A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER FOR THE MASSES DEVOTED TO CIVILIZATION AND MONEY-MAKING.
TALBOTTON, TALBOT COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1878.
4th Congressional District
A<!<lre.H ot flic Minority of tlie
Convention.
To th* Voters op the Fourth Congres
sional District or Georgia:
The Democratic Convention, lately in
soHsiou. first at Columbus and then at Now
nan, adjourned finally without nominating
a candidate for Congress. The daily pro
ceedings of the body were fully reported in
the leading newspapers of the District, and
it would seem that very little necessity ex
ists tor further statements in refersnoe to
the causes which led to that unfortunate
result. The gentlemen who composed the
majority of the Convention have seen fit,
I however, to issue an address to the people
a)I the District, in which a labored effort is
made to shift all responsibility for the fail
ure to nominate from themselves to the
shoulders of the minority. This uiPair at
tempt makes it the duty of the minority to
piesent a statement upon their part, to the
end that the Democracy of the District may
be able to place the responsibility where it
ongbt to lest.
In the very outset, we would direct atten
tion to the fact that the Hon. Henry K.
Harris, at no time, so far as we have been
able to learn, ever so much as intimated
| even th it he would abide the action ot the
Convention, il unfavorable to himself, lie
lore the body met it was reported through
the newspapers that upon being ques
tioned on the subject, he had said sub
stantially that he would accept the action
of the Convention provided it was fair. It
J was understood by this that ho would
constitute himself the judge *nd would de
cide the question of fairness, lor himself.'
This very significant circumstance served
to excite strong suspicions that he did not
intend, to sQOunit his name to the Conven
! tion in good faith; lhat lie would only suf
! ter himself to be nominated to prevent op
| position to his candidacy in his own party,
lan 1 ibut if he should lail to be chosen, that
h • would denounce the action of the Cou
j wntion as unfair, and would apj cal to th
people ns an independent candidate. This
suspicion was converted into certainty in
j our own minds by the conduct of his
friends after the Convention met.
One of tin* firht moves made after the per
manent organization of the body was effec
ted, was a resolution offered by Mr. M ll in
fold, of Talbot county, declaring in sub
stance that the candidates balloted for
should lie bound to support the nominee
of the Convention. This resolution was
opposed by Mr. Harris' partisans, who,
I being in the majority, finally forced its
I friends to abandon it in order to gi t rid of
j an obnoxious amendment.
| In each session of the Convention the j
j minority gave tip its favorites, and an- i
noonced in succession tin* names of many i
! other gentlemen as candidates for the nomi- '
j nation. We do Mr. Harris no injustice J
| when we say that each gentleman, so nam- j
ed, was his equal, in every desirable quail- i
fication. We also offered to allow his friends
t > none the candidate, if they would drop
Mr. Harris but every proposition made b\ ,
■ uk, looking to the selection of any other!
person, was peremptorily, and in some in- j
Ftances, almost indLnnntly rejected. Dur- j
hg flie entire sittings ot tho convention, j
Mr. Harris was in close and easy com- i
munication with his delegates, who, doubt- ;
less, represented his wishes and feelings
| in /• donsiy and faithfully; and when
jib v declined to accept any person but ,
j Harris, it was viriua'ly his own act. H*\
| in effect, m* destly declined to take anybody
[ but himself.
! It should be remembered in this connee- j
tion ibat every attempt to extract from
Mr. Harris’ friends in th ■ convention a
promise that would pledge him to abide its
action it unfavorable to him, met with sig
nal failure. Never once, in the heat of de
bate. nor in private conversation even, was
there so much as an intimation given that,
either he or his friends, would snppoit at
the polls any person except himself. Their
conduct declared as clearly as though ex
pressed in words that they were in the Con
vention, not in the interest of the Demo
cratic parry, but only as tho devoted ad
herents and partisans of one man. They
were there as Harris men, pure and simple
not ns Democrats.
! In view of this accumulated evidence,
we feel warranted *n charging that, Mr.
