adieu.
r riic records of the past t< 11 us of the
sad strains of exiles breathed when
leaving their native lands; of lovers,
when compelled to sever, whispering
but one word—farewell, and of friends
murmuring, do not forget. A\ e hear
in the far distant past, the fai#t voices
of world-renowned poets, singing ot
young loves, as they first smiled in
their birth; of the swift-winged hopes
that were, and of the parting of two
hearts, whose movements once thrilled
in unison sweet. If gifted with the
disefiptive powers of a headier, the
vivid imagination of a Mir and the
extravagant fancy of a 1 Lomcr, i wcm y
to-day spread on this canvass m\
peculiar feelings at parting with the
cherished avocation of my lile.
From vigorous and plastic youth up
to the present moment, I have studied
the art typography. It was the bride
avocation of my early manhood, and i
loath to be divorced.
In the uncertainty and necessities of
change in human avocations, 1 have
this day sold the of line and material ot
the Epson County News to Messrs.
J. C. MeYiichael and J. IE Beverly.
It being tluir purpose to transfer its
pul lieation to Bartlesville, 1 wish their
efforts to enable them to record their
names high on the eternal column ol
journalistic fame, and to amply award
them in a pecuniary po’ut of view, for
their generous endeavors in the advo
cacy of the eternals—principle and
truth.
In offering my compliments, 1 natu
rally turn firs* - to tb so whom 1 owe
the greatest debt of gratitude—the
people of Thome.-Mon and 1 pson
county. .V printers life is well-known
to be a wandering one. At each of
my various locations, 1 have always
found some pleasant features in society
and added new links to the chain of
friendship, brt none have bound me
with the silver chord or the adamantine
chain hut Thomuston. The generous
patronage, the marked favors, the
glowing friendship and the appreciable
courtesies place me under enduring
obligations to these people.
Here I wish to say that though 1
have disposed of my interest in the
News, destiny does not disjoin us. My
purpose is to engage in Family Gro
cery business in Thomaston and a
continuance of past favors is heartily
* solicited.
The Press of the State have my
si. cere thanks for the kindness they
hav 4 manifested toward me while in
char* of Hie News, and for the many
many visiles for my success in the
enterprise In parting with you 1 can
not say a Romeo to Juliet:

Come enthusiastic Radical admirer
of tl is Radical eaudid.pv for Governor,
has written of him a iyogrt oiiieal sketch,
tilling t v o and a liaif.orjj'.ree columns
in a newspaper. Tin sketch is very
poorly gotten uj>, but we suppose'about
as good as could be made, the subject
and attending circumstance, “oumder
ed. It is mainly made up of Vs ilker's
struggles iu early life and his political
infamy in bis latter life. Y\ e are ever
wady to sympathise with and respect
the etforts of self-made men until, they
do something to forfeit our confidence.
This Judge Walker las done, ' va
i ions instances. Two points iu his
Radical biography are noteworthy—
one in reference t< bis reconstruction
course, and tlie other in reference to liis
, patriotic and laborious duties In at
tempting tt> reform the “civil service. ’
11 i biographer sat s: “Judge Walker
seeing the failure of Johnson’s plan of
! reconstruction, urged the people to
adopt the Congressional plan.”
\Ye ask when and how did Johnson's
plan fail ? Simply by such men as
Dawson A. 'Walker—urging the people
to adopt the Congressional plan. The
maddened, and reckless plan of Congress
was adopted through the efforts of such
men as Walker, which encouraged
Thaddcus Stephens and others of the
Radical school ad discouraged the
D reunion!'. The Bics'X t ♦ V. plan never
failed until ) lie Congressional plan
sue. , (Xioi. So when \\ alker favored
tiie latter, lie opposed the former.—
Now what were the two plans? John
son, as did Lincoln before his death,
favored a reconstruction of the gov
ernment by a return of each State to
the Union with constitutions abolishing
shivery, but reserving to the States
the right of local self-government.—
Congress favored and adopted the plan
which destroyed the States, elevated
the negro over the white man, and bn- ;
der a suspension of the Writ of Habeas
Corpus placed the liberty of every
citizen in the hands of one man.
Johnson’s plan was to obey the Con
stitution-respect the right's of the States
and personal freedom and restore a
friendly union. Congress violated the
Constitution, destroyed the States,
swept away all safeguards to per
sonal liberty, degraded and hn
miliated the South and es
tablished a forced Union. Read
er, which plan do you think was lies'
and which plan do you think Walker ■
should have favored ? The Congres
sional plan produced results of which
numbers of Republicans arc now
ashamed, and the Liberal movement is
inaugurated to cheek the further con- i
tin nance of such dangerous results.
