Hon. A. O. Bacon reached thin city yesterday afternoon at 2:26 o’clock. He was met at the union depot by a delegation from the Bacon club and escorted to the Rankin house and aanigned to room number 4, where he wm engaged during the afternoon in receiving hi* friends and ad mirers. laiat night he addreaaed the people of this city and Muscogee county at the opera house on the issues involved in the present guberna torial campaign. On the stage with him were Hon. L. F. Garrard, J. M. McNeill, Esq., Captain Reese Crawford, L. C. Levy, Esq., Messrs. J. 8. Garrett. John H. Bass, George P. Swift, jr., W. Ai Swift. G. Y. Tigner, W. L. Tillman, J. J. Whittle, T. FI. Rergan, G. W. Dillingham, A. J. Riddle, J. T. Thweatt, Richard Needham, Richard Slade, I)r. C. K. Estes, Dr. Osborn and probably others. HON. L. P. GARRARD introduced Major Bacon to the large audience present as follows: I have been requested to introduce to you this evening the distinguished gentleman who is to address you. When I succeeded this gentleman I question of great importance to the state. Men who seek to make sudden fortunes by their wits and tricks already have their even upon thin valuable property. He was in fhvor of leasing the road to citizens of the state. He was opposed to allowing a repetition of the fraud committed in its former lease. The law provided t hat a majority of the shares should be owned in the state, but to-day the Louisville and Nashville, a foreign corporation, has bought | and owns a large majority of the shares. This corporation not only controls great interests in other states, but seeks to control the railroad in terests of the state. He was opposed to leasing the road to others than citizens of Georgia. He also said be was opposed to paying the lessees for betterments of the road, and he thought every candidate who offers for the high office of governor should state his position upon this question in no ambiguous language. It is the dutvof the lessees to turn this road over to the state in as good condition as they found it. As for himself, lie was opposed to paying any part of the demand for betterments. It may seem a very easy matter for the state of Georgia to say no, but when you consider the power that is behind it, it is no simple matter. That power is the Louisville and Nashville. Referring to the subject of THE CONVICT LHA.SK, be characterized it as one of the most important questions with which the people of Georgia have to deal, and it will continue to be as long as the present status of society exists. Before the war the question was not so important, as the state had only a handful of convicts, but now it hus an army of convicts. This question is closely re lated to the question of labor. When the present convict system was adopted the state was greatly puzzled to know what to do with this great army as speaker of the bouse of representatives I frit | of convicts. The state was little able to beu that however hard I might strive to do my duty I j the expense of caring for them. on that day, and they w will bring it with then: good>H|i?at. ** There will be a grit \Y have it if everybody an something id rally of grange at v» Kingsboroon the 27th of July.

A NEW SERIES. Of Mutual Loan IsMwIutlon Organized. The subscribers to aeries C., Columbus Mutual Loan Association, met last night in the German Club to organize their new series. Judge W. H. Braunou was called to the chair and James Will- cox requested to act as secretary. The books showed that about 1200 shares had been taken and the most of it was represented. A constitution and by-laws was adopted and the following gentlemen elected as directors: W. L. Clark, G. M. Williams, J. M. Fraser. James Smith, George J. Burrus, E. H. Jenkins, Thomas Gilbert. Mr. D. E. Williams was elected secretary and treasurer. riu- president will be elected at the first meet ing of the board. The first installment is now due and the inunev oe ^ld on next Tuesday night. could not hope to excel him, and now lam made to feel that whatever tribute 1 may pay him, l cannot hope to so picture him to you both us a patriot and a statesman, as lias been done on a former occasion Iw my friend and fellow-citizen, Gov. Janies M. Smith, when he so ably and elo quently presented him to the state convention of the democratic party in 1883 as its standard bearer for governor of the stale of Georgia; and as there has been no changes in the gentleman’s LualifW ations, he is the same to-day that he was tlicn. Therefore 1 have concluded to adopt the address of Gov. Smith as my own, and for fear that I may omit or misquote one single ex pression of my able and eloquent friend, T pray your indulgence while l read this portion of my speech. “In presenting the name of the gentleman whom I propo*( to place in nomination for gov ernor I shall not detain the convention by dwell ing on his merits. I shall not attempt to make any oratorical display, for this is a matter of busi ness, and business of the public. The gentleman whose name I present is perhaps as well known to the people of Georgia as any citizen within the limits of the stale. During the dark period which immediately succeeded tin* administration of Bullock, this- gentleman was a central figure. At that time it required nerve, and brain, and ability, and force of charaett r, for the purpose of reconstructing the public credit and building up the prosperity'of the stale. That man, J say, was a central figure. During most of tlu* time for the ten years succeeding he 'yielded the gavel, and in that gavel was em bodied the prosperity and interest of the state of Georgia. Therefore it would be superfluous for me to say anything by way of commanding him. Hi- ih known of you. As he lias conn* in and as be has gone out you'observe him. You km.av him; therefore I repeat it would be out of place for me to stand here and by won I commend him. In com mending him 1 disparage nobody else. There will be other names of gentlemen, many of whom, perhaps, or any of whom, will make a most acceptable chief magistrate for Georgia, j But this man’s conduct in high and re sponsible positions in the state of Georgia has commended him to her citizens as being • worthy of appreciation and of the highest homo ! his people can oiler. We know that in his hands we shall have an honest administration. We know that in his hands, while he wields the office of governor, he cannot be purchased. We can confide in his honesty. 