State Senator.
I tidcr the above heading we find
iho following in the Talbot ton Stan
dard of last week:
Talbotto.v, Ga., May 11th, 1874.
Deak Standard: —l notice iu the Tho
m of the lGth of May, under the
head, State Senate, the question projamuded,
which f the counties, composing the Sen
atorial district, is entitled to the next Sena
tor, und suggesting a call lor a convention
to settle the question, and requesting Harris
md Talbot counties to speak out. As 1 have
■een no reply from Talbot, it you will tavor
me with a short space in your columns, I
will give my opinion or what the answer of
Talbot will be, and the reason for it. Tal
bot will not favor a call lor a Convention to
settle which County is entitled to the next
Senator, first because it presupposes this
District had adopted the rotation system of
selecting Senators; which is not the fact, as
I now propose to show from the history of
the District since its organization. Be it
remembered that the Senatorial Ditrict was
created under the Consitution of 1861. and
in tha fall of the same year Dr. Kendall, of
Talbot, announced himself as a candidate
for the Senate, and was voted for and elected.
The next two Senators were Cols. Ramsey
and Redding, of Harris, lxith of whom an
liounced themselves as Kendall had done,
without being nominated, or the ratification
of a Convention. Then it is certain tip to
this time there had been no rule adopted
looking to rotation, for we had never so much
as Imd a Convention, and therefore could
have adopted no rule on the subject. The
first Senatorial Convention held in this dts
triet was in 1869, and nominated Mr. Bird
song of Upson; and the second and last in
1870 which nominated Dr. W. I*. Mathews,
both of whom were nominated on account
of tlieir merit and supposed availability, and
not on account of any rule givin g them
priority. But if rotation is the rule in this
District we would oppose the proposod con
vention because I do not think its action
would have any binding force upon a con
vention that would be afterwards called to
nominate; but ifit did bind said convention,
it would ite objectionable because the con
vention called to nominate a Senator should
lie unfettered, so that it could survey the
w hole District and select the man whose
election would l>cst promote the interest ot
the Districts as well as the State at large,
regardless of counties or county lines.
A Voter.
•Several weeks ago, we published an
article suggesting a convention for the
purpose of determining which county
is entitled to the Senator, or rather
the democratic candidate for Senator
for this District, and asked Talbot
and H: inis counties to speak out on
this subject. We were led to make
this suggestion, because we are in
clined to the opinion that Upson is
entitled to the candidate, and having
heard that tlieir exists a difference of
opinion in the District on this subject,
we thought a convention of the coun
ties the better way of settling the
question.
The communication, clipped from
the Standard, signed “A Voter,”
shows very plainly what the opinion
of the writer is on this subject, but
we hope it is not a reflex of the opin
ion of any considerable portion of the
people of Talbot. But fearing, that if
we fail to reply, our silence may be
construed into acquiescence in the
correctness of “A Veters” position,
and the people of Talbot thereby led
to adopt the same as correct, we pro
ceed to make a short reply.
“A Voter” says Talbot will not
favor a call for a convention, to settle
which county is entitled to the next
Senator, and adds, “because such a
convention presupposes this District
bad adopted the rotation system of
selecting Senators,” which supposi
tion, says “A Voter,” “is not true,
as I now propose to show from the
history of the District.” He then
foes on to say that the Senatorial
)istrict was created in 1861, that the
first candidate was Dr. Kendall, from
Talbot, that the second and third
candidates were from Harris, that
these gentlemen were never nomina
ted, but announced themselves as
candidates, and adds “that it is cer
tain up to this time there had been
no rule adopted, looking to rotation,
for we had never so much as had a
convention and could not have adop
ted a rule on the subject.
“A Voter” is right, when he says,
that to call a convention to determine
which county is entitled to the Sena
ator, presupposes that the District had
adopted the rotation rule; and should
a convention be called for that pur
pose, it would only presuppose what
is the exact truth, as we will main
tain and show from the history of the
District.
