rottenness.
Below, we publish one of a number
O s similar paragraphs,: clipped from
the Atl-nta supplement of the mor
ni<f “Jußsh. ,
Glessner.late of Ohio,edits theGnffin
Sun He opposes Evans, and the bur
den of his opposition ’8 “down with
Confederate Brigadiers.’’Seifert( Re
publican),late of New York,edits the
Macon Telegraph. The song Im sings
is ‘we have had enough of ex Confed,
grates" These are the only daily news
n apers in Georgia,so far as we know
which support Mr Atkinson. John A
CockeriH,of New York, editor of the
Advertiser an extreme Republican,
who has never lost an opportunity to
abuse the South is fighting Gener
al Evans because he was a C infed
erate Brigadier. These men rallied
around Atkinson when he spoke con
temptuously of the people’s kindly
sentiments for old soldiers. Think,
Georgians, think! Tne great mass of
our Northern citizens do not endorse
attacks upon ex—Confederates. The
People’s ill.
Now lets see what there is in the
above statement:
Lie one: Mr Glessner 'does not
cry “down with Confederate Brig
adiers.” Mr. Glessner is a Northern
man it is true but he was only 8
years old when the war began ; he
has lived in the South for many
years and has done more to build
up Georgia, since residing here,
than has the editors of the “Atlau
ta Peoples Will” and the morning
‘•Jonah” of Rome —and unlike
them he is a democrat.
Lie two: Serfert is not a Re
publican but a democrat.
Lie three: He is not late of
New York,” but lives there.
Lie four: He does not edit the
Macon Telegraph, nor has he
ever edited it.
Lie five: He does not sing said
song but admires the brave Con
federate for he has tasted of him
on the battle field.
Lie Six:—Well, lie Six may not
be a lie, for it may be that the
editor ‘’of The Atlanta Peoples
Hill” is like General Evans was
before the war, a “Know-Nothing.”
But everybody else in Atlanta
knows that there are at least half
a dozen other staunch democratic
dailies doing battle for the only
democrat who is running on a dem
ocratic record—W, Y. Atkinson of
Coweta.
Lie Seven:—John A. Cockerell,
has never “rallied around” Mr.
Atkinson and the base slanderer
ff ho runs the “Atlanta Peoples
Hill” knows it, and knows more
he knows that.it was Clark Howell
aud other Atlantans who slobbered
a B over old Cockerell, the south
hater, during his recent visit to
Georgia.
Lie eight: Mr, Atkinson has
never spoken “contemptously of
* e peoples kindly sentiment for
d soldiers ’ and we defy the liars
>he publisher of the same to
ow from one single speech of
ji Atkinson's one word which
** hU PPort their slanderous
statement.
Now these eight bare faced false-

0 oriously false, and the editor

ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING MAY 25. 1894.
the day previous to the primary in
Floyd county believe that it is do
ing right? Does the Rev .C. A . Ev
ans, Atlanta’s candidate, believe
that the Tribune is “purifying
politics” when it circulates what
he and the Tribune both know to
be printed h» s?
Is it fair to flood a county with
such false hood just prior to an elec
tio: , and so near the election that
the lalse charges may not be refuted?
Is this Democratic in a Democratic
primary ?
Gen Evans andhis folloerws may be
lieve that such methods are purify
ing politics, but the fighting demo
crats who want a fighting democrat
ic statesman for a leader in the big
fight of ’94 would scorn to stoop to
sharp practice.
Atkinson will win w.t'.iou: it,he is
a veteran democrat.

M IS THIS?
Are the Wool Hat Boys of
Floyd
TO BE BOUGHT LIKE SHEEP
Uy The Atlanta Boodlers? Here is
The Plot Exposed by a Colunibu"
Lawyer Through Frank and Wil 1
Haralson ot Atlanta.
That “foul slander” cry, raised
by the Rome Tribune seems to be
purely an attempt to “ink the wa
ters,” that the exposed rascality
might escape in its own dark shad
ows.
Here is the story from the Co.
lumbus Ledger giving names and
details, places and dates and is
well worth the while for ever y vo
ter in Rome and Floyd to scar, its
information closely. Heres the let
ter :
The Atlanta manipulators of
Gen. Evans’ candidacy have indeed
fallen upon desperate measures in
their efforts te elect their candi
date.
They relize that they are almost
defeated now and have prepared to
resort to measures which will be
repuiateij by the people of the
great Commonwealth of Georgia.
The inf irmation comes to the Led
ger directlv from ’ a prominent and
well-known Columbus gentleman
now in Atlanta, that the Atlanta
Evans Club has prepared to attempt
to purchase the votes of Muscogee
and Floyd, two of the large counties
which act next Saturday.
The letter is given below. Read
and judge for yourself:
Evening Ledger. Columbus. Ga.,
I desire t» give you a bit of im-.
portant information which should
be communicated te all Atkinson
men, at once. I am here attending
ihe Supreme Court aud may not
return to Columbus in time to do
so myself.
Yesterday the “Evans Club” of
(his city had a meeting in which
they passed a resolution to send a
‘Knight of Labor” man to Colum
ous, Saturday with as much boo
dle as is necessary to carry Musco
gee county for Gen . Evans, and
he same resolution included the
county of Floyd, which also acts
this week
My information comes straight
aud is reliable.
Messrs. Will aud Frank Haral
son are brothers aud partners
practicing law in tb.e city. Frank
Harralson is better known as the
ex-State librarian.
Frank is a strung Evans man.
Will is a strong Atkinsou man.
Here-to-fore, Will has kept his
own secret, and not even did Frauk
know his politics, although he was
of firm belief that he was too for
Evans.
Frauk was uuable to atteud the
Evans meeting, being out of the
city, but by special request of
Frank Will represented him. He
was present aud with his own ears
heard all of the deliberations of
the meeting.
N L. Trammel was the leader,
the a ecial promulgator and advo
cate of the above resolution It
passed and passed unahmousy
Tne result is Trammel left
trie city today for county,
there to do the corrupt work.
This is not all the meeting dis
cussed the advisability of issuing
a circular to those of the Evans
people in the counties to act tins
week, stating that, unless Evans
was inuniphaut this week, he was
defeated aud might as well with
draw from the race.
But that failed to pass because
of the liability of that circular
falling into Atkinson's hands, or
the hands of his friends,
Harralson (Will) made the above
statement to Win A. Little and J.
M.DuPree of Montezuma, personaly.
Therefore, it is reliable.
Yours Hurriedly,
B. 8 Miller.

