FACTS.
It is a fact that when James M.
Smith left the executive chaii the
democratic party in Georgia was har
monious and united.
It is a fact that, at the commence
ment of Alfred H. Golquitt’a term as
governor the democratic party in the
the State was more harmonious, more
united, and stronger fWm it bad ever
been before j and that 1 iiw, before the
conclusion of his term, 1t is more di
vided and inharmonious than it; has
ever been.
It is a fact that Governor Colquitt
admits that he had in his hands a
check for $198,000 payable to him at
the governor (or agent) ot the State
of Georgia, and that he did not put
all this money in the treasury of the
State, bat paid a large portion of it
to-wit, $45,000—to certain lawyers
who claimed that that much of it was
doe them as fees from the State, un
der a contract made with them by
Governor Colquitt’s predecessor, iu
office.
It is a fact that Governor Colquitt
has been known in the State since the
Yazoo Frauds, and that his persist
ent efforts lor renomioation and re-
election have rent the party in twain.
It ia a tact that the purest and
ablest men of the State condemn his
course and are averse to his reelection,
and that every man known or sus
pected to be in the interest of a gi>
gautio railroad ring that is striving
to fasten its grasp on the State is
working for his tlectioip.
It is a fact that not near the half
has been told in the above recital, the
extension of which time and space for
bid, but what is contained in it is
enough, and more than enough to
cause dispassionate, unprejudiced,
thinking men, whose chief desire is for
the good of the State and the peace
and harmony ol the party* to vote
against a longer reign of personalism
in Georgia, and for Norwood, Reform
and Purification.