But this man Walker is still unsatis
fied—he desires a continuation of the
Congressional plan, and of Grant. Is
anything further needed to consign
him to political infamy
As to liis civil service labors, his
biographer (or Ids autobiography) says
he labored hard together with Ids
associates in reforming the civil service
and that the “-nnpresa of thin great man"
is seen in the great good accomplished
by them. Will anybody tell us the
good derived from their labors? What
.s H.c result of their labors ? Their 1
labors, as we ’understand, resulted in
'he establishment <d certain rules for •
reforming the civil service, which liavt
never been adopted and which Grant j
never has, nor ne-v< r intended to en-!
force. The rules were reported mouths
: end months ego, and still Grunt con
tinues to appoint inefficient and un
worthy kinsmen and “gift bearing
Greeks” to oltice. Walker's civil ser
vice labors is a humbug, and so intend
ed by him and hi s associates and the
board of civil service reformers was
only created to give employment to
sue!s renegades as Walker and iris
associates. Walker drew a large
amount month after month from the
public Treasury, knowing at the same
ti.ine that he was doing the country no
service. If he is ail honest man and
meant to serve the country by framing
rules for reforming the civil service, lie
certainly knows that Grant is dishonest
in not enforcing them and lie should
ignore Grant. Does he do this’ I>y
no means. With a full knowledge of
the fact that Grant has ignored his
rules, he supports him for a re-election.
This only shows that Walker is either
too pliant a tool of lladicalism to ig
nore Grant for a contemptuous disre
gard of the civil service rules, or lie is
as corrupt and dishonest as Grant, in
supporting him in his refusal to enforce
resolutions which he deems to be right.
With these remarks we dismiss the
foul creature of the Grant dynasty,
together with his disgusting autobiog
raphy.
flow It \Va'.
The well-known Radical, J. E. Dry
ant, in assuming the editorial manage
ment of the Savannah Journal, a
Grant, WfisoTi and Walker org; n, lias
anew way of accounting for Bullock's
corruption and thieving. Every white
man in the State who has read at all,
or knows anything about Bullock’s ad
ministration, can judge for themselves.
But Bryant thinks the negroes are ig
norant and will knew no better. He
says:
I favored the nomination of Mr. Bullock
for Governor by our party. I never labored
for any one wish more earnestness; I new ••
ivu.-ied a man more implicitly. When he
betrayed us: appointed Democrats to office,
a.id sustained the theiws who have robbed
our people, and brought disgrace upon our
party, 1 opposed him. Gov. Bullock lias
many noble traits of character, which great
ly endear him to bis friends, but he Was
surrounded by the most internal seminar. Is
I have ever known.
We would like for Mr. Bryant to
have specified those Democratic ap*
V glees. This b, the first time we
have ever heard of them. Even in as
corrupt a mnu as Bryant, that princi
ple of human nature which causes man
to abuse bis fallen friend, is manifest.
We agree with him that Bullock was
surrounded with infernal scoundrels,
snob as Bryant, Blodgett, Kimball and
others. How can Bryant say that he
was corrupted by any one when he
went into office with the declaration
.u his lips: “I AM ON THF MAKE.”
In other words, be Intended to sny
that it was his purpose to rob the
; State of millions, by i ndng spurious
and illegal bonds; the ’ Blodgett
Cos., intended to rob the State Road
of hundreds of thousonds of dollars;
that he intended to use me pardoning
power for corrupt political purposes,
and that he intended to subordinate
the civil to the military authority.
This is the character of the party in
Georgia since the war, and what more
can we expect than a " tarn of such
an administration, it Dawson A. VN alk
er is el !.
Remember that Bryant, the spokes
man of the party, gets around Bill
lock's corruption and thieving by say
ing that he appointed Democrats that
did it.
To our Str« iytit K. i ml*.
Now tliat tlm Louisville Convention
has proven to be a farce and a failure,
tire “Straights” must make a choice
between Greeley and Grant. We have
argued with them from our own opin
ions as to what course should be pur
sued. We have endeavored to show
that the issues were between Greeley
and Grant, and that they must take
one or the other. Under ordinary eiiv
cumstflnces we can leave off both evils
and not choose either, but in this case
we are compelled to choose one or the
other. Then let us obey the scriptural
injunction, “of two evils choose the
lesser.”
