NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT:
HON. SAMUEL J. TILDEN,
OF NE W YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:
HON.THOS. A. HENDRICKS
OF INDIANA.
DEMOCRACY AND REFORM.
There is no doubt but what the
Democratic party of the country have
the best prospect of beating the Rad
ical party for President this year than
they have had in sixteen years, if we
may confide in the honesty and in
telligence of the masses. The nom
ination of Tilden is the best assur
ance that a reform in the administra
tion of the government will be the
result of Democratic success. He
brings into the campaign a prestige
as a reformer none can dispute or
gainsay. As the Governor of New
York he has demonstrated that he
haS the Drain and rrtrrwr
and carry out the most practical re
form. The civil department of the
State was costing the people of New
York annually about fifteen millions
of dollars. That amount he has re
duced to a little over eight millions.
He has exhibited the honesty and
will of Andrew Jackson in carrying
out all measures in his administra
tion as a reformer. Upon the other
hand Mr. Hendricks is one of the
best Democrats in the Union. He is
popular in the West and his name
gives great strength to the Demo
cratic ticket.
The expenditures in conducting the
Federal Government now amount to
the enormous sum of three hundred
millions of dollars, and that in time
of the most profound peace. Of
course much of this money is squan
dered and stolen by corrupt officials,
for partisan and selfish purposes. Of
fice-holders are growing rich while
the people are yearly growing poorer
and poorer and more oppressed. The
hundreds of thousands of able-bodied
men, skilled and unskilled artisans
and mechanics, and laborers gener
ally, who are now idle and unem
ployed, see that the time for relief to
depressed industry and enterprise
should come. If the prestige of Til
den as Governor of New York is any
argument we may expect that, with
him as President, the expenses of
the Federal Government may be re
duced to at least one-half, if not more.
Buchanan was severely condemned
for expending far less than one hun
dred millions of money. It is very
certain Mr. Tilden, with a popula
tion a little over forty millions will
not require over fifty per cent, more
in the administration of the govern
ment than Buchanan did.
One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars taken from the shoulders of
an overtaxed people will have the
effect of greatly lightening the bur
dens of taxation, and this thought
alone if fairly impressed on the pop
ular mind \vill!itself arouse great en
thusiasm for the Democratic ticket,
to say nothing of other eyils to be
removed through the agency of a
Democratic administration of reform
in the government mii
iions and unrequited labor struggling
for existence, it seems to us will rise
up like a tornado and strike from
power the men who have ruled only
to plunder and oppress a free people.
“Democracy and reform” should
be the watchword of every freeman
in this land. They should be sounded
in the ears of the people until they
understand its full meaning and im
port and be influenced to vote accord
ingly. “Democracy and reform”
should be inscribed on the banners of
the party everywhere and displayed
upon the outer walls of the citadel of
liberty, so that the people every
where shall rally to the cause of hon
est government and future prosper
tv
THE PRIMARY MEETINGS.
The primary meetings held so far
have exhibited but little interest
comparatively speaking, upon the
part of the people. So far as we have
observed, we have not noticed a sin
gle meeting voting as high as five
hundred. The truth is the people do
not take the interest they should in
politics, which they ieave to a few to
manipulate as they please. These, of
course, are generally those living in
the towns or in convenient distance
of them, and their friends.
A large majority of tiiese meetings
have been managed to the interest of
Gen. Colquitt, whose forces over the
State have been in process of organ
ization for four years. With four
years of labor, and as a representa
tive granger, a temperance man and
a prominent member of a strong
church, Gen. Colquitt would have
been indeed a weak man had he not
been able to have organized his forces
for effective work in the end.
In the case of Mr. Johnson he
makes a far better showing according
to time. In four weeks lie has se
cured quite a good show of delegates
and greatly alarmed the friends of
Colquitt. Indeed it may be said that
no set of men were ever more
alarmed than they have been.

In the list Appling will Have two

have two delegations, one for John
son.
To show the unfairness of Col
quitt’s friends ihe.y place Harris
county as only 2 tor Hardeman,
whereas she is entitled to 4 votes.
Of the remaining counties John
son will probably carry Bartow, 4;
Floyd, 4; Chattooga, 2; Richmond,
6; Elbert, 2; Lincoln, 2; Wilkes, 4
Green, 4; Hancock, 4; Glasscock, 2;
Burke, 16; Washington 4. Thiswill
make his full vote 60.
