JUDGE BUSH AND THE NEW
NOMINATION.
At a meetinMield in tills city last
Saturday, was placed
before the people as an independent
candidate for Senator, against Maj
jor B. F. Bruton, who is now the
choice of the Democratic and
Liberal Republican parties of the
District. The meeting which nomi
nated him consisted, of about one
dozen people, all r/Sidents of Deca
county. TUfquestion arises just
here, will Jirage Bush accept the
sham. noijJfiation ? We think not.
He bo very foolish indeed
shoiiUrne do so.
But on the other hand, suppose
he does accept and is a Candidate,
what will it unnmut^K? Nothing.
He may in Miller
county but in Decatur
As x#Jm‘\ev make assertions with
out foundation, we will give our rea
sons, why we think he will not be
voted for in the two latter named
counties, and why not to
Ist. He which is
a Grant man.

reasons should be enough
to cause liis repudiation by the vo
ters of the District, but We have still
another reason. He xvas nominated
by about one dozen men in this coun
ty ; Miller and M itchell had noth
ing whatever to do xvith his candi
dacy, and only a fexv dissatisfied par
ties in this city, prominent among
whom is an avowed Grant man.
Should not this cause all honest
men to stop and consider ? If you
vote for Bush, it is a vote for Brim
berry, the traitor.
Wo have not given utterance to
the above through any untrue feel
ings, but because we felt that it was
right for us to do so. Some of the
parties who are connected with the
new movement are particular friends
lof ours, and meu for whom xve en
tertain the very highest respect, but
we think they are misled in the mat
i ter, and we would be glad to see
i them desist.
Think of it, men, if true men you
! be. Are you going to elect Brim
berry—a man who is so lost to all
feelings of a gentleman dnd man of
honor as to sell himself out for office
—by voting for a decoy in the shape
of a third man ? We do not belidve
that the Bush faction have calmly
and seriously thought the matter
over, or they would at once see the
folly and error of which they are
guilty, and stop their infernal fool
ishness.
We ask them a# to think twice
BEFORE TUfeY VOTE ONCE. «
OUR POSITION NOW.
As, perhaps all are aware, the Sun
has used its utmost endeavors in fa
vor of Col. Gee for the Senate, but
now that an honorable arrangement
lias been effected by which Major
Bruton is the choice of the party,
we will be found doing all in our
power to insure his election, and on
the oilier hand defeat, to the traitor
ous .Brimberry. We call on all good
men to rally to the support of Major
Bruton. It' we will but do our duty
we can elect him. It xvill never do
for Brimberry, ono of Clews' aux
iliaries, to go to the Senate. He will
sell us out, as he has sold himself.
As to whether Col. Gee was right
in coming down, we shall not claim
the right to spend an opinion, fur
ther than to say that we believe Gee
to be a good and a true man, and
that he would not for a moment
think of doing anything that is in
imical to the interests of his District.
We had nothing to do with Colonel
Gee’s retiring from the contest, but
as we honestly believe that he was
actuated and moved by principles
purely patriotic; and that he, in his
position, believed it to be best foi
the success of the party, we shall give
Bruton our honest and candid sup
port, and we ask all others to join
us in this determination. We be
lieve it be every one’s duty to sup
port him now.
Then come to the polls- everybody
and triumphantly elect feruton, the
best Senator that ever represented
this District, and a man who can
proudly refer to his recorcjpfor the
past four years.
—i
Letter from Major Bruton.
To the Voters of the Bth Senato
rial District :
My attention has been called to a
communication, over the signatures
of J. W. Curry, Chairman, and Gor
don Bradwall, Secretary, which states
that I “ acted in concert with Bul
lock, Blodgett & Clews in the Senate,
in getting issued the million of dol
lars of fraudulent bonds,” and that I
as proven by my votes am “ in favor
ol sustainiag these illegal bonds and
thus bankrupting the State for all
time to come.” In reference to it, I
beg to say that my young friends are
mistaken.
