MAJOR WIIITELEY.
This worthy disciple of Grant and
the Pcvjl made a speech in Camilla
last Saturday. Of course it was in
keeping with his record. Col. Flem
ing replied to him, but Whiteley’s
negroes were so well-drilled that
very few staid to hear “the other side
of the question.”
HON. JAMES L. SEWARD.
ThI* ‘ ‘straight-out" Democrat
“dpofcc a piece” at a Democratic
meeting in Thomasriffe last Satur
day, but was cooapletly skinned alive
by Geo. Gib Wright, Capt. Bob Ely,
Col. McIntyre and Col. Bob Mitchell,
who made Greeley-Democratic
speeches Seward squirmed, but it
wag no use, he could not escape his
tormentors, who finally brought Mm
up to so' high a pitch of desperation
that he affirmed he had rather sup
port Grant than Greeley.
We are glad that Mr. Seward
never Was a Democrat until the
“straight-outs” were organized, and
he is certainly welcome to all the
Democracy in posession of that par
cel of political Jackasses. If
“straight-out” Democracy meant
good to the country and people, we
are certain that Mr. Seward would
not continue with it a single- day—
but as it means aid to Grant, and
destruction to constitutional govern
ment generally, he is heart and soul
in the movement.

ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE 1
It is time that Democratic clubs
were formed in every district in the
County of Decatur. Their organiza
tion should be perfected at once, for
the campaign is now fairly opened
and it will be hottest ever known in
the political history of this county.
Organize your clubs and set the ball
in motion.
HEALTHY,
pirants to the different offices within
the gift: of the voters of Decatur coun
ty. It is healthy—it shows that
these aspirants have great confi
dence in the success of the Demo
cratic party at the next election.
Another good indication is that all
of them are subject to the nomina
ting convention of the party. This
is right. Everybody can aspire. This
is a free land—anybody, even a
woman, can aspire to the Presidency.
But we do not question the right of
Democrats to aspire to office, but
after the nomination we implicitly
declare that'they have no right tp
become independent candidates.
“IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR
GREELEY MY NEGROES NEV
ER WOULD HAVE BEEN
FREE!”'
Wo heard a prominent scallawag
of Decatur county make the asser
tion that hcad^.this article, a few
days ago. That was one of his main
reasons for supporting Grant, and
for professing such unbounded af
fection for the negro. Because he
hated Greeley for having so mucb to
do with freeing the negro, and loved
the negro because he was free.. A
strange conglommeration ot ideas to
be sure—but when such expressions
from white Radicals are of daily oc
currence, we cannot see how any
colored voter could be such a dam-
ptiool as not to vote for Greeley,
the ackuowlciiged author of their
freedom.
THE STRAYED OUTS.
The “Straight Outs” are not meet
ing with very flattering encourage
ment to judge lrom the following ac
count of their late meeting in New
York. The World says: The “ten
little bolters” held a secret confer-
enceSaturday at the St. James Holel
At one P. M., an hour after the time
named in the call, there were just
twenty persons in room No. 10, and
the party'did not include a single
man of national reputation. The
most prominent persons present were
-William C. Barrett, a member of the
Apollo Hall- Democratic Executive
Committee, and a trusted adviser of
Senator O’Brien; Mr. Davidson, one
of the clerk? of the Marine Court
and the Secretary of the Apollo Hall
Democractic Executive Committee,
and Judge Flanders. Scarcely six
States were represented. The ob
ject of the meeting was to furnish an
opportunity for informal discussion,
and no officers were, therefore,
chosen. Delegates from Delaware,
Illinois, and Kentucky claimed that
their States would be represented^
the Louisville Convention, and it
was also stated tbgt a delegation
from this city would probably attend
the Convention. No one seemed to
know what would be done. Two of
had dined on the previous evening
with Charles O’Connor, and bad
urged him to allow his name to be
used as the nominee of the Louis
ville Convention, but no decided
answer had been given by him. There
was much desultory discussion, but
no definite conclusion had been
reached at the hour of adjournment.
