THE ATLANTA MUD SLINGER.
“Mr. Atkii son urges but two i. -
guuients against General Evans, the .
one is that be has served Lis country,
and the other is that he bus serve J!
his God ”
The above is a specimen from the
Evans Club Campaign paper of At
lanta, And a beautiful specimen it is
too.
From start to finish it smacks of
Atlanta unscrapnb.usness —as it bad
ly slanders the go->d name of o of
Georgia’s noblest and most patriotic
sons.
Mr. Atkinson has never at any
time used such an argument against
the ‘ Atlanta candidate,’ and un'ili
the writer of that paragraph states
the time and place and names other
than himself who heard said argu
ment fall from the lips of the gallant
young statesman, or produces the
original from his fearless pen, he will
S .nd before all fai ■ minded demo
crats as a base slanderer and h Liar
of the first water.
Mr. Atkinson will not bo ruled out
of the race or off of the track by any
of the Atlanta click, and their efforts
in that direction will rebound—and
the Atlanta candidate will be thehurt
man.
Mr. Atkinson is in this race to a
finish and if he does not win it will
be the first race ever lost by the wool
hat boys of Georgia in tins day and
generation.
He is flinging no niud, not even at
the mud flingers of Atlanta who hale
him because he fought Atlanta’s pet
scheme the “soldiers poor house
home;’’a scheme Calculated to pour
money, gathered from all parts of
Georgia by taxation, into Atlanta’s
lap.
Atkinson’., record as a democrat
and a sti.tisman, is interwoven with
the most prosperous years of the
common wealth and the most briliant
victories of State Democracy—we re
fer you to history.
He was born too late in life to have
fought, bled and been shot off of a
horse iu the Confederacy but he has
been iu all the “since the war fights”
(except the AVaycross war) since be
has been able to tote his own and his
p irly’s share of skillets,
And he has done more for the old
Confederate veterans in the last four
years than General Evans has since
the Appomatox.
It strikes the averag ■. fighting dem
ocrat, that the Atlanta Club is yet
“fresh,” in party warfare, at lea t
when Atlanta‘s interest were not at
stak'q the wool hat’ boys of Georgia
have never heard of Atlanta demo
crats tearing their shirts for democ
racy.
Lst the Evanescent boomers con
fine themselves to the truth and look
ing up General Evans war record
n >w —and explaining how he got left
after the e’ection and they will have
all they can say grace ever.
