There’s more dol lars than sensu in the history they are making. Howell’s ware house or from the verandah of the Central Hotel, anywhere in preference to the Op »ra House for the joint debate on Monday. The Tribune claims Floyd “Seven to one” for Evans and this on the eve of Honorable Sea born Wrights p/opecting his finau cial interests. The Macon News is a bright paper, ably edited but when it comes to Gubernatorial politics the Griffin News roosts on the limb above. Another day has passed, and Mr, Max Meyerfcardt, the papa of th** Mcx Meyerhardt Evans Club of Rome remains “muzzled,” Great are the Evans Bosses of Atlanta. There were 2,500 people in Gris fin to hear the Atkinson-Evans debate. There will be 5 000 in Rome on next Monday. The Opera Heuse with a capacity of 1,000 is not the place for the debate. Perhaps, ere long, Col. Seaborn Wright,“the Tribune of the people will give the people a Tiibune of Roma that will at least not run s “cold storage system,’ on its edi torial page. Mr. Meyerhardt promises tc br. -» nit “m ilv” aud have “something” to sty in Sunday morning’s Tribune: Perhaps he and the Reverend Evans will oc cupy the same pew bunday morn ing. Some beautiful, bright eyed daughter of Eve entered this office by stealth and in our abscence left a garland of rare flowers.

ATKINSONS PLATFORM. General Evans at Griffin. 1 That Evans wis useless for anything. 2 That no one but Atkinson was fit.for anything. In the same speech he said : The only difference beteen us is that he thinks I ought not to be governor and he ought. " ■- ■ The Cedart >wn Standard is te be pardoned for advocating a Polk county man, in the person of Col. R. W. Everett for Congress. It is a compliment to Er. Everett and shows county pride in the Stand ard’s make cp. But for the district at large John W. Maddox is “the” man and “will’’ succeed himself “ Mark that prediction.” The Tribune wants one of its little Ix 4 henchmen to start an afternoon paper in Reme. but then the “morning Jonah” advocated “village farming” “beet culture’’ and fought the democratic nomi nee for congress at the polls and elected John D. Moore mayor of Rome by opposing him. The new evening paper, unlike the Etowah, is already damned. The Journal altacts Mr. Atkin son on silver, and theCenstitution says that Mr. Atkinsen and the Reverend Evans are on the same slank when it comes to the silver section of the Democratic platforai Thar now ! The lion and lamb act ias terminated and the Journal will run Scott Therntou for gov ernor, with Jumbo Hunter for his advance agent. A New York item says the feat ure of the Easter parade on Fifth avenue next Sunday will be the Prince Albert coats for women. These coats are the latest craze of fashiou. They ar« described as differing from men’s Prince Al berts in having round instead of straight skirts. Noting thia new feminine fad, the sedate old Sa vaunah News remarks: “As men are comparatively slabsidod they must necessarily wear straight and ugly garments, while women, through the favor of nature, may wear gracefully draped covering; hence it is possible that even a Prince Albert coat may become beautiful on the female form di vine.” THE JOINT DEBATE AT URIf FIN The Griffin Nt ws of yesterday morning, in an able editorial uses this language : “As was anticipa ted by all candid people on both sides, and discounted by the pa r tisans of General Evans, that gen tleman proved himself no match for his younger and better posted antagonist, and nothing but Mr. Atkinson’s courtesy prevented his discomfiture from being still more complete al the conclusion of his argument. Giners I Evans reached flights of ol®qiienc< >;• ous 1 A large portion of his .v.euce co a considerable pitch of enthusiasm at times; but when Mr. Atkinsoe presented in burning words the wants of the people at this time and boldly declared for the reme dies so plainly laid down in the Democratic platforms and creeds, State and national the crowd showed unmistakably its prefer ence for the champion of today as its standard-bearer over the vale tudinarian of the past.” There is at least one element in most northern eommunitiea that takes great interest in the late con federacy. That element is composed of the philatelist who give relics of the “Lost cause’’ a high place of honor, At a sale in New York tht other day a lot of confederate provis ional postaga stamps on the original envelopes brought high prices, The gem of the collection a five-eents Livingtton, Ala., stamp on the origi nal envelope.

Water-lu luj Says the Macon Telegraph: It is a great pity to see a man like Senator Colquitt wrecked by disease. He bus done mueh for the state of Georgia, and the Telegraph trusts that he will be spared to do much more. A fellow wa k d in thia office a few days ago and said; “Hello what's the matter; the office looks like you have moved something out? 0 There was nothing missing, we had laid off a day and swept out.—Douglas New South, If the people of Georgia are in earnest in their efforts to make the state the leader in the era of pros perity which is opening up f®r the South, they will place in the guber natorial seat a young, aggressive and progressive man. Such a one is W. Y, Atkinson. He ought to be eleciedt He will be elected*—Macon Tele graph.