Let us examine the reasons for
my votes by which they propose to
prove the charge. I voted against
the appointment of the Committee
to investigate bonds because the act
ing Governor informed thd General
AssemblyVand I believed, that there
was sufficient information then on
hand to enable it properly to dis
pose of the bond question. I still
believe so and now think that it
woltld lurie been wise to have saved
the State the cost of the committee,
which has been about $15,000. But
it is said I voted against the bills of
this committee. My vote and effort,
as the record will prove, was to sub
mit the question of legality or illegal
ity of the bonds issued and indorse
ments to the Supreme Court of Geor
gia. It is a Democratic court. Are
gentlemeii afraid to trust it ? My
reason for wishing to submit the
question to the Supreme Court was
to get it out of the Legislature and
politics, and thus in the most appro
priate way finally dispose of a mat
ter that might, with it3 corrupting
influences, from the amount involved,
disturb the legislation of the State
for fifty years to come. Clews & Cos.
I imagine would be the last to desire
the courts to pass on the question,
and to finally and irrevocably settle
it. Was 1 wrong in this ? Another
charge made outside, is that I intro
duced a resolution to provnjn for
sending troops in our
resolution referred to was just the
one to avoid such a calamity, and not
a word of complaint has been heard
against mb on account of it until
now. Think of that, please. It wa3
in the power of Bullock with milita
ry at his back at the capitol to send
out soldiers into communities at his
own will. This resolution (read it
for yourselves) prevents his doing
so except upon the affidavit of the
sheriff of the county in which they
might be needed, and then only upon
permission of the War Department
at Washington. I am now blamed it
seems for, as far as possible, keep
ing power in the hands cf the civil
authorities, and for undertaking to
deprive Bullock of his worst instru
ment of tyranny. Under the cir
cumstances would you have done
less ? The resolution never passed
—it was killed by a Radical Legis
lature. Again I ask was I wrong ?
I know not what other reports my
political enemies may start and use
against me. I answer only the
charges that have been brought to
me, and beg that all mv old acquaint
ances and friends may believe noth
ing at this late hour without indis
putable proof.
B. F. BRUTON.
Go to the Foils !
Re ad the stirring appeal of Hon.
Thomas Hardeman, Jr., Chairman
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, in another column of to
days' issue, and govern yourselves
accordingly. The interests of the
State demands that every Democrat
shall do his duty on to-morrow, and
that duty is to go to the Polls, vote
the Democratic tiket and induce as
many more to do so as possible. Let
there be no laggards, but let each
one be up send doing ,and a glorious
triumph will be secured.
FOB THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL.
BAINBRIDGL GA. } OCTOBER st’j • 1872.
To the Democratic-Conservative
Party of the Sth Senatorial Dis
trict :
Bain fridge, Gv, Sept. 27,1872.
As I am no longer yewr candidate for
the Senate. I deem it due to you to issue
this address, explaining the circumstances
under which I have ceased to be so.—
When I accepted the trust from the party
mutual pledges were majJjß. It was well
khowrt that victory cowd won by
united «M«1 harreoaiJus co-opeJ/'jlb with
the candidate of the party, and this was
pledged to me. On my part I promised
thatzealou3, energetic action, both of body
and mind, in the campaign, which would
be actuated by the si nee rest devotion to
the principles of the party that had thus
honored me. How well that pledge has
been redeemed up to the day of the ceas
ing of my candidacy, I do not fear to risk
the impartial judgment of the party. As
to the manner in which the party has re
deemed its pledge to its candidate, 1 have
no charges to prefer agaiust it, but only to
point to those facts and circumstances
which ai’e necessary to the vindication of
my own course, and 1 trust may also be a
Vindication of the course of that large
number of the party, particularly in my
own county, Mitchell, by whose action (
have been induced to pursue the course
that I have. At the time of my nomina
tion Maj. B. F. Bruton, of Decatur, was
and had been for some time previously, a
Liberal Republican independent candidate
for the Senate. Soon alter my nomina
tion lion. Israel Maples, of Mitchell, my
own county, announced himself as an inde
pendeiit candidate for the same office.—
There were therefore now three condidates
in the field, each drawing their support
from the Democratic-conservative party.
The Liberal Republican independent
candidate unassisted by circumstances, may
not have drawn such a large share of sup
port from our own party, as to have oc
casioned alarm for We success of the par
ty candidate ; but there were circumstan
ces to assist him. There was dissatisfac
tion amounting to opposition to my can
didacy in my own county. (The reasons
need not be given here, it is enough that
it weakened the support of the party can
didate.) For good reasons this dissatisfied
element did not align itself with the inde
pendent candidate in Mitchell, Mr. Maples
but with the supporters of Maj. Bruton.
This, added to Mr. Bruton's strength
already acquired in the county, necessari
ly gave him a large and very influential
support in Mitchell county.
