CAMPAIGN COMMENT.
Whit tie state Papers Saw About the
Kace for Governor.

WHIT tie state Papers say About the
/ Race for Governor.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
The idea that the people OF Georgia
/ will ego into mourning or hold lndlg-
nation meetings because, in private
letter to a friend, Colonel Gambler
criticised the political methods OF
! Governor Atkinson is toe grim joke
| for the average Georgian TO cOntem-
plate with straight face. IT is diff
cult to see how those fellows who are
beating the tOm-tons and pretending
righteous Indignation can look each
other in the face without broad grin
at their own etfrOntery.
Frorq the Americas Herald.
The publication of the letter has
| been done to further the chances OF the
| administration ring and fell fiat. The
people have reached the conclusion
I that there has been too much ring
politics in our state, and are sick and
tired of the game of politics as now
| played.
From the Rome Hustler.
Allen d Gambler will overcome the
politicians. The people have in him
the leader they need to whip the ira
ders and fixers. The PloWboy of Pig
con Roost will be Georgia's next gov
ernor. Mark the prediction.
From the Pickens Herald.
Gambler clubs are being formed all
over Georgia. The sensible thing to
do would be to resolve the whole state
into one gigantic Gambler club and
then whirl in and put the old man in
to office by the biggest tidal wave since
Noah's time.
From the Conyers Weekly.
ThesCandler ,euter has stirred things
up in some quarters. but the man who
enters the race hoping to make capital
of it and win out will be the worst dis
appointed demagogue that was ever
showed under in Georgia.
From the Hampton Herald.
We are for Allen d. Gambler for
governor because he is a statesman, a
gentleman and true democrat, And
then, we feel that he is the choice Of
the true, unringed democracy.
From the Telfair Yeoman.
Judge Atkinson may develop Consid-
cradle strength and make respectable
race but cannot be nominated. Allen
d. Gambler is as strong in South GeOr-
gia as Judge Atkinson.
From the Abbeyille Chronicle
1t has been apparent from the date
of the announcement Of his candidacy
that Mr. Gambler is the choice of the
people of Georgia to succeed Governor
Atkinson.
From the Blakely Observer
His over Jealous friends have succeed
ed in pulling Judge Spencer r. Atkin-
son into the gubernatorial race.
From the Thcmasville Times.
A Gambler Club, with membership
of one hundred, was organized in
brownsville yesterday.
From the Monroe Messenger.
The track is bot for Allen d. Gambler,
and every pig path is filled with his ad-
vOCates.
From the Buchanan Times.

Allen, POO, GOO strong"

Senator Proctor spoke briefly on
Monday in favor of the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands. He dwelt with
special emphasis upon the military
aspect of the question, citing the ex-
istence along the Atlantic coast of
the United States of England's Gordon
of fortified posts, extending from
Halifax to the Bermudas and the
West Indies. He called attention to
England's naval station and fortress
at Esquimalt, in British Columbia, off
the northwest corner of this nation.
IF England should accept the SOW
ereignty of Hawaii, as she may do if
we reject the pending offer, cher
drum beat might be heard almost
around the United States." This
country could not play the dog in the
manger, refusing to take the islands
or to allow others to possess them.
Vermonters who favor annexation
and it ought to be the great majority,
will heartily commend Senator Proc
tor for his strong words in support of
this -WdtcFmodn.

President Mckinley said in his re-
cent speech in New York: cit will
not suffice for citizens nowadays to
say simply that they are in favor of
sound money. That is not enough.
The peoples purpose must be given
the vitality of public law" The busi-
ness men and the larger part of the
community generally demand i'm
mediate sound money legislation
which shall encourage trade, COM
merce and manufactures, by giving
an honest, stable standard of value
and an adequate banking and cur
rency system. If anything is ac-
complished it will be at the call of the
business men. They must make
themselves felt.

The Waterman, inasmuch as it can
not harp this time on the "farmer
candidate" for governor huns the
farmer refrain for a lieutenant gov
ernor. That is well enough, but the
selection of a man because he is or is
not a farmer is not only nonsense,
but is generally done for selfish Or
sinister purpose. Let's stand out for
a man because he seems to be the one
most fit for the place, let him be a
farmer, lawyer, anything, if he
possesses the qualifications. The
Watchman, however, makes some
good selections in naming Alpha Mes
ser, Victor I. Spear, and Homer w.
Vail. They are all suitable candi-
dates, but of the three "Victor"
sounds a little the best. Let us all go
in for Spear; he is entirely worthy
and nothing can be said or thought
against him.

cause; another theory is that it might
have been the work of some desper.
ate character like Booth or Giteau
done entirely on his own account;
and still another belief that the ex-
plosion occurred within the ship itself
from some cause, spontaneous com
bustiOn, electric spark or otherwise.
There are all sorts of speculation. 1t
may be impossible for some days to
ascertain the real cause of the disas
ter. The officers of the ship are
guarded in their statements.
The explosion occurred little be-
fore 10 o'clock at night when the men
had retired. Their quarters are in
the forward part of the ship where
the explosion occurred, while the
quarters of the officers were in the
rear. Only two Of the officers were
lost. The entire number of the saved
was 96. The saved and the wounded
have been removed to Key West. The
ship is sunk in water which nearly
covers the whole work, except some
of the higher masts, ETC., which are
not destroyed. The extent of the in
jury is not ascertained at this writing.
The Maine IS a battle ship of the
second class and was regarded as one
of the best in the navy. She was
built at the Brooklyn navy yard and is
318 feet long. 81 feet broad and her
mean draft was 21 feet. She had two
turretts and two military masts. Her
engines were rated at 9,293 horse
power. She carried four ten inch and
six six inch breech loading, with a
large number of smaller and rapid
firing guns; also battery for torpe-
does. Captain Sigsbee was her COM
mander.
There is up to this time (Monday)
nothing new or definite in regard to
the cause of the disaster. There are
all sorts of rumors and speculations,
but no facts. Official Investigations
under naval authorities, were begun
this morning by divers and whatever
else can help to solve the mystery.

