THE HUSTLER OF ROME. third year. <1 pom® To be Taking Care of the Generals Campaign FRANK RICE AND JNO NELMS KndTn. Ra Ba. Cobb and, Missionary o ßrien Strike Editor Rerille ol Meriwether as a Beautiful Qnartett ol’Anrilic Patriots. Iu his soeech at Carrollton last Monday Gen. Evans said‘There is no politician taking care of my cam paign. A few personal friends.and these among the best men in the city „‘( Atlanta), are overlooking my home work. Ah Genera’, you must be very an sopdisticated,indeed if you do noj know that Frafik P. Rica,chairman o; the Central Evans Dommittee.enjoyi th e reputation of being the shrewdest craftiest politician in Atlanta,anc that because of these qualifications he was chosen to direct your cam paign. No less distinguished in this line is the rare and rubicund John W. Nelms ex Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary, etc., who is re puted to be one of the most active and indurtrious political mixers in the state. The slatmnaking bus inesa has long been a favorite pas time with him, and we daresay he could give points even to Frank Rice. And then there is Ta-ra-ra Cobb, president of the Young Men’s Ev ans Club and ex-president of the Young Men’s Democratic League. He is no slouch himself, when it comes to laying pipes for a“spon tanious movement*’ such as the Evans boom bas been. Frank O'Brien is no tyro in pol itics either. For the past three weeks he has starring it through Georgia with his little hand satchel, and is credited with having made some remarkable conversions to the Evans cruse. We do not pretend to know the secret of his influence, but it is a foregone fact that he deadens the timber wherever he goes. lhese are only sample products of the Atlanta political hot-bed, but it is enough to show that the General 8 campaign is in experi enced hands, and we are surprised that he doesn’t know it. They are moving heaven and earth for their candidate, too, and it is really un kind of the General to refer to their valued services in so flip pant a tone. BOUGHT THE STOCK. DR.
