The soldiers could ride them in marching .jitter with lest fatigue than they could march, and at a rate of speed that might sasilv determine the fate of a hat tie. 01 It COt'NTV NO.Ml.VEEN. 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. uoimi R EGULAR MEETING tomorrow (Monday) evening at 8 o’clock.

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. 1.
