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.’’ edo not know’ to what ex tent the Bf-wapapers voice the opinions and preferences of the W A. RHUDY. Furniture and Undertaking, Carpets and Matting. Kincaid corner. 337, broadst. 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 “ ■■■■■■ ■■Kiaabi DONE THE CONDUCTOR. HOW A CHATTOO<SAN WtfijLD RETURN OOOD for miL.
