FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1886.
FOR CONGRESS.
Whatever differences there might
be as between the Democratic Pres
ident and the Democratic party,
or certain of its factions, the peo
ple of the whole oonntry should
feel indebted to Mr. Cleveland for
having strenuously set the example
himself of attending to the business
he was elected to perform, and for
being the very first President who
ever had the moral conrage to
p#int out to the representatives of
the people that they were servants
and not rulers, and that their
sphere of labor pertained to the
welfare of the people and not to
the wielding of patronage in favor
of special pets among the poli
ticians. The fruits of Mr. Cleve
land’s conduct are not fully ri
pened.butthe time will come when
the men who elect will see that the
man who is elected shall in full ex
ecute the functions for which ho
was chosen ; and this reform must
of necessity begin with the choice
of Congressmen.
It is with a regret that we keen
ly feel, but it is in entire conso
nance with our perception of the
duty we owe to the people whom we
serve, that we are constrained
to oppose the re-election of Mr.
Beese as the member for this Con
gressional district. We need not
to mince matters. Mr. Reese, in
our opinion and in the opinions of
a vast proportion of the people of
the Eighth District, has failed not
only to meet the expectations of
the electors, but be has failed to fill
the position to which he aspired
to the credit of himself and with
satisfaction to tho masses who will
be asked, perhaps, to re-elect him.
We have watched the career of the
present Congressman with interest
and solicitude, and, we repeat with
out apology, we do not believe
he ought to be returned to Con
gress from this constituency.
The following from the Eatonton
Messenger will show that we are
not alone in our conclusions, al
though perhaps we may have addi
tional reasons for our expres
sions:
“It has been given out that the
withdrawal of Col. Mattox from
the Congressional race renders
Col. Reese’s renomiuation certain.
This is a great mistake. A ma
jority of the people of the Eighth
District have had enough of Col.
Reese, and are willing for him to
retire on his laurels. If they will
go about it in tho right way, an
other and abler and better man
will represent them in tho next
Congress. Tho Colonel will not
have a ‘walk over’ this year. It is
very probable that he will be al
lowed to devote his entire time to
his law practice and his front
bangs.”
On the other hand, however, the
Madisonian says: ‘ Those democrat
ic papers in this district that ridi
cule Seab Reese’s bangs and are
sneering at his ability are neither
hurting him or advancing the in
terest of any of their immediate
townsmen. Seab Reese is too well
known in this congressional dis
trict for such contemptible flings
to prejudice his chances for renom
inatiou and re-election to Congress,
fclor will any two-third rule be
adopted by the next convention to
bring out some dark horse. The
majority rule will obtain and some
one nominated on the first ballot.”
Tho Madisonian, of course, has
a right to defend its candidate, but
when it intimates that he shall or
will be re-elected, it is just there
that the Home Journal takes issue.
We are asserting no candidate’s
claims, and we have no individual
in reserve to nominate. Mr. Sea
born Reese, as a public man, is
entitled to criticism if his short
comings deserve it, aud wo think
they do. To say that Democratic
papers which criticize his ability
are not entitled so to do if they
choose, smacks too much of the
very evil of Democratic politics
agaiust which we contend—the
“ring” and the “caacus.” It should
he the wish of Democratic papers
all over Georgia to send to Con
gress the very best men obtaiuable.
'V ill tbe Madisonian give the peo
ple of this district Borne of its rea
sons for believing that Mr. Reese
is that man, or that another is not?
If the Mudisooiuu conceives tLat
the nomination belongs to itself
and tho position to Mr. Rouse, thou
llm Madisonian is not the paper
to call Democratic journals to ue
pount for doing that which uu*
der our system is the paramount
privilege and safeguard ot Demo
cratic institutions. * *
But we have digressed.
No man who defers entirely to
the politicians (who constitute a
very small per centage of the
whole people) ought to pretend
that he represents his district, and
no man who so defers can be re
elected if the people so ignored
have the necessary moral courage
to resent at the polls the humilia
tion thus imposed and to assert
their own superiority over the men
who are deputed to serve and to
represent them.
Mr. Reese has been absent from
Lis seat in Congress with a fre
quency which has awakened the
observation, the comment and rid
icule of the press of the country.
Be has no more right to absent
himself from his place and his
duties while he is physically capa
ble of being present and of filling
them, and while he is drawing pay,
than have any other class of em
ployes to exact salaries and ex
pect tolerance while they are seek
ing profit or pleasure in any other
than the positions where they are
employed and have obligated
themselves to be. If Mr* Reese
•
has been physically incapable of
>ccupying his seat, then a health
ier man is needed for the interests
of this district, If Mr. Reese has
had “business” elsewhere than in
the sessions of Congress, then this
district requires the service of a
representative who will not be em
barrassed by private concerns
where there are public duties to
perform.
The* Warrenton Clipper last
week said :
“It begins to look as if Sparta
can’t get a Democratic postmaster,
even when there is a vacancy in
the office. What is the matter
with Saab Reese and the Post
office Department? Somebody
ought to be put in charge of the
office.”
More than a year ago a citizen of
Greenesboro, a candidate for the
postmastership at this place, en
dorsed, specifically, by the vast ma
jority of those who do business in
Greenesboro, endorsed by eigh
teen-twentieths of those who em
ploy the mails, endorsed by five
sixths of the white citizens, aud by
those representing nineteen-and-a
half-twentieths of all the taxable
wealth of this corporation, put his
application in the hands of Mr.
Reese to be laid before the depart
ment at Washington. One year af
terward an official letter reached
this city from the Assistant Post
master-General to the effect that
no such application was ever re
ceived at that office. If this had
been a merely personal matter be
tween Mr. Reese and the appli
cant, Mr. Reese’s omission would
have been a violation of the common
amenities of politeness, unless he
had declined to become the medi
um of the application. When the
applicant at length, having failed
in all the intervening months to get
a response to written inquiries, in
formed the Congressman that a
citizen of Greenesboro had learned
that no application had been filed
at Washington, the indignant re
tort was that He (Mr. Reese) con
trolled that appointment, and that
he wanted it understood that no
notice would be taken of communi
cations to the department unless
they were received through His
(Reese’s) hands H We shall repro
duce this letter, from which we have
mildly quoted, at the proper time.
Here is a member of Congress
who tacitly forbids a citizen of his
district to communicate with a de
partment of his government unless
through Him (Reese); yet he holds
unanswered and ignored such a
communication from a citizen of
his district for twelve months, nev
er even having acknowledged its
receipt, except unofficially to a per
sonal acquaintance. To say that
an official of this sort is a “repre
sentative” is not only a misnomer,
but a misuse of plain English and
a miserable burlesque of common
sense; aud if such incivility or con
tempt of a single constituent in a
district is deemed to be any part
of the prerogative of a “represent
tntive,” then the eutire constituen
cy and the district itself were far
better off without the tomfoolery
aud folderol of a member of Con
gress.
For ouy explanation, vindication
or information with which, cither
as a citizen or ns an official, Mr.
ltcese shall choose to favor the peo
ple of this CougrcNsionul district
pertinent or not to the matters
herein contained, the columns of j

