Grant, Blaine. Sherman.
It is lovely to contemplate the condition j
of affair* in tho Republican cam]). The I
three-sided fight between Grant, Blaine j
and Sherman, looks, from their respective j
adherents complimentary allusions to the. j
respective candidates and their records,
that they are calculated to provoke asmile
in the undegenerate Democratic camp.
We will whip them in this fight if Demo
crats do their duty. If Democrats con
clude not to do their duty and let the
Republicans triumph, wo hope they will
nominate Grant. We sink the period of
reconstruction, because it would tako too
much time to argue the matter here, and
we go hack to the record of that man on
“Lee’s Surrmder.” General Lee’s verdict
was just when he said that General Grant
was “magnanimous.” Wo invite our rea
ders to tho correspondence of these two
great men, in the death throes of the Con
federacy, to determine whether or not
General Lee was right. But, Democrats,
can’t we do now what General Lee so often
acomplished in the past, whip Grant ?
We are satisfied that we can whip Grant
if the Democrats do their duty.
We observed with pleasure on onr re
cent trip to Brunswick that notwithstand
ing the immediate presence of the Gover
nor, the strong men of Glynn are a unit
for Lester. We w r ere also gratified to learn
that Camden was solid for Lester. If Mr
Lester is nominated it will be on account
of his inherent worth. He seems to be
devoid of the ambition or desire of attend
ing public occasions. He is transacting
liis private affairs with provoking imper
turbability, just if there was no talk of
him for Governor. We have no doubt
than when elected he will take care of the
interests of the State in the same way.
Tbe'death of Sanford E. Church takes
from New York politics a very conspicu
ous figure. The Atlanta Constitution says:
“Judge Church has been a leader of men
for fully thirty years, and he was regarded
in both parties as one of the greatest men
in public life. He was better known in
New York than in the country at large,be
cause his official service, if not
has been confined to the state. At the
time of liis death he was filling the high
est judicial office of the State, and was
considered by many as the most available
man that the Democracy could nominate
for the Presidency ”
The Atlanta Constitution says: “Theil
lustration of Uncle Remus’s legends ol' the
old plantation will be from the pencil
of Mr. Frederick S. Church, whose delin

life are at oneo exquisitely felicitious and
richly delicate —the very refinement of tlie
sober humor which is a peculiarity of an
imals. Upon the serious side of art, Mr.
Church is one of the best known of our
younger American painters, and the June
Scribner has a selection from his works
entitled “After the Rain.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle says: “Emory Speer
got in a handsome address in the House
on the same day. I may say it was Geor

held a weary audience to close attention.
It must {have gratified him to have had
such men as Gen. Joe Johnston, Speaker
Randall and others call around at his seat
and grasp hi* hi ad in warm congratula
tion. You have heard the issue engaging
his attention—the Yocum-Curtin election
case.
The Republican papers try to make it
appear that Air. Hill's speech was a poor
one. But Mr. L. Q. Washington telegraphs
that it was “by far the most able and bril
liant speech on the Kellogg case which
lias yet been delivered. His arguments in
favorof unseating Kellogg were unanswer
able. The speech made a profound im
pression,and the translations of the cipher
telegrams sent by Kellogg to suborn per
jury created a sensation.”
The terrible disaster at Alilton, Pa-., by
which the town was almost entirely de
stroyed by fire, has awakened a deeper
sympathy throughout the State of Penn
sylvania and elsewhere, and the appeal
for relief made by the committee, is meet

Clearest the scene of desolation and ruin.
The state press association adopted a
resolution at Cuthbert requesting Air. J.
H. Estill, the president, to memorialize
the General Assembly to repeal the law
enacted by the recent Legislature regulat

agreement between the contracting parties.
The Florida Democratic papers think
that they can bent Dr. Conover, the Radi
cal candidate for Governor, like a flash.
The Doctor is one of the original carpet
baggers, and is therefore without the right
kind of record. The Democrats should
nominate a good man if they expect to
beat Conover.
The Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal
(Tilden) says that the result of the Ohio
Democratic State Convention was a tri
umph for Tilden, and it adds in double
leads: “His supporters are not noisy and
defiant, but they are getting in their work
all the same.”
Congress has concluded to adjourn the
last of this montli and go home. This is
certainly a wise conclusion and we hope
that the resolution to that effect will not
be reconsidered.

