DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

JOEL A. BILLUPS.
of Morgan County,

The Watchman in one issue claims
Hall, Jackson and Oconee for Speer
and in the next, conceedes them to
Billups.
Mr. Speer hath anew dodgo. He
weareth a gold watch, with a short
silver chain, and a nickel suspended
from the end of it.
The gentleman, who had box-toed
boots and an English groom to black
them, is a pretty caudidato for the
wool hats, isn’t he now V
"There are but two parties—the
Democrats and Radicals," eaith Emo
ry Spoor, “and he who opposes the
Democrat furthers the cause of
Radicalism," also saith Emory Speer.
Selah !
Every man, who votes for Reuben
Arnold, or Stephen A. Corker, the
Greenback candidates in the fifth and
first districts, leaves the Democratic
party; in all probability for the par
ty’s good.
Tho only claim Speer has, to be
called the peoples friend and cham
pion, lies in the fact that he is a self
nominated candidate for congress.
Most any man can boa red hot
champion on such petty capital.
The Watchman's standing orders
are to claim two now counties for tho
Speer candidate each weeli, until af
ter elect ion. These added to those
already claimed, will give tho Inde
pendents all the counties in the ninth
district and four in the seventh.
Reuben Arnold proposes to come
down in tho fifth district, if Col.
Hammond will. This is a cool prop
osition. Arnold will comedown any
how on November sth and ho wants
to carry Hammond with him. A
clean caso of “heads 1 win, tails you
lose.”
H H. J., of the Macon 'Telegraph
writes from Boston, that “in a pro
tracted walk through the city, tho
site was pointed out whore Web
ster first drew tho breath of life.” If
our namesake will come to Gaiuos
ville wo will take pleasure in show
ing him Webster's grave.
Mr. Speer will resume tho prac
tice of law on the morning of the
sixth of November after reading the
election returns. We hope he will
continue to go to the counties of Ra
bun and White. Mr. Speer was too
decidedly green to be pulled and now
he may never bo ripe enough to go to
congress. Alas ! Alas 1
There are thirty Justices of tho
l’oace and Notaries Public in Hall
county. Of theso, ten Justices and
oleveu Notaries we know are for Bil
lups. Three Justices and one No
tary are for Speer and we are not
certain how tho other two Justices
and three Notaries will vote. And
still Speer claims Hall.
tien. N. P. Banks, known best as
Stonewall Jackson’s commissary, got
left last week. The Republican Con
vention of his district (the sth Mass)
nominated S Z. Bowman over him
by a vote of 51 to 50. Tho doughty'
General mado a fierce bloody-shirt
speech at the late Republican State
Convention of Massachusetts. All
that’s played out, dear; don’t yon
know it V
The Speer organs are amazingly
fond of dwelling upon tho course ol
Hon. A. H. Stephens in the Eighth
district, but they never mention his
opinion of Col. Billups and his can
didacy. He (Col. Billups) is as good
a man as there is in the district,
snys Mr. Stephens “and not only in
that district but as good as there is
in tho State of Georgia. He is one
of the best lawyers in the State and
wonld be a bright light in the United
States Congress. He is the man the
peo/de should supjxjrt ”
When Mr Speer was Solicitor-
General he carried around a gentle
man by the name of Crawford to
draw up his indictments for him.
He rode in a cream colored wagon
drawn by a pair of 2:40 horses. He
carried two breech-loading shot-guns
in his dog-cart and two fine one hun
dred and twenty-five dollar dogs.
He was driven by a white English
groom, who curried the horses and
blacked Mr. Speer’s box-toed boots.
The groom is gone. Crawford is
gone. The cream-colored wagon is
gone. The setter and pointer are
gone. Tho breech-loading shot-guns
likewise and the box-toed boots also
And after the fifth of November, Mr.
Speer will be gone—where the wood
bine twineth.
Speer as Solicitor General.
Mr. Speer as a congressman will,
if he should be elected, have most
important interests of the people
committed to his charge. Will he
faithfully attend to them ? With the
lights before us, it is impossible to
say that he will. He has been Solici
tor General of this judicial circuit, a
position not to be compared in im
portance with that of congressman,
and if ho has not been faithful over
a few things, it is not likely he will
be wore observant of his duty under
the greater responsibility.
During tho latter portion of his
term, instead of attending personally
to his business, he turned it over to
another, and some of the counties,
notably White and Rabuu, he neith
er visited in person nor took any
interest in tho State’s business there
in. The grand jury of Jackson, in
their general presentment during
that period, condemned in strong
language his manner of conducting
tho State’s business in that county.
