Gor don, fanned into existence at the Da vis celebration and kept alive by the most desperate efforts of the Constitution and Gen. Gordon, through appeals to passions that have been slumbering for over twenty years, is now going out even more rapidly than it was aroused. Time enough has elapsed for the sober-minded, sensible people of Georgia to argue with themselves and for reason to reassert its sway They "ill most properly and wisely argue: “What has Gen. Gordon’s record in war to do with the election ol a governor for Georgia in times 01 perfect peace? Was not his appeal to me an insult to my intelligence?" “What we are called upon to elect is a Governor—not a Generali What are the qualifications for the chief magistrate of a great state like Georgia? A clear head for business and finance, of course, and a record in the past that will show a candi to possess these requisites “Now, as a good citizen, who ha the prosperity of my grand old stati most at heart? Must I vote for Gen Gordon on his war record—in this issue dead capital except in the grateful memory ol his people—bui whose path for twenty years 01 more has been strewn with the most appalling financial wrecks; 01 shall I support Major A. O. Bacon —whe served his country just long and faithfully as did Gen. Gor don, although only an adjutant and part of the time a commissary—who has made a success of whatever undertook?” “Did not the speeches of the two candidates best describe their char acters? That of Atlanta’s candidate was a rambling, passionate, amusing appeal, calculated to provoke laugh and inflame anew the old war feeling, but he did not touch on single great public issue or answer a question propounded by hisoppo nent. Gen. Gordon must have taken us for children or lools, to be caught by such chaff. On the other hand, the People’s candidate, Major Bacon, gave us a plain, practical talk—said things that we could carry home in our minds and think over. He spoke to us as rational intelligent men. One speech was idle vaporings—the other strictly business.” “And who brought out these rival candidates, any way? I know that Major Bacon was fairly enti tied to the nomination in 1SS0, but he bowed with patriotic grace the dictation of his paity. would have been nominated when McDaniel was, but the Atlanta Ring, when they found the conven tion was about to centre on Bacon, conspired to his overthrow. Now they have imported from Florida Gen. John B. Gordon, for no other purpose than to again defeat and humiliate this gentleman. Is right that I should aid by my vote any such infamous scheme?” These are the arguments now go ing on in the brains of the honest yeomanry of Georgia, and we are not atraid to rest the election with them. The gauze and tinsel sur rounding Gen. Gordon’s visit to county soon vanishes, and when the voters come down to sober second thought, they are going to vote tor the man they think will make the best governor for Georgia. That Atlanta Ring cannot bribe the peo pie with offices or the hope theteof: but they are going to vote for the man they honestly think will best manage the affairs of government and most wisely disburse the money they pay in for taxes. We only ask every conservative, reasoning man, who is not led ofl by glare and glitter and appeals passion and prejudice, to carefully sit down and propound to himself the above questions, and then if he , sees fit to vote for Gen. Gordon we have nothing to say. We have not a particle of fear, however, on that score. BKN HILL AGAIN. He GEN. GORDON AS AINANCIERF. It will he admitted by every one in the state, says the Telegraph, that we shall need a wise and cool businessman in the gubernatorial chair for years to come. It has been charged in this can vass that as a business man Gen. Gordon is an unmitigaed failure. He nor his friends have attempted to answer these charges. They may be summed upas follows: He failed as a lawyer. lie faded in the saw mill business. He failed in the book agency. He failed in lile insurance. He failed as a planter. He failed as a sheep ranchero. He failed as a coal miner. He claims to have made some money out of a railroad enterprise, but he did not keep it long. He has failed as the builder of a great international steamship and railroad line. 1* is charged by a Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Uommercial-Gazette that Gen. Gor don, in iS8a, was tryiug with ex- “mtmaster-General Creswell and others to lobby a bill through con gress to build an air line road from Washington to New York. This failed. Some time afterward Gen eral Gordon, George C. Gorham and others were mentioned in the Phil adelphia Press as