GANTT. A “KING” PERFORMANCE. A Description of the Atlanta Circus—The Most WondeTful Show on Barth. Ladies and gentlemen, little chil dren and darkies: Before beginning the entertainment in Lexington to day, 1 will first introduce to yotn notice the most wonderful political acrobat on earth. Signor Joseph E. Brown, the ptoprietor and organ izer of this great show, who has performed the wondeiful teat oi leaping from the democratic to the republican party, and then turning a double sommcrsault backwards, passing over the bead of Monsieur Gordon, and through a ring formed ot I’rof. Colquitt and the Atlanta Constitution, landing again, on top the democratic party in this state. Signor Brown is the only man who has ever been known to accomplish this (cat in safety—to his reputa tion. The next great actor to which 1 will direct your attention is Prof. Alfred II. Colquitt, who lifts with his single hand Signor Brown clear over the heads of the people of Georgia, ami fiorn the deepest depths of radicalism, and hurls him into the Capitol at Wash ington. But, ladies and gentlemen, there now stands before your enraptured gaze Monsieur John B. Gordon, the most wonderful athlete on this con tinent. lie will now proceed to describe to you his great feats o> prowess—how at Winchester he caught in his ungloved hands red- hot cannon halls; at Sharpsburg, swallowed a whole line of charging bayonets; at the Wilderness waded up to his arm-pits in gore, and who for four long years, by his single hand, held at hay the mighty hosts of the North. Be cautious, while Monsieur Gordon is repeat ing these feats, how you look into his eye, as its eagle glance might strike you dead in your tracks. During the performance the au dience will he treated to appropri ate and inspiring airs from the Constitution hand-organ, that can play any tune, comic, sacred or sen timental. THE LEGEND OF TnE PRIVATE. There is a legend about the great struggle between the North and South, extending from 1S61 to 1865, which recites that in the ar mies of the Confederacy there was a species of soldier known as the private, and that these obscure, hut now extinct, warriors not only bore the hruntoftheconflict.but perform ed deeds of valor almost equalling those of the Generals. But if such a soldier as the private ever existed, the race has become extinct or sub merged into the Colonel, and so we fear fprever lost to histoty. In this day and generation we only hear of the prowess of the General, and are taught to believe that this rank alone charged the enemy amid shot and she'll, stormed and cap tured cities, bore all the fatigue, suffering and danger—in fact, are the only patriots deserving ot honor and remembrance by a grateful people. We wpuld like lor some antiquarian or historian to investi gate the story about the private, and see if it is really a legend, and the private a myth— or were there such warriors in the Southern army, and did they not, in a feeble way at least, assist the Gen erals and the Colonels in maintain ing a heroic struggle that will for ever enshroud the defenders of the •‘Lost Cause” with a halo of glory. Il there is such a warrior as the private, justice demands that he should be discovered, and a fait share of the laurels now being wp venaround theGenetalsplaced upon his brow. It the private kept in the rear during the heat ot battle, while the General mowed down rank af ter rank of the enemy, charged and captured their batteries, and march ed half-dead and fainting through the snows of winter and the broiling summer's sun, at least let us state that he was “a quiet looker-on i» Venice.’ If the private drank and smoked in his tent while the poor General was staked out on some picket line,in momentary danger of his life, or whose only covering night was a mantle of snow, ht should at least be mentioned as be ing on hand. In fact, if such a bi ped as the private ever existed, let us see what part he bote in tile great struggle, and give him a just share of the honors. The ukase has gone forth from Atlanta, and every little office-hold, er in the state that owes his ap pointment to one of the ringsters has been instructed to accept the the Gordon yoke. As their influ ence has been bought and paid lor, the people know exactly what value to place on such enthusiasm. We have authentic inloroiation that Senators Brown and Colquitt are making personal appeals to their friends throughout the state to come to the support of Gordon. The cloven political hoof of the great triumvirate is already being shown. The great political ring that has so long ruled our state with such dictatorial tyranny is now making a final struggle for existence. The real issue in the present gubernato rial campaign is, shall Atlanta con tinue to he Georgia? Gen. Gordon indignantly refused the bribe he says Senator Hill offer ed him, but he did not hesitate to accept some $16,000 a year blood- money the convict lessees tender ed him. It seems to us a case of tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum. THE RESULT OF DESPERATION. GORDON