V. 1 . 'lB The-Irish potato” grows wild in the mountains of Chili and pern, where it is undoubtedly in digenous, r Coxey will ma ch 100,000 tramps on Washington and demand a “hand out” ot the United States Senate. _ . '» General Evans says 100 counties are for him and more than 100 newspapers. Furnish us the list General, and we will publish them gladly. The Evans papers are busy count" ing those ’Ts” in Mr- Atkinson’s speeches. The ztlkinsons people will have their deal when the time comet for counting votes. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt is said to have obtained possession ot a superb ciown ihut unce adorn ed the brow of Empress Eugenie. The jewel is said to l ave cost Mrs. Vanderbilt $300,000. General Evans denies the fdefe meat tha* he is 70 years of age. Will the General give us the date of his birth along with his dem ocratic record for the past -30 years? There is not a newspaper man in Georgia but who will ark for the list and have to see it before he believes that one hundred Georgia papers are battling for General Evans. Yesterday's Tribune cut out its Atlanta Pot metal foundry reports of the Athens debate and rehash ed Ihe partisan stuff from Friday night’s Journal. The “foundry” out put was too honest for the old “Jonah.” Here’s the only joke in the brignt little Augusta news of Friday’s issue “Toe Atkinsonian debates are not what they say were cracked up to be.“ In a few days the news will be ‘lowin wheres Evans “at“ anyhow? South Africa is having the hot test summer known in fifty years. During the early part of last month the average shade temperature of Capo Town was 90 to 95 (Jegrees, the heat in the sun ranging from 130 to 150. The Reverend Evans, driven to the wall by the young Statesmans from Coweta has admitted that he would have voted for the Soldiers home poor house A ttanta scheme. With him and the Atlanta Ring it is Atlanta first-second and third and Georgia, fourth . Macon Telegraph: “Tiiere is no use in talking: Mr, Atkinson can beat Gen. Evans out of sight when it comes to speaking to the yeo manry of the State of Georgia. And he will beat him out of sight when it comes to the vote in the primary.” It was a lucky day for Colonel Itkineonwhen Tom Reid, Phil lyrd and Joe Doolan reached the Jonclueion that he is the proper man for governor of Georgia. This is a trio ot the brainest and most courageous young journalists in the country, and their staying and lighting qualities are exhaustless. 1 —Macon Bee A r. ' >WFIP‘M 4N UNSEEN HAND.

Atkinson is a Democrat for his party —Evans is a Democrat for himself.—Griffin News. In General Gordon’s day “clubs were trumps" but in General Ev ans 1 day—why its different. Democrats, join no clubs but democratic clubs. See and hear the democcatic candida'es and like a freeman dicide which is best «nd vote for him, Tho Mtx Meyerhardt Evans Club of .Rome was a brilliant scheme to hold boomers but it is not democratic and it wont work . The boys are running over the guards and —“clubs are not trumps.'* The Democratic sentiment in Geor gia is demanding a rule of primaries to select State convention delegates.— Brunswick Times. That’s exactly what Atkinson men are clamoring for and nothing would suit them bettefThan to have all the primaries m one day or have them all on seperate days. See? Mr. John Black, the cleverest Tax Colleetor in 40 states is be ing worked to death by the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club of Rome. The Club puts him at the head of every delegation, makes him chair man ot every committee, and a committee of one with power to act in all the balance of the busi ness that sterna so pressing on the club, just now.

