OUR NEXT SENATOR.
Whether wisely or unwisely, it is the
settled policy of this district to pursue
t4ie Rotation System in the selection of
our Senators. When the lion. Rob’t
tlester was nominated, there was some
confusion us to which county was entitled
to the candidate, but it was conceded on
the occasion- to Elbert. After the expi
ration of his term* the nomination and
election of the lion. E. 11. Bullock gave
Madison comity her turn, and it was then
generally understood and acquiesced in
that the next Senator should come from
©glethorpo- It will be remembered that
the lion. Samuel Lumpkin, whose name
had been twice presented by the Ogle*
fihorpe delegation, declined to become a
candidate against Judge Bullock, and
thus entire harmony was restored in Uie
district.
We heard quite - a number of leading
and respectable gentlemen from all three
of the counties express the opinion that
in future there, would be no necessity for
a district convention, but the county
entitled would put forward her candidate,
and he would be supported by the entire
district.
Clearly, we think, our county is now
entitled to the Senator. Mr. Bullock’s
term, it is true, lias been reduced* if the
now Constitution is ratified, but so have
the-terms of the Judges of the Supreme
and Superior Courts, and of the members
of the House. It is not an unexpired
ternu It is the end of his official term,
and the people of Oglethorpe are in no
way responsible for it. It was the act of
the sovereign people of Georgia in con
vention assembled.
The loss, if it be so regarded, must fall
on-Mr. Bullock and on Madison county,
just as the losses fall on other officers
throughout the State.
Again v the term- of Senators has been
reduced to two years aud to one session.
Judge Bullock has served one full ses
sion* His successor will serve but one,
and therefore, to give another terra to
Madison couuty would be equivalent to
allowing her two terms to Elbert and
©glethorpa’s one each.
We feel sure that a very large number
of men iu Madison county itself will re
cognize aud admit the justice of this
claim, and that the people of Elbert- will
view it in the same light- that we do.
There seems to be an impression in the
minds of a few that Oglethorpe seeks to
antagonize the other two counties iu the
district. This is a mistake. We only
seek justice aud fairness, aud we believe
the good men of the entire district will
give it to us* In the late election for
delegates to the Convention, the Jlon.
W. W. Scott of Madison county ran
ahead of our own members in ihm county.
Iu regard to the two candidates from El
bert* a rumor was largely circulated that
Elbert sought to ruu in two men, and
litis caused- their names to bedropped by
a number of our voters. How that rumor
originated, wo do not know. We did not
believe it ourselves, but others did, and
there was not time left to correct it.
Hon. W. H, Mattox, we kuow, under
stood it, and was not offended. We as
sure the people of the district that our
geople are willing aud desirous of doing
right.. It is likely that our county will
put as a candidate for Senator
a gentleman whom all can unite in sup
porting.. We hope that, all differences in
the past will be buried and forgotten,
aud that in the future the utmost har
mony and good feelings will prevail.
