The Hustler-Commercial b the only afternoon paper in Northwest Georgia. It has tin combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial and is THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF The City of Rome The City Marshal The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, The 11 usti. e r-C ommerc ia i has the confidence of the classes and the masses —because it mer its and deserves the confident of all its readers. Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber. Colorado’s regiment of wom en have not yet joined the colors. That Spanish armistice is about as thin as Hanna’s patriot ism, Hanna is fernent war. Mark is the standard of “Buckeye po litical honor.” No method is too nefarious for some people to employ against brave old Allen D. Can • dler. Olney’s idea : Negroes and Whitefolks go to Cuba.

S. ex cursion rate announcements for for Chicamauga park—and don’t fail to go at the first opportuni ty- The real war horses are clos ing in on Chicamauga Park. Some GOOD cavalrymen and their mounts will be in the Park in a few davs. If Lee is made a general the yankees can send on the goods they sold Uncle Sam for those; $50,000,000. The south will fur- V flk wish the soldiers—as usual, 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.

For the sake of humanity and the national vindication, let us first see by debate whether there be a peaceful solution.— New York Herald. 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 one for Candler against the field. —Dawson News. The patriotic East is already getting in its work on the $50,- 000,000 war appropriation.

There is no doubt about May or Seay ai d all ten of his aider men. “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?
