THE GUBERNATORIAL OUTLOOK.
The aspect of gubernatorial expec
tations and prospects have materially
changed within the past few weeks,
if we may judge by the indications
we have noticed. Colquitt, Harde
man and James seem to grow more
dimly in the distance, while Smith,
a# against them, is looming up into
higgtr proportions as a formidable
candidate. This fact seems to have
the effect of concentrating the forces
of the other three gentlemen into the
single purpose of defeating Smith,
and they seem willing to forego per
sonal preferences to secure that ob
ject. If there is anything in “the
signs of the times” it is that the race
will eventuate in a single-handed con
test between Gov. Smith and Hon.
H. V. Johnson, the latter gentleman
coming to the front with firm and
steady tread as the representative of
the people as against the politicians
and office-seekers who have appa
rently combined to elect Smith for a
third term. With his two thousand
appointments throughout the State
ho holds a hand for his own perpet
uation in office that any Csesar might
covet. We find his most active sup
porters are of this class, while the
people— the masses who expect no
offifce—are turning their attention to
Gov. Johnson as the man above all
others in the State who can
best defeat a third term and nip
Georgia Csesar ism in the bud.
We say our belief is that the race
will be between Gov. Smith and Ex-
Gov. Johnson. Other aspirants are
rapidly weakening. They have been
on the track too long, and are out of
wind and will reluctantly retire fora
fresher man, who will enter the race
with better * prospect of defeating
— _ . .. .
uiv-i* —— * * i, >pt i t
the present executive oF^Yie 1 sHuM?,
who has the power of better com
bining his forces through the mar
*halling of dependent office-holders
in his own behalf. In these degen
erate days official patronage in the
hands of a man to distribute is a
power but few can overcome. It re
quires one who possesses great popu
larity and whose distinguished abili
ty will command the attention of the
people and thus place him in the
front as their representative and
leader. It is only necessary that
mu>h a mau aa Mr. Juhnson eh.w.i.i
be presented to the people to he taken
up as their candidate. The politi
cians and office-seekers have so per
sistently “pushed” their favorites
that the people have almost forgot
ten they are free to select another as
their standard-bearer. The presses
generally are committed to one or
the other of the long-standing candi
dates, and few or none of them are
even willing to mention the fact that
Mr. Johnson is the choice of a large
portion of the people for Governor.
They are afraid to make such men
tion even when they are asked to do
so in a polite way. They know full
well that Mr. Johnson is strong in
the confidence of the people, and
that the people could he quickly
aroused in his favor.
The politicians and the office-seek
ers, therefore, are not and will not be
favorable to the nomination of Mr.
Johnson, though we tell them that
he is the only man who can com
mand the following necessary to de
feat Gov, fltnith. If the fvienda of
other aspirants aro simnli? m
oc ••anything to beat Smith,” they
will all eventually have to concen
trate on Johnson to effect that end.
He is a man of such exalted charac
ter, possessing all the elements of
the highest statesmanship, incor
ruptible and pure, and so eminently
a representative man of the highest
order of political leaders, that lie will
have but little difficulty in defeating
the third term movement now being
developed around Atlanta, The
friends of Gov. Smith, in Atlanta,
meet visitors there with the declara
tion that “it is ail one way” for Guv-
that impression upon every one who
goes to the “Gate City.” They are
to be found busy around the hotels,
are generally office-holders or of a
certain combination in which certain
mistrusted men of the past are said
to be integral parts. This is saying
too much, perhaps, by “ad and little
country paper” like The Express;
but we state, nevertheless, that such
is our own observation and informa
tion from what we deem reliable
sources. About these tilings we
shall have more to say in the future
aa we learn and know more defi
nitely of the movements of certain
conspicuous persons who, heretofore,
were antagonistic, but now are har
moniously conferring together to
carry certain points by the removal
of “skeletons” in “theclosets” of im
pecunious individuals as part of the
grand scheme of political legerde
main. If we are not badly misin
formed, “things are working,” and
when we are placed in possession of
certain facts that have transpired and
ftre transpiring, we may a tale un
fold.
