inst., tob. o'clock a. m., in tbiDeu
pree opera house, for the purpose

GKX. GORDON’S PROBABLE CAN
DIDACY.
Personally the editor of this paper
ts a triend to and admirer of Gen.
Gordon, and when he was so bit
terly assailed tor that untimely and
unfortunate resignation as U. S.
senator \v-- raised our voice and ex
erted our limited influence in dc
fense of his honor and good name.
But Uen. Gordon to day—and we
believe through the instrumentality
of designing politicians—threatens
to place himself in a position that no
fair-minded men can endorse Or fol
low,viz.;»sa dernier tesort candidate
for Governor, brought out as a for
lorn hope by the enemies of Major
Bacon, and for the sole object, of
encompassing that gentleman’s de
feat. If Gen. Gordon announces
himself, the people will clearly see
and understand his object, and he
is sure to receive in the convention
or at the polls a just and withering
rebuke. lie has thousands of warm
friends and admirers throughout
Georgia who stand ready to endorse
and honor this gallant Confederate
qflicer whenever they can do so
without lending their aid to a po
litical scheme that is unfair to a
gentleman whom the people con
sider equally deserving their trust
and support as Gen. John B. Gor
don or any other man—Major Ba
con. Ilsd Gordon’s candidacy been
announced at any other time and
in any other manner than with its
present peculiar ami suspicious
surroundings, the populace would
have hailed his name with acclama
tions ot pride and joy, and he could
have made a gallant fight lor the
high office to which lie aspires; but
should he now enter the arena, it
will be beneath a cloud of public
distrust that, like a pillar of dark
ness, will stand between him and
the goal of his ambition. As sure
as the sun rises in the east and sets
in the west, a defeat, and an over
whelming and mortifying defeat,
too, will be his portion. Even the
great influence of .our two United
States senators, and the combined
political power of Atlanta, cannot
save him. In past contests, this
great political triumviate of our
state stood in the light of being
assailed, and the people, by their
votes, came to their rescue and vin
dication. But now the tables are
turned, and when Gen. Gordon an
nounces his candidacy it will be
looked upon, as an attempt to take
an unfair advantage of a pure states
man and a true democrat, simply
because he is not a member iOf a
certain political clique, that is de
termined to leave no effort untried
to encompass his defeat. So long
as a shadow of hope remained fori
the nomination of Judge Simmons
the contest was left with the two
distinguished gentlemen of Macon;
but when there was discovered
throughout the length and breadth
of the state such an overwhelming
and unmistakable sentiment for
Major Bacon, that even at this
early day announced a triumph
over his adversary, Bacon’s foes
discovered that they must find
stronger man than Judge Simmons.
After vainly casting their eyes over
, , the state, they at last rested on
Florida; and it was then determin
ed, as a last hope, to recall Gen,
Gordon to Georgia, and aee if hit
gallant raihtarj services, backed W
a ring that baa- for years controlled
our politics, could not break the
solid phalanx of democrats that sur
rounded Bacon, and thus defeat
and forever retire to the shades of
private life a man whose only fault
is an avowed determination, if elect
ed Governor of Georgia, to submit
to no dictation except the will of
the people. We cannot believe
that Gen. Gordon, when he sees
for himself the uprising of the
masses in behalf of the adversary
that he must meet, and understands
the true inwardness of the politi
cians that are urging him to enter
the contest, will lend his name to
such an unfair scheme. Georgia
stands ready to honor Gen. Gordon
whenever he asks it in the right
spirit sod for himself; but the pro
pie will not accept him a* the tool
of a political clique, solely with
view of defeating an acceptable
and good mau.
We have what we consider lelia-
ble information that Bacon will cer
tainly carry the following counties
in this sectiop, most if not all of
them having gone for other candi
dates at the last convention: Clarke,
Banks, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Greene,
Elbert and Franklin. We have
lately conversed with reliable par
ties from every county in Northeast
Georgia, and they are all strong for
Bacon.
During the recent unpleasantness
there were a number of private sol
diers engaged on the Confederate
side, and notwithstanding news
paper articles to the contrary, they
will not “down at the bidding” of
every hero worshipper. The “high
private in the rear rank,” who re
turned to his native heath poverty-
stricken, foot-sore and weary, has
quietly stood by, listening to the
heroic tales as told by others, of
his prowess in the ensanguined
field, while “Brer Rabbit,” the Gen
eral or Colonel, rode in splendor
and scooped up all public places ol
remuneration or power. The pocr
private, it seems, must be satisfied
to have his “grave kept green,” and
live alone in the “golden glow” of
history, while the General and Col
onel charge again (in print) the ter
nble breastworks and almost im
pregnable fortress, amid booming
cannon and clash of bayonets. As
the solitary General or Colonel
makes his horse leap the imaginary
breastworks, his cool, quick eye
flashing fire, his form erect and
firm, while the nostrils of his horse
deal out a transparent heat, there
can be no doubt that he presents
heroic figure, calculated to awe the
average private. The poor private
teels, for the time being, that he
crossed the breastworks after “Brer
Rabbit” had captured the cannon
and driven the enemy; but, anon, he
feels that if so, there must he some
thing wrong with his memory, and
that history, as so far written, must
he revised.
This article is not written against
any one, but rather to throw out 1
hint to those who would run a poli
tical canvass upon their record made
in the war between the states. The
heroic struggle made in defense of
Southern principles, by Southern
soldiers, it worthy of all commen
dation, hut as the memory is not
founded upon the heroic action of
any single individual, but to the
unity of all, so the honor alike be
longs to all. In a canvass for any
public office, the ambition of the
poor private, subordinate officer,
Lieutenant, Captain or Major,
should be as much respected as that
of the Colonel or General.

