Vena The Democrats of Colauitt County in a Muddle. Our democratic friends in Colquitt county are in a muddle. A large number of democrats, who claimed that republicans had a hand in tie nomination, refused to go into ths primary last week. Hon. John A. Alderman withdrew the day before the primary, and Air. Odum, who is regarded as the alliance candidate, received 207 votes. If Air. Odum was regularly nominated by demo cratic methods, without the interven tion of republicans, he is entitled to the suppoxt of the party; on the contrary, if bis nomination was not in accordance with democratic rules nud methods, then the party is clearly absolved from any obligations to sup port him. We know nothing of the merits of the dificrcnces, and can only express the hope that the democrats of Colquitt comity, true aud tried, as they have always .been, will adjust tho matter satisfactorily, next AVcd- nesday, tit the general election, and send a good man to the legislature.