corporators in a thirty million telephone enterprise. This failed. It is not within our knowledge as to how many people failed to realize upon these several schemes of the general Broken iu credit and resources, h«is now endeavoring to get the people of Georgia to pay him aesin for his military^Mrviusby electing hint governor. In about every 5,000 men you Undone who imagines that it is on ly necessary for him to withdraw bis dollar subscription to a paper to land that sheet in the happy hunting grounds of journalism, bring its editor peni tent at his feet. The Banner- Watchman flattered itself that it had an unusually intelligent set of subscribers, but it seeems that somehow a black sheep had crept into our flock—but we are 1 id of him now, Allah be praised. Mon day we received a sweet-scented epistle from an irate subscriber in Oconee, stating that be could not longer take a paper that oppose!, that immortal patriot, etc., Gen. Gordon, and to stop his subscrip tion, but we could keep the little arrears still due. Thus on a calm, h.ippv day, when we thought that all around us was peace and love, me upon u., like .1 clapjol’ thunder rom a clear sky, this stunning and aid blighting announcement to stop my paper! As a natural conse quence, the first thoughts that flashed over us were: “Can we tand this calamity?” “Can the Ban ner- Watchmap endure the loss ol dollar-a-year subscription and still keep out of the clutches of the sheriff or from the brink of the bankruptcy?” Ah! the irate Gor- donite evidently felt hi« power and knew that he was levelling at our journalistic head a crushing blow, lor the words ol liis note proved that. It was one of ihose tegulai louble-back-acting, stem-winding, red-hot-thumb screw epistles, that only a two-tor-a-nickle man knows how to get some fellow to pen for him when he has so recklessly squandered a dollar. We know that night he saw in hisdteams the hag gard lace of the B.-W. editor and his gang of half-starved little ones, clutching to the rkirts of his old jeans coat and begging in piteous language that he would again re new and save them from perishing; he saw that same editot, appalled by such a fearful financial loss, and with a hope of soothing this irate subscriber’s ruffled feelings, flop ping his paper over from Bacon to Gordon; but he would make the fellow still lurther humble himself before granting his most gracious pardon. lie saw in his sleeping vision those sarcastic words of coun sel that his “town friend writ for him,” searing like a hot iron into the Bacon-coated conscience of the editor who dared to take a position in opposition to the wishes of one liis cash-in-advance subscribers. He would not simply stop his paper; but let the editor know why he did so. We must admit that the effect of this immense loss was most fearful, and for awhile we saw no thing but ruination and starvation ahead of us; but when our book-keeper informed us that he had, in the past week, added be tween 600 anu 700 new names to our list, all cash-in-advance subscri bers, too, we were considerably “hope up,” and as we were prom- ised as many more in a few days, de cided that by reducing the salary of our devil, and lopping ofl' one meal a day, we might survive and with stand the loss of the dollar from the Gordonite of Oconee. But let us whisper a word of ad vice in the ear of our indignant Oconee friend: We have been in journalism now for 12 years, and you are the third man who tried that old “gag” on us. Now, while we appreciate our patrons, there is not a man on our books but who is at liberty to discontinue his paper at any time and all the money due him will be refunded. But we beg you, for the credit of yourself and the good name of your county, don’t show your ignorance again by penning such a note of explanation. It is a matter of the most perfect indifference to us whether you take the Banner-Watchman or not. , In fact, unless a man is susceptible to reason, and when he manifests such an arbitrary spirit as yourself, we areglad to have him stop the paper, for it is our boast that we have the •nost intelligent set of subscribers ol any paper in Georgia. Again, we don’t care a punched nickel whether you are for Gordon, Bacon or Felton, for we do not suppose that your vote will either wreck or save the state. Your paper is stop ped, our irate Gordon friend from Oconee, and let us whisper another word of advice in your intelligent cars: If you want a fair and impartial newspaper—something that will give both sides of the gubernatorial question with most exact accuracy, send ofl'at once and take the great Atlanta Constitution. It is just what »ou need at this