A HOWL FROM THE LOYAL NORTH.
The Coweta Advertiser wants
Joe Brown to explain a little cir
cumstance. That paper says: Just
in connection with this thought,
we would like for Joe Brown to tell
us of that eight million scheme that
he inaugurated in 1S73 with Tom
Scott, Ben May, E. W. Cole and
others. Compared with this the
credit mobilier swindle would sink
iato utter insignificance. The peo
ple of Georgia would like to have
him tell them who were the parties
to it, what congressmen and sena
tors were interested, to whom he
paid that $25,000 check in the fall
of 1S72. It would furnish racy
readingjust now, while Gordon is
his pet candidate for Governor.

One has but to read the daily
papers, and watch the drill of pub
lic sentiment, to realize that the
Knights of Labot have received a
sudden and decided check in the
battle of this new and wonderful
organization against capital For
awhile, the Knights carried all be
fore them, and their power really
seemed irresistible; but within the
past two weeks reverses one after
another have overtaken them, and
the order now seems possessed of
hut little power and threatens soon
to collapse. It can only be saved
by the Knights throwing overbroad
those insurrectionary Jonahs whose
lawless advice has brought about so
much strife and trouble and caused
such a great revolution in public
sentiment;and by them accepting as
future leaders their wisest and most
conservative members. When they
first began their great struggle for
advancement the Knights of Labor
were supported by a strong public
sympathy, and so long as thus en
trenched their position was impreg
nable. This Mr. Jay Gould and
other of their adversaries realized,
and with the shrewd cunning that
made this great railroad king the
leader of Wall street, has set about
taking this support from them. He
knew that it could only be done
through the medium of the order
itself, aud Mr. Gould determined to
so enrage the Knights that, like
wounded adder, in their maddened
revenge they would sting them
selves to death. Until that confer
ence with Chief Powderly, the
strike against Mr. Gould’s system
of railroads was conducted in a
peaceful manner, with due regard
to the laws ol the land. But at that
conference did this wile old finan
cier set his trap, and into it the
striking Knights blindly walked
He agreed to a committee of arbi
tration with Powderly, and after
wards denied and repudiated the
contract, knowing, at the time, that
such a step would inflame and en
rage the strikers past endurance,
and in their anger that they would
be guilty of acts of violence that
would transfer public sympathy
from his employee to himself, and
with this support, backed by the
unlimited capital at his command,
he could soon bring his men into
subjection. Gould cared not how
much of his property that the sti i-
ker«, in their indignant fury, might
destroy, as the various cities and
states would be held by law ac
countable to him for every dollar of
the loss. It all turned out just as
Mr. Gould expected and wished.
When the strikers, encouraged by
the hopes of an honorable settle
ment, saw the fair promises made
their chief ignored and themselves
insulted, they were lost to all rea
son and argument, and then began
that series of outrages and ctimes
that have made the name of Knight
of Labor in the Southwest synony
mous of the Commune. The pub
lic no longer saw them in the light
of honest laborers, struggling for
their rights, but they appeared as
outlaws and -murderers—enemies to
the peace and order of the land—
and it was the public duty, as good
citizen*, -tai . give neither' counte
nance or seppevtyo such a band at
men. Every h*d» applied to a dtr

