THE GEORGIA oEFICHoLDERs.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-GeOrgia office
holders have descended upon Washington
once more. There are rumOrs of several
new deals, but nothing has been yet de-
cided upon. AS stated some time ago,
Jesse II. Wimberly, Representative in the
Legislature from Burke county, is after
FarrOw's scalp as Collector at Brunswick,
and wants the place for himself, VIM
berly's work here has made tarrow and
his friends suspicious of him. They ar
rived in town to-dRy prepared to head off
Wimberly.
Those here are Peasants, PIedger. Far
row, Bryant and johnson. If they find op-
pOrtunity they will not only put in work
for FarrOw. but also say something about
the Judgeship. IL is said that Wimberly
has not only been manpuvering for VIM
berly, but has advised wholesale changes
among Federal offices in Georgia. The
same old pot is boiling again.

which involves the question of the extent
to which State taxation is affected by the

notorious and high handed career they failed
in their efforts to assist Mr.. Growers re-
election, although that element of the party
which controlled the conventions had set
things up in his favor over most parts of
the State. These wonderful personages
while seeking to advance their pet, (Mr
Grover,) to reelection, have not been
satisfied to do so and at the same time let
their neighbors have the liberty of also
pursuing another chosen course. We have

Mr.. Georges extraordinary efforts in Con-
gress in securing more appropriations for
Oregon at one session of Congress than was
ever before secured during two congressional
terms. To all of which the people of Ore
gon agreed with us by a majority of over
5000 votes in the late election. This don't
suit the managers of the Grover organ
across the street, who unfortunately are
more effected in mind than otherwise and
whose editorial wind appears most of the
time to be wasted in attempting to dictate
to us what to say or do. They have run
their organ so successfully to Mr.. Growers
reelection that they now think they can
tell us how to run the GAZETTE.
Well we have often heard of the char
acteristic old soonaam in the neighborhood
who had ample time to attend to their
neighbors business but had no time to at
tend to their own. We have seen her and
now she's trying to run newspaper and
calls it the 'Benton Leader" We know
that it would please the poor old imbecile
and give her another chance to engage in
the neighborhood chit chat if we would only
consent to praise her bosom friend, Mr.
Grover, and attempt to whitewash his
damnable and blackened State administra-
tion. which had ought to sink him so deep
down into the frery elements of the eternal
regions that Satan himself could never fol-
low far enough to recall him. But then we
always was obstinate and never much in
clined to follow dictation even though it
came from the old woman kind. We owe
our success and failures in this life to the
fact that we almost invariably have followed
the dictates of our own will, while we ac-
corded to others the same privilege. But
we suppose perhaps this time we ought to
give way and say something about the

notorious Grover in order to please the old
womanly disposition of the one who has
so often insisted that we should. Well
Mr.. Grover has been in the United States
Senate nearly one term most of the time
he has pretended sick, caused prabably by
the remorse of conscience occasioned by the
investigation of his career in Oregon. 1t has
never been claimed until within the last year
not even by his party that he ever did any
thing there of any benefit to the State
worth speaking of, and then only by such
organs rs the one over the way run by the
poor old lady and one or two others OF like
caliber. But he was governor OF Oregon
nearly two terms. He did do something
then worth mentioning. The most promi-
nent of which was that he killed the Dem
ocratic party in Organ so dead that it never
has to the present day made any kind of
pretensions to decent resurrection. He
engineered the Oregon State penitentiary
up to thribble expense to the State under
the faithful Bill Watkins. He discovered
the. necessity and recommended the passage
of the Swamp Land act and the notorious
and odious litigant act He conceived the
Importance ofspassing the Infamous Canal
and Lock bill. He built a State house large
enaugh for the State of New York, at an
expense equivalent to bankruptcy to the
State. He organized the Offices so that
his pets and men and old a0onaen who run
newspapers in his favor drew redundant
salaries without rendering an equivalent
service therefor. He gathered around him
the worst elements of society, and his State
administration elevated peculation to the
dignity of science. He permitted the
sacred school fund to be ravished by the
long and bony ''fns'' of the horde of selfish
followers he had around him. But as the
old woman alluded to with the newspaper
has made a failure in other contemplate un-
dertakings which she has heretofore engaged
in, she may probably also make a failure in
debating to us.

THAT "PLUG,"
And the Reflection on President Garfield.

| And the Reflection on President Garfield.
The party who used interrogation points
so freely in the old woman paper across the
way last week and took up the defense of
the managers of the Plugs for rejecting the
1929" scandal relating to our dead presi-
dent Garfield, attempts to deny its having
any such significance, claiming that it was
329, ,000,0 900 and meant nothing else. We
are willing to leave this for the public to
judge The figures to which we referred in
our issue of few weeks ago and which was
ON placard IN the Plugugly procession, was
placed therein in the following form, to wit:
("329')000, 900. If these figures referred
to meant anything else than reflection on
the late pres ident Garfield, as indicated in
the campaign before his election, why for
heavens sake did not the dastardly coward
who used the interrogation points in the
article alluded to, and who was also so con-
temptible small and cowardly as to attack
some one in the dark and then hide him
self behind the nondeplume of 'Plugs,"
come out instead and sign his name like an
honest ao}aite man and explain what was
meant by the figures above named By
that assassin like attack upon and with
holding his true name he gives himself away
and admits that our construction of it was
right. A person who writes over a non
deplume attacking his neighbor and con-
cealing his name thereby, we believe is no
better than a highwayman who takes his
shot gun and goes upon the road to kill and
plunder his neighbor. Such a person would
be well calculated to reflect on dead pres
ident and he would likely not scruple to
assassinate one if he was not afraid of the
punishment the law would inflict. It is
understood that such individuals cannot
tapp anything around us unless they do it
in ambush
