LEE’S BOOM IS LAUNCHED.
The people of Boston are going
to give Consul-General Lee u
great reception when he returns
from Cuba, But this is not al),
Tha people of Boston are saving
that, according to the eternal
fitness of things, Consul-General
Lee deserves a place on the next
presidential ticket.
Even this is not ail. According
to ex-Senator John Martin, (,ho
pf ople of Kansas pgr< e with the
peopb- of Boston, with tha dif
ference that lhe people of Kansas
tbiuk that the general should lead
ibe ticket i istead of bring its file
closer. General Lee, ol course has
never dreamed of seeking either
of these honors, and doubtless
would not seek them even if the
nomination were offered 'o him.
but that does not matter,
The significance of these facts
lies not in the probability of the
general as a factor in national
politics, but as pointing conclu
sively to the final burial of the
•ast. vestige ol sectional bitterness.
Kansas, after the close of the late
war, inserted a provision in her
state constitution disfranchijii g
those who had borne arms in the
rebellion.
Many of us who are not very
old can remember when the af
fection for the rebels in New
England was not that love that
passeth understanding. In other
words, nowhere in the United
States was feeling stronger against
those who would have disrupted
the union than in these sections
which would now support for the
highest honor in the gUt of lhe
peop'e aformer leader in the army
of tbeConfederacy.
As bad as are the results of the
present war scare, they are fully
compensated for m these manifes
tations alcne. The people of Bos
ton and the people of Kansas are
right. In patriotism, in devotion
to the union. General Lee is
entirely worthy of any confidence
that could be reposed in him, and
as he is so is tbe whole south.
With him they have turned
from the old fallacies, accepting
new conditions. Their faith in
and devotion to the union aie
founded upon the rock of sincei
ity, and they may be expected
all times and under all o niditioi s
to manifest that splendid patriot
ism which is the priceless herit
age of every true American citizen.
—Philadelphia Times.
The Milwaukee Journal says:
We might as well do it as some
body else:
For President —
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
At Present of Havana.
The editor of the Ashburn
Advance is fighting a ghost who
has written on a slate and signed
himself “B Red Hot Pop,” Only
a ghost would use such an im
possible name.
Fully ninety per cent of the
newspapers of Georgia favor the
early primary. This makes it
very lonesome for the remaining
few—and the brag stump speak
ers and champion joint debaters
—who oppose Col. Candler.
The Macon Telegraph* at the
time it declared that it proposed
to see fair play stated : “Col.
Candler is an honest man.”
This being true the‘•frogs” will
have to croak early, often and
continually—and then fail to
convince the rank and file of
Georgia democracy that Colonel
Candler is not an honest man.
Col. Candler is the only candi
date who was forced to use the
original manuscript in an open
in speech. This is a compliment
to the majority of the Georgia
newspapers. It is only the minor
ity that malign, maliciously
misquote and slander, making
it necessary for Col. Candler to
adopt this course in his opening
speech.
A MED'S LYE VIEW.
This war talk has stirred the i
young manhood of Rome as
nothing else could. Capt. Pat
ton, of the Light Guards, and
Capt. Stewart, of the Hill City
Cadets, tell me that all they need
now tn guarantee companies of
from 75 to 100 men. is guns and
uniforms.
* *
*
The companies now have on
ly about 80 rilles between them,
ard they are not so very modern
< ither. Should war be declared,
Rome’s volunteers would be
among the first to volunteer to
go to the front, and equipped
with the new rifles the govern
ment has ordered, the Romans
would prove equal to ten times
their number in Spanish.
* *
*
But the boys are not the only
Romans who are ready to shoul
der arms and forward march—
facing to the seaboard . I have
heard many of the old Vets talk
ing war talk lately and it would
not surprise me to hear my old
friend Grimm call for a compa
ny of the old fellows who wore
tha gray ami did much heroic
fighting under the flag of the
Confederacy more than a gener
ation ago.
»*»
1 notice by my Tennessee ex
changes that the Tennessee
troops are ready to respond to
the first call to arms, and that
governor Bob Taylor will prob
ably lead them in person.
Os course Gov. Atkinson, of
Georgia, would let the governor
of no other state lead troops to
the defense of the Georgia
seaboard ere he had taken the
field. Georgia and Georgians
know Governor Atkinson to be a
matchless warrior on the stump
and they know that General At
kinson, commander in chief of
Georgia troops, would be the
peer of any fighter the war may
produce from a nation of fight
ers. I was the first man he ap
pointed on his staff—l will not
b« the last staff-officer to report
for duty when my General calls.

Dr. J. W. Madden, the up
town dentist, showed me his old
parole yesterday. The doctor has
it neatly framed and values it
very highly. It was issued him
on April 13th 1865, at Farm

U.S. Grant and by J. B. Fair

Provost Marshal.

• From Atlanta comes th? news
that Captain J. W. English,
Judge John D. Berry, J. W. En
glish, Jr. , and Orth 11. Stein
have been indicted by the grand
jury of Fulton, for misdemean
or; Stein and young English
were indicted for carrying con
cealed pistols also. 'The entire
gang is booked for trial in Judge
John S. Candler’s court.
Spencer Atkinson has not yet
tendered his resignation.
The Macon Telegraph don’t
like Col. Candler’s speech. Why
of coir se not. Col. Candler is a
Democrat.
Brave old Allen D. Candler
did not dread the open attacks
of his honest newspaper foes,
but knowing that among the
few papers in the state that oj -
posed him there were bush
whackers who would shrink
from no dirty methods in the
warfare they v ere waging, he
fortified himself behind a manu
script speech when he opened
Ins campaign. The people know
this is true and when they see a
criticism of Col. Candler’s action
they wonder at the audacity of
the bushwhacker.

To date, we have he', al but
one paper in Georgia pronounce
Col. Candler’s opening speech
in Rome “dull and fiat.” The
Atlanta Journal says it was
“hot,” while many of the anti-
Candlerites say it was decidedly
too lively.
Judge Gus Fite of Cartersville
grows more popular with the
people cf North Georgia with the
flight of time. When such honest,
loyal, honorable im-n as Gus Fite
rub up against the peiplo the peo
ple are better —.nd so others—tor
such men as Judge Fite are cf the
people.
In making its comments on
Allen D. Candler’s opening
speech in Rome, the morning
paper takes occasion to say that
Col. Candler’s treatment to cer
tian subjects were “worthy a
plowhoy’’ The thousands of
plowboysin Georgia will remem
ber this gratuitous* fling when
on the 6th of June they go to
the ballot box.
“ Mr. Berner claims to be tin
enemy of raoiiop>iy,” said the
judge. “He swears a great, oath
that he is, and yet he fails to at
tacks the goU 'ru-r, the great
octopus which has sque zed all
prosperity out of the people. This
trust was so colossal as to silence
the silver tongue of a Carlisle and
etayjihe arm of a’C'eve'and a'd
to lay its tentacles upon 1 ndi a and