1 do not say but that we could confide in the honesty of any other gentle man. hut we know him he has been tried--he has been tried as by fire, and has come out un- scorch ed. I place in nomination for the office of governor the uame of Hon. A. O. Bacon, of the county of Bibb.” MAJOR BACON’S SPEECH. Major Bacon then arose amidst enthusiastic applause, and said he was grateful for the kind reception that had been accorded him, and the complimentary manner in which he had been introduced, even though the language used ivas that of another distinguished citizen who, at the time at least, thought him worthy of the senti ment* uttered He said he was here for the purpose of talking in a plain business manner about the business of the state, and about serious matters of a sorioua character. He did not desire to make any ora torical display. He was glad that in looking in the faces of the audience before him that he believed they agreed with him that the matters to be discussed to be of a most serious business character and not to be looked o\er trivially. The office of governor was not an office to be awarded simply as a reward. The office of governor of Georgia is one of high honor, hut it is also one of grave duties. It is an office in which there are heavy business responsibili ties affecting the material interests of the people. There are a great many important features in the business of the state, and he proposed to dis cuss a few of them. Due of the most important question is mi-: disposition ok the state road, which exceeds in value ail other property of the state. It is now under a lease, which, while it does not expire during the next gubernatorial term, it is highly probable that the state will con sider what disposition shall be made of it. He said there were three propositions: First, to it, second, to lease it, third, for the state to it. He said he was opposed to the sale ot the road, because there is no necessity for it. If the the sale were made, and it was found to have made a mistake, it would be a most serious mis take which could * not be remedied. The state debt is small and easily bandied, and the bonds which become due an* easily replaced by other smaller interest bearing bonds. Again, the income from the lease The law was hurriedly passed as the best means that could be devised, but lie did not believe there was a dozen members of the legislature who were satisfied with it. Since then he has care fully considered and watched the operation of the law, and he was convinced that it was a great fundamental political error. Fie did not believe the state should ever delegate to an individual t he responsible duty of punishing its convicts. It was not right that lessees should have the power to punish the state’s criminals. Another reason, which he considered the most important of all reasons why „ the convicts should not be leased, was that convict labor was put into conflict with free labor. You cannot lease convicts to a man and say he shall not em ploy them in certain work. It matters not what work convicts are employed in they must neces sarily come in conflict with free labor. Every daj’’s work done by a convict is a day’s work taken from a freeman. The seriousness of tins competition cannot be realized here as it is in north Georgia. Some classes of employment in that section of the state have been monopolized by convict labor. He was in favor of making im possible this ruinous competition of convict labor with free labor. He asked what could be done with the convicts. He said he was a law-abiding citizen, but he thought if there was any legitimate way of wip ing out this lease of the convicts before the term expires, he did not think another sun should be allowed to set before it was done. He advocated tlu* use of convicts on the public roads of tin. state. In this work they would never come in competition with free labor, and at the same time this ruinous competition would be avoided. Referring to the CONTEST BETWEEN HIMSELF AND GEN. GORDON he said there were differences which he proposed to discuss in a respectful manner. As to himself he desired to state emphatically that he has never had in any manner whatever connection with tin* convict lease. He did not think his distinguished competitor had dealt with the people with can dor on this subject. He did not charge that it was not legitimate to engage in the business, hut it is a mere matter of taste. He then gave dates upon which he asserted Gordon had made certain convict transactions. He said lie had a letter from Ex-Congressman Price which stated that Gordon, while interested in a convict lease he had gone to Dahlonega and attempted to hire his convicts to a Mr. Hahn. Gen. Gordon has not answered these charges with sufficient candor. He believed that it was proper that the .views and merits