GUERRY ANSWERS WARNER Hills LETTER.

counties of the state More than that,
will call attention to the fact that every
county In this state is provided with grand
juries and one or more prosecuting off1c-
ers, and have their hundreds or thousands
of citizens who could become more appro-
pirate informers or prosecutors in their
home counties, than 1 would be. And
] wish further to say, as matter of fact,
that in my own county of Bibb know of
no cases of this kind that need my atten-
ton.
The suggestion of Mr.. Hill that a candi-
date for the great Office of governor OF
Georgia cannot condemn certain notorious
evils and expose certain corrupt condi-
lions with a view to reform. without NAM
ing the particular individuals is unworthy
Of him.
For his especial benefit, however. 1 will
give a clue to the information which he
desires upon this subject. He will find
most of these individuals, If not all OF
them, now engaged actively in the sup
port of his candidate for the gubernato-
rial nomination, however many good men
like my friend Hill himself and others
may be likewise engaged.
In conclusion, most positively deny
that the greater part of my Atlanta
speech was devoted to personal attacks
on Mr.. Terrell. 1 suppose, however, the
real difference between me and Mr.. Hill
upon this subject, is on the question as to
what constitutes personal attacks. Under
my view Of it, my discussion and criticism
Of Mr.. Terrell has been absolutely and en-
tirely political, except in reply to his
statement that l had been discharged as
railroad attorney. 1 denied the truth OF
the same, and explained the fact stated
by Mr.. Terrell that he had never been
railroad lawyer. by suggesting as rea-
son for his unemployment, his incompe-
tency for such service. This considered
as justified by his quasi personal attack
and by the facts. But there was In what
said more pleasantly than anything else,
and no bitterness whatever.
Let me repeat; engaged as l am, 1t can
not be expected of me to engage in joint
debate or in newspaper controversies with
any Of Mr.. Terrells captains, though
still express myself as being entirely Will
ing to engage with him in a discussion OF
either character; and 1 trust that Mr.
Hill in answering hereafter letters OF my
friends, should there be occasion, Will In
dealing directly with them not undertake,
as he has done in his late communication
referred to, deal indirectly so pointedly
with me- although I am perfectly willing
to answer any question as to any fact at
all relevant to any issue involved In the
campaign. Yours truly,
DUPONT GUERRY.
Mr.. Hill may reply to this card.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1.-THE
most loquacious member of the 1fty-sev-
enth congress is Hon. John Wesley
Gaines, Of Tennessee. Be it said in no
spirit of criticism, he is upon the floor
of the house of representatives every
time a Republican mentions the Philip
pine Islands; and every time he takes
the floor he speaks until the Republican
appeals to Speaker Henderson to stop
the Tennesseean from interrupting.
Mr. Gaines has made a trip to the Phil
ippine Islands. He went armed with
note book and a pocket full of pencils.
He is therefore well informed on the Phil
ippine question. He believes along with
a good many other brave Democrats that
this country got nothing better by the
purchase of the Philippine Islands than a
lot OF red ants and other troublesome in
sects. This belief is what leads him to
lab at the Republicans every time they
speak OF the glorious and rich islands
over which our flag so proudly floats"
Nobody in congress can cry out: "Mr.
Speaker! with as much indignation and
remonstrative force in the tone as can Mr..
Gaines. He has practiced it so long
against the Republicans that even the
sleepy doorkeepers out in the corridors
recognize II when 1t is let of.
"Mr. Gaines is knocking down some
mody's little Philippine playhouse" they
say to eacn other on these occasions.
The Republican papers have cartooned
the Tennessee member repeatedly and
have roasted him in their news and edi-
torial sections for his persistency In at
lacking their statements, but neverthe-
less he hobs up serenely when an opening
is made for him. They say 1t has become
a habit with him and he can't stop II, but
those who know him best declare he does
1t from a sense OF duty to his country,
and because he is as fearless of hostile

A SON OF THE OLD SOUTH.
BY BISHOP WARREN A. GAMBLER.

