The CRmpaigi!-<»tir Position.
We give up the most of our
‘editorial space this week to the ad
dress of the minority in the late
gubernatorial convention, in which,
we think, they make a fair state
ment of the facts, showing why
the convention adjourned without
a nomination, and also giving the
reasons why they put forth the
Hon. Thomas M, Norwood as a
for Governor,
There being no nomination, ev
ery Democrat is left free to make
his choice between the two candi
dates. We shall support Mr. Nor
wood, because we believe a change
of administration would he best for
the interests of Georgia.
We are as much opposed to cor
ruption in the Democratic party as
in the Republican. Several years
ago we op')ps°d Bullock’s adminis
tration, because of its corruption,
and for the same reason vye n°'*v
■oppose Colquitt’s. The investiga
tions of the last Legislature showed
that there never had been in the
State of Georgia a worse state of
affairs than was found at the State
capital then. From our stand
point the Governor of the State
is no mere figure head. The con
stitution and laws of the State put
certain trusts in him in reference
to the management of the various
departments of the State govern
ment, and our idea is, that he
should be held to a rigid account
for the manner in which those
trusts are executed. If Norwood
should be made Governor, we shal|
certainly hold him to a strict ac
count for the management of the
various departments of the State
government, over which the law
has made him supervisor.
There are other things in Gov.
Colquitt's anministration, besides
those alluded to above, which do
not meet our approval and which
we may review* from time to time.
In all that we write, however, in
this campaign, we trust that we
shall be moderate and courteous. —
This is a family quarrel and we do
not see any necessity for any bit
terness in it. So far as we are
concerned we wish to conduct our
part of it in such away that there
shall be no bad blood, after the
October election, and that we may
all be able to come together and go
in with a whoop for Hancock and
English in November.
If we should make any misstate
ments in anything we write, in ref
erence to the opposite side, dir
columns are open for correction,
and we trust our Colquitt friends
will avail themselves of them and
come out like men under their own
proper names and set us right, when
we are in error. This is a fair
proposition and we are generous
enough to believe that the other
side will take this manly way of
meeting us and not traduce qs be
hind our back by saying all sorts
of hard things about us.
itiow it Stands.
Wo learn from the Cohimbus
Times that the announced candi
dates to go before the convention
stands as follows:
Persons has Muscogee 4, Talbot
4, Chattahoochee 2> Douglas 1—
total 11.
Cox has Troup 4, Heard 2, Hir
rw 4, Douglas 1, Meriwether 4
total 15.
Smith has Coweta 4, Campbell
2—total 6.
All of the counties 4iave acted
except Marion and Carroll.
The number of delegates in the
convention will be 38, and if the
two-thirds rale is adopted, it will
take 25| to nominate.
The friends and supporters of
Norwood held a big ratification
meeting in Atlanta oft last Mon
day, at which speeches were made
by Norwood and M. A. Candler.
Norwood made a fine speech, hand
ling the present administration
with gloves off. The Columbus
Enquirer announces a Norwood
ratification meeting in that city on
Saturday night, at which speeches
will be made by Senator Hill and
Gov. Smith.
I he Newnan HerAd saw-that a
convention of the Repubtfu.iA party
w.ll be held in that city on the '25 th
inst., in order to pit o.it a cindi
for Congress in this district.
I THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
-
The Minority States Its Cate and
Put* Its Cause its the Hasids
of the People.
To the People of the State Os
Georgia :—-The gubernatorial con
vention, which assembled here un
der a Call of the state democratic
executive Committee, on the 4th in
stant, as yon well know, failed to
make a nomination of a candidate
for the office of governor, The
duties imposed upon that conven
tion were to nominate a governor,
state house officers and presidential
electors. Ail the duties were per
formed, except that of nominating
a governor. Before the conven
tion there were four can dididates
other than Gov. Colquitt, viz.:
Hons. Rufus E. Lester, Thomas
Hardeman, jr., Gen. L. J. Gartrell
and Judge Hiram Warner.
It was apparent upon the assem
bling of the convention that there
was a majority in favor of Alfred
H, Colquitt. How that majority
was obtained is well known to you.
While ail the other candidates re
mained at home, except Col. Hard
eman and Gen. Gartrell, each of
whom made a few speeches during
the canvass, Governor Colquitt tuok
the stump, and, aided by his
friends canvassed the state at large.
