Not until the state campaign OF
1874 got into action did the genuine
elephant OF the republican party
blossom into existence That was II
memorable battle of ballots. As the
campaign progressed and the day OF
the campaign drew near 1t became
more than apparent that there had
been turning of the political tide,
and that democracy was likely TO
come off victor in New York. The
democratic leaders made no end OF
use Of the Grant third term bugaboo
and harpcd on a multitude OF other
evils which were charged up to the
account of their opponents in power.
with all this campaign thunder they
actually did come or triumphant.
Samuel j 1ildon was elected COVER

planted William f. Havcmeyer as
mayor of New York.
As the struggled progressed Mast
used all the yirility Of his pen 10
stem the tide Of democracy. He pil.
loricd its leaders and in the zeal OF
the task he had set for himself he
had brought forth the real republican
elephant The symbolic pachydcrm
made his first appearance in an issue
of lIarpcl's Weekly, by which he was
employed for many years while this
campaign was AT it's height.
The elephant was pictured as stand

constitution of 1877, representation of
counties in State Conventions has been
based upon it.
For thirty years, six counties have each
had three times as many votes as each &
the small ones and the twenty-six next
largest counties given twice as many
votes as the other small counties
Now, who was it that was dissatisfied
with this system? 1t was founded on
law, and was our settled practice. Who
wanted it changed?
Were the delegates to the Macon Con-
vention instructed to make a new rule?
If So where and when?
The delegates to the Macon Conve11-
ton had no instructions from the people
% deprive the country counties of their
Constitutional rights-wEy, then, did
they do so?
That they did SO is now apparent to
everybody. We frankly admit that we
had never heard Of any contemplated
change, and dil not know until the Dem
ccratic Executive Committee published
the new rule that it was embraced in the
Macon platform. Not suspecting Hoke
Smith of revolutionary intentions, we had
never closely read his Macon platform at
all We had supposed that it was simply
reproduction of his campaign principles.
But now, when it is known that this
new feature is in the Macon Platform
which was prepared by Hoke Smith, we
are keenly interested in the study of
Hoke's motive.
What was he up to, when he slipped
this plank into the platform, without ever
having opened his mouth about it in
public?
He did not put the new plank in by
accident, did he? He must have had
motive. What was it?
We think Hoke's musings were to this
effect, after his tremendous victory in
October, 1906:
"The Populists are now back in the
Democratic Party. Thew have taken GU,
advice and are seeking their reforms in
side the party. They had enough votes
to elect Hines governor in I8o4-and we
had to doctor the returns, here in Atlanta
At least half of the white voters of Geor~
gia believe in Popu1ist principles-and in
Watson. These Pops live principally in
the country counties With Watson and
his Populists inside the Democratic party,
the country people will rule the state,
as the Tillmanites do in South Carolina
How am | to avoid this terrible calam-
i+xr
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-05-28

w e must overthrow Our constitutional
system, change the practice of thirty
years, and give to the big cities the tull
advantage Of their numerical superiority.
in this way the twenty-six next largest
counties will lose heavily, and all of the
small counties will be dwarfed into politi
cal insignifcance
Thus Watson and his friend swill be
in my power and if ever he runs for the
y. ). Senatorship--which am crazy to
have, myself-we can overwhelm him.
We think that is the sum and sub
stance of the musings of Hoke, and that's
why the new rule was slipped into the
Macon Platform.
Mr. Watson did not want office, but
Hoke could never be made to believe it.
Nor did Watson want to play political
boss anywhere; but Hoke couldn't be-
lleve that, either.
Jealous of his ally, even in the hour of
his great triumph, when that ally was
asking for no share of the spoil, and was
praising Hoke in The Teffersonian, it
would seem that Hoke deliberately
planned to violate well-settled precedent
and to outrage the spirit of the Constitu-
ton, if not its letter, by making a new
rule which would forever rob the old
Pops of their constitutional rights!
What will be the natural consequences
of the new rule?
1t must be applied to congressional dis
t11cts, OF course, for we can not suppose
that the Democrats will have one rule
tor the state campaign and a different
rule tor the congressional campaigns.
How will the new rule work in the Au-
gusta district, for instance?
That city will always name the Con-
gresham. The ten country counties, in
hot race, can not give one of the can
dldates a majority which can not be over
come in Augusta
We've seen that tried.
Even when the struggle was apparent
ly fair fight, we saw Bill Fleming beat
Tom HardWick more than 1900 votes
because of Fleming's strength in Au-
gusta.
That being the case when the contest
is fair, what will happen when such
man as Boykin Wright is managing the
election? Why, he will do as Bovkin
Wright did in the Black-Watson cam
paigns. The polls will stay open until
the country counties will have been heard
from, and then the ballot-boxes will be

GUBERVATOR11Z CAMPAIGN NOTES

49, ~ 49, A@ & VI ~ II 49,
A subscriber writes asking why Dr.
Broughton did not preach on Come We
out from among them," when Hoke was
a participant in the profits of the Pied
mont bar. This inquisitive subscriber
thinks that the Doctor ought to have
asked Hol<e to come out from among the
bar-rooms, instead of letting him wait
until the Prohibitionists in the Legislature
voted the bar-rooms out from among
Hoke.
This question being somewhat per-
sonal, we pass it up to Hoke and to DR..
Broughton.
Judge Hines alludes feelingly to those
who insulted us Pops in the years gone
by-making the argument that no old
Pop can vote for Brown.
All, Judge, did any mortal man ever
denounce us more venomously than Hoke
Smith did Was not his utmost influence
brought to bear to have the Democratic
Executive Committee d1sfranchise the
white Populists? Did you not know that
1oke Smith was back of that Tom Fielder
crowd, which, in 1892, hoWled Mr.. Wat
son down, in the State house in Atlanta?
Was not the demonstration against your
friend SO violent that Gordon of police
men were necessary TO protect his life?
Did you not know that Hoke Smith
was active in the preparations Of those in
sulting demonstrations which were to be
made against Gen. James B. Weaver, our
candidate for President-preparatio of
such character that the Populist meet
ing had to be called off for fear of riot
and bloodshed?
Yes, Judge, we knew of all this, and
more, when we finally decided to support
Hoke Smith for Governor, the first time.
We wanted that Disfranchisement law
which will iberate the Whites from the
fear of Negro Domination and give OPP
portunity for political independence in
the South. Consequently, while we did
not choose Hoke Smith original1y-and
would never have done so-we stood
Loyalty by our friend Hardwick, and
fought it out
Populists who could overlook the way
Hoke Smith had treated us, need not gag
at anybody on that score.
AS we'll might man say, in his selec-
ton of table diet, that he preferred the
old hen to any of her frying-size chickens.
You, Judge, can do as you like, but as
for us, we've had as much of the old hen
as we can stomach. If any of the Pops
would rather go for the fryingsize chick