EXEUNT EVANS CLUBS. Three or four weeks ago we heard a grate deal of noise about Evans clubs. The Evans napers had a great deal to say about them and a few people were led to believe that nearly all the democrats in Georgia were bamling themselves together m Evans club to beat the life of Mr Atkinson s candidacy. Suddenly the club racket ceased it wouldn't work worth a cent. The people refuse to be misled by it, and the Evans boomers were compelled to cease their efforts to organize clubs for the purpose of fighting the candi dacy of the most prominent demo crat in the state. Mr . Atkinson has advised his friends not tc organize clubs in his behalf He think sit isjwrong f»r demo crats to organize against each other and he is right. He wants the demo crats to decide freely between himself and. Rev. C. A. Evans, and then and then organize to fight the third party, as we didin 1892. If Rev. C A. Evans is nominated Mr At kinson will do what he can to elect him and his skill as an organizer will be used with the same telling effect as in 1892. The fact that the people havh refused to Evans clubs indicates Jiiat they intend to consider the merits of Cavh candidate, and when they do that Mr Atkinson will go in like streak of greased lightning— Laweranceville News GEORGE WASHINGTON DP A TREE Whoever has seen the Washington monument in Baltimore with the •Touching bronze lien of Barye near its base.will appreciate the story they tell about the rustic huntsman on his first visit to town i He was shown all the objects of interest in Baltimore, one by one .but gave each only a passing glance and not even ■o much as a word of c*mm«nt when he came in sight «f the Wash ington monument t however, a new light shot from his eye. At last it was obvious that southing, had been found to interest him. He scanned th« shaft for some minutes lunning his «ye from the base to the point on which the statue stood and back again, then fastened his gaze on the crouching lion as if fascinated His lips parted and his city friends drew near to hear hie criticisms of the scultptor's art.

R- & C. tra n also bring in a heavy past- : r cargo of the true blue boys t • m the mountain counties. A’k ,-Son is the “peoples choice” and will bo the next Governor “mark that prediction. ” Says the Cedartown Standard: The joint debate yesterday between Col, Atkinson and Geu. Evans in ftriftin seems to have been an Atkin son victory. His speech was strong and eloquent, and drew the fire and entheaiasm of the crowd. Several thousand people were there, and it was a genuine o’d-time Democratic rally. The j< int debate between Colonel Atkinson and General Evans in Rome will occur next Monday, the 26th. A large crowd will likely hear the discasHOß, and much interest over the result is felt by Democrat?. Ce town will no doubt furnish several spectators. “POOR JOHN” SIBLEY. We received a pleasant call on Saturday last from Hon. John Sib ley, of Marietta, He it was who made the race as the third party nominee in the 7th against Hon. Jno. W Maddox for Congress, and of course, got left. Personally Mr. Sibley is a very clever, affable gen tleman, but politically he is still a Populist although he says that if the Democratic platform be faith fully carried out there is no fur ther need for or use of a third par ty. So it appears to us rt is time ftr the Populist to disband and join ferces with the Democrats whe are as rapidly redeeming their party pledges and restoring confidence and prosperity to the country as can be done after fol lowing the Republican party that left a depleted treasury and a dis - satisfied people the country over. —Cherokee Advance, WHERE ARE THEY! There are ninety weeklies and twenty dailies in Georgia support ing General Evans for Governor,— Savannah Press. The Elberton Star, that claims to be the first paper to nominate Gen. Evans for governor hud a list of the p apers, daily aud weekly, supporting General Evans, and rt numbered less thau ninety, with tome Atkinson papers aud several doubtful papers included in the list. Ab to the twenty dailies, there are only twenty-three dailies in th® State, and surely the Press does not class The Hustler of Rome, the Macon Telegraph, the Grifli.i News, Columbs Enquirer, the Savanah Morning News, the Albany Herald or the Athene Banner, in the Evans column. All of these except the Herald and the Morning News are for Atkinson. One thiugmight be said that six of the dailies for General Evans are located in Fulton and Rich mond counties, But allowing the wild claims of the Savannah Press on this subject there are still enough Atkinson papers in Georgia to number more than theirs and enough Atkinson voters to make him Governor.- Athens Banner.
