I and Son:

■ cal reporter was stopping a mmuei.t <
i to take in a sears subscription to the
Weekly News and Sun, fi m J E
' Johnston, a stuidy Atkinson of a vet
i eran from Hollonville; it wil be a
crying shame and a disgrace to Geor
1 gia if they dout elect Will Atkinson
to the governorship this year.
He has gone ahead and done every
t ling that could be d me for the
party.—devoted his tim r , Lis talents,
his influence and his money to the
cause as no otl er man wo il<*—mil
now for them to pick up a man who
has no claim whatever and try to
beat him—it makes me hot to think
about it !
I tell you, Atkinson spent hun
dreds of dollors of his own money
—he had nobody else to draw on
—to accomplish the victory of two
years ago, and is just about broke
today on account of it, and what
did Evans ever do? If they beat
Atkinson, it will be an invitation
to anybody that wants honors at
the hands of the party to do as lit
tle as possible to deserve them and
they may come to him.
Atkinson would make as good a
governor as the State ever had, to ».
I have followed his course ever
since I plowed beside him as a boy
and he makes a straight furrow
very time. He ought to be govern
er, and he will be if the Democrats
don’t go back on the best Demo
crat in tbe State,”
To none of this could the Politi
cal Reporter dissent, but it was
not in the line of his mission. Pro
ceeding further he was stopped by
a member of the Confederate Sur
vivor’s Ascociation, who wanted

AS 10 SENATOR
An enterprising Atlanta corres
’ pondent has discovered that Sen
' ator Colquitt is “unquestionably
the strongest man b fore the peo
ple of Georgia today and that if
1 he is physically able to hold the
1 office (of senator) there is every
indication that he will succeed
himself.”
Wonder where the youug chap
got his information?
We doubt that Senator Co’quitt
1 is even a moderately strong man
’ with the people of Georgia, at
this time. He is certainly unpop
ular in almost every section of the
State, if we judge by expressions
> of tne press and the people who
have openly declared themselves
as against him.
i Senator Colquitt is regarded rs
a back number by those who have
closely followed the courses if
political affairs during the past
few years We believe he has lost
his halleluiah lick. And thtri is
abundant evidence in support of
this proposition.
It is not our purpose to arramge
Senator Colquitt. But we are wil
ing to back our judgement
against that of the Atlanta corres
pondent, who, by the way, offers
nothing in support of his conclu
sions concerning the senior sena
tor.
Senator Colquitt may or may
n >t be a candidate to succeed him

we think he will be left, unless

ATKINSON’S RECORD.
The Evans organs are exercis
ing themselves greatly in an if
foit to make their readers believe
that their favorite for guberuato
r.al honors is backed by a “popular
uprising.”
This “uprising” connot ex e .d
beyond the editoral sanctum of
the papers supporting the general,
in view of the statements made by
Hon. Allen Candler and other we'l
known public men closely in touch
with the people. They fail to find
any spontaneous enthusiasm for
Gen. Evans among the voters, and
unite in saying that Mr. Atkinson
has many more friends than his
opponents will admit.
The effort to injure Mr, Atkin
son by holding him up as au ene
my of the university and confed
erate veterans ou account of bis
actions in the legislature will net
accomplished the end sought by
the Evansites.
Mr. Atkinson voted against the
university in behalf of the com
mon schools—the schools that ed
ucate the children of all the peo
ple—and he has nothing to fed
aihamed of in that vote. He be
lieves in helping the university
except where it interferes with the
rights of the common people.
His vote against the soldiers
home was actuated by the best mo
tives. Mr. Atkinson lovr-s the old
veterans teo well to want to see
them stand in the attitude Os pau
pers to further an Atlanta scheme.
He announces himself readv to
help aid the veterans in their re
spective home?, humble ’'hough
they might be, but said he would
never vote to consign them ton poor
bouse Instead of feeling angry at
Mr. Atkinson the veterans should
honor him for bis position.
Mr. Atkinson’s enemies must
try other tactics besides attactiug
his record as a legislator It is on
*nat, will bear the most searching
i ivestigation, and will always re
flect credit ou the young states
man.
His canvass for governorihip is
on the line with the people’s ideas
and the probability i 8 the Evans
ites will find the “popular up
rising” in favor of the speaker
when the convention meets next
summer.—Savannah Dispatch.
