FROM the sbnulder.
ELECTION BY PEOPLE
i
Os Judges And Solicitors Gen
eral is B:uii r.
This mornings Constitution
says:
“As soon ns the Hopkins bill,
providing tor the election of
judges and solicitors of the snpe
riui court by the people, reaches
i the bouse Representative Little,
jof Muscogee, will present a B uh-
I stitute that is backed by the dem
ocratic leaders of the state.
“ lhe Hopkius bill is believed
to be drawn on lines that area
trifle too undemocratic, and the
substitute, while incorporating
lhe main idea, so amends the
measure as to leave the judiciary
of the state in the hands of the
democratic party.
“It is likely that a caucus of
the democrats of the house will be
called in the next day or two, and
that positive and united actions
will be tak n. This v. ill array the
populists and the republicans on
the one side and the democrats
on the other and in such a contest
the issue is not involved in very
much doubt.”
Ou this grave question Gov-
Atkinson is quoted in the follow
ins forceful and et-aight from the
shoulder language.
‘•There is no absolutely satis
factory way of selecting judges
and solictors. Ihe history of the
state shows that there has been
in the method of selecting them
a constant change passing around
the circle from apoiutment by
the governor to election by the
people aud back again to
appointment by the governor.
Every man who has had exper
ience in political life knows that
the longer any one system is ad
hered to the more objectionable
it b< comes, because of the growth
of improper and questionabe
method which increase as the
sys ern grows older.
“ There is no question now that
tbe people of Georgi i have grown
tired of the present system and
are earnestly in favor of a change
this is no reflaction upon the
character or ability of those men
who have been successful under
this system for in my opinion tbe
judiciary of will compare
favorably with that of any of our
Aster states and in all probabili
ty nearly lhe same men would be
successful ui-der any system
adopted. Conceding this to be
true however the fact that the
methods now it vogue in election
before the general assembly are
many of them of so improper a
character as to invito just criti
cism impairs the influence and
useful Less of the ablest and pur
est of our solicitors general aud
ndicial oftl 'ers.
‘•While primarily T would be iu
favor of appointment by the gov
ernor of the judiciary and letting
the people hold the governor re
sponsible for his selections in
ever’-’ inetanoe, I do not believe it
possible to s.-cure this change, and,
L preference to continuing our
present system, I earnestly favor
so amending our constitution that
judges and solicitors may be elect
ed by the people of tbe state.l do
not share in the fear of those whe

H this proposition is adopted it is
quite probable that the populists
will be able to elect the officers m
several of the judicial circuits,and
by proper organization it is even
possible for the republicans to en
danger our success in s one others
To leave the selection of theie
officers entirely to respective dis
tricts would prove a tempting bait
to encourage ambitious men who
f elt they were unable to secure
position in the democratic party
to align themselves with the pop
ulists, hoping that, iu future the
Strength of the party would ena
ble them to capture a coveted
prize, lam a democrat b cane 1
beiieve it is best’for that party to
rule in slate and in nation, and I
am therefore unwilling to volun
tary surrender power to any other
party.
“Another reason, of a more
general puplic ’uterest, which
impresses itself upon my mind is
that an election by the judicial
circuits will lequire the judges
and solicitors to become more
thoroughly involved in the con
test before the voters than would
follow if they we : selected on the
general state ticked, in which ev
ent they would receive their com
missions from the people of the
entire state. .Judges and solicitors,
while assigned to their respective
circuits, are in fact, state and not
district officers, and it is entirely
proper that they should receive
their commissions fiom the hands
of people of the entire state.
JUDGES AR3 STATE OFFICERS.
“ The Judges have authority to
act in the state, and, when
called upon in conformity to law
anywhere within the bounds of
the state, his judgement and de
crees are just as binding as they
are in the particular circuit to
which he may be assigned lam,
therefore, decidedly c f the opin
ion that not only partly welfare,
but public good demand that these
officers should ba elected by vote
of the people on the general state
ticket. It would be extremely
unfortunate for any party having
control of the state.administration |
to have judges and solicitors in
some of the judicial sircuits who
are unfriendly to that administra
tion . They could, in many re
spects, cripple and embarrass it
While it would be best to elect
these officers on the general stale
ticket, as heretofore stated. I
think it would be entirely prop
er for the people of each judi
cial circuit, who are most di
rectly .interested, interested, and
who best known the qualifications
of the respective candidates, to
nominate the candidates, to be
voted for in the contest. The
fact that these aomiu ss were to
to be submitted to the vote
of the peop'e of the entire
state would,of itself, inspire each
party to put forward its purest
ablest men presented to the
state by th'ir party from other
judical circuits.
advices Holding a caucus.
“1 he beet method of disposing

MADE AGAINST SPANISH OF-
I ICIALS IN NEW YORK
ORE MAN CONFESSES
Implicating a Consul General
Demanded $1 500 l
New York, Dec G—A p’at to
blackmail Senor Don Eugenia De
faria Teixeira, a Brizilian million
aire, which had been frustrated by
the central office detectives, was
revealed today by the preliminary
po'ice court proceedings in tbe
prosecution of W'lliam B. Turn
bull, who claims to be an account
ant, and Wi liam E. L. Ford
Gould, who has been known as a
Wall street speculator.
The name of Aturo Baldasano v
T pete, Spanish Consul general,
having been mentioned ir. connec
tion with the scheme to extort the
sum of $4.500 from Senor Teixeira,
a subpoena was issued for his at
tendance at the examination in
the case of Gould and Turnbull,
which has been set down for Tues
day.
The prisoners were committed to
the tombs prison in default of
bail, and it is said that tbe police
court investigation Turubull will
become a witness for the prosecu
tion, and by disclosing tbe full
details of tbe conspiracy, fasten
the guilt on his confederate,Gould,
and implicate the high Spanish
government official.
The money was demanded from
Senor Teixeira under the threat to
publish “his life’s history,” aud
the alleged fact that he had vio
lently assaulted his wife while she
was in a delicate condition.
Detectives had several interviews
with Turnbull during the course
of the negotiations to extort tbe
money, the amount of whroh was
finally reduced to $2,250, aud are
in possession of the letters written
to the Brazilian milliona’re.
Senor Don Teixeira, who is a
widower, arrived here in October
1896, with his”mother, Mme. Marie
Luisa 'Teixeira, from Sp in. It
was then announced that the Teix
eiras intended to invest their for
tune of about $50,000,000 in this
country. They spent a half mil.
lion dollars in the erection of a
mansion at the corner of vVest
End avenue and One Hundred
aud Fifth street, this city. There
mother and son have since lived
quietly.
Consul Baldasamo comes iuto
the case because of his friendship
lor Gould. He gave to Gould a
letter of recommendation, which
Gould presented to Teixeira in
applying for the position of pri-■
v.ite secretary. When a detective,
posing as the agent of Teixeira,
conduct d negotiations with Turn
bull, the latter brought Gould in
to the case. Then the detective in
quired at the Spanish consulate
concerning Gould. The consul
said he considered G old eminent
ly fitted to act as a sec re ary to
Senor Teixeira-
Senor Teixeira bas a reputation
of an artist. He painted the cele
brated picture entitled “The First
Communion in America,” which
took prizes in Paris, Madrid and
Ch ; cago. He is a first cousin to
D un Pedro, onee emperor of Bra
zil. Senor Teixeira is reputed to
own rich gold mines in tbe repub
lic of Brazil.
