And now we find many of the
Evans leaders who think that the
editor of the “ Jonah ’/vill have to be
“muzzled
7he editor of the “Jonah” not
only enjoys the reading of hisowu
editorials but has the pleasure of
associating with himself, Some
people were born to enjoy a picnic
anyhow.
At a caucus of the faithful it IE
claimed that a majority of those vot

Max Meyerhardt and^J). B Hamilton

General Evans says he“weuid'nt
know a ring if he met it in the
road.” and fearing lest some one
would suspect him of knowing any
thing of poLtics he has forsaken
the ring of his church bell —for a
season.
Here's the way th» Augusta He
rald, one of the Evans papers,
sizes up the situation :
“The charge that the judges of
our state are “political” judges
has aroused all Georgia. There is
a calling fer proof which must be
respected.
We have frequently said that it is
a grander and better thing to be a
consecrated minister of God than it
is to dabble in politics. General Ev
ans himself said so two years ago
when democracy called on him to go
down into Emanuel county and speak
for the party—. Augusta Chronicle.
Mrs Charlotte Miller, an aged wo
man of New Ycik City, was blown
off of a pier into the East River. The
fierce gale inflated her skirts, and she
floated until two [men rescued her
Mrs Miller had a basket in her hand
during the entire exeprince but she
gathered no shells from the sea.
If there are anv more old wm
debts due .the old soldiers and
that are to be paid in political
offices, let tlmm be paid to the pri
vates. The generals didn’t d® all
the fighting, but they got most of
the pay and all the accommoda
tions until the war lasted—Sparta
Ishmaelite.
Atkinson tells of his legislative
record and the boomers about
“brag,” “brag.” General Evans
tells of his record as a soldier and
the Atkinson papers give him a
respectful report. The boomers are
desperate, while the Atkinson
press is confident.
The Daily Dispatch suggests to the
Evans Club of Chatham county that
it offer a free lunch to its members
to get them together at its next
meeting, if another meeting is to be
held. Crow, not bologna sausage
will be cheerfully furnished the
Evansites throughout Georgia on
Aug. 2.—Savannah Despatch
From the news report of the
speeches being made in the State
by General Evans and Mr. Atkin
t-on by the Journal aid Constitu
tion one would think, that the great
and eloquent old Atlautiau was
just having a duck fit to get a joint
debate out of the poor little wool
hat-too-young- to-be- a soldier
from Coweta—hut Clark Howell j
will tell you differently.
THE HUSTLER OF ROME. WeDNESDAY APRIL 25. 1894.
Let Max Meyerhurdt, the wet nurse
of the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club
of Rome, write one m< ru column of
slush like that of Sunday, and then
drag himself out or sight of those who
hold sacred the memories that dus
ter around the heroes who fell in the
605., and die. Shame on such infa
rnous methods.
Georgia Democrats are choosing a
leader. Do they want a known Dem
ocrat, one who has never failed to
respond to his parties call, or do they
want a min who has proven by the
present campaign that he tn >ws noth
ing of the party's war-fares?
If your county is s> overwhelming
ly for Evans, why dont you yeild the
Atkinson mens request for a prima
ry.? Is not a primary more democratic
than the cut and dried program of
a ring manipulated mass meeting.
Primary is the watch word this year
in all the counties that are willing for
the ‘ therside" to show its strength
In Bartow its different.
A uniformed delegation of G. A
R. is to maich in the procession in
Atlanta on memorial Day. Atlanta
is running this sort of thing in the
ground. —Augusta Herald.
Atlanta certainly is . But then At
lanta wants all the G. A. R. votes of
Georgia, for her candidate, Gereral
Evans. It‘s Atlanta's way.
When Southern men are driven to
srtch an extremity that they would
lug into political campaign, for par
tizan purposes, the memory ®f the
fallen heroes of a eause as sacred to
the Sot:‘hern breast as that of the
Los: eau e, then indeed baa] despair
perched upon tlieir standards and
true patriotism been driven out by
by sheer desperation.
Mr. Atkinson put Reverend Ev
ans on notice in the joint debate
iu Rome, that he was going to or
ganize a ring of his owu and let
all of the wool hat boys and pri
vates join it, and that the ring
would extend all over the State. A
day or two ago the old General
woke up and saw Atkinson had
“done it.”
The Constitution and Journal
may be big newspapers, but when
it comes to politics, and an Atlan
ta man wants something, there is
no end to the dirty methods to
which they will resort. It would
seem that such big papers would
be able to at least tote fair m their
news columns—but the masses
know they do not.
The Journal is full of the ‘‘morn-,
ing Sorehead” and General Evans
while the Countitution teems wish the
“Sap head" and General Evans. No
wonder the Average Atlantian looks
to Peachtree Street for a sensation
that would break tne monotony —
yet a little while and the wool hat
boys will put Bill Atkinson in the
Governors mansion and they will
have the sensation.
The exposition movement gains
strau. th daily. Yon can’t down an
enterprise that is backed by Atlanta
Atlanta Commercial.
• And we are proud to know that
the City of Atlanta does not permit
the Atlanta ring to unload old expo
sition grounds on her at fabulous
prices. Great is Atlanta but her po
litical bosses are reeking with korrup
tion.
WILL THE GOODS BE DELIVERED
Solicitor or General Fite, of the
Cherokee circuit will be a candidate
for the judgeship of that circuit.
Mr. Fite has held the office of
Solicitor for four consecutive terms,
and in the last twojraces for it, had no
opposition. He is an able lawyer and
will make an excellent judge.
Judge Milner, the present judge
of the Cherokee circuit, it is said,
will be asked to be promoted to the
supreme court bench.—Atlanta
Journal.
Gus Fite may succed Tom Miles
but will Tom Miles climb higher?
We doubt it seriously and more than
that we doubt if the Judge could
roost longer on the present rung.
WINE AND WOMEN.
Bismarck has lost uoue of frig
old time gallantry. It was arrang
ed by the deputation of ladies who
personally visited him to present
the 400 bottles of finest Rhenish
wines contributed from Baden,
Hesse and the Palatinate that each
of them should kiss his hand upon
being presented, but the old sol
dier kissed them instead, and not
upon their hands, either.

