WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN TUESDAY JULY 1S86.
h
MU. REESE ANDMORGAN COUNTY.
The Madisonian, each day, is
making the most frantic appeals to
the people of Morgan to stand by
Seaborn Reese, who “rescued her
front republican rule,” etc. Our
triend Blackburn owes his appoint-
TO THE VOTERS OP OGLETHORPE
COUNTY.
Ah, ha! A reliable friend from
Oglethorpe writes us that the Reese-
B.acon men are trying to swap off
their gubernatorial candidate for a
congressman. This is the same lit-
. I5 , lie game that lost Canton Greene,
ment as postmaster to Jteese, an<l : „„ , ,, . . . .

very naturally, and most commend- m ; m 1ed people of Oglethorpe coun-
ably, too, is paying off the debt by
supporting him for congress. As
to that “rescuing” business, Mr.
Reese was doubtless very anxious
to become the rescuer about that
time, and instead of the people be
ing under lasting obligations . to
Rec-e, it seems to us that the hoot
is on the other leg. Hut suppose
we glance over the field and see
how “this gallant son of old Mor
gan” shows h's love and devotion
to his people, lias lie appointed
a single native of the county to of
fice? i\arry a one. Oil the other
people of Oglethorpe conn
iy to mp in the bud such unfai-
and unjust steps toward a good and
brave man. The Reese men in
tend to try and pack the conven
tion in Lexington next Tuesday, in
the interest of their candidate, and
jhus secure a delegation before
Capt. Carlton can haven chance to
MU. REESE’S FRIENDS AND THE
SMALL COUNTIES.
There is nothing the American
peoplp more jealously guard than
their political rights—and most
pro perly so, too—and any move to
ward lessening the power of a
county is bitterly resented. The
meeting that convened in our city
was a democratic body, and intend
ed to he a representation only ot
that'party. The last census shows
that there are several thousand more
white voters in the seven small
counties than in the five large ones
—and color is the only party di-
o before the people and meet them I vlding line in the South that vve
can find. Hence, Mr. Vanduzer’s
face to lace. If they can outnum
ber. and thus fairly outvote the
Carlton men by fair means, and
after legal notice of what is to be
done that day has been made, it is
all right; but it is an outrage against
both Capt. Carlton and the people
to call a convention tor one purpose,
and then, by trading votes, rob a
hand, he ignores the petitions of) good and honest man'of the right
good and true applicants tor the j ^’ e heard in his. own behalf.
• . , Capt. Carlton now begs the ncople
position ol postmaster—men who ,,, , . , r. •, J,
11 of Oglethorpe, as he begged Mr.
were bom and reared upon the soil
of old Morgan—to bestow the place
on a native of Bartlesville and who
has only been a resident ot Madi
son for a tew years. This is the
kind ot “love” that Mr. Reese has
for his native county, and it im
presses us that old -Morgan will
heartily reciprocate it on the first
Tuesday in July. Now, vve do not
oppose Mr. Blackburn's appoint
ment as postm aster at Madison, for
were we in Congressman Reese’s
place the editor of the .Madisonian
would have been our choice also;
letborpi
Reese's friends in the convention,
to give him a chance to come before
them and be heard.
Mr. Reese’s friends assert that it
Capt. Carlton is defeated this time
he will be killed politically. This
argument will elect him. The
brave and true people of this dis
trict have no desire to “kill politi
cally,” or even humiliate.a man who
has stood so gallantly bv iiis party
and nis country as has II. H, Carl
ton lie has, under all and every
circumstance, been true to his coun
try and his pat tv, and no man in
Georgia more justly merits a-re-
ward.

