THE HUSTLER OF ROME. FRIDAY MAY 25,
The Herald does not believe Mr. |
Atkinson voted to pay repudiated
bonds. We have found nothing in
the record to show that he did.
We are against him, hut we are
fair to him.—(Augusta Herald.
The Herald io right and the
charge has been shown to be in
famously false. Like all the other
charges against one of the best
legislative records ever made in
Georgia, it was made for the sole
purpose of influencing votes by
deceiving voters —Griffin News.
A great many Atkinson men
say that they are opposed to Gen.
Evans because he is a preacher;
that preachers ought not to dab
ble in politics. Their idea then,
is to let thieves and rascals con
tinue to engineer our s'ate and
national affairs—Southern Argus,
According to the editor of the
Argus there are but three classes
of citizens in this country, and,
measuring him by his own yard
stick, we feel no reluctance in say
mg that he is not a preacher. Now
we challenge him to publish the
names of “a great many Atkinson
men” who say tney are opposed
to Rev. C. A. Evans on any such
grounds. There are “a great many
Atkinson men” in Floyd but the
Argus editor can t name even “a
few’’ who he has heard express
said objections.
TOM WATSON A “LULA”
The New York Sun is new hav
ing its sport out of Tom Waieon.
It remarks of him :
“Jumping Tom Watson, the
Cracker Cade, had some glorious
moments as Chairman of the
Georgia Populist Convention on
Wednesday. Tom strangled the
octopus of corruption, broke the
hydra-head of monopoly, pro
nounced the doom of privilege,
sounded to the trembling ears of
wealth his terrible approach,
punched the money-devil in the
midrib, vindicated everything he
didn’t defy, patted the head of
ifuriculture, cook labor by the
hand, and finally jumped three
hundred and five feet straight up
in the air, wrote the Omaha plat
form on a white cloud, and came
d >wn in a scintillating shower of
red edged adjectives. Tom is to be
the Populist candidate for Con
gress in his district again, and the
welkin had better take its door
bells off.”

A LEADER WANTED AGAIN THIS
YEAR
The Populists of Georgia have
named their candidate for gover
nor. He is Judge James K. Hines
of Fulton. The nomination of
Judge Hines for that office means
that the Democracy will have an
other fight on its hands this fal .
. but as it was before so will it be
, next October.
The triumph of Demcc-atic
1 principals will be just as over
, whelming as in 1892. That great
> victory was accomplished by hard
i systematic work, and the same
, kind of work will have to be done
. this year. One of the leaders ol
the last campaign, who showed his
- splendid abilities and fighting
i qualities and who worthily won
i his spurs as one of the ablest cam
i paigners in Georgia, will load the
1 fight again, only this time it will
be as a candidate for governor.
i The Democracy needs as its
, standard bearer the strongest'
i most active, and best equipped
mail for the fight. That man is
W. Y. Atkinson, who will be Geor
gia’s next governor.
WE NEED A STRONG CANDIDATE
It is announced that Judge Hines
1 will almost immediately begin a
speaking tour of the state, and that
. before ti e • lection expects to appear
in every county. Those who know
him are disposed to rate him high as
a campaigner. He is not a bri'liant
. speaker, but he is a man of ability
and foice of character. The circum
stances are such that he will be able
to wage an aggressive campaign. His
p t? bti tilisted with
power, so that it has no record which
he mUst defend. He will be able, no
doubt, to make the best presentation
possible of its theories, and criticise
with vigor and intelligence the rec.
ord made by the democrats.
The task he has undertaken is a
great one, but he Las a certain ad
vantage over the Democratic candi
date. His campaign will begin about
the first of June, and for more than
two mouths he will be unoppossed,
the time and energeirs of the Demo
crats being taken up by the cam
paign for the nomination now going
on. He will be consolidating his
party and, possibly, gaining new re
cruits for it while the Democrats are
fighting each other and possibly
creating bad feeling which will weak
en the candidate finally selected.
The situation will be made
much more doubtful for the Dem
ocrats if, as the result of their
fight, a candidate is nominated
who for any cause is incapable of
meeting Judge Hines in debate
His opponent ought, in the inter
est of the party, to be a man who
is a vigorous and resourceful cam
paigner, well informed od all im
portant public questions, like his
opponent in being in the prime of
life, confident of himself and fa
miliar with political methods.
The Democrats of Georgia are
now practically reduced to a
choice between two men. Which of
them comes nearesr meeting these
requirements?
