THE HUSTLER OF ROME.
THIRD YEAR.
1 ffltt K
sVhat the Atlanta Daily Com
mercial Says of it.
u A y ATLANTA TAMINY HALL”
one Os the Biggest Political Cembi
liatien S ever Formed Anywhere Is
Being Made Herein Atlanta.
Tbe following from Blackburn’s
fearless Atlanta Daily Commer
rial will be devoured with avidlt V
by those“pure hearted politicians
wh o refuse to believe that Atlanta
would tolerate anything so unholy
agau “Atlanta Ring.”
One of the biggest political com
binations every formed in local poli
tics any "bere is now being made
here in Atlanta.
It is a combination that, if coin
pleted, w'll be one of the greates
political'machines that has ever ex
sted in the South-
The number o f officers to be elect* d
this year, makes the formation of a
poMiiul« mbinalion easy and since
the conception of the scheme, its pro
gross towaids complete organization
has been very rapid.
The deal that is being made is to
effect a complete combination by
which all the county and muncipal
officers of Fulton county and Atlanta
shall be controlled by one powerful
ring.
An Atlanta Tammany hall; That's
he idea -
Those at the head of th scheme ire
among the shrewdest and most suc
cessful politicians of the city and
county, and a combination over
which they have control,will be able
to control the result of all city and
county elections and bestow the
offices on whom they desire.
The idea is to effect combin a
tions between men strong in the
city, and who have a powerful
pull with the voters, with other
men similarly situated iu the
county, and in this manner con
trol the whole local pol itical pap .
Just with whom this scheme
originated is unknown, but that
the work of forming the big com
bination is being rapidly pushed
is a fact beyond dispute.
The first meeting of the Atlanta
Tamany was held in a certain lawyer's
office last Tuesday night. Another
meeting was held on Thursday, and
another on Saturday. JJ Only about
a dozen or fifteen men were present,
at these meetings, but they are al*
powerful political wire manipulators,
and the self-constituted leaders in
the scheme. They are making up the
bie slate, and when it is completed
the candidates the combination will
have to present, will combine all sorts
°f political strength, and the ring will
be able to bring pressure to bear up
on every element in the political
World.
Listen for the growl of Atlanta’s
tiger.

Cave Spring. Ga. Apr 24- -The
more Conservative Citizens of our
town seems to be quietly watching
listening and enjoy ingdhe hot debates
which accur on our streets at a ct r
tain p!ace known as the “Loafers
benches” botween the rampant Evans
men and the hot headed Atkinson
crowd and so for I am unable to state
positively as to .which party out
stripped the other though expert
things will come to a head some time
in the near future —rny way Mr
Editor while I think every body
should be interesthe in seeing
The proper man elected to fill our
high officers of trust yet after having
sustained the heavy loss of havind
my“ best hat'* almost burned up
while carrying a totch light in ord«r
to help the boys'* celebrate Cleveland
election, and realizing financially
that I need uot look to the President
Elect for a new hat sence he has
gotten into office, and it did not
matter then withhim about my fosses
unless I had burned it before hand,
have de ’ided to keep quiet and who
ever gets tbe nomination, if they
will guarated to sustain my Jesses
while talkixg for them, why then I'll
be as rampant as ever—
Now while we have the subject of
election under discussion please al
low me a little more space to express"
my opinion.
There are six or seven Candidates
for the next Legislature, and all
from that most hoble city Rome,
why cannot we, O, Romans since
there is no Cataline in our town, if
youfurnrah two representatives fur
nish the other one from here?
I have iu my mind a gentleman
whom I think could occupv a s n a r

the interest of the people of Floyd-
His name is Hon. H. P. Chil

by any means —He has never

MOUNTED OFFICERS,

in the Police force is the mount

SOUND THE TOCSIN.
EBITOB HUSTLE! t
It has been the custom lately for
the county whose time it was to send
ue Senator, to name him, and tbe
other counties have come to bis BU] -
port without a dissenting voice. It
was a lather loose practice, I will ad
mit, and we should have done as
formerly, held a Senaorial Conven
inn and let the three comities select
the man. We do not know wnat tbe
eounty of Bartow may de, but in ad
vance.oi any action taken by the
convention we sound the tocsin from
Pine Log to Taylors Ridge, and give
warning in time that no bird of
doubtful feather need applv.
Let the true Democrats of Bartow
put themselves on guard and see that
uo one is put on the ticket who is not
in account with the platform of th
-of his State and of the
United States.
The lines will bo drawn as never
before and the test of loyalty to the
party must be found in adhering to
the declar Ltiocs of its principles take
nothing for granted but know
this time before you act.
Men regarded heretofore as Demo
crate, may now be traitors in the
camps. Remember that a United
States Senator is to be elected by the
next Legislature, so it behooves you
to know he is not one who will bar
ter your dearest rights io the worst
elements of the Republican party.
By the way it would not be a ‘bad
idea for the Senatorial aspirants to
declare themselves on these points,
that no traitor may sneak into tl o
Democratic jfold and bear its honors
only to betray its trusts.
With great respect I am

BRICK YARD MULES BURNED
Along With Wagons Corn Hay and
Farm Utensils at 1 o'clock this
Morning. The Alarm at 11 o'clock
today.
The barn burner is abroad in the
land.
Last nigh , or rather this morning
at about one o’clock, the barn of th
Rome Brick Co, about three miles
out, was burned to the ground and its
entire contents licked up by the
flames.
Among the property distroyed was
a fine pair of mules, a eouple of wag
ons,lso bushels of c0rn,3,000 bundles
of fodder, 8 tons of hay, harness and
a fine lot of impoved farm imple
inents
The fire was discovered at about
1 o'clock but was under such head
way that it was impossible to lib
erate the mules and rescue them
from the worst roasting they ever
suffered.
The Brick Co. had everything
else on the place covered by insur
ance, but not one dollar did they
have on the barn oi its contests
The blaze must have been set by
fi ebugS.
BRANHAM S BABN.
At a little after 11 o’clock t his
forenoon an alarm was turned in
from the “Jonah" box, No 31 and
few seconds later Nos. 1. and 2. and
the Trucks were flyying down Broad
Street.
The blaze was found to be in an
old vacant barn on the Branham
property, better known as the LDI *j
place on (he banks or the Etowah, in
the Fifth Ward.
Nos. 1 and 2. quickly connected
their hose and soon had a stream on
the roof, and the fie out.
The firemen deserve much credit
fer their remarkably swift and effect
ive work this morning, all but Bi 1
McLeod and Kale Dempsey who had
the nozzle*and threatened to put the
Hustler ( which is so read) out.
There is a krew of barn burners in
this kouamunity and it is believe !
that they are from K< x v’s
army. If they are kaptured they wil
be promptly kourt marshalled. Novi
is the time tn subscribe.