Geuenal Evans may yet j liv > to represent Fulton county in the legislature, bui be will never live to carry the Atlanta, Soldiers home poor house scheme into the Governor’s office. Mark that pre diction, THE ATLANTA RING. Talk about the “Atlanta ring’’ is bosh. We are proud of Atlanta There is but one Atlanta in the south. If there is an Atlanta > it is composed of some of theb , pluckiest, brainest men from all corners of the state, who have sought Atlanta as a field for their enterprise, or who have been sent there by the peop'e who knew their worth. “Atlanta ring,” for sooth—it were an honor to belong to such a ring.—Dalton Argus. That’s what yon and the Rever end Evans and the Peachtree street ere say you think of it but the “Wool hat boys” of Georgia are not candidates to jine, neither have they any desire to lope with such a concentrated, consolidated, brainey gang. THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY MARCH 25. 1894. AMONS THE FMNCES. —Editor GL nn, of the CloV> land Progress, throws this hard brick at (lie so called Damocratic papers that are loudly clamoring for the Populist platform. “1 would weai a swilling face, ]f my side still held tha thor: Hut I wouldn't be a prepulist, If I suuldn't own the co n.” O O Tenipora, O mosea! Tho latest ii birthday presents from young men to young ladies is a bath tub. Ye god* and smallest fishes I Dalton Argus. Well aint cleanliness next to Godliness and don’t the passion of pure love inspire from heaven. Let *vwry tub set on its ow bot tom ana all will be well. The “silver tongued’’ orator of Kentucky seems to be coining his seignorage, so to speak.—Brun swick Times. What “mint?” The last few days have been striking remiders that the barefoot season is at hand, and that the frsctle-faced boy with the fish’ng pole on hia shoulder will soon make bis appearance. —Griffin Call. The following front the Macon Bee, strictly non partisan, throws a a new light on the Griffia debate: The Bee has not the slightest doubt but that the odds in the Griffin j oint debate were in Col. Atkinson's favor- Even General Evan's wannest friends admit this to be true. Atkinson had the crowd, had the thunder and had the laugh. RANDOM SHOTS FROM THE GKIFFIN FIGHT. The following “Kanapaigu Knuggets” are found in the “clean up” of the Griffin News the day after the “crushing:” One thing is pretty certain - Bill Atkinson is not afraid of a brigadier, whether he wo rs epaulets or not. An acute and unbiased observer of the debate said yesterday that ■ Atkinson is the longest-headed man in politics since Joe Brown was in his prim*. Col. A. J, West and W. L Cal houn, two bright diamonds of the setting of the Atlanta Ring, added eclat to the Evans side by their presence. General Evans may not like that way of putting it, but it seems to be Peachtree street against the cress roads and the cotton furrows Gen. Evans is very particular about a few months on his rge He says that he is not seventy years old, but will he deny that he will be seventy some time this y ear? 1824-1894-70. When it becomes gtnerally known who was the drunken foul from At lanta that called Atkinson a liar, there will ba nothing further said about the incident of the Nev n band playing a piece as it m archi l t to linner The Atlanta ring, called for this campaign the “Fulton County Evans Club,'' couldn’t, keep its fingers Oilt of Wednesday L pie. Ignoring the fact that the Griffin Evans club doesn't like music, the Atlanta gang hired the Barnesville band, paying the round price of forty dollars for a day. lhat last jell when Atkiuaon got the conclusion on the general settled it with Pleas Stovall, the valiant Evansite of the Savannah Press, and he rushed up to the telegraph office and wired his paper to change his report so as to show that the crowd was Atkinso; J >eyond a doubt Stovall will tell the truth in his news - The Atlanta Constitution and the county Evans “me toos" claim that Atkiuson is warring against Atlanta when he is only roasting the Atlanta politicians who are i endeavoring to run the state-Meriwether Vndicaitor The Evai a men are now claiming Chattanooga and Charleston. If they can secure Chicago and New York they may begin to feel safe. But Georgia continues gradually to come in for Bill Atkinson—lrwington Ald*rm: n McYrver stated that hia name has beea put on the Ev ans ‘Hub roil without hia consent He stated further, lest mghX ali he was now, as he bad been a l oitg, an Atkinson man.Svoie ary Mey er haidt ph as skratch. There may have been an Evan’ tide in gubeinittorial matters a' one time, but it seems now as if the general had mounted the wrong wave and got a ducking. The way his boom is dwindling is a eight. —Bluffton New-*. Heres a pertinent remark from the last Vindication. Is Gen, Evans afi ad to go to tbe country people] vid ta’k to them? We notice that he is con tinually fitting from town to town cauca ishing with the town felhri whom he thinks are the bosses of their respective countries We see that the Atlanta papers think that all of the ve’-erans will support Gen. Evans for governor but they are badly mistaken. We think the majority of old vetrraus of this county will support Hon, VV. Y. Atkinson. We are satisfied that this county will go for Atkin son.—JefferFonville Enterprise.

And Wives his Reason” for Dsiug gs. Laves Evans bnt Alone Must set rule, —„ The Advertiser up to this time] has favored the nomina'.ton of; General Evaua for governor, but ' we have decided that the interests | I of the Democratic party demamda the nomination of Honorable W. Y. Atkinson and hencs forth we will advocate his claims. We have arrived at this conclu gion after a care'ul and impartial study of the political situation in Georgia. Our personal feelings from tbe start we have been with General Evans. The writer entered the Confederate army when a youth of 15 years of age and fer four years followed the flag of the Confederacy and with it went down in defeat and we sympathise with the brave men who sacrificed everything in the defense of our homes and of «ur common coun try. We symyathise with them be cause we were one es them We shared their fortunes and with them we tasted of the b'tterness es defeat, and if we were left- to de termine the question as.to who should be governor of Georgia, purely upon setrtimeul, we should say vote fc- Gen. Evans. But the war is over, and while we honor the brave men who fought its battles, we put party success above sentiment. We believe that [ rosperity and happiness can only be brought to the homes of our people by perpetuating the prin ciples of the Democratic party. We believe that the unjust and oppressive burdens under which our people have already suffered too long, can only be relieved by a triumph of these principles which the Democratic party has pledged the people in its platform to inaugerate, and our deliberate judgement is that W. Y. Atkinson is best equipped to lead the D m ocratic hosts to victory. He possesses all the qualifica tions of a safe and successful lead er. He is in the prime of his vig orous m inhood, absolutely honest and f» ar uss in the discharge of every duty, able and courageous and unflinching in his fidelity to the interest of the party and to the people. He was not a Confederate sol dier because be was too young to enter the army. But too years ago when the Democratic party was in danger, when ths most stubborn and persistent fight was made up on tbe Democratic principles that the party has ever experienced in Gsorgia; when the Democratic camp-fires were kept burning up on every hill-top; when the servi ces of a wise, prudent and coura geous leader were required, W Y. Atkinson was selec'ed and he en tered upon the work heart aud sou! from first to last. He was iri the thickest ©f the tight, battliug for ug and ourchil dren after us, and we triumphed, gloriously triumphed. The people of Atlanta had no such battle to fight; they bad no such struggle with the third party, not one-half of them even voted in that elec tion ; honca, they have never been abie to understand the admiration the country Democrats of N >rth Georgia have for VV. Y. Atkihson. . We have joined the Atkitiseu forces, not because we love G*n. Evans lees, but became we love the Democratic party mere. The people of Dawson eounty, and we believe *f thia entire section of the State, are demanding the nom ination W. Y, Atkinson. ■ Tho Evane boom has collapsed —it was born in Atlanta and has not thrived outside of her gates. We honor General Evans— wo be lieve that he n a Christian gentle man and the politicians of Atlan ta in their greed for office should never have dragged this venerable old man from the pulpit into the political arena. bohmmil am dentists.
