A CORRECTWX.
The tlateuient l made tu Rime ol the
1 a| ci* oi the district that Harris wag the
uii only candidate at llieWeat Point nom
inating convcnth n two years ago. The
fact is in the first lalk'l he only lacked
at tut three votes ol receiving two-thlrils ol
all the votes caa'. According to our rec
•nlUctiou, he maintained tbit la all tbo bal
lot* dt’iing the day, about 00 in all. We
•weie prevented from attending the night
t carton tut tearu that Cap'. Peiaona lead
ou a uuml>er oi ballots, hit ina)oril y being
nominal not real a* the whole convention
ktew. There was an idea prevalent linn
as now, that by iutioducing dillerent can-,
•didatea, tbe friends of Harris niiclit l>e
wearied Into a drier lion ol hi* cause and
thus a "lied out U oitc” brought iu who
would win the rsrt. Judges Buchanan
and Crawford, both gor'd men, were then,
nnd are to day, the candidates held in re
serve. Uapt Persona then, we aero as
sured received certain vote*, not that the
delegates c tetri's them, loved Persont bat
were optoted to Harris and employ'd
three methods of weakening Harris and
pavtrg the way tor the rucal of their
“tied out’ - tavoiiter. This, we think, is
the true rtaument cl the matter. Harris
was nominated by a two-thirds vote Urea,
tbs Muscogeedelegation, lead by l£ajat
Motes, first coming t o him. A* aooa as
Muscogee ceme to Harris there was a ruth
ol the other counties to follow suit

most thorough and exciting one. It will
not do to say that the vote at the tato pri
mary election was a small one as the fore
going tacts proven lielore the committee
show? o strongly the contrary. Why. the
i till :a! return* above referred to, show the
vote ol Muscogee in 1870 to have been
1778, the same a* the vote of Carroll, yet
Uoy. Smith holds hi* seat in this t.ody hy
a vote ol 114 to 107, only a majoiily ol 7
out of a vote of 800 j these Carroll del.-
gates come with a majority of 750 and a
title, according to ’he governor's logic,
tlireo times stronger than Ills, and yet he
telusrs them admisaion. [Tremendous
and prolonged cheering,
Mr. Freeman’* speech w* the speech ol
the convention, clear, logical rod over

Mr. Butt replied in a speech ol some
length, discussing rather tho merits of Col.
Hants '.ban the question before the body,
ar.d at the close of his nJdmra called the
previous question*, thus cutting off the ma
Jority of the committee with only one
speech.
Mr. Rev ill moved to table the minority
report. Before tho vole was taken Gov
Smith wished an investigation Into lbs vt-.
tidily ol the proxies claimed- *Tl.e chair
ruled the proposition out of order at that
time. Gov. 8m Ith saying that there were
quite a number ol proxies reported pres
ent and that lx wished no chesting,
was responded Ur by Mr. lUvill that care
would be takeu that u> cheating wss done
by any one. The chair ruinonnced the
question to be oo tabling the minority re
port, but previous to calling the roll Mr.
L. F. Garrard, ot Muscogee, asked shy
the counties were called as they were, say
ing that they were neither alphabetically
nor geographic lly arranged. The aecrc