this time. Tiie good people of
Morgan will judge a tree by its
fruits and the devotion of a son by
his conduct. The only obligation
the voters of Morgan are under to
Mr. Reese, that we can learn, is
that he once represented them in
the legislature at *7 per day.
<;7.t.T:xi:s (Treed.
Last Saturday, at the meeting j
held in Grecnesboru to select Reese ;
delegates, we learn that Mr. 11. T. j
Lewis made a speech denouncing j
tiie pronasition t > equalize reprv- j
sentalion in this district, lo which |
the strength of the smaller counties j
would he increased in ihe congres
sional convention. Mr. Lewis is
a fine speaker, but lie will never j

Capt. Carlton, and voted
down the resolution to postpone
the congressional convention, and
fixed an early day for its call. Bat
ihe is making a lightning campaign
over the district, and wherever he
meets the people they are his’n.
Carlton is adopting the same dar.h
aud daring that brought the ap-
plau'e of Gen. Lee npon him dur
ing the war.
We ask of the people throughout
the district that they do not let M r.
Reese's friends take snap judgment
a gainst Capt. Carlton and get up
stocked delegations. There is plen
ty of time to act, and he only asks
that he be allowed to come
before the voters and plead his
cause, lie wants to get the ear
of the people and will vest his
cau-e in their hands.
proposition to make the represen
tation 3 104 was more than just to
the large counties, and the indigna
tion of the people was proper over
the action #>f Mr. Reese's friends,
by which what they considered
simple justice was denied them.
Any one can see that to have
adopted Mr. Vanduzer’ sresolution
would be to transfer political pow
er from the large to the smaller
counties, and this would have
broken up that little ring said to
have been formed in the lower
counties, and also defeated Mr.
Reese this time. The Reese lead
ers dii! not look for this bombshell
from Hart, and it had to be voted
down. “To a man up a tree” it
seems that the people of the seven
small counties in the Sth district
must be deprived of their rights,
that Mr. Seaborn Reese may tie
returned to ccngress. In substan
tiation of this, we refer to the fact
that Mr. II. T. Lewis, the leader oi
the Reese forces iu Greene county,
is taking up tile matter. Thus it
will lie seen that Reese is an enemy
to the small counties, while Capt.
Carlton and his friends are defend
ing their rights. How any patriot
ic man living in Motgan, Madison,
Franklin, Hart or Elbert can vote
for Mr’ Reese, while his friends
and representatives are stilling
their rights, is beyond our corr.pre-
oension. Oglethorpe is heart and
hand with her smaller counties in this
fight—first, because it is just that a
more equitable representation be
formed; and second, that ling to
control the naming of future con
gressmen has left her out in the
polTFIcal co\vakdi OK—A SE
ItlOUS MATTER TO THE VO
TER8.
Do the people of the Sth dis
trict know that Congressman Sea
born* Reese continues to keep a re
publican in office over them? Such
is the case. Mr. George Wate re
mains in the postoffice at Washing
ton, in defiance of the fact that
there are a number of good men
and democrats applying for the
place. Mr. Reese’s motive for de
laying action in this matter is
apparent to alb It is political cow
ardice. lie knows that when he
appoints one r pplicant the dirap—
pointed ones .to whom he lias
made promises will doubtless op
pose him, and hence he keeps them
ali on the anxious bench, and lets a
republican remain in office over one
of the strongest democratic commu
nities in Georgia. Mr. Reese
knows that lie has promised the
Washington office to Mark Rharr,
| and why
man at once? He would make a
splendid officer. The people do not
ike to see their important offices
used lor the pm pose of electing Mr
Reese. In Washington, they are
treated to the sight of a republican
still holding office over democrats,
when by opening his lips our
representative in congress could
have him temoved. Even Capt.
Carlton’s enemies will tell you that
The only claim that Mr. Reese’s friends
put up for him is that he is a genial,
clever fellow. These qualifications are
all right if a fellow wants to become the
roper-in fora Pharaoh bank, but they
don’t count much when intelligent peo
ple want to select a man that will repre
sent them in congress with credit and
ability.
The Sparta Ishinaelite—Mr. Reese’s
home paper—doesn’t seem to be tearing
it's hair anich over its fellow-county -
man. There are grave doubts about
lleese carrying liis own connty had the
people been given a vote. But that
packed convention saved him Hancock,
but it won’t save his congressional hide
from Capt. Carlton.
It is reported that Mr. Reese started to
come home and meet Carlton, but his
friends wired him not to do so. Nothing
would please Capt. Carlton or his friends
better than to have the Honorable Sea
born meet their ehampion on the stump.
Carlton would blow him up ami explode
him like a child would a soap bubble.

