MB T by "CHANCE.” jpencer and Bob Unmasked Themselves. the sharp practice „ un by The Montezuma Shown up oy Record. Under the »’ "Duplicity . »» The Americus (junked, ine Times-Recorder exposes a recent political confab thus. 1 <«The latest move of Senator Ber ner and Railroad Commis ioner Atkinson on the political chess board will be read with in terest in our news columns this morning. Democrats of Georgia, think of it! Two professed op posing gubernatorial candidates who stand on the Chicago plat form with records of shining lilverarenow consor.ed with the unreconstructed goldbug ed itor of a Republican paper in one breath, and the next a-howl ing and demanding that because of their party service and party fealty they should receive the Democratic nomination for gov- ernor. -Democrats of Georgia, how long will the game of Berner and Atkinson remain unmasked? TheTimes-Recorder claims the little game of two to one is now on. It is anything with them to beat Candler, even if they must get the Republicans and rene gades to do the job. “Allen D. Candler is a Demo crat tried and true, and no mug wump and Republican combi nation of Atkinson, Berner and Pendleton can defeat the brave old warrior. God forbid that such measures should desecrate Democratic principle in the Em pire State of the South.” NoTK THE QUALIFICATION. Taking up another phase of the matter, The Times-Record er says: “Senator Berner wails from the stump that he has ‘no influ ential morning daily to support him in his race.” How can ‘Handsome Bcb’thus stab his dear friend and political adviser, Editor Pendleton, of Macon’s Republican daily?” It will be noted, in justice to The Telegraph, that Mr. Berner used the qualifying adjective “influential.” JUST READ THIS, WILL YOU? Ihe Montezuma Record gives this little history ; Ihe Macon Telegraph has a regular correspondent at Monte zuiua - That correspondent is an educated gentleman, whose “ews items, as published in the elegiaph from time to time, are fair a »d impartial. On Sat urday, the 2nd inst., Mr. Ber- Q er delivered a speech at Mon tezuma. 1 he regular correspcn ent of Ib e Telegraph sent in a “°rt re Port of that speech to his Paper. The correspondent’s re port was received at the office of ‘'e Telegraph. The Telegraph 1 °ot publish its corrospon < nt ’ 8 report, but did publish a special report clipped from the ‘ uinns of the Atlanta Journal, ls Journal report was a Bor- De r boomer from beginning to » but it suited the fairness in t telegraph deals bet- er t iau its own correspondent’s e Port. And that is but a very m all sample of the methods The uses in getting up re e campaign news for its rsaders. 1 he J ournal special informs the public that there were a thousand people present and heard Mr. Berner’s speech. Gentlemen of undisputed verac ity who were present, and notic ed particularly, put the number of white men present at any where from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty. It is true that the speech.has been spoken of quite often since its delivery, but the whole business has been pronounced a most complete failure as a vote winner, from beginning to end. If a single pronounced Candler or Atkin son man has left the ranks and gone over to the Berner faction on account of Berner’s speech, this scribe has not heard of it, nor has he heard of any one else who has heard of such a flop over. “The Telegraph, we believe, should give the news reports of its own reliable correspondents the preference over clippings, on the same subject , from another paper. “It is only n few’ days since that The Telegraph, editorially stated that it could not be held responsible for the political bias of its out-of-town correspondents. The rule does not seem to work satisfactorily when dealing with its Montezuma correspondent, and explanations are in order.” The need of a good Spring Medicine is almost universal and Hood’s Sarsaparilla exactly meets this need.
