It would be a glorious thing for Rome, could she begin the levee and give her unemployed _w«rk. Before another lot of macadam is put on Broad Street, that thourough fare should be elevated to the grade. Democrats, who play the absent e„ racket, should be declared exerters and shot with cowpeas and salt. If the Hubtlrr of Rome insinuates a reflection and it fits, and you want it, why take it and welcome. Let the chain gang while quarter ed in the city elevate Broad Street to the grade before they put a cart of stone on it. The Third party is a dead duck in the pit—out of 2250,000 votes polled in Chicago in the last election, only 367 went io the calamity howlers. Its indeed wearysome, waiting for the Eastern Democrats to got to their seats, and go to voting bv the platform pledges.

Rome has a cotton Factory rail ing on full time, and paying hand some dividends. Why cant we have another? ——•••• ... V, t comes to pensioned patri ots and hard times, the South is not in it with thsMeKinley cursed North, East and West. When the Journal and Constitu tion get thick enough to gleap on the • same pallet it is time for everything outside of Fulton County to get sus picious. You dout find Seab Wright, Tom Wats.'u, or any of that gang, ad vocating W, Y. Atkinson.—They remember ‘92 and th« avalanche of democracy 80.000 strong. At.the recent irrigation fconveu tion at North* Platte, there were four milk men among the dele gates. As usual they needed water uid meant business. When Moerlein, the Cincinnatti brewer died, orfe of the Cincianatti papers had the headline “Thousands To-day Are Standing Around Hie Beir. ” The question now is, what will Hon. Seaborn Wright do with his own platform when he leaps from its gloom onto that of Evans, Atkinson Maddox «tal? The Augusta papers remeoiber the defeat of Bill FlenimiMg--the man who talks—and they fight Atkinson. History will repeat its self far the people are with the unterified young Democrat. Talk about Atkinson getting on Generaf Evans’ platform—why bless your soul, while the General was elsewhere in 1892-Our man Atkin - son was fighting all over that plat form . He got on it then and after helping to defend it, he camped on it. “He is a democrat right.’’ If Rome ever needed anything she needs a Board of Trade thst would have too much sense to en dorse a man like “Lord” Beresford —a wide awake practiele set of business men, who would fire in on the Emt Tennessee and Central roads, and make them give ub a paseeuger schedule. m.*. The papers that nominate Gen eral Evans, and then demand that t he nominations close, are sore. To them any fight, made on their man is despicable. They put their man in the ring and if he has not train ed sufficiently to meet the galient i young Atkinson, let them throw up the sponge and clear the ropeß. ■ Democracv demands something more than a war record. THEY DBEAD ATKINSON. And now, even in Augusta, Gener } al Evans’ stronghold, his papers are growing desperate. Here is a passage from the Augusta News: “JLet every man, young and old, appoint himself a comuoittee of one, and chairman o. that commettee with [• power to act, and work hard, work unceasingly to rout this opposition and urge the masses to cast their [ vote for the bravest, the noblest, the i purest man in the State of Georgia. General Clement A . Evans.” The above is significant, when it i s remembered that only a few d’ys apo the News was declareing General Evans had a “walk over.” The News should cast an eye around and en quire into the whyness of Tom Wat sou’s endorsement of Evans. Surely if Evans had fought the little dema gogic e in ’92 he would not have for given so easily. ORGANIZING THE STATE ' We note the fact that the young democrats of Atlanta have formed a central Evans club and appointed a central Evans committee whose duty it shall be to organize Evans clubs all over Georgia. This is Atlanta's way. She goes it whole hog or none. She nomi nates her candidates for governor, her two papers like the lion and the lamb lie down together, and her young demdcrats propose to organ ize the State for Evans. They vainly hope to elect him gov ernor and then boast that they did the werk. This will hardly pan out, It strikes our mind that Atlanta or ganized a central Hill club in 18 )2 and appointed a central Hill commit ee with the duty up >n it to organize the State for Hill. But the state didn’t organize, and history repeats itself. Atlanta is a big city and a pride of the state, but her politicians have fallen upon the idea that Georgia belongs to thea politically, and the people dont be lieve it worth a cent.

It will not do for those who think they know it all, to air it before Speaker Crisp—Augusta News ABOUT OUR NEXT GOVERNOR Some of our est**' . «d contempo- j rariea, which » month* ago, were parading Col. Bill Atkinson before the people and lauding his public aervice, are now trying to relegate the Coweta statesman to tbs ebßcure roar, and are regard ing his late public services through the big end of the political tele-j scope.

The Georgia weekly press is go ing to take an active part in the political campaign next year Tuey are already taking sides n tne gubernatorial race, aud they are not all on one side either. — Columbus Enquirer Suu. In the person of W. Y. Atkinson the State has a true aud able de fender of Democracy, and the Banner believes that it voices the sentiment es wiregrass G-orgia, when it says thst Mr. Atkinsos is the choice of South Georgia. His services during the Presidential campaign endeared him to our’pe - pie, aud a host of supporters hen will gather around bis standard He is a bright, learned aud elo quent statesman, let ue rally to hia support for the next Governor oi Georgia.—Wilcox Counry Banner. As between Evans aud Atkinson w« think the latter has the besi claim upon the office. If Geu Evans ever had any political ex perience or accomplished any feat save that of a Confederate briga dier we have never heard of it. On the other hand Atkinson, though a yeung man, hse stamped him self as a man of brilliant part.- and has rendered signal service t<< the Democracy of the State. Wifi a legislative experience of several years he is better fitted for the du ties of chief execu ive of this great State, it strikes us, than a man whose business has kept him ou 1 of the field of politics.—Cordele Cordelian.