But theso arc mainly sins of omis
sion, involving mere neglect of duty
and an indifference to tho important
inteiesla connected with his office.
Tho grand jury of Gwinnett county,
however, mentioned in quite another
manner, tho name of Mr. Speer in
their presentments at the September
term of court. While it was due to
the political friends and opponents
of Mr. Speer, that tho portion of
these presentments, relating to him,
should be brought to tho knowledge of
the voids of this district, we have
refrained from doing so until Mr.
Speer had an opportunity of answer
ing Iho same in any manner he saw
fit. lie has done so at his eonvo
ienco. ,
Twenty three grand jurors sign
the Gwinnett presentments, a part
of which are as follows:
“It is with pain and regret that wo call
the attention of tho Court to tho fact
that there has been aderoliction of du
ty upon tho part of our late Solicitor
General, Emory Speer, in that he
having collected money upon for
feited bonds properly belonging to
the officers of this Court and Justices
of the Fence and Constables of this
county, and having appropriated it
to his own use contrary to law, oue
particular case of which wo make
mention. It appears that there was
judgment, obtained in this Court two
or three years ago against one Cal
Frasier and Sanford Hannah vs. Se
curities on the bond of Mr. Frasier’s
sou, for five hundred dollars, which
bond Mr. Speer afterwards compro
mised for three hundred and fifty
dollars, which amount, as shown, has
never been accounted for, and we ask
that tho present Solicitor General
take such steps as may bo proper
and legal to compel Mr. Spoor to
nmke restitution.’’
Mr. Speer admits receiving this
$350, but says in tho first place, tfe-t
this presentment is not honest, but.
-merely a political persecution, or in
other words, that twonty-throo up
right and intelligent citizens of
Gwinnett, who were sworn, “to dili
gently enquire and true presentments
make,'’and “to presont no one from
envy, hatred or malice,” deliberately
perjured themselves in order to as
sist in defeating Mr. Speer’s congres
sional aspirations. Even if this were
true it would not help his case, and
wo do not believe it of any grand
jury in this State.
But Mr. Spoor furthor says, as a
defence, that as the county owed
him SBOO, he had a right to this
money and that he receipted to W-
L. Vaughan, Clerk of the Superior
Court for the samo. Mr. Vaughan,
according to tho Gwinnett Herald ,
from which wo get these facts, says
that not one dollar of this money was
over paid over to him and that Mr.
Speer did not give him a receipt for
any part or tho whole of it. Admit,
however, that Mr. Smith is correct
in his statement, a violation of the
law is shown even if tho worst fea
ture be removed. There are other
insolvent costs besides those of the
Solicitor General. The Clerk and
Sheriff, tho Justices and Constables
are generally county creditors and
this money should have been dis
tributed j>ro rata by ordor of court
to have meted out equal and exact
justice, nnd to have fulfilled the re
quirements of the law.
Here are the 'acts, the grand jury's
sworn presentments, Mr. Speer’s con
fession and avoidance, and Mr.
Vaughan's denial of the giving of the
receipt, upon which Mr. Speer relies
as tho evidence of his honest and
lawful conduct in the premises. It
is for the voters of this district to
determine whether Mr. Speer's plea
bo good or not and to record their
verdict on the fifth of November.
A correspondent of tbo Athens
Tanner writing from Hollow Springs,
Banks county, says that at a poll of
voters present at a recent debate at
Hollow Springs Academy, the couut
was as follows: Billups, (ifi; Speer, 5;
doubt’ul, 2,
Did any body ever hear of Sioek
tiu, tho West Point graduate and
Major-General in the Confederate
Army, who is now a private in the
United Stai s Army ? We reckon
not.
The Covington Star nominates Sen
ator Allen G. Thurman of Ohio as
the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent in 1880. The Ooio Republicans
are perfectly willing.
J. J. Turnbull of Banks county re
cently admitted to George \Y. H.
Ilairison of that county, that Billups
would carry Banks.
Tuesday’s Elections.
At this writing, Wednesday eve
ning, the returns from Indiana, lowa,
Ohio, and West Virginia are meagre,
but sufficient to justify us in saying
that the Greenback organization is
not worth a bill of beans and that
the Republican party is the liveliest
corpse outside an Ohio medical col
lege. In spite of the Democratic-
Greenback fusion in that State, lowa
has gone Republican by its usual ma
jority and sent a solid Republican
delegation to congress. Ohio has
elected the Republican State ticket
by from 8000 to 15,000 majority and
12 of the 20 congressmen, according
•to Republican estimates, although
the Democrats, on the other hand
concede but 7 to their opponents.
