LET'S HAvE NO BITTERNESS.

THE NEWS. in common with the very
large majority of the democrats OF the
second congressional district, who are
contending for the free coinage OF both
gold and silver and true democratic
principles regrets the effort that is be-
ing made to create strife in the ranks
TO the silver advocates. The success
of the silver people is endangered with
out some degree of harmony. OF this
we are all assured. The two sides
will line up good and strong and stout,
and do the best for their opinions. To
this there can be no objection. But
the masses of the people are on the side
of silver, and they are not in humor
to give quarter or comfort to the man
no matter how loudly he may protest
his devotion to the cause.
Among the people who know him
Judge Griggs needs no defense from an
attack made upon him by Mr.. Walters
or any other man who is making los
ing race for congress. Through a
| long and brilliant public career he has
carefully guarded every trust reposed
! in him and served the people with a
fidelity and ability that has scarcely
been equaled. He was elected to the
high and responsible positions he has
held without opposition almost every
time, and among his voluntary endors-
ers was the DOugherty county gentle
man who has recently seen fit to make
a violent and unwarranted assault up
on him.
Judge Griggs' silver record cannot be
brought into question by Well-infOrm-
ed people. He has been perfectly sim
cere and consistent in his advocacy of
the coinage of that metal, and in 1892,
as delegate to the national democrat
ic convention at Chicago, he voted to
incorporate in the platform declara
ton for free and unlimited silver coin
age at 16 to /. Since then he has been a
persistent advocate of the restoration
of silver as a basic money. We do not
question Colonel Walters sincerity as
an advocate of free silver now, but is
his record as clear as that of Judge
Griggs? In 1892, when Judge Griggs
was putting forth his best efforts for
the white metal, Colonel Walters, who
was then presidential elector for this
congressional district, was making
speeches in opposition to silver, and in
a speech at the opera house in Dawson
declared that the free coinage of silver
at Is to was.impracticable and undem-
ocratic, and that it would bring ruin
and disaster upon the country. Was
Colonel Walters sincere in 1892, and is
he sincere now? We are charitable
enough to credit him with honesty of
opinion then and now, though his posi-
ton has been reversed.
We have written this deliberately
and kindly, and for the sole purpose of
putting before the people some things
they should know and suggesting that
less fighting among ourselves would be
more profitable. Let no man do any
thing or make use of such express
sions as he will regret later on. THE
NEWS will make no war on any man,
but will treat all kindly and consider
ately. This is democratic newspaper,
and until it hauls down its democratic
flag will keep in the middle of the road
1t will make no attack on fellow demo
Gratis, and it now and here counsels
moderation. Let's not have another
such exhibition of bitterness.

JUDGE BOWER RESIGNS.

Judge B. B. Bower, who announced
three months ago that he was candi-
date for congress, forwarded his resig-
nation to the governor as judge of the
Albany circuit on the first of April.
The resignation will take effect tomor-
row. Solicitor w. N. Spence has been
appointed to succeed Judge Bower,
while Captain w. E. Wooten has been
named as the successor of Mr.. Spence.
1t is presumed that Judge Bower
will now enter upon more active can
vass for the congressional nomination,
if such thing is possible.
For fourteen years he has worn the ju-
dicial ermine with honor to himself and
the state. His bareer on the bench
has marked him as an able, upright and
conscientious public servant, and in
common with his large number of
friends and admirers The News re-
grets that his service to the people in
an official capacity has come to close.
THE Macon Evening News has kept
an eye on the recent political happen
ings in this district, and remarks that
if the boys in the second hope to wor-
ry jim Griggs with mud they will have
to bake it. Griggs used to ego wash
ing in the creek land was the victor in
many hard fought mud battle long
before he became a politician. And
early training will tell.

lists are making themselves prominent

MEXICO has an ingenious plan for
facilitating verdicts in jury trials.
Two supernumerary jurors are drawn
to sit near the jury box and listen to
the evidence and arguments. If any
one of the regular jury falls i'll or is
otherwise disqualified from going on
one of the 'supes" takes his place. In
this way they avoid what is often seen
in an American court-a long trial
rendered useless when it is nearly fin
ished by the sudden illness or death of
one Juror.

IN another column of this paper the
parallel column is used upon Captain
Hammond, causing that gentleman to
stand forth bodily in very unpleasant

retract the slanderous and unfounded
charge he has made. Is he equal to the
emergency? We pause to see.
