Having resigned from seventy corporations, Senator Depew must be awful lonesome when the directors meet and make a noise like declaring a dividend.—Schaghticoke (N. Y.) Sun.
Here is what we found in Sunday’s Constitution about the Governor’s race.
One article about Hoke Smith and Tom Watson brands them as assassins of Democracy. In another place is the following complimentary clipping about Estill: “The weekly papers are giving Colonel John H. Estill the squarest kind of a deal. The Savannahian is the man to watch and his following seems to be growing rapidly in all quarters of the state.”
And on the same page is another clipping from the Tifton Gazette, in which Estill, Judge Russell and Mr. Howell are spoken of as men of the most sterling integrity, distinguished ability and unflinching honor, and either of them would do Georgia credit in the gubernatorial chair.
Is it a wonder that the common people believe that Clark Howell, Estill and Judge Russell are in a combination to beat Hoke Smith?—Lawrenceville (Ga.) Gwinnett Journal.
The old adage “competition is the life of trade” has been transformed to “combination is the life of trade” to suit the condition of the times.—Oakland (Md.) Journal.
“Wall Street Is Playing with Fire” is the startling head line in a local paper. There is no need for alarm, though. Wall Street has plenty of water to put out any fire.—Almond (N. Y.) Gleaner.
