THE HUSTLER OF ROME. WEDNESDAY MAY 2, 189
We congratulate General Evans

makes thb methods of the first

it in the road,

Editor Shaver , the able editor
of the I9alton Argus, resents the
.imputation that the voters of
Whitfield county can be delivered
body and soul, to Mr. Atkinson—
Auguta Chornicle.
If Shaver knows all about Whit
fields vote maybe he can tell,
“how cum” Whitfield went to the
third party in the last county elec
tion.
General Evans’ henchmen could
not permit their man to eng -ge in
further joint debate, because it
might have a tendency to disrupt
the paity. But the politicians who
have rallied around the Atlanta
candidate care nothing for party
harmony in those cou uties where
they control the machinery—for
the proof note their early action
and the “jumped up” cut and dried
mass meeting methods in obtain'
mg county deligates.
The Jasper County News,which has
been taking notes of the gubernato
ril campaign remarks that in 1859
Gen. Evans voted against a bill allow
ing the Confederate privates to elect
their own officers. In 1894 the Gener
a' is exerting a'l bis powers ”1 orgai
t zing confederate privates into clubs
to vote for himself. In 1859, the Gen
eral thought the people incapable ol
electing their own rulers. In 1894 he
has the audacity to ask the votes oi
the very men he formerly sought to
disfranchise.
By referring to back files of the
Constitution the Evans men will see
that in the race between Mr. Atkin
son and Hon. W, H. Flemming
for speaker of the house, the Consti
tution insisted that Flemming had a
walkover and the day before the
election, * headed' * a “skeer head“
with “Speaker Flemming.' 1 The Con
stitution is again whistling through
a graveyard, where lies the freshly
buried hopes of another of the vic
tims it has lead to political death.
FOUND NEW EVANS CONVERTS.
A gentleman who appeared to
have been fed well all his life
came into Vidalia yesterday on the
west-bound train and introduced
himself as a traveling man foi
Gen. Evans. Os course we always
welcome strangers into our town,
aud nearly all the drummers will
tell yon that Vidalia never fails to
give every man’s consideration ;
but the drummer in question cer
tainly feund himself confronted by
an Atkinson crowd, and conse
quntly he made no converts for
his man in Vidalia.
Now we confess is discour
aging to a fellow who naay b*-
workmg for commission, but if he
has a fixed salary aud gets his ex
peases paid why should he care? —
especially if he does hie duty in
urging his claims. —Vidalia Star
THE PRIVATE SOLDIER NOT IN IT
There must be nacre generals and
colonels who have survived the war
than privates, to judge from the fact
that one rarely hears of the private
soldier. All the civic rewards are
industriously claimed by those who
had commissions in their pockets.
There seems to be as great a lack ol
official places in times of peace as
there was painful lack of trees during
times of war, as was profoundly re
counted by a’federal soldier after one
of tiie hard fought battles in North
ern Virginia.
‘I tell you,“ said he excitedly, to
i group of interested auditors, *“liie
r aiu of shot and shell was something
fearful. It mowed men down like
grass.**

asked one of tbe group.
Tree, h—]!“ he blustered out.
There wr Vnt trees enough for gthe
officers. * * —Savannah Dispatch •
AN INTERESTING ITEM
Col. Durand, the Atlanta cor
respondent of the Macon Tele
graph, sends his paper the follow
ing interesting communication:
“If General Evans is not run
ning hie gubernatorial race on his
war record,” said a gentleman—a
member of the city council, by the
way—to the Telegraph, “1 d like
to know why he gather 1 together
his best workers and took them
over to rhe Birmingham reunion.”
The point turns out to be well
taken, as the published, as well as
the unpublished list of those who
went over to Birmingham will
show. The general’s official organs
however, account for his campaign
work at Birmingham on the
ground of “spontaniety
“I happen to know,” continued
the speaker, “that General Evans
and his advisers actually made a
slate of workers for the Birming
ham reunion. They made up a list
of men they considered best to
work among the Georgia veterans
who went over to the reunion, for
votes and to create that “spoutai.i
ety” you have heard so much
about among old vets who could
not vote, of course, for their can
didate, but who could make a noise
with their mouths.
“You talk about that Evans
caucus in Maoon the day Senator
Colquitt was buried as being a
sample of the way Evans cam
paign work is being done. That is
nothing.
They do not miss a single chance,
especially to work upon the old
soldiers, regardless of the occasion.
And, by the way, there was at least
one Judge on the bench who was
invited to go over to Birmingham
to work among the veterans fa
Evans, aud who accepted the in
vitation.
It appears to be all right when
a Jadge leaves the bench to work
for General Evans, cut the eyes of
Gen. Evans’ adherents the judici
ary is corrupted, if a solicitor or
bailiff is known to favor Col. At
kinson’s candidacy.
The echo of the “spontaneous”cali
for Evans seems to have met a sud
den death, it was so badly criplad it
never lived tn get out of Atlanta.—
Atkinson is the winning man He
is getting the more popular every,
day He is the fighter of today just
as Gen . Evans was a third of a cen
tury ago.— Eastman Times Journal.
THE TWO RECORDS.
WHAT EACH CANDIDATE DID WHILE
IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Hon W Y. Atkinson wasamem
ber of the legislative from Coweta
county from 1886 to 1894. Hon
C.A. Evans was State senator
from Stewart eounty in 1859—60.
Here are the records the twomen
made, by which we impartially
judge their character as statesmen.

CHARGE.
“It is said that wherever possi
ble the Atkinson contingent dis
continued the memorial exercises
for the reason thatthey were afraid
of the Confederate sentiment. This
is politics with a vengeance.”
The above was said by Hal
Moore,of the Macon evening News,
and now in all good humor we call
on Mr. Moore for the name of a
single place where any one “dis
continued the memorial exercises
for the reasen that th«y were afraid
of the Confederate sentiment.’ 1
We challenge editor M*ore to
the proof. And we insist that he
furnish the names of those of
whom “it is said.” Editor Moore
well knows that there is not a
section in Georgia where any such
an infamous spirit could live, for
less rule. Name your authority er
name the places, or correct the
