There are legiti mate uses for money in a campaign, and the employment of canvassers in a political cause is recognized everywhere from Midlothian to Georgia. But there is a difference between organizing for political principles, where parties are arrayed, and com bining on personal issues, where men of the same party are opposing each other. And there is a distinc tion between organizing upon po litical issues and combining in the interest of one section and one set of men. The Chronicle wants to see the Bacon men thoroughly organized and supplied witli all the resources of war, and .vfe can make no point upon our opponents for showing good generalship and hard work, but the appearance in every con tested county, of Atlanta men and Atlanta means in the interest of an Atlanta candidate, looks like an at tempt to buy the governorship when other means have failed. Such influences are ceniraliz.ing and corrupting. We are not among those, and have never been, who believe that nothing good can come out of Atlanta. Her enterprise and her vim are frequently objects of admiration. Some of her people who are managing Gen. Gordon’s campaign are known to us and command our confidence and es teem. We believe them incapable ot resorting to low methods and corrupting means. But have they considered how fast their political canvass has hur ried them—how far their political ambition has carried them? They bave set up their awn Gods and ig nored the rest of the state, and they have filled the minds of many good people with alarm. So firm and far-reaching have been their demands and so pervading and per sisteut their elforts that their candi dates are being regarded with sus picion and their appeals with unea siness. Political machinery should be used for the service ot the party, not for the enslavement ot a peo ple. Departure from the straight line of political conduct is easily ag gravated into questionable ways, and the leaders of the people soon become responsible lor their mis- governnient. It is a much more important matter that the public methods in Georgia should be im proved than that either Major Ba con or General Goulon should be elected Governor. These are the reasons why we appeal to the people of Glascock, of Lincoln and other counties to watch this campaign and see that some of the influences at work are sternly rebuked. It is a little curious how reticen some of the Gordon men are about the movements ot the great general We are informed he is to be at Monroe, Logansviile and Law renceville, in a few days, but the ex act dates are withheld. It is also reported he is to be in Newton county on the first Saturday in Juiy at a barbecue at Oak Hill; but, we cannot vouch for the truth of 'he report. The generel seems to be moving about in a sly sort of way, and does not advertise his appoint ments in the papers, like Mr. Bacon. We cannot understand why he does not want the Bacon men to hear him speak, or to know when he is coming. If he expects to make new converts where he speaks, lit must expect to get them from the Bacon side. It may be, however, he only expects to keep a tight grip on the weak kneed Gordon men to keep from losing them.—Covington Star. THE M ETIIODS OF THE CAMPAIGN. II there is 3 man in Georgia who now doubts that Gen. Gordon is. a mere tool in the hands of a few politicians in Atlanta, it is one who has not observed the methods of the campaign. The centre is in At lanta, the emissaries all go out from that nest, the information all concentrates there, and the plans are made in and the orders issued from that place. In Warien county an agent ap peared, who, we are told, furnish ed, at his own expense, free enter tainments to such as voted for Gor don. The scenes which followed in the meeting in that county we hope will not be repeated elsewhere Who can doubt that the whole pro gramme was arranged and dictated, and the money furnished from At lanta to work up the county for Gordon. It is doubtful if he had a single acquaintance in the county We do not know that a single citf z.en of Oconee requested him to come, but he came, and from At lanta. As each county meetingap- proaches, you will see a man from Atlanta circulating through the county. The people have begun to look for them as regularly now upon the eve of the action of these counties, as the look for the side shows and the sleight-of-hand men when the circus enters the town. They are a sort of political fakirs sent out from Atlanta to control the people. They come loaded with documents and covered all over with piles of the Atlanta Con stitution. They will make their appearance soon in Jackson, in Madison and in Habersham. They come like the locusts. You go to bed at night and wake up in the morning and the country is swarming with them. These gen tlemen are employed by the At lanta ring to do this thing. They