But a Great Mani
W ASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7th.
It is not too much to say that the
appearance of General Hancock’s
letter of acceptance, followed by
the publication of his remarkable
letter to General Sherman, has pro
duced a feeling of depression, al
most of despair, among the thou
sands of office-seekers here, whose
bread and butter depends upon his
defeat. Republicans had begun to'
recover from the shock of what all
admitted was a strong and wise
nomination. Their splendid organ
ization, if not proof against defeat,
was, at least, proof against a com
plete rout in the beginning of the
campaign. Their boundless re
sources, used effectively, had stim
ulated the most faint-hearted, if not
with confidence, at least with hope.
An improved action was beginning
to be felt in the .re-lubricated ma
chine, But to have their own
guns captured and turned against
them would have been Joo much
for the steadiest discipline and
most splendid morale.
The chieftest danger to Demo
cratic success now is, that the par
ty will trust too much to the invul
nerability of their leader. Gener
al Hancock’s unimpeachable record
in war and in peace, his undoubted
ability, which makes him, even in a
private letter discussing national
affairs in a most critical period,
talk with the direct simplicity of a
soldier and the profound insight of
a statesman, has silenced the argu
ment that he was a military man
merely, and unfitted to measure
and weigh the great questions that
modern civilization propounds to
executive statesmanship. That ar
gument was futile against Grant,
even after he had justified it by the
most deplorable presidential term
in our history, and those who have
been using it with inane iteration
against Hancock were the very per
sons whom neither the theory nor
the practice could convince in two
terms of Grant, but who endeavor
to give him a third term.
That General Garfield is morally
oblique the Credit Mobilier and De-
Golyer episodes, but especially the
electoral commission history, show.
I have been taken to task for deny
ing in a former letter, that he was
a man of great intellect. We
judge intellects by comparison. I
have seen and heard the Republi
can candidate in various situations
during the last seven years. I have :
also had an opportunity to compare
him with other men who have '
achieved greatness, as called, like
Thurman ; or been born great, like '
Don Cameron ; or have have had
greatness forced upon, them, like
Acklen, Spencer and Patterson of
the Solid South. Compared with
I the three latter I think Garfield is
a great man. but as compared with '
Thurman, Gladstone and Gambet- ,
ta he is like the combined littleness j
of Acklen, Spencer and Patterson.
But my assertion proves nothing.
Well, as Carlyle said of the admir
ers of a great novelist: “Those to
whom he is great may, with all |
innocence, think him so.’’ His
ablest apologists, the New York
Nation, was open in its contempt
of the weakness of his letter of ac
ceptance. No one has ever sup
posed that the fraudulent executive j
was a great man, and yet his letter j
of acceptance was a phalanx of
principle, an array of splendid
i promises, and a much more effective
, document than anything Garfield ■
I has uttered or is capable of utter
ing.
The spite, jealousy, bitterness,
bad feeling and heart-burning
oaused by this latest exhibition of
personalism in the party will not
entirely disappear for years to
ooine. Have we reached a point
when the grand Democratic party
of Georgia hangs upon so slight a
thread as the nomination of one
man ? Can we not for one day
sink the partisan in the patriot,
subordinate personalism to a prin
ciple, and vindicate the whole party j
by working for the good of the 1
party and of the State ? 1
CARROLLTON GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1880.
HENATOB DAVID DAVIS.
Hi* Opinion or Gen. Hancock,
Washington, August B.—The
following was made public to-day
by Air. Harvey:
Bloomington, 111., August 4.
My Dear Sir: The training and
habits of my life naturally led me to
prefer civilians to soldiers for great
civil trusts, but as the parties ‘ are
organized, voters must choose be
tween the candidates present,
or stand aloof indifferent and neu
tral, which no good citizen ought
to do at a presidential election. I
have no hesitation in supporting
Gen. Hancock. For the best of
reasons to my mind because his
election will put an end to section
al strife, and to sectional politics,
and will revive the patriotic senti
ment all over the land which polit
ical leaders and factions for sinister
ends have sought to prevent. There
can be no permanent prosperity
without pacification. Great as were
the achievements of Gen. Hancock
in war, his conduct in peace, when
in command of Louisiana and Tex
as, in 1867, was still greater, and
justly commends him to the confi
dence of the , country. That was
a time 'when passion ruled in public
councils and military power was ex
erted to silence civil authority. The
temptation was strong to sail with
the current, for an inflamed part
isan opinion was too ready to con
done the excesses and to applaud
the oppression.