IS ATLANTA'S CANDI DATE. Is there any man in Georgia, with even ordinary intelligence, blind enough to fail to see that Gen. Gor don is the candidate of the Atlanta ring, and that the life or death of that political syndicate hinges on his election? If so he has otdy to read the Constitution each day, and see its desperate ellorts to change public sentiment. Gen. Gordon is no more the ca '.didate of ’.he people of Georgia than he is of the Knm- skatkans, hut was brought out by the Atlanta clique as a dernier re sort to save their tottering power. Not only is the Constitution appeal ing to every passion, but the great political machinery of our capital, hacked by every officer that owes his elevation to ring influence, is being set in motion, and attempts made to lash into line the pitiful little pap-suckers throughout the state. Gen. Gordon’s election means a new lease on power for the political s\ ndicate that has so long ruled our state, and we are re liably informed that offices are be ing promised in advance to the faithful, and used to purchase more influence. On the other hand, the election of A. O. Bacon means a restoration of power to the people, and the over throw and destruction ot a tyranni cal ring of politicians that have as sumed to themselves the sole con trol of offices belonging to the peo pie. This fact is known, and to blind the eyes of the grateful and loyal voters of Georgia to the true inwardness of the scheme, Gen. John B. Gordon was imported from Florida, with the hope that his mag netism ami brilliant and spotless war record wouid draw public at tention from the real issue of the contest, viz.: Shall the power of the Atlanta ring he perpetuated? Gen. Gordon owes this political syndi cate for pecuniary favois and also political preferment, and hence he could not reluse to come to the rescue of his old friends in their dire extremity. This is the true history ot the present gubernatorial campaign in Geo.gia, and to sub stantiate our assertion the people have only to watch theConstitution's promised neutrality, and see the desperate and fanatic efforts it is making to break the solid Bacon column. “VOTES TALK.'’ Gen. Gordon says that everything he has is invested in railroads. Major Bacon never owned a share of railroad stock in his life. Which candidate is most likely to guard the interests of the dear people against these corporations? When you hear a State or Fed eral office-holder hurrahing tor Gor don see il he doesn’t wear the re galia of the Atlanta ring. We have heard of several such flops lately, shortly after receiving a mandate from headquarters. We learn that Solicitor-General Howard, of Lexington, brother in law to Henry Grady, of the Ccn- -titution, is a red-hot Bacon man. Mr. Howard is like Collins’ ram— a man of his own head. We are reliably informed that the Columbus base ball club voted at the last primary held in Fulton county. We are opposed to mix ing base hall and politics. Reliahle information from Hab ersham, Greene, Elbert and Rabun say these counties will undoubted ly decide against Atlanta ring rule anil send delega’es instructed for the people’s candidate. In its frantic desperation, the At lanta Constitution h.is adopted the same tactics as were employed ht the bloody-shirt howlers of Yan keedom to influence the Northern peopie against the South, when these radical orgsns culled trom the Southern papers every little par •graph that could be possibly tor tured into disloyalty,and republished the same as the sentiment of our section. We see that the Constitu tion is carefully clipping evety par agraph reflecting in the least on Gen. Gordon, and reproducing the same in its columns with such com ments as are calculated to prejudice the soldier vote. Now, the papers supporting Major Bacor have been exceedingly cautious in their referer.ee to Gen. Gordon, and spoke of his valor and services to the Confederacy in nearly as high terms as that candidate is using upon the stump in “blowing his own horn;” but occasionally some enthu siastic little Bacon organ, like the Montezuma Record, is injudicious enough to give utterance to an unnecessarily harsh coin men*, and it is seized upon with the avidity of an old bloody-shirt howler and an attempt made to torture the article into an insult to the honor of Gen. Gordon by Major Bacon’s friends. This last resort on the part of the Con stitution is so utterly unfair and transparent that it will die still-horn. The war record of Atlanta’s candi date has nothing to do with the election of a high civil officer ir times of perfect peace, and the peo pie are not such idiots as to be thus blinded to the true issues at stake And besides, Gen. Gordon is not the only soldier in the state that did his duty by his country, for there are thousands ol obscure privates who suffered just as great hard ships,and made just as many sacri fices for the “Lost Cause” as did this brilliant leader. It is unfair to heap all the praise and honor upon the brow of one inan, and the old veterans will not endure it.