are sent out to carry the various counties for Gordon. When one of them talks to a citizen he may understand that he is being ad dressed l>y an agent of the Atlanta ring, sent to him to instruct him how to vote. When the people of a county desire the instruction of one in whom they have confidence, and request him to come and speak to them it is proper, but when a nest of politicians in one city, and it the capital, send out uninvited missionaries into the so-called rural districts to enlighten us, we re spectfully submit that it is presum ing too far upon our ignorance. Whatever else may be said of it, the existence of a ring in Atlanta who are governing Gordon and his campaign, is proven by it. It is a new thing in Georgia, and it is a bold and desperate game. If it wins the ring will rule Georgia ■while Gordon is governor. A BltOKEX BOOM. THE OCONEE CONTEST. There is no. disputing the tact that the triumph of Gen. Gordon in Oconee, last Thursday, was a sore disappointment to Major Bacon’s friends in this section, for they were confident of victory, and there is not a shadow of doubt, either that up to forty-eighs hours before the contest, the Ring candidate was badly beaten; but through some secret agency, that will yet be made known, the result was chang ed. It was also, in a great meas ure, due to the neglect of the Ba con men to turn out and vote, while the Gordon ites polled their full strength. We do not say thia with a view of complaining, but to warn other counties yet to act that they may not fall into the same snare as Oconee. While the neg lect tocaptuie Oconee was a disap pointment to his friends, the re duced majority by which the oppo sition carried the day is a triumph rather than a defeat to Major Ba con. Out of the latge vote polled— nearly the entire county—a change of eight votes would have placed Oconee in the Bacon column. Oco nee has always been anti-Bacon, and it went for Boynton almost sol idly. Messrs. Booth & Ashford are the leading merchants of the county, and ex-rt such an immense political influence that Oconee has never failed to go the way that they dictated. It has long been a saying thit to control Oconee you must first control Tom Booth. This film has always been anti-Bacon, and in the late contest bent all of their energies toward carrying the county for Gordon. They were backed, too, by Mr. Hinton, super intendent of the High Shoals fac* tory, and any one can see that this combined influence was hard to defeat, aad that the small majority by which Gen. Gordon crept in showed a great revolution in public sentiment against the Atlanta Ring and scored a decided gain for Major Bacon. We do not know what “devices’* Atlanta brought to bear to save the day in Oconee, but feel assured that neither Messrs. Booth, Ashford or Hinton employed any thing but lair and honorable means. They had great influence and power over many voters, and taxed it to its utmost limits, am' even then a change of eight voles would have lost them the day. We were disap pointed in Oconee, but we will not be in Madison, Franklin, Banks, Jackson or Walton, and we do net believe in Habersham, Elbert, Ogle thorpe, Hart or Gwinnett. RING RULE. NO OHIO METHODS IN OCR’S. The vote of little Oconee for Gordon yesterday is one of the healthy signs, rapidly accumulating, that the honest masses of our peo ple will havenothing to do with the Athens 'court-house clique method inaugu- ratee by Mr. Bacon’s followers in this campaign. A slander and trick campaign is obnoxious to Av- ery iair minded man, as the Bacon management. have already found out to their serious loss and chagrin. Oconee gave them another “point er” yesterday. The above appears in the Atlanta Journal. If we want any advice as to how to manage our elections, we will not get a man from Ohio, to teach us. We know of their pres ent methods, and we had enough of them during Sherman’s march to the sea. COL. STANLEY’S ROMANCE. Even Gen. Gordon’s friends ad mit that Major Bacon is gaining in strength now daily, and they are badly frightened. The people have had time to analyze Gen. Gordon’s speeches, and they find in them no good reason why he should have left his office in New York and so suddenly come back to Georgia to divide and harrass his party, when we were getting on so quietly and smootnly. They see that he insults their intelligence by appeals to ig norance and prejudice and studi ously avoids answering the legiti mate and proper questions asked by the press and his honorable op ponent. They are disgusted with seeing Gen. Gordoa, headed by a brass band, invade a county on the day of an election, and are also alarmed at the free and indiscrimi nate use of money in the campaign. The convincing arguments and gen tlemanly campaign of Major Bacon is having a good effect, and the vo ters are fast rallying around his