Cairpll County Times, j
~By EDWIN R. SHARPE. !
Owing to our high respect for •
(fOVi Colquitt and his friends in
this county we have dealt with him
heretofore very gently. It was our ■
wish to see the election of delegates j
pass oh' quietly without any feeling of
bitterness. But since the governor j
has seen, proper to come over here
just before the election and stir up
tilings in a speech full of passion
and feeling, we partially take off
our gloves this week. We 'trust,!
however, that we will not be be
trayed into anything like passion
us the Governor was, and that we i
shall not be guilty of referring to
our friends who support Gov. Col
quitt as ‘‘slanderers,” as “dogs,”
“hounds, setters and pointers.”—
AVe never expect to befoul our pa
per with any such epithets in deal
ing with those who oppose us.
It was Thomas Jefferson who
said that he could tolerate every
thing but intolerance and Thomas
Jefferson was right. It is the har
dest thing in the world to tolerate
Intolerance. We can admire an
honest and manly opponent, who
can give a reason for the faith that
is in him, but one of these narrow,
little souled men who believes that
everybody that differs from him
in politics is a slanderer, caviller
etc, we cant tolerate. As one of
our exchanges says; “Every man
,is entitled to his own opinion on
matters of personal preference, and
the right to give expression to it is
one of his birthright privileges.—-
We extend this to others, and we
intend to exercise it for ourself.
Nothing is more absurd than the
falling out of friends because
of political differences.”
Here are some warnings from
history that it would do well for
the reader to stop and re
flect over a minute. They
are from the wise Macauley : “The
World is governed by associations.
Dereliction in public office will ever
be unpopular, and if Christianity
is used as a defense to every griev
ance, it will in turn come itself
to be considered a grievance, and
grow to be as unpopular as the
abuses it is used to protect.” Let
us have no “cant,” in Georgia pol
itics;
A Congressional convention has
been called to meet in Borne on the
18th August for the purpose of
nominating a democratic candidate
for congress. Felton will undoubt
edly be in the field and hot times
may be expected again in that dis
rrict. The organized claim that
they are going to beat Felton this
time, but it occurs to us, that we
have heard such a claim put for
ward before.
k
Honest Indian now : If you had
a clerk and he was to spend
one-half or three-fourths of his time
Running over the country, wouldn't
.you discharge him? AVell then
how can you sustain Gov. Colquitt,
when he spends a good portion of
his time away from the executive
office, trotting around the State
electioneering. Be fair in this
thing. He is a servant of the peo
ple and should be at his post.
“AVe have information from La-
Grange,” says the Columbus Times,
“that a negro named Henry C.
Lindsay, of that place, announces
himself as a Bepublican candidate
for Congress from this district.—
There are no developments yet as
to what interest the Bepublican
party will take to secure his elec
tion ; nevertheless it stands the
Democracy to kep a watch that no
Republican be allowed to slip, in.”
Hon. Allen Fort has withdrawn
from the contest for the nomination
for congress from the Third Con
gressional district, leaving the
field without opposition to Gen.
Phil Cook.
The Democratic National Com
mittee met last week in New York
and organized by electing AVm. 11.
Barnnm of Connecticut permanent
chairman and F. O. Prince of
Massachusettes, secretary.
The nominating convention for
this Congressional district, as will
be seen by the call published else
where, will be held on the 25th of
August at LaGrange, Georgia.

A JliUlor Tiial liovornor Colquitt
Upon,
Some of the anti-Colquitt men
stood an hour and a half patiently
on last Tuesday in the Court
House to hear the Governor and
the main objection u”ged against
his administration was never touch
ed upon. lie touched upon many
things, the most of which Were new
to his hearers, and he made an art
ful appeal to the passions and prej
udices but he never touched in all
that hour and a half upon the fact,
that in his administration, in the
year 18 ( 9, wheq the Legisla
ture met, it was left to it to smell
out and unearth the grossest cor
ruptions, right under his very nose,
in the comptroller’s and treasurer’s
departments, over which by the
constitution of the State he has
special supervision.
When the Governor went into
office he took an oath to support
the constitution and now here is a
part of the constitution which we
wish all to read carefully:
“He (the Governor) may require
information, in writing, from the
officers in the executive department
on any subject relating to the du
ties of their respective offices. It
shall be the duty of the Governor,
quarterly and oftener if he deem it
expedient, to examine, under oath,
the treasurer and comptroller gen
eral of the state, on all matters
pertaining to their respective offi
ces, and to inspect and review their
books and accounts.”
