Tt was not more than a bi-fitting com
pliment tliat the democracy of Muscogee
county sliouid nominate lion. \V. A.
Little and Hon. T. J. Chappell as can
didates for re-election to the lower house
a*f the Georgia legislature. Both of these
gentlemen have been tried and found
faithful to the trust reposed in them. No
aonnty can claim members of more uso-
fiuhiess, and the experience of past ser
vices all the better prepares them for ca
pable service in the future. The nomi
nations will meet with strong approval,
md the county is to be congratulated in
the excellent selections made.
THE NEXT SI'EAKElt OK THE HOLME.
Hon. W. A. Little was yesterday nomi
nated as a candidate for the house of rep-
cesentatives, and it goes without the say
ing that he will he re-elected. Apprecia
ting this fact, we called upon ('apt. Little
yesterday afternoon in order to ascertain
if he will he a candidate for re-election as
spemker of the house. He candidly in
formed us that lie will be a candidate,
and that he saw no objection to a state
ment to that effect.
The universal satisfaction given while
occupying the chair during the last term
nf the legislature is an assurance that
Captain Little will find but little, if any.
opposition to him in the approaching
election. 11 is rulings were all esteemed
fiurand impartial, his executive ability
is unquestioned and perhaps no man in
tide state is more thoroughly familiar
wth parliamentary rules and usages.
These facts, combined w ith 11is superior
ability, eminently qualify him for the
position, and he will no doubt receive a
similar compliment at the hands <>1 the
legislature that was bestowed upon him
by the democratic voters of his own
aonnty.
In Ibis connection il affords us pleasure
to say that in no position w hich Captain
Little has ever undertaken to till, has he
ever failed to do so w ith eminent satis
faction to those interested. lie lias
friends, and their name is legion, who
believe him competent to worthily li!l
any position in the gift of the people of
the state, and the faithful discharge ol all
the duties encumbent upon him. and the
able manner in which they have been
performed, has given him a strong hold
a poll a very large constituency.
'inith as the champion of General Gor-
ion. Hi* was known to be one of tfo
•trongert supporter* of General Gordon
and therefore the man of all others b
unite his friends.
Tellers were appointed and the voti
'aken by having the Bacon men tr
rise first, and then the Gordon men
After a careful count the chairman an
nounced that < iovernor Smith had been
lected to preside. The vote stood lilt
to k’.'th, a difference of only about 14.
Having won the light, the next ques
tion was how to use the victory. Ann
here the Bacon men had a deeidei
advantage, General Gordon had an
nounced himself as the friend of th<
people and of primary elections. Hi
organs had demanded that the peoph
Humid have an opportunity to vote
Major Bacon, whilst not opposing pri
maries, had declared that each count;
meeting should decide for itself as to how
delegates would he appointed. So tha 1
if the Bacon men had elected theii
candidate for chairmen there
was nothing to prevent them
from going on to appoint the
delegates at once; and as they would have
been in the majority the county would
have gone for Bacon. This was evidently
die programme of the Bacon men, and il
was perfectly fair and legitimate. But
the Gordon men were handicapped and
could not enjoy the fruits of their victory
without a departure from the principles
of their chief. Capt. Redd, therefore,
felt himself constrained to offer a resolu
tion providing for a primary election to
be held all over the county. Mr. Estes,
another Gordon man, ut once offered
as a substitute a resolut'on
to vote by ballot at once.
As the Gordon men were in the majority
they might have passed his resolution and
elected delegates during the meeting. But
the Bacon men were equal to the emer
gency and Introduced an amendment ex
tending the election until 7 o’clock. This
would have given them ample time to
bring out reinforcements from the shops
and factories, where they believed them
selves strong, and at the same time it
would have cut out the country, where
they feared they were weak.
The Gordon men vehemently opposed
this scheme and demanded either a vote
by the meeting or a general election. At
one time it looked like the Gordon men
would abandon primaries and bring the
question to an issue on the spot, and we
think they would have done so rather
than accept the Bacon amendment. The
Bacon men, however, did not propose to
force the issue and with rare tack ac
cepted the resolution of Captain Redd.
Thus, whilst Bacon was defeated in
carrying the county at that time, his
friends have procured him another
chance. This ended the fight, which was
from first to last spirited, skillful and ex
citing. Both sides gave and received
heavy political blows, but whilst it was
done earnestly it was in good temper.
We watched the fight closely and saw-
nothing unfair on either side. No doubt
the young men on the Gordon
ide felt some disappointment at the
result . They saw that Captain Redd had
the chance to end the fight, and think
he gave it away. But reflection will
show them that they would not have
ibtained an easy victory, and if they had
succeeded it would have given rise to |
bitterness and reproach.
Cp to this time the campaign has been j
conducted in the very best humor. Wei
den harvest,but thi»can on I y -he expected
after diligent -,g and cultivation. It
is beautiful to -ce old age,crowticd with
loving honors, but this only follows a
youth and manhood of useful activities.
Work infuses life and vigor in all tin
veins; the cheerful and happy heart rr-
ilects its prismatic beauties over the home
and surrounding horizon. If life is what
we make it, all should strive to make it
useful and happy, and this requires de
sign and effort. The person who live.-
miserably where happiness is attainable
makes the worst sort of failure.