THREE_ MfeMMl ■ crab ORCHARD WATER CO.. PrOD’ra. nil DYSPEPSIA, SICK HEADACHE, CONSTIPATION. The Atlanta Constitution prom ised to give the people impartial news concerning the gubernatorial campaign, and yet, almost as soon as the promise was made, this news paper has devoted itself to the nom ination of Gordon, and by sundry methods has endeavored to defeat Mai. Bacon. The Clarke county meeting, held after due notice, caused great commotion among both editois and various of its anony mous correspondents, because dele gates were selected supposed to he favorable to Bacon. In the last Sunday’s issue of the said great newspaper, a half column account is given of a “meeting” in Lee county, at which Gordon delegates were selected by a majority of 27, in a vote of 141. In addition to this, there are other editorials and vari ous squibs crowing over Gordon’s great triumph in Lee. In the same issue, printed in small type, without editorial notice, is the following ex tremely short but significant notice of a meeting in Dodge county: Eastman. Ga., May lit.—The follow ing delegates were elt'v ted to-dav bv ne- elauiation to the gubernatorial conven tion, and were instructed for Bacon: L. A. Halt N. Rawlins, E. H. Bacon, \V. II. Whiddon. A. (\ Clements, T. C. Leslie. Delegates to third congressional district instructed for \V. T. McArthur, by, vote of 1111 to 1 HI, for Crisp.as follows: Andy Cadwell, F. K. Bussey. \V. \V. Ashburn, J. ,J. ilosear, J. T. Colcord. D. M. ltucham. The motion of J. Bishop, Jr., to post pone the election of gubernatorial dele gates till the state convention is called was voted down. Two hundred and twenty one voters present and all for Bacon. How does this compare with “Gor don’s great triumph in Lee.” The impartial Constitution can’t praise the S4 Gordon votes in Lee as much as they would like to do for want of space in their paper. They don’t care to talk about the Dodge meet ing. Bacon, 221; Gordon, o. Votes talk. CLARKE COUNTY AND BACON. SING HEY, THE GALLANT CAPTAIN. The Remarkable Story of an Atlanta Puliceman THE SOLDIER VOTE. From all quarters of the state comes the intelligence that the maj ority of ihe old Confederate sol diers are for Bacon. This is not surprising. They are sensible men anil are controlled by their cool and deliberate judgment. They were misjudged bv those who brought out Gen. Gordon. It was supoosetl that the soldier vote would he cap tured by the fine figurS Gen. Gor don displayed Curing the war, just as a child is caught by the glitter of a tinselled toy. But the soldiers of Georgia are not children. They are thoughtful men. They honor Gen. Gordon for his services to his country during the war. They ad mire his courage and will always be ready to give him his due meed of praise, but when they are called upon to fill the highest civil office in the state they will exercise their judgment and select the man they believe to be best qualified. The Constitution says it has been informed that the delegation front this county is not unanimous for Bacon, and that Gordon has a strong following in Clarke. We positively know that every gentleman on our delegation is not only for Bacon overwhelmingly, but is at work tor him. We have conversed with hundreds ot citizens in this county on the gubernatorial contest, and have not found exceeding a dozen Gordon men. We presume there are more than this number, hut they are very quiet. Our people are in dignant at the insulting siurs cast upon them by both the Con stitution and Gen. Gordon in his speech, and consider it an officious and impertinent inter meddling with our affairs, that even zeal and self-interest will not war rant. The democracy ot Claike county have managed their own politics in the past, and feel fully able to do so in the future without advice from outsiders. The Atlan ta ring will never be able to whip the free people of Georgia into hew ers of wood and drawers of water for the great political triumvate. Gai t. W. P. Maxly. Captain TV. J’.

GOVERNOR SMITH'S SPEECH. Governor Smith is announced to take the stump. Until he does so and delivers a new speech, this one, delivered in a democratic State Convention, mav be kept on duty. Governor Smith said: Mr. Chairman—In presenting the name of the gentleman 1 propose for governor, I shall not detain the convention by dwelling on his merits. I shall not attempt to make any oratorical display, for this is a matter of business, and business to the public. The geutleman whose name I present is perhaps as well known to the people ot G.-orgia as any citizen within her limits. Dur ing the dark period which imme diately succeeded the administration ot Bullock this gentleman was a central figure. At that time it re quired nerve and brain and ability and force ot character, for the pnr- pose of reconstructing the public credit and building up the prosper ity of the State. That man I say was a central figure. During most of the time for the ten years suc ceeding he wielded the gavel, and in that gavel was enbodied the pros perity ol tho State of Georgia, j Ap plause] Therefore it would be su- peifious for me to say anything by way of commending him. He is kttown of you. As he has come in and as he has gone out you observ ed him. You know him; therefore it would be out of place for me to stand here and by word commend him. In commending him 1 dispar age nobody else. There will he other names of gentlemen many of whom would make a most accepta ble chief magistrate of Georgia. But this man's conduct in high and res ponsible positions in the State of Georgia has commended him to her citizens as being worthy of appre- ciat : on, and of the highest honors his people can conler. [Applause] We know that in his hands we win have an honest administration. We know that in his hands, while he wields the office of Governor he can not he pit-chased. We tan confide in his honesty. I do not say that we could confide in the honesty of any other gentleman, but we know him—he has been tried—he has been tried as if by fire, and has come out unscorched.
