THE HUSTLER OF ROME
THIRD year.

Filed by the Democrats of
-jchmond County
masses disfranchised
An( l Will not be Bound by the Aetfen
o f a8 ii»p Meeting Called by an Ex
eeutive Committee and
Illegitimate.
Concerning the action of the no
called maes meeting of democrat®
of Richmond county, last Satur
day the Augusta Herald, an Ev
ans paper but •!* ’* Democratic
«heet publishes the following,;
whlC h«ih explain its self:
A mass meeting ot the Demo,
crats of the county is to be called
under the formal protest which is
made today. At the assembled
mftßß meeting tne protest will be
submitted for action. If this sec
ond mass meeting ratifies the pro
tast, action will be had immedi
ately to select and authorize a new
executive committee. This execu
tivecommittee will order a prima
ry or a mass meeting for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to the
gubernatorial The
delegates so selected will go to
the state eonventin and will claim
to be the duly chosen representa
tives of Richmond county. Then
'the state convention will ‘be called
upon to decide. Following is the
protest:
PROTEST.
The gentlemen who assumed to
be, and who, for courieay, will be
called the Democratic executive
committee of Richmond county,
on April resolwed “that a
mass meeting be called at the
court house, in the city of Augus
ta, at 12 o’clock noon.'the sth of
May next, of the Democracy of the
county for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the gubernatorial
convention and for the selection
of a new executive committee. ”
It is respectfully objected that
the above action is illegal unau
thorized and undemocratic and in
no wise binds or obligatory upon
tbeDemocrcy of Richmond county
for the following reason:
First— Because the executive
committee is of doubtful legiti
macy and ha» an extremely ques
tionable title if iudaed it has any
title at all.
Second—Because oftbe mem
bership of the.cominitteo ig invol
ved in doubt and even if the legal
ly of the committee itsolf be
conceded, upon this question de
pends the validity of its present
astion.
Third— Because even if thevali
dity of the committee be conceded,
co lawful quorum thereof was pres-
at the adoption of the forego
ing resolutions.
Jourth—Because in fixing 12
0 clock noon, as the hour for a
®asß meeting the committee has
the well-settled policy
and departed from the unbroken
precedents of the Richmond De—
mocracy for those six years past.
Fifth— Because the fixing of 12
°ck noon, upon a Saturday, as
• time for a Democratic mass
seting, in a community so over
» elnaingly engaged as this in the
C osely conf 111 l p Urßu j tfl e s mau _

of the whole and it being
ROME GEORGIA. TUESDAY EVEN
iraposible for the urbui population
to leave its stores and mills and fact
ories and workshops during the day,
the policy es the Democracy has
been to hold its mass meetings at
night
Such are the unbroken preced
ents for a number of years past.
In 1888 the mass meeting was at
night. In 1890 it was also at night.
In 1892 two mass meetings were
heid, and both were held at night.
The present action runs counter to
Democratic precedent and policy.
A TAILLESS CALF.
■ »
A VERY STANGE FREAK FOR FLY
TIME.
Hugh Montgomery, one of
Floyd countys leadingplanters wss
in the city this forenoon and tells
us that there is a calf on his farm
that is about ten days old and has
no tai) nor has ever had one.
Mr. Mongomery will not name
the calf ‘Thereby” for no tail
hangs there to.
We would suggest that, as “fly
time” is approaching, that Mr.
Montgomery turn the calf into
veal and have it retailed.

GEN. EVANS CARRIES TWO.
Richmsud Ccnntf’s Action to be Con
tested Because of Illegality and
Gross Irregularities. The Wool
Hats are Downing the Atlanta Can
didate.
And now that the smoke of the
first days skirmish has cleared
away, a glance over the field shows
up a days disaster for the Evanes
cent Boomers.
In the battle of the ballot, sev
en counties were engaged on Sat
urday and ag a result wo have the
following figures:
FOR ATKINSON.
Meriwether 4
Baldwin, 2
Coffee,.... .... .... .... 2
Clinch, .... .... '2
Foil EVANS,
Elbert .... .... 2
Terrell .... 2
4
IN DOUBT.
Richmond .... .... .... 6
Ou account of illegalities, both
in the manner of calling the meet
ing and the methods engaged in
by the Evans “snappers” of Rich
mond county, the wool hat demo
crats of that county propose to
bold another mass meeting and in
it decide on either a primary or
another mass meeting for the selec
tion of Gubernatorial delegates.
Then there will be two delega
tion from Richmond and the State
Convention will have to pass on
the claims of them.
The above figures make a cor
rect showing of the developed
strength of the young Statesman
from Coweta and Atlanta’s Candi
date and shows that through the
Evans people have been claiming
the earth, they are not going to get
enough of it to run on.
In the mean time the Atkinson
democrats are continuing the fight
under democratic rules, ever look
ing to the interest of the party
firstand of Mr. Atkinson next,
while in some of the counties
where the Evans men “control,”
democracy is lost sight of in a
blind partisanship that subserves
all interests to the election of
General Evans.
But, mass meetings or primaries
Atkinson will carry about 100
counties and will be Georgia’s
Governor and one of best she
has ever had.
Dr. Wm. Bradford, of Cedartown is
