Breckenridge is being hit on every side - He will hardly be able i/3 win in the coming election.— Augusta Herald. Until the wool hat democrats of the Banner county have decided to'‘sell oct’\let the Atlanta boodle agent . 3u.arvel further. Polk County holds a democrat ic primary on the First Saturday in June —and Polk is for W. A- Atkinson of Coweta. Female frogs have no voice: onl) the males can sing. This accounts man being a croaker and wo jman a deat and dumb angle. Let the people of Floyd turnout and vote tomorrow and W. Y. Ai - kinson will be the choice of the Banner County democracy, for gov ernor. Col. Bill Clifton, the old war horse of Chatham, has announced himself as a candidate fcr secreta ry of state to succeed General Phil Cook. The Monroe Advertiser failed to carry that county for the Atlant; Confederate. The Advertiser’s one of the few weeklies in Georgia that caught the “me too” epidemic. Atkinson will poll a much heav er per cent of the vote in b ulton county than Evans does in Coweta. —But then Atkinson is a Demo crat, on whose record a label is not needed, Whenever a county selects At kinson delegates it is snap judge ment, and when Evans delegates are selected it is spontaneous up rising of the people. Bosh I—Pem broke Recorder. The unfair tight that is being made on Col. Atkinson by the At lanta Constitution is enough to bring the blush of shame to the cheek of an Egyptian mummy . Yet the Constitution don’t blush. —Chattooga News. It is currently reported on the streets of Rome that the chairman of the Eavans campaign committee has said that if Atkinson was nominated he would not vote for him in the election, what gort of a democrat i s that ?.—Cave Syring Herald. Tomorrow will show Max Meyer- Hardt and his Evans Club that the wool hat democracy of Floyd county can't be controlled by any such methods. Floyd county will wheel nlo the Atkinson column tomorrow. —“Mark that prediction. ” Any democrat who will not sup port the nominee of his party should not be allowed to vote in the primary, no matter if he is a boss.—Cave Spring Her ald. The Herald is right and yet the jivans people have put avowed bird partyites on their county delegations and will compell dem ocrats who vote for General Evans' k to vcte for third partyites who if F elected will come into Rome and transact democratic business. The commonweuier who stole Coxey’s Canadian mare and J de camped with her alter the General was sent to jail has evidently con cluded to quit tramping. —Albany Herald. Is this a case of a mare on the tramp or a tramn on the mare? I The Tribune published on yester day that Mr Atkinsou would speak in Bone tonight. The report may have been published ou rum< r,it cer tainly was not based on facts. The Tribune was put on notice yesterdav i hat its report was false and yet in this mornings paper no correction is m> de. 8 this lair? The Evans’ heelers now say 'hat the counties that went for At kinson were conceded to him. Yes, after a hot contest and the ballots were counted. We predict that af ter next Saturday's primaries they will concede the State to him.— Walton News. Why does Max Meyerhardt the organizer and papa of the Max Mey erhardt Evans Club, this Ex City Conrt Judge, worked in season and out of season, “muzzled and un muzzled’ —and kept the columns of the '‘Jonah’” reeking with his slush since this campaign opened. Max could have done all this without hope of reward—but if he has he has certainly broken his record, A vote for Gen. Evans means that the people rule, and wi'l continue to rule the destinies of Georgia.--Max Meyerhardt. Why of course! General Evans would be under no obligations to the thir l party paper, ihe Constitution nd under no obligations to the Allan . t , politicians who have contributed their’hundreds where the General put in his thousandfor the perpose ®f cor rupting voters. Bill Atkinson is the people’s only hope of redemption from Atlanta Ring Rule. A vote tor Gen. Evars means a vote against riii/,8, cliques, com tuna tions and all manner of “ slates.’’ Max Meyerhardt. Yes! it means the surrender of Georgia, tied hand and foot and betrayed into the power of the Atlanta politicians. It means an Atlanta Soldiers home poor Louse for the poor old privates and Gover nors Mansion for the General. V’ote forW Y. Atkinsou the peoples champion and the tried true friend of the old veterans. A petition is being circulated in Oconee couuty asking the Executive i Committee to rescind the action of the snap mass meeting of last week and give the people an opportunity to decide between the gubernatorial ■ candidates.—Calhoun Times. Does the Times believe that the people have not sense enough to know that Oconee acted fairer than did Richmond? M as not Occn -e’s act on Oconee’s business?—but if it was too hasty for the Atlanta boodler, why does the Times not air Rich mond's actions a little? According to the Constitution, Atkinson went into the campaign without a county, a vote or a news paper to back him, he has made scores of speeches, has never had an audience and has never spoken without making votes for General Evans and yet the boomers pro ceeds to to rush the counties,out of the first twenty-three Atkinson gets fourteen to the Atlanta can didate’s nine and thirty-six votes to the Generals twenty-six, Atkin son is not only a statesman but his record has made him the choice of the people. A vote for General Evans, is a tribute of love to every Confeder ate soldier in Georgia, who bore the fatigues of the march, the pri vations of the bivouac, the dangers of the battle and the horrors ot the hospital.—Max Meyerhardt. The Confederate soldier honored General Evans with the office of General, because he had won that honor; those same sturdy old he roes are going to honor Bill At kinson now, because of his records !at a democratic soldier, They I know who has led the charges and ' the Max Meyerhardt slush will not deter them from rendering justice. A’kinson is their choice. 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.” THE TWO RECORDS. WHAT EACH CAND IDATE DID WHID IN THE LEGISLATURE. Hon W. Y. Atkinson was a mem ber of the legislature from Coweta county from 1886 to 1894. Hon C. A. Evans was State senator from Stewart eounty in 1859—60. He re are the records the twomen made, by which we impartially judge their character as statesmen.

She got the shotgun and now he is with the graet majority. 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. The Atkinson men Beem B . that their candidate has * enonough counties to give him a Bnt in writ'rg U p the f ee i ingß boomers, ’‘seem” is not the word t uee-p.t it stronger broth« Bke r erod P 2° 119 feel 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.

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.
