THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 20, 1877
7
Convention at Social Circle.
Social Circle, Not. 9th, 1877.
The Senatorial Convention of the
—7th District, convened this morning
at 11 o’clock, a. M.
Jmlgc W.S. Montgomery, of New
ton county, was called to the chair,
and presided over the deliberations
of the Convention.
G. C. Thomas, of Oconee, was elec
ted Secretary.
The Convention being regularly
organized, the Chairman stated the
object of the meeting, and then
called for the'roll of the delegates.
The roll being called it appears that
the delegates were from Walton—G.
C. Sillman, W. II. Hill.
From Clarke—L.W. Stephens, A.
S. Dorsey. Represented by alternate
Joe Barry.
From Oconee—G. C. Thomas, J.
W. Lea.
From Rockdale—Elias Wooly, B.
N. Baker.
From Newton—Mansell Glass, E.
F. Edwards, S. W. Hawkins, W. S.
Montgomery.
All of whom being present, the
Chairman announced that the Con
vention was ready for business.
On motion the two-third rule was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. Wooly, from Rockdale, made
a few remarks in reference to electing
a Senator from Rockdale county,
claiming by the method of rotation
that Rockdale was entitled to it. After
a tedious debate by Messrs. Wooly,
Sillman, Hill and others, by vote of
the Convention, it was conceded that
the Senator now nominated was for
an unexpired term, caused by opera
tion of law, and that the question of
rotation of counties could not prop
erly come before this Convention ; as
soon as this question was so decided,
Mr. 1). N. Baker, very abruptly left
the Convention. On motion of G.
C. Sillman the delegates hound them
selves to abide the result of the Con
vention. When this motion was put
^before the Convention to be acted
•»on Mr. Elias Wooly, the last rein-
nt of the delegation from Rockdale,
k bis recently purchased bearer,
d apparently in great baste took
french leave ot the Convention, in
sisting that the Georgia Legislature
absolutely needed a (Stuard.)
The Convention being reduced
now to ten in number, it proceeded to
elect a candidate for the State Srnate
of the 27th Senatorial District, which
resulted in the election of the Hon.
Henry McDaniel of Walton.
On motion a committee of three
was appointed by the Chairman to in
form Mr. McDaniel of the selection of
himself as a candidate to represent us
in the Senate, composed of E. F. Ed
wards of Newton, .Too Barry of
Clarke and G. C. Thomas, of Oco
nee.
The following resolution was now
offered by Col. Edwards.
Be it resolved, by the people of the
27th Senatorial District of Georgia in
Convention assembled, that it is the
sense and desire of this Convention,
that the Hon. John B. Gordon, shall
be his own successor in the Senate of
the United States, and when that
question shall bo submitted to the
Legislature of Georgia, we hereby
earnestly desire onr nominee, if elec-
ted, to cast bis ballot for that gentle
man as long as there is any chance
for his election, and to use every
available means, consistent with duty
to secure the re-election of Senator
Gordon, which was unanimously ad
opted.
It was, on motion, ordered that
the minutes ot the Convention be
furnished each newspaper in the dis*
trict, with request that they be pub-
Being no further business before
the Couvention it adjourned aine die.
G. C. Thomas, Secretary.
—Sir Robert Walpole was the only
«• >i unoner who, in modem days, has
Knight of the Garter, and his
possession of this honor evidently
excited (although he was a Prime
Minister) much bitter comment. A
writer, in 1719, says: “ A late enor
mous commoner, in the wantonness
of bis power and contempt of the
nobility, obtruded himself into the
oi dee. ” The Garter was offered to
Sir Robert Peel, but declined. Lord
Palmerston, an Irish peer only, had
it: Lord Russell had it, and perhaps
Lord Beaconsfield intends to have it.
