The Republican Convention of “the Em
pire State of the Kouth”--The Colored
Man on Top!
Georgia maintains her position as “the j
Empire State of the South." This exalted
term was accorded to her, by general con
sent, thirty years ago. It was won bv the
pluck, common sense and practical turn
of her people. General Washington said
long before than,that they were “a contrary
and obdurate people,’’ because even his
great name and influence, while President
of the United States, could not bend them
to change their views in dealing with the
Indians within their boundaries. Since
that time they have held to tlieir indomi
table characteristics in all the affairs of
life, and we are now peculiarly pleased to
see that the colored people of the State, as
well as their white predecessors, influ
enced by peculiarities of location and cir
cumstances, which it would require too
much space to explain here, are deter
mined to assert their claims in the party
to which they belong. We refer to the
action of the late Repulican Convention
at Atlanta. Heretofore it lias been the
custom of the white gentlemen, who be
long to that party to indicate its policy,
and cuff'ee, in grateful recognition of their
services in first freeing him and then in
elevating him to an equal position, social
and political, with themselves, has been a
willing subscriber to tlieir dictates. But
cuffee has suddenly undergone a change,
lie has thrown off' his allegiance and in
formed his whilom friends,that he no lon
ger needs their services, and that being in
the majority, hereafter he proposes not
only to do the voting but to enjoy tlie offi
ces. We can imagine the great trial, which
tlio white gentlemen of refinement, cul
ture, and olfactory sensibilities, such as
we know some of them to possess, under
went in the badly ventilated legislative
hall at Atlanta, in close contact with sev
eral hundred roaring and perspiring
“American citizens of African descent.”
But their physical sufferings, great as they
must have been, can bear no comparison
to tlieir mental humiliation, in the re
flection, that after being subjected to the
most intolerable insolence from the
mouths of their colored confreres, all of
their sacrifices, whether for the sake of
office or conviction, have been for naught.
The colored gentlemen in the late Repub
lican Convention at Atlanta, liavo drawn
“tlie color line” as rigorously as the most
ancient bourbon Democrat of the dead re
gime could have done. The modern Dem
ocrat, therefore, may be pardoned an
irrepressible, but good humored smile, in
contemplating the picture of the philan
thropic (purely philanthropic, white gen
tlemen) white gentlemen, Northern and
Southern, who have been down on their
knees for lo! theso fifteen years before the
colored idol, being thus summarily and
ruthlessly dealt with by their offended
Diety. These are hard lines, for our
friends, whose names we will not mention,
but perhaps even these arenot the hardest;
for when they go amongst tlieir brethren
of the same political persuasion at the
North (even the Northern part of these
white Georgia Republican gentlemen, and
tell them of their trials and calamities in
dealing with “the man and brother,” the
average Republican gentleman of the
North, who has never been South, will not
believe a word they say and will flatly tell
them so. What is the use of inveighing
against a “solid South” when this amount
of intolerance, bigotry, prejudice and un
belief prevails amongst the otherwise fair
and intelligent Republican lunsses of the
North !
It is reported that both the South Caro
lina Senators and one from Georgia (Sen
ator Gordon) are opposed to the unseat
ing of Kellogg. If this be true, it will be
very hard for these threo Senators to con
vince the people that thare is not a little
secret history connected with the seating
of Kellogg which controls them in the mat
ter. We are inclined to believe that
there has been bargaining in this matter,
and would be glad to know the whole
truth.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
Anew and curious case of death from
poisoning has occurred in Philadelphia.
A young woman who wore colored stock
ings and shoes with copper nails, had her
heel punctured by one of the latter. In
flamation immediately set in, and in a few
days she died. Physicians do not know
whether to attribute the poisoning to the
stocking or to the nail, or to both.
The Americas Republican says: “We
believe that the Hon. Rufus E. Lester can
roll up a larger majority in Georgia, and
more effectually unite the Democratic par
ty then any other man now mentioned for
Governor. Being a youug man he will re
ceive the enthusiastic support of all the
men of the State.”
When the Czarina of alighted
from the railway car which took her from
St. Petersburg, on her return from her last
journey to Italy, she exclaimed, “Alas ! I
have done with travelling. Farewell rail
roads; farewell coaches and locomotives.
My next conveyance will be the hearse.”
11. P. Farrow has been appointed Uni
ted States Attorney by Justice Bradley of
the Supreme Court there being a vacan

previous commission expired on the 19th
of this month.