critical junc ture in your political existence, and we guarantee no cure, no pay. At last Gen. Gordon, through an' anonymous correspondent in the Atlanta Constitution, has broken silence as to what he refused to ac cept from Ben Hill. It appears that he was told by Ben Hill and Col. Grant that he could have a share in the lea,e of the W. & A. R. R. This is all. This is the sum total of what Ben Hill did or said according to the correspondent. What in the name of common sense and com mon justice to Ben Hill did Gen. Gordon mean by saying that Ben Hill had ofleredliim a share and his “conscience” would not allow him to accent it? Did he mean to say that Ins “conscience” was belter or purer or clearer than Ben Hill’s? Why say his “conscience” would not allow him to accept? Did he t know, and cannot he ever be made to understand, that the use of this language in that connection is a reflection on Ben Hill’s integrity ? If he wanted to tell the people of Americus that he had been offered a share in that lease through Ben Hill, and that he had declined it, why not do so and stop there? No friend of Mr. Hill's would have been wounded by that statement. But when he goes on and says that he refused it because his “conscience’ would not let him ac cept it, there and then lie wronged the memory of Ben Hill and insulted every friend of hi who is living. It is the imputa tion of corruption conveyed by the use of the word “conscience,” that hurls. If his “couscience” would not allow him to accept, what sort of a light does that put Ben Hill in for offering? It the “compunctious visitings” of Gordon’s monitor warned him not to touch it, how could Beil Hill offer it or hold the same himself? He might as well have ‘aid in so many words.that Ben Hill's conscience suffered him to do what his (Gordon’s) prevent ed him from doing. The contrast between his own rectitude aud Mr. Hill’s, as given in his own chosen words, is the very spirit of pharisa- ism. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharasee and the other a Publican. The Pharasee prayed with a loud voice and said, “I thank God that I am not as other men are, or even as this Publican.” But the Publican did not even lift up his eyes, but stood afar oft and beat upon his breast and said, “Lord be merciful to me a sinner.” What was the verdict? The Publican went down to his house justified rather than the other. Gen. Gordon is a Pharasee of the Pharasees when -he comes to this share of the lease. He thanked God with a “loud voice at Americus that he was not as other men, such as John T. Grant and Aleck Ste phen*,or even as this Publican Ben Hill.” They took shares, and they offered him one, but his “con science - ’ rose supreme and he re jected it. It is sickening. Here are two men in their graves, as pure as he, and here is this political Gas con parading his “conscience” to the people to elevate himself at their expense. If Ben Hill and Aleck Stephens could hear it they would turn over in their cofflns. | Catoosa county, which Gen. Gor don visited, and where he spoke only Iasi week, elected Bacon Rele gates Tuesday.

He has simply declar ed against the latter, without an nouncing for the former. Our opin ion ib that the old Doctor is trying to get in a position where guber natorial lightning will probably strike him. When a little hand full of men try to run the whole government of a state, and delegate to themselves power that properly belongs to the people, you are going to see the honest voters rise up in their might and mash said ring as fiat as a floun der. The mountain tops of Northeast Georgia are said to be ringing with cheers for Bacon. That slate house office didn’t boom Gordon worth a cent. How any friend of Ben Hill or Alex. Stephens can vote for Gor don, and thus endorse the slanders he has uttered againt these grand old statesmen, is beyond our ken. SING HEY, THE GALLANT CAPTAIN.

DEMOCRACY VS. THE PEOPLE. In all ol his letters and speeches, when he demands primary elec tions to decide tbe question of del egates to the state convention, Geti. Gordon invariably uses the word “People” instead of “Democracy.” We thought this a rather strange oversight on the part of a candidate who professes to seek preferment at the hands qf the organized de mocracy of Georgia, until that Ful ton county primary was ordered and permission given the colored suffrage-slinger to deposit his ballot alongside the thus leaving i to name the candidate for the de mocracy to support. In Gen. Gor don’s parlance, the “People” mean a free-for-all scramble at democratic primaries, when the candidate with the biggest barrel at his back can scoop in the delegations.