Mr. Hardeman will probably car

Pike 2, Pulaski 4, Taylor 2, Dooly A
Dodge 2, Telfair 2, Wilkinsoir 2,
Twiggs 2, Tatnali 2, Laurens 2;
making in all, 62.
A majority of the votes of the con
vention is 176. Give Colquitt one
half of the 76 votes unaccounted for
in the above estimate and he will
lack 24 votes of having the majority.
Give him the entire 76 votes and he
will lack 42 votes of having tne nec
essary two-thirds.
THE BUTTOCK. BONDS.
We understand Col. R. A. Alston
is to be a candidate for the Legisla
ture from DeKalb county. He is one
of Colquitt’s gromsmen. His views,
therefore, on the bond question are
significant. The following extracts
from a correspondence between Col.
Alston and H. I. Kimball will indi
cate the meaning of Col. Alston’s
candidacy for the Legislature. Read
the following :
Extract from a letter of 11. I Kim
ball to Col. R. A. Alston.
* * “I believe what you say and
feel that you are my friend.” “You
know that I think the policy of re
pudiation has been a curse to the
State.”
Extracts from a reply oi uoi. it. a.
Alston to H. I. Kimball: “I beg
leave to reply with the same frank
ness and to state to you that I am
fully iu accord with your views.”
* * * “Your return to Georgia and
the dignified good sense that charac
terized every movement you made
while you were here has done as
much if not more, than all else to
restore the equilibrium of public jus
tice. The cry of Bullock bonds and
fraudulent bond holders no longer
has proven to frighten. * * * It
is now generally conceded that these
bonds instead of being utterly repu
diated as they now are ought to have
a hearing but as yet nobody has
been bold enough who had any char
acter to lose to bell the cat. There
is only one way in which the matter
can be approached with any possible
hope of success and it is needless to
say that you are the only man living
that can do it. ****** *
P.S. lam solicited by quite a
number of my friends in this district
to run for Congress. I feel very sure
of being able to make the trip, but I
am undecided in view of the present
•Whether to make the effort for Con
gress, or whether I could not be of
more service to my State by going to
the Legislature.”
Isn t The Cartersville Express unneces
sarily bitter in some of its political para
graphs ? It seems to us that a preference for a
candidate can De expressed emphatically and
effectually without impugning the' motives
that lead other people to prefer someone else.
It may he that Tiie Express will have to sup
port General Colquitt for Governor.— Savannah
Xeu'B.
We do not know that we shall have
to support any man for Governor.
If Mr. Johnson should be nominated
by any trick or scheme dishonorable,
we should not support him. While
we are loyal to party organization on
proper principles, we do not intend
to be a slave to that organization
after it has ceased to fairly express
the pbpular will.
REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITOi..
There lias been said a great deal
about the return of the State capitol
to Milledgeville. Much of what is
said arises * more from predjudice
than otherwise. We did not vote
for the removal of the capitol from
Milledgville to Atlanta, nor did a
majority of the citizens of Atlanta
vote lor it.' We have never endorsed
the manner and means of the remov
al. It was a radical trick which we
never did nor never will approve
of, whether it reflected the will of
the people or not. For these reasons
we are willing that the removal of
the State capitol be submitted to
the people as a distinct question in
order that it may he for
ever settled, and that vve may hear
no more of it. No Georgian
who would see the will of the people
carried out, can ohject to a fair and
honest expression at the ballot-box
on this subject. For one we are will
ing that the subject may be so tested
and decided.
But, as an individual, we are in
favor, most decidedly, that the capi
tol shall remain where it is. We
should vote that way whenever the
test is to be made; and if the people
should decide differently we should
submit as gracefully and peacefully
as possible to the edict of the people.
AAiUeGp;villa is too much uU t OF tne
way for a State capitol, [and Atlanta
as a railroad point is the central focus
of the State. It is said, however,
there is too much corruption prac
ticed in Atlanta. In these days of
modern politics, when all measures
are carried by strategy and chicaney
legislation in Atlanta is no more
subject to such conti ugenceies
than it would be in Milledegville or
any other town or city in Georgia.
The so called “progressive ideas of
the present generation” would reach
Milledgeville as effectively as it
would Atlanta, and we could ex
pect no diminution of corruption by
a removal of the capitol back to
Milledgeville.
The capitol of a State should al
ways be near the central focus—upon
the high road of rapid intelligence—
where the people are more apt to
congregate and exchange views on
the public questions of the day—es
pecially in these times when trick
ery and demagogueism are the requi
site for political success. Such
schemes are more easily detected at
j such a place as Atlanta than they
| would be in any out-of-the-way place
like Milledgeville. More people go
| to Atlanta and always will, and
where “the people most do congre
gate” there we must understand that
the schemes of dishonest men may be
more readily discovered.