The gubernatorial outlook, then,
Is this;; Neither Colquitt, Harde
man or James can be nominated over
Smith. He has the Caesarian grip of
the situation so far as they are con
cerned. These three gentlemen are
virtually out of the race from pres
tut hppbnrau'cctft I'hey muy rally
their friends occasionally about in
spots over the State. The weakness
of each is so evident that it requires
no great political sagacity to see their
fate if a nomination is to be confined
to the four gentlemen named. In a
contest of that sort Smith has every
advantage. Besides having been
generally popular, there are hun
dreds of men over the State hound to
him by official ties. Opposition to
him cannot he concentrated upon the
gentlemen who have been so long
prominent for Governor, however
clever they may he. They must give
way to a stronger man or suffer de
feat. Ex-Gov. Johnson is the strong
est man with the masses, and Smith
is the strongest with the politicians
and office-holders. The people will
rally in large majorities to Johnson,
beeausfejie does not and will not seek
the office. lie has modestly retired
from politics, desiring no political
office, nor would he raise his hand or
voice to secure it. But we tell the
people of Georgia that if they desire
him as their Governor, and will elect
him to that position voluntarily, he
cannot and will not as a good Demo
crat and true patriot, refuse to serve
them.
It is true, too, that the people
should enforce the republican idea—
the true principle in representative
government—that “the office should
seek the man, and not the man the
office,” How many papers, we re
spectfully ask, are there in Georgia
willing to conserve the public good
in the advocacy of such a principle in
free government?
FREE DISCUSSION’.
11l our courm as a journalist we
have ever made it a rule to allow
free discussion on public questions
in our columns. We often admit
communications absolutely antag
onistic to our own views, and repub
lish articles from other papers of the
same character upon a request from
respousibie parties to do so. For in
stance, two weeks, ago we gave an
original communication favoring
Gen. Colquitt for Governor. Last
week we republished, by request, an
article signed “Wilkes,” from the
Augusta Constitutionalist , sustaining
Gov. Smith’s financial administration
thereby sustaining also his re-election
to his present position. We do these
things because we are an advocate of
free discussion, and refuse to close
our columns against the honest con
victions of others because they differ
with us. Tiie Express is a free
wherein the people of—
z!.,,i ex
pression.
Last week The Express contain
ed a communication from a promi
nent gentleman followed by editorial
remarks of our own favoring H. V.
Johnson for Governor. The two
were a reflection of the sentiment of
a large number of people throughout
the State./fhe object;was tcjplaee Mr.
Johnson before the people as a gen
tleman tit for the position, and pre
sent him as one of the leading men
from whom the people might select
, (-lAvtunor. With tiiij view v> V Wi'Otg
private notes to the editors of the
Augusta, Savannah, Macon, Colum
bus, Atlanta and Athens papers,
making a personal request that
they give the friends of Gov.
Johnson a showing and a hearing
through their columns by the repub
lication of the article. Of course
the question of complying with the
request was a matter merely of cour
tesy as between those papers and
The Express. It was a courtesy
we should certainly have extended
to the humblest of the fraternity, but
was denied us so far except that the
Constitution republished an extract
from the article.
Now, we refer to the matter to
show the public how fearful these
papers are of free discussion, espe
cially when it brings forward a geu
tlernan for Governor whose very
name in such connection is calculated
to arrouse the enthusiasm of the
people, and against his record aught
can he said except timt it is one of
political splendor. We under
•aniid hv muck refusal to extend a
courtesy politely sought tmu u m
not intended by these presses that
Gov. Johnson or his friends shall
have a showing, however large a
class of the honest people of Georgia
are to make him Governor. The re
quest though made in few words,
was so politely made that we had no
idea it would he denied if for no other
reason than for personal considera
tions.
This is not what we call free dis
cussion among Democrats. It doesn’t
show a disposition for the people to
have a fair chance in making up their
rtSw.inat Lit Xlm suloulton *>i * v<-rri>i-.
