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. ANNIE DELLE DOTS.

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 (voiitinued on page 4 ) CTV ITl' 10 Il I rAll hno.

NG MAY 15. 1894. ismsisw. “Docs General Evans Endorse Boodle Work?' ‘•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 Gen.