As we expected, the bringing
forth of ex-President D.tvis Irom
his self-elected retirement, that the
people who-e cause he tepresented,
and to whom on this account he is
very dear, might once more- look
upon the face ol this grand old
statesman before he “crossed over
the river and rested under the
shade of the trees,” h.is raised a
howl of 'oyal indignation in the
North, that culminated in a meet
ing at Albany, N. Y., “to protest
against the ovation given to Jeffer
son Davis at Montgomery, and
the disloyal sentiments uttered
there.” There was not a word that
could possibly be tortured into dis
loyalty uttered by Mr. Davis or
any ot the speakers on that occasion,
unless a proper tribute to the cause
lor which thousands of the gallant
sons of the South poured out their
life-blood, and that our people then
believed, and still lieliete.to be just,
can be so construed. When the
Confederate anny surrendeied, it
only gave up its arms and did nor
promise to surrender principle, and
urgree that the Southern people ac
knowledge themselve as traitors
They yielded to superior torce, and
it was only stated in the terms ol
capitulation that the soldieis dis
band, return peaceably to theit
homes, and obey the constitution
and laws ol the victorious govern
ment. This contract has the south
kept to the letter. Now, at this
late day, it our Northern brethren
expect the people living within the
bounds ol the late Southern Con
federacy to further prove iheir loy
alty to the Union by disowning the
cause tor which we saciificed so
much, and ignoring its great chiei-
ain, then indeed may the Albany
ndignationists write “Traitor’
upon the brow of every true and
honest man south pf Mason & Dix
on’s line. The reception given Mr.
Davis all along his line ol travel does
not mean man worship, as was ac
corded Gen. Grant by the North,
but a fitting tribute to a cause of
which he is the representative. For
our people to have ignored Mr.
Davis would he a public acknowl
edgment that the late war between
the states was unjustly waged on
the part of the South, and our he
roic dead, who fill unniaiked
graves upon an hundred battle
fields, perished in an unholy cause
and deserved the censure, and not
the gratitude, of their people. We
care but little what effect Mr. Da
vis’ reception may have upon the
North. We have humiliated our
selves already too long at the shrine
of radical hate with a hope of ap
peasing our late toes; and after
eighteen years of patient waiting,
and we triumphed(?) by electing
Grover Cleveland president, the
victory, like Dead Sea fruit, turned
ashes on our lips. Let the
Southern people from this day on
assert their manhood, and while up
holding the government under
which thev now live, do not hesi
tate or fear to pay proper tribute to
the “Last Cause.” The more the

Bombproof patriots and bloody

think of it! Does it not make your
very blood boil with indignation
that Jefferson Davi»,‘the arch traitor,
the man without a country, the
scapegoat ef the South,’ intends to
deliver an oration ar Montgomery,
the first capital of the Confederacy?
Does it not make your white livers