standard. His friends, too, are now thoroughly organized, and will not lose any more counties by inactiv ity. Gen. Gordon has already ex pended his strength, and those sweeping triumphs that character ized the early days of the campaign have been brought to a sudden halt. Within the next ten days or two weeks Bacon will not only pass and lead Gordon, but seal his defeat. John B. Gordon as an insurance agent, cost the peopie of Georgia $119.5^7. Truly does the versatile General say the insurance business was one of the most successful schemes lie ever engaged in. Of this amount we find that the citi zens of Athens lost one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine dol lars and eight-six cents. These all livetl in the jurisdiction of the At- lauta depattment of which John B. Gordon was president. The names ol the unfortunates can be given il the amount is doubted. It takes money to pay tor brass bands, &c. Arc they discontinued, because certain stocks that were de posited as security for money ad vanccd to the Got don campaign club have declined? TRY IT OVER. The Atlanta Constitution made an amusing mistake in its editorial col umns yesterday, in the statement that the Chairman of the Clarke county meeting which elected dele gates was the President of a rail road. This will be news .not only to the people here generally, but to the Chairman himself. If he is the President of a railroad he don’t know it and wants to find his road and gets into possession of the of fice. He is in every way qualified for such a place, but he not only never was the president of one, but never had anything to do with one in any capacity. The other curios ities of literature in that same arti cle are about as near the fact as the one above refered to. The cloven foot ot the Atlanta ring is showing itself at every turn of the wheel in the gubernatorial campaign. Gen. Gordon is almost retired into the background. His empty vaporings upon the stump are a mere sounding brass; the real work is being done by the ling and its agents. He is one of its agents. They arm him with arguments aud suggestions, they furnish him with means, they select his appoint ments and send him to fill them. At the same time they send out their other workers, and the cam paign ramifies from Atlanta as its centre, through all the counties. The people who are supporting this movement are hugging the de lusion that they will make Gen. Gordon governor. He will if elec ted have no more power than he has now. He will belong body and soul to the men who elected him and they are a few politicians in At lanta. He will owe his election lo them, to their money and their work. They will dictate the policy and control his official acts as complete ly as a parent does his child. The real rulers of Georgia are behind him. They are using him. He suits their purpose just now. If he did not they would even now throw him aside as they would a squeezed lemon and think no more of him. At last the people are 'beginning to perceive this, and in order to car ry a county for Gordon new, pres sure which amounts to coercion has to be brought to bear upon the peo ple. The methods of this ring in some of the recent contents are in dicative of desperation. If a thoughtful- citizen, who desires good government will go into the counties of Jackson, or Habersham, or Franklin next week and observe the agents of the ring at work, he will come to the conclusion that deep-laid plan to control the state is being worked out under the name of Gordon. It is rumored on the streets of Atlanta that the Gordon club has run short of funds. Is this the rea son why Milt Smith was taken from the field? Cheyenno Leader. On the day at Yellow Tavern, when the riders of the south fol lowed Stuart’s plume into the hurtling death-storm of fifty guns, Col. Stanley rode boot to boot with the great cavalry leade. As the smoke thickened and the iron- storm swept with redoubled fury through the ranks of the charging grep, Stewart raised himself in his stirrups and broke into the words of his favorite song, “The dew is on the blossom.” The mellow voice of the charging leader was the Col onel’s last remembrance ot the on set. A grape shot tearing through his right breast, hurled him from his saddle, and he made one of the thousands stretched upon that bloody field. When next his eyes opened they looked upon the surroundings of a Richmond hospital cot. At the side of the cot sat “Mammy,” the negress who bad nursed him as a baby, amused him as a child, at tended him as a youth, and follow ed him to the battle-field. Learn ing that the young master and fos ter child had fallen, “Mammy” had followed by the dim light of the lantern, through half the night, her awful track of that terrible chatge. Mangled limbs, shattered breasts, contorted features and blood-be- daddled locks