If you will only listen to brother
'Willingham, of the LaGrange Report
er, who lias been as straight as the
straightest, and be open to reason,
there will be no fears of vour course,
lie says:
As we have said L e issue of nia! ’ng a
elf.-ice of two evil# is ore ented to the- Jes
fersonian Detnocrlfe. and it: is forfTti
decide lor themsel\?s, and each man for
himself, to declare at ine ballot-box prof
ere nee, looking solely as- patriotism h /.cots
to the best interests of the. country. 'Tin y
cannot consistently decide in favor of (I-rani,
because he is emphatically the representa
tive of centializcd government, indeed,
lie lias given us tour years of personal op-’
pressive government as obnoxious as abso
lute monarchy itself. In bis admin; -{ration
be lias overleaped all barriers of constitu
tional government in the execution of the
partisan legislation of ids Radical Con
lie and bis administration have become ex
tremely odious to eveiy true friend of liber
ty, and his re-election would only be a li
cense to his bather aggressions upon civil
liberty in a second administration. Scbish
and ambitious, feeling none of the restraints
of. civil law, he would not scruple, should a
suitable occasion arise favoring* ULs designs,
to take the government into bis own hands
and employ the strong arm of the military
to sustain bis assumed power for the oppres
sion ot the people and the overthrow' ol free
government in this country.
I pon the oilier hand, and while we may
detest w hat we conceive to be the tendency
ot Mr. Greeley's political views, we are at
least promised better government; we are
promised local •self-government, perhaps
with such regfflctl un M . Greeley’s i’ 5
or paternaLgovernment will permit, m> far
as he 1-iU.j be enabled to enforce tlmm; we
arc promised the supremacy of the civil an- i
lliority ovir tiic* militarypower, and tl#*

mg the white man an equal chance \vidi the

tion of Mr. Greeley, while the re-election
o! Gen. Grant promises not him-' more than
his past administration has given us.
these constitute the dill ere nee between
die two men. However small this ditier
t nee may appear to many, still it is a difier
| ( ' li( ' e * n favor of better government than we
now have, i lie difierence is in favor of
; Gicele} and against Grant. It constitutes a
| ttffierence that must decide the vote of every
, Democrat in tavor of the Liberal movement
:it he votes at all. To choose the worse of
t\*o euLs would be J'cnocratic insincerity
which e (Jo not I elieve exists in the bo
i wins ot Jeflp_sonian Democrats. As patri
( l • b they vote at all, they cMiuet prove
taise to their professions cf lovaltv t good
' government by taking the* worse mam
especially wlien that man is the represent:-,-
ti\e (>1 the political forces most inimical to
the interests of one section in favor of the
other. Grant is sectional to the detriment
o. the couth ; Greeley proposes equality be
tween the States upon whatever code of po
litical ethics he may control the government
to the extent of his { >wer as President of
the i nited States. Dur enemies support
Grant, and our friends Greeley. To \G
ior Grant is to go with onr enemies in favor
of sectional hatred end bitterness; to vote
lor Greeley, is to go with-our friends, al
though in error, as we believe, but -till we
go v.iui our friends, and suffer with them or
prsper with them.
Aornl now in conclusion, we ask our Jef
fersonian friends, is it better to pe; petuate
the Grant dynasty by voting for it, leave it
to succeed without our opposition, or to join
the forces of Greeley to defeat it ? The sue
cess ot either, we believe, is evil to the coun
try; but the question is, 'Which is the great
er of the two evils? Shall we not "endeavor
to defeat tiie greater evil for the lesser one?
Take it as we will, the ordeal is a severe
one for a man whose every impulse is for
b-e true principles of his party and their
maintenance. It is no fault of Jeffersonian
fienu'-crats that such an issue is presented;
bvq .fitpl the issue Is before us and w- cannot
change it. Their past record is before the
country. They stand before the world free
of all blame in bringing such an issue upon
their party. The responsibility rests upon
others, and they are only responsii lc now
in the choice they make between two evils.
It is a trial to be met like men. and will give
testimony of their sincerity in defending the
right, so far as they have the power to do so.
To vote-for Greeley is not a work of love
on the part of .Jeffersonian Democrats; to do
so, arises from imperative demands of duty
in an emergency and under circumstances
which they have been unable to control;
and the best that can be expected of us is,
glia' we deposit our ballots quietly and w itli-
I out fiie dig Gy of enthusiasm, and hope for
best. If Greeky's suheess gives us good
government, then we 1 ve done our duty;
if not, the best we could do \,Vk ‘he lights
before us.
To tile VjU-: i cl'O; iegt.l.
As an old man, <k voted to the best inter
ests ot ; Georgia, and deeply concerned for
her future, and not as a politician, I desire
to address you. a few words for sober reflec
tion.
