Madison county will put her
three ballots into the Carlton box.

Morgan will rally to the daunt

The Banner-Watchmansays that
every politician is against Carlton
in the hope < that lightning will
strike himself.

Somebody says Elbert will go
for Beese. We can’t help that. It
won’t keep Carlton out of Congress.
But will Elbert do so ?

Gentlemen, Oglethorpe county

Oglethorpe was not for Mr. Seaborn
Beese at last accounts.

In withdrawing from the Congres

It stands now thus: Beese, 10;
Carlton, 6; Nisbet, s—with Ogle

Franklin, Elbert and Hart to hear
from.

Those papers which are wasting
a good deal of ink over “Carlton’s
Attitude in the Campaign” will
pretty soon be consoled by his at
titude in Congress.

There’ll be a good many politi
cians “struck by lightning” on
July 20, and those that are not on
hand then will get their “electri
city” in August or October.

Cliques and combinations are
already forming in Greene county
for the fall campaign. When the
time comes the Home Journal can
put its finger on the winning ticket.

We bear that Carlton has a
“fighting chance” in Wilkes. We
never expected much for Carlton
there. We hope for the best. But
we expect to see Carlton nominat
ed allee samee!
*
* *
Our latest accounts from the
national capital represent Mr.
Cleveland and his wife as getting
along all right. She has just been
given $50,000, and by paying cash
for marketing and doing without
desserts the couple will not be
pinched for the present.
*
* *
Franklin county, if it has the
spirit which animates the other
'‘small" counties, will not only in
sist on casting the three votes al
lotted her by the Congressional
Executive Committee, and against
which just allowance the Reese
people kick, but she will place those
three votes for Carlton, where “they
will do the most good.”
*
* *
The “small” counties will all be
heard from. They will send “three”
delegates each to the Congression
al convention, notwithstanding that
one of the counties with “five”
votes declares the Executive Com
mittee’s reapportionment a “nulli
ty.” The“smaH” counties,so-called,
which have not yet voted for Carl
ton are Morgan, Madison, Elbert,
Franklin and Hart Clarke and
Oconee have already appointed
delegates, and they will vote for
Carlton.