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The thoughtful and intelligent
men of the country must contem
plate with interest, if not apprehen
sion, the rapid spread of this organ
ization. It is likely to force upon
this, and perhaps other nations,
issues and problems of grave im
port and difficult solution. The
evils which are threatened by these
labor-combinations, unless arrested
are likely to cripple all the leading
industries of the country, and im
peril and unsettle finance and com
merce all over the world, by fre
quent and formidable strikes and
uprisings of desperate and lawless
men. We are no alarmist, but we
feel that it would be well, especial
ly for American and European
statesmen, to give early considera
tion to this subject. It is attract
ing the attention of the church
both in Europe and this country.
A writer in the Maryland Church
men says: “Everybody now seems
to be joining the Knights of Labor.
That is the one popular thing
among us. I hope the crafty pol
tician will not get in. Borne great
meetings have been held lately in
the interest of this movement and as
i rule the orators have been con
servative, and talked in the main
wisely. There were no ‘sand lot’
orators among them.” We trust
Congress will before it adjourns
give attention to this important
question.

Dr. 8. Bradfield: Dear Sir—Some fifteen

well as now) pronounce it to be the most
scientific and skillful combination of the
really reliable remedial vegetable agents
known to science, to act directly on the
womb and uterine organs, and the organs
and parts sympathizing directly with these;
and, therefore, providing a specific remedy
for all diseases of the womb and of tbe
adjacent organs and parts. Yours truly,
