deny it, you simply make bad mat
ter worse.
The News only object in abiding
to your incendiary circular was to
reason with and induce you to stop
such methods. But you were self
opinionated, and you would not listen
to reason. On the contrary you con.
tinued to send out these and other
circulars and you kept up this style
of campaign until the decenCy Of the
State began to revolt. And then, at
last, you saw the error of your way
and now you are trying to craw-
fish out of it.
No; gentlemen, you started out
with wrong conception Of the stu
alton.
Even the Telegraph says of it;
zone, at least, of these blunders is
Of the kind that can be, with justice,
called q crime. We allude to the cir
cular, extensively distributed, in
tended to attract negro votes to the
Democratic ticket"
The righteous Indignation which
your plan Of campaign has aroused
within our own party has now fright
ened you into a denial of all respon,
sibility for the Objectionable circulars.
You either seek 60 place the blame
upon others, or make it appear that
someone has been lying on you.
And your effort to sneak out Of it is,
if possible, even more contemplate
than the "orime" itself.
But why should you make denial?
And what do you hope to gain there.
by? Do not Mr.. Atkinson's own ut
terances on the stump convict you?
Has not Mr.. Atkinson himself said
to and about the negro ali and more
than your incendiary circulars con-
tain? Is it not true that his own
speeches prove that your plan of
campaign was mutually agreed upon,
and up to the time you began to see
the disastrous effects lit, persistently
pursued by all Of you?
Now, gentlemen, to disprove your
responsibility for the circulars in
question and for the plan of campaign
which you have seen fit TO adopt, you
will have to break down the affidavits
which thousands of reputable men
throughout Georgia will BE- willing to
make as to Mr.. Atkinson's public ut
terances, which correspond aim ost
verbatim with the language Of your
circulars. You will have to impeach
soma Of the most reputable politicians
of your party, who have received
these circulars direct from you You
will have TO 60 a step further and
make your own printer swear falsely
a out the circulars which you have
had printed and paid for. As
shrewd lawyers and as shrewd poll
ticians as you are, you know you
have a weak case to begin. With. But
if you want to go to trial The News
is prepared to anne uuce ready.

ayers are disposed to shirk all
responsibility for the circulars in

issued by or with the knowledge and
consent of the Democratic campaign

ter is from an Atlanta newspaper

Kimbsll House; Rooms l16, 1874
A. S. CLAY, Chairman,
Democratic Executive Committee.
Among the campaign literature &C
companying the incendiary circular
in question was copy of Mr.. Bryan's
speech of acceptance, leatlet on
what the Democratic administration
has done for Georgia, and another
leahet giving the receipts and ex-
ponses Of the State for last year.
Now, is it possible that such litera-
ture was sent out by other than the
Democratic executive or campaign
committee? Is it at all likely that
the negroes would have sent out
copies of Mr.. Bryan's speech of &C
cepta4ce? Is it possible that the
Popu,ists would have sent out afets
showing what the Democratic admin
istration has done for Georgia? Isn't
it more likely that the Democratic
campaign managers would attend to
this? And if the Democratic man
ayers sent out these leaflets, they
also sent out the Adolphns Duncan
circular-BECAUsE THEY WERE SENT
OUT IN THE SAME ENVELOPE,
Now, who is goipg to believe the
Democratic executive committee
when they Geny all connection with
the circular in question? Nobody.

ALMOST every man past middle
age, perhaps before that time with
some, has fondncss of thinking
when the days of hard work will
be over, and that he will be able
TO rest during his declining years.
But as the latter approach how
hard it is to break away and throw
off the harness and how many we
see, who, after they havo done
this, regret the loss of their work
and accustomed activity in the af-
fairs of men. Speaking of this in
a letter, Il friend thus voices the
feelings and thoughts of the cold
man" of The Times: "But do YOU
know that it sometimes occurs to
the old man that dropping active
part IN Sus5i ness after long years
of devotion to then, has dismal,
gloomy aspect; 1T is musty OF
death an attitude of waiting for
the summons; a sort of laying
down the sh ovcl and the hoe, hang
ing up the fiddle ard the bow, as
though the work and pleasures Of
life alike were cndod. On the 9th.
err hand, though the body may be
bent and the step lag, the hair gray
and the hand bit shaky, it always
seems TO the old man that there is
Springlike freshness in the heart
of him who keeps the fiddle strings
strung for a merry tune, and the
hoe in his hand ready for slash
at offending weeds, until, u mo-
mont dark, he wakes to the
Springtims on the other side"

An freshman in attendance at

curious turn, he inquired of the
keeper the name of the wonderful
animal. The keeper seeing an OPP

the elephant took him about the
waist with his probosis, slammed
