/ An Atlanta special says: | believe
that there is general expectancy here
that Senator Brown, in tho speech he is
billed TO deliver at Mlcon will attack
| Governor Gordon. But, whatever may
lie his feeling toward the General-not
The friendliest if rumor is true-Senator
Brown certGnly won' make an onslaught
on Gov. Gordon Just now. This, | have
reason to believe, win be the drift of his
speech. He will commend in the strong
est language the farmers movement and
he viii indorse their policy.
sdeh utterances my be construed as
an attack upon the Governor and they
may not,
Does this explain the Senator's apathy
toward Gen. Gordon? 1t fell to Gordon to
make the reappointmento of trustees of the
University of Georgia under the law redu-
cling the members from 4S to Is. OF the
original 4S Brown was the only one that
had ever given a dollar to the UNIVERSE
ty, bis gift being the Charles Mcdonald
Brown fund of $4,000. When the Gov
eTner made his appointments he ignored
Senator Brown completely, And Joe
Brown don't forget!
Last night the members of the Fulton
County Confederate Veterans Associa-
tion-not as an association, that being
prohibited by their constitution-passe
resolutions endorsing Gordon. There
are two men, members of the association,
who want it distinctly understood that
they are against the resolutions, and
Gordon.
When Gordon made his famous race
against Bacon, DR.. r. D. Spalding was
chairman of the Gordon state campaign
committee As such he quit his business
and devoted his entire time to campaign
work side by side with Henry Grady,
who was Gordon's right hand man. Mai.
NJ. c. Kiser was chairman of
the finance committee that raised
every dollar for the campaign; all
the money for thousands of kilograms,
for special engines, and all the expenses
of That wonderful campaign passed
through Major Eiscr's hands. Now both
Il these gentlemen ore opposing Gordon.
They give several reasons One is til Q
treatment that Henry Grady received at
Gordon's hands. 1t was infamous, they
say-and they don't forget.
Another very prominent figure in that
campaign was Hon. Bill Glenn, formerly
Of Whitfield, now of Atlanta. A few
days ago Mr., Hugh Gordon went to Col.
Glenn and asked him to meet Mr. Nor
wood an- tl-s-zt4.---r.---s. .AI't,la4.5, 'virvrI
Gordon was expected to be there. This
Mr.. Glenn refused to do. Later Gov.
Gordon himself asked Mr.. Glenn to go to
Forsyth to meet Norwood This, too, he
refused
A friend of Mr.. Glenn, in speaking of
this matter, says; "The reason of such
a refusual must be evident TO erybody.
Four years ago Glenn, at Henry Grady's
summons, quit everything AMI pulled off
his cont for Gordon lie worked day
and night and made speeches every
where, lie was the man whom Grady
selected to meet DR.. FELTON,, and the val
ne of his work was appreciated at the
time. But from the day of Gordons |
victory until this hour, if he has ever
been given any recognition whatever,
don't know it. To be sure, now, that
Gordon is IN trouble, he goes to Glenn
Bat Glenn don forget"
And SO il goes
The record is onc of black ingratitude,
The people who elected him before are
against Gordon now.
His treatment Of Henry Grady is fol-
lowing him Ike a shadow, and viii dark
en- lis very defeat.
