BANNER-WATCHMAN. OFFICIAL ORGANOF CITY AND COUNTY aOBSCRIFTION, $1 SO PER year in ADVANCE. LilQEST CIECULM10IIIIDITHEUT BEOEGli. YANOEV. CRANFORD * OANTT PROP'R8. T. L. OANTT, Editor. HON.ALl.liN D. CANDLER. The grandest political victory ever achieved in Georgia ba* just been won by this gentleman, in the face of over four thousand majority for Mr. Bpeer he dauiitleasly entered the arena as the standard-bearer of democracy and not only overcame those tearful odds, but passed his opponent by a vote which proves that the democracy of our grand old district ure at last arous ed. Independence is buried no deep that even the last notes of Gabriel's horn will not reach it. Our people have asserted their patriotism, and proved to the world that though ouce shattered when t.n enemy invades their section it requires only the ral- lying cry of reusou to again bring them together. Mr. Speer and his friends are dumbfounded at the great levolulion. They cannot understand how such a eliunge in ]>opular sent! meat could have taken place in si short a time. They did not for an in stant count on even defeat, but the re buke that followed it was the most startling surprise of all. Like brave men and good citi/.eim they accept tile decision of the ballot box, and ap plaud with us tlie man who vanquish ed them in honorable battle. As we have said,never in the histo ry ofourstate lias a candidate entered a contest with more feurful odds against him. We had what appeared not only an unsurmountabie majority to overcome, but all the power and machinery of this great government to combat. It was the policy of the republican |>ariy to encourage dissen- tiou in tlie democratic ranks, and we knew that they would lend all the aid in their power to widen tlie breach. Kven some of our most patriotic citi- xens tbougiit it would be a vain light to contest the scat the young indepen dent leader held by such fearful odds, liut still a greater trouble stared us in the fuce—no man could be found will ing to lead what was conceded to be a forlorn hope. Vainly we cast an appealing eye over the district in search of a standard-bearer, but «ach found some good excuse for declining tlie empty bonor. It was at this time that tlie eyes of the Gaiuesville convention rested upon Allen 1). Candler, a quiet gen tleman who was comparatively un known in the district. He, too, had good and solvent reasons for declin ing the nomination, but when that body of representative democrats, with asiugle voice, laid their ottering at his feet, without a moment’s hesi tation he accepted it, with these mem orable words, “if it at much the duty of a man to obey the call* of hit jmrtyathit country.” Like Cinciunatus he was found at work, and like the great Ro man commander lie came forth from ills retirement and lead his people to victory. And such a victory! Allen Candler's triumph is not marred by a single blot upon tlie private character of his opponent; no bloodshed or dis graceful riots ushered in his victory; he tins no apologies to make and iio wounds to heal, lie made the race ns a law-abiding citizen and a gentle man, who appealed only to tlie rrcNim and judg-uu-el of the people, and upon that high ami noble platform was lie elected. The jreopfe of the grund old Ninth, from tlie mountains to the red hills of Middle Georgia, arose in their majesty and redeemed tlie fair name of their section hy plac ing upon the brow of tlie “one-eyed plow Isiy” their brightest crown. All honor to our gallant leader! Twice has this district been wrested from the grasp of our political ene mies, and the second time under tlie lead of Allen Candler, backed by the democracy. Our people owe tills gentleman a debt of g,..Utude that they can never repay, lie lias led them out of darkness and redeemed his country from a yoke beneath which it lins been groaning for four long years. On Tuesday last the old ninth stepped forth and took her place among the solid democratic dis tricts of the south. Never again will any but tlie true banner of democracy float over her ramparts. With such a xtanriard-liearer we feel Invincible. We feel proud of our “little bantam.” anil you will soon hear his clarion notes ringing witli no uncertain sound in the halls of tlie national con gress. lie will then prove not only the champion of unde tiled democracy, but the laboring men of our entire country will have a friend who will ever battle for tliclr rights. was to be heaped upon us. But we had sown the storm and must reap the whirl wind. From every stump In the ninth district lias our name been handled in no complimentary terms by the honor able gentleman whom the people have so recently defeated. Our only redress was to stand Arm at the helm of democ racy and trust to the people to say whether or not they bell'eved u* guilty!’ Their verdict would either via llcate our name or brand u* with every charge made. Never for a single instant have we doubted tlie result. We had an abi ding faith in the patriotism and democ racy of th« ninth district. We have al ways believed that there were enough patriotic, reasoning people within our borders to crush out a party that aimed at tlie very vitality of democracy. All they needed was for the Issues to be propelly set Ix-forc them. This we have attempted to do, without fear or bitter ness. True to our convictions the peo ple answered our appeal, and in elect ing Allen I). Candler to represent them in congress at the same time stamped as false tlie slanders upon our name. Not only in our own behalf, but for our help less little children, we thank them. Ilud the people elected Mr. Speel, it would have been an unmistakable endorse ment of every calumny that bas been heaped upon tlie head of tlie editor of this paper, for at him were tlie batteries of abuse turned. Not only from tlie lips of Mr. Speer himself, but from tlie papers isiili within and without the dis trict that espoused bis cause came an unbroken flow of nbuse. We stood tlie ordeal, trusting tlie justice of our cause witli the |a>ople. We were told time and And Governor Stephens spoke up and said that Mr. Speer would be re- elcctcd, and the Banner-Watchman would do It. For oqee the old Com moner arms mistaken; And e%en Michigan has gon*'demo crat. Mark our prediction: The next President of these United States will Wednesday night. Jefferson and MayesviUe each had a torch-light pro cession, and Wlnterville built a bon fire. Independence is buried so deep in the ninth district that we do not think Mr. Speer will ever try to resurrect it. Mr. Speer’s friends are getting over their defeat, and many say they will hereafter vote with the organized. Let ourpolit leal clubs keep up their organization. They have saved the district and will keep It saved. Tli Augusta News predletedan over whelming victory for Speer. We refer them to the returns. A NOTED HOT UNTITLED WOMAN, irrwa the Bason GUks.) THE BANNER-WATCHMAN AND THE CAMPAIGN. We are the recipients of tlie hearty congratulations of hundreds of our friends not only living within but without the district, and no offering we so highly appreciate ns tlie npplause of tlie jieople. It was for them we la bored, and their words of applause is a boon of which a king might woli be proud. While ns huiyble journalists we havo done all in our power to redeem the ninth district fiom the curse of in- dependentiam and unite our scattered ranks, we do not claim all the credit that somo of our partial friends accord us. Without tlie aid and approval of tlie people our efforts would havo been in vain. It only laid in our power to proclaim the truths from the housetops, and trust to tlie patriotism of tlie voters for tlie result. This we have endeavor ed to do, and It seems from the glorious result our words fell upon willing ears. The credit of this victory belongs to no one man, bnt to tlie aroused democracy of tlie district. They it'was who wrest ed tlie scepter from the grasp of so-call ed Independence, and handed it to the only piriy that stands between the souili ami a republican despotism. It any one claa- of our people deserves tlie especial glory ol this triumph it, is the farmers of the country. With almost a single voice they rallied to tlie rescue of their party, anil it was those horny- handed sons ol toil wlio brought us vic tory. When the yeomanry of a country make the cause of a candidate their own, victory Is that day won. We iiaturally fuel a pride in the elec tion of Col. Candler, for his suecess is not only a victory for democracy, but a vindication, by the people themselves, of the private character of the editor of this paper. It is a well known fact that for nearly a year past wo have been tlie recipients of a flood of vituperation and' abuse. Upon our unoffending head was heaped tlie most bitter vials of wrath. Tlie gravest charges'were made against us, and we were accused of acts that should. If true, blast our character foi- ever When twelve mouths ago we In vaded the district and cast the gauntlet at the feet of Mr. Speer we expected and were prepared for a bitter campaign. bu( did not look for the calumny that again that tlie B.vtiner-WaUhnmii would I elect Mr. Speer; but we replied that II exposing a candidate’s political record would elect him we would have to sub mit. But tlie iieople have spoken mid tlie Banner-Watchman to-day stands vindicated. We harbor ill-will and bitterness against no one. When one invades a new territory and attempts to overthrow a party tlist considers iisclf master of tlie field lie must expert to be attacked and to meet with a stout resistance. While assailing Mr. Speer only upon high political grounds, at tlie Min i time we have endeavored to give to our tra- dneers blow for blow. We are now will- ir.g to