—The Democratic (Convention of the
■Ninth Congressional District met at
Gainesville last Thursday, and nomina
<ed flon. Allen D Candler of Gaines*
ville for Congress. We wish him sue*
reas against Emory Speer, the leader of
the Radicals and half-breeds in (hat
District.
flon. ,T, C. Clements has been re
nominated for Congress in the 7th
Distiict. We trust Dr. Felton will
again be left.
Blount has been re-nominated in
ihc Gth District.
Mr. Lawrenco of l’utnain county.^
informs us that Col. Humber aq' 1 U
A.dtnkins, KsVj., are the Democratic
nominees for the Legislature from his
couuty. These mer. will make good
representatives.
Tho Democratic Exeoutivo
Committee of this Congressional
District assembled at Augusta last
week, and resolved that the Con
vention of the party assemble at
Washington. Wilkes county, on
tho 31st of this month, to nomi
nato a candidate for Congress from
the Bth Dtst. In agreeing upon
the time of meeting the Committee
was unanimous. As to the place
ol meeting tho only two nominated
was Thomson and Washington; the
former place receiving only two
votes. Augusta was not proposed
f>v anyone at all. Our recollection
is there were fourtoen member* of
the Committee present, either in
pet son or by proxy; and that there
were only two or three counties
not represented.
The Chronicle & Constitution
lit reports Mr. P. W. Alexander
as saying that Mr. Stephens will
ge; a majority of the Norwood
voters. We supposo that reference
is had to what Mr. Alexander said
recently to a Constitution Reporter.
Whit he did say to the reporter on
this subject is as follows: "As far
os 1 have seen or know, or have
heard, I think the Norwood men
will support Mr. Stephens as gen
erally as will those who voted for
Governor Colquitt.”
We do not pretend to be posted
about other sections of the State;
hut we will venture the prediction
that for every Norwood vote which
Gartrell will receive in this county
at the next election he will get one
hundred Colquitt voters. The C.
& C. can file this away for future
reference after the election.
—We believe that all the couotiig
in this Dhtrict have selected delegates
lo attend the Congressional Convention
which assembles at Washington, Ga.,
on the 31st inst , to nominate a Demo
cratic candidate for Congress. Our
county is the only one we have heard
of which sends its delegates uuinstruc
ted. JTbe best information we can get,
disposes of the instructed totes as fol
lows:—Nineteen for Reese, twelve for
Mack; six for Hines; four for Gen.
i>ußose; aad three for Pottle. We
cjo uot speak authorita ively how the
votes of the Greene county delegates
will bo polled; and will not give ru
mors we have heard for fear of doing
injustice to someone.
We have learned of hut one county
which has expressed any preference as
second choice: Johnson county, which
has two votes, instructs for Hines first
choice, and Black second choice.
There will be forty-eight votes in
the Convention. If the majority rule
is adopted, twenty five votes will be
necessary for a choice All the couu
ties in the District except Greene and
Hancock committed themselves in fa
vor of the majority rule in the Guber
natorial Convention. But wh'ch evfr
rule is adopted by the convention at
Washington, the prospect now is, there
will be a lively time before there is any
nomination.

CAPITAL NOTES.
Atlanta. Ga., Aug. )4th
Tho Gubernatorial canvass is all
the talk here. General Gartrell
opened at Conyers last Saturday to
a largo crowd Ills speech was
good natured and conciliatory He
spoke in the highost terms of Sen
ator Brown, Mr. Stephens and
Governor Colquitt and contented
himself with attacking conventions
as the machines of ring politicians
lie created some enthusiasm and
his friends claim that he will carry
Rockdale county by a good majors
ity. He also claims Fulton and a
great many other counties for he
said in his speech Saturday that
he was confident of an election.
Tho disaffection at Mr. Stephens’
nomination manifested in some
parts of the State is subsiding
however, and thore can be no rea
sonable doubt of his election. He
will be at home next week It wait
not his purpose when I last saw
him to make moro than three or
four speeches in the canvass. He
will however, be petitioned from all
parts of the State particularly from
the Seventh District where Felton
is using his letters of a few years
ago to prove that Stephens endor
sed his course at that time.
