HINES JOINS THE PoPULIsTs.
Atlanta, Ca, April 16.-Judge J. X,
Hines, senior member of a well-known law
firm OF tho city, gives an interview 10 the
press to-day, in which he bids farewell TO
the Democratic party aud embraces tho
faith OF the populists. Judge Hines
Is regarded as out for the
populist convention He saws he
does not expect the nomination, but his
course is taken 90 be equivalent to saying
that he would accept II he could get it.
In his interview Judge Hines, who has
been life long Democrat, says; SIT is
quite premature to discuss whether will
accept the nomination of the Peoples
party for governor or not, as the nonlina-
tion has not been rendered me and as
there are no means of foreoasting the
action Of the convention OF this party next
month. | can say most sincerely that L
don't wish TO make the race for the office
OF governor and prefer the shades Of pri.
vate to any Office not judicial. TO make
the race for this office would be at a greaa
sacrifice to me personally and pecuniarily,
great cost to my pocket aud at much
loss OF peace and happiness, which value
more than money. There is much har-
mony between my views and the views OF
the populists. l agree with them.on the
silver question, on the common school
question, on the railroad question, on tho
tariff question, and on many other public
questions.
TIE PARTY's BELIErs MUCH ALIKE.
"There is much harmony between the
views Of the populists and the democratic.
There is divergence only in practice. The
democrats profess and do not perform
The difference between the parties con-
sists In the difference between preaching
and practice The difference Is radi-
cal. SO | have made up my mind
that 1t is my duty to act with
safe and conservative platform and
respectable candidates. / am, politically,
q Jeffersonian democrat. I believe the
people have the capacity to govern them
selves, and that the government ought to
be administered In the interests or the
masses. ! believe in the money Of the
constitution, gold and silver; In tariff
for revenue, and that it is q sad day for
this country when q President Of
this republic has TO confess that
the banks of New York have
the government by the log. While
the south is solid, and as long as II is
known at the north and east that the
south's vote can be counted on in all
national elections, and thattte policy OF
the national democracy can be shaped by
the northern and eastern democracy,
there Is no hope for any change in the
present status of affairs. The south is no
more than witch on log. Tho REM
edy is seperate political action"