chief magistrate of the Southern
Confederacy intends to speak for

He Writes a Very Wise and Conservative
Article.
Dear Banner-Watchman: I see you
approve of Mr. Cleveland’s policy as rec
ommended in his message to congress in
relation to our present labor troubles. I
concur with you. While I think the
Knights of L. have in many instances
acted very foolish, and made some very
unreasonable demands, I think the prob
lem should be handled in a common sense
way, and conciliations and concessions
exercised on both sides. Our govern
ment is not a despotism, but a govern
ment of compromises. No man or party
can have his own way entirely. We must
always allow the “other fellow” half the
road, then the one who makes the best
use of his advantages gets the best re
ward. I believe in a conservative course.
I believe all extremes should be checked
U P by good wholesome laws that will
bring the “greatest good to the greatest
number.” Those who are extreme in
their oppressions, as well as those who
are extreme in their exactions, should be
kept in check by salutary laws. I have
been opposed to our railroad commission,
but I find we arc all rather disposed to
encroach upon the rights of others, and
exact more than is right. I think it best
to make laws to keep us alt in our prop
er places. Such laws can do us no harm,
and will do the weak and powerless much
good. So I fully approve Mr. Cleveland’s
labor commission policy. That will set
tle our labor troubles in accordance with
law. So much for labor troubles. A man
learns more of human nature in a grand
jury room than any place I ever was. I
served on a grand jury more than 40
years since with Jas. R. McCleskey,
(father of Dr. G. L. MCleskoy) aa fore
man, and with many other foremen, but
never served with one more competent
than the one with whom I served last
week, and it was his first time as foreman
or juror^-alwavs having been a fireman,
and thereby exempt Ue did more
work than any foreman I ever served
under. We made no distinction between
friends and enemies. We only ask obedi
ence to law, and that we must have,
while we have authority to enforce that
•bedience. Law is the palladium of our
liberties, and those who have not inde
pendence enough to do right, should not
be trusted with power, for the security
of liberty and the pursuit of happiness is
in the hands of those who administer the
law. As ever your friend,
Peter Culp.

greatest ever known in the millinery bus
iness in Athens. They have five milli

trade and could not finish the order re
ceived tlie past week. Their wholesale
millinery business has increased won
derfully. He says the ladies of Athens
appreciate nice hats andbonnetsand wear
styles equal to any larje city. Even the
poorer class buy nicer hats and dress
goods than eref before, proving that the
country, notw ithstanding the cry of hard
times, is in a very prosperous condition.
BADLY CANED.
The proprietors and clerks of Tal-

into their ; store, on Friday night, and
without a word; of .warning caned him.
They presented him with a fine gold
headed walking cane, with the following
inscription: “Rank and file of Talmsdge
Bros.’ to C. J. f O’Farrell.” Charlie had
been treated tti n paddle well laid on the
morning, and it WSs a hard matter to en
tice him in the room to present him with
the stick. The presentation shows to
the world, in a’ mpdest .way, how Mr.
0’Farrell is appreciated by the ffrn, and
the clerks, t The Talmadge boys never
do anything in a half-way manner. \

^HODGSON BROS.
One of toeUrest and Most Reliable Grocery
Houses in tbe South.
The name of Hodgson is inseparably
linked with the growth and prosperity of
Athens, and is synonymous of all that is
honorable and reliable. Throughout this
section of the state, if a farmer wants to
describe anything as unusually good and
durable, he will compare it to a Hodg
son wagon or buggy. This unswerving
integrity practiced by the elder Hodg
sons, that left the name so cherished and
honored, has descepded to the sons,
and tRero is note mercantile house in the
Union that stands higher, both with tho
commercial world and the trading pub
lic,: than the large wholesale and retail
grocery and provision house of Hodgson
Brogy on Clayton street. A person feels
that when he trades here he has in the
name of Hodgson all the guarantee that
he wants of honorable dealing. This is one
ef the largest grocery houses in the state,
and their three capacious rooms, three
stories high, are filled to overflowing with
everything in their line. This house is
possessed of unlimited capital, and,no
one can undersell them. They mAbe t,
specialty of fancy groceries'ttflftnsh
country produce of all kinds, and it mat
ters not how “dry” the season the good
ladies can always find some delicacy there
for the table. They are agents for the
leading brands of tobacco, and in fact, if
you don’t find what you want in their
line at the Hodgson Bros, you need go
no further. They have a polite and
obliging corps of experienced salesmen,
and besides, each member of the firm is
a worker himself, and it is always “strict
ly business” at this house. There are
no drones around the store, but it is al
ways a busy hive of commercial activity.
Give the Hodgson Bros, a call when you
want any article in their line,- and ycta
will never regret It. •’*
