Gordon addressed the citizens of Muscogee county last night on the issues, n- volved in the present gubernatorial campaign. He reached the city from Cusseta, where he spoke at 10 o’clock in the morning, about 5:80 yesterday afternoon. A large delegation of his supporters and admirers went out about three miles to meet him and escort him into the city. The arrival of the procession upon the eastern limits ofthe c.ty was announce 1 by the .' ring of twenty-ono guns with the historic Red Jacket. The procession was headed by the Girard brass band. The first carriage which followed was drawn by four horses, and contained General John B. Gordon, ex-Govemor Smith, Colonel W. S. Shepherd and Ctfptain C. A. Redd. Numerous other carriages followed, containing prominent citizens. The procession was greeted on the commons by a large crowd that applauded enthusiastically. It entered the city on Eighth street and moved up Fourth avenue to Thirteenth street, thence to Broad and to the Rankin house. At the Rankin a large crowd had gathered and lustily cheered General Gordon as he alighted from the car riage. He proceeded to the hotel office, where he was kept busy for several minutes re ceiving those who were anxious to shake him by the hand. Among them were many old soldiers, r and he readily recognized and called by name some whom he had not seen for years. After shaking hands for awhile he repaired to his room to rest for a short time before addressing the people. List night, long before the appointed time, the people began to flock to the opera house, and when the hour for speaking arrived the opera house was crowded. In the audience were many ladies. At 8:30 o’clock General Gordon, accom panied by a number of friends, entered the opera house and was loudly cheered. His appearance on the stage, leaning upon the arm of Col. W. S. Shepherd, was the signal for renewed cheering. Accompanying him on the stage were a large number of gentlemen,among whom were Col. W. S. hnepnerd, ex-Governor Smith, Judge J. F. Bou, Hon. J. M. Russell, Hon. John Peabody, I Col. B. A. Thornton, Capt. G. E. Thomas, J Major J. A. Shingleur, jRollin JeflTerson, Fred Weisiger, R. H. Estes, W. J. Watt, J. E. played Deaton, C. J.

The j fact of that preference, however, is kept within j proper limits by another consideration, which is i that the intelligence, the liberality, the pro- ; rbially chivalii. it hi. haracterof C< to every candidate win use a patient, attentive ambus peopl comes to pre ml respe ful Passion and excitement are often just as hon- st as they are sometimes misguided; and the ulgments rendered in the heated hour are not li frequently reversed when the cooling time .* nr •d. In the light ofthe past six years, the time for should he Fully uj ens ents of i and ealm- ballot box. He related the circumstances con nected with his obtaining from Hayes, Wade Hampton’s commisssion as governor of South Carolina, and the people appreciated that act so highly that a baby born unto him that very day was christened by them Carolina Gordon. He declared, with his RIGHT ARM POINTING TO HEAVEN, that he left the senate without a stain upon his record or a blot upon his commission. He thought the time had come when he should give some thought to his wife and children, and he did it. | He resigned his seat when there was no more for j him to do, and he would do it over a thousand . times again. He said that a seat in the United j States senate was worth a great deal to a man ! who wanted to be dishonest. He could make a I great deal more by retaining it i than by resigning. He said mark ! the men who thought everybody was dishonest. I He is like the drunken man who thinks every ! other man and all the lamp-posts are drunk. It - would have been presumption on his part to have I said to Governor Colquitt that he should appoint | Joe Brown as his successor. Colquitt did it - solely upon his own responsibility and the peo ple had appioved it. What Joe Brown and Col quitt had done was none of his fight; they are i able to take care of themselves. Nearly every man who had engaged in the indignation meet ing against him are now for him. There are ex- Governor Smith, the gallant old soldier Mark Blanford and many others whom he could mention for him. Why this change if it were not that they were convinced that his resig nation was honorable? ONEOK THE CHARGES. General Gordon said one of the charges were that he and Colquitt had robbed the state of $500,- 000, inasmuch as it was asserted that Colquitt had sold him the right-of-way over ten miles of the State road for $1000 when it was worth the first named amount. The truth was, the law gave him the right-of-way, and Colquitt, in his zeal for the interest of the state, had made him pay With this i.refoce, fellow-citizens I have the I ?100 ° t0 P rovlde for the expensesof a survey, etc. Oi.or to present will not say introduce, for his “ ^ a foot, he asserted, that lie had never got a ante and fame are household words-a man who 1 faot ofthc “Sl't-of-way and the state had gat his public -the ladies esp- tend.

The charge was made by Bacon’s mouthpiece. careflil who they elect governor. IE RAILROAD COMMISSION He referred briefly to the railroad commission, and said his position on that question was al ready well known. He declared himself in favor i of the commission law as it now stands. 1 General Gordon concluded his speech by ap pealing to the people to turn out and put their : stamp of disapproval on the man who is responsi- 1 ble for this campaign of personalism and abuse. In the above we have only given an imperfect synopsis of General Gordon’s speech. In its de* livery he was frequently eloquent and was , equally as frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. At the conclusion ofthe speech a large number of people came upon the stage and shook General Gordon by the hand. Many ladies sought and received an introduction to General Gordon, j Bouquets of flowers were also sent upon the stage j to him. General Gordon left on a special train last night for LaGrange, where he speaks to-day. J LOCAL LACONICS.

