Kindly Feeling for Judge Atkinson
But His Politics Condemned.
WAYcRoss, Ca, June 12.-Editor Norm
ing Net0s: Allow me a space in your
columns to say few words to the friends
and supporters Of Judge Spencer r. Atkin-
son In the Eleventh congressional district TO
correct a wrong impression which seems to
pervade their minds. / have conversed
with a large number Of his supporters at
this end Of the district and / find it their
universal opinion that the friends Of the
Hon. Henry @. Turner have made, and are
making. q personal warfare upon the
honored ex-judge. | am sure that, perhaps,
there Is not one among Mr.. Turner'S friends
better acquainted with the views of the sup
porters of that gentleman than am and
therefore can speak for Mr.. Turner and his
friends with truth as to their feelings to-
ward Judge Atkinson. In no speech during
the canvass made by Mr.. Turner when he
was among us did he refer to tho judge OK
cept In the highest terms Of regard and re-
spect. He was as careful and solioitous
about the judges feelings as IL be was speak
ing OF a lady. He urged it upon
his supporters not to make the
campaign one Of bitterness or personal
tiles. l have heard a great many of the
speeches during the canvass and have heard
from them, all and in my judgment, on the
part Of Mr. Turner's friends, they have not
been personal except in defense when the
judge became personal himself. No,gentle-
men, the campaign has not been against the
judge as a man, but 1t has been against his
politics. The true and tried-the rock-rib-
bed democracy of the Eleventh have fought
fair fight against the judges Ooala
democracy, and his III it be necessary
speeches. They do not want any more
anomalies IL congress-no more Tom Wat
sons-from Georgia, and this is why his
home county tGlynnl, Echols, Brooke,
Lowndes, Ware, Irwin, johnson and Laurens
have spoken in thunder tones which are un-
mistakable, aud the other counties will in a
few days add their voice to the grand chorus.
| want to assure the judge and his friends
that the supporters Of Hon. Henry G. Tur-
ner hold him in high regard. They admire
his ability and purity as a jurtst. They
give him credit for being an able
Lawyer Il; him and o, they ,b6 feel J PIGTd
citizen. Many OF them, IL he would let
them, would be glad to shake his hand with
a warm sympathetic grip and would hail
with great Joy his return to his fathers
faith pure unalloyed democracy. The
incest and best men In all ages Of the world
have made mistakes. The judge has made
a great mistake-yes, mistake after mis-
take In this campaign and now the best
thing he can do Is to add little politics to
his wisdom as a lawyer and judge and ao-
knowledge the fact and come down and out
and get back into line with the true dem-
ocraoy of his district We need him TO
help fight third partyism and to help heal
the breaches made in this campaign. 1t is
the hope and belief his friends In tho ranks
of Mr. Turner's supporters that he Will do
this since Ware county has spoken.
