Reawiw for Oppailng Harris.
S.’Uor of FtmNcator ;
1 have I>ecr, naked by sever
al breads why I had takes a public aland
a££hm R. R. Ilvirk, mtr present reprpaen
t*tive in oangreas- They any he tea made
ua a good mem'js? ; he haa done aa well
as any mas we could have gotten to rep
resent us, &c.”
I say sow, and Issy M without fear ot
contradiction, that there is not a man liv
ing that ever heard me say a word against
Mr. Harris' congreaaional record. 1 have
always b<en a supporter ot Mr. Harris,and
il he had been nominated bv the conven
tion I would have given him my support.
I know Mr. Harris relieved a republican
postm .au-r tu M isoogee county ol a bo id
"! SIB,OOO, and one iu Troup county of a
bond ot SIO,OOO. • Who has ever heard me
complain o! Alt. 11 tor Unit f M• public
men will do the same to gain strength •
they will tax their old friends a little to
g ; u new liiends. ThU is natural, and I
cm bear it aad not complain il others can.
But uow I have objections to Mr. ller
ria sad lam not airaid nor aahtmed t ex
piesa them publdy. Neither do I believe
that the a is a democrat in tnc county, lay
1"S alt jp'eji. dice and sell lute rest aside
and lookiug to the interest of the demo-
cratic party, will differ with me.
I say la the first place that the reso’n
lioos adopted at (he mass eieetl ig In Green
ville to select delegates to meet In convett
lioo at Columbus tears vtolalod. Il 1 am
not mistaken those delegates were Instruc
ted to vote loi Mr. Harris. "110 Is our
County man. We like him aud will aup
poi l him, if nominated. But il you cannot
nominate M . llatrls uotnluate some other
good democrat iu the distilct ami we wilf
support him. \Ye want a nomination and
we bclieveihere will he wisdom enough in
the eiii veutkru to make a nomination 1 *
These are not the resolutions ivrbitun,
bul i. substance 1 think. Nov, are the
democrats of Meriwether county hound to
vote for H R. Harris because a part ol
'theirdelegates, contrary to ln>tiactions,
would not yote Ii any one but Mr. Harris
in the convention ’ Am those delegatus so
blind that they think they can take Mr.
Hants and run over tire democratic party
ol Mari aether c unty an ) make them sup
port him ? Is that Democratic ? 1 say not;
and when the (acts tn this iaaue get rightly
Iriloro the people they will ee the error
aud vote it down. I have no fears ol M r ,
Harris being elected by the democratic
party.
I can say, aud 1 believe tell the truth,
that there Is not another democrat iu tills
c ingitsklonal divllict, alter being honored
as Mi. Haitis has lieeu by Ihe democratic
party would ratlici sscrifiie that party than
give tip the pohbioo.
Is it not ruasouahlu to suppose that any
Democrat that has the good ul his party al
heart would sulfur Iris name ballolled lor
