BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
We are reliably informed also tn at Col. Bill
lv Osborne will not support Hon. Fl oke Smith.
The reformers are undoubtedly badly mixed

Come to Fitzgerald July Fourth and see the

Editor Quincy did fairly we'll considering
the task he had on his hands

If Hon. Hoke Smith enters the race for gov.
ernor, Mr.. Cleveland and Judge Parker ought
to come down and make speeches Tor him.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
AS friend of Hoke Smiths we make in all
seriousness this proposition to the Courler-Dls-
patch, that we will use our best efforts to secure
the services of Judge Parker and ex-Presldent
Cleveland if he will make conscientious effort
to secure the services of Mary Ellen Lease and
Coin Harvey for it's candidate. Precisely the
same reason exists in both uggestlons.-F1tz-
gerald Enterprise.
Would not that be rich campaign? To
manage Mr.. Cleveland we would pit Mary Ellen
Coin Harvey would be more than match tor
Judge Parker. We are not sure but that he
would have some time left on his hands so he
could help Mary Ellen (if she should need help
and then the fur would fly.
But in all seriousness, we do not think it
necessary to bring anybody to Georgia to work
for "our candidate" At the proper time the
farmers, the 1aborers, the clerks and the masses
of the people generally will be found supporting
him. This is the poor mans fight against
well, name it-Courier Dispatch.
Name it we will. Against the machine pol
iticians and the railroad lobby. That's easy.
The Sparta Ishmaelite declares for Hoke
Smith for Governor and says that the race Will
be between Hoke Smith and Clark Howell-that
James M. Smith only thinks he is in the race"
Albany Herald.
An insncere publisher like dishonest
tradesman must sooner or later suffer for the
violence done his reputation. In politics dishon-
esty is as reprehensb1e as in anything else, al
though there is a widespread false notion that
every thing is fair in war and politics, we
never did believe it. We don't want to believe it.
But two of our ablest edited exchanges have fall
len into that error, the Waycross Evening Her.
aid says:
lied by Laurens county citizens at Dublin on
Friday last.-Montgomery Monitor. It is said
that all the balance of the couuty--about l, 700
are for Estill and Clark Howell
Now, Editor Perham knows better than that.
lie knows that the Evening Herald hasn't
reader but that knows the organization OF
Smith club in Laurens county, or any
other county is the very strongest
indication that the county favors his
election. There were Parker clubs and
Hearst clubs formed in Georgia year ago, and
if Perham will search the records he will find
that as rule the counties in which Hearst
clubs were formed went for Hearst and that the
counties in which Parker clubs were formed
went for Parker.
But heSe is one from the Times Enterprise:
IA Mitchell county man tells lot of How
ell people signed that Hoke Smith petition up
there, to get Hoke in the race SO they could take
good hard fall out of him."
These young men, no doubt, printed the
truth-stated fact, but in doing so they encour-
aged the man they certainly knew to be insln-
cere They know, we know, aud every body
knows that "a lot of Howell people" have not
and will not sign Hoke Smith petition. Be
candid gentlemen and let's proceed decorously.