The electio'n for Governor will be held on
the 2d day of October. There are two can
didates hr tjart office —one a Democrat,
nominated unanimously by a large ami in
telligent (-(invention ot the people, because
of liis patriotic, visi and horn■■■■OadminGtra
tion of the State. Government: flu- other a
. nominated by nr lew white men in a
; convention ojfnegroes, because these white
men and negroes, .ami ; heir candidate, are
opi osed to an honest and patriotic admiuis
; t ration «>t“ the Government. To prove this
pvop< -.i!ior., 1 a.-,k your attention to the
follow ins Tacts:
Keep it befnre the people, that Bullock
■went into office with tin* declaration on Ids
lips-. “I am ox Ti;r. Makv ”
Keep it l-cfore th.c p-ioolc, that Goveriior
Smith went into oltice with this declaration
on his bp ; “1 nm ieve ix t!ie omxipo
texce of Honesty.”
Keep it before the people, that Bullock and
Kimball plundered and robbed the State of
millions of dolltu - by issuing spurious and
illegal bonds!
Keep it before the people, that Bullock,
Blodgett &. Go., robbed the State Road of
hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Keep it before the people, that Governor
Smith, during his short administration, iias
: ccp. b'jvily and successfully engaged in
mt.kiug these rogues disgorge, or in having
them brought to justice, and that, by his
honesty and vigilance, aided by a Democratic
Legislature, he has caused many thousands
of the people's money, thus stolen, to be re
; turned to the Treasury!
i Keep it before tlie 'people, that Bullock
used tlie pardoning power ibr corrupt, polit
ical purposes, and that, during his adminis
tration, the verdicts of juries and the judg
ments ot courts were a nullity, and crime]
was rampant!
Keep ii beiore the people, that, sine.: flw
! election of Governor bmith, The pardoning
i power lias ceased to be us< c for corrupt pur
poses, the judgments of the Courts have
been respected, and there has been a marked
diminution of crime!
Keep it before the people, that, during
Bullock’s administration, scores of our peo
ple, all over Northern Georgia, were drag
ged from their business and their homes,
endin' trumped up Ku-lllux charges, and
carried to Atlanta to have their liberties
sworn away or imperilled by perjured wit
n|s,sc s!
Keep it before tlie people, that since C*
ernor Smith’s accession mortice, tlie Ku-lllnx
organization, if it ever existed, has melted
away, and peace and quiet now reign throuh-
out our borders.
Keep it before the people, tlr.it Bullock
believed in the subordination, of the ci\il to
the n ii Ii try authority; that he invoked the
aid of the late r in arresting so-called crimi
nals, and desired and secured a large garri*-
son in the State to protect him in his \ illakiy!
Keep it before \lie people, that Governor
Smith has demonstrated that, under a.wise
and impartial administration of Urn laws, the
civil power is ample to pr'Wet the liveshuid
liberties of tlie people, and that, in recogni
tion oi l lie fact that iliey arc no longer needed,
the Federal soldiery in this- State have
dwindled to a ‘‘corporal’s tmard. ’’
Keep it before the people, that Governor
Smith's administration bus been the very
opposite of Bullock’s in every par,'; mlar!
Kgcp it prominently before the people,
that Dawson A. Vfalker, he llailieal eaiuli
date for Governor, voted lor and' helped to
el act Bullock; that lie > as his supporter,
advisor and eoumellor v. • ile in oitice, and
now attempts to jus city Be Hock’s thieving
course! ID
Keep it before the peopl., that the elect ion
of Walker would be a via Erail.m of L ' fa u
and a condemnation ot R-niili —It would be'
an emphatic endOrseim t .f corruption and
villainly, and the res', >r.-';,.n to power and
respeetabiliiy of those w,..0 iiav plundered
the Treasury and disgraced the Sta/e. Bul
lock and Blodgett, w ith their theiving crew,
now hiding from the i misters of justice,
would joyfully cateli tlie signal, and, hasten-’
ing back to the tlicuire of their crimes,
would defiantly Haunt their pardons in our
taees.
Democrats, Liberals, r- ‘id all true men of
Georgia, who desire honest and good gov
ernment, ami who are opposed to public
plundering, remember thus, and smy not
away from the polls! Remember, too, that
the enemy is active and thoroughly organ
ized, and will bring every man to the front
on the 2nd of October. You can carrj the
day, if you but will it U. tory is within
the reach of earnest, ectniy effort. I appeal
to Democrats—both “Straight” and “Gree
ley” Democrats —to deter tire Presidential
question, and unite as oye man to retain in
the Executive otiiee the present incumbent, j
Governor trmhh, in whose hands the interest >
of all \ ill be safe.
