DUTIES OF THE HOUR.
As Defined by the Democratic
State Executive Committee.
To the Democrats of Georgia:
The present peculiar condition of
j the political contest now being waged
! in the state would seem to justify a
j clear and succinct enumeration of
| the living issues which require the
i continuance of democratic'control,
i This condition is peculiar in this.
J that history it presents for Georgia the first complete time in
I the of a
coalition, or radical and independent
ticket, as opposed to the regular
nominees of the democratic party,
Heretofore independent candidates
have sprung up in two congressional
districts, and in a few of the counties
in contests for the legislature. But
never before has a thorough and de
termined effort been made to carry
the state by a combination between
radicals and disaffected democrats,
This unprecedented movement and
unholy alliance will be readily
ed, if the .people can but be aroused
from apparent apathy to the true
condition of affairs. The immense
majority by which the party in power
has always carried the elections since
j the state was redeemed from the
ruptions of reconstruction and the
radical regime, has led the individual
voter to assume that his personal
presence'at the polls was not a
cessity, and it would now seem that
when the standards of democracy
were not placed in the hands of can
didates of his choice, he is disposed
to inactivity, The apathy which
grows out of the prevalence of th ; s
erroneous idea, is manifested in a
disposition on the part of some, to
j | disregard the moral binding nominations, force
which attaches to party
j J ust so long as men t r as demo
I crats, to accord to the G minees of
; ^eir party a hearty and contscuous
, support, the hopes of the republicans
; will be fired to greater energy and
I more mu: dig efforts. The executive
,
, committee, fe-dir.g that a clear and
! concise statement of the true issues
j involved in the present campaign
! w ' 0i f g°.. far towards the c “f eC ”° n
j of the evils or apathy and dtsa ec
! tion at present existing, earnestly en
, treat your careful consideration of
the following views:
1 It ts immaterial to the organized
j Democracy whether the republicans
| fight under their own flag, or wheth
I er they assume the specious garb of
independents. Whence comes coali
tion independentism ? Independence
of action and of thought is to be
1 a d m i re d, unless based upon a con
j sideratio ’ n present or future.. If so
based, it becomes the most servile
j dependence, especially if such con
I ^deration is to be paid by the ene
j mies of the party to which the new
; born independent belonged. Offices
I are few and aspirants many. The
democratic party is unable to place
in the posts of honor all of its
rents, however capable they may be.
j B t when the claims of one G f PUC h
such candidates have been rejected,
there may be a prospect of success
with the assistance of the large col-
1 ored vote amongst us, if he runs un
i der sonie other name than democrat,
I To this vote he appeals, and is chris
tened in water anything else thin ho
ly, as the “independent democrat.”
With seemingly plausible arguments
as to the unfairness of party conven
j tions, he carries with him a few d;s
I affected brothers and appeals to the
i radical partv. composed in this state
1 almost exclusively of negroes, to ele
j vale him into office. The independ
‘ ent in the twinkling of an eye be
; comes the dependent on radicals,
'lhe consideration he is to be paid is
office and spoils ; the consideration
! they are to receive is increased ra li
I cal strength and decreased democra*:
j ic harmony and unity. If the coal:
1 ;q on i s successful, there can fig b it
one result—radical rule in Georgia.
So many years of prosperity have
intervened since the dark days of
reconstruction and republican Sll
premacy, that it may be well to sen
• ously contemplate what is the natural
and necessary result of radical rule
HAMILTON, GA., SEPTLMBER 15, 1882.
m this state. It means negro su¬
premacy wherever that race has a
majority of votes. It means riegro
supremacy, or, if it be possible to
contemplate a deeper degradation in
a condition so fallen, something more,
where the negroes, combined with
the disaffected whites, have control.
The simplicity of the average colored
voter, together with his innate gen
tleness and good nature, render him
comparatively harmless when left to
himself, but when aroused by the
manipulation of designing persons
and urged on by the greed of power
and gain, a more dangerous element
in our political fabric can hardly be
conceived.
There are but two parties in Geor
gia—the democratic and the radical
He who does not belong to the one
necessarily attaches himself to the
other, and if he wears the disguise of
the independent coalition
he simply becomes the more■ insidi
ous in his attacks upon the instituti
ons of the state. A conspirator in
the camp is always more to be fear
ed than the enemy upon the open
held. The radical party in Georgia
looks alone to the negro vote for
support, and to the administration at
Washington, its most corrupt branch,
for supplies. Ted from such a source
that has turned the White House hi
to a New Aork po..t;cal trading
bopth. what must be the growth ?
1 he inactive or apathetic democrat,
i however sound Ins course may appear
to him, unintentionally adds to the
power of radical sm in the exact pro
portion that he decrease.; the strength

ble means. There is no way so cer
tain, by these vital interests may be
successfully protected and fostered,as
by the administration of the govern¬
ment at the hands of those whom the
Democratic party places in power.
And how can such an administration
be best secured?
The Republican party itself is the
perfection of discipline, however cor
rupt if may be in its methods. To
meet it successfully upon the political
battlefield, untrained legions must
not be sent. Able and honest
party leaders are necessary to organ
ization but wherever they fail in their
duty or act otherwise than the inter
ests of their State require, they should
be at once deposed.
This can be readily accomplished
within the party. Certainly the era
bracing of Radicalism, with its bos
s ism, personalism, rings and cliques,
cannot cure the evil. Instead of
disertion in the time of danger, pa
triotism would point to a closer affili
ation with the party. Organization
and combination for the interest of
the State must be fostered. Rings

Gordon was Senator and resigned,
and there is much greater reason
