He ‘ Reasons” for Loring the Covfederatrs and «a.V s AHunta has Atlanta Reasons for Oppoaiug his Candidafy- Tbe Gubernatorial campaign is CD in dead earnest. This mornings Corftuticu publi.be. h .O.lOT’- ing extracts and synopsis of the speech: ‘•Mr fellow citizens: lam here to discuss with you today the is sues of the gubernatorial cam paign. Issues they are which Scon you are to adjust, in your minds and decide upon to your satisfac tion as a tax payer, a voter, a citi zen of Georgia. “H 're in the verv outse L , I want to say to you. that I intend to con duct this campaign for my part in a spirit of frankness and fairness; to speak to the people of Georgia in the language of plainness, of soberness and of truth. I feel that it is proper for me to pay that it is not in accord with my judgement that the campaign is opened so early in the year. I have thought, and I still think, that it were better for the parry to have delayed the campaign fora few mouths in order that we might ascertain just what congress is go ing to do in th® fulfillment of its duties to the party outlined iu the platform we worked so hard to es tablish. ■“Theanatter, however, was not left to me. Having given to my competitor in this race several months the advantage in starting the organisation of his campaign. I have at last named the date for my canvass to begin and come to you to day for the first formal dis cussion of the aampaign and its issues? Just at this point Judge Hunt interrupted Colonel Atkinson to allow the jury to report a verdict. It was not long before he resumed, however, and with more life than before. He continued : “Not many years ago the repub lican party had nothing to do but wave the bloody shirt throughout. this country and victory was theirs in all ections. But the time for th .A God, is at an end The dangers of today are pa ternalism on the one side and so cialism on the other. War issues have died, just as the roar of ar tillery and the s noke of battle have died away, and p 'ace, like (he balm of Gilead, reigns throughout he confines of our common coun try. In the halls of national legis lation, me i from the North have met men from the S >uth us friends W« A. RHUDY. Furniture and Undertaking, Carpetsand Matting CORNER. 337, BROAD ST. ROME GEORGIA. and brothers in battles upon po litical issues. Let nothing transpire that would give ns a backward tendency. But, as I have just said, in this cam paign there shall be m harshness from me - I have no animosity, n ill feeling in my heart for my dis tinguished competitor. He is r Christian gentleman, and even ii there might be cause for hard feel ing, his life, as a worthy minister of the gospel, would prevent my saying anything, even under the heat of debate, that would in the slightest way reflect upon his good name.” He s iid, while he differed with the president in his conception of the platform, and thought Mr Cleveland had fallen into error he would differ without denounc ing m this campaign. He said he thought Grover Cleveland one of the most gifted, courageous and solid men in the democratic party, whereupon a ripple of applause went over the gathering. “But,’’said Mr. Atkinson, lifting his voice, “there shall be no ‘ad ministration’ and no ‘anti-admiii istrtaion’ feature to this campaign, if I can prevent it. Losing sight of the administration, I myself stands quarely upon the democrat ic platform, state and national. Let us, as democrats and as Geor gians, continue to demand whst the> platform adopted by the people calls for, whatever the administra tion may do. It is within the power of the government to do much.but - not all, 1 I have no patience with the man who teDs us that the government has nothing to do with the financi al depression that is sweeping over . the face of this couatry. I have no. patience with the man who say* it remains for you and me alo. e to make ourselves rich. The gov ernment cannot make us rich, but it can place such conditions around us as will make it impossible for us to get rich, however hard we strive. “If government cannot give us redress for our wrongs ; if it can not give us Jaws that will take no tribute from us, the yaomanry will give to the rich ;if it cannot defend the wage-earner and the poor man against the encroachments of the rmh,wbo are piling up their wealth as the seasons come and go—if it cannot do ail this, and if it woiA do a’l this for us, then we might as well herald the inaugurations of our presidents from time to time I as the coming of a king [ Applause] Here the speaker told how he had gone before the people ol Georgia in the last national cam paign and preached the dectr ne of equal rights to ail and special privileges to none; how he had assured the people of Georgia that if they would trust, the democratic party this time they wou'd get all the relief they wanted, and gt t it a vast deal sooner than they cculd ; through any oth ;, r party. What he said to them then he, was here to say to them now. He! believed that the only route tn tt e ! full accomplishment of this pm- ( pose was to put the democratic) party in pow»r and at the head >f . it such men as will carry out the policies of the party as outlined j in the platform. ‘I am iu favor of an income I tax,” said the speaker. “I believe that the rich ought to be taxed to get proper support cf that govern ment which protects them in their possessions, just as the poor are taxed, and even more so. I believe that the salaries of the rich ought s o bear taxation. While we in reorg.a are on the ragged edge ol I poverty and despair the rich are hoarding up their treasures and getting richer as the days go by. 1 cannot see how we have tolerated it as long as we have. What is it but giving the power of control of the nation’s currency to the rich, who contract it and expend it at > wi I, all the time making them selves richer and making us the poorer. FAVORED STATE BASKS. “This leads me to say that I think that the government ought to give us state banks of issue. These would give ns that counteraction that we need. It would place the banks in power in al) of the several states to expand the volume of currency asThe emergency may justify and would give the people of the south more currency at a time wheb they needed it most. Take for instance last yea > when the currency was so short in the south, and indeed, all over the coun try, that we had to get the local banks to issue clearing house certifi cates. AND FREE SILVER, TOO. “From the day that war was decl ar ed on silver for gold a great wrong has been done the common people. With the value of our national money restricted to gold, the value < f your products will be restricted. ” Here the speaker read from the platform, and showed how firmly the democratic party, both in the state national convention and the state cod vention of Georgia, had come out squarly for the coinage of the two metals on a parity. He made astrong argument for the free coinage ol silver. “Let us return to the doctrines of our forefathers,” said the speaker. “Let us make silver a definite money once and for all, and then no mu. will be wronged or robbed.” | Much applause.] “I would like to see us have an international conference on this mea. u.e, but that is a e mdition too re mote to be hoped for. It is not worth ths while for us to be waiting to see what the monarchies of Europe are going to do along this line. Let us a t for ourselves just as we acted when our forefathers got themselves Continued on second column of third page. FRIDAY EVENING FEBRUARY. 9. 1894. A B.McARVER&Co.