General Hancock's order No. 40,
in assuming charge of the fifth mil
itary district, announced the right,
of trial by jury, the habeas corpus,
the liberty of the press, the freedom
of speech,' natural rights of persons
and rights of property must be re
spected. These principles are the
basis of a free government, and the
proclamation of them by Gen. Han
cock stands out in striking contrast
with the action of his superior, who
soon after rebuked and drove him
from that command for uttering
sentiments worthy of all honor. —
The soldier clothed with extraordi
nary power voluntarily uncovered
before the civil authority, sheathed
his sword, testified his fidelity to
the constitution, and set an exam
ple of obedience to law which will
pass into history as his proudest
claim to distinction. The man who,
in midst of excitements of that
stormy period, was cool enough to
do his duty clearly and courageous
enough to execute it firmly, may be
well trusted in any crisis.
His letter to General Sherinan,
recently’;brought to light, lift Gen
eral Hancock far above the past
appreciation of his civil ability.—
It marks him as one of the wisest
of his time, with a statesman great
of mind and with the integrity of
a patriot whom no sense of ex
pediency could swerve from his
honest convictions.
Long and unchecked possession
of power by any party leads to ex
travagance, corruption and loose
practices. After twenty years of
domination by the republicans,
chronic abuses have become fasten
ed upon the service like barnacles
on the bottom of a stranded . ship.
There is no hope of reform by the
leaders who have created a system
of mal.administration, and who are
interested in perpetuating its evils.
Nothing short of the sternest rem
edy gives any promise of an effec
tive reform, and the first step toward
it is a change of rulers. The gov
ernment must be got out of the ruts
in which it has too long been run.
New blood must be infused into
the management of public affairs
before relief can be expected. The
people demand a change, and,
being in earnest, they are likely to
be gratified.
Very sincerely,
[Signed] David Davis.
To Hon. James E. Harvey.
The Convention'* Kesponsiibilily.
“It will be with the convention
which assembles on the 4th of Au
gust to Jetermine whether existing
dissensions shall be continued to
final disruption, and the party be ,
precipitated into a bitter, angry!
personal canvass; or whether those
dissensions shall cease, and a nomi
nation be made which will secure a
harmonious canvass to the party,
and resultingin an election that will
give the state an administration
which shall be strong in the united |
confidence and support of the peo
ple. If the delegates come togeth
er animated by a desire to advance
the personal desires or ambitions
of pets or favorites, the worst evils
will follow. But if they come!
together resolved to remember that
their supreme obligation is to rep
resent the whole party, and work
for the good of all, they’ will
render a service worthy of patriots,
and all the people will have cause
to bless them.” —Benj. IL Hill.

That Venerable Roman.
, Hon. Pat Walsh, in one of his
, speeches before the convention,
had something pretty to say about
about an old fellow who used to
[ go gallivanting over the world,yell
ing in everybody's ear, “I am a
. Roman citizen !” We have a dis
, ' tinct recollection of that old Ro-
! mail. We have heard Yancey,
Stephen A. Douglass, Bob Toombs,
’ I Aleck Stephens and others
[. ' speak of the old gentleman in the
very highest terms. But at the
‘ • risk of appearing captious and un
’ appreciative, we here take occasion
} I to denounce that loquacious and
1 egotistical old Ro.nan as a
regular fraud of the first water.
There is nothing about him to
excite admiration. There *s no
. record of his ever doing a solitary
1 thing bevond boasting of the fact
. that he was a Roman citizen, and,
( admitting that assertion to be ab
solutely true, it is hy no means
I certain that he was a good citizen.
■ln fact, his loquacity would indi
i cate that he was an idle gossip,
| and probably an ordinary loafer
. 1 who dovoted his time to the discus
, sion of ward politics and free lunch.
From the monotony of his conver
sation it is pretty certain that he
didn't read the daily papers, for he
1 never had a word to say about any
I matters of great public interest. And
yet, such is the frivolous character
of the public itiind, that dilapidated
old Roman bids fair to outlive Cic
' ero himself in the memory ol
mankind, We are not informed
that, there was anything striking
about the man. He was probably
. a stubby, kinky-headed, sallow-faced
hook-nosed fellow, clad in a
second-hand toga—a fellow who
hung around the beer saloons all
day, and humbugged his wife when
he went home at three in the morn
’ i ing, by trying to make her believe
that he had been to the Lodge-*—
a fellow who poked his nose into
everybody’s business and tried to
i bully-rag his neighbor by holding
’ out the idea that he was the only
j genuine, unadulterated Roman cit
izen in existence. Such a man
would not have been anythinghut a
nuisance. What an unmitigated bore
he must have been to the Roman
editors ! How he must have annoy
' | ed the telephone company by send-
1 ing his sterot.yped boast over their
lines ! Passengers used to get out
of the street cars and walk home
to avoid him. He was doubtless
a chronic office-seeker, always de-
; mandinga vinidication, and pointing
s to his Roman citizenship as his on
ly platform.
