. The first of January was the day
for the annual election of directors
and president of the Central railed.
After the deajth of Mr. Wad ley the
presidency was given to Gen. E. P.
Alexander, and it was supposed for
awhile that ho would have no oppo-
sition when the regular election came.
Some months since, however, Capt.
, W. G. Raoul entered the race, and at
once developed considerable strength.
As the day approached, the contest
became excited, and the two contest
ants seemed to develop about equal
strength. A few days before the
election, it was known that a block
of 7,000 shares of stock, held in New
\ ork. had been sold to one who was
in favor of Raoul, and by some thi-,
was considered as virtually settling
the contest. General Alexander’s
friends, however, remained firm to
the last, and made the best fight they
could. The Raoul ticket lor directors
was elected by a majority of 4,211.
The ticket was as follows: W. G.
Raoul, h. C. Anderson, George Corn
well, h. If. Green, New York; Abram
Minis, John M. Guerard, Andrew
Low, .r. J. Gresham, Macon; J.
Hauers, 11. M. Corner, William
Hunter, George J. Mills, W. W. Gor
don.
The management of the road would
have been safe in the hands of either
man. Gen. Alexander has large ex
perience in railroading, and is a man
of remarkable executive ability and
of extensive cultuTe. His defeat by
a comparatively untried man was a
great triumph for the victor. We
say comparatively untried, for/.’apt.
Raoul has never bad the administra
tion of the affairs of a huge corpora
tion, such as the Central road, and
he is yet a comparatively young man.
It is a great deal in his favor that he
was made vice-president of the Cen-
tral at Mr. Wadley’s suggestion.
Ilis relationship as sou-in law to Mr.
Wad ley would not have had a feath
er s weight with that gentleman if
lie had not had full confidence in
Capt. Raoul’s ability to fill the place.
It is known that Mr. Wadlev wanted
( apt. Raoul as his successor, in case
ol his death or resignation. In view
of this, those who were admirers of
Mr. AN adley and liis administration
and among them is the Advertiser
—are profoundly g atified at the re
sult ol the election. As we under
stand, Capt. Raoul represents the
home element of the stockholders
lather than that which belongs to
states, and his policy will be,
us .ar as possible, a continuance of
t hat ot the great man who brought
•’ Central up to such mammoth
proportions. No far as we have seen,

of Georgia on account of public
clamor. I think,” said Governor
Stephens, “that those who are so
read} to complain at me for my acts,
would do well to wait until they had
heard all the facts connected with
what I do. Very few men who de
serve to be governor of Georgia
could go over the cases I have inves
tigated and find less than fifty cases
that required a pardon. I may have
committed an error in some, but I
don t think so, an<Ul am not unwil-1
in £ for .the people m Georgia to pass ;
on ray conduct when they know the I
facts in each case.”