IN TIIE PRICES OF
Mt'SCOUKF, SPEAKS TO THE DISTRICT.
We cannot recall the time when so
many of the representative citizens o.
Muscogee have assembled in a political
gathering as attended the mass meeting
held yesterday. The people were put
upon notice that much important busi
ness would he transacted, and they weri
'here to see that the wishes of the poo
ile wore carried out.
It was under these auspices that th.
democratic voters of Muscogee i-unntt
presents the name of Hun. Thomas W.
Grimes to the voters of the fourth con-
gressioiyd district, and asks their favora
ble consideration in the nominating con
vention. In presenting Mr. Grimes as a
congressional candidate, the people oi
Muscogee use very strong words of en
dorsement, but they know whereof they
speak. They say tliat “in presenting the
name of our candidate we present a man
of ability, firmness and integrity, and
who will reflect honor upon himself, his
county, the district and our state.” This
is strong language, but emphatically true.
None know it better than the people
among whom lie was born and lias been
reared, and this adds the more to the
weight of the compliment of which he is
the recipient.
It is true that Mr. Grimes has been a
candidate for some time, but his action in
the premises was but a response to the
wishes of the people of this county and
this entire section, privately expressed
long prior to the public expression given
their sentiments yesterday. He was rec
ognized as a man who would harmonize
all elements of discord and effectually
smother whatever of dissent prejudice or
passion might harbor. He is a man of
the people and for the people—as honeet
and patriotic as the days are long, and in
ability the peer of any man in the fourth
congressional district.
Mr. Grimes will enter the nominating
convention under the most encouraging
auspices. It is conceded by those who
are in a position to understand the situa
tion that he will carry every county
south of the mountain. If this should be
the case, it will only require two votes
from the five counties north of the moun
tain to secure a majority of the votes in
the convention. AYhen it is recalled that
Muscogee and several, of the other coup-,
tics which are now warmly supporting
Mr. Grimes have frequently extended
help in the time of need to those pre
sented by counties iri that section, it is
not unreasonable to anticipate a recipro
cation. A more propitious opportunity
has not been offered for a demonstration
that the district is favorable to the break
ing down of all barriers to harmony and
fraternal feeling from one end to the
other of the fourth congressional district.

AS WK MARK IT.
It would be an interesting study to as
certain how far life receives its hues
from human tempers and actions, and to
wlmt extent divine agency is respon-ible
for the same. We know that the beauti
ful sunshine gives the (lowers their

J and tropical regions nature assumes her
! most lovely and vigorous aspects. We

jit. Intlie different phases of physical
I life it is seen that cultivation has much
, to do will, growth and development.
The law of heaven decrees tliat activity
is life and inertia is death. The uni
verse is in motion, and none of tin- suns

ranging the plans of creation. Judging