The Hod. Pat Walsh is a level
headed editor, hut we cannot join
him in any attemfpt to bring his
i old Roman into the crowded arena
’of Georgia politics. We have a
j sufficient number .of fossils on hand
1 now without trotting out another.
; The introduction of such a factor
: in our political campaign should be
carefully guarded against.
In a speech made by Air. Pendle
i ton at Cincinnati recently, he said :
“Mr. Jefferson, eighty years ago,
defined a Democrat as one who
maintains equa l and exact justice to
all men ; the support of the State i
governments in all their rights ; the 1
preservation of the General Gov
eminent in its whole constitutional
1 vigor; a jealous care of the right
of election by the people; absolute
acquiescence in the decisions of the
majority ; the supremacy of the civ
il over the military authority ; econ
omy in the public expense; the
honest payment of our debts, and '
the sacred preservation of the pub-'
lie faith ; freedom of religion ; free-
! dom of the press ; freedom of the :
: person unier the protection of the
j habeas corpus, and trials by juries
impartially selected.” This is the
very portrait of Hancock. He is
the incarnation of the supremacy
jof the civil over the. military au- ■
thoritv. He is the embodiment of
, the definition of civil liberty.

He came to the door on tiptoe,
and cautiously poking his head in,
in a suggestive sort of way, as if
there was more to follow, inquired : (
“Is this the rinktum?”
“How's that, sir

Dr. ramirr’s Fait.
New York, Airgust 7.—Dr.
Tanner is in a good condition and
will undoubtedly complete bis fast
at noon. A large crowd is in at
tend ance. At 11 o'clock he stood
at the window on Thirteenth street
looking at the crowd in the streets.
A few minutes previously he’walk
ed one lap around the hall. His
brat ler-in-law, Al. AL Gardiner,
| called on him this morning, llis
j visit seemed to make the faster nerv
ous, and he complained of a gone- 1
ness in his stomach. At 7 o'clock
this morning he had a fit of vomit
i ing. He then got up and dressed,
jAt 7:30 fie was much exhausted
i and lay down on his cot. He re
! mained in this position until 10:15,
: when he went into the lower hall,
i After the walk he k£ain laid down
and was covered with a blanket.—
At 10:50 he arose and walked into '
the front room. A large table of
watermelons, fruits, bread, etc., is
i spread in the hall.
New York, August 7.—Dr. ;
Tanner completed his 40th day's
fast at noon to-day. As Soon as the j
■ time was up the crowd cheered Tan- j
i ne.r enthusiastically. About 1,000 .
' persons were in the hall and an etii
mense crowd ou the sidewalk. He
at once drank a "lass of milk and
c 5
called for a Georgia watermelon.—
This ho tapped and dug his hand ,
I into and ate heartily of. When
remonstrated with he asked to be '
i left alone saying : “No, my Lord, '
i I am, running this now.” When he
placed the glass of milk to his'
mouth he remarked, “gentlemen ’
you .don’t believe that’s good.”
Tiie signal for the expiration of
the fast was a whistle from the fac
tory in the vicinity. When it blew
Tanner had a peach in his hand,
but before he could put it in his
month somebody snatched it away
from him. In response to the plau
dits of the assemplage, Tanner, who
was sitting on a chair placed upon 1
the table, raised his hankerchief
over his head. Ata quarter past ’
twelve, Tanner got down from the 1
table and left the hall, in a coach,
in charge of Dr. Gunn, who took
him to his own residence where he :
will undergo careful medical treat
ment. During the morning about
1 ,000 persons visited the hall. Just
before noon his temperature wa§
found to be 99, pulse 92, and respi
ration 17.
Tanner’s weight at the end of the
fast was 121| pounds, showing a
loss of 39 pounds during the forty
days.
On leaving the hall the Doctor
walked unassisted down stairs with
a slice of melon in his hand. He
received an ovation from the crowd
in the street, shops and windows,
and exhibited mueft gratification at
the hearty reception. Ke ordered
the cover of the carriage thrown
back, and joked and talked with
the crowd that surrounded the ve-'
hide. After two or three dozen ,
persons had grasped his hand the
two accompanying physicians had
to grasp him hy the arm to hold
him in his seat to prevent him from I
tiring himself out, as they feared
serious reaction from exertion. On !
reaching the residence of Dr. Gunn, 1
Dr. Tanner at once lay down in the
front parlor and endeavored to
sleep. The milk and watermelon 1
had not disagreed with him. Dr.
Gunn himself is reported ill through i
over-exertion. At 2:20 he was
resting quietly in good condition.