“A Voter” thinks, because Kendall,
Ramsey and Redding were self-consti
tuted candidates, that is, not put
pnt forward by a convention, that the
rotation rule could not have been
adopted—that it would require a
convention and the adoption of a pos
itive rule on this subject. We do not
think so, nor do we think the people
of the district so think.
The rotation rule has been adhered
to in this District and in other dis
tricts, and we have never heard ol a
single instance where the rule was
positively adopted by action of a con
vention. Such a rule is adopted and
put in operation by consent, and
afterwards adhered to as rigidly, as
if it were a positive enactment. In
other words, such a rule is the result
of usage, and is none the less binding,
bacause not in writing.
Rules, the result of usage, are re
farded just as binding in deliberative
odies (a great many of such rules
prevail in the IT. S. Senate) as if they
■were the work of committees and de
liberative bodies and incorporated in
the code of laws for the government
of such bodies.
The infraction of a custom or usage
of the British Parliament, or of the
U- S. Senate, will bring a member of
Parliament or an old Senator to his
feet just as quick, and who will de
mand the enforcement of such custom
or usage, with as much zeal as he will
the enforcement of a written rule
adopted by a vote after solemn argu
ment. We claim that the rotation
rule has obtained here, as we will
hereafter show, and the fact that it
may not have its origin in any posi
tive enactment, but depends on usage
for its existence makes it none the
fees binding on the Democrats of the
District
We insist that it is a rule, made so
by custom and usage, and is binding
on the Democrats, and to urge that it
was never adopted by any convention
is no reason against its enforcement.
*‘A \ oter” puts forth another idea;
that these three candidates were not
made so bv the District, and cannot
therefore (this we take to be his mean
ing) he counted against tho counties
in which they lived. That is, be
cause Kendall was ail inde]indent
candidate he would not fie counted
for Talbot, as one candidate under
the rotation idea, and because Ramsey
and Redding were independent candi
dates they should not fie counted for
Harris, as two candidates under the
rotation idea.
This we take to be his meaning,
and if not his meaning, clearly such
is the result of his reasoning upon this
subject.
V ell, admit that Kendall was an
independent candidate, he was the
candidate from Talbot, and was sup
ported by the i>eople of Harris and
Lpson as such. What difference did
it make to L pson or Harris, whether
Kendall was a regular or an irregular
candidate, so lie was endorsed by
Talbot us the candidate from Talbot,
and thus Upson and Harris induced
to support him? It will not do to say
that Upson and Harris supported him
because he was the most available man,
for whilst it is true that Dr. Kendall
was a man of fine ability and of un
doubted fitness for the position, still
then} were men in Upson and Harris
of equally as much ability, and of
largely more experience, who desired
the place, but wfio were not encour
aged to, run by the people of Upson
or Harris, and in this way the first
candidate was conceded to Talbot.
Kow pray tell us the difference in a
candidate selected, or rather run in
this way, and one selected by a con
vention? And why not charge Talbot
county with Kendall, as a candidate,
who was supported as such by both
Upson and Harris counties, just as
though he had been nominaten by a
convention. The same we can say of
the two candidates from Harris, Kani
sey in 1803 and Redding in 1865.
These two men, although they may
have boon independent candidates,
were supported by the people of Har
ris, as the candidates of Harris, and
were likewise supported by the people
of Upson and Talbot as candidates
from Harris;
Talbot or Upson could have run a
candidate each, or could have united
on one candidate in 1863 and beat the
H arris man, but they determined to
support the Harris candidate, conce
ding the right to Harris to have the
candidate in 1863. In 1865 Upson
should have claimed the candidate,
but did not do so, and the candidate
came again from Harris. Talbot and
Upson again supported the candidate,
conceding tho candidate again to
Harris. Now why not charge Harris
with these two candidates? and why
not if these candidates were conceded
to different comities, as we have said,
infer from this that the rotation rule
was adopted by common consent, just
as effectually as if a convention had
been culled, had nominated the can
didates and had so declared the rule
to be.
