If Hoke Smith should find out that Sid had
said naughty things about him, he would no
doubt be real angry at him.
We have never had the honor Of Mr.. Taps
acquaintance, and for that reason we are at
some disadvantage in guessing his purpose IN
aiming his spite, (probably too pent up to be
entirely devoid of malodor that nauseates,) at
Mr. Smith
His TRADE, Ono word in the language better
describes his effort.) is ninety parts spleen and
ten parts gall. Not one statement OF fact IS
worthy of notice, if ever so true The CHARGE
that Mr.. Smith has accepted $4,000 fees from
railroad companies for professional work before
the courts of the land is altogether to Mr..
Smiths credit-few lawyers could command
such fees. Mr.. Tapp's fees have no doubt been
much smaller. But Mr.. Tapp defends the cor
poration lawyers, in order to condemn Mr.
Smith by the contrast, although Mr.. Tapp
won his spurs in political cam palgnlng cusslng"
corporation attorneys, Mr.. Smith has devoted
his best efforts to the other side, refusing what
many reputable lawyers consider good thing
as corporation counsel, because it was more to
his liking to take the side of the widow OF some
unfortunate railroad employee who had lost his
life in the service of the great corporations, the
exceptions being the cases cited by the splenetc
Sidney, where the railroad company recognized
his ability by paying him an unusual fee.
But Sid is 80 worked up that he promises
that he may get in the race for governor him.
self, in order to beat Mr.. Smith. Well, If he
does decide to run, it will be we'll for him
to make the announcement through the papers,
lest large number of people remain in bhsstul
ignorance of his candidacy, Sidney.
Editor Bateman, of the Fort Gaines Sentl-
mel, the unusually bright editor of one of our
most appreciated exchanges, falls into false
logic in rendering an excuse (where none IS
needed for his support of North Georgia can
didates.
In discussing the rights (and the abilities)
of the senator's to select either North Georgia
or South Geargia man, or neithea, as president
of the senate, he says:
In accordance with this view, we
submit that the senator's from the sew
eral districts in the state at least, or
ought to be, men of the highest order
of integrity and wisdom, chosen as the
wisest, strongest and most patriotic IN
their districts"
Our brother is eminently correct IN his
contention. We are glad to admit that the
point is we'll taken. The senators are men OF
integrity and wisdom, strong and patriotic;
they are all right, in spite of the rule, the wise
rule, of rotation, by which the several counties
(sections if you please) of their districts have
the right to furnish the senator by turns.
Now if the Sentinel and its class of papers,
who seek an excuse for supporting North
Georgia candidate for governor will drop their
tomyrot about being as broad as the state
and get broad enough to ackno Wedge
that no harm come to the state
by giving some wise and patriotic South Geor-
gian the office once in every two or three de-
cades we will be in humor to hope they are
sincere.
