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.