After wrangling a whole week the Rad- j
ical Convention has adjourned, after elect
ing the following delegates to the Chica- j
go Convention: State at large—E. C. Wade, i
white; W. A. Pledger, colored; J. F. Long, j
colored; E. Belcher, colored. First Con

Floyd Snelson, colored. Second Congres

colored. Fourth Congressional District—
R. D. Lock, white; J. C. Beall, colored.
Fifth Congressional District —A. E. Buck,
white; 11. A. Hucker, colored. Sixth C'on

Eighth Congressional District— C. H.

Ninth Congressional District—S. A. Dar
nell, white; Madison Davis, colored. The
delegation is composed 14 negroes and 8
white men. It is about equally divided
between Grant, Sherman and Blaine.
Gen. Garfield predicts that the Demo
crats will nominate Judge Field and adds:
“In the first place, he was an out-and-out
war Democrat. Although of a Democratic
family, they were all Union men, and no
one more so than he. The cry of Copper
head cannot be raised against him. As
soon as the war was over he took a Dem
ocratic position, and has almost uniformly
written a dissenting opinion against the
majority of the Supreme Court in favor of
State rights and limited Federal powers.
Then, he has been sound on the currency.
He took position for resumption, and
maintained it throughout. The fact that
Mr. Lincoln placed him on the Supreme
Bench is a testimonial of his purity o£
character and knowledge of the law.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta News says: “It is said here by
some politicians who are interested in
Georgia affairs that Gov. Colquitt’s only
chance for re-election is to ‘burst up’ the
convention when it assembles, thereby
pulling off the bridle and giving every
nag the freedom of the pasture, as it were.
This rumor may have given rise to the re
port that Gov. Colquitt will run as an in
dependent should the convention fail to
nominate him. We shall see. Among all
the Georgians here, Mr. Rufus E. Lester,
of Savannah, is considered the coming
man. He is the embodiment of the spirit
of the young Democracy of the state, and
my word for it-well, look out for Lester!”
The baby elephant made his debut on
Monday in the circus now exhibiting in
Philadelphia. Ilehe, the mother, walked
slowly around the ring, with her baby
trotting along between her fore legs, Hebe
seemed anxious to keep the young one
close to her, and occasionally pushed him
back when be seemed to be eager to go
whead. When Hebe came to a halt, the
baby ran out and gazed curiously around
at the crowded seats, and raised his trunk
in the air. After gazing a few moments,
without the slightest fear at the strange
sight, the baby returned to his favorite
position.
The Cincinnati Commercial does not
weaken in its opposition to Grant, as the
following extracts from its editorial page
show: “If there Is a third term candidate
there will be a third candidate.” “If the
Republican party has nothing better to of
fer the country than a third term of Grant,
it is high time the party was resolved into
its original elements.” “If the Presidency
is a perquisite of the ex-President, and
country is a pocket piece of Conkling, the
war didn’t help our political situa
tion much."
A Louisville woman bought some Louis
ville and Nashville stock at 28. It ad
vanced to 41, and she desired to sell, but
she had mislaid the certificate and could
not find it. The price kept on rising un
til it reached one hundred. She employ
ed a lawyer to try and obtain a now cer
tificate, but the proceedings were delayed.
At length she found the document, just as
the stock was quoted at 141, at which fig
ure she sold.
Responding to a letter signed by a large
number of representative citizens of Hous
ton county, asking him to become a can
didate for Governor, Col. Thomas Harde
man, of Macon, says that while he will
make no personal effort to secure the nom
ination, he would not feel justified in de
clining such an honor. Col. Hardeman’s
letter is a vigorous and manly document.
We endorse the following from the At
lanta Constitution. It says: “The Val
dosta Times has entered upon its four
teenth year. During that period Editor
Pendleton has won two large victories.
He has succeeded in publishing a good
paper, and he has married. This looks
like success and it is success.”
The Louisville Courier-Journal makes
the Republican Presidential score so far
stand as follows: Total delegates appoint
ed 336, of which Grant has 211; Biaine 80:
Sherman 2; Edmunds 40; Washburne 8,
with 30 States to be hoard from. Grant’s
I opponents may as well close the polls and
■ give in. It's no race.

The Brunswick Appeal says: “Will Col.