This is offset by Indiana which
elects the Democratic State ticket by
a majority between 5000 and 0000.
Republicans consede us 5 out of the
Ilf congressmen, which wonld he a
Democratic gain of a single member,
while Democrats claim 7. The legis
lature is doubtful and the Nation
als may hold the balance. West
Virginia elects 2 and probably 15
Democratic congressmen the enme as
in 1876. Before wo go to press we
hope to be able to announce with
certainty the complexion of the In
diana legislature and tho number of
Republican and Democratic congress
men elected in all these States.
Wo postpone extended comments
upon theso results until next week,
but we would impress upon our read
ers this one truth that in 1880 we
will have to fight that vigorous, un
daunted, sagacious and unscrupu
lous organization, the Republican
party and that party alone. We
can win tho victory with union and
harmony among ourselves, but in no
other way. This is no time for any
good Demoorat to stray from the
party fold. In tho face and with the
knowledge of Tuesday’s election in
Ohio, ho who votes in Georgia or any
other Southern State, for a Green
back or Independent candidate for
congress next month, is a most effi
ally of the Republican party.
Decline of the Drummers.
Tho era of high pricos and extrav
agance resulting from the war and
extending from its close to the pan
ic of 1873, brought conspicuously be- !
fore the public a class of commercial i
travelers commonly called “drum- ]
iners.” All wholesale houses in tho •
large cities, of any pretensions to an
extended trade, employed from ono
to a dozen or more traveling sales
men, who visited customers in all
parts of the country several times a
year, supplied them with goods and
generally acted an middle men be
tween them and the wholesalers and
jobbers in the cities. They were
usually paid a salary and allowed a
fixed sum per day for traveling and
other expenses. Of course the extra
outlay for these drummers was very
large and while not especially bur
densome during the reign of high
charges, it has become unendurable
in this season of low prices and
small profits, and is getting to be
considered no longer a necessary or
legitimate expense. An exchange of
a late date commenting upon tho
general reduction of merchants’ ex
penses, says.
“A Chicago wholesale grocery
house, which a few years ago earriod
sixteen drummers at an expense of
$40,000 per annum and did an al
most profitless business, has aban
doned the drummer system, spends
one-fourth their cost annually in
newspaper advertising, dividing the
balance among customers. An a nat
ural result, their trade has increased
ten-fold, and the net profits to the
house in 1877 were $130,000. This
year they will do still better.”
Wholesale housss in all sections
are beginning to see that newspaper
advertising is the best and cheapest
way of bringing their wares to the
attention of their customers, and
those, who soonest turn over anew
leaf, dismiss their drummers and re
turn to the old way of doiDg business,
will find themselves much the gain
ers thereby.
No Yellow Fever in Atlanta.
We have not the space to copy in
full the article of the Atlanta Consti
stution upon the fever or laok of fever
in that city. It states positively that
“there is not and has not been a case
of native yellow fever in Atlanta.”
Four cases up to tho close of last
week had been imported, two from
New Orleans, one from Memphis and
one from Chattanooga, the earliest
of these over two months ago. All
the Atlanta physicians agree that it
is impossible for a case of yellow fe
ver to originate in that locality and
in accordance with that universal
belief, no quarantine has been there
instituted against any of the aillicted
districts.
We say this much not only be
cause it is due to that most enter
prising city, but to assure our read
ers, many of whom contemplate at
tending the North Georgia fair this
month, that they run not the slight
est risk in so doing.
Query 1 If Speer is going to abol
ish in toto the revenue laws, why are
all the revenue officials supporting
him? Ask Potash Farrow, or Eu
gene Hale, chairman, etc.
Corker, Independent-Greenback :
candidate for congress in the first
district, puts Telfair county in hie t
list of appointments not knowing it
to be in the third district.
Billups l Canvass.
There is not a single locality in
this district, visited by Col. Billups,
in which he has not won tbo respect
of the community and gained votes
for the Democratic party. Heis no
expert in the role of jester or buf
foon, nor are stale anecdotes of doubt
ful propriety a pert of the arguments
by which he solicits votes for him
self uud his party. In calm, temperate
and logical addresses, he seeks to
reach the reason an t sound sense of
his hearers. He shows them tho inevi
table result of tho Independent
movement, the necessity for a thor
ough union of all Democrats, the tit
ter inability of the IndopenderrHcan
didatc, with neither., party nor de
fined principles, to aid his constit
uents at Washington, and the unpar
alleled impudence and total selfish
ness of this so-called champion of
the people and Lie claims to repre
sent them.