In conclusion, we have this to say:
While we are always willing to sub
mit to the voice of the people when
fairly expressed, we are willing the
people shall be heard in regard to the
removal of the capitol. If they pre
fer Milledgeville, then vve shall he
content; if they prefer Atlanta, we
rill it! Ibe gicvtisd. VV r c ..ly
that this capitol question may be
settled and kept out of politics.
.OBJECTIONS AGAINST COLQUITT.
That there is a ring established to
put Colquitt in office in defiance of
popular will is apparent. Why the
tirade against the “circular letter”
addressed to Gov. Johnson, and why
the frantic appeals to him to with
dmsv V*
It is a little singular that 11. I.
Kimball should announce himself
for Colquitt; that Alston, Grady,
Styles and ail others who seem fa
vorable to the payment of the illegal
bonds should be so persistent in his
behalf. Hunt up the investigation
of the State road lease and read Kim
ball and Alston’s letter to one an
other.
It is pertinent to enquire if it as
true that Gen. Colquitt promised
Gov, Smith not to appoint certain
men to office, and if upon that prom
ise Gov. Smith has not used ail his
influence in Colquitt’s favor, All
his appointees are certainly in favor
of Colquitt.
Gen. Gordon, J; W. Murphy, the
assistant treasurer of the State, Jos.
■Ci* -Diu W 11, cell iuicvcoiod if) the IgHSG
of convicts ju*t obtained, are all Col
quitt men. It would seem that the
Kirkwood mutual admiration so
ciety are to divide out the State, con
victs and all. Is not one of delegates
from DeKalb to be Solicitor General ?
The present canvass will result in
this: Colquitt is put forward as the
chosen successor of Gov. Smith to
keep his pets in officeas far as possible
and give place to the Kirkwood mu
tual admiration society, and to up
hold Atlanta. If he is nominated by
a bare majority an independent candi
date will be run and elected, and there
will come up an overwhelming de
mand from the people for a constitu
tional convention to change the con
stitution and lop off the great and
increasing power of the Governo
Colquitt has been galvanized by
the pow r er of the executive. If he is
elected what is to liinuer him from
doing the same thing by someone
he chooses as his successor?
Let the people determine the mat
ter, and if the convention does not
carry out the will of the people an
appeal to them at the ballot-box may
be made.
A Kentucky lady writing to us
says:
“I should not trouble you with any more
words I suppose, but I would like to tell you
how muck I appreciate your valuable paper,
and your earnest endeavors to advance the in
terests of your town and county. I consider
it an honor to thc State in general , and
Cartersvillc in particular , and lam also
glad to tell you that I think after a while, I
cau get you some good subscribers from this
place. A great many here read my paper,
and all who do say that it is every wny equal
to the Courier ■Journal. I say this to you
because I wanted you to know that you are
appreciated here , as well as elsewhere.”
While we do not protend to be any
thing like the Courier-Journal , we
nevertheless feel pleased to learn of
such enthusiastic 'comments iu praise
of Tiie Express
THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
The contest for the gubernatorial
nomination which has been pretty
hot for nearly four years will soon
be ended. In these four years Gen.
Colquitt, Col. Hardeman and Mr.
James have been conspieiously be
fore the Democratic party for the
coveted distinction, and present indi
cations point to Gen. Colquitt as the
winning man and, the result has
proven that his friends have been
most effective in their organization
and operations. Col. Hardeman
comes next in the number of his sup
porters ; and although he and his
friends have been active and persist
ent, they have lagged far behind
Colquitt and his friends. Mr. James
has, at this writing succeeded in se
curing tne delegation from one coun
ty which was won in a hard contest
with Colquitt for Fulton, in which
struggle money nor effort were spared
upon either side to win the victory.
Th is con test, we repeat,with mortifica
iton has been going on for four years, a
precedent in political aspiration and
effort for a nomination never before
known in the history of Georgia.