A San Francisco dispatch from Lost An-1

lector from Fulton county, Georgia, whose !
case has been before the Superior and Su
preme Courts for seveal weeks on a writ of
habeas corpus, committed suicide in his
cell on the 22 inst. by shooting himself in
the presence of the guard and Mr. Collins, j
agent of the State of Georgia. How he ob
tained the weapon is unknown.
The following is from the Atlanta Pho
nograph: “While traveling through sev
eral counties in the northeastern portion
of the State last week we found many
of the best people who would cordially
support Col. Lester, of Savannah, in the
Gubernatorial race. In Oglethorpe coun
ty the people were all for Reese, but learn
ing that he would not enter the race, they
will vote almost solid for Lester.”
The Thomasville Enterprise says: The
Dalton Citizen tells of the many public of
fices which Gen. Gartrell has held—about a
dozen or more. Well, we think the Gen
eral has enjoyed enough of empty honors,
and we are willing to excuse him. The of
fice of Governor is not one of profit at the
present salary—it is only desirable for the
honor— and we think Gen. Gartrell can af
ford to do without, if his friend, the Citi
zen, has not made out a true bill.
The Dawson Journal adds its voice in
the support of the Lester boom. It says:
“We take it to be a healthy and hopeful
sign when the people,of their own accord,
begin to talk about the character of Kufus
E. Lester for the highest place within their
gift. He is not a politician, an office seek
er or a ringmaster, but when placed in of
fice by the people, he has gone right on
I straight forward, in a faithful, fearless, and
| conscientious discharge of duty.”
THE LESTES BOOM.
It Beaches AH Section*.
Th ' Lester boom floats high in the South
Georgia. Since bin name was prominent
ly placed before the people by his friends,
about two or three weeks ago, the current
of public feeling has set decidedly in liis
favor, and it looks now as if he is eminent
ly the choice of south and east Georgia for
the governorship. Locally, we And that he
has mam friends among the readers of
the Journal. We take it to be a healthy
and hopeful sign when the people, of
their own accord, begin to talk about men
of tlic character of Rufus E. Lester for the
highest place within their gift. He is not
a politician, an ofllce-soeker or a ringmas
ter, but when placed in office by the peo
ple, he has gone right on, straight for
ward in a faithful, fearless and conscien
tious discharge of duty. Then, while we
await patience, for an authoritative ex
pression of the will of Democracy of the
state, through conventions soon to he held,
we are gratified at the favorable reception
the mention of the name of Lester in these
columns has received from our readers.
We honestly and conscientiously believe
.Hiat a better man for the next governor
slß|) could not be found. His politi
cal course has been straight and true: his
moral character is good, and his abilties
are equal to&fhe requirements oMsie posi
tion. While we are no stickler for locali
ties and sections, so to speak, but are in
favor, always, of taking the best man fox-
office, wherever he may be found, we may
say in this connection, that southeastern
part of the state has not had office of
governor for 'along time, —say about 40
years; and without that time has had hut
few of the other important offices of the
state Savanah is eminently a commercial
city. She does not scramble and pull
and haul for office like some other cities
we might mention. If there is anything
in locality, that section of the state is now
certainly entiled to consideration.— Daw
son Journal.
We have noticed that many of our ex
changes have come out in favor of Hon.
Rufus E. Lester for Governor, during the
past week. We are glad to see it and
would like very much to see the matter
pushed to the extent of nominating him.
We know- of no man whose name has been
mentioned in this connection that we
would sooner have nominated and elected
than Rufus E. Lester. He has been for
several years a prominent man in this
State, and has filled every position to
which he lias been called with perfect sat
isfaction to those who elected him. Asa
Senator and as President of the Senate,
he has won a state wide reputation. Mr.
Lester is a man of sterling interigrity, of
fine ability and of pleasing address, and
in him Georgia would have a Governor of
who all might lie proud. We trust that
our peoplo will select him as their choice, in
nominating convention.— Thomasvlle
Enterprise.
Col. Lester has served liis county long
and faithfully in the Legislative halls of
our State, and most certainly his valiant
service in behalf of the Democrats of Geor
gia entiles him to some distinction at the
hands of his fellow-citizens. Ho is a true
and tried Democrat, and has clearly shown
himself a man_ of fine executive ability
and one thoroughly able to take charge of
the affaire of the State. Let this portion
of the State now elect the Governor us the
other portions have hitherto held unto
themselves that honor, and surely “turn
about is fair play.” Now we present the
name of Col. Lester to the people of the
State, and say unto them, “here a is tru;
man, one who will grace the Gubernatorial
chair with dignity and honor, Will you
take him, or shall we again he placed un
der the dominion of a man under whose
administration there has been more fraud
perpetrated upon the State of Georgia
than any Governor with whom we are fami
liar?” It is for you todocide, friends.—