Mr. Clements has been Dominat
ed again and the doctor is in the
field to oppose him. 11 is defeat
stung him awfully and he is now
making a last desperate effort to
regain the seat in Congress *vhich
he filled for six years. I do not
think the people of the seventh
care to swap off as good a Demo*
crat as Judson Clements for a man
whose politics is a conundrum.
Emory Speer has begun to praDce
over the ninth again with good
prospects of election by getting the
solid negro and independent vote.
The organized propose to nominate
Judge Alex, Irwin against him but
the Judge seems reluctant to make
the race.
Governor Colquitt is understood
to he in the race for the Senate
and nobody is prominently men
tioned against him. There aie
rumors, however, that a strong op
position will he developed in the
Legislature. The Governor is a
fine campaigner and if ha enters
actively into this contest will be
felt.
Ono good thing in the campaign
eo far is tho absence of bad feel
ing. Tha disgraceful scenes of
the contest of 1880 will probably
not bs repjated. Men are learning
that politics and decency can go
together.
Encouraged by the promise of
aid from tho Republican Committee
ami the chanco of being seated,
whether elected or not, there will
ho aru) Independent
candidates in nearly every District
of the State. The Republicans are
so divided as to be powerless even
whero they have a majority end
we will havo a Bolid Democratic
representative in Congress again,
except, perhaps the young uian
from tho ninth.
Take the State over, and I sup
pose tho people are thinking more
of their glorious crops than of poli
tics. The effect of '.he propitious
seasons has already been felt in
Atlanta. Business has brightened
wonderfully and the ouflook is the
most cheering ever known in this
busy and progressive city.
F 11. R.
•H ath ol* William .11. IVtidlev,
William M. Wad ley, president of
the Central railroad, died at G o’clock
on yesterday afternoon at Saratoga
Springs, New york.
Words cannot add to the shock this
announcement will carry to the people
ot Georgia. But a few days since in
these columns thore were published
encouraging words from the physician
who had been consulted as to his oon
diiion, and the hope was raised that he
woul 1 rally from the nervous prostra
tion, superinduced by the exciting con
test of last winter in defeuse of the
property under his control.
Mr. Wadley has been a marked man
in Georgia for nearly the half ot a
century. 110 would have been a mark
ed man in any community wheie there
was civilization sufficient to appreciate
energy and courage Coming to the
State of his adoption from his North
ern home in early manhood, as with
his right arm he hammered and fash
ioned the iron upon the anvil, so he
moulded his great character by the
measurements of an honesty and fiiel
ity which have never been surpassed.
Every bar of iron nailed upon the
breast of Georgia is a monument to
his foresight and industry, and every
engine which, with steady stroke, drags
the rich abundanoe of the soil from the
inland to the sea. is a moving banner
inscribed with his fame.
To the men of his guild who have
seen him rise from the humblest to the
highest position In the railroad world
must be left the duty of making an
enduring record of his life and labors
worthy of the man. We can but ex
press the sorrow of our people at a
crushing blow,that comes at a time and
"ndcr circumstances which makes it
ittie if any less than a popular calatn
•y
Thoroughly devoted at all times to
his duties, Mr. Wadley had little op
poriuciiy to make acquaintanceship
and friends with the world. By many
he was misunderstood, and was appro,
ciatcd for his full worth by _ few, but
those who, like the writer, had come
close to him for many years, will not
cease to remember and admire a char
acter that was Itoaian in all of the
sterner virtues, as was the casket which
enclosed his great heart.
The employes under his control look
ed to him as a father, and he was to
them in gentleness and justice at all
times a parent.
In sunshine and in storm Mr. Wad
ley was true in every instinct and feel
ing to the State of his adoption, and
she has taken to her heart no son over
whose loss she has greater cause to
mourn.
The frame af the giaot has fallen
and the iron will is subdued, hut the
memories of the virtues of Win. M.
Wadley, of his honesty, which shone
in the midst of corruption, and his
courage, which roso in the presence
of doubt and danger, will remain as a
pleasant heritage to the people of
Georgia—[Tel & Mess,