As will be seen the language of
the constitution, is, that he should
examine the comptroller and treas
urer quarterly, under oath, on all
matters pertaining to their office,
The question arises could he
have examined the comptroller, as
specified by the constitution, and
found nothing wrong and every
thing so correct that not even a
suspicion Was aroused ? AVell
if he did all we have got to say, is,
that he is a poor examiner and we
had better put somebody else in
his place. It didn’t take the Leg
islature long to get on track of
these frauds right under his nose
and to unearth them to public
gaze.
Again could he have examined
the treasurer under oath and have
inspected his books without discov
ering the whereabouts of the states
money and that the books showed
no interest placed to the credit of
the state. And would not the facts
that the banks held the money
suggest the inquiry what they are
paying for it and further inquiry
revealed the whole matter. It
seems to us that such would have
been the result, if a good business
man had looked into it carefully.
AVhat is the object of this provis
ion of the constitution, if not to
make the Governor responsible for
the proper management of those
departments. If it requires im
possibilities of the Governor let
it be taken off the book, if not,
let us hold him responsible for its
proper execution,
“Colquitt or Blood.”
“Yes, we must have Colquitt at
any cost. All the pride that is in
Georgians cry out for his vindi
cation. Colquitt or blood must
be the watchword.”
The above is from one of Gov.
Colquitt’s organs published at Du
pont in the lower part of the State
and we print it as a specimen of
the phrenzy some of his followers
have worked themselves into. But
what more • could be expected
when the Governor himself de
nounces the thousands of honest
Democrats who disapprove of his
administration, in the severest of
terms. Such stuff as the above is the
legitimate result of the Governor’s
passionate and indiscreet talk.
Four years ago The Times sup
ported Gov. Colquitt in preference
to all other men in the State for
Governor. AVe now oppose him,
because we believe after being tried
he has been found inefficient. It is
with reluctance that we have opposed
his renomioation, but we believe
that there are other men in the
State bettor fitted for the office,
and as a conscientious journalist,
desirous of promoting the best mtef'
ests of the people, we protest
against his renomination.
In the counties that have select
ed delegates the past week, Gov.
Colquitt has got the most of them.
AVhile be will go into the conven
tion with a majority, we hardly
think he will get two-thirds, and
like Grant and Tilden in the Chi
cago and Cincinnati conventions,
he will be put aside and some man
aceeptable to all selected as the
standard bearer.
IT*ecnt (oil.
AVas there ever in the history of
Georgia any viler abuse heaped up
on any class of men than is now
being poured out upon the heads of
those who see proper to oppose
Gov. Colquitt’s administration ? If
there is anybody persecuted in this
campaign, so far as this county is
concerned, it certainly is not Gov.
Colquitt, hut those who oppose him.
AVe refer all to Gov. Colquitt’s
speech on last Tuesday, which
abounded in such words as “slan
derers, ’ “dogs,” “yellow eyed
cats.”
V\ e would like to know
j what Governor Colquitt means
by using such language as
the above, when referring to his
opponents, for if it wasffit intended
for those, who was it intended for
in this community 3 Does he want
to break up the Democratic part} r
in Georgia ? He certainly is not
trying to harmonize it by using
such language. How can he ex
pect those thus denounced to sup
port him if nominated. There are
many men who heard that speech
, who were not violently opposed to
him, that have been made bitter by
;it and w ill never vote for him un
; der any circumstances. They do
j not propose, like whipped spaniels,
to lick the hand that smites them
their manhood will not permit it.
Gov. Colquitt in his speech laid
great stress upon the improvement
of the finances of the state under
his administration. Now the truth is
that the state did owe $350,000
when he went in, but it has collec
ted from extraordinary sources,
none of which he should be cred
ited with, $852,972. Here are the
parties who should be credited for
getting this amount in the treasury:
First, the railroad taxes amounting
to $174,243, was collected through
the courts by Bob Toombs in ac
cordance with with a hill carried
through the Legislature by Sen
ator McDaniel. So to'Toombs and
McDaniel belong the credit for
that. Next come the claims col
lected from the Federal government
|by Alston and Tuggle amounting
in the aggregate to $213,730. The
i effort to get the first of these
claims was begun and about consnm
| mated under Smith’s administra
j tion, and the Governor himself
i admitted that Tuggle discovered
the latter, so we see he should not
be credited with either of the
| above. Then comes the $215,000
received from the net income of
the Macon A Brunswick railroad
and which had never before been
received by the State, Everybody
agrees that this should be credited
to George AV. Adams, the efficient
i superintend ant of the road. And
last comes the sale of the Macon A
\ Brunswick road, which paid into
i the treasury $250,000 and which
; sale was in accordance with an act
;of the Legislature. Is there any
j reason why Gov. Colquitt should
I claim great credit for paying off
| $350,000 when through the sale of
j a portion of its pr operty and the
collection of its old debts $852,-
972 had been brought into the treas
ury of the State to pay it with.