CROWDS AT SUMMERVILLE
Listen to a Speech of an Hour and
Thirty Minutes Much Enthusiasm
Among the Wool hat Democrats
Speke at Trion Factory Last Night.
Summerville, Ga., May 24. 1894.
(Special)—Hod. W. Y, Atkinson
addressed an audience consisting
of something over four hundred
people, at this place today.
The crowd was larger than an
ticipated owing to the fact that a
large number of the farmers ot
this county had been in attend
ance on court for the past week,
and it was expected that a good
many of them would take advan
tage of the beautiful w eather «nd
apply themselves to heir crops.
Mr Atkinson made a plain straight
forward talk and was well reeixed
by all present,and the mnmber of
heavy applausts that inters pt resed
his speach bespoke the fact that tie
people of Chattooga county were with
aim,”hot and heavy’ and no mattea
whether successful or
in the campaign he will ever hold a
warm place in the hearts of m uiy of
Chattooga’s best citizens.
He began his speech by alluding
to the unfair, fight that was being
made upon him by some of the dai
ly papers of this state and were i 6
not for the confidence that he had i:
the people of Georgia, believing that
they would cast their votes as fret
citizens in accordance to the dictates
of reason and. justice, and refuse to
be dictated to by such papers of this
state as conid not be relied upon
He would feel discouraged, indeed.
Ab an example of the injustice
that had been done him, he refer
red to the special sent from Hall
county charging him with having
called General Evans a “superan
uated idiot”, and several others of
like nature all of which be brand
ed as false. After briefly giving
his position upon the national
issues, he referred to General Ev
ans as his lovable opponent, say
ing that he had no fight te make
upon Evans’ personal character,
but that in person in announcing
himself as a candidate for any of
fice, then his public record opens
;o discussion.
He proceeded discuss his rec
ord as a public servant, and also
'hat of General Evans. He then
referred to the way in which Gen.
Evans’ managers were conducting
the fights, that they were not sat
isfied with the two papers in At
lanta and had started two others,
one of which was called the “Peo
ples Choice,” as if be, (Atkinson)
was not the peoples choice, the
ether was called the Peoples Will”
as if the peoples will was not Will
Atkinson.
In speaking of the manager of
General Evans, he referred to a
little incidence that occurred in
his home. His small son who had
evidently been keeping up with
the campaign, asked his mother:
“Who are General Evans Mana
gers. papa hasn’t got any?” And
upon being satisfied about this
question he then asked if he (Ev
ans would have any managers if
elected for governor. Yes. a few of
them. Those Atlanta politicians
are not spending their money and
time in trying to elect Gen. Evans
for nothing.
He then spoke of the charges
made against hirn and distribu
ted throughout the country in the
shape of “dodgers” etc, in which
he is charged with failing to vote
for a permanent appropriation for
public eehools, voted for the pay
ment of fraudulent bonds
and several others of like nature
all of which were explained by
reference to the Journals of the
House and the exact circum
stances connected with these
chargee.
Mr. Atkinson spoke for one
heur and a halt and the rapt at
tention that was given him
brougbout the entire time is very
uguificant. Chattooga mey be re
ied upon as an Atkinson county,
Cui. Atkinsou will address the
citizens at Trion Factory tonight.
BIG CROWD AT TRION,
Trion Factory, Ga. May, 25 '94
(Special)—Col. W. Y Atkinson,
uie next governor of Georgia, ad
dressed a very large assemblage
of people at this place last night,
tl is speech was received with more
i hap ordinary interest and the
iiithubiasm displayed by the crowd
present in their frequent bursts of
applause is a strong token of the
people’B choice for governor.
In his entire speech he alluded
oGen. Evans in the most respect
.ul terms aud made atttact only
•hi bis public life and his unloyalty
to the democratic party in time of
need.
The main thread of hi-* speech
a'hs directed against the ignomi
neoiM way in wtiicn certain ii leuus
of the General, were carrying on
this fight aud in correcting the
false and malicious charge > made
against him in his private and po
litical lite.
These charges were all cleared
away to the satisfaction of all
present.
Mr, Atkinsou will address the
citizens of Walker county tomor
row at jLnFayetts, Saturday he