The influence thus acquired in Mitchell
county soon commenced to be felt in De
catur county, and he began consequently
more largely to draw from tlie support of
the party candidate on the idea of his
being the strongest man in the field. How
ever erroneous this impression might have
been, it was nevertheless felt and excited
alarm in the party, especially*in the coun
ties of Mitchell and Decatur. This alarm
was manifested by personal appeals coming
thick and fast from both counties, for a
compromise by which but one candidate
should occupy the field.
All of the compromises tendered to me
I constantly refused,saying that a compro
mise could only be made with the party
that had made me its candidate ; that I
could not act for myself, but proposed for
the sake of harmony to resubmit ray can
didacy to the party of the District.
In the midst of all these disputes and
wrangliugs in the party, late in the cam
paign, the Radical candidifte for the Sen-
Btimberry. of Mitchell county,
This culminated the ex
citement in the equities fcjf Mitchell and
Decatur. * i
The Radical candidate was a sharp, wiry
man, and from this very fact the more
dangerous on account of his known want
oi' pol^^dcharacter.
FroSßffigso strong a I'eiAcrat that
he thought negroes had no would
furnish guns to kill them at
difficulty, he had turned for office to be
the most rampant Radical, and there was
no danger to the State and her people and
to the good order, peace and prosperiiy of
Mitchell county that hefr citizens did
not fear from isuth a source. Now came
not only requests, but strong appeals, yes.
almost demands from the county of Mit
chell ou the candidate of the party, and
her own independent candidate to submit
to some compromise that the Radical can
didate might be defeated. It was further
urged ou them that a failure to settle the
Senatorial difficulty would perpetuate
those feuds in the county which would ef
fect the election for Representatives in the
county.
An appeal in reference to the effect of
two candidates in the field on the election
for the Legislature also came from Decatur
county. In the county of Mitchell the
reeling wife intense and almost unanimous.
Those friends who had stuck to me the
closest began to yield under the pressure,
until it apeeared few were left, or at least
verv few gave any encouragement. J Huge
Maples yielded to the voice of his county
but withdrew in the other iudje-
dendent candidate, Maj. Bruton. The
pressure then was more directed on the
party candidate, and I began to feel that I
might be acting more from Self pride than
j f° r country and my partie s good, in
thus withholding my consent to submit to
j the appeals for compromise, coming al-
I most Unanimously from the party of my
, own county and so large a portion of the
party in Decatur.
What was I to do ?
"It was now late in the Campaign—not
many days to the election. The party in
the three counties could not be consulted.
I consented to what appea *ed to me the
best method of getting at the views of the
party.
An arbitration wits called to be com.
posed of four from each county, two cho
sen by the independent candidate Major
Bruton and two by myself.
This day Friday was chosen as the day
for the arbitrators to meet.
The arbitrators chosen by myself from
Miller refused to act and the arbitration
failed.
Another appeal late in the day was made
by the friends of a settlement. Tue Mifffh
ell county delegation said they could not
return without the news that their was
only one candidate in the field. I sent the
terms this time proposed to my strong par.
ty friends who had steadily opposed a set
tlement on party principle, among them
Col. Fleming, chairman of the Party Ex
ecutive Committee Decatur County.
His answer to me was that he could not
advise me as a party man, for tny action
in such a matter could not be binding on
the party ; but that he saw the difficulty—
w ithout compromise he believed defeat
was inevitable and that bethought I could
without dishonor or the betrayal of party,
under the circumstances, submit the ques
tion to arbitration, which would simply
amount if decided against me to my with
drawal and not imposing a candidate on
the party.
That arbitration by trie umpire Capt.
Geo. W. Lewis decided against me and in
favor of Maj. B. F. Bruton of Decatur
county.
There are now bbt twe‘ candidates in tin,
field, Maj. B. F. Bruton, the Liberal Re
publican, who certainly ia this contest has
developed a strong support from and hold
on the confidence of the Democratic parry,
and B. F. Brimberry, a most unprincipled
and dangerous Radical.
At the time of taking the steps by which
I have been retired from the contest I had
heard nothing to make me suspicion that
Maj. Bruton would be objectionable to any
large portion of the Democratic Conserva
tive party, but on the contrary much to
suppose that particularly in Decatur coun
ty, for local reasons especially, he would
have been the favorite. I am consoled
however, by tlie reflection that I have
done no harm to the party. If I had con
tinued in the field the Radical Brimberry
would have been elected. If two candi
dates remain in the field, it cannot happen
worse than the election of Brimberry—it
may happen for the better by the election
of Major Bruton. I will myself give Maj.