The present year has already
become famous for its farming mis
fortunes. It has presented more
discouragements and drawbacks
to the farmer than any period in
our memory. The elements and
the markets have been against him.
It has got to be an inverse faith
with the Southern farmer that
great crops are great misfortunes.
At the same time it does not seem
to us that small crops or no crops
at all are any improvement on the
•tote of things.
CARLTON !
Without & snapped or strained or
sullied link, we take op the chain
of the campaign just where we left
it Without hesitancy, without
doubt, without misgiving—with
faith, candor and enthusiasm—we
nail the name of Carlton to the
masthead, there to float till the
sunset gun of the campaign, wheth
er or not forty Bichmonds take
the field.
Carlton is again afield. It was
needful to pause in his splendid
circuit of the district just long
enough to reveal the plans of his
opponents and to thwart them.
He is now again on the Appian
way to victory. Let his friends
pour to his support. There are
enough in this district, if they
could meet at the ballot box, to
elect Carlton by a majority that
would shake the earth from under
Seaborn Beese.
A COUP D’ ETAT.
The interjection of a third can
didate into an arena where the
first already held the point of van
tage, to wit, the official prize,
and the second was contesting the
ground, was calculated to hopeless
ly divide the strength of the sec
ond man and to make invulnerable
the position of the first. This
plan failed. The splendid man
agement of Carlton cleared the
field at a stroke and left the con
flict jast as it had been. Not this
alone, but Carlton actually return
ed to the combat refreshed, invig
orated and inspired. He did not
lose a single vote nor a friendly in
fluence. He did not leave his
forces weakened. But he came
back doubly armed, and by his un
expected and dashing presence
where least expected he cleared
his flanks and routed the enemy in
his front. It is the old story of the
Troupe battery in the Army of
Northern Virginia. It was Carl
ton’s artillery, and it is doing ex
cellent work in the Eighth Georgia
Congressional district.
THE REAPPORTIONMENT.
The Reese meeting on Saturday
declared the recent reapportion
ment resolution of the Executive
Committee of the Eighth Congres
sional district to be “unauthorized,
and therefore a nullity.’' People
who see without obliquity will
wonder whether the resolution of
the Beese meeting, being “unau
thorized,” is not also a “nullity.”
The reapportionment is as nearly
absolutely fair as fairness can be
reached without hacking up indi
vidual delegates into decimal frac
tions. It will striko every fair
minded man, outside of the ques
tion of arithmetic, |that if 80,000
population is entitled to a represen
tation of 25 votes, 73,000 popula
tion ought to have 23. And yet
the Reese meeting objects to 73,-
000 population being given 21
votes by the reapportionment.
But the Greene county Reese
convention might have meant that
it objected to the additional
vote allotted them by the Execu
tive Committee. Of course, the
Committee cannot compel the
Greene county delegation to cast
5 votes for Mr. Reese if the latter
choose to poll but 4.
After all, it is a question for the
whole district whether the Greene
county delegation has more to say
in the matter than the Executive
Committee of the Eighth Congres-
sional district; and since it has
been claimed by Mr. Reese’s
friends that the doughty Congress
man is going to “walk over” Capt.
Carlton, we can’t see that the
technicality of a vote or two one
way or the other ought to agitate
Mr. Reese's partisans.
HOW IT WILL WORK.
Greene ranks as a “big” county
because it has 5 votes where other
counties have 3. At the Reese con
vention on Saturday Greene de
clared by implication that the
small counties ought not to have
3 votes. In other words, it said
that the act of the Executive Com
mittee, which gave the counties all
round one vote more, was unau
thorized and a nullity. The coun
ties of Morgan, Madison, Franklin,
Elbert and Hart, against which
the resolution was aimed, will re
sent this action of the Reese con
vention by oasting their votes for
Carlton for Congress against Reese.
It rains!
GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL: GREENESBORO, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1866r-ETGHTRAGES.
OUR ANSWER.
A letter from Madison says that
some of Reese’s friends in Morgan
county are claiming that Reese ap
pointed Mr. Thornton to the post
office here before Mr. Winter’s pe
tition was forwarded.
This reopens a question that we
thought was settled. But in the
interest of truth, we assert that Mr.
Winter'B application was in Mr.
Reese'B hands upivard of fourteen
months before Mr. Thornton was ap
pointed.
Secondly. The same letter asks
us if the persons who signed Mr.
Winter’s application did not sign
Mr. Thornton’s. To this the
Home Journal answers that those
ivho signed Mr. Winter's application
did so specifically for the appoint
ment as postmaster. The petition
so stated.
On the contrary, Mr. Thorn
ton’s document was misleading.
It teas not a definite application Jar
the postmastership, nor for any other
specific appointment; and scores of
signers will make affidavit, we are
assured, that the subject of the post
mastership was tacitly understood to
be no part of Mr. Thornton's expect
ation. It is absurd to suppose that
Henry D. McDaniel, Governor of
Georgia, Evan P. Howell, R. IJ.
Hardeman, A. H. Colquitt and Jo
seph E. Brown ivould have officiously
endorsed a petition for a local postof
