AGAINST JOINT DEBATES.
The Istimaelit* dons not look
with favor upon joint debates be
tween candidates of th) sane
party. .Between the candidates of
opposing parties there would be
more reason for them; but, even
where the candidates are of nut g
ouistic parties. the reason
against them m excited political
campaign, outweight the consid
erations in their favor. 4 he voters ,
of the 10th district have had the i
most realistic demonstration of
this truth.
Between candidates of the same <
party, the reasons are even mere <
conclusive. The Ishrnaelite knows i
ot no instance in which such d<- ;
bates have failed to arouse bitter
ness and strife. Little as it may
be conjectured, some of the per
sonal antagonisms born of the
joint deba’ee between Bacon and
Gordon years ago, are 9.i1l alive
and rankling. 1
The candidates for Governor i
on the Democratic ticket are
mainly agreed on matters of
State policy. They are entirely
agreed in the matter ot lojalty to
the Chicago platform. The State I
convention will fix the p'atform <
on which the successful candidate i
w ill have to stand, regardless of
his views on any given question. I
What issues are there, then, for
debate, except such as are of a
mere personal cast? The Ishmae- 1
lite can see nene. <
This being true, such meetings 1
would necessarily degenerate into <
a contest of personalism, in which <
insinuate n and recrimination |
would infallibly appear. The bit- 1
ter contention would be taken up 1
by the followers of the respective
candidates, and the peace and un -
ity of the party would be sorely 1
impaired. That has been the histo- 1
ry of these joint debates in the
past. It will be the history of them
in ’he future.
If any of the candidates wish to
speak to the people, there is no
reason why he should not do so,
but it is the part of wisdom that
the joint debate should be elimin
ated from the campaign. That is
the way the matter presents itself
t > the Ishrnaelite. To it the reasons
given are conclusive of the impol
icy of joint debates.—Sparta Ish
maelite.

Io all seriousness, the Rome
Tribune asks editoriady “Is not
that a cool dispassionate letter
from Judge Spencer Atkinson in
the reply to Col. Candler?’’ and
in its “scare hea i“ on the first
page, says, “This u a red hot i
letter to Candler. ” That is con- i
sistency, about as much us you I
could expect from one of the trio t
of political weather vanes who <
never know just exactly where i
they stand from one political (
breeze to another. —Americus Her
ald. ! a
A DECEPTION.
The Mac<>n Telegiaph, a paper
that takes neither candidate’s
part in the race, has this to say
of Colonel Candler’s refusal to
i.eet his < pponents, and the stat) -
ment that hr is “personalty
anxious to do so.”—Columbia
Ei quirtr sun.
An Atkinson organ introduces
a i editorial f-otn the Macon Tele
graph with the ahov- introduction
as show ing what a “neutral” paper
thinks, etc.
Dhs only shows what a d'shon
est fight 's being made on the
champion of pure politics and
hi d honest methods In the first
place, the Enquirer-Sun knows as
well as it knows anything that the
Macon Telegraph is not “neutral”
but in fighting Candler for all it is
worth. It know®, too, that the
Tebgr: ph. being in bad order poli
tically. d> re not espouse Atkin
son’s cause openly, lest it do him
more harm fau good, so that in
pretrndn g to be neutral, and at
the same time hitting Candler and
boosting Atkinson at every op
portunity, it is really giving At
kinson the only sort of support it
car give him or that h.i can afford
to accept.
It is true for newspapers would
be willing to adopt these bush
whacking methods, but the Tele
graph is to some extent excusable
on the ground that this is the
only part it could possibly take in
a Democratic campaign. It is not
excusable, h wever, for the En
quirer-Sun to try to deceive the
people as to the Telegraph's atti
tude. It knows, of course, that to
say the feiegraph is “neutral”
will give its utterances some
weight,— which they would not
otherwise have—but is the En-
willing to resort to
such deception?
Why, even the Rome Tribune,
as unscrupulous as it has been
during this campaign, has iwt
gone so far . The Tribune has re
peatedly admitted that Mr. At
kinson has the Telegraph's support
and han placed it in the column of
Atkins n organs.
It. is all right for the Enquirer-
Sun to reproduce from the Tele
graph as much abuse of Candler —
and of Bryan too, if it likes —and
as much praise of Atkinson as it
may desire, but it ehou’d, at least
be honest enough with its readers
to tell them that the Telegraph is
not “neutral”—although it pre
tends to be. And for further proof
us it the Enquirer-Sun can refer
to the Telegraph’s statement to
the contrary. —Macen News.
VESSELS DESTROYED DUR-
ING OUR CIVIL WAR.
As the United States is now
likely to engage in a naval war,
it may be interesting to note
the casualties to naval vessels
during our la'e Civil War.
The fellow ing official statement
is taken from the “Army and Na
vy Journal” published at New
York.
“During the Civil War the Hat- I
teras was sunk by the Alabama,
the Keokuk went down in the
battle of Charleston, S, C. the
Mississippi was destroyed at Port
Hudson, the Iren side was burned
at League Island, and Peterhof
sank in a coliisaion, the South
field w’tts sunk by a rebel ram and
Switzerland by Confederate bat
teries, the Tuup blew up. Thirty
eight, United States vessels were
blown up by mines during the war
and six by various forms of torpe
does. Amcng these vessels were
the Althea, Biron de Kdb, Ciir >,
Commodore Jones Harvest Moon,
Housatonic, Ida, Milwaukee, Nar
cissus, Os ges, Otsego, Pa'asco,
Rudolph, Sciota, monitor Tecum
seh.”
Senator Puil Cook is gaining
strength f< r the position of Secre
tary of State. Mr. Cook is a
brainey young man, fully equipp
ed for the position he seeks and
without n flection upon his oppo- '
nents we believe the people of
Georgia will make no mistake if *
ele.it him. —Greensboro H«i- 1
