which the third-term leaders will mark
out for him.
When Denis Kearney was registered ut
the San Francisco House of Correction he
said that he was a “drayman" and that he
was thirty-four years of age. He had $67
in his pocket, but was allowed to retain
nothing. He asked permission to move a
little coffee stove into his cell, but the
keeper would not hear to it. His hair was
not cropped, because it was already short.
He remarked that the striped suit felt
warm and comfortable, though the panta
taloons were too small. The San Francis
co papers say that Kearney could very eas
ily have paid his fine of SI,OOO, as ho is
worth $60,000.
General Grant was formally received at
the State House at Springfield Illinois, by
distinguished citzens. In the course of
his remarks he' said: “In my travels
through our country, I am happy to say,
I thought I saw signs of returning pros
perity in the section we were lately in con
flict with and with prosperity a returning
love for the flag that floats on this side of
that platform. [Applause.] That is what
we desire certainly, that there shall be no
Sectional strife; that shall be a substantial
Union Reeling in every section of the
oountry. and no matter ' hat v .

should nil feel that now re. .?• n:

Oar Democracy and the Lester Boom.
The Darien Gazette says it is under
“no obligations to the Democratic party.”
And it might have said “the Democratic
party” is under no obligations to the Ga
zette. Like Aleck Stephens that paper is
not hurt with Democracy —too much Fel
ton-Spcer-Independentism about its col
umns.
The Darien Gazette, which runs up
the namg of Rufus E. Lester for Governor,
says “the Lester boom reaches all sec
tions.” Jt has not reached North Georgia.
It is confined alone to a few wiregrass
counties.
We clip the above extracts from “The
North Georgia Citizen,” and reproduce
them here for a few words of comment.
We can afford to stand the criticism of tho
“Citizen,” on our Democracy. It is true
that wo are independent in the best sense
of that word, that is we are not bound to
any man, and if tbe Democratic party does
wrong we shall criticise its action without
hesitation, because by so doing wo render
it our best sendee, service infinitely above
t Hut of the fawning, crawling style of jour
nalism, that knows no right or wrong
except self-interest. We shall continue to
commend Messrs. Stephens, Felton and
Spoor, whenever they do anything that
merits with our approbation. In fact we
are not afraid to say a good word of a Re
publican when lie deserves it; but we have
worked hard all through our journalistic
life for tho advancement and success of
the Democratic party and never have voted
in our life for an “independent.” We sup
pose that our contemporary is unable to
reconcile our views from bis stand point
with good Democracy, but we believe that
there are many good and intelligent Demo
crats who approve them. The Citizen
shows its accurate knowledge of the geo
graphy of its nativo State in classing tlio
seaboard comities amongst the wiregrass
iu its statement that “the Lestor boom
is confined alone to a few wiregrass coun
ties.” But why this sarcastic fling at the
wiregrass counties? There are no better
people iu Georgia than those who inhabit
tho wiregrass region and Mr. Lester is
fortunate in having them amongst his
earnest and enthusiastic supporters, but
if the vision of tho Citizen was not bound
ed by tho hills of Dalton, it could readily
see that the Lester boom had not only
reached North Georgia, but bad already
spread over all the State. Or is it possi
ble that the vision -of the Citizen bus be
come dimmed by its earnest gaze back at
the flesh pots of Egypt ? Mr. Lester has
shown himself the determined foe of the
lobby, which has a few, very few (to
the credit of North Georgia be it said)
promising recruits in tho neighborhood of
the Citizen’s residence. He was the vig
orous assailant of tho corruptions of the
Bullock regime,amongstjWliich were those
fat printing contracts, which if our mem
ory sorves us right used to appear in the
columns of the Citizon. It is now a fact,
not melancholly to the great mass of peo
ple, that those good old days of Bullock’s
time cannot come back to Georgia as long
as R. E. Lester occupies the Gubernatorial
chair.