■ Harris made up bis mind long b f<>r he j
i Convention assembled, that he would in :
j any event, be a candidate. That he desired
Ia nomination only because he thought it I
would clear opposition out of his way.
j That he from the first, intended to use the
! Convention as a mere convenience. That
to consummate his purpose, be set about
organizing and r coring delegations from 1
the counties, the members of which he !
j could control. That by himself and by his
I special agents, he succeeded in securing a
! majority of delegates whom he controlled
almost as absolutely as the conjurer plays 1
his puppets. It may he thought thut these ]
conclusions are unjust to Mr. Harris and j
1 his delegates. To those who may so think j
we propound the following questions: Why 1
i did not Mr. Harris submit himself tinre- (
' servedly to the Convention ? Why did he,
! in advance, reserve the to pass upon
the fairness of fbe action of the Cunven
i lion ? Why did he, with such seeming
| studioOKuees, avoid any promise comrnit
, ting himself to abide the action ot the Con
vention? Why did his partisans oppose
Mnmfords resolution \ above referred to?
Why was it that no intimation could be
wrung from any one of his adherents in
the Convention that either he or his friends
would, under any circumstances, support
anybody but himself ? Why the parade,
alter seven hundred ballots, of a conference
committee, to meet the minority wiih the
proposition that they should take Harris,
or nobody. Why the ceaseless effort upon
the part of the majority, to manufacture
evidence ot their deep anxiety to harmonize
| the party when it was deal almost fcena
the first that they intended to break up the
j Convention unless they could secure the
| nomination of their favorite? Let those
questions L truthfully answered in the
light of the facts, and uhirity itself cannot
relieto Mr. Harris and his friends from tho
charges we have made.
But it is contended that Harris was the
choice of a majority of the Convention and
that the minority ought therefore to have
yielded; and that Harris was the choice of
a majority of the party in the district, and
that the minority was therefore bound, in
duty, not to offer any opposition to his
nomination. We will briefly answer these
propositions iu the order in which they are
stated. While the Convention sat in Co
lumbus it consisted of thirty-fonr delegates,
having thirty-fonr votes. Ol these thirty
four votes, Mr. Harris never received more
than eighteen. Before the Convention ad
journed to Newnan his vote fell to seven
teen and one-third, aW that ot his com
petitors rose to sixteen and two-thirds. He
had but two-thirds ot one vote majority, in
a convention of thirty-four votes, at the
time of tho adjournment at Columbus. At
the meeting at Nownan Harris received
four additional votes from Carroll. 1 lies
increased the votes in tho Convention to
thirty-eight; and of these, the majority had
a traction over twenty-one,and the minority
a fraction over sixteen. Verily, this state
ment does not disclose an over shadowing
majority* before which it was tho duty of
the minority to crouch and surrender at
j discretion. It is just in such cases that the
law of the party, known as the two-thirds
rule, operates with salutary effect. It
protects the people against the arts of de
signing politicians. It secures the nomiui
tion of candidates upon whom at least two
thirds of the whole party can unite. We
verily believe that to the existence of this
iule, more than to anything else, iH due
the fact that the Democratic party, as an
organization, has survived all other par
ties in this country.
We do not feel called upon, however, to |
piove that the two-thirds rule is right. It
is the law of the party , ami until set aside
by propel authority good Democrats will
continue to observe it. But in addition to
the general obligation which this law im
posed upon the majority in the pre
sent instance were under a special bond to
make their nomination under rule. They
declared by resolution, introduced by one
of themselves, that the nomination should
be made by a two-thirds vote. Mr. Harris,
acting through his friends, was the mover
of the resolution. He said in effect to the
party in his District. ‘I refuse to accept
the candidacy under a simple majority vote,
I take au orthodox position upon the ques
tion of my nomination; I will be chosen ac
cording to ‘lie strict usage of tho party or
not all, and hence I commission my own
friends a majority of the Convention to
j bind me by the two-thirds rule. “ This was
I high ground, and if Mr. Harris hml not
a’ aidom and it, ho would have deserved ami
I recuved ‘lie respect of his party*. As it is.