The Kind of Men to Elect.
Mr. Editor: —We don’t know who will be i
our next President, and in that regard we
know very nearly as much as any one, who
don’t know any mors than we do; but
there are some things we do know; one is,
there will be a President, another is there
will be a Governor of Georgia, another is
there will be a Congressman from this |
District. There will also be a Senator and
last and least a Representative. And
another thing we do know is, that we do
not know tho names of the men who will
fill all or either of these responsible posi
tions We know one other tiling which is,
that we want and we need men—men of
character and ability, men of discernment,
men understanding and knowing the
wants of the people, men who dare to do
right, men not corrupt, men who cannot
be bought, men who cannot be sold, men
of integrity, men who knowing the right
dare to do and maintain it. We specu
late, we write, we talk, we consume our
own time, we demand the time ot others.
In the use of our most earnest efforts to
impart valuable information, we are sur
prised that others are so unwilling to be
convinced; but men will think, and men
will at times think for themselves; there
are times when in the heat of excitement
men imbibe the sentiments of others and
in a frenzied fury are led away. The
Presidential campaign is being manipula
ted; it will wend its way, and time moving
steadily on will soon end it. This much
we might say of the Gubernatorial contest
in Georgia, but we feel a deep interest in
Georgia’s welfare, and would say more;
we always desire that this high position
should be filled by her most gifted sons,
by those most eminently qualified, in head
and heart, to adorn the highest ollice with
in the gift of the people, i’he people of
this State should be a unit in the selec
tion of a man to elevate to this position,
and while perfection does not rule in the
men of this day and time, yet we may'
have noble men who have occupied the
chair of State, and many noole men who
are eminently fitted for the position. Let
us in our choice exercise “wisdom, justice
and moderation” in a great degree, and at
this late day in the history of the Empire
State, abundantly exemplify the motto
above quoted. Voter.
A Compliment to ’Gene Speer.
During tlie discussion of the Legislative
appropriation bill last week in the lower
houso of Congress, tbe salaries of the four
desk, clerks were raised from $2,500 each
to $3,000 each per annum. During the
debate on this question Mr. Munroe, of
Ohio, said:
Mr. Speaker There are four of the best
clerks that could have been selected for
the various duties assigned to them at tho
desk, to three of whom it is proprosed to
pay $3,000 a year. These are three whose
work is conspicious to the whole House;
that is to say, the journal clerk and the
two reading clerks. I have felt the great
est respect for these gentlemen and have
recognized their ability and exactness in
the performance of their duties. But
there is also another clerk at the desk
whose labors are not so evident to the
House but who is equally meritorious and
whose duties are equally difficult. I refer
to the tally clerk. He has to keep all the
lists; he has to prepare as I understand,
the private calender, and I have observed
that this work that he does has been done
during the session with very great accura
cy and care. 1 have not a word to say in
objection to what the committee propose
as to the payment of the other clerks. I
acquiesce cheerfully in giving to them the
$3,0U0 which this amendment proposes
but I wish to include in the amendment
the tally clerk also and give him $3,000.”
We heartily endorse the following in re
gard to friend Speer, from tho Griffin
News: “This was a handsome compli
ment to Mr. Eugene Speer, the tally clerk,
especially coming from a Republican
member, Mr. Speer is comparatively a
new clerk, having only served this session,
but it appears that he has already won
the confidence and esteem of the House
which he serves. The amendment was
agreed to without dissent.”
The San Francisco News-Letter says:
“We have no hesitency in declaring that
De Young was murdered because the Kal
lochs could not stand what De Young
would have conclusively proven. The
duty was upon him to prove that the arti
cles which he published with a view to
prevent Kallock’s election was true. An
overwhelming array of testimony would
have been produced of which this commu
nity has but little conception.”
The President has appointed Horace
Maynard, at present United States Alinis
ter resident at Constantinople, to succeed
Postmaster General Key. General James
Longstreet, of Gainesville, Georgia, has
been appointed as the successor of May
nard.
The Atlanta Post says; “If Southern
Georgia is to furnish the State with its
next Governor, a better man than Hon. R.
E. Lester,of Savannah could not be select
ed. He is young and vigorous and capa
ble would wear the honors and gaurd the
interests of the Btate as well as any man
jU it.”
The Savannah Recorder Bays: “Hon.
Rufus E. Lester’s name is suggested for
Governor by nearly all the papers in the
State, llis candidacy calls forth the most
eulogistic tributes as a courteous presid
ing officer of the Senate, as an able law
yer, and as a good citizen.”
The City Directory of Atlanta just now
being completed, will show a population
of 43,0(H). The census it is thought will
demonstrate that Atlanta has a population
not less than 45,000.

