was adopted:
Be it resolved, by the Democratic
party in convention assembled, That
seeing there is a tendency manifested
in some portions of the State to en-
eonrge what is called the independent
movement, but which is in reality
the alliance of Democratic malcon
tents with the so-called disbanded
Republican party of Georgia, that
we look with mortification upon such
movement, and we each and every
one hereby pledge onrselves-to do
everything in our power—and call
upon the good people of Clarke county
to do so—to maintain and uphold still
the Democratic banner of organiza
tion, under which poor, bleeding
South Carolina and Louisiana were
saved, and under whieh Georgia, the
Empire State of the South, has
reached the acme of her political,
igricultnral, social and conunercia
position.

keenly the opposition which comes
from Athens than from any place in

that charming little city—love its re

is the warm friend of Athens; of the

Railroad, and aside from this she has
many Athenian residents who add to
the society and prosperity of the city

strong love and affection for the old
home. Onr people are mortified that
Athens fights her—opposes her—not
with arguments, but from ill-feeling
on account of some supposed unjust
railroad discrinnialions against her
basilicas men. Athens is every way
far more identified with Atlanta than
Milledgeville, and certainly works
against her own interest. She should
set herself in line, for ihe verdict of
the people will be—we will retain the
Capital at Atlanta, accept her liberal
offer and have there a suitable and
convenient State House.”

In view* of the fact that a strenn
ons effort is being made by what is
called the Independent movement, to
disintegrate and break down the
Democratic party in Clarke county, it
behooves every true Democrat and
lover of his country’s interest, to
stop and think and come out and see
that all Democrats iu the county are
out, and that they vote on this day.
Democrats! you, too, well understand
this insidious movement to break
up the Democratic party in Clarke
county and a word to you is sufficient.
Wifi you stand silently by and suffer
this yonr greatest bulwark of pro
tection destroyed ? The history of
your own comity commands you to
pause—the history of your sister
states.is fresh in your memories! will
you ignore the evil that has grown
out of a want of party organization
and party disintegration? Then
come one, come all and let us roll up
a handsome vote for the man jhat is
to be our standard bearer in the next
Legislature.