But \vc have other proof still of the
correctness of our declaration, wnen
we assert that the rotation rule was
adopted in this District and lias been
adheared to.
In the convention of 1870, the dele
gates from Upson claimed the candi
date for Upson. The Upson delegates
claimed the candidate on the ground
that Upson had only had one candi
date, that he had been unsuccessful,
and as such they were entitled to the
candidate again.
Talbot stoutly contested Upson’s
claim and said in reply Upson had had
one candidate and should be charged
with it, though her candidate had
been unsuccessful, that Talbot had.
had but one. Upson had had a can
didate since Talbot and and that it
was Talbot's time to name the candi
date. Harris agreed with Talbot (we
think properly so) and Upson yielded
and Talbot presented Dr. Mathews.
One of the leading delegates from
Talbot went so far as to say, that it
was Talbot’s time then and would be
Harris’ time next. What did the del
egates mean by claiming it was the
time of their respective counties to
put forth the candidates? What did
the prominent delegate mean when he
said, it was Talbot’s time then and
would be Harris’ time next? Did
they not-"mean to say that under the
rules which they recognized as bind
ing the counties had and would ro
tate, and that the only controversy
was, as io which county under the
rule was entitled to the candidate.
Most assuredly the convention of 1870
meant to Bay that the rotation rule
was of force in this District and had
been recognized previously. For if
the rule had not been previously rec
ognized and the convention was then
for the first time adopting it, why say
it is the time of this or that county’s?
Why not say such a county should
take the first under this new rule?
The very action of the convention of
1870, independent of the previous
history of the District which we have
alluded to, is proof conclusive that
the rotation rule was recognized as
binding, from the organization of the
District up to that time, and would
be recognized in the future.
“A \ oter” says that Birdsong and
Matliews were selected for their avail
ability Birdsong was selected by the
Upson delegates, doubtless on the
idea that he was the most available
man in Upson and the other counties
supported him, because he was put
forward by Upson. So it was with
Dr. Mathews. He doubtless was the
most available man in Talbot and that
was likely the reason the Talbot people
put him forward, but it was not the
reason that Upson and Harris sup
ported him. Upson had men and so
did Harris that could have been made
fully as available as Dr. Mathews, and
one Talbot man was about as available
with the Upson and Harris people as
another, but because the candidate
had been conceded to Talbot and
Talbot had nominated him, Upson
and Harris felt it their duty to sup
port him actively, which was done.
It-must be conceded, for it cannot
be denied, that in 1870 the rotation
rule was recognized and the nomina
tion was made in accordance with the
rule. W e are sorry to know that af
ter 1 albot claimed* the Senator under
the rotation rule in 1870, “Voter”
should now say that no such rule had
ever prevailed in this District, that
when it was Talbot’s time under the
rule, Talbot claimed the benefit of the
rule, but when it is the time now of
another county. “A Voter” (we hope
no one else) asserts that there never
w;rs such a rule, that the candidate
should be selected without reference
to locality Ac.
W o think we have established the
fact that the rotation rule has been
adopted and adheared to in this dis
trict, Let us therefore inquire as to
the meaning and intention of such a
rule.
The object of such a rule, evidently
was to prevent discord and insure
harmony in the district. The idea,
which in part gave birth to rotating,
was if a candidate was selected alone
for his availability, one county might
furnish all the candidates and there
fore all the Senators, and should
questions arise in the Senate in which
the interests of the counties should
conflict, the Senator would take sides
with his own county, and in this way
the other counties of the District
would be perpetually at the mercy of
the lucky county on all questions.
The rule was also adopted to prevent
union of Iwo counties against one, to
deprive the one of a Senator. To
prevent this and to assimilate the
present district system, as nearly as
possible, to the old plan of having
a Senator from each county, by re
quiring that each county in turn
should have a Senator or a candidate
for Senator, the rule was adopted.
