HUSTLED HIM OFF.
The People of Augusta Did Not
Want n LynchIng There.

Augusta, Ga. Aug. A.-When the story
of the attempted assault on Miss Con-
nors by the negro. Will Sims, last night
became known this morning, there was
soon heard the usual lynching talk in the
hotel corridors and on the street corners,
and II is probable that If the negro had
remained in the Jail here there would
have been some effort, more or less seri-
Gus, to get at him. This community does
not approve OF lynch law, and " the negro
had been kept In jail here he would have
been protected, even to the point of firing
on the mob, but this sort of thing is very
unfortunate for a community, IL matters
not how It ends, and 1t was decided to rid
the community of the menace Of his pres
ence.
Miss Connors had been on the Sunday
excursion 10 Tybee. and the train reached
town last night about 1 o'clock. When
She got out of the train she asked negro

convent, where she was employed as
domestic. She knew very little of the city.
even by daylight, and was completely
turned round when she stepped OFF the
train after midnight. The negro man said,
wait where you are until / leave these
two women at their homes, only short
distance away, and will show you to
the convent. He soon returned, but in
stead OF carrying MISS COnnOrS nome, led
her towards the outskirts of the city, and
when retired place near the glass factory
was reached, attempted to overpower her
She screamed and struggled with her as
sailant, and another negro who CHANGED to
be passing in the road a short distance
away, ran to the spot and Sims fed
The matter was reported at once to the
police headquarters and created a sensa-
ton. The negro was caught in the SUI
burbs this morning before day and was
lodged in Jail. The arrest was made on a
warrant issued by Judge W. F. Eve as
commissioner of roads and revenues.
Judge Eve then issued an order COM
hitting Sims to Fulton county jail with
the concurrence of Judge Galloway,
and he was taken to Atlanta on the 1:10
train, where he will await a speedy trial.
The plan of sending Sims to Atlanta was
agreed on this morning by a conference
held at the court house. 1t was partici-
pated in by Judge Galloway. Judge Eve,

CLAY TO CUNNINGHAM.
Democrats VIII Play Fair-Wiu the
POpuIists DO LilSewises


Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 24-Chairman Clay
of the state democratic executive
committee to-day wrote the follow
ing letter to Chairman Cunningham
Of the populist state committee,
in reply to a communication from
the populist campaign manager. asking
him to join in a recommendation to the
counties for a division of election man
ayers:
Atlanta. Ca. Aug. A.-Hon. John D.
Cunningham, Chairman Peoples Party
Executive Committee: Dear Sir-Hour
favor addressed to me as chairman Of the
state committee, bearing date Of Aug. 10,
1886, relative to election managers at the
coming election, came duly TO hand.
have been absent from the city for two
DAYS in South Georgia, and returned on
Sunday morning. hence 1 have not re-
piled to your communication sooner.
In reply to your letter, 1 beg TO say
that tile democratic party has always
been the champion of fair elections in this
state. 1t has given TO Georgia one OF the
purest and best state governments in this
union. Its record in the past is before
the people. II has endeavored to repre-
sent pure government, and / hope 10 see
II continue in this course. Neither you
nor myself have any authority to say who
shall manage the elections. Our power is
simply advisory. We can simply recon-
mend. / believe that the election man
ayers in each militia district in Georgia
should be honorable, upright and intell-
gent men; / think IL nothing but right
and proper that both populists and demo-
Gratis in each militia district in Georgia
be represented by a manager and a clerk.
] think that the executive committee of
each party in each militia district in Geor-
Hhafr-
respective districts I will go further and
say that it gives me great pleasure, as
chairman of the state committee, to rec
ommend that in each militia district, both
the populists and the democrats be repre-
scented by manager and a clerk. hope
TO see these managers selected from our
best men. Men who will see to IL that
every legal voter who may desire to cast
his ballot may have the privilege Of doing
so, and seeing to 1t that ii is fairly
counted
80 far as lies in my power as chairman
of the state committee, IL affords me
pleasure to say that ! will use every in
fluence I possess to see that this policy
Is carried out. In may counties in the
Tenth congressional district the popul Il
party is largely in the majority. l am
Informed that in many instances in the
last election we were without managers.
l hope that this recommendation will
be carried out in every militia district in
Georgia. No man is more anxious than
myself to see that our elections are fairly
and honestly managed, and that every
legal voter in this state may have the
right to cast his vote freely and voluntari-
ly, as he may deem to be to the best in
terest of his state.
Il recommend this first, because be-
aieve it is right and second because l
believe that If this is done the democratic
party will receive a much larger majority
