Col. Pott1s,s WISE Course.

Col. Joseph PottIe, the candidate Of the
Peoples party for congress in the Sixth
district. seeing how fruitless bis campaign
would be. has wisely withdrawn
from the congressional contest. The
Overwhelming majority which the demo
cratic ticket received In the state election
convinced him that the people of Georgia
are not anxious for a third party. He does
not say, as Mr.. Irwin, the chairman Of the
state committee Of the Peoples party, does.
that the democratic victory was obtained
by fraudulent and corrupt means. He evil
IDENTIFY is satisfied that it was not. He is
levsl-headed man. and knows that there
could have been no fraud that
and that il there had been
fraud it would have been committed IN
comparatively few counties, because Of the
imDracticability Of carrying into effect
system Of fraud In every county. The fact
that there was q democratic majority 10
nearly every county shows beyond doubt
that the election was free and fair one.
Col Pottle does not place much conf
dence in the ability OF Col Buck, the re-
publican boss of the state, to throw the re-
publican vote to the candidates OF the Peo-
plea party in the national election. If ne
thought the republicans could be In
duced to vote the ticket OF the
Peoples party he might, perhaps,
have remained in the race, though 1t is pos
sible that he would not care TO be under
such obligations 20 the Republican party
as an election with the help Of that party
would place him.
Col Potter's withdrawal is significant.
1t ia an indication that IN his opinion the bot
tom has dropped out OF the Peoples party
movement in Georgia. There is no public
information as to what his intentions are
relative to his political course in the future.
but it would not be surprising If he should
return to the Democratic party. He can
hardly help seeing that the continued pros
perity of the south is dependent upon the
ability of the Democratic party to prevent
the passage OF such measures as the force
bill, and to give the country tariff in
harmony with democratic doctrines.

Gen. j. ]. Morrison. a veteran of the fed
eral army in the late war, has written a let
ter to the National Veterans Tariff Reform
League, In which he calls attention to the
fact that President Cleveland signed more
private pension bills than any two Presi-
dents before him, and submits these figures
of such bills signed: Lincoln signed A, john
son 4S1, Grant eight years. $50. Hayes 1874,
Arthur FOG, Cleveland 1926. These facts
Gen. Morrison thinks, should dispose of the
republican assertion that Cleveland is not
the friend of the deserving union veteran.

The splashing of women in the political
puddle is not altogether edifying to the peo-
pie who vote. The dear creatures imagine
that their clubs are very important adjuncts
to the campaign. But, really, each of the
great parties could get along quite nicely
without them, although 1t would be rude
for the party managers TO say 50. II the
woman politician would devote her time
and talents to domestic economy, or dress
reform, or church extension, instead OF to
politics she would probably find the work
more oongenial and the press less disposed
toward harsh criticism.

farmers will vie with each other in plow-

his pillow will receive prize of $500. The
management of the Georgia state fair
might make note of this and arrange a
similar contest for a purse. There are
thousands of expert plowmen among the

Using the Treasury for Harrison

OoAOS WIG - GEhGAA y IVA A4HA Ao0hr
A day or two ego, as told IN the Wash
ington dispatches Of the MORNING NEWS, &
ruling was made by Assistant Secretary of
the Interior Bussey, in pension matters,
that was clearly bid for the soldier vote
for Gen. Harrison at the expense of the
treasury. The ruling contained statements
which were not true and which were in
tended 20 create q prejudice against Mr..
Cleveland.
During the Cleveland administration
Commissioner of Pensions Black made a
ruling that no increase of pension should be
allowed to any pensioner for a new disa-
bility that was not shown by a hospital
record or medical evidence to have existed
In the time of service or at the time OF dis
charge. At the time this ruling was made
it was regarded as eminently just, and it
| has been followed ever since. The admission
| of lay testimony to prove that disability
existed when the original pension was
| granted but was not mentioned in the
application for that pension, would open the
door wide TO fraud, and would take millions
| OF dollars annually out of the treasury
| Assistant Secretary Bussey has set aside this
wise rule OF the Cleveland admInist ration
and which the Harrison administration had
always approved, and permits a new dis
ability to be proved by lay testimony. In
the heading OF his extraordinary ruling
! this remarkable language Ia used:
"The arbitrary rule of the Cleveland ad-
ministration in adjudicAting increase claims
| based upon alleged new disabilities, over
ruled by the Harrison administration in the
interest of meritorious applicants. The old
doctrine of estoppel In pension claims set
aside by the present administration"
By one little rule it is proposed to arouse
feeling of hostility among the old soldiers
against Mr.. Cleveland, and to make votes
for Gen. Harrison by removing another
sharks upon the treasury.
When Secretary Noble saw the rule in
print he promptly disowned the partisan
feature of it, and asserted that clerk had
given it its partisan character without au-
thority. The clerk was discharged, but the
belief is quite general that Assistant Seore-
tary Bussey knew all about il and that a
scapegoat has been made Of the discharged
clerk. The political feature of the rule has
been ordered to be stricken out, but the rule
itself stands. And thus it is that the treas
ury is made to contribute to the reelection
of Gen. Harrison. The Republican party
stops at nothing TO retain control Of the
government, and this is the party with
which the Peoples party Of Georgia and
other southern states is willing to fuse.