Bruton my hearty support and can see no
hope of success save in the party’s
doing the same!
If I had not thought there was a choice
between the candidates that would have
been left in the field I could not have
taken the course that I have, unless for the
local reasons existing in my own county.
The reasons for my course is now explained,
and I hope satisfactorily. I have done
nothing that my conscience, patriotism and
judgment does not approve and I do not
fear to appeal from the record as it is made
to the consciences, patriotism and judg
ment ofythe party.
I cannot close without saying due word
iu reference to party unity.
Let this case stand upon its own merits.
Let it not be a precedent to be appealed to
in the future. The circumstances that
created the necessities for my action, might
have been avoided if love of party honor
and discipline had controlled personal feuds
and local prejudices. Let us guard against
the same error in the future.
If the fruits of my defeat and humilia
tion from the wan; of party loyalty shall
conduce to the future good of the party I
will rejoice at my sacrifice.
Truly, your ob t servant.

Macon, September 23 1872.
On the second day of October
next a battle will be fought in Geor
gia, that will decide whether yon will
be freeman or slaves. The resu t
thereof will depend upon youi own
will and bearing. Radicalism has
marshaled her forces for the conflict
and is confident of victory. Tue
enemy must be met and driven from
the field. Victory is sure if yen dis
charge your duty—defeat awaits
you if you are laggard and inactive.
Would you save your .State from
misrule and oppression ?Go to the
Polls. Would vou prevent Radical
usurpation and carpet-bag tyrany ?
Go to the Polls. Would you have
sound legislation and constitutional
rule ? Go to the Polls. Would
you have crime punished arid your
State laws administered ? Go to the
Polls. Would you prevent your
people from being burdened with a
debt of seven million of dollars, now
pressed by hungry bo T 1 holders ?
Go ro the Polls. Wdulu you have
a Governor that would protect your
treasure, practice oconomy, execute
your laws, lighten your taxes, en
courage your industrial pursuits,
foster your common schools, elevate
your State ? Again I say Go to the
Polls. Let nothing keep you at
home when your interests aro at stake
and your liberties iu jeopardy. Rely
not upon your success in the past.
The army strong in numbers, may
suffer defeat when the effective force
is diminished by hospital attend
ants and idle campfollowors. Aim
vour sick, carry your lame to the
field, and your aged to the trenches,
and urge each and all to engage ac
tively in the struggle, and a glorious
victory awaits you. Apathy may
causo defeat—and straggling, a
disaster. Up then, and to duty; for
all you hold dear, as a people, de
pends upon the result of the conflict
Arouse your dormant
danger threatens petty
divisions, and with loJR shields,
go iorth to battle against the plun
derers of your treasury, the oppres
sors of your pcoplej the hungry
horde who have waxed fat upon
your earnings, and who arfe seeking
&gain “to rob you in tlie name of
loyalty, and tyranize over you under
the guise of liberty.”
No business plea should justify
your absence from your post on
election clay. Go yourselves and
carry your neighbors and friends
Duty commands it, safety fretjuires
it. The eyes of the Democtacy of
the Union are turned toward you—
falter not—but strike as men, bat
tling for the right, for home and
altar—and victory is yours. A suc
cess in Georgia will encourage the
artrlies upon other fields, who with
you are struggling for constitutional
government and the rights of the
States. In the name of an oppress
ed and impoverished people, in the
name of subverted laws, of violated
justice, of tarnished honor, I invoke
you, my countrymen, in behalf of
the committee I represent—to go
forth to the conflict determined to
route your enemies and secure a
victory (brilliant and decisive) for
Gov. Smith, our worthy standard
bearer, and the gallant men who
with him, are battling for your
rights, yoiir interest and your honor
Again I say go to the polls—to the
polls—and victory is yours.
T. Harmeman, Jp.,

If any man can reconcile it with
hi.s conscience to stay away from the
polls to-morrow, and thereby help
to elect Walker and bis confederates,
he is untrue to his country and is a
traitor deserving the condemnation
of all honest men.

they may have bad an opportunity

■’he payment of the tax for the year
1871 entitles the citizens to vote In the
