who love their country must stand

our industrial clsss into the hands Of
the few through the agency OF All

repayment by the debtor OF two

the payment Of our debts with two

Congress alone has the power to

One Georgian Calls Another "a Com

+ ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 5.--The heated State
campaign in this State has led to a personal
controversy between Steve" Clay, the
Democratic State chairman. and John d.
Cunningham, chairman of the Populist
executive committee. In a speech at Win
der on Saturday Clay made a severe at
tack on Cunningham's personal character,
quoting at length from weekly paper
published at Douglasville. That paper
charged Cunningham with drinking more
whisky than water and with playing poker.
II further said that Cunningham lost 1.500,
gave his note for the amount and after
wards refused to pay it and turned States
evidence against other parties to the game
1t charged also that Cunningham stabbed
a man lp the back on account of a woman
Clay denounced Cunningham's campaign
methods and made a scathing arraignment
or his conduct in connection with the cir
cular agitation. To-day Cunningham re-
Plies PIE n, IN a card in the Journal. admitting
stances very differently and denying that
