FRIDAY. JUNE 25, 1888.
FOIt GOVERNOR.
MAJOR A. O. BACON,
OF 8188 OOUNTY,
Subject to the Nominating Convention.
ECHOES.
An exchange says: “When we
are ‘for’ a man, we are for him, and
when we are not, we ‘go for’ him.”
*
* *
The coart house meeting might
be the sorest way to run in a doubt
ful candidate, but the primary is
the most honest for all parties.
*
* *
The Danielsville Monitor sup
ported Carlton np to the time of
his withdrawal. It this week an
nounces itself as for Mr. Reese.
***
If Mr. Nisbet really intends to
make the race for all it is worth
(and we have no reason to doubt
that he does), the Banner-Watch
man intimates that it will support
him.
If primary elections are held in
the remaining counties, and the
farmers turn out and vote, we pre
dict that Mr. Reese will carry but
few counties of the whole number
to act.
. * *
The farmers will no doubt good
naturedly take the lesson of the
late primary. It is this: When you
are in favor of a candidate, go
forth and vote for him. It is the
votes which el^ct.
V*
Inspector Dodge of the New
York Custom House has been re
moved for passing Mrs. President
Cleveland’s (nee Miss Folsom) bag
gage from a European steamship
without the prescribed examina
tion.
*
* *
The recent widespread discon
tent with the administration has
almost entirely subsided. People
everywhere are beginning to ap
preciate Mr. Cleveland as one of
the grandest men of his timo and
one of the great Presidents of our
history.
*
* *
Far more for the glory of Geor
gia than for the matter of our own
preferences we regret that any
thing should have made it excusa
ble that Capt. H. H. Carlton should
retire. He Would have made a
model Congressman, for he wits a
model candidate.
*
* *
The moral support of three-fifths
of the thinking people is worth
nothing to a candidate unless they
turn out and vote. Hard work and
full voting will elect a minority
candidate every time. It is the
vote that counts. In elections,
“counting noses” don’t amount to
a row of pins.
*
**
The increase in representation
in the Eighth Congressional 'dis
trict convention, to be held on July
20, will make the'whole delegation
number 46, instead of 34. It will
therefore require 24 votes to nomi
nate. Of this number Beese has
now 10 and Nisbet 5, with nine
counties to hear from.
Had Carlton carried Greene
county, he would have swept nine
others, leaving Hancock and Put-,
nam for Reese and Nisbet. And
had scores of Carlton men who re
mained away from the polls pre
sented themselves and voted on
Saturday week, Carlton would
have carried Greene handsomely.
*
* *
Whatever the political whirligig
may or may not bring forth now or
hereafter, the name of H. H. Carl
ton will be revered of all men as
that of a candidate who made the
cleanest and whitest campaign ever
known in this country. It is our
faith that, could he have remained
afield, he would have been covered
with victory. As it is, he goes out
of the campaign covered with
honors.
**•
The unfortunate complications
which have entered into the Con
gressional contest in this district
do not modify the fact that a ma
jority, a very pronounced majority,
of the people thereof are thorough
ly disgusted with and unalterably
opposed to Mr. Reese's return to
Congress. The question now, how
ever, is, whether in viow of recent
events that opposition can bo crys
tallised, us it undoubtedly was be
ing rapidly crystallised two weeks
MQ,
DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
At the time of the last election
for Governor in New York a good
many honest men were sincerely
concerned lest the administration
of Mr. Cleveland should be discred
ited and weakened. The mug
wump journals at that time were
dishonoring themselves and trying
to dishonor the Present by urg
ing him to desert his own par
ty and indirectly assist the opposi
tion which had just insulted him in
its platform and made an ardent
Blaine man its candidate. On the
other hand, a number of papers
professing some slack allegiance
to the Democratic party were do
ing everything in their power to
defeat Governor Hill by pretend
ing that his election would be a re
buke to the President. Things did
not look cheerful, it must be con
fessed, yet the people’s common
sense guided them to a right con
clusion, and after the noise died
away everybody saw that a Demo
cratic administration at Washing
ton had been strengthened and in
dorsed by a Democratic victory in
New York.
But the croakers did not cease
to prophesy evil, and they declar
ed that this year, anyway, the ad
herence of the President to his
own and his party’s pledges would
bring about Democratic defeat.
We have had some elections this
year already, and the result does
uot support this theory. Jersey
City and Hoboken, just across the
river, elected Democratic mayors.
The Democrats carried Albany by
a handsome old-time majority, and
nowhere in New York has there
been any sign of the predicted re
action. The same is true of the
Connecticut town elections. At
a municipal election in Wilming
ton, Del., the other day, the Dem
ocrats swept the city by the largest
majority they ever had there. Yet
that city is the home of the Secre
tary of State, who is known to
share the President’s views con
cerning civil service appointments.
In the South there is no sign of
wavering.
In Oregon last Tuesday there
was an important State election.
The State has been decidedly Re
publican for years. The Demo
crats have always made a gallant
but usually hopeless struggle. Had
they been disappointed and dis
pirited on account of the conduct
of the administration they would
have made but little effort this
year. They would not have even
been in a condition to take advan
tage of the local dissensions in the
Republican party there. But the
event shows that the Democrats
were active, united and alert. They
have elected their candidate for
Governor by nearly 2,000 majori
ty, and have chosen several other
State officers by smaller majorities.
