Jan. 23. 1894 Editor Hustler of Rome, You are hereby authorized to announce this ticket to the voters of Romo, subject to their action in the coming municipal election, Asking their support, wo pledge our best effort, individual and com bined, to the services o p thepeopl< and to the upbuilding of our city Respectfully, For mayor JOHN D. MOORE. FOR ALDERMEN First Ward—A. B. McArver, Second Ward—W. J Neel, Third Ward —Henry Stoffragan. Fourth Ward Walter Harris, Fifth Ward —T. J. McCaffrey. - 4 MR. ATKINSON’S APPOINT MENTS. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson will speak at Greensboro, Greene county, on Monday, Fei r lary 12. Jefferson, Jackson county, on Tuesday February 13. Riggold, Catoosa county, on Thursday Februray 15. The Waycross war at last is ended, The “General ’ had bis mentis, And now the private has descended 4E. To claim his pay and pension. The title of B >b Taylor’s n»-w lec ture will be “a harp of a thousand strings.’’Bob will work t he strings. ■■ ■ ■ w Six slant eyed mongolians, Sun day School scholars of Atlanta were fined $75 each for playing ‘‘fan tan.” Look out for a little 2x4 cam paign paper. Some one in the mu nicipial race i, growing yet more ttasasy. The Wileon Rill has passed the house, And gone before the senate. The Income Tax Biil rode it out, Now watch these Bills get “in it” Even an /Atlanta paper has ad mitted that the State press is split in twain over the Gubernatoria question. The Waycross war. debt will be settled by tho S ate of Georgia, ■“General” Northen will soon be retired from public life. Them’s-my-sent imen<s, Evans will go down to history as a good old man who wanted to be Govern or—too bad. A call was issued for the organ, ization of an Evans Club at Gains ville, Ga. At the appointed hour two men met. In Rome 21 met for a similar purpose. It is claimed that James Whit comb Riley, the Hoosier poet re ceives an income of $30,000 a year. We know ayahoo poets who don't make S3O in twelve months. The breech between the Gate City Guards and the State troops widens— verih . verily, aye verily doth ( ach coming calamity crowd upon the Heels of the passing dis asters. General Evans helped elect General Gordon, and General Gor don w ill w ill help try to elect Ger." era! Evans—if he can spare the time from the Senate and his lee tar* business. Atlanta wauls tu get the Gov ernorship. therefore she don’t claim the two United States Sena tors. But the people of Georgia hav not forgotten the arguments used by the senators in the recent At anta Post office flight. LINES FOR AN ALBUM. In the Garden of life, ’Neith the Rhine and the showers, Remember that Hope is the dew; But to you is the Knife, Mid the weeds and the flower— What you do you may never undoe. On the ocean of Time, On the foam crested billows, ’Neith a sky beaming calm in its blue. Sail your craft for that clime Where the bar > knows no willow What you do you tnay never undoe. I’HII.I, Gi.e.nk Byrd, ‘ ATLANTA IS IN GEORGIA” Editor Byrd speaks of the ‘‘A‘- lanta colony” in the penitentiary. Every town has its quota of crim inals, good friend, and th- fact that people with prominent con nections are convicted here, shows that At! nta is not so lawless after all. Another thing—Atlanta, like Rome, is aci’y of which all Geor gians should be proud. It indicates no statopride to make unnecessary flings at a progressive Georgia city. Now fly off to your self Brother Byrd, and think seriously over this suggestion, and like the good little dove that you are, tell us whether this view of the case is correct. —Atlanta Commercial. Du tell! Blackburn admits that “Atlanta, like Rome,” is a city in Georgia, or words to that effect. Os course if Atlanta will admit that she is “in” Georgia and that Georgia is not just a sort of Deca tur wagon yard in Atlanta, why we have got soinethii g to “fly off to ourself” with, and think powerful “seriously over.” The “hog and hominy” cry is heard, From mountain unto valley; “Hogs and hominy” is the word, Let hogs in hoi mony rally. THE CAMPAIGN OPENED. The speech in which Hon. W. V. Atkinson opened his campaign Was entirely creditable to him. He was more than courteous in his allusions to Gen. Evans —whose high standing as a gentleman and Christianminister nobody disputes —and pepfectly frank in his treat ment of public question*?. It can not fail to make a favorable im pression on all who read it. In his opening speech Mr. At kinson naturally dwelt to some extent on the questions prominent in national politicts, and we are sure that the position he assume is gratifying to the Democrats of the state who have the success of the parly at heart. The Chicago pla‘- form is his platform. He omits none of it, does not strain it out of its obvious naean *ng, but accepts it just as it was written and understood at ths time it was addopted. He claims the right which be longs to every citizen of judging