DRAGGED INTO POLITICS.

We believe the experience Of
electing supreme court judges by a
vote of the people will convince the
people that the shorter method of
electing them by the Legislature is
far more judicious and preferable.
Some newspapers and people cry
out "don't drag the judicial ermine
into the mire of politics" That is
all right and proper, but why did
you push it into the mire OF politics
by making it imperative for a can
didate for Judge to 60 into politics?
Having placed it on the same low
plane as that of securing any other
political office, the inevitable con-
sequence is a candidate for Judge
OF the Supreme Court must go into
politics or obscurity. 1t is just as
inevitable as the law of cause and
effect.
The same process of election, of
securing the nomination, and then
defeating the candidates OF the op-
posite political party at the ballot
box, virtually makes it political
office subject to the same influences.
1t will take coloring from the same
elements and environments that en-
ter into all political campaigns, be-
cause it hinges on the same political
framework.
The candidate for judge has no
choice in the matter and is not re-
sponsible for the dragging" the
judicial ermine into politics. 1t is
the people who placed it there by
their votes. The candidate takes it
up where he finds it, and he makes
the race with a view OF winning,
and he has to adapt himself to the
condition" and not to the "theory.'
The people will find that they
have made mistake by placing the
judicial office irto the corruption Of
politics and will rectify it after a
fair test.

WHAT TT MEANS.

| The Presidential election takes
place next Tuesday. 1t looks now
as if Bryan will be elected. He GER
taihly has good chance. We know
that Hanna with his great corrup-
! ticn fund has to be fought and whip
, ped, but the unpurchasable vote of
the country will be actuated by pat
riotism and be cast without yielding
to the seductive influence of money.
The people are aroused as they have
never been before. They are for
getting all differences and pooling
their issues in the accomplishment
of one thing, the election of Bryan.
His defeat, if it should be brought
about, would only delay and not set
tie the free coinage of both silver
and gold. The people have made it
up in their minds to restore bimetal-
ism. The agitation would 60 on just
the same if Bryan should fail to be
elected. The trusts and syndicates
cannot'be permitted to. control this
government for their own selfish
benefit. The people are determined
to rule. If you vote against Bryan,
you vote to prolong the struggle.
Revolutions do not go backward.
So if you would settle the political
agitation of the money question, you
can do so only by voting for Bryan,
for McKinley's triumph would mean
the retention of the present gold
standard. The country cannot stand
another tour years of such finan-
'cial system, requiring the sale of
bonds to buy gold, with the aceumu-
lation Of debt and interest. Bank
ruptcy would be the inevitable re-
suit. To keep up the gold standard
by going deeper in bonded indebted.
ness, is ruinous. Vote for Bryan
and greater prosperity and settle
the financial agitation. Vote for
John W. Maddox also, that the
cause of silver may have a strong
advocate in Cong

CHARLES CRISP.

The death of Hon. Charles f.
Crisp is public calamity. He was
one of the foremost statesmen of the
country, of wide reputation, popu-
lar and Of great influence. Eyen-
tempered, cool and well-balanced,
he was most lovable character.
In him were the elements Of great

We mourn with the people of Geor-
gia the great loss the commonwealth

WITHDRAWN.

The Populist Special Committee
composed of J. D. Cunningham, J.
L. Sibley, W. L. Peek, L. l.. Glenn
emit aud w. F. Carter, have with
drawn their electoral ticket tor the
State of Georgia. Hon. Thomas
Watson, only a few days before,
protested against such action by the
following telegram:
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 21.-
The Georgia electors will not be
withdrawn. The convention named
them and they accepted the trust.
They owe it to populism in Georgia
and elsewhere to stay in the field.
Thomas E. Watson.
Notwithstanding the Populist
Committee has practically dlsbanded
their party and abandoned Watson
by Withdrawing their state electors
against Watson's wishes, Peek is out
of the way for Congress and the
leaders are trying to play into the
hands of the Republicans.

LET 1T NOT BE.

The death of Hon. Charles F.
Crisp, the Democratic nominee tor
United States Senate, precipitates
the possibility Of a new deal in
Georgia politics. This is threaten
ed by the probable candidacy of
Governor w. Y. Atkinson for
United States Senator. If he should
enter the race and be successful it
will entail a new election for Gov
ernor, something that is to be re-
GREETED and something that the peo-
pie do not want.
We have no personal objection to
Governor Atkinson, but we do
| object to another election tor Gov
ernor. The people are tired OF
elections, they have grown weary
OF them and want rest, so they
can get down to business. Gov
e1nor Atkinson should not be a
candidate or elected on this &C.
count, because it would involve one
of the hottest political fights in tho
history ot:the State. The Populists
and Republicans would combine
and with Tom Watson as their can
didate for Governor, and. the apathy
and indifference on the part OF the
Democrats, the result would be in
| doubt. n
Governor Atkinson has been hon
ored by the people of Georgia by
reelection, and he should not lay
down that honor and ask them tor
another before he has performed
the duties entrusted to him. 1t
would be a stab at the vitals of the
party by engendering bitterness and
dissension, and he should not let
his ambition and greed get the bet
ter Of his gratitude and patriotism
and to bring upon the people
another unnecessary election.
There are plenty Of good and
true men in Georgia who can fill
the position Of Senator just as ably
and acceptably as can Governor
Atkinson, end there is no good
reason why he should monopolize
all the Offices because he has an
ambition to do 80.
After all the responsibility will
rest on the members .: the Legis-
lature, and we trust they will not be
persuaded to do the party and the
people the great injustice of bring
ing on another election for Gov
ernor, which the elevation Of
Governor Atkinson 70 the United
States Senate would do.
The newspapers, the speakers
and the people do not want another
fight at this time, or later on.
In fact there ought to be a law
to prohibit Governor being eligible
to another Office until the term to
which he has been elected expires.
1t is a wrong to the people and
our Representatives in the Legis,
lature ought to sit down on such
inordinate greed for Office by re-
iusing to vote for Governor Akin
son.
We have cheerfulIy supported
Governor Atkinson in his last two
races, and we think he is due his
constituents to stand true to the
trust he sought, as this is criti-
cal crisis i'll the party's history.
Congressman Crisp refused to ac.
cept the appointment of U. s. |
Senator to succeed Senator Colquitt
because his party needed his SER
vices as Speaker of the House al
though he was ambitious TO be
Senator. Governor Atkinson should
be as patriotic and discharge the
duties placed upon him by the sut-
frages of lis people before he seeks
another. Not to do so ought to
work his defeat.