Even up in Maine the Democrats
are active and hopeful, and they
declare that Mr. Blaine will find
he needs all of Mr. Bodwell’s mon
ey to enable him to hold his own
State.
Thus from the extreme East to
the farthest West we see Demo
crats confident and aggressive.
This does not look as though the
party was destined to defeat, even
though disappointed politicians do
growl, and angry newspapers echo
their growls. The truth is that
the people are very well pleased
with Mr. Cleveland and his admin
istration. The Democrats are en
couraged to go on voting the Dem
ocratic ticket, while the Republi
cans, relieved of their apprehen
sions as to the effect of Democratic
rule, have grown indifferent and
careless about voting the Republi
can ticket. Though the voice of
the disgruntled is still heard in the
land, the outlook for the Demo
cratic party is bright and hopeful.
HOW IT STANDS.
The only thing that could have
removed our confidence in Carlton’s
election would have been his defeat
at the polls. As this test is now
impossible, we will always believe
that Carlton would have been the
nominee of the Congressional con
vention, provided the contest be
tween himself and Reese had re
mained intact. If Col. Nisbet can
now carry the counties that would
have gone for Carlton he will get
the nomination. If not, Reese
will be the next Congressman.
Now that the President has been
married in a manner to suit him
self, he graoiously and good-uatur
edly announces two public recep-1
| lions, at which the peut up agony
of curiosity on the part of the j

IMPORTANT CHANGE.
Our readers will preserve the
following comparative tables for ref
erence. Previous to the recent
convention of the Democratic Exec
utive Committee of the Eighth Con
gressional district at Athens, the
ratio of representation in the nom
inating body corresponded with
twice the number of representa
tives in the legislature, as follows :
County. No. Rep- Vote in
resen tativea. Convention.
Greene 2 4
Putnam 2 4
Oglethorpe 2 4
Hancock 2 4
Wilkes 2 4
Clarke l 2
Franklin 1 2
Elbert l 2
Hart 1 2
Madison 1 2
Morgan 1 2
Oconee l 2
12 17 84
According to the above there
would be 34 votes in the nominat
ing convention, of which 17£
would be a majority, and22| would
be a two-third vote. It was found
that the former ratio of representa
tion was entirely unfair to certain
counties. For example, Elbert
county, with 11,957 populatian, has
but two votes in the nominating
body, while Putnam, with 14,539
(or only 2,582 greater population)
has twice the number of votes.
Further than this, it is found that
the five counties with four votes
each, or 20 votes in all, aggregate
80,460 population, while the sev
en counties with 2 votes each, or
14 votes in all, have a total popu
lation of 73,567, or within about
7,000 persons of the former. Thns,
if the two classes of counties were
allotted representation on aggre
gate population there would be a
difference in favor of the first coun
ties in the table of just two votes ;
whereas the disparity is now six.
To correct as far as possible this
obviously unfair and unreasonable
discrimination against the seven
smaller counties, the Democratic
Executive Committee at Athens re
adjusted the basis of representa
tion according to the following
table. The Congressional nominat
ing convention will be held at
Athens on July 20. The several
counties will send delegates as foi-
lows:
Counties. No. Delegates.
Grene. 5
Putnam 5
Oglethorpe 5
Hancock 5
Wilkes. 5
Clarke
Franklin 3
Elbert 3
fiart 3
Madison .3
Morgan 3
Oconee 3
12 ~ 46
On this basis votes will con
stitute a majority, and a two-third
majority will be a fraction over
30 §.
A SIGNIFICANT LULL.
Men in this county who but two
weeks ago voted for General Gor
don have since remarked that they
regretted their choice. They claim
that in the hurry and hurrah of the
campaign they really found it im
possible to think with calmness
and determine with considerate
ness.
The present significant lull in
the excitements of the campaign
does not augur well for General
Gordon’s chances. Those who have
stood beyond the whirlpool where
the political elements were eddying
with heedless and headlong fury
cannot readily understand how
men are swept on, against common
sense, common reason and perhaps
against common protest, into a
rescueless gulf; but to those who
have fallen into the vortex it is
another thing. Until within a very
few days it has been utter folly to
attempt to reason with that portion
of the voting masses who have
been rushing along with the cur
rent. They were as helpless to
heed as remonstrance was feeble
to be heard. But the pot bas ap
parently boiled over and put out
the fire. It now seems plain to
the casual philosopher of the situ
ation that Bacon’s opportunity,
without commotion or froth, has
come along in the lull which has
succeeded the expended tensest,
and out of the silent wreck of the
storm the sober sense and the
profound logic of the crisis are
asserting themselves. The time
is, it occurs to us, past when the
maniac craze and the mad fury of |
the campaign are potent to sweep
away the solid convictions and )
solemn judgments of the people i
Ihe hush of the campaign is with j
es now. Men will probably think,
and then vote—cot vote, and then
repine. We are constrained to
view this state of things as a clear
advantage to the conservatism of
Major Bacon, and we believe it
has come about at an interval in
the contest which leaves to his
friends ample time for decisive
trinmph.