This contest of four years for a
nomination, in which time the par
ticipants under all sorts of pretexts,
have traversed nearly theentireState
presents to the people of Georgia a
preceecient in n poHtioai <M-ramble
we hoped might be rebuked at the
ballot-box and set aside with indig
nation as a specie of partisan candi
dacy they could not endorse or toler
ate, and as having a baneful effect
upon the political morals of the
young men of the country. The
effect of this long candidacy has re
sulted in considerable bitterness of
feeling* in 'the Democratic ranks,
which has become sufficienty obsti
nate to render a cordial support to
either of the gentlemen who may be
nominated almost impossible. These
antagonistic elements in the party
may eventuate in the distinction or
division of the Democratic forces
and finally end in the defeat of
the party in the future by increased
contention engendered and encour
aged hv the successful scramble of
either of these gubernators.
If Colquitt, Hardeman or James
shall be nominated, we may expect
that in less than ninety days after
inauguration there will be a half
a dozen candidates for Governor
out on the tramp over the
State. In the better and purer days
of Georgia, no man could have been
nominated for any office who made
any effort in advance to secure a
nomination cf any importance. It
is this thing we wish to see the peo
ple of Georgia rebuke.
GRAND DAY IN GEORGIA.
Some editors, as well as other men,
have no fixed principles nor well
defined ideas. The Savannah News
says:
In April Col. Raudall, of the Augusta Con
stitutitutionalist, said it would lie a grand
day for Georgia were Herschell V. Johnson
made Governor, ajiJjiow lie thijiks the day
wouldn’t be altogether so grand. But godtf*
ness gracious! if an editor is to be allowed no
latitude for eloquence, the country might as
well collapse.
The tone and course of the Constitu
tionalist is just to the contrary with
the above paragraph. It thinks it
would he a bad thing for Mr. John
son to be Governor now. We thought
Randall a man of more decided
ojiinion, but we regret our mistake.
What reliance can he placed in the
opinions of ?i newspaper that can
tackle around in so short a time. We
know of another editor who was of
similar of inion, but now iie is for
Colquitt. We regret to say it, but
the political utterances of some men
are not worth tiie paper they are
written on.
Rev 7 . Col. Samuel Bard, M. D., L.
L. D., D. I). S., ex-postmaster, and
once the chief of the Idahoes, and
now editor of the ?dobile Campaign
Globe , after carefully considering the
national platform, has decided it to
be his duty to the South, as well as
the whole country, to sustain Tilden
and Hendricks in his paper and on
the stump.
There has been a great deal said
about the Atlanta primary election.
a onrofui survey of the field of con
flict, and from conversations with
the bar men of the city, we learn that
the friends of Colquitt and Jatnes re
spectively vied with each other in
the expenditure of ready cash for pa
triotic whisky wherewith to enthuse
the voters.
Nothwithstandiiig the Democracy
of Mclntosh county, in their recent
meeting, sustained a uaiioju “that
the delegates go to the convention
uninstructed,” the Atlanta Constitu
tion couuts it two for Colquitt. Rut
| this is about the way the Colquitt
movement has beeu conducted all the
while.
The Colquitt men, just now, are
exceedingly concerned about the rep
utation of H. V. Johnson, They are
very anxious for him to retire from
the gubernatorial race—and that, too,
in the face of the fact that they are
certain of Colquitt’s nomination.
The negro Haywood Grant, who is
to be bung in Rome to-morrow, con
fesses to the killing of four men and
burning half a dozen -houses. He
burnt the store at Plainville several
months ago.
Gen, Colquitt is not nominated
yet, nor is it certain he will be. He
has not over seventy-five delegates
instructed for him, and it required
170 for a majority.
If Colquitt is going to be nomina
ted any how, as his over-zealous
friends claims, why is it they are so
anxious for Johnson to retire?
What has become of the State agri
cultural society? Was it for the
want of funds that a fair could not be
held this year?
r I he members of the Kirkwood mu
tual admiration society are jubilant
just now.
THE ATLANTA SUNDAY TELEGRAM
After a brief existence, it seems
that this crisp and readable paper
has succumbed to the evitable—gone
the way of many good papers that
have not been appreciated. 11. W.
Grady, its editor, is a young man of
trap.-Cendant genius. Ills writings
are vived, picturesque and pleasing.
We have always read his produc
tions with a peculiar interest even
when we disagreed with the views
and opinions advanced. The Tele
gram was a paper that would have
filled an important niche in Geor
gia journalism and would have added
much spirit of our State press. We
are only sorry, notwithstanding our
many disagreements with Grady
that his paper lias ceased its exis
tence.
A natural inquiry comes up why
is Ex-Gov. Brown so anxious to pull
Governor Johnson down and put
Colquitt in !
Why can’t we have a State fair
this year? What’s the matter, farm
ers of Georgia ?