Mr. Wm. L. Scott, an Erie, Pa., million
aire, is said to bo Mr. Tilden’s choice as
the Democratic candidate for tho Presi
dency, should he fail in securing the hon
or for himself. They are said to be inti
mate personal friends. The Philadelphia
Press delares that Mr. Scott is a strong
man. From an actual count wo have as
certained that Mr. Scott is, according to
the average rumor, the 700th man that
Mr. Tildcn has signified his willingness
to suppor for the Presidency. The ques
now that naturally arises is, who is Scott ?
For the benefit of the public we will
state that Mr Samuel J. Tilden has no
such choice for tho Presidency as is above
attributed to him, and all such reports are
false from beginning to end. Samuel J.
Tilden will be tho Democratic nominee,
which means that he will he our next
President. The Gazette announced Mr.
Tilden for its candidate the day after
Hayes was inaugurated in 1877, and it is
now for him first, last and all the time.
In the First Congressional District of
Florida the race will bo between two broth
ers next Fall. Hon. 11. H. M. Davidson,
Democrat and the present member of Con
gress, against Dr. J. E. A. Davidson, who
will no doubt be the Republican nominee.
Col. Bob Davidson the Democratic nominee
will be elected as he is one of the most
prominent men in Florida. Both of the
Davidson’s live in Quincy. Dr. Davidson
is at present Postmaster at that point.
Since the above was written we see that a
colored man has walked off with the Rad
ical nomination and so the contest as pre
dicted, will not be between the two David
sons.
An old letter in which Senator Thomas
11. Benton announced his marriage to iffs
friend, the late Judge Walsh, of St. Louis,
is still preserved in the latters family.
“Long before the drowsy and heedless
post-boy shall transport to you this
scrawl,’ writes young Benton, “your friend
Benedict will cease to belong to the order
of bachelors. Time, which puts an end to
everything, has now put an end to my
endless courtship, and in the month of
May I shall hope for the happiness of im
parting a part of my happiness to all my
friends in St. Louis, both male and fe
male, by presenting to them odc who is
everything to me,and I hope will be some
thing to them.”

THE LESTER BOOM.
The Georgia Governorship.
The Lester boom has broken over the
boundaries of the State and penetrated in
to the far Northwest. We copy the sub
joined extract from the Boonville Adver
tiser an influential Democratic paper of
the great State of Mississippi: Office seek
ing tho man is a thing so truly of
the past, that when we see an instance
of it, however, far away, we can’t but offer
our humble compliments to the man, as
well as congratulations to the constituents
and state, that in these times, has a son,
who in his modesty strengthens his merit
by waiting for an office to seek him, when,
were he of the stamp of the average ambi
tious politician of the day, ho would have
been seeking the office long before he had
proven to the people, that he is the man
they want and that it is to their interests
to elevate. There is an old saying that “mo
desty is to merit as shades to a picture;
giving it strength and beauty,” and this
idea is no where better illustrated than in
the case here alluded to, that of the prop
osition by tho friends of Hon. Rufus E.
Lester of Savannah, Ga, to elevate him to
the position of Governor of his State. Mr.
Lester, though comparatively a young
man, has proven to tho people of Georgia
his real worth and merit, having been for
some years one of their legislative body
and tor the term, tilling with dignity,
ability and faithful performance the next
highest office in their gift that of president
of the Senate —ex officio Lieut. Governor.
That Mr. Lester is an able, faith and fear
less advocate of what he thinks just and
right, no one will doubt who is at all ac
quainted with his services to the public as
State Senator and particularly in the im
peachment trials that Georgia has recently
passed through. Mr. Lester is man of in
domitable energy, iron will, unquestioned
ability and nerve to do what he believes
right and we feel like joining with tho
Georgians in saying hurrah for tho Lester
boom and let merit and worth take prece
dence over all others claims.
The Warrenton Clipper says: “We met
with Hon. Rufus E. Lester, of Savannah,
while in that city. He is possessed of
great social qualities. The people of that
that section are going to stand by him.