Judge Gresham May Laugh.
From the Baltimore Netos Dem !.

Judge Gresham is probably more amused than
vexed at what is said about him by the repub-
hcan papers since he announced his intention
to vote for Cleveland. Some OF these criticisms
are not only unflattering, but veuomous. And
yet we are assured in the same breath that how
the judge may vote is a matter OF little conse-

The republicans of Pennsylvania, it ap-
pears, are making a strong fight against
ballot reform. The scare about the lack of
paper and the impossibiity of getting the
tickets printed in time for the election, ac-
cordiug to the Pistsburg Post, is a repub,
hcan device to bring ballot reform into dis
favor by making the new system appear
cumbersome and impraoticsble Aud the
story, printed In the MORNING News yes
terday, that the oonstitutionality of the new
law is TO be tested in the courts, indicates
why the republicans are 30 anxious TO dis
credit the voting reform-they are efraid Of
It, Under the new law the voter is granted
absolute secrecy. There is no way for the
Dave Martin style of politicians TO see
whether factory employees vote according to
their convictions or according to the tips
printed on the envelopes in which a great
number of them receive their wages during
campaign times. A secret ballot in Penn
sylvauia would result in democratic gains,
which, according TO republican ethics, justi-
fies the employment of any and all possible
means to upset the new law.

Thefollowing object lesson for 'Steve" Elkins
and any other person capable Of reading is fur
nished by the Chicago Times;
Mr.. Elkins bought a fine fowliug piece for the
eldest boy just before the Mckinley bill became
law. Later on, after the passage of the bill,
his other sons persuaded him to order for them
IN New York duplicates of the gun.
The guns arrived when the secretary was on a
stamping tour. When he returned cue BOYS
exhibited the guns, with the statement that they
were lust like brothers."
yes, boys" said the secretary, 81 ordered
duplicates of the first one"
After he had examined the guns one of the
boys asked:
We'll, papa. where have you been this week
and what have you been doinR?"
Il have been to Martinsburg, Grafton, Nor
gantown and Ktngwood making speeches."
What did you talk aboutg"

Pull and Push.

Ever since the beginning of che present
campaign the operations Of the two great
parties have been characterized by the APP
plioation of energy from opposite direc-
tons The Republican party has been dom
mated by the quill" the Democratic party
has been managed by push.
Long before the Minneapolis convention
the Harrison pull" with ramifoations
throughout the government service, began
its work, which resulted in a packed con-
vention and nomination distasteful 30 a
very large part OF the candidates. party.
Since the Minneapolis event. the pull has
been steadily applied to the kick
ers aud sulkers TO get them
in line, TO the beneficiaries of
protective legislation and government
employees for the purpose Of raising cam
pnign funds, to the grand army, whose
shibboleth is pensions" and to others "too
numerous TO mention" John Wanamaker
permitted the possoffice department to be
prostituted by the "pull" through the polit-
ical sharps who recently ordered each post
master to procure Correspondent and q
campaign fund OF IS for a protective tariff
league. 0 her department. officials have
bowed to the pull" in permitting the estab-
lishment of bureaus for the collection OF
voluntary" contributions from govern
ment employees at places convenisnt
to the government buildings in Wash
ingtou and the distribution of cir
culars demanding such contributions.
The assignment of Dave Martin to
campaign work In New York was the
work of the pull" and the Hackett
circular, preparing the way for the exercise
of Martins peculiar talents in the line Of
vote buying, was an evidence that the
pull" had accomplished Its purpose of fat
frying among the protected manufacturers,
and that doodle" was on tap at head
quarters. Chris MaRee's trip to Alabama
was another evidence of the same thing.
How much further the political pull will go
it is difficult to say.
On the other hand, the democratic oam-
paign has been one Of push The nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland was against the wish
of the politicians. The people knew what
they wanted and pushed their de-
mand. And now the united democ-
racy, every faction of the party having
acquiesoed In the wish Of the masses 10
pushing the campaign on to a successful
ending. The circular letter issued by the
| democratic national committee few DAYS
| ago, appointing campaign fund solicitors, is
strictly In line with the honest, open and
vigorous push of that committee. There
| is nothing to conceal or be ashamed Of
| about il IL wag not marked tsconfidantiaI