of candidates should be discussed. In discussing matters in reference to his competitor lie was careful to say nothing disrespectful of him. Gor don is fond of calling upon the people to put down this campaign of slander. He , Bacon) did not engage in slander, and in discussing a certain matter connected with General Gordon he would make no statements except which lie gets from General Gordon himself. That matter was the question of GORDON’S RESIGNATION. The facts which he would state were obtained from a speech made by General Gordon at Atlanta and interviews had with him immediately after his resignation. He did not dispute the right of a man to resign an office, but he did hold that he should not resign an office unless he could restore it to the people from whom he received it. Now, lit asked, what are the facts ocmiiected with t he i resignation as gathered from his own statements? j He did not propose to discuss any question of corruption or moral turpitude, but he did propose to discuss i he question of official duty, for when General Goto.ui ^came before ! to a.-.k to be invested I high office the people had I know his ideas of political duty. fact that (Jordon resigned three \v< j meeting of the legislature, and charged that the undisputed evidence showed that he had done it for pecuniary gain. IU* said it was a fundamental political principle that whenever n mail accepteu a public office lie should make his personal inter est* subservient to his official duty. No man should accept an office unless he can return it to the people from whom he received it. Whenever official duty is disregarded for persona! interests, then the fundamental principle of the govern ment is overthrown and officeholding becomes a 11 ) matter of bargain and sale, which he expected to n : prove v\ a* tlu* FACT IN THIS CASK. Major Jiueon then recited the circumstances connected with General Gordon’s resignation, and read a letter from Colonel Hogg to General Gordon, pressing him to resign his seat in the senate to accept a business oiler from Oregon. He argued that the main object of the letter was to hurry up Gordon’s resignation, and not simply his services. Hogg knew that if h e people with a right U j cited the | before the I ate road is the principal fund upon | merely wanted the services of Gordon he could of the which we rely for the maintenance of L)ge public schools. If the road is sold it will necessitate an increase of the direct taxation to sustain the schools, and he was opposed to such a course. He was equally opposed, if not more so, to the state running the road. He said that experience is the best teacher, and rtie experience of the state in running the Western and Atlantic railroad showed that it was not a wise plan. That road had been run at a loss to the state. Another rea son is that the road might be run as a political machine which would result in the corruption of the public service which would be a great calam- nity. As for himself, he FAVORED LEASING THE ROAD, and he believed a majority of the people are in favor of it. In leasing the road the interest of the state must be closely guarded. An act must he passed with certain restrictions providing for the lease of the road, and necessarily a large dis cretion will rest in the governor. He referred to the former lease of the road and said that it had been leased to the parties making the smallest bid. He did not mention this to cast any reflec tion upori the action of the governor, but. to show "'hat discretion he could exercise in the matter. He declared that the disposition of the road is a obtain them without compelling his resignation within so short a time as three weeks, lie knew that Gordon might get a leave of absence, or that he might pair, but the ilia in object seemed to be to bring about a speedy resignation. What ought General Gordon to have thought when Hogg (same to him, knowing that lie was not a railroad man, and made him sqgh an offer? Ought he not to have had sagacity enough to know that Hogg had a sinister motive in urging his resignation? Gordon had nevei been a railroad man, or had any railroad experience; then why should Col. Hogg, knowing this, be so eager to secure his services? Suppose a man should go to your clerk of council, presuming that lie is not a lawyer, and offer him $500() to resign at once and accept the attorneyship for the Columbus and Rome railroad, wliat would he think? Would he not have the sagacity to know that the main object was to bring about ail immediate vacancy in the office? Before,how ever, General Gordon had time to accept the of fer of C’-ol. Hogg, Victor Newcorabe, of the Lou isville and Nashville, appeared oii the scene with another tempting „ offer, the ' main condition of which also was that he should immediately resign nisseat in 1 the senate. This offer lie accepted and no doubt broke the heart of Col. Hogg, and which proba bly accounts for the fluff that the Oregon railroad has never been built. Major Bacon ridiculed the idea of General Gor don being employed as counsel for a great rail- | road corporation, as he did not at that time i claim to be a lawyer. , Tbt* speaker also read extracts from the Con stitution. which he ironically characterized as a neutral paper, giving General Gordon’s reasons for resigning his seat, and also parts of inter- I views in the same paper between General Gor- j don and “C. H. W." and “H. W, G,’’ on the same subject. In speaking of “H. W. G." Major I Bacon said that it had been said that he was ! oonflised by facts, but he did not think such was I the case, as he never allowed himself to be trou bled by facts. He