Wo believed that many preferred that
Gen. Lawton had been brought out, but
this preference will not amount to a spider
web in the way of Lester. There can be
no doubt that Lester will have a powerful
following throughout the State, owing to
Ids popularity among members of the
Legislature.”
The Big Dailies.
Mr. Editor: —In one of your recent is
sues you sailed into the Savannah Re
corder for inconsistency in advocating a
candidate for Governor of Georgia. lam
a reader of the Gazette and the Savannah
News, and such other large papers of the
State as I can get hold of. Now what is the
matter with the larger papers of the State?
and Avhy don't you sail into them ? They
are supposed to be the exponents of public
opinion on men and measures. In othe r
words to lead the masses. And yet we,
the public,have not got a word out of them
on the Gubernatorial question as “to men
or measures.” What is the matter ? Have
they retired from that place, and do they
propose to occupy themselves hereafter
with weakly diluted discussions of ques
tions on railroads and the federal adminis
tration. Are they going to admit in a
word or rather by silence, that state af
fairs are no longer worthy of considera
tion or discussion. On are they afraid to
take a stand in the discussion of state af
fairs because it may “hurt the paper.” I
want you to put this in your paper,because
I think it of practical interest both to the
papers and to the people of Georgia. If
the people are to get their ideas from them
selves or from the weeklies in the State its
all right, hut if they are to get them from
the dailies, from present appearances,they
will he monstrous slow in coming to a
conclusion. Notwithstanding your criti
cism on the Savannah Recorder. I want
to say that it is a good paper. I do not
know the man who runs it, but he mana
ges, whoever he may be, to make the best
selection of current literature, and his ed
itorials though perhaps rather antique
have about them the true ring af convic
tion and sense. Yours Respectfully,
Ancient Enquired.
Allen Thurman, Jr., a son of the Sena
tor’s says: “My fatliey wants none of the
complimentary business. He is going into
the Cincinnati Convention to make a
square fight, to eillrer win or loose. There
is no doubt that Tildon and Payne have
formed a combination to beat us,but I don't
think they will succeed. It is hardly fair.
It is just as father said when he was last
in Washington. No man in Ohio in either
party can rise in the State of national po
litical prominence about three feet three
without a number of envious members of
his party make an attempt to cut off his
legs.”
Hon. H. L. Muldrow, representative in
Congress from the first district of Missis
sippi, has written a letter declining to l>e
a candidate for re-election. Hon. Wal
bridge A. Field, from the third Massachu
setts district, also declines a re-election to
Congress. It is seldom now-a-days that
you here of such a thing as a congressman
declining a re-election. A good many of
them that are aspiring for re-election will
be left at home; we are satisfied of that.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says that a promi
nent member of Mr. Tilden’s New York
State Committee said the other day that
“bets could be taken for almost any
amount that Tilden will he nominated on
tl * fiivt ballot," and he authorized the use
. -a mi in cast Mr. Kelly or any of
, were disposed to accept the
Political Glimpses.
Tilden’s friends claim that ho haw al
ready ‘2OO delegates to start with, and more
coming.
Horatio Bissbee has been nominated for
Congress in tho second Florida district by
the Radicals.
The Augusta Chronicle says “some of
the Ohio politicians say it will be Tilden
and Thurmam.”
It looks as if Hon. Nat. J. Hammond
would be sent back to Congress from the
Atlanta District.
General Grant will be nominated on the
first ballot at Chicago. The 2d of next
month will tell the tale.
The campaign will open in earnest after
Congress adjourns and the members of
that body return to their homes.
Congress will probably adjourn on the
first of June. Speaker Randall says it
will and he ought to know all about it.
Rufus E. Lester is gaining strength
throughout the State and we now believe
that he will he the next Governor of Geor
gia.
The Democrats of Bartow county should
club together and send Charles Id. Smith,
(Bill Arp), to the Georgia Legislature.
William would stir up the animals.
If Mr. Tilden gets the Democratic nom
ination he will carry every Southern State,
notwithstanding the reports to the con
trarv. The South will support the nomi
nee and don't you forget it.
