Ms. Hexes says be will lurils Colonel
Billups to can ram the district with him.
This is an example that Dr. Felton
mlgbt well follow. He might also follow
the example of his leader OoL Thorn
ton, who will not hesitate to meet bis
opponents on the stump. We know fr
a certainty that the refusal of Dr. Fel
ton to meet Judge Letter has excited
Col. Thornton’s indignation.
Maxtoh Mabels unfolds his tale. It
pins little Abe Hewitt in the chair in
which we were polite enough to seat
him the day after the consummation
of the electoral fraud. Ale ought to

From all parts of the ninth congres
sional district comes the cheering in
formation that the action of the Gaines-
eille convention, in nominating Colonel
Joel A. B llnps, receives the most en
thusiastic endorsement of the people.
The fact is demonstrated that he is as
popular in the mountains as in the
loweV end of the district, and the gen.
oral impression is that he will have
liuie difficulty in defeating Bpeer at
the polls in November. The nomination
of Colonel Billups is not only considered
the best that could be made under the
circumstances, but the best that eonld
be made under any circumstances, and
in making a campaign against him, the
independent candidate will find himself
greatly embarrassed, provided he limits
the canvass to the abuse of conventions
and their results, and if he.goes beyond
this, it will not be necessary for Colonel
Billups to make any exertions.
W. are aqxions to discover upon
what grounds Mr. Bpeer will claim the
tuffrages of the people of the ninth.
He is mot a better man than Colonel
Billups. He is not a purer min. In
short, he is not the snperlor of the
democratic nominee either mentally or
morally, and is not nearly so well qual
ified to represent the people. We sup
pose, however, he will devote himself
to attacking the democracy, abusing
ihe organization and denouncing con
ventions, but with this sort of thing the
people have grown familiar—even to
disgust They are able to estimate the
animus of such abuse. They know
that a hatred of conventions by any
ambitions person springs primarily
from the tact that conventions have
not teen proper to vindicate their pu
rity by nominating the ambitions per
son, and they perceive dearly that un
der the epedoua plea of tndependent-
iam,an organised attempt to destroy and
disband the demceratic party has been
set on foot by these who believe that
in. this way only can their greed for of
fice be satisfied. We say organized at
tempt, because it la well known that,
previous to the fortunate nomination
of Judge George* N. Lester, the inde
pendent party in the seventh district
eras more thoroughly and effectively
Ths Felton partisans In the seventh
district are drculeung a contemptible
canard to the effect that Judge Lester
v luoteered to prosecute the Colnmbua
prisoners. It is needless to say that
Jndge Lester was not oonnected with
the case in anv shape or form. He was
employed neither for nor against the
It was stated in Tax CuasTtTtrrioit
the other day that Colonel Billups wa„
born in Clarke county. He was born
in Oglethorpe county. But, really, it
doesn’t make any difference where he
was born. He will make an excellent
representative in congress, and will be
elected.
Karoxxs from eouUiern and m nth-
west Georgia say that those sections
will be largely represented at the o su
ing fair of the North Georgia Block at d
Pklr association. Toe troth la. that fa r

The young men left by Mr. Willie
Storey in .charge of the Chicago Times
are making e very mysterious mudd
out of e very plain matter. Speaking
of the case In Bomb Carolina, which
has recently grown oat ol the n-nrder
of Amos Ladd by re venae officers, the
Times says:

of tbe Caned Setae aievmmiud testate enure
energy end pluck, there need be no
fear of any serious weakening of tbe
party. Aa we approach 1880, we be
lieve tbe democrats, the hnngry “outs”
included, will naturally be drawn
closer together. All will see
that all tbe southern states are use
may to ensure the election of a demo
cratic president. The lea of a single
one of these states might result in the
election of Grant. All will see this i!
they do not now, and we will be mnch
mistaken if the tasks of tbe independent
busy-bodies ere not greatly increased
as tbe hour ol fiaal victory draws near.
The men who doea anght to weaker,
the only organization that can achien
each e victory will deserve end will
assuredly receive ell the punishment
that the organiztiion an inflict. And
no one will have en equitable
right to protest against each e course

each a protect any weight whatever.

Hammond, 6. Tbe delegate* ol Pike,
Milton, Spalding sod Fulton v ave not
been selected; bat the best information
is to the effect that Mr. Candler frill
carry the first two; Mr. Stewmrt,6pald-
inz, and Mr. Hammond, Fulton.
Cpeon county ia in short the only
“doubtful” county; and her manner cl
selecting delegates makes a foreshadow
ing ol her choice very difficult. Her
democratic voters are to vote directly
by militia districts tor their respective
congressional choices. The election
managers of the distric t ere then to
assemble at the coart honse ior the
porpoee of consolidating the vote,
and selecting delegates to
give tbe will cl the party in the county
expression in the district conven
tion. These delegatee are to vote first
for the men who receives the highest
number ol votes in tbe county, end if
hie name is withdrawn, they ere then
to vote for tbe men who received tbe
next highest number of votes, end so on
to tbe end.
With parity st tbe ballot-bcxes no
better wev could be devised tor ascer
mining the will of the party. The
county executive committee appoints
me mane gets of the elections in the mi
litia districts, and if that task is faith-
tally performed, the plan is without a
Unit. It is better then a primary elec
tion in-its usual form, because it ena
bles tbe voter to vote directly for his
favorite, gives all tbe aspirants an even
chance, and lets the voters dictate the
action of their representatives under
all circumstances within the nmge o
probability, even to third or fourth
