KEEP THE PARTY PLEDGES.
GEORGTA DEMOCRATS ron POL ITTCAL
HONESTY IN THEIR CAMPAIGN

Notice Serves on the Cleveland Democrats
that Platforms Should Mean what They
Say-Tbe Contest Tor the Goveruorshtp.
ATLANTA Jan. 3.-There is n Gubernatorisl
contest going on in Georgia in which the So
called Grover Cleveland Democrats are far in
the rear Some time ago. in order to catch tho
old soldier element. IIoke Smiths paper took
up the advocacy Of Gen. Evans for the nom
ination.
Evans is popular and was regarded as the
winning man. On Saturday last tho Hon. W.
Y. Atkinson. Chairman OF the state Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. issued an address
announcing his candidacy for the nomination.
His address strongly arraigned the tariff
policy OF tho Administration, and said:
In the approaching state campaign We
should stand upon the platform ms promu-
gated In 1892. and insist upon the interpreta-
ton OF that instrument lust as IL was II planned
to the people when we sought their votes and
as the voters Of this State interpreted 1t when
they cast their ballots.
There should be no dupllcity no hair split
ting. no evasion. no equivocation. On every
hand are seen evidences OF depression and
distress The stoutest heart is appalled, by
the shadow Of impending financial disaster
The party now intrusted with power should
not daily with the questions to which IL is
committed and upon which it achieved its
VICTORY
The address wound up by declaring that
lifelong Democrats should have equal con-
alteration with these men who come to the
pnrtys aid only when by so doing they can
promote their own political fortunes"
The next day. In an authorized interview,
Gen. Evans declared that the views expressed
by Nj. Atkinson were his own; that there was
perfect accord between them on all national
matters and that he stood squarely on the
platform. item by item. This declaration put
Secretary Smiths PAPER In the attitude OF
supporting man who did not adopt
MIR. Clcveland's policy. The Journal this
afternoon makes war on tho Constitution for
declaring that there could he no Admlnstra-
ton or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. candidates in
Georgia. Tho JDiUHdi declares: " We do not
exaEgerate when We say that there Is no paper
in the whole country. protesting allegiance to
any party or to none. which has m ore con- in
uonsy attacked tho Administration than has
the Albania COns'Iiufion."
IN answer to this the Constitution throws out
this. made prominent by double leads: What
the Constitution has intended to impress Is the
Tact that In Georgia afIairswe want no inter-
ference from Washington or anywhere else.
Georgia Is able to take care Of ITSELF and 1t will
doit.
I'VE want no Administration or anti Admin
istratior in the fight for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor. But the people will want
to know that the man who expects their sui
frage is in favor of the redemption OF every
pledge Of the Democratic platform"

RAILROAD PASSES.
A Lot OF Them TO He Cancelled 10 Keep the
Peace Among the Managers

CHICAGO. Jan. "a meeting OF the General
Managers Association was held here to-day
to bolster up the agreement made in regard to
the issue of passes during the current year.
The association was in imminent danger Of
going to pieces because some OF the lines In
the Northwes. had made contracts with Job
bling houses for advertising In their price
lists. trade circulars. aud ways OF that sort
through which business may he directly in
iiusnced. Free transportation was to be issued
in payment OF this advertisement.
This was in direct conflict with the agree
mAdo such contracts gave notice that unless
all such contracts were cancelled they would
withdraw from the agreement. After hot
discussion the offending lines gave assurances
that they would cancel all their obnoxious
contracts and issue no transportation on
count Of them. This was satisfactory. and the
pAss agreement still stands.
