a MANLF LETTER,

In commenting upon the letter written
by Hon. o. B. Stevens to the editor of
the Albany Herald, which is printed in
this weeks News, The Thomasville
Economist says:
sit was called forth by some very I'M
generous and uncalied for stri otures on
Mr. Stevens, by the Herald. The cam
paign has been one of strange and bitter
features, and in and through it all Mr..
Stevens has maintained dignifed and
manly attitude, and not until the as
saults made on him grew insufferable
did he reply in kind.
"The cause of justice and truth would
have been much better served if the Con-
gressional campaign had been fought on
high and dignifed plane.
''But such has been the zeal of the AL
bany faction to overcome and beat down
the candidacy of Mr.. Stevens and the
Alliance that it has not failed to use
every possible weapon of abuse and mis-
representation, and has thrown into the
campaign relentless bitterness that
will leave its effect through years to
C 9me,"

CAMPAI en- LITERATURE.

The Albany Herald says that among
thelcamPaign documents which are to be
issued by the democratic party will be
several hundred thousand copies of the
slavery bill introduced in the State Sen
ate in 1887 by Col. Peek, the Peoples
party candidate for governor.
The bill was meant to be direct
blow to the tenants and poorer farming
classes.
Thh bill, says the Herald, makes it a
misdemeanor for any renter, cropper or
farm hand working for standing wages,
to fail to comply with his contract with
out good and sufficient cause, and pre-
scribes penalty for the same, according
to the misdemeanOr section of the code.
Not only that but it prevents the party
violating the contract from testifying in
his own behalf, but allows the accuser to
testify as he wishes against the accused.

patton in favor of the landlord, while it

SETTLE ALL DIFFERENCES TODAY

The Congressional convention which
meets in Albany to-day should close what
has probably been the hardest fought
political campaign in the history of the
Second Congressional district. 1t has
been strictly campaign of issues, and
several grave questions have arisen
which ale likely to injure the Democrat
ic party unless the two factions become
TecOnciled.
There are two candidates for the dem
ocratic nomination of them high
toned and honorable gentlemen-repre-
senting opposite views upon the ques-
lions at issue,
Every inch of the ground has been
hotly contested. In fact, some of the
very aren't supporters of both factions
have become so wr-ught up that a seri-
Gus division threatens the party.
THE News has an abiding faith in the
good sense and conservatism of the true
and tried Democrats of the Second dis
trict, and we believe that they will so
act in the convention as to heal the
breach thai has grown out of the canvass.
To-day is the time to settle all differ
ences among Democrats. Harmonic
to-day, and let every man stand with his
shoulder to the old wheel, Democracy,
and rest mot, but keep pushing until
VICTORY is inscribed upon her banner
at the November election.
We are fighting for noble cause-"a
government of the people, by the people
and for the people"
The horizon to-day is obscured by dis
affected hosts, and it will take a united
body working in unison the clouds will
disappear from over us and the sun
shine will burst forth in all its splendor
the people will rule indeed, and every
body will be prosperous and happy.
Let's all get close together so that
everyone may rejoice in the coming vic
tory. Let there no longer be division
and strife among us, but let's all unite
hands and hearts and work together for
one common purpose-our county, our
district, our state and our glorious
union. In the name of our great and
grand old party we urge every man to
stay in his fathers house-the place
where he belongs. Get close together
before the breach is widened. Democ-
racy may be able to triumph without
some of US, bat we can do nothing aside
from Democracy.

puts the tenant and the honest laborer
at the mercy of the land owner.
This is the product of the fertile brain
of w. L. Peek, who now poses as the
friend of the tenant and the needy far
mer. 1t remains TO be seen whether or
not they will trust HIM this time.
A good many thousand of these circu-
lars will be printed and distributed in the
Second Congressional district. Several
parties in differena sections of the dis
trict have asked for them, and they will
BE- sent out to do their work against the
Peoples party.

DIGEST THIS

We respectfully request the Albany
News and Advertiser, and the Herald, to
digest this item from the Fort Valley
Leader:
"Down in the Second district it is fast
resolving itself into question of which
faction will out vote the other when the
election comes on. 'R. Hobbs, chair
man, can have the satisfaction of know
ing he has split the Democratic party
wide open in that district. Were his
methods adopted by the party there
would be no Democratic party in two