spoke ut great length on the subject of Gor don’s resignation. He said that while Gordon claimed that the business for which he resigned demanded his immediate attention, HE NUVBR WENT TO LOUISVILLE, but came to this state and engaged for severalf months in a heated political campaign. He did not charge that General Gordon had resigned rom corrupt motives, but it looked very much to him like a bargain and sale. A WARNING. He warned the people against electing a man for governor who has always been closely allied with the parties who desire to get possession of the state roud. COULDN’T RETURN THE COMPLIMENT. He said that in his speeches Gen. Gordon al ways told the people why he iBacon) was unlit to he governor, hut would close by telling them that he was a very capable and honorable man. He (Bacon) was glad to accord to Gen. Gordon all the honor and glory that liis distinguished services in the army entitled him to, but he was sorry that he could not return the compliment, that he was capable to fill the office of governor. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION- Iii referring to the question of the railroad com mission he said he believed he had the right to be judged by his own words and actions, and not by the statements of others whose interest it was to misrepresent him. He stated emphatically that any statement that he was unfavorable to the railroad commission is false. He lias not and never has had any stock in any railroad. He is counsel for one road, but he has more cases against other roads than lie has for that one. His connection is only professional, and he took occasion to assert that he does his own thinking and never allows himself to be used as putty in the hands of others. Fie believed the commis sion to be necessary to protect the people again.st the aggressions of aggregated capital. He did not, however, indulge in any cant about corpora tions. He believed corporations had rights which should be protected, but lie believed the law should protect the weaker from the stronger, and in this instance he believed the people to be the weaker. He desired to 'assert most emphati cally that he is in favor of tlie commission. OTHER QUESTIONS OF INTEREST. Major Bacon said there were other questions which he would mention briefly. The question of the fitness of a man for office was a legitimate one for discussion. He.said that General Gordon had been distinguished for a series of business failures, in some of which he had not only lost money himself, but caused his friends to lose money. The speaker enumerated several enter prises in which General Gordon had engaged and failed. It was all right for a man to lost.* his own money, but he had no right to lose money for his friends who had entrusted it to him. He said General Gordon was ti man of speculative turn of mind, and often thought he saw great fort tires in great enter prises which panned out nothing. He had told General Gordon that in this par ticular he reminded him of Mulberry Sellerk, HOW HE WILL ANSWER. Major Bacon said that General Gordon will be here next Friday, and when asked why he resigned his scut in the senate, he will reply that he was a lieutenant-general, and that *‘I am General John B. Gordon.’’ He would not detract, if lie could, anything from the glory of General Gordon’s war record, but there were other generals in the war besides Gordon, and there were privates there who fought as courageously and gallantly for their country. WHY HR RESIGNED. Major Bacon said that he did not like to talk about himself, blit the attacks made upon him had made it necessary. It had been charged that he resigned in 1861. This was no new thing. He had lived for twenty-one years in the city of Ma con, and his neighbors had honored him. Would they have done so if they thought his resignation was dishonorable? For many years after the war he was the intimate personal friend of Gener 1 Gordon. If Gordon believed that lie had acted dishonorably, how could he have received him into his friendship? Ganeral Gordon knew the circumstances under which he resigned, and knew that Jie bad not acted dishonorably. He had been advised to resign by the board of surgical examiners and held their cer tificate that he was physically unable to do field duty. Was it honorable in'General Gordon, knowing this to be the truth, to go about over the state trying to defame the character of a man who occupied the humblest position in the confederate service? What lie stated about his t Bacon’s 1 resignation was true and no man dared to stand up and deny it. He could face any man or woman and say that he had never been false to his country in time of need. A RECAPITULATION. Major Bacon then briefly reviewed the impor tant issues of the campaign and restated his posi tion upon them all. He said that the people had a right to know where the candidates stand, and they should be told in no doubtful language. As for his own fitness for the office oi governor, he was willing to leave it to the people to decide. His record in the past was before them, and he was willing to stand or fall upon that. If elected he promised to guard jealously the interests of the people, and to prove faithful to every trust. HOW IT WAS RECEIVED. We have only attempted to give a full and fair synopsis of Major Bacon’s sqeech. It made a splendid impression on his friends and admirers, and all conceded that it was delivered in a frank apd candid manner. At times he spoke with great force and energy, and was frequently ap plauded. The Union Brass Band furnished music at the Rankin House and the opera house before the beginning of the speech.
