Unresignabb Atkinson is getting

The fight that is being waged
against Col. Allen D. Candler
by the ring politicians is very
bitter. '1 he people may be assur
ed that if his record was not
clear he would be arraigned day
in and day out from one end of
the state to the other. He is a
clean man and their fangs get
no hold on him.—'Conyers
Weekly.
In his speech here Judge Atkin
son emphatically denied that he is
Berner s running-mate, an<j we are
therefore greatly surprised to learn
that he held a secret conference
with the gentleman the other night
in the office of (he Macon Tele
graph. Has the genial judge
chai ged his mind and concluded
that it would take such a combina
tion to 1 eat Candle)? Or was he
ta'king 'hrotigh his hat while here?

LYING BY THE YARD.
I
Was Mr. Maddox afraid tbst
the old democratic usage in nom
inating would defeat h'.u? Evi
dently. He felt safe but in biit two
couuiiesoul of the thirteen— their
votes would not nominate, and
cons- quently something desperate
had ’o be done to perpetuate him
self in office even at the hazard ot
the party that had honored him
and paid him in full for all he had
ever done for it. He left his post
of duty at a most critical time to
see that the thing was done. And
never protested. Then he bowed
himself out and returned. It re
mains to be seen w’hether it was a
good days work for him.—Carters
ville News.
In answer to the above we an
swer unhesitatingly. No Mr.
Meddox was not afraid. Hi simply
bowed to the unanimous wishes of
the committee as expressed in the
meeting. It was not his plan but
theirs —though, a fair and fearless
democrat he readily understood
that the move meant to place the
election where it belongs, in the
hands of the people.
It is all pretty enough for the
News to howl about John Maddox
not being sate in but two counties.
Its pretty in two ways: pretty rot
and and pretty rotten.
No man can truthfully accuse
John Maddox of resorting to ques
tionable methods in politics cr
anywhere else—the truth is Judge
Maddox is one cf the few men in
public life who has the courage of
his convictions and who always
wages war iu the open.
The statement that “he left his
post of duty at most critical time”
is as misleading as it is false. The
News knows or ought to know that
congress took a recess from Thurs
day until Monday and that John
W. Maddox was in bis seat doing
his du‘y upon both those dates.
Judge Maddox sent his family
home frem Washington on the
morning that congress adj urned
and that afternoon, finding that
he could come home for a day he
le‘t for Rome, no one being more
surprised than his wife upon his
arrival. He came to look after
private interests that wou'd have
suffered but for the unexpected
adjournment, for John W. Mad
dox has never been known to
shirk a responsibility or slight a
duty
The charge that he came home
to manipulate the committee is a
slander to both John Maddox and
to the members of the committee,
including the two Bartow county
gentlemen, and is unworthy the
man who makes it. Let the News
editor “tote fair,” above a 1 ! things
let him be honest and sling no
mud.
If he wants to do the right thing
let him publish the facts in this
case just as they are and not as h
is trying to make them appear.
The Philadelphia Record thus
refers to the row in the National
House of Representatives on
Wednesday last between Mr.
Bartlett, of Georgia, and Mr.
Brumm of Pennsylvania: ‘‘lt
remained for our stalwart Rep
resentative—Brumm, of Schuyl
kill—to precipitate disorder and
disgrace m the proceedings of
the House on Wednesday last
when the resolution for inter
vention in Cuba was under con
sideration. He called little Mr.
Bartlett, of Georgia, a liar. Mr.
Bartlett retorted by Hinging a
bound copy of the House Man
ual at his head. Nothing more
appropriate could have been
Hung; but the Georgian’s aim
i was bad. He did not hit Mr
| Brumm. A deplorable scene en
isued, which was made more de
plorable for the reason that a
matter of such momentous con
sideration. How long will the
Thirteenth congressional district
continue to make itself responsi-'
bleforMr Brumm?”

county committemen voted for it
and when it can show no member
of the committee, ct any county

to the people deciding for them
selves? It would seem so.
