Now is the time to tell your

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
The action of the congression
al executive committee in refer
ence to the plan adopted by
them for selecting the nominee
for congress seems to have given
some of the candidates for con
gress a bad attack of billions
colic.
Through their newspaper
backers they are pouring out the
vials of their wrath upon what
they call the Floyd County Ring,
because the executive committee,
without consulting any of these
candidates saw fit to order a
democratic primary for congress
man, and further saw fit to or
der that primary to be so held
and conducted in such a manner
that the candidate receiving the
highest democratic vote in the
district should be the democratic
nominee.
As a matter of fact Floyd
county had no more to do with
the passage of those resolutions
than any other county ; and why
they should be called the work
of the Floyd county delegation
is beyond comprehension . T hey
were not introduced by any
Floyd county delegate. The
question as to the manner of con
solidating the vote was not ar
gued by any Floyd county dele
gate either for the method stated
in the resolution or against that
method. The resolutions were
read publicly, in the hearing of
every delegate, twice ; once by
Judge Bellah, of Chattooga, who
introduced them, and again by-
Mr. Copeland, of Walker, and,
after that, Mr. Bunn, of Polk,
raised the question as to the ex
act meaning of that portion
which referred to the consolida
tion of the total vcte, and the
chairman, Mr. Neel, explained
to him, in the hearing of every
lelegate, that he should presume
hat the resolution meant exact
ly whatitsaid in that particular.
This language was plain, com
mon, every-day E glish, easily
understood when the vote was
taken There was not a dissent
n g vote, not a single objection
raised oy any delegate to that por
tion of the resolutions. If Bar
tow was not satisfied, her two
representatives Messrs. Lumpkin
and Connor had an opportunity tn
object but did not. and so with
Walker, represented by Mr. Cope
iand, Mr Hutchens, the candidate
trpm Haralson, was in Rome at
the tune, and Haralson was ably
represented by Mr. Head, but no
object on was raised by him. Hard
ly was ♦ here ever held a more har
monious meeting of the executive
committee.
And, besides, what is the matte)
with the action of the committer
anyway? Is’nt this man who gets
be most votes entitled to the nom
ination? If he is not, then who is?
T e man who gets the least votes?
Haven’t the people got a right to
say for themselves who they want
to nominate? It is much to be
feared that some of these candi
dates and kickers are unwilling to
'rust th" matter to the people, but
prefer to base their hopes upon
the possibility of trafficking, trad
ing and “combinationing’ - in a
convention. Away with such
methods ! Give the honest demo
crats a chance this time to say
who they want, and let the best
win, and if you cant win that way
you ought not to win .
Editor Gus Morrow, of the
Jonesboro Enterprise, wants to
know “what’s the matter with
Berner and Atkinson enlisting
for war in defense of their coun
try’s honor now? They are both
young and valiant and seem so
sorry that they had no part in
the last war. Go forth at the
first call to arms, gentlemen!”
At the present writing the re
publican party seems to be di
vided into camps of pacificos,
reconcentrados and politicastros,
with Steve Elkins and Mark
Hanna as intransigentes.

The Candler riien have drawn
first blood. Although the state
committee has called the guber
natorial primaries for June 6i.h,
down in Butts county the anti-
Candler men last Wednesday
introduced a resolution to en
dorse Berner at a mass meeting
called to elect a new executive
committee. The effort to take
“snap” judgement was voted
down by over two to one, the
crowd being for Candler at that
ratio. They could easily’ have
voted to endorse Candler, but
the Candler men are “agin” the
methods of 1894 from principle.
This is a great blow to Berner.
Butts adjoins his own county,
and has been claimed by him.
'They say Butts is safely two to

“AMAZIN GRACE!”
Judge Atkinson goes to the
people of Geoi’gia with a clean,
clear cut declaration of princi
ples, unsullied by motives of
self-aggrandizement, free from
political claptrap, and with the
interistof the common people
in view. Brunswick Call.
Do tell ! The Call, whose pu
rity in politics is never ques
tioned, a paper so pure that it
wouldn’t km»w a claptrap if it
were to meet it in its counting
room or on “The Acre,” tells us
that Kailroad Commissioner At
kinson has cnly the interests of
the “common people” in view.
Surely Glynn county has no
common people—Spencer says
there are no common people in
Georgia, and who, besides Spen
cer, hath a right to enter a dis
senting opinion? Surely no man
in Georgia. Not even the enter
prising hero worshiper of the
Call would dare go up against
Spencer’s declaration.
As mudslinger, Railroad Com
missioner Atkinson will measure
mudholes and flinging ability
with the experts—and never re
sign, either.
McKinly should loose no time
in apologizing to Spain for ob
structing Havana harbor with
one of our old battleships and a
lot of dead yankees.
Senator Elkins says : “If we
can hold congress for two days,
we’ve got ’em licked.” The “we”
in this case means Spain, Hanna,
Elkins and —but why name ’em
all?
Some of the rankest politics
on earth has broken out in Glynn
county. Judge Atkinson as a
mud-slinger does credit even to
the Brunswick political insti
tute.
The negro says war means
death to the black soldier be
cause : “Es dai putts us in frunt
de Spanyerds ’ill shoot us an’
es dai putts us in de rear de win’
folks ’ll trample ns ter def.”
Spain owes a public debt
amounting to $73 per capita;
France’s debt reaches sll6 a
head ; Great Britain SB7 ; Italy
$76 a head; Austria S7O ; Russia
S3O per capita; Turkey $37 ;
United States sl6. Germany is
practically out of debt.
Spencer calls his “venerable
friend from Hall,” a “political
foundling” and now your Uncle
J Allen is licking the railroad
commissioner off the face of the
earth. Too bad to be defeated
by a man whom the Capital City
Club candidate regards as so low
and contemptible—but then,
Spencer will have the dissatis
faction of discovering the com
mon people of Georgia.
Judge Atkinson believes in
reducing the tax rate by increas
ing the value of our property.
He thinks, with the balance of
the common people in Georgia,
that it would never do to reduce
the pension appropriation to the
old soldiers and, etc. — Bruns
wick Call.
Oh me ! Oh my ! “He thinks,
with the balance of the common
people”—and this, too, from the
editorial columns of his onliest
enthusiastic home organ II asn’t
the Call co mmitted the unpar
donable sin against its “Capital
City Club Candidate?” The Un
resignable Railroad Commis
sioner swears by all that is im
pure in political methods of his
gang that there are no “common
people” in Georgia. Oh me! Oh
my ! But won’t Spencer rebuke
the over zealous editor of the
Call?