THE COTTON STATES MECHAN
ICAL AND FAIR ASSOCIA
TION, AUGUSTA.
We desire to return onr thanks to
Mr. Robert Martain. Secretary of
the Cotton States Mechanical and
Fair Association, Augusta, Georgia,
for the favor of a complimentary
ticket to the Third Annual Fair,
with thft “hope of cur attendance.”
The success of former years, added
to the flattering prospects of the
present, induces the Association to
believe that their fair wiU be “unus
ually attractive to the farmer and
mechanic.” The experience of the
gentlemen connected with the man
agement of l heir well known busi
ness capacity, are sufficient guaran
tees for their complete success. Feel
ing peculiarly interested in the ag
ricultural aud mechanical prosperi
ty of Georgia, as well as gratitude
for their -kindness, we wish them
abundant success.
COL. W. 0. FLEMING, THE BEST
MAN IN THE SECOND DIS
TRICT FOR CONGRESS.
In the heading of this article we
are aware that we assume a great
deal for Col. Fleming, yet we be
lieve every word of it, and the people
of the 2d District are fast beginning
to realize the same fact, notwith
standing Nelson Tift, Gen Wright,
Col. McIntyre, are all men of great
ability.
If any man in the District is en
titled to the nomination it is Fleming.
No man has served the cause of
Democracy more faithfully or more
patriotically. For the last seven
years he has never relaxed one mo
ment in his zealous opposition to
^ Radicalism. He has given time,
money, and talents to the part},
and he has never asked an office,
but in- /act has persistently declined
the use of I'is Bame in connection
with any nomination. We know that
on more than one Occasion he was
tendered the support of a strong
body of friends If he’d allow' his
name to go before the Congressional
Convention,-but he refused.
Such disinterestedness as that
uniformly manifested by Col. Fleming
Since the commencement of his
political career is deserving of the
highest commendation and eminent
ly worthy of emulation. And now
that he has allowed his friends to
bring him forward tor the Congres
sional nomination, we consider that
his claims to the honor are better
than those of anybody else.
We are glad to see the people
waking up to a just appreciation of
Col. Fleming—they are beginning to
Know him, and we predict that their
knowledge of his sterling qualities is
sufficient to direct their action in
the Albaqy Convention, which will
be to give him the nomination unani
mously. And when they have nomi
nated him .they can go home with
the proud consciousness of having
designated a nun to represent them
in the National Council whose pa
triotism hag stood the test.
NEXT TUESDAY. •
Next Tuesday, the 3rd pros,
the day on which the Convention to
nominate a State Senator, Members
of the Legislature, and county of
ficers, meets in Bainbridge. That
Convention, consisting of delegates
eleeted by the people 6f Decatur,
will have an* arduous and most un
enviable duty to perform. That it
will be performed well we have no
doubt. As thick as locusts in Egtpt
are the aspirants for the various of
fices, and they are good and com
petent men, yet there are not places
enough for all—no, not for one tenth
of them.
Therefore, the position of the
nomination convention will be a
very delicate one. It must use the
very ni^sl discrimination, because
every aspirant’s e'aims are to be
considered and then compared—and
these aspirants all have numerous
frfends who are equally as anxious
that they should have places of hon
or and profit. We do not envy the
convention its honors.
But officers must be nominated—
■ -otandard-bearers in this great con
flict must be named—and the people
expect their delegates to do their
duty regardless of the disappoint
ment of anybody, and we know that
it will be done and done well. Of
course there will -be many disap
pointed aspirants—nothing more
natural; but we do not believe that
suqh disappointment will check the
ever-zealous energy of any Demosr.t
in the party from enthusiastic work
in the cause. Rather will their sor
row be turned into rejoicing, and
like the Spartan they may feel thank
ful that there were better men in the
party than they.
Above all things, in this campaign,
let harmony, prevail in otfr ra