paled the lantern’s feeble gleam at every step and qrought to the cheek of the ne gress the peculiar ashen hue lent by terror to the dusky skin of her race. At last the right heap of the slain was reached, and “mammy” drew from it the bloody form of her young master. Tenderly she cared lor her foster child, and rested not until he was beneath the surgeon’s care. For long months the desper ately wounded soldier lay in Rich mond hospital, devotedly nursed by the old negress. When at last he left his bed he was in no condition to resume his place in the service. On a furlough he passed a year in Italy, and with the hue of health once more upon his cheek and the strength ot manhood in his arm, hastened back to strike a last blow at the Confederacy. Participating in the closing shocks of the great conflict, he rode in that last efiort ot desperate courage, by which Gor don’s cavalry eut their way through the encompassing Federal ranks. Here he received the sabre cut, whose grim and livid trace still mark his features. In the cabin of a Virginia mountaineer the Colonel recovered from his second wound, and then made his way out of the country. Locating in the Brazilian diamond fields, still attended by the faithful “mammy,” he was for tunate from the first. He soon had a fortune in his possession, and, se lecting Southern California as jiis future home, he purchased and stocked a ranch, and has since led the free and independent life of the plains. “And now,” said the Colonel, in conclusion, “would you not like to ste ‘mammy?’" “Most assuredly,” was the replj, and to the Colonel’s call there came forth an aged and bent negress. “You see,” said the Colonel, “she will not leave me.” “Not,” said “mammy,” “until the Lord calls.” WHY LUDWIG DID NOT MARRY. A Soiled Handkerchief Robs Princess Sophia of a Crown. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph King of Bal timore, were in Munich at the time of the engagement of the late King Ludwig and the Princess Sophia. "It has been the custom in Bavaria,” said Mr. King to a reporter, “on the betrothal of any of the royal families to have the engravings of the par ties made and copies distributed throughout the kingdon. This, of course was done at the time ot the engagement of young Ludwig and his pretty fiancee. When the en gagement was annulled by the King, however, he determined to destroy the gifts he had so gladly bestowed among his friends a short time be fore, and requested those who had received copies of the the objec tionable engravings to return them forthwith. Such was the devotion of the people to their ruler that his order was generally obeyed. I was fortunate enough to get hold of one of the few prints that remained un returned, which was given me by a person not a subject of the King,but made me promise i would not re veal the picture until I had left Mu nich. Though Mrs. King and I were in Munich six months, we never heard while there the story of Lud wig presenting to Sophia a golden crown as a propitiatory offering. It was generally believed there that his betrothed in his presence, took from her pocket a slightly soiled handkerchief, which want of refine ment so shocked his Majesty that he at once discarded her. This is said to have been the beginning ot AGRICULTURAL CLUB. A Hove la tbs Bicht Direction bp tbe Far mers of Clarke County. During an interval in the meeting at the opera house yesterday, Mr. G. E Heard, one of the progressive farmers of Clarke county, took occasion to press upon the citizens of the county the im portance of forming an agricultural club. Mr. Heard, in a neat and well timed little speech, showed the necessity of organi zation among the farmers, and suggested the following constitution and by-laws for the government of the C arke county agricultural club: CONSTITUTION AND nY-I.AWS. The name sf this association shall be the — club of county, on the county agricultural society. Its object shall be the promotion ane diffu sion of agricultural knowledge aqy>ng its members. The officers shall be a chairman, vice- president and secretary, elected annual ly- The constitution inny be changed and the by-laws may be altered by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the club. This club will co-operate with Jother clubs in the county or in any district of •the state, on such terms as my be agreed upon, and will be auxiliary to the state agricultural society and be represented in its meetings. We, the undersigned, by subscribing this constitution pledge ourselves to abide by it, and the by-laws passed in pursuance of it, we will endeavor, in good faith, laying conflicting business aside, to arrange for regular attendance Horsford’s Bread THE BEST BAKING POWDER IN THE W0R !(I) | Is made by Prof. Horsford’s process, the only nroce-s u... l„_ „r ...... 1 u -l 1 powder of any nutritive value.