It means that these papers are deier
mined the people shall have no
choice except such as they (the edit
ors) themselves select and advocate
in their columns.
Since the foregoing was put in type
we have received the Columbus
Times of Tuesday. That paper in
complying with our request, says:
“We do not propose because we
favor another selection, to
close our columns to a statement
ot the claims of other distinguished
Georgians.” This is manly anti
shows a disposition to allow free dis-!
eussion on a great public question. •
We confidently expected that several \
of the papers would extend the i
the courtesy we asked but doubted !
that others would.
Brethren, this is a case of journal
istic ethics which demands discuss
ion. Are our brethren, free and
magnanimous ?
Thcilriftof sentiment ii; the State scorns to
be that Gov. Smith will be bis own successor,
—Co sl.tutio: t of .'luridly.
In the same issue of the Coast itu
tion, under the heading of “the pop
ular voice,” is given extracts from
eight different papers. Ofthese two
only are for Smith, two for James,
one for Gartrell, one for Hardeman,
one for Colquitt, one for Johnson,
anti one not an “advocate for his re
election.” The drift of that showing j
was Ww? td tvJd afainyt dmith i j

A Washington dispatch last week
connected the name of Gen. Young
with the corrupt real estate pool of
that city. This implication is doubt
less for the purpose of injuring Gen.
Young in public estimation. The
best and truest men have their ene
mies, and our friend is not an excep
tion to the rule. In justice to him
and that the public may know the
full truth of Gen. Y r oung’s real estate
transactions at the capital, we give a
statement of facts.
In 1869 or 1870, Gen Young, then a
member of Congress, called on Mr.
William S. Huntington, cashier of
the First National Bank of Washing
ton, an intimate and valued friend,
and asked his advice as to how lie
could best invest some money he had
saved from his salary. Mr. Hunt
ington promised to look around and
see, and in a few days advised Gen.
Young to see Mr. Shepherd, then j
said to be one of the largest real es
tace operators in the city, and was
the intimate friend of Mr. Hunting
ton, whom Mr. 11. said would he of
great service to Young. At that
time Shepherd was a private citizen
of Washington, and had nothing to
do with the District government.
Accordingly Gen. Y'oung called on
Shepherd who promised to look
around for him. After several days
had elapsed Gen. Y. called again
upon Shepherd and was;informed of
a piece of property for sale in the
Northwest part of the city, where
Gen. Young expressly desired to
purchase. The property be
longed to Mr. Mohun, book and
stationery dealer, in the city.
Gen. Young then called on his
friend, ivii. u-iu looked
at the property and advised him to
purchase it. Shepherd said that Mo
hun was anxious to sell, but that he
must have the cash, and that the
property would amount to ten thou
sand dollars. This amount Gen.
Young did not have, hut could com
mand about half of it. So Gen.
Young requested Mr. Shepherd to
take half of the purchase, for which
he (Gen. Y.) paid the cash for all he
got. After the lapse of some months
Mr. Shepherd wrote to Gen. Young
that he had the opportunity to sell
for an advance. Gen. Young wrote
to him to sell, find Mr. Kilbourn
was the purchaser; the sale was made
and Gen. Young received his portion
of the money for the property. This
was the Only business transaction
Gen. Young ever had with Shepherd,
and it was before lie was connected
with the District Government.
NOW, aS tO UIC r
Young’s connection with the real es
tate pool, lie was anxious to invest
what money he could save, and he
accordingly called on his friend, Mr.
Wm. S. Huntington, who handled
his money for him, to make an in
vestment. lie placed his money in
Mr. Huntington’s hands to do aj he
might think best. During Mr.
Huntington’s last illness, General
Young went to see him in George
town, and was told by Mr. H. he had
invested the money in real estrre,
which was to be purchased by Mr.
Kilbourn, then real estate agent, for
him. Gen. Young left Mr. Hunting
ton sick in bed on Friday morning
and went to Richmond, and returned
on Monday and found him dead.