He has eaten of watermelon in
small quantities three or four times
without deleterious effect.
New York, August 7.—At 3:30
Dr. Tanner drank one ounce of •
light Hungarian wine, after which
he ate a small slice of watermelon.
At 4:30 he was eating with great
relish a piece of beef steak. He
did not swallow the fibre, but only
partook of the juice of the meat. —
He saw no visitors daring the after
noon, and it was reported that he
was in excellent spirits.
From the Atlanta Poet of the Bth luet.
Tilden’s Example.
When the national democratic
convention met in Cincinnati, it
was conceded by a majority of
democrats all over the Union that
Air. Tilden bad the strongest per
sonal claims upon the party that
any man could possibly have. Mr.
[ Tilden had been elected to the
presidency, and cheated out of it,
and in his person the entire dem
ocratic party had been wronged
and insulted. The nomination of
Mr. Tilden would have been an act
of justice.
But a respectable minority of the
party opposed such a renutnina
tion, declared that they would not
support Mr. Tilden—that it was a
matter of principle with them, but
for the sake of harmony they would
support any good democrat the
majority would propose. This was
an emergency which required
' great discretion and patriotism to
meet. The burden of the occasion
was not allowed to rest entirely
upon the convention. Air. Tilden,
Avith a spirit of patriotism and
self-sacrifice rarely ever witnessed
withdrew his name and left the
! convention free from the distnrb
' ing element of his candidacy. The
anti Tilden men were made thor
oughly organized Democrats by
! this grand concession, and are now
standing shoulder to shoulder with
the rank and file of the party.
The lesson taught by Air. Til
den’s example ought to have prof
ited the democratic party of Geor
gia. Gov. Colquitt has, in reality,
no claims upon the party. He has
! been well rewarded for all his past
services. If he had felt one spaik
‘of Tilden’s patriotism he would :
have withdrawn his name from the
: gubernatorial campaign long ago.
Even while the convention was in
s session—even now, at this late hour,
Gov. Colquitt’s withdrawal would
secure harmony and democratic suc
cess, and the Governor would win 1
• strong friends who would feel a de- j
! sire to stand by him in the future. !
; Why cannot Gov. Colquitt rise to
1 the full height of this great occa
sion, and follow the course dicta-
I ted by duty, patriotism and the
be st considerations of party policy ?
Tens of thousands of good dem
ocrats all over Georgia are asking
this question every hour during
this momentous dav.

To Develop Talent.
Place a man in a position that
will fearfully tax him and try him,
a position that will often bring the
, blush to his cheek and the sweat to
, his brow, a position that will over
master him at times, and cause him
to rack his brain for resources.—
Place him in a position like this.—
But every time he trips go to his
rescue; go not with words of blame
or censure, but go with manful
words of encouragement; look him
boldly in the eye, and speak them
with soul and emphasis. This is
, the way to make a man out of a
boy, and a giant out of a man. If a
I man has pluck and tglent, no mat
; ter whether he ever filled a given
position or not, put him in it, if
worthy, and he will soon not only
fill it, but outgrow it. But put
one in a position with a faint heart.
This is the way to kill him. Put
him in grandly with most unmistak
able confidence. Drop no caveats,
but boldly point the way, and then •'
stand by with a will anil counten-!
ance of a true friend. Thus try I
twenty menj such as have been!
named, and nineteen will succeed. I
Gen. Will iam O. Butler died re- i
cently at his home in Carrollton,
Ky., in the ninetieth year of his
age. Gen. Butler was on the Pres
idential ticket as a candidate for
Vice-President with Gen. Cass for
President in 1848. He had been
promenent as a politician before
that time, but after that date his
only appearance in public affairs'
was as a member of the peace conven
tion 1861. In his youth Gen. Butler
had a fondness for poetry which
showed itself in the production of
several pieces of more than ordi
nary merit. The first stanza of
one poem,
“ti-rttman. wi-id th»> horn again, |
For never d d the Hate.nog air
Upon Im lambent, howtanear
So wad, oo aufu eo awet-f a atraln,” |
Carries the mind back to days ’
that antedate steamboats and rail
roads.
Wicked for ( iergrrinen.
“I believe it to he all wrong and ’
even wicked for clergymen or other I
public men to be led into giving
testimonials to quack doctors or
vile stuffs called medicines, but
when a really meritorious article ’
made of valuable remedies <■ known I
to all, that all physiciaus use aim *
trust in daily, we should freely j
commend it. I therefore cheerful- I
ly and heartily commend Hop Bit-'
tern for the good they have done !
me and my friends, firmly believ- ’
ing they have no equal for family 1
use. I will not be without them.” ,
