" ■■ Home is for Atkinson while the districts of Floyd with barely an ex’ CBntion are the same way only ®ore overwhelmingly so. Should the election for delegates actur tomorrow, Atkinson would mtrry Rome by a greater majority than John D. Moore did in the amyorulity race. Max Meyerhardt, papa to the jfax Mayerhardt Evans Club, of Rome, has been muzzled, but the Tribune continues to publish ru aaors, miesrepreseut. and —claim th.® earth. Since the Constitution has al ready elected Evans delegates from 250 counties, and tho empire as Fulton county, it is busy on the gubernatorial races of the Caroli nas Alabama. The Vidalia Star is the name of * bright weekly paper, recently established at Vidala, by Mr. J.E Smith. I is a staunch Atkinson paper. It is rumored that the next Board Trade will be called in the spring of 1899, to receive a report from its last appointed representation, Lord Seresford who will probab’y return ibout that time. The report that file Atkinson men net in this city a few nightsago and aiganized with a ‘‘president, three <iee presidents and a secretary and then went in search of men,” etc. is tn infamous lie- Let the man who started it make much of it.

Says the Macon Telegraph: Th 9 moat absurd stateiaent made s» far 13-the gubernatorial race, and that is 3®ying' a great deal, is the one origi nating, we believe, in that usually fair and reliable paper, the Valdosta Tinies, questioning the’democracy of W, Y.

Yetjthere w ould bn as much truth in the one as in the other. THE HUSTLER OF ROME, WEDNESDAY MARCH 21. J 894-. s the Columbus Ledger: It ally does appear that many of the Ivans papers are losing much ©f their enthusiasm. The Hawkinsville News and Dis patch remaiks that ‘Gen Evans continues to hustle over the State on lie handshaking tour. But he wishes it understood that he has no person al desire to be governor.’’ TH Angrr*" TT ornld says of federal offices, but th .. applies with equal orc© to Slate eiiices: “Bestow th© offices on those who have earned them Do it quickly Do it for the sake of righ and for the sake of the party 1 11 Let the Augusta Herald practice what it preaches and fall in the Atkinson column. This mornings “Jonah * uses this sentence: “It will bo very imbarras ing if Atkiasor/s supporters will not be able to give Lina a generous and hearty reception on his airival.’ The “Jonah 1 * should not worry its little mudslinging, rumor publishing soul about Bill Atkinson's reception, but confine itself to the Evanescent boomlet which in the spring time has “swunk“ so alarmingly. “Embarrass ing!“ indeed—we war© ©bout to speak of the ©mbarrassment that awaits the Tribune in the certain de feat of the Reverend Evan©, but we remembered the old “Jonah’’ was accustomed to defeat’ Some of the Evans papers ©eem to be worried at the Telegraph*© stand for late primaries. As far as Mr. At kinson's candidacy is concerned, the Telegraph woo das soon “have the primaries tomorrow as any other time. He would carry a majority of the counties in the State. Its desire for late primaries is due solely to a desire for the interest of the Demo cratic party. No Democrat, whether in town or country, should be able to say that he had not a full oppor tunity te vote in the primary without making a sacrafice for which there is no nccesity.—Macon Telegraph. The spr’gs of Atlanta who are try ing to run the p litics of the state are now calling on Evans men every where to get the boys out and select 1 delegates early and instruct them for Evans. They realize that the gener al's strength is weakening every Jday, and they fear that unless something is done right away to stem the At kinson tide, that there wont be a corporal's guard iu the Evans camp when the convention is called— Statesboro Star.

If the Democratic Congress fail© to repeal the ten p©r cent, tax on St*t© bank circulation, it will be false to th" pledge© of the Demo cratic party, and unworthy »f th© c©nfidence of the people that plac ed it in power. This tax is in vi»latieu of tLe Constitution of our country, and is opposed to the theory of Demo cra* ic government. The object of taxation is for rev enue to support the Gcvernr nt. i Every citizen who is familiar with the history of this legislation) knows that it was never intended for revenue, but for prohibition. It was a war measure that had but one purpose—to make a market for Government bonds. So long as it eontinu"B, the South and West will be bound hand r.”d foot by the money power. As le tween free silver coinage and free banking, the would be infi nitely better off with the latter, than with the former, Th© Governornmnt has n© right to make banking laws that are prohibitive, and that prevent the people of the States from engaging in free banking. It has no right to impose a tax for revenue that es tablishes a monopoly in banking. The tax ©f ten per c©nt, on th© circulation of State banks is a fraud and a ebeat upon the States. It never did and never will raise a dollar for revenue. It was intend ed to prohibit the people of the States from engaging in free bank ing. It was intended to establish a monopoly in the Government. For thirty years this law has re mained upon rhe statute books. The Democratic party is pledg ed to its repeal. If this oppressive and iniquitaus tax is not wiped out by this Congress, our party will be false to its pledges, and I y its failure will have forfeited the confidence and respect of the toi’ - mg millions whose interests will have been sacrificed to she money power. For two-thirds of a century th# Slates exercised the sovereign right to control and regulate their banking systems, and the Democratic party will have proven itself falte to its traditions and convictions unless the pledges made to the people in Chicago platform, Ou which President Cleveland was elected, are redeemed. —Augusta Chronicle. ’ DECIDES AGAINST THE BULL DOZING INK SLINGERS. The Star has, so fat, endeavored to be neutral in the heated political discussions which have been going the rounds of the press with regard to the aspirations of Gen. Evans and Mr. Atkinson for gubernatorial hon ors, simply because we have been unable to find the issue at stake. Both men are worthy deserving sons of Georgia, and either of them is ful ly qualified to till the governor's chair vtiih credit to themselves and honor to the State, but it is a fore gone conclusion that we cannot elect both men to the same position at the aar * time. .. for we must take a position fur either the one or the other. And as such we have, after carefu] consideration of all the tacts that have been brought to bear by the editorial friends of these gentlemen, ecupkd with our past experience in a laud of bulldozing ink slingers, and big men and ao called big city pa pers, in their efforts to cause the people to forget that in this country all men are equally free and inde pendant in their individual capaci ties, and that they are endowed with t he inalienable rights of life, liberty, •he enjoyment of property, pursuit of happiness and the privilege of private judgment, decided that the people owe the honors to the Hon. W. Y Atkinson Se our exchanges will observe that we are now in the ring with glove off, being actuated by honest motives, we make our first whoop for the peo ple’s candidate.—Vidalia Star. HYPOCRITE AND FRAUD. No matter what may be brought out i i ths defense of W. C. P. Breckenridge during the progress of the disgusting case now on trial, one thing has already been proved be yond the possibility ot controver sion. Ii is, that Breckinridge has I bee©, for year?, fading a life of de- i ception an 1 .and This man, who posed as a Chris tian statesman, who was so pure a • pious that hia dehided admirers held him up a© a model to their ©o©B, and frequently bemoaned th© fact that we had so few public men like him! 1 ke theorj of defense which his own counsel has set forth in the ponding case, is a conlession that he is an ai rant humbug and an areh-hypocrite. Vv hah mt may be l id of the wo man in the ere, it is clear that she wasp erl'ss in the hands ©f-this mar, and that his conduct toward© her was shameful to the last degree. Confessing what he does, it is an auTzing exhibition of impudence, it is an insult to public opinion, not on ly in bis own district, but in the whole country, that this iua» is now’ asking another eledi u to congress. V»’« cannot believe that the Lex— ingto© district will disgrace itself by putting forward as its representative, a Dian who is disgraced in the eyes of the nation, ana who is already shun ned by every decent congressman.— Atlanta Journal.