Ho points to the record
war of the Democratic party in
Georgia and the country, and calls
upon tho Democrats of this district
not to desert it upon the eve of ®ic
cess. lie shows, to the satii-fadlion
of every reasonable man, that noth
ing but dissensions in our own ranks
can prevent tho election of a Demo
cratic President in 1880. And he
asks tho votes of all good Democrats,
not simply because Mr. Speer is his
opponent, not only on account of his
own ability and fitness, denied by
none, but for the special and conclu
sive reason that he is the only candi
date in the lidd, representing tho
Democracy of ti.i. dettriot. Hit* trust
is in tho Dcm < party and it
will not be in vain.
Eiilups Iu Union.
Bwiusvi i.i.e, G.v, Oct. 6, 1878.
hid dors Hoyle: According to pre
vious appointment, Col. Joel A. Bil
lups addressed a large audience in
this place on tie fth lust., composed
of both ladies and gentlemen. After
a brief introduction by Col. C. J.
Wellborn, Col. Billups took tho floor,
and in a calm but effective manner,
so characteristic of the man, began
to discuss some of the political issues
involved iu this present congression
al canvass. I feel profoundly grati
fied to say that I have never soon in
all my life a si rouge manifestation
on the part of tho best and most in
telligent voters of this county to
support by their uuited efforts, the
standard-bearer of tho Democracy of
this congressional district, and aid
and assist him to bear that noble oler
banner to triumphant success on the
sth of November next, and thus ful
ly demonstrate that the Democrats
of this district know yet what is best
and safest for them to do. Cok Bil
lups Ims made many votes iu this
county, and persuaded all reasonable
men, that this spirit of imUipendent
ism is absolutely wrong'at T HtlUnTs
chief object is to defeat the Demo
cratic party. A few hot bonded on
thnsinsts who have sworn that the
horse is sixteen feet high and intend
to stick to it all hazards, regardless
of results will not I'd hi {•> reason
but they and their champion are in
evitably gone under, and already the
phantom rise to tin ir sight. “De
struction hangs o’er your devoted
walls, and nodding lltoil waits the
impending fall. ’ Mr. Speer has lost
many votes in this comity since ho
was here, and the best judges of elec
| tions say that Col. Billups will beat
Mr. Speer from two to two hundred
and fifty votes and possibly more
than that number. So you may safe
ly say to all your readers that the
mountain boys are not as easily gull
ed and misled as it has been presum
ed they were, but when election day
comes off they will march up to the
I ballot box in solid phalanx and vin
dicate the rights of tic Democrats of
this district by casting their votes
for the Democratic candidate, Joel
A. Billuus to represent them in the
Forty-Sixth Congress.
Jacques.
Wo have cheering news from
Banks, Clarke, Madison, Jackson,
Morgan, Forsyth and Gwinnett. In
flanks, Col. Billups majority will not
be itss than 200; in Clarke, about
100; Madison, 200; Jackson, 300
Morgan, 600; Forsyth, 350 and
Gwinnett, 700, making 2450 iu seven
counties. In Oconee and Franklin
the chances are about even now. This
is cheering news from the counties
below tbo Air-Line ami from Forsyth
and we believe it to bo reliable. In
Clarke, Mr. Speer’s own county, we
learn front tho best authority that
| Col. Billups will get ninety per cent,
jof the white vote. Mr. Speer’s im
! mediate family and ptisoital friends
! will stick to him.
! The Speer organs think the Eighth
! District Convention tho only one
j which expressed tho will of tho peo
( pie and nssigu as a reason that Mr.
Stephens mado iho delegates do
right. If the organs are correct, this
was a decided case of one man pow
er. Without undertaking to i im
pure Speer with Stephens or The
Georgia Minstrels’ end man with
Gov. Colquitt, wo are of the opinion
that no one individual can count the
Democratic party < f this district
among his personal effects, and the
self-constituted candidate, will find
this out to his sorrow, but not sur
prise, wh hi bo reads tho election re
turns.
j By Mr. Hayes’ instructions, tho
fraudulent Attorney-General has
written to United States Attorneys
in Alabama, Louisiana and South
Carolina, a letter directing them iu
substance, to interfere iu tho ap
proaching elections and to use the
United States Marshals and United
States soldiers to carry out orders
from Washington. Does Mr. Speer’s
friend Potash Farrow propose to I
help the Speer candidate by any j
such machinery iu this district ? 1