fice appointment. What could they
have to do with the postoffice at
Greenesboro.
Other gentlemen who did sign
it assert that they had signed Mr.
Winter’s specific application, and
would not, of course, have signed
another to the same effect, but they
were assured that the signattires
were wanted only as a testimonial
of fitness in case Mr. Thornton
should at some time wish a position
under the government. Mr. Thorn
ton's paper, as it teas presented for
signature, had no reference (in fact,
avoided all reference) to the postmas
tership, for Mr. Winter's applica
tion had already been signed and
forwarded.
Does this answer our Morgan
county friends ? There is nothing
contrary to this statement of facts
in Mr. Reese’s late and labored
publication. If the Home Journal
is in error, why does not the Con
gressman correct vs ?
THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY.
It is given out from Washington
by the correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press (Republican) that
as soon as Congress adjourns the
President will make a clean sweep
of the departments and decap
itate the Republican employes
without compunction.
Our readers will remember that
the Home Journal early in the year
foreshadowed this policy. It was
plainly to be seen that if Mr. Cleve
land had set out at the beginning
of the session to make removals on
a large scale the Republican Sen
ate would have blocked his scheme
by refusing to confirm his appoint
ments. He would then have pre
sented to the country the weak and
humiliating spectacle of a Pres
sident who had caused the busi
ness of the government to be ob
structed by removing from the
service one set of officials without
having the power to appoint an
other. Such an attitude to the
concerns of the country would have
belittled the President and demor
alized the Democratic party. With
singular patience Mr. Cleveland
permitted the malcontents and
spoilsmen to abuse him until they
got out of wind. Ho did not budge
under the combined assaults of all
sorts of obstructionist factions.
He has now shown himself to be
master of the situation, and at the
next nominating convention, if he
lives, he will show the people some
thing else.
WORK.
Carlton's friends will take the
lesson of success conveyed in the
little word— work ! That means
victory. All others mean nothing.
Get year men to the meetings and
the polls.
The Tammany Democracy is
looming into power again in New
York, owing to the conviction of
the “boodle” Young Democracy
Aldermeu. When Tammany goes
forward in sincerity to win (which
is not indeed often the case) she
can sweep New York City and
State for the party every time.
Look out for a cold snap about
the 10th of July. It is predicted..
NEARING THE END.
Every Georgian who loves Geor
gia must rejoice that the unprece
dented political campaign for the
Governorship is drawing to a close.
Whatever now shall be the bias
of the popular masses of the State,
whatever shall be the result of
the popular election to the individ
ual candidates, no man in this com
monwealth who is a Georgian in
the fall sense that the noun im
plies will ever lift his eyes to look
back with a pride or placidity upon
the internecine political scramble
of 1886. To speak of it to him in
the cold and sober future will be to
strike him dumb. To think of it,
will thrill him with pain and re
morse.
We care not now who shall be
the Governor, for this canvass has
mildewed every memory that orept
about and clung to the exalted
place, and it has torn away or tar
nished every touch of glory that
pure ambition and noble triumph
ever gave to its name.
The press of Georgia and the
public men of the Democratic par
ty have unstintingly and outspoken
ly branded the enemies of Democ
racy in the South with the brand
of thievery, of bribery, of mur
der, of rapine, of plunder, of hy
pocrisy, of fraud—in short, with
the brand of every sin in the dec
alogue and with every decendant
of those sins. We know that, all
in all, this stygian indictment, ter
rible as were its specifications, was
literally and indubitably true of
the Republicans who reigned and
ruined in the South. But what
has been said in all that has been
said against the Radical party in
the past that has not been said
among Democrats and of Demo
crats in this hideous helter-skelter
iog for an empty, nay, an inglori
ous, political success!
Whether General Gordon shall
sweep onward to election on the
present favorable wave, or whether
by an unparalleled revulsion of sen
timent Major Baoon shall spring
into the advance, it matters not
to the point we are emphasizing.
We want to know how those who
have persistently and heedlessly
blackened the fame of the candi
dates are going to meet the man
who is chosen to be Governor of
Georgia? We commend this ques
tion to the press, the stump and
the people.
But the end is near. If the
State is to be spared such another
campaign by reason of the repug
nant features of this, it is well. If
Georgia is ever again to be torn
by intestinal political strife and
stung to her vitals by strumous ul
cers, then it were best that she con
fer in fee simple all title to her
Executive office.
DITTO.
We can name seventeen Carlton
men in this corporation who did
not come to the polls on election
day. There must have been many
others whom we cannot name.
Reese carried this county by 16
votes after the hardest struggle
ever made for a candidate. This
fact ought to be noted in other
counties, and it ought to inspire
the friends of Carlton. They can
depend upon it that Reese’s peo
ple will vote, and they must see the
need of doing ditto. •
