THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THURSDAY MAY 10. 189 A.
'I he Possum Trott Gazette has
employed a preacher on its circu
latiou So handy about taking up
a collection doncherno? Let the
Atlanta Journal now swear that
this is a reflection on Rev, C. A
Evans.
While at No. 4’s Engine house
in the Fifth Ward on Fireman’s
day, some one proposed “three
cheers for Bill Atkiusou, the next
Governor of Georgia,” and they
were given with a will. The At
laut* Candidate was not “in it.”
The Harmony Grove Echo make<
this business note. - “lhe Evans.How
ell,Rich ardsou Co.. of Atlanta, deal
ers in public offices and]; Georgia spo: s
have several drummers on the road,
most of them lawyers without a job
who expect to get one if that compa
ny! an elect a man they can con
tro'.”
Gen . Evans carried the majority
of the counties (if Coffee is not
counted) aud the majority of the
votes Saturday. He has made the
good start predicted for him.—
Augusta Herald.
Mr Atkinson carried the majori
ty of the counties (if Richmond is
not counted) and the majority of
the votes Saturday . Hehasmaae
a much better start than hisfriends
hoped.—Macon Telegraph.
It will be funny to hear the
Republican explanations of the
election in Tie Third Ohio Con
gressional District, which gave P.
•I. Soma big majority, Dayton,
which gave McKinley for Govern
or 565 majority last fall, went
Democratic. Oth' r Redublican
strongholds gave similar returns
Thus it will be seen that even in
Ohio all the people do not believe
the Democratic party is responsi
ble for all the evils under the sun.
This will be a severe check to a
great many Republican papers and
orators, who had demonstrated
very couclusivelo to themselves at
least that the Democrats were to
blame for everything—even Coxey
aud his army.—Baltimore News.
Old “Potty'’ the “Jonah”, says
that “of the Atkinson delegates,
so far, not one was elected by pri
mary.” Well now let’s see, Elbert
and Teirell elected two delegates
each for General Evans and Bald
win elected two and Meriwether
four for Atkinson,all by primaries
while Richmond rushed into an
illegally called and unusually con
ducted mass meeting of less than
“500 persons.” and elected Evans
delegates. As to the manner of
election of delegates in Mr. Atkin
son’s other counties. Clinch and
Coffee let the “Jonah” man read
the Editorial colums of the Atlan
ta Journal. The Tribune would tell
the truth, perhaps if it knew it,
but the Tribune lacks enterprise —
its too dead to hustle around and
got the facts.
The best friends of Gen. Evaug
have uo harsh words or unkind
insinuations for Col. Atkinson. It
is not that we love Atkinson lees
ljut that we love Georgia more.—
Butler Herald.
If this statement is true the
general must have mighty
good friends, for if there was ever
a campaign fought with more un
fair insinuations, not to say bald,
faced falsehoods, than there has
been on the part of some of Gen.
Evans’supporters history does not
record it. — Macon Telegraph.
The LaGrange Graphic asks:
“Whodid Mr. Atkinson mean
by the "men who control” in his
recent circular letter? Was it the
wool bat boys who do the voting or
the little cliques who are to be
found in almost every county try
ing to control politics?”
Any man who knows anything
of Georgia politics knows that the
very men who control in this state
are the men who vote. They are
the men to whom Mr. Atkinson
referred and they are with him
from South Carolina to Alabama
aud from Tennessee to the ciast.
Watch the counties as they vote
aud you will see who are the men
who control.
EVANS PAPERS OUT OF FODDER
The Maeon News resents the
statement that the Moon is pub
lished in Macon. The Moon is the
paper that ridicules General Evans
war record by saying its negro
pressman was thinkingof running
on h s record because he has whip
ped all the eoons around the de
pot, and also ail the old soldiers
by offering war records at reduced
prices.
The Moon is published in Mil
ledgeville, and is the champion of
Mr. Atkinson for governor .—At
lanta Journal.
Now thals a lovely kick —Just

other eld veteran, to Stanton
True, the Constitution has muz

record alone.
The Editress of the Moon is one
of Georgia’s sweetest and noblest

the paper that undertakes to cap

SENATORIAL DRIFT.
Mj. A. O. Bacon of Macon was

doubtless know he is a candidate for
United States senator,to be elected
by the next general assembly. Maj.
Bacon is a very affable gentleman and
made many friends while here. —Jas-

If the “men who control” in
Rome will give the people a chance
Floyd county will stand in the
Evans column six votes. —Cour-
ant American,
Had the Evans partisans ot
Bartow emulated the example set
by the Executive committee o
Floyd then “the men who” control’
the wool hat boys would control
Bartow couaty and put Bartows
four votes in the Atkiusou column
along with Floyds six. The Floyu
Executive Committee was “con
troled” by Atkinson men—hence
Floyd’s democratic action. Tl e
Courant man is excusable—he
evidently dont know right from
wrong.
