have been made which would have better
suited the Telegraph.
ThOmasville Times Enterprise: There
appears 70 be something wrong with both
the throat and argument Of Mr.. Crisp
Doth are weak And he VIII get weak in
his knees by the time Elem duBignOn
meets him few times.
Three candidates for the legislature have
announced in Baldwin county. They are:
Senator RUFF Roberts X-Representative
DICK Howard and Hon Bob Whitfield,
who made the race for congress two
years ago against Hon. Charles L. Bari
lett.
Macon Telegraph: Judge Crisp's sore
throat has caused many sore hearts in
the ranks Of the silver men, They should
not blame Mr.. Crisp. though After mix
ing with Secretary Smith a few times
they would. IN all probability, ind them
selves in failing health also.
The Monroe Advertiser finds that the
action Of the democratic executive com
mittee in that county meets with genera;
approval II says; The democrats OF
Monroe viii have until oct to decide
who IS their choice for senator; The
loyal democracy Of Monroe don't believe
in snap Judgments
AbbeviIle Exponent: II seems that Mr..
Crisp is still at sea on the currency ques-
tiOn. He Acknowledges that the result
OF free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
10 to l would be doubtful. but says after
trial, II the 16 TO / ratio is not satisfacto-
~, then try another ratio. Is this the
best argument the great silver gladiator
can bring to bear on the subjectF
Macon Telegraph: If Mr.. Crisp's throat
will not allow him to defend silver any
more. perhaps our friends, the silver men.
who claim TO have such an overwhelm-
ing majority Of Georgia democrats. have
another champion with a stronger throat
who would like TO argue the point with
Mr.. duBignon or. Secretary Smith. Sure
ly they do not intend to leave their cause
defenseless simply because Of one sore
throat.
Macon Evening News: Hon. Fleming
duBignOn addressed a vast audience at
bonneville Tuesday during the noon re-
cess Of Clinch superior court. The speak
ing look place IN the duBlgnon lnsu-
tute. Mr.. duBignon made a fOrcible sound
money argument that was couched in the
most eloquent words. His speech was well
received. There was tremendous applause
at nearly every sentence. Clinch county
Is almost unanimous for sound money
Macon Evening News: Now that Judge
Crisp is prevented, by rea son of his ply
steal condition, from participating in fur
Their joint debates for the present, and
perhaps, for some time to come thereby
making impossible full and fair discus
sion OF the financial question, on which is
sue the senatorial race is being made, is
he not in honor bound to withdraw his re-
guest for action on the senatorship in
June? Does not this proposition appeal
to every democrat, regardless of his finan-
cial views? Is IL anything more than
rights Does he not owe it to his party, to
the people, to his opponent and to him
self to now urge a pOstpOnement Of action?
The senatorial race more than any other
contest now before the people, involves
the financial issue. Mr.. Crisps defeat
means aesound money victory and Mr.. du-
Bignon's defeat means victory for free
silver. Is it right that the people should
be forced TO express themselves on this
issue before they are given an oppOrtuni-
" TO thoroughly understand and study
itP We know one of the answers to this
question viii be that the people have al
ready had ample opportunity to study the
question. Then why the joint debates
Why MIR. Crisp's presence in Georgia?
II Mr.. Crisp did not feel that his cause
needs strengthening, why did he come to
Georgia at all and begin his campaign of
education and enlightenment? We have the
strongest admiration for the high char
acter, craftsmanship and ability of Mr..
Crisp as well as for his personal puri-
! ", but we will feel that we have been
somewhat mistaken in the man II he re-
fuses to be fair in this matter.
