There is not a paper in Georgia
which, to date, has said anything “os
tracising Coafederate soldiers. ” The
editors of Georgia never thought o*
such a thing. Many of the papers
however have been fearless enough,
however to say that as deaiocrata,
they oppose a man who hae nothing
to show for 30 years bui a war re
cord. To this manly and fearless
stand the Brunswick Tin 03 Adver
tiser says:
There is ao room in Georgia for a
sentiment that proposes to osh arise
ex-Confederate soldiers from office
holding.

Atlanta wants the earth. If there is
a new institution of anytkind to be
established, Atlanta wants it, if a
convention or meeting of
any kind is to be held, Atlanta wants
it; if a fair or an exposition is to be
held, Atlanta wants it regardless of
the rights or claims of others; if a
United States Senator is to be elect
ed, they want him; if another one is
to lie elected, they want him ; when
the time of the present one expires,
they want to fill the places; if a gov
ernor is to bo elected, they want to
furnish the man. They want the
earth polished up bright with a jas

In the Redwine trial now going on
in Atlanta, the effort of Capt. Marry
Jackson to shield the name of his
dead son, Tom Cobb Jackson was
most natural, Tho evidence showed
that Tom Cobb Jackson, at the time
of the snieide, waa only 24 and that
Redwine was 33. CapV Jackson
would load the pnblic to believe that
Redwine lod his boy astray, and yet
the evidence showed that es $103,000
shortage at the Gate City National
bank Tom Cobb Jaekson get about
$90,000 through Red wino. Why
should Redwine furnish that much
money to lead any man astray?
Governor Atkinson and General
Evans will live en the same street
next year. This ought to be con
soling 10 General Evans, who
eomes out of the gloom of thirty
years inactivity in the democratic
party and wants to hug Mr. Atkin
son all over his platform. Atkinson
will make General Evans a right
respectable neighbor and, serious
ly speaking, will help the genera
to tone up Peachtree Street, purty
considerable, in a moral way.
THE GO VIRNRRSHIP
We have not a word to r»y
against General Evans as a man ;
we have not a word to say againn:
him as a eoldier. As a man he ha<*
been honored in the grand call he
has aerved ao well ; as a ssldier he
was h mored for services and his
bravery. We do Bay, however, that
General Evans has done nothing
for his people and his State in u
political way that entitles him to
come is and ask for the highest
position within the gift of the peo
ple. General Gordon has been
honored ; General Colquit has been
honored and other brave sjldiers
have been honored. Why? Look
over the political history of Geor
gia for the last thirty years and
you will find their names conspic
uous for noble work done while
the name of General Evans is
conspicuous by its absence. Take
the campaign of 1892; call ever
the names es those who wore in
the battle fighting for home aad
country as never men fought be
fore and tell us where the name
of Evans appears. You can And
the name of Gordon ; you can find
the name of Bacon; you can find
the name of Robertson, you can
find the name of Clay, Atkinson,
James and hundreds of other Ceor
gianp, but the name of Evans,
never
Now that the fight is woe the
name of Evans appears all over
the State asking that the men who
saved Georgia from political ruin
ho relegated to the rear and that
he be made governor.
We are of those who believe
that the horse should have the
fodder that pulls the plough.
General Evans is not entitled to
the governorship of Georgia.—
