From the rate at which ‘Did P tty the morning Jonah,” claims to be se curing new subscribers the average advertiser begins to wouder if the •‘Jonah’’ had any reader at a ll , to begin with . The Hustler of Rome is the only Rome Daily in the city. Hence it is and has been for a long fine the people’s paper. Never in the history of Floyd county has there been such ft war made on a Democrat, such as the organized fight of the so called Democratic Evans Club ismakii g on Hon. W. Y. Atkinson. Shall such methods succeed in Floyd Democracy. Watch the polls next Saturday and hear the voice us the “wool hat boy's” thunder its con demnation. Watson’s daily Populist paper is to appear June the Ist. It is not stated when it will disappear. —Albany Herald. It will be but a quesuon of time for no inexperienced third party editor can hope to cope f or more than one campaign with such ex perienced “sore heads” as the At lanta Constitution, The Covington Enterprise has the following: “It shows that the advocates of Col Atkinson are hard pressed for record material when they have to go back over a third of a century in order to get something upon which to attack Gen. Evans ’’ What political record has Gen Ev ans since a third of a century ago? If he has one it is about time his friend s were bring ng it out. —Macon Tele - graph. In a few days we shall hear from most of the Atkinson counties, and then the processoin of Evans coui - ties will begin its march with hardly an interruption.—Constitu tion. Thus does the Constitution pre pare for the defeat that it sees looming down on its candidate. The Atkinson procession has just started and before its last county wheels past, the Constitution will be using the Alabama Jonah tac tics ‘ Mark that prediction.” Brecsiuridge’s to serve his constituents faithfully and glouriously, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, recalles a story of Gen.

The following affidavits have been sent to the Telegraph for publication: State of Georgia, County of Clinch. —Personally appeared be fore me, R. L. Rochels, a minister of the Gospel, who resides in the county of Clinch, R. G, Dickerson, chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee for the county of Clinch, aud R. M. Crum, a mem ber of the executive committee for the count}’ cf Clinch, who on oath say that they heard Capt. Roan B. Johnson, who is an Evans man, and present Representative of Clinch county in the Georgia Leg islature, remarked in their pres ence that he was offered money by F. M. O’Brien of the city of At lanta to defray the expense of Ev ans men to the Democratic mass meeting held at Homerville on Saturday, May the 12, 1894, Rev. R. L. Rochels, R. G. Dickerson, Chm’n Dem.

Register, Clerk Superior Court Clinch County, A DAISY PARTISAN. The Augusta Chronicle, one of “the'’ Evans partisan sheets of Georgia, is a daisy. Under the heading of “yesterday’s Prima ries” it says: “At first glance it may appear that the result of yesterday’s pri maries was a crushing defeat foi Gen Evans. As a matter of fact it was a victory. Six votes for Gen. I Evans and fourteen for Mr Atkin son may appear ominous, but when the facts are known there is no occasion for alarm.” “Every county which went for Mr. Atkinson yesterday was con ceded to him. Murray county was confidently, placed in the Evans column, and the Evans men would have been surprised and disap pointed if the result had been otherwise. There was great anxie ty as to Hall Having four votes, it is an important county, and it was greatly feared that Mr. Atkin son would capture it. On the con trary, however, it gave a good ma jority for Gen. Evans, and thus the only county in which there was a close contest repudiated the egotism and arrogance of the Cow eta statesman. If every county that went to Mr. Atkinson was conceded to him, why was General Evans and the Atlanta lawyers, tearing -up the face of the earth all over those same counties al) last week? Why were a majority of those counties claimed so persistently by the Evans press? Murray, by a majority of five, aud Mr. Atkinson had never made a speech within her borders, while on the night previous to action Mr. W. R. Rankin, a member ot the legislature, made an Evans speech at Spring Place for Atlan ta’s candidate. And then m Hall. How does the Chronicle account for the pres ence in Hall of O'Brien, Starns <t Co., with Atlanta boodle and li quor —Yes fourteen for Atkinson and six for Evans is “a victory.” But a few more “victorys” of that sort and General Evans will ba like the red-headed Alabamian who undertook to harvest Oats. Editor Hal Moore grows more desperate as the campaign pro gresses and the more despearte he. grows, the more scarce becomes campaign r odder. THE TWO RECORDS.

When they remember its course of suppression and misrepresenta tion in the Hill-Cleveland cam paign of 92, the people are not surprised at the absurd antics of the Atlanta Constitution in the matter of the Alabama nomina tion. —Atlanta Journal. “Nyther” are they surprised at its summersaults, antics, gyrations and koutortious in the present Gubernatorial campaign in Geor gia. For months the “Sore head” has been wilfully misrepresent ing Mr. Atkinson and knowingly lying about various incidents in his campaign. To such an exient is this true, here in Rome, we know many of its readers who, while they read it through habit, still look for the news elsewhere and in smaller aud more reliable papers. WONDERFU LSPO N T A NIE TY. The present campaign for the governorship is remarkable for the fact that there has been a sponta neous uprising in favor of the At lanta candidate. To begin with, he waa actually called into the race by one hundred counties that fell all over each other in order to as sure the Atlanta man that they would be only too glad to vote for him. It has not been necessary for the Atlanta manipulators to raise a fund, and scatter agents and or ators throughout the State. He met his opponent on the stump four times, but he has con sidered it unnecessary to take an other such dose. Oh, the gorgeous wonder of that spontaneous spontaniety. It wr" 1 hardly necessary for any thing like the following letter to be writen but somehow it was penned. As we know s now, however, it was unavailing: Atlanta,May 9th 1894 Col G.H. Golucke, Crawfordville Ga.—Dear Sir: lam glad you have put off the nomination in Ta’iaferro and I desire that we shall aid you as much as possible from here to cany that county. Please have three men appointed in each militia district at once to work for our side on the day of the nomination. Our friends in Au gusta will help you in whatever way they can, if you will confer with them immediately. Write here at once, although [ will be gone, your letter and request will receive due attention. Please see Beazley and other friends. Hastily and gratefully your friend. Clement A. Evans There it is At'anta and Augusia the head centers of the Evans mon ey will help in “wha*- ever way they can.” Three men in each militia district! Was any such spontaniety ever seen before? A SAD “MISTAKE”—FOB EVANS “A week after Oats has defeated Johnson the Constitution still | claims Alabama for the sore heads and in the same paper says editor ialy of the campaign in Georgia: “It is possible that some of our readers who are not thoroughly familiar with the situation may be under the impression that Col. Atkinson gained a signal advan tage in the primaries of Saturday, aud is decidedly in the lead. This is a mistake.’’ And yet according to the Au gusta Chronicle, anoter partisan paper, Mr. Atkinson carriedffiev e out of seven counties andf n out of twenty votes. d ftt 'l Os the two counties care , General Evan., Mu rrv i ? th iUl Afk b: himandcoD AJ the Atkinson people, an d withstanding the fact than ' kinson did uot speak i nho r General Evans earried it I fivevote,. ed w.lh liquor n„d A ,, « lers were present ip their and General Evans la jtroud of his spindid vict On etc. S I o, % re.'
