Governor Atkinson and Judge Turner,

The Outrageous Methods Used to

4 MOST DESpICADLE CIRCULAR.
a Political Document That Shames South.
ern Manhood-A Lying Appeal to
the Prejudices and Pas
sions of Ignorance.

A secret circular, which is being sent
out to the negroes of the state in the
interest of w. Y. Atkinson, has fallen
INTO the hands of The COMMERCIAL.
1t is so remarkable il character and
diSreputable in tone that its publica-
tion will arouse indignation in every
respectable home in Georgia.
1t is one of the most vicious and out
rageous appeals that an insatiate crav-
ing for official spoils could evolve. i!
Below is the circular in full:
ATKINsoN's POSITION.
There can be no doubt that Governor
w. Y. Atkinson is sound when it
comes to the matter of protecting the
lives of citizens accused of crime, He
has stood strong and steadfast in his
determination to let the law take is
course in every instance that has been
called to his attention. He has taken
every precaution in his power to pre-
vent mob violence, and uphold the
law.
In his special message to the legis-
lature he says:
pressing lawlessness, but increases it.
One mob begets another mob. We all
know of many wrongs it has done, and
of mistakes it has made in selecting
its victims. How many innocent men
have been sacrificed by this lawless
o)urt can never be known, for it denies
It's victims the right to be heard in
their own defense, and then closes
their mOutbs forever -
Could any language be Drawer or
truer than these words of our COVER
nor? Speaking further, he says:
"These mobs, by violating the law,
create a spirit of lawlessness and indi-
reotly increase the very crime which
they seek to suppress. In several in
stances the parties lynched in this
state have been taken from the hands
OF officers and most brutally, cruelty,
and inhumanly treated. Such con-
duct cannot be too severely condemned,
In my opinion it will be wise for the
general assembly to enact a law pro-
Viding that where a person is taken
from the hands of officers and mall
treated, or murdered, that the COVER
nor be authorized to remove from office
the man from whose custody he WAS
taken; that the administrator or the
family of the deceased shall have the
right to recover from the county the
full value of his life. In all such in

Then there were great shouting,
and not only shouting, but great re-
joicing for the anger of all mis-
takes was over, and strong ticket,
a clean ticket, a peoples ticket-in-
vincible at the polls-had been
named.
On motion the nominations were
made unanimous. The candidates
were both called for, and in short
earnest speeches planted themselves
upon the Chicago platform, endorsed
the resolutions as passed by the con-
ventiOn and accepted the honors
conferred upon them, promising to
fight the battles of the party and to
carry the Democratic banner in
triumph and success.
The slate makers and slate break
ers, those who awhile before had
fought as men will fight in politics,
shook hands, buried the Ratchet

Convention Notes.

The uninstructed delegates eau
cussed in the Masonic Temple in the
morning and resolved not to sup
port the town slate. They also
agreed on LESSEE Tomlinson for
Chairman, and J. NJ. Foster for
Secretary. They represented the
people; hence their slate went
through.
What the convention did to the
slate was to smash it into smith
Greens.
The convention was for fee reform,
and dead against any man whose
record was against fee reform.
The temper of the convention and
the resolutions passed should be a
warning to the present office holders
not to join the lobby this winter
when the legislature is discussing
fee reform.
The Columbia delegates were aw-
fully polite with their compliment
aries, but the convention was on to
their little game.
AS soon as Smith developed his
strength, the 9Th, 9Th, 18th and 9Th dis
tricts, (Mr. Courtney's districts) left
Courtney and threw their strength
to Smith and nominated him.
Then when the 18th, 18th, l4th, 18th
and 18th districts, (Smith's districtsl
