We have gotten at the iueide I history of General Gordon’* de clination to make a Hartes of speeches iu Georgia iu behalf of General Evans. It will be recalled that General Gordon wrote >a let ter in behalf of General Evans and announced that he would make at least fovr addresses in toe state, con:metreing at Macon, General Gordon tkeu went on to Washington. A few days later he was to ge to Maceu and make his first address. There were many Democrats who were glad that he was going to take the stu<sip. There were equally as many who held that he had no right to come to Georgia and make «yeechu6 for nny one. Well Gen. ’Gordon mevereame I back to make * espeech.

There is now as there has been all along, a demand, in some quar ters, for a third man in r he Dem ocratic nomination. It is too late now, for a third man. If General Evans can win the nomination, which his friends and supporters still hope, but which now seems improbable, he will have earned the support of the party. It Mr,,. Atkinso.u wins, as his fiieuds now positively say he will, he is enti tled to the victory without embar assiijg interference of any sort within the party. . It is too late to think of a third uiiin even if ooa could Dow go iu,t<aue the Evans votes and beat Mi. Atkin son.

New York, June 13,1594. —The astounding rottenness that is be , nig brought to light by the Lexow : Committee that is investigating Gotham’epolice force, which, of course, means Tammany Hall, is evidently scaring the big fish i s well as the small fry, Ex-Bosx Croker, who has been lying very low since he ‘‘retired'’ from poli tics,evidently not relishing going through the ordeal which his fi nances were subjected to by the Fassett Committee, suddenly started for Europe to the arm ze iment of his political associates, fie sailed ou the Umbria, accom panied by his two sons, Richard xnd Herbert, and will not return to this city until late in the Fall. The - second week of the Lexow Committee> present inquiry has been even more startlingly sue cessful than the first. The case against a number of police captains, sergeants and ward men has been so perfectly mad' out that the Mayor has felt it nec essary to teeue a sort of unofficial proclamation of their unworth) uess, and when the Tammany fiewspapax organ has been com pelled to condemn them. It is proved new beyond question that a number of captains have been sympathetically engaged iu black mailing vice and lawlessuess and licensing them, for bribes. The money has been as regularly collected by the ward men as rents might be’by an agent. In some cases it has been paid direcHy to the c*.pt*;«iß, and in all the ‘Jap tains’eoueplicity has been estab liehed. This is ®uly a b giuuing, bur even if there were uo more r.o oonae, enough has been shown to compel legislation for a thorough and radical -reform.

Scarcely a saloon from the Battery to Harlem was doing-business. Even the men with pulls wene closed up tight J’he blinds were up in nearly every ease, and the saloons that nightly sheltered .crowds of customers and Kept from one to four bartenders biivy, were oilent as the tomb, while the unobstructed windows gave a full view of the interiors. The once grat Tendeloin was sad. The rollicking Bowery was deserted. Third Avenue was asleep. Harlem was as a Lapland village. The men one met on the street at 2 o clock or so iu the morning looked tired and disgusted and fly” cops” ware on every corner to see that the law was enforced.

Since then th.» Rime TribuD® has contained other items calcu lated to stir the slumbering pas sions of the faction. To put an end to such hurtful agitations just now, The Hustler sent out a reporter this forenoon to inter view some of the recognized lead ers of the prohibition cause. The first man met, was Air. J. H, Lanham of the Fourth Ward. Mr. Lanham was uot in favor of bring ing ou a. fight just now, and. gave among utbei practical reasons, that he was confident that such a campaign would result in failure ami instead ot helping the cause would damage it sidly. Dr Bruet Harris, said be was in favor of briagiugon the *ght, “lor’ aaid he’ ’f we siiould loose we would be sr,rei git niug our lines I tor op , feel coim It nt that we Prohibitionis s j will lou. e more by stagnation th»>n we coula loose by agnaiion. ’ Cant.B G.

Bimpson was op posed to the opening ot a campaign at this time because he could see uo hope of winning, and further, he felt that agitation would not Help the city of Rome or Floyd couuty. Mr. Henry G, Sorth, the broker, also opposed the fight and said (hat the strife it would engender would be hurtful to Rome and useless because it w.--s hopeless. Mr. Walter lieadden : "I think it would be most unfo'.ruuate to bring on a prohibition election this summer Our people are al ready work d up 100 much over 1 matters of politic.-—and a fight if ’ this kind wo.'ud be hopeless, too.” i Dr. Paul D.

Samuel Funkhouser:‘‘Why I'm for prohibition of course, but I feel certain that a fight this sum mer would prove disastrous to our 1 cause and I am opposed to bring ing ou the fight. Others were in erviewed, but re quested that they be not quoted, but it is the opinion of the Hustleb of Rome that the majority oi the com monsense conservative element of the prohibitionist of Rome are against a tight this summer and they feel that agitation of the subject will not only hurt the cause itssalf, but will do much to impede the growth and developement of the city.

Most of my hfe as )ou know. Ua£ been spen like the Hon Terill Speed has spent his; viz. trapping beavtrfs and trucking rabbits and fetching down the oppossom, but I cam telk you lots you dont know. In oth er words vou have Wuk sense aud. mine is common sense. Now dont get mad, I am only afier telling the truth. But, iaiiug all joking.on the shelf for awhile, 1 want to tell you something about my trip to home. Why it is a wonderful place. It would be as big as New York if it bad as many Louse® aud mliabitants Indeed it louoks like I imagine an-’ cient Rome looked in the midst of. all her glory. But here I am di— grtssiug again Well, I went to Rome on business aud 1 accomplish ed what I went for, rest assured. Upon reaching her gates I entered and soon learned that Thos. Faby’a Suore at 248 Broad St. was the place for me to make my pur; basing head quarters. 1 soon found the place’ and was introduced through the va rious departments by Mr. Hender son who spared no pains to me fully conversant with all the bargain facie. In his department I purchas ed many big bargains in dress goods, trimmings, silks and the like and I never was “more better pleased” us old Penquites Jaret would say. Then Air. Alexander sol.l me some fine values from the domestic depait j merit, in the way of sheeting, shirt -1 mg. checks pans, ginghams, and the beauty about all of Fahy's goods is they are fresh and new. No old stock thrown upon the market.. Next Air. 1 oulton showed me very grace fully through bis department*, and sold me many notions at prices nevw before known. FaLys is certainly the place for hosiery, gloves, fans, ties, belts and the like. Next in or der came the white goods aijd lace department presided over by Mr® Malone who always pleases Ihe trade by his conito.-.y aud gentlemanly bearing. From tins department many purchases were made and the g’rfe are delighted with all I bought. Be-* fore leaving 1 elevated myself and went through Fahy s extensive car pet, matting and lace Curtain rooms, and struck a genuine bargain, espec ially in mattings, Mys Alyl Eaby’a surely is tae place for folks to deal if they want the best at the most reasonible prices.