IVlio Attended tin* Picnic.

He said he came not to appeal to passion but to reason. He deprecated the introduction into modern politics of personal abuse. He cited now that George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Wm. 11. Crawford, Alexander H. Stephens, Benjamin Hill and other statesmen had been slandered and abused, but he said their names would live in brightness through all com ing ages of civilization. Personalities, he said, had crept into this campaign, but not by his bid ding. For five long years he lias quietly sub mitted to misrepresentations and abuse. Some ofthe papers which support his distinguished opponent had said that if Gordon came into this campaign they would make it HOT FOR HIM. Gordon came into the campaign and was not hot yet. but somebody else was hot, and it was the other fellow. He said that his opponent got hot at Eatonton when he asked him if he did or did not resign from the adjinfancy of the 9th 1 ieorgiu regiment. This, though a civil question, made Bacon very hot and vehement. [Here he related the circumstances of the joint debate at Eatonton. > WHY HE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM. Continuing, General Gordon said that it had been said that he ought not to say anything about Bacon’s resignation, as be had signed his discharge. This was not true, but it made no ditFerencewitbJ.be papers that support his oppo nent. Bacon claimed that he (Gordon* aad been his personal friend, and lie wanted to know why h>* should have associated with him if he though his resignation was dislumo ible. Heas;e:te that he knew nothing of Bac in’s resignation un lil he entered this campaign. He had always supposed that Bacon was at the front fighting with the other brave men of the gallant ninth. He iGordonlluid resigned, yet so man charges had been brought against him that he HARDLY RECOGNIZED HIMSELF. He had begun to think that it was not him who was at Appomattox, but the other fellow. He would be glad if he could have prevented this campaign becoming one of personalties when there are so many important issues that should be discussed. He then referred to the fact that the agricultural interest of the country is lan guishing, and whenever such is the case some thing is fundamentally wrong. The rich are grow ing richer and the poor poorer. The railroad ques tion and the education of our children, and many OTHER IMPORTANT QUESTIONS were subjects that should be discussed. Not withstanding this, he was compelled to go about answering charges made against him. He had once said that he would rather die than go about explaining to the people of Georgia the personal charges brought against his character. He had thought that his past life should answer for itself. He declared that his whole life had been devoted to love of his country. He had told his beloved wife that he would rather die than to MAKE APOLOGIES TO GEORGIANS for the charges and-, abuse heaped upon him, but- he com taut ly found himself doing it. Why was this made necessary? He Reaffirmed that it whs 1101 by his choice. He had been in a good humor throughout the campaign, and expected to keep m a good lnunuv. Since he had been in this citv him. Wm. tt. Felton is the great disorganize!* of Georgia. Whenever Felton becomes the leader of the democratic party of Georgia, call back the carpet-baggers and scallawags and let the true and tried democrats be relegated to the rear. The truth was that Huntingdon had introduced a bill that simply proposed to give the right, while Scott introduced a bill that proposed to give the right of way and the endorsement of $50,000,000 of unsecured bonds. Felton had supported the Scott bill, and Gordon came against if and smashed it, as he would always do a bill that contained such an outrageous proposition. This had incurred the wrath of Wm. H. Felton, and now he is going about over the state trying to blacken the name of an honest man. HE SENT FOR JOE. He said that he had been charged with every- j J thing else, but nobody had ever charged him ' | with sending for Joe Brown. There was some- | ! body who did send for Joe, and he lived in Ma- J con, and his initials are A. O. Bacon. There was 1 said to be an Atlanta ring. There were two rings which surrounded Atlanta at one time—Slier- j man’s army and Joe Johnston’s army. Bacon 1 didn’t want to get into either of these rings. It j seemed, however, that he did want to get into j the ring of which it was said Joe Brown is the head. Bacon sent for Joe, and with Ins arms around him had begged Joe to help him beat McDaniel, and promised that he would do so no j more. Now Bacon is crying out against the At- ! lanta ring. He is the last man who ought to say ! anything on that subject. GORDON AS A FINANCIAL FAILURE. He said it had been charged that Gordon was a | failure as a financier. He said he had failed in the saw mill business. He had tried to run five | of them at one time and one of them was enough j to run any man crazy. They said he was a fail- I lire in all business enterprise he had under- j taken. He referred with pride to the building of j the Georgia Pacific. II brought five million dol- j lars into Georgia. Yet, some said this was a small ' matter. If Bacon will build five miles of railroad in Georgia he will come down and vote for him. 1 They say fhe bock concern was a failure. He said that monuments ought to be built to the pro- j motors of that enterprise.
