could keep the tanks tilled, and we would
thus have an efficient, practical and cheap

Another reason is given why Gen. Gor¬
don should be elected goyernor, besides
his war record, andthat is he has the most
beautiful and lovely home in DeKalb
county. And it is located near Kirk
wood, too. His home organ, the DeKalb
Chronicle, has discovered this bit of ad¬
ditional testimony why he should be
seated in the big gubernatorial chair.—
And we may add very appropriately to
the foregoing that the general’s home has
a wind mill attachment to it, which may
add another feather to his claims for gu
bernatorial honors.

President Cleveland and Miss Frances Folsom,
of Buffalo, New York, will be united in marriage
to-day, at the presidential mansion, in Washing¬
ton City. Miss Folsom lias been in Europe for
some time, but arrived in New York last week.
Tlie marriage ceremony will be celebrated at the
White House, and will be the first one that ever
occurred in that house. It is said it will be a
very quiet and unostentatious affair, and that
only a few of the relatives and friends of Miss
Folsom and the president will be invited, which
will probably include the members of the cabinet
and their families. It will be a purely demo¬
cratic affair, and as a good and loyal subject, the
Star hopes they may be just as happy as any
other fellow and his liest girl, when they get
married. There is nothing small about the Star
—when it comes to wishing its friends much
happiness.

Covington is to have a street railroad
among her other contemplated improve¬
ments, at an early day. The enterpris¬
ing gentleman who is moving in the mat¬
ter, has ample means to carry the project
to success, and we have no doubt he will
meet with every encouragement from our
people. Covington must have a street
railroad, and the sooner the better.
Gen. Gordon says he is opposed to the
lease of the state road to the East Tenn¬
essee road, because that would put them
both under one management, and they
would no longer be competing lines. That
is all right as far as it goes, but he does
not say whether he is opposed ta the state
road being leased or sold to the Louisville
and Nashville road, or to an Atlanta syn¬
dicate. It would be interesting to a large
number of citizens of Georgia to hear his
views on this particular point.
Now is the time to subscribe for The Star

II the court house clique is for Gordon
it is all right, but if for Bacon it is all
wrong, and wants to muzzle the voice of
the people. That is about the way the
Constitution defines it.

primary election, on the 10 th of July, and vote
for the Bacon delegates to the gubernatorial con
vention. Let no man escape, but give all the
people a chance—to vote for Mr. Bacon.
The people all love and admire Gen.
Gordon for his splendid military record
during the war. No ohe desires to de

Mr. Bacon for governor.
Richmond county will select her dele¬
gates to the gubernatorial convention
next Friday. The delegates will be selec¬

the court house, and will no doubt be in

The Griffin News says the democratic
executive committee of that county will
meet at the ordinary’s office at 10 o’clock
next Saturday morning, to select delegates

give the people a chance.

Gen. Gordon started into the campaign flaunt¬
ing the Macon Telegraph in his hands, hut he
has since dropped it. We suppose this was he
cause he did not like its “plain talk” about his
attorneyship for the Louisville and Nashville
railroad This may be considered another reason
why Major Bacon should be our next gov¬
ernor. i
Georgia’s experience with military gov¬
ernors is rather hitler. The immortal

A dispatch from, Covington to tire C 011 -
stitiiiiou last Sunday stated in substance
that the true men of Newton county were
all for Gen. Gordon. YY’ell, we suppose
the sender of tlie dispatch has a right to
define what he means by “true men.” If
lie means all the Bacon men are untrue
to principle, he simply lies—under a mis¬
take.
A large ami activ e Bacon club has been
organized in Atlanta, and the campaign
will be partly conducted from that quar¬
ter. Atlanta may bo regarded as Gen,
Gordon’s home. There is no Gordon club
in Macon that we have heard of. This
may not amount to much, but it indicates
a verv great lack of “spontaneous enthus¬
iasm” for Gen. Gordon, and that he is not
riding on the tidal wave of popular es¬
teem he expected would sweep him into
the gubernatorial chair. He must fight
his way step by step to the coveted prize.
Judge A. C. McCalls, of Conyers, has
announced himself as candidate for the
State senate from this, the 27th sena¬
torial district, and says lie will be thank¬
ful for the votes ot his fellow citizens.
Gns McOalla is well known to the people
of Newtor. county and needs no introduc¬
tion from us. 11 c is well qualified to rep¬
resent this district in tlie state senate and
will handsomely illustrate his intelligent
constituents in that body. It has been
conceded that Rockdale county is untitled
to the senator this time, and if Judge Me
Calla is selected by his county, and pre¬
sented by it to the convention he will re¬
ceive tlie nomination without opposition
and be elected." YVe understand he will
be opposed in Rockdale by Hon. YY. L.
Peck, a gentleman who is also well known
to the people of this county. The choice
of Rockdale will be decided in that county
on Saturday, the 12th of June.
It is reported that Coweta county will
select her delegates to the gubernatorial
convention by primary election, and that
the vote will be consolidated by districts,
the candidate having the largest number
of districts to have the delegates without
regard to the number of votes polled in
the county. There are 13 districts, we be¬
lieve. in tlie county, and seven would be
a majority. That seems to us to be a very
unfair way of selecting delegates. To il¬
lustrate: One district might might poll 1,000
votes, and 800 of them be for Gor¬
don and200 for Bacon. The other 12 dis¬
tricts might poll 400 votes Bacon each, and 7 of
the districts might be for and 5 for
Gordon. The 7 districts might but each give
a bare him majority for Bacon, in the would not
give a majority fair county. fqr So it
would not be right or Bacon to
have the delegates under such circum¬
stances. Would it?
The engineer corps of the Covington
and Macon railroad are still engaged in
surveying different lines through
Covington, and we are not yet able to
learn which one of them different they will adopt.
Our preference of the lines sur¬
veyed is the one that comes in on the
east side of to wn, curves to the left, runs
down by the rear of the court house,
thence a little north of west by Mr. I. \V.
Brown’s residence, crosses the creek a
little lit-low the bridge, and intersects the
Georgia road above the Pioneer Machine
works We are sure this is the best route
for the convenience of the people here,
and would like to have it adopted. It
would lie a little more expensive, but it
would of lie vastl other better for Covington than
any the routes-

Politics brings about many sirange bed
fellows. Ex-Gov. Smith used to denounce

adjudged a fit subject for the asylum, where we
trust lie will soon be restored to his usual health

railroad authorities. Mr. Bryant was very
painfully injured in the accident, and was clearly

of July as the date for holding the gubernator¬

invitation was sent up from Augusta for holding
the convention in that city, but the committee
decided that Atlanta was the most accessible
point, and called the convention to meet in that
city. This was done in the interest of the peo
pie, and not in the interest of any particul ar can
