Pursuant to announcement 150 or 200 people bled at the court house last night for the organizing a Gordon club and hearing by ex-Governor Smith.

We dropped in at therehersal last night, and judging from that it bids fair to reflect credit on the talent of Columbus. Under the man agement of Miss Mollie Thomas and Mias Carrie Swiff, it will be a musical treat for all who attend. We advise all to go and contribute to a good cause, and at the same time be pleasantly entertained. Open Air Meeting*. Dr. J. H.

Governor Smith began by saying, that there are two candidates before the people for governor. They wore both democrats, and he did not pro pose to abuse either of them. He said that the great question now is: Shall the railroads con trol the people, or the people control the rail roads? 'This, he regarded as the real issue. He said the aggressions of the railroad corporations became so oppressive, that the people took the matter in hand, and in 1877, under the leader ship of General Toombs, had a law passed that the legislature from time to time, should pass laws declaring what was reasonable rates for the railroads to charge. In 1879 the railroad commission was established. He declared that the commission bill was framed by railroad men. He said that the commission ers were at the mercy of the governor. He could remove them and appoint others at will. Nobody complained of tilts, for it was right. But the railroads were not satisfied with their own bill and they tested its constitutionality in the United States courts, and Judge Woods decided that it was constitutional. Judge Martin J. Crawford had also -aid that it was right. Governor Smith them took up the claim which be said was made by the companies, that the commission would wreck the railroads. He charged that the Central railroad company had watered its stock*10 percent. They were con tinually increasing their possessions, yet they say the commission is bankrupting then'. Where do they get the money to make all these acces sions to their property? They make the money out of the rates which the commission allows them to charge. He enumerated the different lines of which the Central had gained possession. He said the stock of the West Point and Atlanta railroad had been watered 100 percent., and yet it pays a reasonable dividend. Still they say the commissiup is bankrupting tlu*m. Hi said the great and good Mr. Wadlc;. said lie was in favor of a commission, and he was .-.it is- fied with it. In the course of events, However, he died, and who succeeded him: He didn’t care to say. for he cared nothing about the nn\:i. He characterized such men as “ruilro id kings" who ride in their palace ears. He wanted to know who paid for t)ie*e caisv The people, and yet Ho s.icli cars are furnished for tlie people to ride in - He didn't want anybody to think lie was opposed to railroads having tie ir rights. If any man said that he was, that man lied, lie believed in the railroad- making a fair intere t upon their investment, un-l they were entitled to no in-.re. Tiny should be allowed this, ami ii they were not they wers wronged by the pc; !e. He :cl that railroads are quasi-public en* .*r- I’rise*. They were chartered by • ml tIn.-people bad rights which ti “There is a certain man by the name of Felt m that lias come cut now. I understand that he'.- a Bacon man, What he i« Ciod Almighty only knows. 1 understand he made a speech at Mon tezuma the- other day in which he charged that I had a pecuniary interest in the convict lease, and expressed great regret that I was not there to hear it. If I had been there he would never have said it. I know him. If he intimates that I have, or ever had, any pecuniary interest in the convict lease, he lies. I don’t want to talk about that creature. He is a liar from hiR mother’s womb; and I want that printed. They call him a distinguished citi zen. He's a nice man to meet a gentleman. It is said a pole cat can whip a Bengal tiger if he can slash him in the face with his tail. He'll never slash me in the face with his tail. He picked me up once, and he dropped me quickly." Gov. Smith then spoke of the part Felton is taking in the campaign, and said he was paving the way to an independent race. He had assert ed that he would not vote for Gordon if nomi nated, and only that he would vote for Bacon if nobody comes out who he likes better. He se verely denounced Felton, and dropped the sub ject by saying that he did not like to talk about such a creature. Gov. Smith concluded by’ declaring that if Ba con received the nomination lie would certainly vote for him. He spoke for about an hour and a half. The greater part of his speech was devoted j to the railroad subject and was substantially the ! same as that delivered at Talbotton at the open- j ing of the campaign and published in full in the 1 Enquirer-Sun. j At the conclusion of Governor Smith's speech. lie stated that the object <>f the meeting was t‘> I organize a Gordon club, and ln.it business v as i. order. j Mi.

He chargieii that they lobbied the last legisla ture in a most disgraceful manner. They had their men there, and they were organized for the fight. The railroad men cried out that unless the commission was modified the roads would be bankrupted and no more roads would be built in the state. They even sent a petition up from Columbus saying the money could not be had to build the Georgia Midland, unless the commission was modified. He said the commission was not modified and yet the Georgia Midland is,being* built, and he declared that more railroads were being built in Georgia now than ever before. The commission was not bankrupting them, yet they said it must be mollified. These railroads are srid organized for the light. He km \\ this to he a fact from the signs of the t hues. Here Governor Smith charged that Bacon is the candidate of the railroads, lie is th-^iaid attor ney of a great corporation. Thor** was nothing wrong in that, but let him stay where he is. He had nothing to say against the honesty nr ability of Bacon. It he is e'ected governor lie will, no doubt, try to do right, but lie did not want to trust a railroad attorney as governor. Hellion eulogized General Goidon in the high est terms. He spoke <>f his brilliant war record, and said ho hud seen him with u handful! of men charge the enemy, and he novel saw him charge them but what he rattled them. He had seen him with the blood trickling down to his very waist leading the charge against the enemy. He looked with perfect contempt upon the m.in who would try to tarnish the fame of John R. Gordon. They even go so far as to charge that Gordon will help Joe Brown t * steal the state road. Does any man be lieve that John B. Gordon will steal? Had he not been tried in times that tried men's souls ami been found true? Did he not represent the state with distinction in the senate? They say he re signed - sold out to Joe Brown. He km-wasa matter of fact that General Gordon was opposed to Brown's appointment, but Xowcombe tojd him that he must answer in twenty-four hours, ami then* was no other alternative. Gordon had be come too poor to live in Washington. He was deeply in debt from having given so liberally to poor Confederate soldiers.* He was compelled to do something, and lie did the best he could. He knew that he had censured Gordon at the time, but he did not understand the facts as he does now . He made friends with Gordon more than a year ago. They fell out like men and they made friends like men. He had never seen the time when he would not have voted for Jno. B. Gordon. They say Gordon is not a finan cier. What had Bacon ever done to prove that he was one? He cited numerous distinguished statesmen who lived and died poor. He said if they wanted a financier, why not take Jay in ih; Homcable Mu* «-i um\ </nine. : Gcnt'm- ' men There are many i. , .iisanci.*‘* being emu- 1 plaim (i of in tlu- city, from which the citizens , claim protection of your body, and we feel that i these nuisance- can rnd should be remedied by , the passage of such ordinances e.s wil. give pro- ; lection to the lives and property of our citizens.
