W. L. PEEK of the county of Rockdale. To those who do not, we desire to say, that he is a very social and clever man. He has represented his county in the legislature and once served this district in the state senate. Of course, he had never been accused of possessing an overabundance of wisdom, and ought not to be blamed for being a little weak, at times, in the upper-story, for this is a misfortune rather than a fault, and should be pardoned rather than condemned. At present he is proudly posing as one of the self-constituted leaders of a peculiar organization known as the Peoples Party, and the frisky way in which he prances around, reminds his former Democratic brethren of a very small boy riding a stick horse, three weeks after the circus has pulled up stakes and departed. The Colonel has ever been our friend and we cannot find bile enough on our liver, or gall sufficient in our heart, to abuse and vilify him because he chances to get turned upside down and is being bewitched away from the cherished traditions and time honored principles of the dear old Democratic party which has always and at all times been the advocate and champion of right and justice between man and man, whose watchword and battle cry for almost a century has been, “Equal rights to all, and special privileges to none.” Col. PEEK very erroneously imagines that he is a forcible speaker, a great and important personage, charity demands that he be permitted to labor a little while longer under this fascinating hallucination, for it makes him feel good, does no one any harm, and deceives nobody.
