In the jeint debate at tht court house yesterday, General Evans claimed, in hie speech, that when Mr. Atkinson defeated the isoldiers lr me scheme, he cut off every ave nue of state relief to the old Vstsr | *qs wha sliou'd have been housed there. In making this statement, Gen. Evans has spoken without due in formation and the Ilftanta of R?ME would advise him to “read up ’ on the subject before he tackles it again—perhaps if he weal'd take the house Journal «>f 1891 and read or page 1319 he eeuld get a little In i' :'i. a. ■ ight nee then that Dr, Bald- • ' tniid >lph, introduced a bill to i ue very class of old Veterans v t Lave been forced to eater 'nt .•’#» tiers home for relief. This bill j.r rd the house, acci r ling to I e re s by a vote of 119 to 3 n 1 Bii Atkinson wag not of the “8.” If the General will go further he will find that Baldwin’s bill was kill ed in the Senate by the friends of lhe Soldiers home, and therefore at the door of that “home” and the “ring’’ t int sought to put it on the state for ‘Atlanta’s benefit Ties the blame for the poor old needy veterans having no relief. The Atlanta spirit of “Rule or ruin,” a spirit peculiar only to the "Atlanta Ring’ is held responsible by tiro old Veterans for enough to de feat any mau that may l»e put for ward by that alem* n‘ • Iwo legislatures made ap of rep ■jsentativee from every county in the -fate have set down on the Atlanta Soldiers home * 'poor house’, scheme ind W.

HOW’S TH 111 GENERAL* In his speech yesterday at th* court house General Evans said in disscussiug the location sf the Soldiers home: “The trustees, of whona the Al lan'a trusstee were a small minor ity, considered a location. The Atlanta trustees left it to the oth ers to decide and it wai located at Atlanta, and was bought at a low prise.’’ The above is about es we re membered it and must be right as it is clipped from tie Tribune.