BLOWN UP IN HA TANA HARBOR.

The United States, and the world
for that matter, was thrown into great
excitement on Wednesday morning
by the announcement by telegram
from Havana, Cuba, that the United
States warsh1p, Maine, had been blown
ND the night previous with the loss of
two officers and over $50 men. The
truth was verified by later dispatches.
The cause Of the accident, if indeed it
was an accident, has not at this time
been fully determined. The worst
fears are that it might have been
through the treachery of the Spanish
i'm some way, though such a thing
would do the greatest harm to their

THE CALIFORNIA TOURISTS.
Editors of the Monitor:

From Harpers Ferry we proceeded
to Cincinnati, a city bristling with
energy and push. In fact when we
got down into Tennessee, where
things took on a more indOlent air,
the people were SO charmingly polite
I wanted to say something pleasant
and com plimentarY in return, and SO
I remarked to Tennesseean, what
wonderful perseverance it must have
taken to build the railroad through
their state, where the mountains were
pierced by fourteen tunnels! All, said
he, "that road was built by the city of
Cincinnati.' I was not surprised, for
imagined they would not let noun
tains stand in the way of their sue
cess. One feature of their city is il
lustrativee of this, for a part of the
city is walled in by hills SO steep and
high, that ,egress by any ordinary
means of ascension would be an i'm
possibility, and SO three lines of in
clined railways are built. One so
nearly perpendicular that passengers
and freight are drawn in light car
to the top; but the other two, which
seem sleeper than the Mt. Washing
ton incline, the street cars are drawn
on to an enclosed platform and the
well filed cars, platform, and all, are
drawn by cable to the top. AS roofs
of houses, church spires, &c., recede
far below, one breathes sigh of re-
lief when the car is safely landed at
the station above. On top of one of
these is located their finest park, call
ed Eden Park. and rightly named, for
it must look like a veritable Garden
of Eden in summer. In this park is
the Art Museum and Art school, both
of which would do credit to any city.
1t was wise provision which placed
them SO far above the smoke of the
city, where so much soft coal is burn
ed, that the beautiful and stately
blocks, fine churches, and public build
ings take on dingy appearance after
time. Then too, beside the beauties
of the park, very extended panora-
ma is spread out at your feet, with the
broad Ohio in the foreground, making
an harmonious whole. Art in nature,
and Nature in art. Near the park is
another industry in the artistic line,
and that is the manufactory of the fa-
nous Rookwood Pottery, so rich in
deep and harmonious coloring.
One disadvantage in seeking the
shores of our remarkable rivers as
site on which to build fine cities there
is danger OF inundation in time of ex-
treme high water, as was the case of
portion of this interesting city few
days after our departure. We re-
mained here two days, the senior
members of our party to visit rel
atives, and we to rest and do the
the town. From here we proceeded
to Chattanooga. We were fortu.
nate in having one of the ioveliest
days imaginable to do Lookout
Mountain. Here we were drawn, by

1
half of the ascent being almost per-
pendicular. We saw the rock on
which Jeff. Davis stood and proclaim
| ed that mountain top an impregna-
BILE fortress which no army could
reach and live, and yet our intrepid
boys in blue scaled those dizzy heights
and planted the stars and stripes on
the topmost pinnacle. I said, "God
bless those valiant SOULS" and our
coTored guide echoed an amen.
There is one point on the mountain
where in a perfectly clear day, it is
said one can look into seven different
states: Chicamauga, Missionary Ridge
Orchard Knob, and other places of
historic interest can be plainly seen,
while the beautiful city, the country
beyond, and the broad Tennessee
winding in graceful curves for many
miles makes a picture too beautiful to
describe. We found some sad fea-
lures in travelling through the South;
such wretched homes for the poor,
both colored and white, which makes
one feel how much money and time is
yet needed for home missionary work.
We stopped at Birmingham, Ala,
about three hours to make connection
with another train. A city of about
twenty five thousand Inhabitants and
where there were some fine business
blocks, an iron mining center. For
the sake OF travelling by day, we also
stopped over night in Meridian, Miss,
a city with a population of about six
teen thousand. We found their best
hotel very cheerless place, and al
together these smaller southern cities
have an unkempt look which does not
accord with New England ideas. The
most interesting feature OF that por-
ton of Mississippi we passed was the
immense forests of pines, miles and
miles in length, their tall trunks as
straight AS an arrow. The sad part of
it was the laying them low for lumber,
and disfiguring their beauty by grid
ling them for turpentine and resin.
Our next stopping place was New Or
leans. This is very attractive city
w COtAAOCo1 Ooo e~S ~ PAc~NS N'A AOOANNhcO
I should consider there were some
drawbacks. In the first place that
mighty river, s'The Father of Waters,"
flowing SO majesticly above the city,
with only the levees constructed by
man to hold this mighty volume in
place, and these, they are at present
increasing in height. This height of
water above the city makes surface
drainage necessity, also surface bur-
ial. Their cemeteries are veritable
city of the dead. The magnificent
tombs and mausoleums all being
built above ground make a picture
wholly unlike anything 1 had ever
seen. That is another reason why I
should not choose residence there,
for it might necessitate the labors of
lifetime to provide a fitting recep
tacle for ones remains. But there is
much that is beautiful and attractive.
The broad avenues, in the better resi-
Dental portion, lined with palms and
other tropical trees and plants. Then
in the old Exposition grounds there
are those grand old live oaks, with
branches laden with long and graceful
fringes of Spanish moss.
