Washington. July ga" Premier Mills and MT
Bynum. of Indiana, left Washington night for Az
lanta. Ca, to deliver addresses Federal Taxation
with special reference TO tho subject Of the ta Ihey
go in place OF MI Carlisle, who, after promptly ac
cepting invitation, declined It rs soon as II appeared
probable that Major Mckinley might deliver an address
at the same place, on the subject, week or two
later AS Carlislc's acceptance was unconditional,
President Turnbuii, of the Young Mems Democratic
Association of Atlanta and Mr. Arnold, OF the Same
place, were dumoundod when, on their arrival hero
With special 10 escort the distinguished guest to
Atlanta they found that he had rcconsidercd the mat
ter aud had informed the committee of arrangements
by telegraph that he could not be present, owing TO
pressure OF Official duties. The earnest cntrcacs Of
Messrs. Tunbull and Arnold, reinforced as they were
by urgent kilograms from Governor Gordon and Sem
ator ColQuitt did not move the speaker, who said
however, that ne would checifuly 30 to Atlanta later
in the season and speak TO the Young Mems Associa
ton and the citizens generally on the tariff question
But he firmly resisted every importantly 10 fulfil his
promise to address tho meeting Of the Piedmont
Chsutauqua Association.
Mr. Carisle's excuse" pressure Of official duties'-
sounds rather comical TO members Of the House ana
others who remember how often he has been absent
since the session began 1t is assorted by some per
sons that his absences have covered from onefourth
TO onehr of the time His failure to keep his prom
Use has caused great disappointment In Georgia ana
excited good deal of in-wiIl toward him, II the ac
counts received here arc 10 be believed. Not a few
Democrats In Washington strongly vt the opinion
that he would have kept the appointment had 1t not
been that he feared that the Ohio Protcconist, who
was to follow him, would have the better OF the argl
ment even In the estimation of Georgia audience.
In other words many of them think and some OF them
openly say that he has shown the white feather
OF course his refusal is the subject OF general COM
ment among Republicans well as Democrats, and
the matter now seems be of enough consequence to
require brief statement of the facts in relation to IT,
When the invitation sent to Mr. Carlisle, one was
also sent to Representative Mckinley, of Ohio Both
expected to deal with the subject OF taxaton as
an economic question: SOLELY but from different points
Of Wow.
Both invitations 1t is understood, were intrusted to
Senator Coquitt for delivery and the one to Mr. carlisle
Colquitt and some of the Georgia Representatives
were averse TO having Major Mckinley deliver pro
lection address In Georgia The Rev. j. d, stewart
who represents the With Georgia District, which gave
him majority Of 1909 votes in a total of $3.50, Is
reported expressed the sentiments not only OF
himself but of Mr. Bloun and several other georgia
statesmen when he remarked IN SUBSTANCE IL ho' III
We don't want any doggoned Yankee radical to
come down TO Georgia to stir up strife among our
people. No. sah" .
Instead of keeping quiet about their act Of dis
courtesy It seems that several of these antediluvian
Georgia Democrats boosted of It, When the iacts
came TO the knowledge of Senator J0en Brown he is
said TO have used some vigorous language, and to
have declared that the people of Georgia would not
countenarce such an insult to public man: lie
has offered TO place his private car at Major Mcki1
leys disposal for the journey and TO accompany him
Georgia 80
Both The Augusta Chronicle" and I" The Atlanta
Constitution, have editorial comments on the
,lgotry ard prejudice exhibited by Colqut and his
friends.