BACON? Gen. Gordon, in canvassing for the governorship, makes it a point to tell that his father was a Baptist preacher. Major Bacon could do likewise, and would if he had Gen. Gordon’s cheek. Major Bacon comes of as good a lineage as anybody. His father was was Rev. A. O. Ba con, of Liberty county, who died quite young and a short time before the birth of his distinguished son, who bears the name of his 'father. Majer Bacon's father was a Baptist minister and a grandson of Rev. Henry Holcombe, D. D., one of the grandest men the Baptist church ever produced. Dr. Henry H. Tucker, the present editor of the Christian Index, and one of the most gifted men ot the times, is a near relative of Maj. Bacon, through the Holcombe blood. Maj. Bacon’s father was a man of many noble and high qualities ot mind and heart. He had a fine literary education and took a Theological course at Co lumbia, S. C. Dr. church, at one time president of the State Univer sity, regarded him as one of the best and most promising men that ever attended the University. Rev. A. O. Bacon did not live long alter en tering the ministry. He died from an attack of fever, his last sermon being preached while suffering from the disease which terminated his valuable life. Maj. Bacon’s mother was'a lady of rare accomplishments and devoted and also a member of the Baptist church.—Cuthbert Lib eral. Why does the Gordon club in Atlanta pay some of its debts with checks on the First National Bank of Mew York? Is not this bank the depository of a certain railtoad king? The argument used in Oconee was most powerful. Money makes the horse trot, it also helps greatly to carry elections. Three dollars worth of coffee is the price now paid for voters. Han* to a Tree. Detroit, June 24.—William Kel- nher, alias “Reddy,” who killed Officer Convey yesterday while re sisting arrest, was taken from jail last night by a large crowd of dis guised men, escorted to the neigh boring grove, hung to a limb of a tree and his body riddled with bul lets. Sheriff Pinney attempted to defend his prisoner, but was over powered. Kelaher was a gambler, and was known in Minneapolis, where he lived for a time as a hard character. A Locomotive Sold. • Mr. J. V. Motter, of the Rhode Is land locomotive works, has_ been making headquarters in the city tor some time. H* has just sold to Mr. Harry Hill a locomotive for the new railroad from Union Point to White Plains. Mr. Motter says the engine is first class, and weighs thirty -two tons. He says also that in passing through Macon a day. or two ago he saw a new locomotive, which ia to be put on the Macon and Cov ington road. 4DVICK TO MOTHERS. Mu.

Mr. Heard is thoroughly aroused on the agricultural question, and is on the right line. The farmers should organize at once, and any information necessary to secure an organization can he had from Mr. Heard. a Startling Rumor. Macon, June 23.—It is rumored among the half-wild negroes who live away out beyond East Macon, having a sort of half-town, half farm all to themselves, that a white baby was found on the doorsteps of one Mary Wall yesterday morn ing. She opened her door about 6 o'clock and was very much amazed to see the little waif lying there wrapped in a bundle of clothes, but really almost nude as to its own clothing, and apparently not more than 24 hours old. The woman took the baby in and is taking care of it. The Little Big Horn. Fort Custer, Mont., June 24.— The ceremonies attending the tenth anniversary of the massacre on Lit tle Big Horn began here yesterday with a recitation by Captain God frey one of the survivors of that ill fated expedition, describing evehts ot that fatal June day as far as known. Chief Gaul and visitors from Forts Keogh and Yates are present. A camp‘will be made on the battle field, and every foot of this historic spot will be visited on horseback. Gaul and the Indians who were present at the massacre will show exactly how General Custer and his brave troopers met their fate. DISGUSTED SHARPERS. There is a sharper’s game which has been played for the last hundred years as the turning point is avarice the game works forty-nine times where it fails once. Two sharpers set out a few weeks ago to play it on a Wayne county farmer. One of them came along one day and want ed to buy the farm. As the farmer wanted to sell, it was quite easy to strike a bargain. The price was to be <*4,000 in cash, and the man hand ed over $250 to bind the bargain. Within two days a second stranger came along and wanted the farm. He wanted the farm so bad that he couldn’t stand still. He found indi cations of coal, natural gas and coal oil, and was willing to give $6,500 for the place. The idea was, of course, that the farmer would be awful sick of his first sale and seek to buy the man off. It would pay him to offer the man $1,500 to re lease him. The second stranger was only out I of sight when the first one turned * up again. His mouth watered over the prospects but not for long. The farmer explained that he had been offered $2,500 more,and added: ‘But I don’t caie tor money. The $4,000 is enough for me, and its all the old place is worth. When you arc ready to pay the balance we will make out the papers.” The purchaser offered to release him for one thousand, and finally got down to fifty but the farmer didn’t want to be released. He hung to the bargain money and he’s got it yet,while the sharpers gnash their teeth every time they think of the thickness of his skull.—Detroit Free Press.