have n general handshaking, and while exulting over our glorinua victory extend the right hand of fellowship to every true man who wants to return to tlie fold of organized democracy. It is as grand a triumph to them aa for us, and the day is not far diatant when the lion- eat independents will see and appieciate tlie fact. To the organized democracy is Mr. Speer indebted for being wrested from the gJanp of the republican party, that waa seeking to entice him into its Ols. If thin rebuke from hi* constitu ency will cause him to stop where lie is and restrain his ste|>s, in a few years he will have cause to rejoice at what now appeara to him as a mortifying defeat. We have rooted Indejiendence from the district. Never again will it rear its hy dra head in onr borders. It will he the mission now of the Bauner-Wau-hman to heal any and all wounds carved by the late conflict and restore that unity and friendship lietween tlie two factions of tlie democratic party in tlie ninth dis trict, so necessary for tlie continued pros perity of our common country. JUDGE SAMUEL HALL, Of Bibb, Elected to the Bapreme Bench. A Sketch of hie Career. Conititutisii JOtk. Tlie action of tl.e legislature yester day placed upon the bench of the su preme court Judge Samuel Hull, of Macon, une of the heat known and one of the ablest lawyers in Georgia. He was born in Chester county, South Carolina, October 30th, 1820. In 1837 he moved to Crawford, Ga., and was prepared for college by William J. Bingham. He graduated from the State university in 1841. Among his classmates were Colonel L. J. Glenn, of Atlanta, Thomas R. R. Cobb, Gus- tavus J. Orr, state school commission er, and Dr. Joseph Lc Conte, of the university ofCalifornla. The last act of his college career was his initiation of Benjamin H. Hill as a member of the Deinostlienian society. In 1841 he received from Governor Crawford a commission as solicitor general of the Flint circuit. He was an elector on tlie Buchanan ticket in ’. r >6. In 1861 he was sent hy tlie secession conven tion of Georgia as a commissioner to Nortli Carolina. He has been during his mature years emphatically and thoroughly a lawyer. His life has l>een devoted to the practice, and lie lias found in it a satisfactory success. His rank among the lawyers of the state is among the very first. He lias practiced Inw all his life in the same circuit. It was first the Flint and then the Macon circuit was carved out of it. As a jurist and a lawyer, Judge Hall stands deservedly high in Geor gia, and he will go on tlie bench witli the confidence ol the entire legal fra ternity of the state os well as the peo ple generally. Cnndler'H Majority 8,000. ▲ Mistake In 8unnilng up the Returns of the Precincts of tbs Ninth on Tuesday Night. Atlanta Con ft it tit ion. Tlie gentleman who had charge of the additions in yesterday's paper made rt mistake of one thousand. Candler’s vote should have been 13,- 839, but in adding it up it was made 12,836 by a mistake of one in running up the fourth column of the figures. This error was not discovered until it was too late to correct it. Candler’s majority, therefore, instead of being 1.983, |with Towns to hear from, is 2.983. Those who were Interested in the exact result, and added up the precincts, for themselves or even the majorities of the counties, would have discovered this mistake. Candler’s majority will not vary over fifty votes either way from the three thousand. The State Road Lease. Home Courier. The most important measure yet in troduced into tlie legislature—Indeed the only Important one—is the resolu tion of Mr. Brooks, of Floyd, directing the dismissal of the proceedings for the forfeiture of the lease of the Wes tern and Atlantie railroad. These prooeedings were commenced by tlie governor and attorney general in obe dience to a resolution passed hy the last legislature. The progress so far made has only extended to the dispo sal of some preliminary pleas, and no test decision or ruling trap yet been reached. Mr. Brooks' resolution di rects that the suit upon the part of the state be dismissed, and declares that a forfeiture of the lease is not desired by tlie people or necessary for the se curity ofthe state. It is probable that tills question will be one of the hard est contested ones of the present ses sion. Some members declare that the resolution is significant of an appre hension on the part ol the lessees that they will lose the case In the courts, and they therefore wish to be relieved by the legislature. On the other hand, the friends ofthe resolution say that It it not only proper and just in Itself, but that It will save the state useless expense and work no detriment to its mterests. The resolution will no doubt be referred to a committee be fore It is taken up for action by the house and the next proceedings will be upon the report or the committee.