Mat Carpenter says that Grant will have
more than half of the Wisconsin delega
tion. He also thinks that Grant will carry
some of tho Southern States, to-wit: Ar
kansas, Texas, Tennessee,North and South
Carolina.
Samuel J. Tilden will be the next Presi
dent of these United States. Tho indica
tions now all point that way. Tilden was
sold out by the Democrats in 1877 and the
people demand that that v.'rong shall be
righted in 1880.
The Democratic Convention of Twiggs
county, on Saturday appointed delegates
to the State Gubernatorial convention.
The convention was unanimous for Col
quitt, and selected a Colquitt delegation
to the Democratic nominating convention
in August.
Hon. Emory Speer, the brilliant young
member of the Ninth Georgia District,pre
sided over the House of Representatives
at one of its night’s sessions last woek, as
Speaker pro tern. It is said that it is the
first time that he or any other Georgia
member lias had the honor this session.
The Ohio delegation to the Cincinnati
Convention were instructed to vote for
Senator Thurman. They will vote for
him a few times and then thy will go over
n a body tojtlie Samuel J. Tilden column.
The Demorratic ticket will probably be:
For President—Samuel J. Tilden. For
Vice-President—Richard M. Bishop, of
Ohio.
The Richmond Dispatch says the peo
ple are looking to Mr. Seymour “as the
man who is to lead them in this last con
test for the maintainance of the principles
of the fathers of the Republic. He asks
them for nothing. They ask him to take
the highest office ia the world, Let his
name he called in the convention, and the
end will have been reached.”
Hon. John Cox, who formerly represent
ed the Fifth New York District in Con
gress, arrived in Washington a few days
ago. In a conversation lie said he thought
that Tilden would get the nomination if
he wanted it; there was no doubt about
that, he said. “Could Tilden carry New
York ?” he was asked. “He could. Against
Grant or Blaine, Tilden would carry the
State by 30,000 majority.”
Our good friend Blackburn, of the Mad
ison Madisonian, says that we have “sour
red upon the party.” We claim to be as
good a Democrat as lives and if you don’t
believe it why just write down to any
member of the party from the First Con
gressional District in regard to the matter.
Just here wo would state that our course
has been thoroughly endorsed by the
Democratic party of this section. The
Darien Gazette was never on a better foot
ing than new. No, brother Blackburn, we
havent soured on the party,but to the con
trary', we expect to deal some heavy blows
for its cause before the campaign is over.
The intelligent and well-posted corres
pondent ot the Atlanta Constitution tele
graphs that paper as follows: “The indi
cations are that Kellogg will not be un
seated. It is whispered that several Dem
ocrats will vote to let him retain his seat;
and in this connection the old statement
that Tilden was sold out by some Senators
is being revived. If there was a bargain
by which Kellogg was to retain his seat,
and the Democrats get control of Louis
iana and Florida, it will be pretty apt to
come up, for if Kellogg is turned out he
will tell allhe knows, and if the Democrats
kept him in. those Democrats ivho vote
that way, will be kept explaining.”
The Savannah Recorder suggests the
name of Gen. LaFayette McLaws, Post
master of that city, to succeed Judge Key,
in the event the President concludes to
appoint a Southern man to that office. The
Recorder concludes: “He would have in
him a sound and conservative man in his
cabinet, and one who would give him cor
rect ideas about the people of the South,
and who would display a sound common
sense in his actions and talk. There is a
solidity of thought about General McLaws
which makes him a fit and proper man as
as a fit and proper man as a good adviser
and executive officer. Let Mr. Hayes take
into consideration our suggestion.” The
Gazette endorses the suggestion.
Henry W. Grady has purchased two

The road laws in Georgia are unjust. The

away daily. A reform is needed in this
particular.
The Americus Republican says: We
believe that the Hon. Rufus E. Lester can
roll up a larger majority in Georgia, and
more effectually' unite the Democratic

for Governor. Being a young man he will
receive the enthusiastic support of all the
men of the State.
