True To Party.
It has been charged against General
Gordon that he was encouraging in
dependents to como out in several
counties to oppose regular nominees,
who were known to be against him.
The following two letters recently
written by Governor Gordon, will put
at rest these charges:
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1890.
Dr. II. V. Hardwick, Conyers, Ga:
My Dear Doctor—Your letter is
just received. I should have written
to my friends beforo this but for my
absence.
I deeply deplore any split in the
democratic party; and iwbi'.o inde
pendents are being put out in Burke,
and I hear in other counties, to run
against nominees who have declared
for mo, yet my invariable rule has
been to insist that my friends in every
case, no matter how it afiected my
candidacy, should vote for the regular
nominees of the party. I have done
this in the case of Hall county, of
Gwinnett, and various localities. I
will write to my warm friends in
Rockdale and ask them to vote for
tho nominee, whether he ho for me or
against me. I had rather lose the
votes of these counties than sec a
breach in democratic ranks.
You arc at liberty to use this in
any way you see fit, for I never have
secrets in any matters that affect the
public good. We cannot nfford to
have dissensions in democratic ranks
however grave the injustice to any
candidate.
I am being grossly misrepresented
to my Alliance friends all over Geor
gia; but I have an abiding faith in tbe
intelligence and manhood of the mem
bers of the brotherhood and do not
believe they can be deceived in refer
ence to . my long devotion to their
cause and principles.
Your friend,
J. B. Gordon,
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1890.
Hut. A. M. Helm, Ccnyers, Ga :
My Dear Mr. Helm—You know my
lienrt is full of gratitude to you aud
my friends for your devotion to me
and my political fortuues; but let me
beg you not to place in jeopardy the
integrity of tho democratic party in
Rockdale. I had rather lose Rock
dale’s vote than seo tho party of our
safety rent in twain.
Sincerely your friend,
J. B. Gordon.
No man cun read these letters with
out giving General Gordon credit for
being true as tried steel to the demo
cratic party. Ho subordinates his
personal claims and nmbition to the
good of the party. Could nny man
do more? No, no, there is no truer
man in Georgia titan John B. Gor
don.
The record of the flrat session of
the 51st congress wit' be m?Jc up to