By appealing to the people on the
ground that he was persecuted for
religion’s sake, and the hearing
being ex parte, he succeeded in get
ting a majority of the delegates to
the convention. We will not
pause at this moment to show the
utter fallacy of the position
taken that he was persecuted, but
will content ourselves by simply
referring to the fact that in 1876
the minority of delegates in the
late convention and their constitu
ents over the state, now bitterly
opposed to Governor Colquitt’s ad
ministration unanimously assisted
in electing him by a majority of
80,000. Nothing was then said
about his religion and nothing has
been said since then except by a
few individuals scattered through
out the state, who have
made reference to the fact that he
has too frequently left bis office to
attend religious meetings in the
south and in the north. The true
issue before the people, then and
now, which is the incompetency of
the executive and the scandals
which have grown out of his offi
cial acts during his administration,
was not discussed in that canvass.
By earnest and personal appeals to
friends throughout the state that
majority in the convention
was obtained. We believed that
it was not a fair expression of
your opinion and yet, though so
believing, if Governor Colquitt
could have obtained a two thirds
vote of the convention, the miuori
ity, representing the four other
candidates named above, pledged
themselves upon the floor of the
convention, that they would not
only abide by the nomination, but
would support him as the polls.
On the assembling of theconvon
tion, General P. M. B. Young, a
delegate from Bartow, in advance
of the report of the committee on
rules, announced on the floor, as
the friend of Governor Colquitt,
that the majority desired the adop
tion of the two thirds rule for
nominations, and that he was au
thorized to say it was Governor
Colquitt’s Wish that it should be
adopted, and that Governor Col
quitt would not accept a nomin
ation unless it was made by a
twQ-thirids vote. The committee
then reported the following rule
among others, and the convention,
without debate, adopted it as the
law of the convention :
2. No asm? unai! be placed in n im’nattd i for
any office milesa the delegate proposing shall
state in hi* place that he bis the authority of
the geutieaiaa proposed so to do.
On the first ballot for governor
on Thursday, Governor Colquitt
obtained 208 votes. During
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Mon
day and Tuesday thirty-two ballots
were had, and from the first to the
thirty-first ballot Governor C >l
- vote fluctuated between 205
and 212 and a fraction. The last
ballot, which was had under pecu
liar circumstances, which we will
here after narrate, gave him 220 and
a fraction, as reported by the clerk,
though the minority claim there
was an error in the count in his
favor.
You will observe that by one
of the above rules of the conven
tion, and which were strenuously
objected to by all the opposition to
Governor Colquitt, the convention
was limited in its ballotting to a
choice of one of the five gentle
memen first named for governor,
These rules, were, of course, adop
ted hy majority vote, and that
majority were the friends of Gov
ernor Colquitt. Their object in
adopting that restrictive rule was
clearly to compel the minority in
the end to accept Governor Col
quitt, or nobody. They belived
they could and would thereby
force the minority to abandon their
convictions of right and duty, and
to accept a candidate whom the
minority opposed in principle.—
The minority saw their purpose, as
the sequel proved, and solemnly
resolved that as freemen, charged
with a high trust by you, they
would never surrender so long as
they were denied the right which
I belongs to every free man in
| A merica, to cast his ballot for any
man he may prefer. That tui
i democratic, tyrannical rille, enfor
-1 ced the gag-law and denied td the
minority who Opposed Gov. Col
quitt, freedom of the ballot. A
right which even under Bullock’s
administration was never denied to
a citizen of this state.
I On the second day of the ballot
ing, Dr. H. 11. Carlton, a delega + e
from Clarke, presented to the con
vention the following list of names
of distinguished gentlemen in the
state, every one of whom you will
recognize, at sight of his name, to
be a mar of the highest char liter,
and in every way fit for the office
of governor:
Gen Law tun. Gen Jackson, T M Norwood J
B Cummins, J C C Black. J M Smi h, M H
Blanford. PW -ilexander. M J Crawford O
I A Paeon, Cliff An<lc son, H G Turner, James
jJae»..-on. Aug Reese, Geo Hillynr. G T
I Barnes, H D rucDaniel. W H Dabney. A J
■ Mclntire, A D Haranj ind. M A Candler, D S
■ Ba. r. J >iin [ Hal' R E Ttippe. T G Law
son. Dr Miller, A H Stepbens.N J Hammond,
J II Blount,
and stated to the majority that the
minority were willing to accept
any gentleman whose name was on
the list, and vote for him unan
imously, or for any other good man
in the state on whom the majority
would agree upon. This proposi
tion was repeated times without
, number during the balloting for
governor and was every time met
by jeers and laughs from the ma
jority.