every act of the Democratic ad ministration, and he frankly says that of some of those acts he does not approve, but he is not the en emy of that admiustration but its friend. He seeks to sustain it— not to break it down. This is the proper attitude of a Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, and we belive it will be endorsed by the people of the state They ought to defeat, and we be lieve they will, the attempt which is being made to decieve them into repudiating the platform of the party and array themselves in bit ter hostility against the Democrat, ic administration. It requires no gift of the proph eoying power to foresee tb t the Buccet*B of this attempt wi 1 put a stop indefinitely to lhe great batle iu behalf of td.e peple n>w being fought under enormous diff iculities at Washington. Mr. Atkinson makes a good be gining. Already there is evidence on every hand that Lis candidacy is received^with increa.-ing favor by the people. There will be uiorer evidence of the same kind as the campaign progresses. He has we believe, a majority of the papers of the state with him now. and he will have a majority of Democrats with him when the final test comes, unless all signs fail. —Macon Telegraph. Ten thousand people attend each of Sam Jones’ meetings in Nash ville. Among his recent converts is Fx-Senator John J. Ingalls, of ■Causafl. Surely there is hope for' Mary Yellin Lease. PURELY POLITICAL, '1 he esteemed Evans Cuckoo | uts the beers oa The Constitution in ( regard to the Sherman repeal. But | it will be • nly a short returned. Tne trouble a ith there papers i.-, , that they are continually going in the hole and pulling the hf>le m after them. — Atlanta Crommerci- , al. Its wholly ti unnecessary to make such disparaging remarks of these holey terrors. The Commercial should be ashamed o f its self— ‘tying ti make the Constitution “come back at” the Journal, You fellows should not forget the “truce decl ired until General Ev ans is elected.” The People’s Will, General Ev ans authorized and totally exclu sive Atlanta orgar, (the monkeys included,) says “The young men are determined not to be misled by . d^mogoguery 7 or misrepresented by politicians” we agree throughly and hence they will refuse to fol low any advice that paper may give for of all ihe politicians on earth we are convinced that some of the slickest are backing up its efforts. ' —Athens Banner. It might be well to state to the ’ public that “The People s Will” is as abreviated in name as it is in democracy—its full .name Jis The Atlanta People’s Will. The attempt to hang Win. Purvis at Columbia, Miss., Wednesday was rather an extraordinary occurance. The action of the people in prevent ing the execution, after the noose had once slipped and he exclaimed “I knew the Lord would be with me ’ , at first suggested to our minds an over amount of superstition; but when we remember the solemnity of such proceedings and the positive avowal of innocence on the part of the condemned man, we are inclined to believe that we would have acted with the spectators who prevented the execution of the sentence. The peo ple of Mississippi will eagerly await any new developments in the case, and if the £mat’s innocence should come to light the must, superstiiious among us would say, “Truly the Lord w s with him.” PASSING or THE GATE CITY GAM bler. Last Friday Frank Van Houten, an Atlanta sport, charged with gam bling was tried before Judge West moreland of that city. Van houten was one of 66 young bloods, indicted sometime ago, for gaming, many of them went before Judge Clark and were fined $25 and cost or abouts 67 total,each. Judge Westmorland is evidently not as great an admirer of the hab its of the Atlanta animal as was Judge Clark, as evidence by the following sentence passed on the convicted gambler: “This is a plain case, where the evidence is direct and conclusive. Mr. Cleik, said he, turning to Clerk Bonham. “I shall instruct you to take the names of all those convicted before me of gaming. Those who appear a second time I shall send to he chaingang There’ll be no alternative. I’ll see who is the bigger—th* man or the law Gambling is on the increase here and must be stopped, I ehal tine the defendant for this offense $l5O and costs,” That was just $125 more than it would have cost before Judge Clark.

WILL THE CONSTITUTION ANSWER The Atlanta Constitution refers proudly to the brilliant service rendered the party by Gen. Evans during the campaign of 1891— particularly in the Tenth district, where Gen Evans resid’d at that time, Mr. Atkinson made nine speech es in the Tenth district during the campaign of 1892. Will the Con stitution be good enough to state whether Geu. Evans spoke at all in that campaign, either in the Tenth district or elsewhere? ff he did, his oration must have been sum marily suppressed, for the publi; has never heaad «f it.—Newnan Herald.
