THAT MUCH BOASTED CHALLENGE,
Theservile republican press is given
to much boasting Of late, averring
that Mrs M. II. Lease has declined
toacceptthe challenge Of Miss Walker
ofthe Harper Graphic, TO discuss the
issues Of the present campaign. Mr..
A. q. Stacey land who will doubt his
veracity?) adds his testimony to this
tale.
The fact is that Mrs. Lease herself
gave the challenge, a general one, 10
any person who should feel disposed
to meet her on the platform in such
discussion. Miss Walker does not
choose TO undertake this task upon
tho platform, but agrees to accept the
challenge provided the discussion is
conducted in the columns OF the
Graphic Aware Of the proyerbial
liability Of the Graphic in common
with other republican journals to
vary sometimes from the exact line Of
truth, Mrs. Lease did not feel sure
that her manuscript would always be
literally rendered in its columns; and
she therefore declined the conditions
imposed; but that she has ever de-
clined a discussion with Miss Walker
or any other person, is one Of those
departures from the truth for which
the Graphic is noted, and which af-
ford ground for the suspicion which
Mrs. Lease entertains.
Now If Miss Walker is really de-
sirous Of undertaking discussion Of
the character indicated, she can be
accommodated. She can publish her
arguments in the Graphic and Mrs.
Lease will publish hers in THE ADyo-
cate, and If the articles do not occupy
more than three columns each, we
will agree in advance to publish the
arguments Of both parties, and Miss
Walker can do the same. This is
certainly fair proposition, and we
hope to have these terms accepted or
that a little less wind will be wasted
on this subject hereafter

MORAL CRARKS.

Prof. Samuel Dickey, of Michigan,
chairman of the national Prohibition
committee, was in Atlanta last week
for the purpose of stirring up tbs
moral cranks and recognizing the
third party, so called, in Georgia.
He announced that, as soon as his
party is organized, candidates for al
the offices viii be placed in the field
and . full electoral tickes in 1892.
He also stated that, in the South,
twO-thirds of their number will be
taken from the Democratic party. So
this third movement is confessedly
anti-Democratic and is directed by a
Northern Republican. Now let us
see if the Atlanta Journal will de-
nounce Prot. Dickey as bitterly as it
has denounced some others who have

BILIOUS sRiMBERRY.

The republican convention which
met at Camilla, last Wednesday did
not nominate candidate for Com
gress, but Endorsed, instead c. s
Madison, the independent Yankee
candidate who halls from the county
of Quitman.
The personnel of the convention
was made up of eighteen delegates
from eight different counties. There
was only one white man who partici,
pated in the convention Maj. B. F.
Brimberry.
Major Brimberry has been well and
favorably known in Dawson, and in
social and business circles has always
been considered very decent sort of
a republican.
If reports be, true Major Brimberry
haa forfeited the respect OF the white
people OF this section by the active
part he took in this negro convention
and the making of a very inhamma-
tory speech.
Rev. j. Il. Underwood, who was at
the convention as a spectator, quotes
Major Brimberry as saying:
81 don't know what Mr.. Mattison's
politics are, and l don't care. lie IS
not lawyer nor an organized demo
crat. He is an Independent. | don't
vote with the Bourbon democrats. If
Is too late now to nominate republi,
cam, and the Lodge bill has not pass
ed. When thai becomes a law we
will have fair election and our votes
will be counted.
l am glad of one thing, and that is
that there IS no whisky nor money in
this campaign"
Then he poured hot shot into the
newspapers of the district, specially
the Early County News, for saving
that ne was a candidate for Congress.
He said:
'Brimberry is never going to run
Tor Congress until the election law is
enacted, but he Will fight democrats
to the bitter end. We are not here
to make a nomination but to endorse
candidate. We want to beat Turn
er, and we don't care who we beat
him with. AS chairman of the cleo
ton committee he did his best to
turn republicans out, and we are not
going to support him."
AT the close of the meeting thew
appointed an executive committee.
aud Brimberry was made chairman.
Then came the question of how they
should work, and in a hot speech he
gave this advice. Said he:
"Organize your clubs, hold your
meetings, but hold them carefully, for
let me tell you, every ten. cent dem,
ocratic paper will get out the mob
and cut"throats and put them on YOU
They hare done me that verv way,
in this very house. You can't con,
ceive of anything the democrats will
not do to carry an election. Go to
work. When Congress meets we will
be there. II Tom Reed is speaker,
he'll see that we have a square deal.
The Lodge bill, which they call a
'tOrce' bill, will bring us around all
right. Don't buy any whisky, and
keep away from the whisky shops, and
if TnrnAr don't got moro -oteo- tl,".,
ne has been getting he will never be
seated. Tom Reed will have things
in hand then. He is the greatest
man in America, and | had rather
see him President than any man in
this country. Have your people
well drilled for the November elec>
ton and call mass meetings in every
county, l don't trust democrats
anywhere and | don't want them to
handle my mail"

1t is hard to belle We that a man OF
Speaker Reeds standing would be
guilty of falsiiying; but it is equally

ignorant as to make this assertion:
"The majority Of the democrats live
south of the Mason and Dixon's
line" In the last presidential cleo
ton, 3,617,989 democratic votes we're
cast north of that line, and but l.
