publish the communication though
already committed to another

“Dear Hustles, Me notice by
yesterday’s paper that you have
already committed yourseif to the
John J. b?ay ticket, and we con
sidder you have been toe quick on
trigger, too.”
“But, be that as it may several
of us who n tiee that Capt.
Hiles has announced simultan
eously in the two morning papers,
and noticing that he'has no ticket
yet apparent.”
“Eurthvr, knowing him to be a
' most economical, retired busiues
man, above all things economical
and Ave being believers in economy
and desir. us of cutting down ex
penses and stopying so much
city improvements, the cost of
which must come »ut of the tax
payers. ”
“Believing furf r that peltce
men could ba h. 1 for $25 'the
mo th, and stree la >orers for 50
cents the day, and that the pay
.of all officers should be cut in
half to meet the “tringencey of 5
cent cotton and general hard times
we have consulted together and
now suggests this ticket for Capt.

“Now Mr. Hustler, what do you
think of t at? Every man a good
one and every good one keen to
look after the city’s finances. Os
■course cur city might not grow in
improvements, but her treasury
would sweli and bulge, and after
■ill, times are just simply too

SKILLFULLY DONE.
Governor Atkinson has appoint
ed as penitentiary commissioners, '
under the recent act of the Leg
islature. J. S. Turner, of I’utnaL,
C. A. Evans, of Fulton and J. L
Beach,of Glynn, Douglas Glessner
of Spalding, was inide secretary,
and J. C. Moore, of Floyd inspec
tor.
Wh : le the appointments .are
good ones the opinion that there
was a good deal of poli'ics invol
ved in them is very general. The
Ishmaelite shan.s in spite of the
disclaimer of the Governor. If not
intended to affect the coming race
for the gubernatorial nomination
in the interest of Atkinson, then
the Ishmaelite is very much mis
taken.
But it will no* be apt to bear
fruit of the anticipated sort. Gen
eral Evans will hardly become an
advocate of Terrell’s nomination
because of his appointment. His
memory is much shorter than
some persons think it is, if he so
easily forgets the considerations
that should link him, wi h bands
of steel, to the candidacy of Ali n
D. Candler.
Meantime, the Senatorial race is
afar off, but near enough to ti.i.ble
the Lhmuelite to make the con
fident ass. rti n that Bacon as he
should, "ill succeed himself.
Georgia has been for too long a
time hunting for such a Senator
to part with him eoeasi’y —Sparta
Ishmaelite.
te”
1 hero may net have been any
now developments in the inunici
, Pal contest yesterday—all the
•amo when Capt. John J. Seay
cousoLtet to run, why the next
mayor of Rome was named
* •
* *
And when the gentlemen who
make up the compromise ticket
that Capt. Seay heads, were seen
and consented to make the race,
why, as a mat.er of fact, the five
aidermen who are to be elected in
• I
the next race were also named
*
* *
Let the se'fibh agitator put that
in his | ips aud smoke it. Everj
faction has a representation on ths
John J. Seay ticket and only thi
agitations of a selfish spirit will
foment trouble.
***
I, for one, am opposed to the
city b 'ing plunged into a red -hot
municipal scramble. Why should
energy and treasure be expended
in an internal fight? Let’s all be
willing to give and take. If this
spirit prevails tnere will be no
contest, and Rome will not be
handicapped by civil strife, but
will be enabled to gather her
strength, and wi'h a united front,
move forward in her mar eh of
progress and prosperity.
*
* *
Here is a ticket on which all
friends of the city can unite. Show
your spirit of compromise by fall
ing into line.
*»
So much for a plea for unity
aud harmony.
*
* *
Now, using the best argument
advanced by the other side, Capt
Seay ought to be elected, for he is
the first candidate to announce
who named his ticket.
»**
I fought hirn bes ore—l now fight
for him. I have opposed some of
the aidermen on his ticket, in the
past, today I remember the harm
wrought by red-hot elections and
in a spirit of genuine compromise
I accept the J J. Seay ticket in
toto.