Gen. Young was at a loss for some
time to know what had been done
with the money he had left with the
deceased. He called at the First
National Bank, of which Mr. 11. was
the cashier, to ascertain what had be
come of his funds, and was there re
ferred to Mr. Kilbourn. That gen
tleman said he had invested it in lots
in the Northwestern part of the city,
and at some time in the future he
would render a statement of the
property. It was a year after this
before the statement was given, and
Gen. Young then learned that oth*
ei*s were interested with himself.
Some time in 1874, Gen. Young
saw an article in a New York paper
concerning the “Washington King,”
“Paving,” “Real Estate,” etc., etc.
He at once went to Kilbourn & Latta
property. There were' \!aVims"i4U
mates. from seven to twelve*thous
and dollars. Gen. Young desired to
get his money out of ihe investment,
and sold his interest to Kilbourn &
Latta for five thousand dollars, the
original amount he had put into their
hands. This put an end to Gen.
Young’s connection with that firm.
When the money was put into the
hands of Kilbourn & Latta, Gen.
Young did not know any one was to
be connected with him, and if any ar
rangement was ever made with the
board of public works, or other per
sons, to improve the property pur
chased by Kilbourn & Latta, Gen.
Young did not know it, norjdoeshe
yet know. lie only knows that, as
soon as he suspected that reproach
might attach to him,lie drew out the
amount of his money he had put in
without the advance of one cent.
This statement shows exactly the
connection Gen. Young had with the
men who operated the real estate
pool in Washington. It shows that
as soon as he suspected evil he with
drew, sacrificing even the interest
upon ltis money to do so. He is pre
pared to vindicate his record, and
will do it when necessary. He be
lieves Iviibourn’s testimony will ex
onerate him from the slightest taint
attempted to be atfixed upon his
character.
We regard the Savannah News as
the best managed and the best edit
ed paper in the State. It is honest
and ineorruplble," and we do not be
lieve there is money or patronage
enough in the State to buy its influ
ence. It is a “sentinel upon the
watch-tower” of the people’s rights.
There is no paper in the State we
would more gladly hail as an advo
cate of Herschel V. Johnson for Gov
ernor as against the politics and of
ficer-holders and seekers than the
News. News, come out ou the Side
of the people!
THAT “SYNDICATE.”
The Atlanta Constitution has dis
covered a conspiracy in the form of a
“syndicate” against Gov. Smith’s re
election. It says a number of the
members of the press met in Atlanta
on Thursday night, the 16th inst.,
having “dropped into the city by ac
cident, of course.” The Constitution
says:
••'flic best idea of tbe purposes of the syndi
cate points to a co-nomination solely against
tit - le-clcction of Governor Mnitli. The idea ol
talcing up u particular candidate aid concen
trating tae attention ol the people upon him
seems o have been abandoned. The secret ot
this concession appears to have been an ina
bility to agree upon the right man. Any ol
those persons whose names are prominent fur
Governor would be preferable to Smith in the
eve of the syndicate, but winch one is foremost
sti :1 stands debatable, lienee the labors ei
the syndicate, are to be con lined, as far as we
can learn them, to each man preferring his
own candidate, but all to devote his chief la~ (
bors to the end of destroying Smith’s chances
of renomination. Smith is the lion in the path,
and to drive hint out. or slaughter him ou the
spot is now the programme.”
The writer of this article happened!
to drop into the city the night pre-'
vious and remained there until tht
morning of the 17th. We met din
ing our visit Col. Styles, of the A1
bany News, Mr. Anderson, of thy
Covington Star, Mr. Speer, of th< |
Griffin News, Mr. Hawkins, of tht |
Covington Enterprise , and Mr. Me ;
Michael, of the Bartlesville Gazette i
What the object of their visit to At
lanta was, we did not learn. If thev
were forming a “syndicate” against
Gov. Smith, we were certainly not in
their secret. We had but little to
say to them about politics, and that
was to induce them to come out iU-
Johnson. All of them said we could
get no better man for Governor, but
did not commit themselves to an;-
one. except Styles, and he said
he was for Colquitt, anyhow
The truth is, we found no editor pre
pared to rise to the importance of
the occasion, and see that Gov. John
son was the best man to nominate.