■ On Friday, Hon. Patrick Walsh,
of chinond, the general spokes-
' man of Governor Colquitt, made a
• speech in which he declared that
■ the majority had come there “to
I nominate Alfred H. Colquitt and
i nobody else.”
} On Saturday the minority,
' through Dr. Carlton, offered the
majority the name of Honorable
! Alexander H. Stephens, with the
declaration that if acceptable to the
majority the minority would vote
; for him unanimously. This propo
l sition was met by the derisive ques
j tion, “By what authority is the
name of Mr. Stephens present
|ed to this body ?” and no further
i notice of the offer was taken by the
majority except the cry of “ballot!”
Again Qu Saturday Mr. a
delegate from Putnam, xyho was
earnestly patriotic atfd deprecated
the possibility of adjournment with
out a nomination, put in nomina
tion Judge T. G. La\yson, of Put
nam, asa compromise candidate. He
did so with the assurance of the mi
nority that if Judge Lawsqn sffipulfi
; receive such a vote from the adber-
I cats of Gov. Colquitt as to raise a
I hopn ' f his nomination, the minor
ity would change their vot is to him.
The ballot resulted in only 2^-votes
actually cast for Judge Lawson.
On monday Mr. Imboden, a del-
I egafe from Lumpkin, and a suppor
ter of Col. Lester, made the propo-
• sitiqn to t’ie majority that they
might name any suitable man in
I the state of Georgia, and the mi
' nority would accept him unani
mously. Again on Saturday a
proposition was made by the mi
nority to raise a conference corp-
■ mittee, in which there should be a
I majority of the friends of Gov.
! Colquitt, for the purpose of agreeing
1 upon a name to be presented to he
convention. This proposition
also was met by laughter and cries
of “ballot!” On Monday and on
Tuesday tips proposition was repeat
edly renewed, and every effort made
to induce the majority to consent
to a nomination of smno one else
thaq either of the candidates before
the convention.
J All these efforts were met by a
resolution offered in the'eonvention
Tuesday morning, by the Hon. Pat-.
i rick Walsh, wfiiph was as follows :
Resolved, That this convention i
recommend to the people of Geor
gia Goy. A. 11. Colquitt as tne !
democratic candidate for governor
of Georgia at the ensuing election, i
provided that this resolution does ;
not go into effect until three ballots
shall have been taken under the
two-thirds rule and it i® demonstra
ted that no nomination can be ef
fected thereby.
Upon this resolution the majori
ty c died the p eciqus qnestiqn, thus
preventing all and it
was adopted against the protest of
the minority, by a strict maj irity
vote, excepting the vote of Colquitt
delegates from two or three counties,
i who were unwilling for. the conven
tion to adjourn without a nomina
tion.
That resolution of recommenda
tion was adopted on Tuesday after : |
noon.
i On Wednesday morning the elec
; tors and state officers were nqmina- j
ted, and the work of the convention, j
except the nomination of candidate
for governor, was finished. The
majority, instead of adjourning
die, took a recess until 3 p. m.—
Their object was a caucus secret,
and was unknown by even some of
the Colquitt delegates. The mi
nority supposed and hoped their
purpose was to rescind the resolu
tion of recommendation and to re
sume the ballot, for governor, but,
after the adoption of the usual
. complimentary resolutions, a Col
quitt delegate moved an adjourn
ment sine die, which the minority ‘
opposed and demanded a call of ’
the counties on the vote. Every
delegate of the minority voted
against an adjournment and all '
the Colquitt delegates voted for it
| except about 10. After the vote
an adjournment was tuken arid be
fore the chair announced the result
the delegates from Harris county
changed their four . votes to Gov.
' Colquitt which added to the last,
ballot for governor, taken the day
before, gave Gov. Celquitt 223
13—30 votes.
These facts are stated that you
: may understand under what pressure
' that number of votes was obtained.
