The Gwinnett Ueralil is of the
opinion that Mr. Emory Speer will
not very rapidly reform the system
of representation in the Ninth Dis
trict by running as an independent
candidate. This is true, but there is
a vague idea afloat among certain
classes of the population that Mr
Speer would rather be elec ed to
Congress than to reform the system.
But it would be well not to put any
confidence in such rumors until you
see them painted on vour garden
fence.— Constitution.
The Democrats of Clarke county
assembled in Convention Saturday
24th, and elected delegates to the
Gainesville Convention, who were
pledged to abide the decisions of that
body. It thus happens that two sets
of'delegates from Clarke eounty will
present ’heir credentials to t]ie
Convention—one representing tlie
element ot disorganization, repre
sented by Mr. Emory Speer, and the
other representing the Democratic
party of Clarke.— Constitution.
We are sorry to see that Mr.
Emory Speer lias announced himself
as an independent candidate for Con
gress in the Ninth District. It is of
tlie utmost importance that the har
mony and organization of the Demo
cratic party in Georgia should be
maintained. The candidacy of inde-
1
pendents is fraught with much miss
chief. Their contests with the nomi
nees of the party will make breaches
through which the common enemy
will some day enter. We do not
pretend to say that nominating con
ventions are infallible bodies. They
are sometimes the cause of incompe
tent and unworthy men being placed
in important positions. But as a
general rule, their work in Georgia
lias been ibr good and not for evil.
But for the perfect organization and
discipline of the Democrats, the State
could not have been redeemed from
the rule of Bullock and I is robber
band. Tf organization ami discipline
are abandoned, we may find our
selves n a few years in the same po
sition from^vliicli we were extricated
with so much difficulty in 1870. We
express in all kindness the hope that
Mr. Speer will not lend his counten- more
mice to a movement that in a few
years may demoralize mid destroy
the Democratic party in Georgia.
Chronicle and Sentinel.
The Ninth Congressional District
lias mi iiidejiendciit ibr Congress, in
the character of Emory Speer. We
are not surprised to learn that Mr.
Speer has announced himself an inde
pendent candidate, knowing, as we
do, the very high opinion Mr. Speer
entertains of Mr. Speer. We do
not doubt that he thinks lie can well
represent tlie Ninth District in Cons
gress. But the question is, how do
i\\e people think ? it is hoped that
Mr. Speer will be sadly di-appoiuled
n bis youthful aspirations tor national
ioiioi’s. We are opposed to politi
cians thrusting themselves upon the
;Ko\jle. We are opposed to inde-
joendents in nine cases out of ten.
Our main opposition therefore to
Mr Speer, is on account of his as-
sinned independence. We desire the
Democratic party to hold itself togeth
er in bonds of unity and streugth. It
is hoped, therefore, that the people
of the Ninth District will select their
i" i . .iir r 1 own best matt, and put him in the
field ou the lslli ot March, next, and
elect him by an overwhelming ma
jority over every independent that
arrogates to himself tlie right of
thinking and deciding for tlie people
who would represent them best .in
Congress. In conclusion, wo would
remark that it is unwise for the Deni
ocrals of Georgia to think that we
are entirely safe from Radical misrule.
When we begin to divide, the enemy
trill marshal their forces and march
into power. A word to the wise is
sufficient.—Central Georgian.