A Sad Cats In Athens—A Besotted Husband Drinks the Whisky Prescribed for hta Dying Wlfe--Lylng for Two Days In a Neglected Condition. There recently reached our ears a sto ry almost too horrible to believe, and yet it comes from a most reliable source. There lived in Athens an old couple, with all their children married off. The wife was a worthy, Christian woman, but the husband was a confirmed drunk ard, whose thirst for whisky was insati ate. lie would pawn his soul for drink, and every dollar he earned went to the bar-keeper. At last the wife was taken seriously sick and her life was in a critical condition. Her physician pre- scribed whisky for treatment, and as the old people were without means, a son in-law gaVe the husband enough money to buy a gallon of liquor. He went down into Oglethorpe county, to a man who is dealing out the ardent in defiance of prohibition, and purchased a gallon of whisky. While the temptation to taste it was strong upon the old man, he re strained his appetite until near home, when he decided to steal only a swallow. This only whetted his thirst, and when he staggered into the room where his sick wife lay, he was beastly drunk For two days he laid on the floor in this condition, with that jug hugged to his breast, and on awakening from his stu por would at once begin to drink again. In the meantime his poor wife lay upon her bed, with no one to attend to her wants, while her besotted husband was rolling like a beast upon the floor, sel fislily drirking up the whisky that was to restore her to life. The neighbors knew nothing of what was going on. In the meantime, the poor woman, through sickness and neglect, died unattended and uncared for. After two days’ time some person chanced to pass, and dis covered ‘the husband drunk upon the floor, whilejthe poor old woman was ly- , ing dead upon her bed.

Among his constituents he is a granger himself. jHis district lies in the upper part of St. Louis, but as it embraces the billy goat and gar den truck surburbs ot the metropo lis of the Mississippi, his constituen cy is somewhat rural. To this ele ment O’Neal has long been a walk ing encyclopedia ot information con cerning crops and live stock. Dur ing the last campaign, while visiting he met one of his farmer constit uents driving a cow. He at once began to air his knowledge of bo vine breeds. In the heighths of his enthusiasm he offered to buy the cow. The farmer was not anxious to sell, but said he would take $65 for her. “Drive her up to.my house,” said O’Neal,“and I’ll be there to pay y u the money.” “The farmer regretted he had con sented to part with his favorate cow and said: “Let me tell you, Mr. O’ Neal, the cow is a gentle creature and a good milker but she has upper teeth.” “Of course that changes the trade” said Mr. O’Neal. ‘You wouldn’t ex pect me to take a cow with such a defect as that, but bring me a good milker with sound upper teeth and i’ll buy her.” When the story got out there was great excitement in the cabbage end of his district. The grangers swore they wouldn’t have a Congressman who was “blamed fool enough to believe cows had upper teeth.” As a result O’Neal was only elected by the skin of his own upper teeth.
