TROUP FOR ATKINSON,
THE COWITA STATESMAN MADE A
RINGING BHEECH IN IAGKANOE
LaGrange, May 14.-This was a
Field day for.Hon. W. Y Atkinson
in Troup. He was met at the
train by a large crowd, who gave
three lustry cheers for Georgia’s
next governor.
The court house was packed,
there being many ladies present.
He was introduced in an eloquent
speech by Dr. F. M. Ridley.
Air. Atkinson made a splendid
speech and was cheered to the echo
p was in striking contrast to the
tame effort made by Gen. Evans
here a week ago.
It is now perfectly apparent to
all why Gen, Evans’ managers re
fused to allow him to continue the'
joint debates.
Mr. Atkinson made many votes
and Troup can now be safely put
in the Atkinson column.

“A SHAME UPON MANHOOD”
An Insult to Womanhood a Sinful
Example to youth a Menance to
Home Was the Sense of the Mass
Meeting and Their Reasons for
Opposing him.
Lexington,Ky. May 14.—1 f the
W Lite- haired,silver-tongued Breck
inridge could have peeped into the
Lexington opera house this afternoon
at 3 o'clock and have heard what was
being said about him, who were do
ing the taking and who composed
the audience,he would have retreated
and resolved never to show his face
again in the Ashland district.
The meeting to protest against
the reuomination of Col. Breckin
ridge to congress was called for
2:3Uoclock, and an hour before
that time the lower floor of the
house was full. By 2 o’clock the
galleries began to fill and when the
meeting was called at 3 o’clock
there was not standing room, and
some five or six hundred people
had to be turned away. W. B.
Hawkins presided . Upon the same
platform where Col. Breckinridge
received his ovation which gave
him confidence of his re-election,
sat some 100 of the members
of the prominent and most honor
ed families in the county and
some of the best known educators
in Kentucky, There was great en
thusiasm.
The speaker was Elder J.W Ic-
Garvey, who defended the ministeri
al union from the attacks Breckin
ridge made upon it in his speeches
here and at Paris. He contended that
the ministers did have a right to
point out to their flocks the dangers
that lay before.an l that wueu a wolf
was coming to destroy ,them it was
the duty ot the ministers to warn
their flocks in time. Pointing to the
mitto over the stage.which r ad:“Thi
honor and Integrity of Asulaud dis
trict must and shall be preserved,’
he said that he was proad of being a
Kentuckian and that because he was
proud of his state he urged all voters
who were truly patriotic to cast
their votes against the return of this
man to congress.
Hou. Milton J. Durham, comp
trollei of the treasury during
Cleveland's first term, was the
second speaker to address tne
meeting, He scored Col. Breckin
ridge unmercifully. In speaking
of him he said if he had lived an
upright and moral life there
would be little question as to the
advisability of sending him back
to congress. I would rather he bad
good virtue than a silver tongue.
I believe you will say 7 the same
thing at the ballot box. In closing,
Judge Durham said: “I ask you,
in the name of these women, of
these mothersand daughters, and
wives of good citizens, not to re
turn Breckinridge to congress, be
cause I believe it woulu be a dis
grace to the state.’’
This was received with applause.
The following resolutions were
then adopted unanimously and
with loud cheers:
‘•Wherias W.C. P. Breckinridge
has announced himself a candi
date for re-election to congress for
the Ashland district notwithstand
ing his confession under oatu of
flagrant and habitual licentious
ness and hypocrisy therefore'
“Resolved. That we the women
of Lexington and Fayette coui -
ties Kentucky do solemnly protest
against his renomination as the
representative of this district.
“Second, We b°lieve that such
an indorsement of W. C. I’. Breck
inridge at the polls would be a
disgrace to Kentucky, a shame up
on manhood, an insult io woman
hood a sinful example to the

‘•the holier than thou”
Spirits the Campaign are Review
ed ami the Constitution is Roast
ed a Lovely Roast by an Eastman
Roaster.
To the Editor of the Telegrpb;
The Atlanta Constitution in its Sun
day editorial declared' the mass meet
ing system the sole reliance of the
Atkinson men.’’ What a strange as
sertion in the face of the fact that
Dooly county ordered a primary
mi h open polls at all pjecincts and
a majority of the executive committee
are Atkinson men. The Constitution
does not tell this.
And how about Dodge county? The
mcjoiity of the executive committee
are Evans men and ordered a mass
meeting to be held in Eastman Mai
26. The Atkinson men on the com
mittee and by outside petition beg
ged for voting at all precincts so that
Chauncey and the people of that vi
cinity, twelve miles from Eastman,
could vote. But the Evans executive
committee were against a primary
and Chauncey people must go twelve
miles or remain at home. In Dodge
“the mass meeting system seems to
be the sole reliance’' of the Evans
men.
The Constitution jumps on Clinch
and Cherokee for holding mass meet
ings and is silent in regard to Lin
coln that held a mass meeting. Only
119 votes in all were cast in Lincoln
If this mass meeting, with that smal.
vote, had gone for Atkinson tht
Constitution would have pronounced
t ‘highhanded rob j<r as it called
( ue action of other conventions go
iug for Atkinson on baturday. Lin
coln an old and thickly populated
county, with its handful was al
right, but Clinch, a wiregrass county*
thinly populated, committed a crime’
and herA conduct was a' “travesty”
upon Democracy!
1 he Constitufion refuses to oorrec 1
ts error about Telfair and repeats
•he charge that Cobbville wasi-elec.
t d as an out-of-the-way place, eigh
teen miles from the railroad The
Journal made the amende honorable
to the telfair executive committee
when it discovered that Cobbville
was the very centre of the county
and the customary place for holding
conventions.
Col. John L. Day of Lumbei
City, a Strong Evans man is the
chairman of the Telfair executive
committee. The Constitution in
Sunday’s editorial repeats its
charges against Telfair’s execu
tive committee, but is silent about
the “boodle” agents sent to the
county by the Atlanta Evans Club
Does Gen. Evans condone boodle
work? Does he tolerate it and al
low it to stand in his name? Doee
he allow such methods to stand
unrebuked?
To quote from lhe Constitution :
“In the face of such action rhe
party could not present a united
front in its battle with the eaemy,
and a candidate who would coun
tenance such methods wou.d los’
the support of the members ot
his party as he would the support
of his feilow men.” Gen. Evans
must repudiate the work of the
“boodle agents. ”
In 1886 their work was con
doned and the' hoodie agents” of
the Atlanta Gordon Club .vere giv
en positions of honor and high pay
in renumerating for their valuable
services, Eighteen hundred and
eighty-six has been repeated in
the methods of 1894. Will the r -
wards follow as in 1886? Ur will
