Ancient History.
It is very tiresome at this late day
11 hear some of the rampant oppo
nents of Gov. Gordon heat ihe air with
the charge that his resignation from
the United States Senate was a triple
bargain between himself, Gov. Col
quilt and Gov. Brown. The people
of Georgia have already investigated
this charge and passed upon it. They
passed upon it when Senator Brown
was re-elected to the United States
Senate. They passed upon it when
Colquitt was re elected to the guber
natorial chair, and soon afterwards
when he was elected to the Senate.
They passed upon it again when, four
years ago, Gordon was elected Gov.
ernor by an overwhelming vote ol the
people.—Enquirer-Sun.
Prepare Your Tickets.
The state election comes off soon.
The last legislature ordered three
amendments to the constitution to be
submitted to the people lor ratification,
and those who are charged with the
duty of having the tickets printed
should sec to it that the amendments
are stated correctly. The amendments
arc as follows:
“For ratification of the amendment
to article 3, section 7, paragraph 7, of
the constitution,’’ (permitting first
reading of Senate and House bills by
reading the title only).
“For ratification ot the amendment
to article 7, section i, paragraph 1, ol
the constitution,” (permitting pensions
to be paid to widows of confederate
soldiers).
“For ratification of the amendment
to article 7, section 1, paragraph i, of
the constitution” (permitting pensions
to confederate soldiers who were resi
dents of this state Oct. 26, 1876 re
moved therefrom thereafter, but arc
now bona fide citizens of said state,
and designating specifically what con
federate soldiers are entitled to pen
sions and amount of pensions for each
class of pensioners).

We extract the following fir, m fhe
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
Ai’oi.oueticai..—Our subscriber*
will not fail to notice the sad condition
of our third page to-day. We had the
form ready for press when Judge Gil
bert, our popular and esteemed Cir-
cuit Judge, called at the office in a
drunken condition, and in his attempt
to hug us to prove his affection, he
knocked the form into “pi." We
hadn’t time to reset the matter, and so
had to leave the page blank. While
we are sorry, it is not our fault. We
can’t even pitch into the judge about
it. He not only owes us 880 borrow
ed money, but controls legal adver
tising to the amount of $800, This is
our position, and we trust our readers
will appreciate it.
