General John B. 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.

that he left the senate without a stain upon his

the time had come when he should give some
thought to his wife and children, and he did it.

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 than by resigning. He said mark

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

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

renewed applause. He thanked the audience
lor the warm reception that had been accorded
him, and said whatever he had been to the peo
ple in the past he would try to be in the future.
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. It took from the I
schools of the country books that taught our J
children that their fathers were traitors and rc-

ALL TO BOOM GORDON.
It had been charged that the demonstration at
Montgomery had all been arranged just to boom
Jno. B. Gordon lor governor of Georgia. To what
straits are men driven that they must drag the
memories of the brave dead ^into the sluni3 of
politics for personal promotion ? Did all' the
loyal men, women and children of Alabama en
gage in a scheme to dishonor the memory of their
fallen heroes just to make bne man governor of
another state ? This, he characterized, as a fair
sample ofthe mean and petty charges which his
opponents are driven to make in their despera
tion.
THE CONVICT LEASE.
He said it was charged that he had been con- J
uecled with the convict lease. He admitted th*i~f
he had been, Jjut he got out of it as quickly as po j
Voutd, arid without mkking oh6 dollar. All he f
asked for was to get back the money which he I
had put into it. But who, he asked, is respond- 1

A Profilnble In vent men t.
Hon. J. H. Stead, State Senator in Colorado,
writes: "Thirty years ago I took a policy in the
Mutual Life for $1,000, annual payments $22.08.
which I paid . or 20 years, making $165. For the
last ten years the premium has been paid by the
dividends. In other words, I have not paid any
thing for ten years 1 am now informed from the
general office of the Company that my policy is
worth $1,800. Had I continued to pay the pre
miums iu cash, as I.should have done, the policy
would be worth $2,300 to $2,400. But I have se
cured $1,800 for my family by an investment of
$465, which is air excellent showing. I recom
mend Life Insurance because I believe in it, and
believe in the Mutual Life Policies}.