I The object of recess till 3 p. m. was
ot to give the convention an op
* port unity to ballot again for gov
ernor, but it was, as we afterwards
heard,, to have time to learn if the
minority were intimidated by the
prospect of adjournment without
a nomination for governor and with
the hope that they would cravenly
surrender to the one-man power
and tyranny, which from the first
to the last subjugated that conven
tion.
Me have thus laid before you in
detail the actions pf the Colquitt
delegates and the various offers of
the minority for a compromise, and
i to preserve tho harmony and the or
ganizauon of the democratic party,
; that you may judge who are to
j blame for jhe schism produced by
i the failure to make a nomination
for governor.
We, speaking for the minority,
were not sent to the convention as
the tools or slaves of any man. We
came as representatives to nomi
nate candidates for the united suL
frages of the democracy, and not to
disorganize and divide the party
because our claim or preferences
were not nominated. We belong
to no man. We set no man above
his party. We bold the unity of
our party and the peace and pros
perity of our state dearer to us
than the gratification of the ambition
or greed for office of any one man,
or clique or syndicate. We loath
and detest one-man power. We
would not then, and will not now,
submit tqit. When we were put up
on notice that the Coiquitt dele
gates came to nominate Colquitt or
nobody, we accepted the defiant
declaration and inflexibly resolved
to a man, that we would never con
sent to his nomination. To have
done otherwise, would have been
degredetion and a surrender of
your rights.
Gov. Colquitt is your servant—
not your master. You made him
and yon have the right to, unmake
him. That defiance was to you, as
the convention was only the people
of Georgia assembled by represen
tation, and had you been unitedly
assembled, even though you might
1 have come together unanimously
in favor of Gov. Colquitt, we mis
take your manhood and .patriotism
and self-respect if you would not
have met such a demand by a unan
imous and indignant rebuke.
If it be said that Gov..Colquitt
was not responsible for that decla
ration we reply—-.“ That Mr. Walsh
was a recognized leader of the Col
quitt delegates: that I he declaration
was known by Gov. Colquitt, and
he never authorized any one to de
ny it in the convention ; that bis j
course during the convention corrob-1
i orafed oie statement or Mr. Walsh, !
and clearly proved that he was re
solved that n other man in Geor
gia should denominated except him
self. This is proved bv the fact that
he attended the caucus of his del
egates on Satur lay night and made
a pathetic appeal to them never to
desert hiiq, and by the fact that
the Augusta Chronicle, Mr. "Walsh’s
paper, announced on Sunday
morning following “that in the
caucns that no nominatian for gov
ernor would be made,” and by the ■
fqptfipr fact, known to you all, (
that when Governor Colquitt and j
hjs delegates became convinced
tint his nomination by a two third
vote wes impossible tjiey determin
ed to pass the resolution of recom
mendation, and he agreed to go be
fore you as a candidate on that
certificate alone. Besides this
proof we present the further j
facts that Governor Colquitt had ,
a brother on the flour, though not |
a member of the convention,)
every hour of its sitting closely ■
observing and actively nt woi k
and that an advisory caucus was
held in the executive offiice dur
ing each sitting and after each j
adjournment.
In view of these faffs we submit
the grave question of the responsi
bility of the failure to nominate a
candidate for governor to your de
cision. The Colquitt delegates
proposed the two-thirds rule and
the convention adopted it. Mr.
Walsh, on the first day of the |
convention, offered a resolution de-1
daring it to be the sense of the
convention that the majority rule
should be adopted by all future gu
bernatorial conventions. On a call
of the counties, which is virtually j
a vote by ayes and noes, the cun- i
vention refused to endorse the m-^- 1
jority rule. Thus the couventiun
declared the two-third rule to be
the law of that bo ly and that it
ought to be the law of all future ■
gubernatorial conventions. Tne j
law of the convention, therefore, <
was that no man could go to the j
people as its nominee unless, and
until he should obtain twothirds of
the votes cast That vote Gov-i
♦mor Colquitt never got. He in, I
therefore, not the nominee of the i
democratic party, but is a self-ap
pointed candidate, with the endorse
ment of the Colquitt delegates.—
1 hose delegates insist that as he
was almost a nominee, therefore he
iis a nominee. They say he had a
, large majority in the convention.-
i That is true, but they enacted the
J law that no man should go out of
i the convention and tell you he is a
, nominee unless they gave him a
two-thirds vote. That law was not
repealed, and when the Colquitt
delegates and Gov. Colqnitt claim
for him the right to your support
as a nominee, they and he are
ing so in defiance of the law of
their own making, for while he had
a personal following of a numeri
cal majority he received a minor
ity vote under the law which re
quired a two-thirds vote as a ma
jority. Gov. Colquitt, therefore,
comes before you not as the nomi- I
nee of your delegates, but as a can
didate recommended by a number
of the citizens of Georgia.