' lie has, iu our judgment degraded himself
| to the position of a mere faetionist, of one
! who will discharge his obligations to his
party only a her. his own selfish ends can j
i be gained thereby,
The minority that they are in no way rc- I
sponsible for the failure to make a nomina J
! tion. We were unwilling, for reasons which j
we will presently give, to nominate Mr. j
i Harris. Under tho law of the party, to j
which additional weight was given by the I
| resolution of the majority, we had the rigid j
I to stand upon our objections to Mr. Harris.
| If the rule was worth anything, it certainly |
; gave us the light to sav to the majority, ;
“Yon must present your candidate support- j
' ed by at hast two-third* of the Conv. ution, j
; before von can r* quire us to yield to our ob
jections. If your favorite cannot obtain the i
I required two-thirds vote, then yon, your- j
selves have solemnly declared by your own
action that lie ought not to be nominated
Each member ot the minority has the saino
rights of opinion that any member ot the
majority possesses. Each one of you fa
vors Mr. Harris. Each one, of in objec s
to lus nomination. You claim to be honest
iu favoring him. We are equally honest in
opposing him. Yon cannot under your
! own rule, nominate him over onr obj c
lions. No v eiv<? us somebody upon whom
we can all unite. Name your man. Nt
any man to be t Harris, anv good man,
whom you. yourselves, think worthy of
your own suppi rt. “ This was what we
said to tire majority. But they ndu-c * *o
be governed b* heir own two thirds u’e,
and broke up the Convention to e ope
from its operations.
J But it is argued it would liavw been un
reasonable and unjust to require the major
ity to be governed by the minority. The
1 answer to tJn- is, that iri the ease under
: consideration the majority, themselves, fix
ed the law bv which they were to bo gov
erned. By corn pi \ ing with that rule they
would not have gone to the minority, but
would have Kimplv carried out their own
1 will as expressed in the resolution iu‘.r< -
diiced and adopted by themselves.
But it is said that the people desired the
nomination of Mr. Harris. This is no more
than a naked assumption. In no one of tho
! counties in the District lias there been an
I expression of such a desire by anything ap-
I preaching a full vote ot the party. Even in ,
the county of Carroll, where the most ener
j getic efforts were used by Mr. Harris and j
i his agents, he did not receive half of the 1
Democratic vote*!. He prevailed over his ;
' competitor, but over nobody else. In not
; a single county have (he people declared in
any manner whatever, that they prefer Mr.
Harris to all other persons. There are
j many gentlemen in the District who stand as j
1 high in the esteem and confidence of the
people as he does, and there has been no
j popular intimation given, (hat some ono of
them would not be preferred to him. Ho
| mnch for this. It is said that the minority
were opposed to remanding the, whole sub
ject of the nomination back to tho people.
That they objected to Whittle's resolution,
and thereby showed that their opposition
to Harris was factious. In no act of the
majority during the tedious days of the Con
vention, did they show more clearly the
want of good faith by which they were gov
erned, than in this resolution. When Whit
tle offered his resolution he invited opposi
tion to it by saying that if objected to, he
would at one ' withdraw it. A recital in th
preamble was objected to, whereupon Mi-
Whittle very promptly withdrew tho resoltr
tion. It was quite clear that he was afraid
to allow tho measure to reraaiu long before
the Convention.
A proposition to remand to tho people
was made by tho minority at Columbus,
and was uot even considered by the majori
ty. Again at Nownan, when the ttunl reso
lutions under which the Convention was ad
juorned wero being discussed, motion to
amend so as to simply remand to the
people lor their action was made. It was
urged that there was still time for another
Convention to be assembled. This did n< t
suit the majority, and they would not coti
>ent to the amendment.