nomination of John S. Bigby, of Newnan,

THE LESTER BOOM.
Georgia’s Next Governor.
[“Brooks" in Valdosta Times.)
The name of this distinguished gentle
man is now prominently before the peo
ple of Georgia for their next Governor.
From a view of the field he appear? to be,
by far, the strongest and most popular of
all those whose names have been men
tioned for that position. His friends and
advocates are not confined with any one
section, but are to be found in great num
bers in nearly every section in the State.
He is strongest in his section and through
out Southern and Southwest Georgia, and
wliereever personally known is loved and
admired by all.' The best evidence of true
character and merit in any man is to en
joy and possess the full confidence and
esteem of those among whom he lives,who
are his every day associates, and who have
every opportunito of best judging. Mr.
Lester has had no part in thus having his
name, so prominently, before the people,
for he is no politician or office-seeker. His
merits, however, are adpreciated, and we
regard it a most hopeful sign, when the
people of their own accord, bring forward
such a man for the highest honor in their
gift. We love to know something of the
early days of our leading men, and the
following brief sketch will be interesting
to all: Kufus E. Lester was born in Burke
county, Ga,, December 12th, 1837. Ilis
father and grandfather were both named
Ezekiel Lester and were highly esteemed
citizens and farmers of that county. His
father died when his son Rufus was but
two years old. Here in Burke county, in
what is known as “Lester’H District” he
grew up. spending part of his boyhood in
school and a part at work on the farm. He
was early impressed with the importance
of an education, and was prepared for col
lege by Mr, H. S. Hawley, at the age of I4
he entered Mercer University, then lo
cated at Penfield, from which he gradu
ated in 1857, with the first honor in his
class. Most of his classmates are dead.
Senator Henry D. McDaniel, of Walton
county, and Judge Thomas G. Lawson, of
Putnam county, two of Georgia’s noblest
sons, were his college mates. He went to
Savannah in January 1858, a country boy
and a stranger, without money or influ
ential friends, and studied law in tne of
fice of Norwood & Wilson, composed of
Hon. T. M. Norwood,now ex-United States
Senator, and General Claude Wilson, a
brave Confederate who died in November
18(13 of disease contracted in the army.
He was admitted to the bar in the fall ot
1859 and he at once became a partner with
his instructors under the firm name of
Norwood, Wilson & Lester. At the out
break of the war he enlisted in the service
of his country and served through it all,
first as Adjutant in the 25th Georgia Regi
ment and afterwards of Wilson s Brigade;
he was badly wounded at the battle of
Chicamauga but soon recovered and was
at his post. At the close of the war he re
turned to Savannah and again entered
upon the practice of the law; and has for
many years been one of the ablest and most
successful members of the prafesfion. Al
though enjoying a lucrative practice he is
ever ready to aid and defend the poor and
the friendless. Mr. Lester’s public life be
gan at the age of thirty, when he was nom
inated and elected, in 1868, Senator from
the First district of Georgia, embracing
the counties of Chatham, Bryan and Ef
fingham, which position he has ever since
and now holds, three times, in 1870, 1874,
and 1877, re-elected, without any opposi
tion iu the Democratic ranks,either in the
noniuation or at the polls. This single
fact speaks volumes of praise and recom
mendation in his favor. He was called by
the people to save his state, without solic
itation on his part, during the darkest
period of her history, when the counsel of
our wisest and best men were needed and
it is a remarkable favorable comment that
his whole career has worthily met with
approval, praise and endorsement from
his constituency and the State at large.
He is the only member of the present Sen
ate who has been so long and uninterrupt
edly returned since the war. His experi
ence and ability as a Legislator, are, by
no means, inconsiderable. He was elect
ed President of the Georgia Senate in Jan
uary 1877 and again in November 1878,
which ollice he now holds and in which
he has added much to his reputation.
Those who are best capable of judging say
he is one of the very best presiding offi
cers that ever filled that high place. In
his administration he is impartial, just
and conscientious. In the late trials of im
peachment against Goldsmith and lten
froe: after being fully convinced of the
truth of the charges against them he not
only voted for, but advocated their over
threw. It is believed that the coming
campaign is to ean aggressive on. We
must have a leader inv ilnerable to attrac us
not one who must fie vindicated,or wnose
blunders or faults we a?e called upon to
defend and cover up. Not a dog can move
his tongue against Mr. Lester. No one can
or will dare assail his character, publio or
private. It is believed and hoped that our
convention soon to meet will make him
our standard bearer. In Rufus E. Lester
we will have a Governor of whom all Geor-
I gia will be prou 1

1 1 see that many of them are disposed to

Hon. Simon 15. Conover, ex-United
