THE HUSTLER OF ROME THIRD year. w Pi®. 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 _ during, and mercantile busi 8, is, in i( B pr ac ti ca l effect, a o esale disfranchisement of the re n JCr maßßes a,J d tends di do ' H g° Verbme nt by politi -01 'ce holders, professional , c l an d °ther favored leisure in Whicb the P*°P’e a t o. real voio. lata BUIU being a county where of increV Uiban P°P ulation has rnrsi se ' enorm ou ß ly and where the Per e° PUlation ißbuta very small 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.

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 •pending the day in the city.
