pay into
the bunds of his opponents is a
sign of weakness. And yet if he
were weak they wouldn’t be so
eager to pnng about such an ar
rangement. And, strange to say,
they are sorry that he has be*ray
ed what they are pleased to call
his weakness. Verily the ways of
the peanut politician are dark and
incongruous.—Macon Neas.
BRUNSWICK TIMES KICKS
The following energetic kick
from the Brunswick Times, the
most enterprising daily in the
plucky little city by the sea, shows
that Brunswickians are not to
submit tamely to wanton injustice.
The Times says.
“Judge c Atkinson undoubtedly
owed Brunswick the recognition
of the first speech ts his campaign
It was here that he first secured
the recognition aud the reward of
his own abilities, that he laid the
foundations for his eminently
successful judicial carter, that he
received the encouragement, that
led to his candidacy for the su
preme bench and for the gtvernor
ship. Some hold that he made a
mistake in entering the race for
the governorship, but whatever
may be the opinion on this sub
ject. there is no question that
he made a mistake in departing
from the course of his opponents
and making his first speech out
of his home town,”
When,O, when will confidence
be restored? asks the Albany
Herald.
Flannigan gets a new trial
and Mrs. Nobles a respite; now
look out for lynching bees and
big rewards for lynchers.
The Americus Herald has let
out a reef and is flying before
the breezes of prosperity. Here’s
luck to you, Col. Eldridge.
I is beautiful, the unanmity
with which the anti-Candler press
is regretting, for Candler’s saka,
Colonel Candler's letter to Judge
Atkinson, declining for the present
the later’s proposal for a three
conered joint debate.
We have no doubt that Col.
Candler would have been stronger
had his friends fixed the time for
the primary for first week in July.
—Atlanta Journal.
Well, as you are not anxious
for Candler to be “stronger,” you
ought not tc complain, but feel
satisfied at the fixing of a date
that will keep hi.n from being
“stronger. “ —Marietta Journal.
Competition of thought in joint
bebate is the life of political
trade.—Atlanta Journal
Os course the Journal knows
But your Uncle Allen being
neither a politician or a
political trader will continue to
lead the people to honest .viotory
He will let the Journal’s “men”
run that feature all by their
lonelys.
It now looks as if there will be
no joint debates be’Wcen the dem
ocratic candedates for governor.
Your Uncle Alien’s not willing.—
Columbus Ledger.
Well, now, then. Why dont
you make your ‘ men” try it.
Bob is such a ca porter ■and Spence
is such a ranter—and its your
aggregation—make ’em debate,
Goddurn ’urn. You want a debate
and they are pawing the mud
and your Uncle Allen is willing—
for you to have your roosters fight.

Dr. J. M. Bosworth, a mem
ber of Walker street ceurch, At
lanta, from which Rev. J. T.
Gibson has been suspended,
says the charges are not so seri
ous as the public imagines. The
particular sentence in the letter
from Mr. Gibson to Mrs. Wood
is as follows : -“I admire you for
your many virtures and good
qualities. Only for them I could
not admire you as I do.” In
view of the fact that the parties
had been lifelong friends the
matter is not sufficient to damn
Rev. Gibson.—M arietta Journal.

“What would Candler do if
he should receive the Democrat
ic nomination and have to meet
Tom Watson on the stump?”—
Griffin News.
Do? Why he would do Wat
son as he had done your “men”
in the primaries and as he did
Emory Speer upon a former oc
casion. What inaident in the
brave old commoner’s career
will permit you to believe other

“If Berner is elected, who
will be mistress of the executive
mansion?” asks the Brunswick
Times. If Berner can’t get a
wife, why Berner need not hope
to get elected.

Here is one of Consul Gener
al Lee’s good stories, told on
himself: “We had surrendered
at Appomattox, and I was riding
slowly across the desolate coun
try towards my home. My heart
was heavy, my thoughts were
sad. Rounding a curve in the
roud, I saw an old man plowing
close to the fence. As I ap
proached him he eagerly inquir
ed of the news at the front.
* *
*
“ ‘lt is bad, very bad,’ I re
plied, ‘General Lee has surren
dered.’ ‘What is that you’re
sayin’?’ almost screamed the
old fellow. ‘Gen. Lee has sur
rendered and all is over.’ For
fully a minute he regarded me,
and then said with great con
tempt: ‘That’s all you know
about it. That little upstart of a
no ’count Fitz Lee mout have
surrendered, but Uncle Robert?
No, sirree, never I Get up,
Bess.’ ”
The Rome Hustler-Commer
cial wants to know when Spen
cer Atkinson was ever elected
to anything, anyhow. Well, he
will be elected governor of Geor
gia this fall.—Columbus Her
ald.
How can he be when he wont
be in the race this fall? Your
Uncle Allen is certain of the
nomination.

Minister Polo couldn’t bluff
Judge Day. When he asked the

was true that warships had been

receiving an affirmative reply,
asked again “What for?” Judge
Day promptly responded: “To
replace the Maine.”

THE ABILITY OF THE CAN
DLERS.
The ability of the Candlers to
say wh:tt they mean and say it
forcibly, has been pretty well es
tablished in Georgia, and the
refusal of Colonel Candler to
enter a joint debate against the
other two need not be taken by
anybody as inability to hold up
his end of the talk, or any lack
of sand in hi* gizzard.
Colonel Ca (idler will be heard
from during the campaign, and
he v ill hoe Ids own row straight
to victf ry on June Gth. If the
other honorable gentlemen who
are seeking the nomination elect
to trot in double harness, or to
entertai i the public with joint
debates, it is as much their priv
ilege to do so as it is Colonel
Candler’s to decline ; and, on the
other hand, it is as much Col.
Candler’s right to decline as it
is thoirs to engage in it. —Au-
gusta Chronicle.
The anti Candlerites complain
that Col. Crndler was in the
field first. That is true. It is also
true that the people put him in
race. The politicians put the
others in, and if they are dissat
isfied they have no one to blame
but themselves. '1 hey knew a
governor was to be elected and
need not have waited for Bill
Atkinson’s return from the Sun
day bull fights. Why don’t
Spencer Atkinson resign.
Floyd county has requested
the three candidates to meet in
general debate in Rome tomor
row. At least one-third of them
will not be there.—Augusta Her
ald.
The Herald is right on the
amount that will not “be there”
—for neither Atkinson or Ber
ne.! will accept and they are
about “one-third”of the strength
in the present fight. The Her
ald is wrong on dates, however.
Col. Candler’s letter to Spen
cer Atkinson, in which he de
clines to enter into joint debates,
for the present at least, is a
clean, clear and sensible docu
ment. Many anti-Candlerites
will trj’ to make great capital
out of it, but they will be wast
ing their time in so doing.—
Americus Herald.
