nominee.
Tlte Meeting Next Tuesday.
On Tuesday next the Democracy of
Dougherty comity arc to meet to
gether for Hie purpose of selecting
delegates to the Congressional Con
vention, and for placing the party of
the county in regular working condi
tion.
At this meeting we desire to see
every true Democrat in the county,
that a free expression of sentiment
may be heard, and the will of the peo
ple known. The select ton of delegates
to the Convention is a matter of very
great importance, and you should see
to it that you getsensible, honest, true
and tried material to cast your votes
in the selection of a standard liearer.
Give to no man this trust whose joints
may weaken at the approach of the
opposition, but men who will stand
firm to yon to the very last extremi
ty. The success of the Democratic
party in the Second Congressional
District depends upon the patriotism,
the wisdom and good judgement of
that body which is to meet at Camil
la. Personal favoritism, petty prej
udices and thimble rigging politicians
must not lie allowed to control the
action of that Convention. The peo
ple must stir thcmselrcs and demand
a fair, just and equitable deal.
People of Dougherty, stand to your
colors. Come out every man of you.
Express your choice, and ask your
representatives to support that choice,
bnt swear by Heaven that if you lose
the primary Held, you’ll win the
greater battle which is to follow in
November.
Don't imagine that you have an
easy time. There's lightning ahead
The enemy ronrhes by the wayside
to spring upon yon when you least
expect. Radicalism is not nslcc|
The Political Outlook in the
Second.
Advices received troni ditferent
parts of the district give ns full
siirancc that at least two-thirds of the
people favor the renoniiiiation of
Hon. Wm. E. Smith. He has many
more friends in the eastern counties
thau ever, while a message from Clay
and another from Quitman, the west
cro border counties, tell us that the
"people are for Smith." The friend
of Col. B. B. Bower place him square
ly before the party as an aspirant for
the honor. Decatur county will nut
likely honor her citizen on the til-si
ballot, with an eye on Smith as next
choice. Turner, of Brooks, will g
into the Convention with |>erlia|
eight votes bn lirst liallot. His friend
are for Smith next to Turner; and
thus it is: Captain Smith is second
choice in every instance where lie
not first. He is with the people, otto
of the people, and the people will
honor him. They know that his sc
vices deserve recognition at' their
hands. Ours are not an ungrateful
people; therefore we cannot but feci
that Wm. E. Smith will again be made
our standard-bearer.
Politienl Ambition.
‘crimps there never was a time in
the history of this country that as
piring politicians serf so hold In
their greed for olHce as now. Their
name Is legiou; and here In Georgia
they arc thick ami fast, front Nicka-
jack to Tybcc Right, and from the Sa
vannah to the Chattahoochee. Every
'ongressional district has its hordes
of them, seeking to serve the people
In the councils of the Nation, and us
ing every blatant exertion to win
themselves into servitude. The moun
tains. hills nnd vales of the grand old
State are re-echoing the eloquent
strains of the over-faithful candidate,
and the general text is, “You did and
you didn't.” A nice state of alfalrs is
this for a people who have just betn
redeemed from the clutches of Radi
calism.
All kinds of political maneuvering,
personal abuse, prejudices and petty
squabbles arc brought to bear. For
instance, mark the following reason
some aspirant in the Fourth gives that
Hon. II. i{. Harris should not be re
turned. He sars:
Charleston, S. C., lias 60,000 inhabi
tants. and yet ihe.Tourual, a moriiin;
paper of that city, has been compel!-
cd to die for the want of patronage.
That old established paper, tlte JVcirs
and Courier, stands the storm hand
souiel v. New Orleans and Colurnbns.
are now the only cities in the South
that support more than one respecta
ble morning paper.
Marcellus E. Thornton, of Atlanta,
says he is an independent candidate
for Congress. That boy is just jok
ing. You see Marcellus lias the en
tire confidence of the Democratic par
ty in the Fifth, andhisaiinounceiueiil
is a mere pull of jx.liii.-ril strings t<
iii-nre the success of the nominee.—
Mark what we say; he will not l»
elected to Congress on the Indepen
dent ticket. We venture that much ot
s prophecy.
We ask the question of the Album
press, does Capt. Smith deny liarinj.
made any promises himself, or know
ing that ids friend, promised In
would not again lie put In-fore the
Convention? And we request a can
slid answer.—tfu it mu U Free /Ve«.
We are authorized to say |iosiliveh
that Capt. Smith authorized no man
or set of men to make any “bargain, 1
for the honor conferred upon him l.j
theThomasrille Convention. It seem-
strange to ns that the opposition “or
gans do not name the man who want
ed to trade. Who was be? Captain
Smith is loo honorable a gentleman
to have thus attempted to secure the
endorsement of a Democratic Con
vent ion.
“Because in July, 1864, at Griffin,
Ga.. when it was rc|iortcd the Yan
kees were inarching towards Griffin
ami were at Bear Creek lie tore ofl"
his'slripes and insignia of ra.ik ami
said to his men : ‘Don't any of you
call me Colonel any more.’ '
Confederate soldiers, can you stand
that ? Think of (Jordon or Lee doing
this? What would have been done
with him in the nrtnv?”
Now the truth of the mntter is that
Col. Harris tore off his stripes and
said to his soldiers: “Don't any of
ou call me Colonel any more, for I
iranl to naffer icith you a* a private.^
We have no interest whatever
in the Fourth District campaign.—
Four of the aspirants there arc able,
eloquent and true men, nnd cither of
them would reflect credit upon the
State: but we do protest against
Georgians allowing such statements
as the above to forestall their action
in Conventions. They arc but the
miitterings of nten thirsty for political
distinction mid political pap. and
should weigh only as such.

from our government, and want those
who took sueli active part in the

Hon. James I.. Seward.
A rc|iort having been circulated in
this and oilier counties, that this dis
tinguished Georgian, had announced
bis opposition to the selection of
Dougherty county man by the Camil
la Convention, and his intention in
snehan eventto become an Indepeud
ent candidate for Congress this Fall
we are authorized to say that sue
rumors and statements are absolutely
false. That Col. Seward “deprecate:
the existence or exhibition of any
such unworthy prejudice toward the
aspirations of the citizens of Dough
erty county f and that he will “j
far as his influence extends to diss
countenance such sentiments when
ever they mar lie found to exist.'
That “his personal regard for Capt
Smith is nnbroken," and that “he lui
full confidence in his official iutegrit
and faithfulness.’’
So, the ill-advised use of this civ
liero’s name, lias brought from him
a withering and dignified rebuke of
those malcontents who are trying
to defeat Capt. Smith through tin:
thin veil of charging Dougherty
county- with excessive ambition, and
thereby endeavoring to create an tin
worthy jirejudice against her citizen
let those Democrats who desire to
reward official fidelity—those who
admire broad, liberal and statesman
like views, remember Col. Seward
rebuke, and keep in mind, too, that lie
lias served his jieople well anil faith
fully, and is able to do so again.—
Dougherty county has no prejmlii
against tlie citizens of her sister conn
tics, and would rally in solid phalanx
to the support of such a lAiightly
standard bearer as tbe above named
gentleman.