After the adjournment of the
convention the delegates who con
stituted the minority remained in
the represents dve hall to consider
what course should be taken to
give you the opportunity to have a
choice ox men for tne high office of
governor. With Gov. Col qiiiit
alone in the field you could not do
otherwise than tamely submit to
what we feel to be a great wrong.
We had agreed in the convention
to give you a nominee as a candi
date for whom a united democracy
could vote. We were willing and
anxious to present to you any one
of over a hundred good and true
men in Georgia. Gov. Colquitt
held his delegates with an iron
hand for six days and would not
consent for you to have any man
in Georgia bat himself. Crushed
under his grasp the convention
broke up, and unless another can
didate were-presented, you would
have been left with no right to
choose. We believed it to bo our
duty to you to give you the oppor
tunity to. express your choice be
tween Gov. Colquitt and some oth
er man. As yoqr representatives '
had failed to make a choice out of .
so large a number of-able and hoq- i
arable men in the state, it is your ■
right to exercise the power which
you delegated to them, and which
they refused to exercise for you.
We therefore, determined to con
sult with citizens from different
sections of the state in qrder to. de
cide first, whether yqu desired, an
other candidate ; and secondly, who
would probably- b.e your preference
for governor. We sooq he* ?1 an i
almost universal demand for a
j democratic candidate to oppose
I Gov. Colquitt, and we. decided in a 1
j large meeting of citizens of the
state, including many o.f the I
minority in the late convention, in '
the representative hall, that the i
people, for the good of the state, I
and in assertion of the manhood of j
the denioc.r itic party, which per-1
sonalisrq had ruled and mastered in
the convention, should have anoth
er candidate.
We say for the good of the
state, because the scandals xv4neG j
; have grown not of the very peculiar I
administration of the affairs of tne |
state in Georgia, daring the last three
veers, call aloud for action and
redress. The incompetency of the
a l.qinistration does not admit of a
doubt. The division of opinion is
not on the incompetency of the.
present administration, bat relates .
to still graver matters, and when ■
criticism on the administration is I
made by a large portion of the !'
democratic party is as severe as ,
whs made on Ballock s administra
tioq. It is time for the democracy
to move for reform and purification.
What the acts of the present exec
utive are that have provoked such
grave ch... ges arc* to you,
as they have been published in the
press of the state, and undergone
review an 1 discussion until the op
position to an executive almost (
unanimously elected in 1876 will,
we believe, work his defeat in the i
coming election.

| “It will be se°n that the Telegraph
and Messenger, paper,
thinks Collqnitt will go in with
228 anyhow, and our belief is that
he will go in with over 230. In
other words, we do not believe he
will miss getting two-thirds of the
whole convention on the first ballot
by more than five or ten votes at
the outiside.” i
i The above is from the Atlanta
Constitution of the 29th of July.
, When it is remembered that Col
quitt went into the convention
with not quite 209 votes,
it will be seen what reliance there
is to be placed in what it says about
the strength of the two candidates
now before the people.
Both the majority and the mi
nority of the late convention au-
I pointed executive committees. The
Colquitt executive committee met
on last Tuesday, when a proposition
was made by Col. M. W. Lewis of
■ Greene county to call another oon
vention to nominate a Governor,
I which was voted down by 7to 4.
All efforts at reconcillia.ion are
spurned by the believers in the one
man power. As we have before
. remarked, “just let the procession
I proceed,” the people will decide
! this thing at the polls. ‘

Ex-Senator Norwood proposed
.to Gov. Colquitt the other day,
,in the interest of harmony, for both
iof them to unite in asking the ex
ecutive committee to call another
’ convention, and to show hisdisenter

ihe would not be a candidate. Gov.
i Colquitt declined this proposition
ii n the interest of harmony, so all
we have got to say now is “let
them rip.”
Gen. Young, professing to speak
for Gov. Colquitt, said while the
convention was being organized.