A Rome capitalist, after viewing
from afar the wool hat boys who
flocked to the Armstrong to shake
the hand of their champion, was
heard to remark : “If I had have
been for Atkinson before, after
seeing that crowd call on him, 1
would now be against him. ” Capt
Pepper was passing, and halting,
asked “Why?” “Why because they
are the commonest poor folks in
the city,” was the reply. “That
may be true of many of them,”
said our democratic post master,
“but bless your soul, these men
have rights and they know that
Bill Atkinson is a statesman and
has always had courage enough to
do battle for the poor man. And
another thing their votes count as
much in the ballot box, as a rich
man s vote.” Rome’s Post Master
is a democrat.
A vote for Gen. Evans means a
vote for pure methods in politics and
the overthrow of the domination of
the politicians.—Max Meyerhardt.
This is nice doctrine, coming as
it does from the pen of one of the
slickest politici ans is North Georgia
but for all that, it does not muddt
the waters to such an extent that
Floyd county democrats can’t see
?900 of Atlanta boodle hugging the
‘floaters” of Telfair and |the $1,2c0
and Atlanta whiskey that captured
Hall. ‘ Pure methods”indeed!
In a neighboring state there was
an Episcopal church which h d
two mission chapels, cemmonly
known as the East End mission
and the North End mission, fiom
the parts of the city where they
were respectfully located. One day
the doctor gave out the notices in
his most distinguished highchurch
lone as follows: “There will be a
service at the Notth End mission
at 3 o’clock and at the East End
at 5 o'clock. Children will be bap
tised at both ends, —Chattooga
News.
The Evans forces are not only
scared but panic-striken. They
had the safe county of DeCalb
down to act June 30th. but they
found too many counties might
pan ®ut next Saturday for $ Atkin,
son. So they had the executive
committee of DeCalb to rescind its
action and advance the date to
May 26th. This is one of the most
unprecedented action of any cam
paign, but it so effectually shows
tne desperation of the Evans
boomers that the moral effect will
more than offset any good that
DeKalb’s four votes may do them
—Griffin News.
A well known Republican said
the other day: “I am for Gen.
Evans not only because I fought
with him in the Confederate army
but because he is a pure good man
and has not been mixed up with
that corrupt Legislative ring.”—
Southern Argus.
Perhaps the holy editor of the
sacred Argus would not object to
divulging the name of this Saint
ly Republican, who has kepted
him self uncontaminated from the
democratic vices that have been
runing Fioyd since the lace war.
That Republican is encouraging
the nomination of Evans because
he wants Hines elected.
Judge Branham, one of Georgia’s
most able attorney’s, has delayed
his departure for Europe until af
ter tomorrow, in order that he
might have an opportunity ot cast
ing a ballot for W.Y. Atkinson.
Judge Branham knows Mr. Atkin
son intimately and says he is one
of the ablest men in the State to
day. In the hands of such a man,
says Judge Branham, the people
can trust all the affairs of jthe
State and matters pertaining to the
Chief Executive, and feel assured
that no better roan can ba found
to govern.
A vote for General Evans means
a vote for one who combines the
bravery of Ney with the piety o'
Jackson; the courage of a hero
with the humoleness of heart that
becomes a minister of God! —Max
Meyerhardt.
“Minister of God! ’ And yet, ac
cording to the statement of a
member of the Rome bar—an Ev
ans man at that—the same pen
that wrote the above would be
drawn through the printed words,
“In the year of our Lord” that ap
pear in blank deeds used by most
Georgia lawyers. Would Max be
willing for the Rev. Clement A.
Evans to open the Rome Public
Schools with bible reading? Shame
on such a hypocrit and such by
pocracy.
The Sandersville Progress ’claims
to have abandoned Gen. Evans be
cause he was a “Know-Nothing,”
thirty years ago. The Sanders
ville Progress needs an editor.—
Brunswick Times.
Gen. Evans has not denied
the charge and it has been pub
lished over the name of Jubilee
Smith, a respected citizen of Stew
art county who says he was the
democratic candidate who oppos
ed Gen. Evans. The Sandersville
Progress man is a Democrat.

GLORIES IN THE CORUPTION,
A special from Washington. Ga'
to the Macon Telegraph says;'
“Tom Felder in his speech here
on Tuesday addmitted to the au
dience that Atlanta sent “boodle”
to Telfair and said Mr. Staru es
and the ‘-boodle” were sent at -.
quest of the Ordinary of Tilf lr
county. Mr. Felder did not eviuce
any shame for the part he took
but rather gloried in it, He Beeniß
to have no appreciative sense o f
the moral quality of his conduct
in the affair. Telfair will be su r .
prised that her Ordinary i Uv i t J
this “boodle” into the county ac d
give countenance to Atlanta inter
ference with the local offairs of
distant counties.”
Let Georgia Democrats under
stand that this same Tom Felder
is a law partner of Judge J. £
Hines, the third party candidate
for governor. Gen. Evans with
his record as a “Know-Nothing be
fore the war” and no democratic
record since the war would beeafier
for Judge Hines to beat. Tom
Felder knows it.
