The Court of Injury has been heard from—what Dex’? ■ ■ Mr, Billy McKinley has an abiding faith in Spain's “making the necessary reparation.” Show us tl’ie man who hit Billy Patterson and we will show you an ex-ray photo of Billy Mekinley’s “splendid’ backbone. A wild youth and a wild flora are alike in that th ej will bt alike—when both go broke. Its really a question of time. The St. Paul Globa says Uncle Sain seems to have forgotten that he intended to take a Sandwhicb before he indulged in Havana. It is predicted that Candler will carry Floyd.—Augusta Chronicle. If Col. Candler lias any real oposition here, it remains for it yet to show its head. “Bob, Beautiful Bob” —“The ajax whc thundered along the wavering lines of dmiocracy and “snatching the colors led on the victory &c etc.” Why dviit Bob tackle Spencer on the stump?

Romans love Judge Joel Bran ham, a learned lawyer and gen ial citizen, a man whose heart < beats warm for all things good. May he live a thousand years and his powers of throwing sun shine into the lives of others continue to rival old Sol himself. 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 ville, Va., by older of Lt. Gen. U.S. Grant and by J. B. Fair banks, Captain and Assistant 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.

Why is it necce j si. ry that these champions most ha e their “ven erable friend fr< m Ilall” or. tl h stump at tlu same t:in- and piece 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 the United Stales.”- -Extract from speech of Spencer R.