Speer and Hawkins promised to give
Uov. Johnson a showing in their col
umns, and that was the extent of all
the “syndicate” we met up with.
Whaf the other gentlemen of the
press in Atlanta did, we know not.
They may have formed a “syndi
cate” after they got out of our sight;
they could have formed no combi
nation in our presence very harmo
niously, except for Johnson ns the
people's candidate for Governor. If
they had met for the purpose of tie
vising means to heat Smith and third
termism, we could .have told them
j very candidly how they could he ac
complished with but little if any
difficulty, and nothing would have
pleased us better than to have “syn
dicated” those fellows on our line—
we mean tlie people’s line.
Now our idea is that the Constitu
tion has found a mare’s nest w'* Wwt
an **- ipj imagined “syn
dicate” is simply a aeiiin and a
snare, with which to gobble up very
unsuspecting young men and old
maids in politics. It is merely a
sensational ephemeral concatenation
of a disordered brain—the ghost that
I haunts certain recent combinations
! or a “syndicate” to re-nominate Gov.
Smith for a third term of which
the Constitution is to be the leading
organ—ihat paper having; already
indicated its preference for a third
term administration.
The oniy “syndicate” we hoard of
in Atlanta was that comprising the
interests of Gov. Smith, Ex-Governor
Brown, 11. I. Kimball, Esq., and
the Atlanta Constitution , and that
may he just about as probable as that
which the Constitution discovered on
the Kith.
Hon. Hersetiel V. Johnson, whether he de
sires it or not, is preseiiunl to the people by
several presses of the State atid in any commu
nications as’ the lit ami proper in in to. the
next Governor. Amid the conflicting desires
ol the Iriemls of Governor Smith, ii a tide m an,
Colquitt and James, ex Governor Johnson
stands no small chnce lor it nomination ms it
compromise candidate.— Rome Commercial.
If the people were only convinced
that Mr. Johnson would accept there
is no man in the field who could
heat him; and if we could get the I
press of the State to say that he
would accept the office if tendered
by the people, without any “man-!
agement” of bis own, there is no
power on earth to defeat him. But
the press, generally, dare not say so, j
because they are so bound up in their |
pets. The politicians and ofiice-
afraid of Johnson, !e
--eonfidence of the people. If the
Rome Commercial not been an:
independent paper, the above para- j
graph would not have appeared in i
its columns. The papers, generally, j
are afraid to say that there is a large
element of the public who are look
ing to Johnson as the only man who
can lift tie gubernatorial question
out of a disgracefu 1 scramble.
We have no desire to be captious,
! but we are tired of looking to papers
j outside of this Congressional district
| for the official notices of the Demo-
I cratic Executive Committe. It is
doe to the press of the district that
all official notices should be first
made in a paper published in the
district. They are properly the or
gans of the Democratic parly in the
district, and every consideration of
propriety, justice and respect to them
and the people would seem ;to
carry the idea that such publications
should first appear in them. If the
committee finds its organs outside o f
the district, we suggest that they
hold their meetings in Atlanta as
near their organ as possible- If we
have an Executive Committee in
this Congressional district, we hope
it will hereafter confine the scope of
its duties within the district.
In the House of Representatives
on Monday last, Mr. Atkins moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill
repealing all provisions of the act
of January 14th 1875, for the resump
tion of speie payments tulat author
izes the Secretary of the Treasury to
redeem and cancel United States
bonds for the accomplishment of that
purpose. The vote stood yeas, 109;

Mr. Johnson is one of those men who

where he can do the most good ; and
he will so serve them if they desire
it. Now let the true and honest peo

We did not get the name of “the

leave 5 us at liberty to give it. We
hope the statement, however, is un
true, and that the people will be left
to determine themselves whom they
shall ‘j'-umort for Governor. It is
hoped the peopw V viil declare their
independence of political ire-pull
ers and act for themselves. It
about time they were taking politi