But what were our objections to tho n m
ination of Mr. Harris ? In answer to this
question we shall be brief. We felt it to be
our duty to insist upon the nomination of a
candidate upon whom the party in the dir -
trict would unite Wo were satisfied that
the selection of Mr. Harris would divide the
party. We were fully advised that many
Democrats, certainly approaching to a me.
jority in some ot the counties of the dis
trict, would not vote for him, if nominated.
Under these circumstances it beciiiYe onr
honuden duty to resist his nomination, and i
to insist up -n the selection of some olhe ■
fin* whom the party as a whole, would voh .
Duong the objections urged against Mr.
Harris, were the following:
1, It was nllcrged that his positon on the
currency and lona questions was not
known. That he had declined to give his
opinion thereon, staling as the reason, that
he was not prepared to do so. It was fur
ther said, that he had advised to qmetess
and conservatism upon the sul j- ct, lest of
fence might bo taken at us at the great mon
ey centres. Tho people did not understand
hi* Mr. Ila iris after six years service in
Congress was without any opinion upon the
vital question referred to. St ill less could
they see the propriety ol consulting the
wishes and feelings ot those who rule at the
money centres.
It was charged that Mr. Harris had been
laboring to array class ugainst class, in his
district, and that to accomplish the purpose
he lad appealed to prejudices of the far
mers. Hi* animosity scums to have been
directed against the legal profession espec
ially, and lie has lohL no opportunity of
pandering to unresonable prejudices
against it. Tho people want a Congress
man who can at least rise to the plane of a
broader statesmanship than such conduct
exhibits.
3. On the night of the Otli of August las',
Mr Harris addressed the people of Colum
bus. During the speech, some person in
the .'.udieuce called his attention to a rumor,
to the effect that he had, while with his
command at Griffin Ga., in the late war,
cut off his Colonel's stars from his uniform;
and he was asked for an explanation. We
extract, verbatim, from the speech, as re
ported in the Times of the next morning,
the explanation he gave of tho circumstance
mentioned: “As to pulling off my stars and
hiding my sword, I did it; my company was
at GlilVm; they were at Boar creek, just
above; I knew wo would all be captured; 1
took my men into a grove. I hid my sword
in a log and cut off my stars, because I
knew il 1 were caught wiih them 1 would be
treated better than my men. To share their
fate, if captured, i did this; and I consider
it one of tho most heroic acts ot my life.
Those men who witnessed it appreciate it,
and the last one of them will support me to
day.'*
We have no criticisms to make upon this,
except to nay that Bear creek is several
milas distant faom Griffin; that Mr. Harris
did not know that all his party would bo
captured, f<*r they were not captured; that
we understand that it was the practice of
General Win rman, when he captured old
men and boys belonging to the malitia, to
send the privates to their homes and to re
tain the officers as prisoners of war; that wo
feel quite sure that Mr. Harris, was mistak
en to the motive which prompted him in
laying violent hands upon his own stars
and hiding his sword; that if he lmd so
much desired to share the fate of his private
soldiers, ho would never have donned the
stars and sword at all, but would have
shouldered his musket, and entered the
ranks as a private; and that Mr. Harris did
not, it we arc correctly informed, share the
fate of his, after he had, in the manner me -
tinned, reduced hims< If to the ranks; t ut
ihat, while they went, to the war, he return
ed to liis home. We add that according to
information, Mr, Harris was mistaken in
supposing lhat, all these men will support
him for UougroHs. He may think that he
acted heroically, but vve think ho will find
few to agree with him.
We have stated as briefly as we could in
justice to ourselves, the reasons which con
trolled our action in the late 00-ivdotion.
Wo have done so with as little harshness of
expression as was consistent with a plain
statement of the facts We recommend no
candidate to the people for their suffrages.
We were not in fho Convention in the inter
est of any particular man out of the whole
party. Our powers ceased as delegates
1 when the majority, by force o* members, ad
joiirwd the Con vention. Against that act
; w*; protested, and still protest, satisfied as
we arc that it was nnwisely prompted by v.
I mere devotion to the cause of one man and
not by proper regard for the interest of the
part), liespectiully submitted,
