THAT LETTER.

Erom the Savannah News.
The point jusJ now is, did Col. Cand-
Ter make political blunder in writing
such a letter? l. is evident, from what
he SAYS, that he was satisfied that many OF
the leaders who opposed Gen. Evans are
now opposing him. If they are opposing
him, then the letter can do Gel. Gambler
no harm. In fact. it may do him good,
because it is better to have open oppo-
nents than secret ones. AS long as LIS OPP
pcnents worked against him in the dark
he was not able TO combat them with as
much show of success as he will have
now that he has political enemies. Col.
Gambler has the reputation OF being a
politician who makes better showing
when be has opposition than when he
has the field pract cally to himself. He
is a born fighter, and the hotter the fight
ing is the more he seems to enjoy it.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
If Colonel Gambler had reason to be-
lieVe that tkIs opposition is being hatch
ed out by 1.-The men who CONTROL" and
that he was being antagOnized by GER
tain element in the party, he has a right
to say so. The severity Of the language
written for publication)i a matter likely
to be influenced by the feeling of the wri-
ter and the person addressed. That Ian
guage was employed which a careful
politician, who tries to run with the hare
ana hold with the hounds, would not
have used only convinces the people
that the man who is.asking their support
| is not a political trimmer who tries to
{ stay serenely on the fenc9, but strOng,
rugged man, who has opinions and
speaks them plainly and unmistaka-
| bly, Clearly the bringing out OF this letter
is an effort to injuIe Colonel Gambler, but
those who have given it publicity may
find that it is live wire thar is more
dangerous to the men who are handling
it than the man who charged it with
electricity.
| From the Americus Recorder.
| The letter was a private one not in
tended for publication, but which has
! been published without Col. Gamblers
consent. He says it was given no per-
sonal application by him, but if the cap
| fits anybody who desires to put it on
! he is ready to accept the 8ponsibility.
There is really nothing in The letter to
! become excited over, yet there will be d
host VINO will use it agains5 Ge0Tgia's
favorite, Allen D. Gambler, in order to
further their own political preferments.
| The Times-RecordeT unhesitatingly
Cbaracterizes the publication of Mr..
| Gamblers letter as a malicious, unprn
! fessiOnal act. There is no power under
| Gods sun that could have induced the
| Times-Recorder to have employed such
underh and and unprOfessional methods i,
e7en though it were to get even with a
bitter enemy. Surely the tide of pro-
| fesslonal ethics is ebbing low in the riv-
er that flows by Rome.
From the Valdosta Times.
| The language Of Hon. Allen GAMBLER
used to convey his opinion of the forces
| that put Governor Atkinson in Office
| if it was his language-Was rather strong
ana indlscreet.
From the Macon News.
! There is not word in Gamblers letter
| that cannot be endorsed by any man who
wants to see clean methods prevail in
Georgia politics.
