i'HE HUSTLER OF ROME.
THIRD year.
The Macon Telegraph Hits
The Constitution
A deserved rebuke
At Least H“ lf th « P “P m of Ge ° r
r ia»refor the Fighting Democrat
papite the Slick Boom Work cf
Atlanta.
The Constitution quotes the
following from the Bueua Vista
Patriot:
“It does seem that Mr • Atkinson,
in the face of the great tidal wave
all over the state tor General Ev
aoß, would not at this time a'tempt
the race for governor.
It would be decoded Sy better for
him to come out as gracefully as
poseiable and ;avcrt theJWaterloo
that is awaiting him. ’
Following the quotation is near
ly a column editorial betfiniug in
this strain:
“This sugges'ion on which Mr.
Atkinson should act favorably.
Genera!Evans is id' but nomina:-
ed now."
And after a lot-of such rot clvc
iugjwith this paragraph:
“Our Buna Vista contemporary
gives seasonable and sound advice
which we trust Mr. 'Atkinson wil
accept, and we endorse the views,
of The Patriot in the kindles! spir
it. There rs no issue involved it
!hedenw«rtticnomiuaiio® between
Mr. Atkinson and General Evairs,
both of whom he**tily endorse
every pledge of the ctemocrettic
platform.
Mr. Atkinson cwu de the gra’se
fulthiag by withdrawing in ‘Gen
eral Evans's favor, and it is*our
friendly advice that ho do so. He
can thereby himself
and do his party good service'.* 4
This is not the licet “friendly
advice** the Constitution has’tend
ered Mr. Atkiu-eon—we remember
on various other oomeione 'how it
wept on hie shoulder and hc.lked
to|him about one of Atlanta's Pets
the soldiers fe&mt edheme.
But to the entire article in the
Constitution, tbe M.sccu Telegraph
makes the following dignified and
complete reply:
“The Telegraph.‘taring tba last
few weeks, bar taken the tvduble
to keep a record of like expreedion
of opinion b* the wepapew of
Georgia on the question of who
shall be tbe g , ; , • o f 'hi e
b;ate—Gen. Evans os Mr. Atkin
son. According to the record near
ly 120Ge<jrgia papers have express
ed their preference, and the dirts
ion between the two gentlemen is
almost exactly even, the one iti
the lead hav ng a majority of <hss
than five.’’

tent the Bf-wapapers voice the
opinions and preferences of the

ROME GEORGIA,
people of the State in this matter,
but believe that they generally re
flect them fully and accurately.
This is particularly true of the
county newspapers, whose editors
are in close touch with the people
and are almost without exception
shrewd, closely observant men Nq*
body will question '.heir honesty,
and it is natural that they share
the sentiments and ideas of the
people among whom they live and
by whose patronage their business
is supported.”
We know of no reason why they
do not now, as heretofore, voice th*
preferences of their pe pie. If they
afe equally divided between Mr.
Atkinson and Gee. Evans, we un
derstand that to mean that, in all
probability, the people are also di
vided in about the same propor
tion.”
‘ In view of this attitude of the
Georgia press, the advice of the
Atlanta Constitution, in its i sie
of yesterday, to Mr. Atkinson, that'
he withdraw from the race, and its
statement that “Gen. Evans is all
but nominated now,“ are absurd,
if intended to be taken wethJts’y.
There h is no good reason why Mr
Atkirrson should withdraw. He
has astrong support in all parts o!
the State, and represents the
working force of the Bcmocratic
party “