It will be remembered that the pres
ent district system was at first unpop
ular. The people desired a Senator
from each county and something of
the kind—something like the rotating
rule—was necessary to reconcile the
people to the district system. Tho
great object of the rule being, that
eacli county should be equal in Sena
ators or in candidates for Senator
that no one county should have the
advantage of another, or that no two
counties should unite to.defeat the
right of one county in this equality.
Perfoci equality, we repeat, is the
meaning and intention of rotating.
Tried by this test, which of the three
counties composing this district, is
entitled to the Senator? We think
Upson is. Talbot had a candidate in
1861, Harris in 1863 and again in
1865. Upson had a candidate in 1868
and Talbot in 1870. How then do
tbe counties stand as to equality,
either in Senators or in candidates for
Senator. Talbot has had two, Har
ris two and Upson one. Upson yield
ed to Talbot in 1870, because Upson
had had tho last candidate and they
had each had one. But such is not
the case with Harris and Upson, for
while it is true that Upson has had a
candidate since Harris, it is equally
true, that Harris has had two to our
one.
But it is said, bv some, that we lost
our right in letting Harris have the
candidate in 1865, and that rotating
mean a eimply to go round from one
county to another, and no one county
should have two candidates, until the
other two have had a candidate, and
as we have had one since Harris, it is
now the time of Harris, although
Harris has had two to our one. \Ye
answer these suggestions in this way.
We say we did not lose our right when
we failed to insist on the candidate in
1865. That it was not understood
that such v ould bo the effect of our
failure to insist upon having the can
didate, and before it can be set up
that we arc estopped from claiming a
candidate in lieu of the one in 1865,
it must be shown that it was under
stood at the time by us, and that such
would be the result of our course.
For before we can be held to have
waved our rights, we must have in
tended to have done so. The fact
that Harris took the candidate in 1865,
puts her in this position: that she
must wait until the other counties
have as many candidates.
The idea that rotating means, in the
sense in which it has been used, in
reference to nominating candidates,
simply to go round, is in our opinion a
great mistake. It means, as we have
before stated, more than simply to go
round. It means equality and an
equal number of candidates. If each
county i;i its turn, nominates a can
didate, the meaning of rotating, as
claimed by some is correct. But when
one county, because it docs not desire
to put forth a candidate, permits an
other to do so, such county is not
required to wait until the other coun
ties have each had candidates. In
such case, the comity yielding for the
time, to another county, Mould be
entitled to be made equal with such
county at any timo equality is de
manded.
In this matter we demand equality.
We demand that before Harris shall
have another candidate, we shall have
one. For if it be otherwise, there
will be no equality, as Harris will have
had three candidates to our one. We
put it then to any candid mind, if it
is not just and equitable for Upson to
have the candidate. Is it not just
and equitable to make Upson equal to
Harris, before Harris shall have an
other candidate, and if it would not
be manifestly unjust and inequitable
for Harris to have the candidate for
this year and get three candidates to
our one.
\\ e think Upson entitled to the
Senator and we think Upson should
contend for the candidate. In order
that this matter, so far as the claim
of our county is concerned, may be
settled, we suggest that a convention
of the people of Upscn be held at the
Court-house on the first Saturday m
July, to consider first, our claim to
the candidate and second whether we
will iusist on our claim in the district
convention. This convention might
also select delegates to attend the
Senatorial Convention at such time
and place as the District Convention
shall assemble.
We make these suggestions and hope
the Executive Committee will call a
convention of the county at once, for
the purpose above indicated. Before
quitting this question, we will say that
we have nevir favored the adoption of
the rotation rule, but as it is adoptee
in this district, justice and equity de
mand that i should be adhered to, at
least, until the counties are made
equal. We demand that it shall be
adhered to, until we-are made equal
with the oilier counties., because we
have been kapt from running candi
dates, beecuee of thm rule, and when
we are made equal, if it is the desire
of the other counting we will say de
part from the rule and select the most
available man.
If the functions of the Executive
Committee kave ceased, we hope a
number of citizens will sign a call for
a convention for the purposes above
indicated.

blood impart healtli, beauty and goed flesh, or

hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health,
beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and happiness.