The John J. Seay tick t is in

The man who succeeds Gus Ba

more able and more loval to the

This paragraph is from the Sav
annah Tress:
“I he editorial in the Sundays
Constitution is construed into an
indorsement of Hon. Allen D.
j Card! r for the next G overucr of
Georgia. The Constitution dec'arcs
that the next campaign is to be an
“old soldiers year in Georgia. The
Constitution intimates that Gen
eral Evans will not again be a can
didate for office, but will lead the
vetei ns in their last charge for
the H 11 country statesman. The
Constitution has been leaning Cai.-
dlerward a long time.”
The Ishmaelite trusts that the
conjecture as to the Constitution,
in the above paragraph, is correct.
It has support 'd g'od men for
Governor in the past but never a
wor hier or better one than Allen

FROM HIS N \TIVE COUN 1 Y
' In an interview with our Sec
retary of State, lion Allen I).
Candler, at his office in Atlanta,
a short time ago the Journal’s rep
rt entative w. s fortunate i.i get
ti g sufficient information con
noncerning his probable cand dacy
the office of Governor of Georgia,
to justify the announcement that
Hon. Allen I). Candler will be a
candidate.
Therefore, in saying that he has
been a citizen of this county and
that he is loved and respected by
many of our leading citizens, and
that this county and district will
give this true and tied old-time
Democrat a large majority of the
votes, is but another -epjtition of
an already well known fact, but
many of our readers have for some
time been waiting to find out
whether or not they w«>u d have
the pleasure of supporting the
ma”. <>f their ch-ice for governor.
It affords us pleasure to have
the opportunity to say that our j
people of Georgia will have an op
portunity to voti for a man who,
i we believe, wi 1 to a large extent
purify our State politics. This
purifier is in our opinion, Hon. A.
D. Candler, Our next Governor. —

SIR ROBERT BOOKED FOR
MONDAY NIGHT.
ROME’S GREAT FAVORITE
Will Appear in His “Sampson
and Delilah.”
Mr. Robert Downing, whose ver
satile talents have given him a
commanding position on the Ainei
ican stage, will appear next Mon
day evening, January 8, at the
Nevin opera house, in the Bibli
cal dramatization of “Sampson
and Delilah. ”
Mr Diwiing could not have
made a more fitting selection of a
play in which to appear his
special qualifications to find in
the leading role something pecu
liarly sympathetic. He is possess
ed of qualities of mind and at
tributes of person that make him
singul: rly adaptable tn his classi
cal roles.
In the company surrounding
Mr. Downing this season are
many well known and experienced
players. A l hie scenic environ
ments hive been specially prepar
ed for this 'our, and no pains have
been spaied to make it one long to
I c remembered.
Reber Downing has been known
for two things, the perfection of
detail which characterizes all his
productions, and the never failing
excellence of his company, which
is always selected with the nicest
discrimination. This season it is
said that in both these particu
lars the ; tragedian has well-nigh
eclipsed his former efforts, and
his coming appearance at the op
era bouse is being looked forward
towiiba great deal of p'uaiure.
Prices will be advanced for tnis
enjoyment though the manage
ment guarantees one of the great
est treats of the season.

ESPIONAGE
BY HANNA OF FORAKER AND
HIS FRIENDS.
A RESOLUTION PROMISED
The Same Game Was Played By
Sherman Six Years Ago,
New York, Dec. 30—A Washing*
ton special to the Journal says.
A resolution will be introduced
in the Senate immediately after
the holiday races calling upon the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Postmaster General for informa
tion as to what ex.ent the secret
serv ce and the Postoffice inspec
tors have been employed in Han
na's campaign in Ohio
Senator Foraker and h s friends
both in Washinj'on and Ohio,
have been aware for some time
that the tactics employed in
Sherman’s memorable battle
against Foraker before the Ohio
Legislature in 1891 have again
been brought into requisition by
Sena or Hanna
And now, as then Foraker end
Kurtz and the suspected auti-Han
ua members of the Legislature are
under espionage. This work of
dogging the footsteps of all whom
Hanna suspects of disloyalty is
being done without written orders
but none the less is officially sanc
tioned by Treasury detectives and
Postoffice Inspectors.
The Journal says the spy res
olution will surely be introduced
ni the Senate. It will cal l forth a
hot debate.
OLD GA VIE
That Os Trailing Foraker Wits
Detectives.
The surveillance of the govern
ment secret service upon Senator
F< raker is not new for him as in
the Sherman-Foraker fight some
years ago Sherman had Uncl*
Sam’s sleuths all over the State.
At that time Foraker was not
so familiar wi'h national methods
as now and the chances are that
if the stillhunters annoy him with
their attentions there may ba
some pyrotechnics.
