DENIAL OF PASSAGE IN ONE OF MR.

ATLANTA AS TO THE HOSTING OF THE
UNITED STATES FLAG.
ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. %, 1876.
Senator John b Gordon, Governor james NJ. Smith
and Eector A. r. Lawton have just sent the following
despatch to Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt, Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. %, 1876
ABRAM S. HEWITT, Chairman:-
We learn that Mr. Blaine stated In speech recently
In New York that United States flags did not float in
Georgia, except Custom Houses and Post Offices
This s not true. On public occasions they hosted
the Capitol and across tho streets In this city.
About the time Mr. Blaine speaking in New York
there less than tour five United States flags
floating from the Opera House In Griffin, Ca. when
Mr.. Norwood and Mr. Harason speaking during
tho session OF the Democratic Convention, which
nominated Governor smith, the present Governor
when Governor cloct Coquitt recently nominated
there less than twenty United States flags and
other flags flying over that Democratic Conven-
ton The inference Mr.. Blaine would have tho
Northern people draw Is false his statement
United States flags are hsbilualy displayed IN our
legislative halls and there while Mr. Blaine was
speaking HIS statement, however, is but another
instance OF tho groundless ISLANDERS upon the South
which have become common with portion OF tho
republican leaders that while they continue TO give
pain they no longer cause surprise.

First-Could the Bank Superintendent be expected

that?
Second-No more can he be held at fault for the con-