BLEEDING KANSAS’
The New York Evening Post
stirred up a hornet’s nest recently
when it contained the editorial
remark “we d » ’jot want any more
states until wv can civilize Kan
sas ”
Mr. J, W . Gleed, a citizen of the
Grasshopper Stat j roasted the Post
and New York in a paper in the
Forum.
He refers to New York as hav
ing four times the population ot
Kansas, 20 times as many papers
and 1.560 miles lot-s railroads.
The writer also sententiously
alludes to the fact that four times
the population of Kansas, New
York has nine times as many con
victs in the penitentiary and that
four fifths of all the children be
tween 7 and 18 years of age are
enrolled in the public schools in
Gov. Waite’s state yet in Governor
Flower’s territory less than one
half are so accredited.
A pregnant fact to which Mr.
Gleed seemingly alludes is the law
recently passed in New York
which repuires cats running at
large to have collars encircling
their neck, but tor some inexpli
cable reason he failed to call at
tention to the mark of servitude
and ownership which Croker, Div
vers and others of that Hke, com
pell their henchnceu to wear. In
conclusion of his very caustic ar
ticle which the Post very serious
ly invoked, Mr. Gleed says that
Kansas may lack ritual and rega
lia, but that it has uo Astor who
moved to Londott, bought, a news
paper and baited his hook for a
peerage or its equivalent. To ad«
to the pungency of his paper and
rub salt into the already smarting
wounds, the Kansas satirist closes
with the remark that in New York
there are thousands of coachmen,
footmen, butchers and housemaids
all clad iu livery to prevent any
mistake being made in distin
guisbing them from their superi
ors. This was the uukindestcut of
al l . The Post should learn wisdom
and “not m< nkey with a buzz
saw.”
MASS MEETING VS. I’RIMARv.
■ The kickers iu this county on the
mass meeting are too pert.lt has been
the usual custom in this ;nd nearly
all the counties of the state to elect
delegates to the gubernatorial con
vention by mass meetings, and quite
a number of them have already called
mass meetings to elect delegates to
the August convention and some of
them even earlier than Bartow.—