a newly found wife, and then the
title to the property so shuffled
about it was thereafter difficult to
locate it. This worldly-wise man
did not belong to the same order as
Hampton and Gordon. Their acts
he would have considered far too
sentimental for imitation If he had
so much as thought of them.
This elevated spirit made Hamp-
ton poor at the last-poor in purse
but rich in manhood and honor
more precious than all the accumu-
lations of all the worshipers of
mammcn.
If what is called the new south"
imagines it will be better off by get
ting away from such ideals and by
becoming more practical, let 1t
learn what that Scripture meaneth
which saith Man shall not live by
bread alone" If with its whirring
spindles and clamorUus commerce 1t
can continue to produce men of the
noble mold of Hampton and Lamar
and Colquitt it will do as well as the
old south, but never better. If with
plethoric purse it becomes incapa-
BILE of producing such men, no
amount of pelf can make up for its
loss in that which constitutes the
real wealth of a natiOn-its man
hood. Cotton yarns and pig iron
cannot compensate a people for the
loss of such possessions.
In the old south there was some
tonic quality which stimulated and
invigorated manhood. 1 really fear
the new south will wake up some
sad morning and find it is able to
manufacture everything but men.
Then we shall be poor indeed.
The old south which gave birth
and nourishment to such mighty
men was not such a benighted re-
gion after all. 1t was not at least
so ignorant and wretched as to need
the services of evangels of light and
life from other sections. May the
new south do as well in its day!

mass" and II every official would only
do that much the unrighteous free pass
would be entirely suppressed, so tar at
least as such officials are concerned. In
those days, in my Judgment the free pass
exercised little or no influence, unaided
and limited as II was, and ! am free to
say that 1 did not reject those furnished
me because 1 thought at that time the
bestowal OF passes was exerting any great
influence upon legislation. but simply be-
cause I conceived the issuance and ac-
ceptance OF the same to be wrong in
principle.
That the free pass is now and has been
used for some years with great effect up
on many OF our officials is a fact to be
much depIored but not denied. And can
say for the information of Mr.. Hill, IL he
does not already know It, that others be-
sides officials are now being furnished with
free railroad passes to go about over the
state in the interest of his candidate, Mr..
Terrell and in opposition of myself; so
that we are not only having to large ex-
tent free pass state government, but a
free pass political campaign.
This state OF facts did not exist when
was senator or railroad attorney.
In conclusion upon this subject, 1 wish
to say that the plank in my platform is
limited to the condemnation of the Gus
tom of issuing free passes to officials
whose duties require them to pass upon
the rights OF railroad companies issuing
such free passes; that ever since l have
had my opinion upon this subject, 1t has
been the same that it is now and has al
ways been outspoken, and that my views
upon similar evils and upon other ques-
lions herein discussed have ever been the
same as they are now.
This is where Frederick was then"
Whether one blast from his bugle horn
was worth at that time thousand men or
not, that one blast was certainly given.
The employment of his bugle then only
suffers by comparison with the employ
ment of his bugle now, and 1t is thus that
my friend Hill has been misled.
1 am before the people of Georgia now
publicly as a candidate for the Democrat
ic gubernatorial nomination upon public
issues and free railroad passism is one of
those issues: and IL is quite natural and
think altogether proper, that 1 should
be giving greater publicity to my views
than heretofore when not candidate for
any office and when performing my duties
in the ranks of Democracy like the great
ocrats.
notice that Mr.. Hill insists that 1
should be an informer or prosecutor rath-
er than a candidate for governor. In re-
ply to this suggestion / wish TO say that
the candidacy is more congenial to my
tastes. and that whether be nominated
and elected or not, I feel sure that even
my candidacy, to say nothing Of my ad-
ministration. has been and win be more
serviceable to the people of Georgia, than
would be my course II l should institute

criticism as schley was of Spanish shells
at Santiago.
He is a striking looking figure when he
is in action. His iron gray hair, worn
rather long, waves in unison with the
motion of his arms, both of which are
constantly pressed into service by Mr..

that he shouts 1t, so that they get 1t in
double doses when they do get 1t.

lican from Indiana was making a spread
eagle speech on the Philippines. He had
been interrupted time and again by the
Democrats. All this time Mr.. Gaines had
been absent from the hall, but along to-
wards the close of Watson's address, just
as the handsome young orator was
reaching up among the stars for few
spell-binding sentences, the Tennessee
member entered. He took in the situation
at a glance The enemy was at larger
Even before Mr.. Gaines reached his seat
he raised hand to attract the attention
of Speaker Henderson. Then in that i'm
passioned tone. he cried;
Mr.. Speaker! Does the gentleman
from Indiana dare to stand here and
He got no further. Watson might dare
to stand there and do whatever 1t was
Mr.. Gaines was about to charge him with,
but he didn't dare to let the Tennesseean
get in one OF his barbed questions.
"Oh, this is too much!' Watson shout
ed, and before the speaker could restore
order Mr.. Gaines had changed his mind
and wouldn't press his point.
Mr. Gaines has opposition this year to
his candidacy for reelection but every
Democrat in the house sincerely hopes
he will come back to congress when the
election is over.