A letter from Elbert says: ’

for Reese. Capt. Carlton’s friends will
pay Johnnie his regular scheduled legal
price if he will make a Reese speech up
in Goshen. Oh, how the people up
there love Johnnie!”

A tight is being made by Mr

Capt. Carlton rescued Clarke

the same time that Mr. Reese was

to the people for thus honoring
him, instead ol charging it up as a
.debt against them. This little straw
shows the difference between the
two candidates. Tiievoteis would
do well to stick a pin right here.

district. If Hart goes against Mr.
Vanduzer .in this matter, her people
deserve to wear the chains of bond
age. It was Congressman Reese’s
friends that killed his resolution ir.
tlie convention, and it is Reese's
leaders who are now denouncing il
throughout the district. The peo
ple will soor. speak on this subject,
and then you are going to sec some
“snowing under” done.
IT WON'T WORK.
We learn that some of Mr.
Reese’s friends are trying to injure
Capt, Carlton on account of a iit lie
paragraph that appeared in the
Constitution btfore lie was an
nounced for congress, stating that
iic favored Gen. Gordon for gov
ernor. Capt. Carlton lias been
striclly neutral in this campaign, at
the personal request of both Major
Bacon and Gen. Gordon, while at
Eexington. lie fought side by side
with Gen. Gordon, was with, him
when he was shot down, and slept
under the same blanket with this
gallantJSouthcrn leader. Besides,
both the General and his wife are
Carlton’s personal Iriends, -and lie
is as much at home at their house
ns his own. Q;i the other hand, he
served for six years in the legisla
ture with Major Bacon, and they
roomed together. Iiis couise is
commendable, and the Reese lead
ers are perfectly welcome to all the
capital they can make out of a per
fectly proper and legitimate friend
ship between two. brave soldiers.
Gen. Gordon told Capt. Carlton in
Lexington that lie had as soon see
him(Catlton) elected to congress as
himself (Gordon) governor.
Why is it that Mr. Blackburn
!._s not written an editorial de
nouncing the conduct of Mr.
Reese’s friends, by which the
strength of his own county is cur
tailed, under Mr. Vanduzer’s rcso-
resolution? Surely he cannot de
fend his candidate in opposition to
the interests of his own people.
The Madisonian . facetiously
quotes Capt. Carlton’s chances as
it would a cotton market, and says
he is fluctuating. Capt. Carlton
never “fluctuated’’ in days that tried
men’s souls, or when his country or
his party demanded his strong arm

When Capt. Carlton le-announc-
ed we wrote to several representa
tive men in each county in the dis
trict and asked for a tair opinion as
to his chances, and also what the
people thought of Mr. Vanduzer’s
resolution. We to-day publish a
lew of the replies received, which
speak for themselves.
Will Editor Blackburn please
tell us if lie endorses the conduct of
Mr. Reese’s friends and leaders,
by which his own county was de
prived of a fair representation in
the congressional convention? If
so his Irienpship foT Mr. Reese is
greater than his love for the country
of his adoption.
A correspondent from Ogle
thorpe tells us that Mr. Reese is be
ing toled in that county by the poli
ticians. The same news comes
from everv other county in the Sth
district. But this seems to be an
off year for politicians, and the peo
ple are going to have a say.
It is reported that Mr. Reese has
been wired to come home, as tilings
look threatening. Nothing would
suit Capt. Carlton belter. He ask-
e i Mr. Reese’s friends to postpone
action until his opponent could he
heard from.
When Capt. Cariton, upon the I
retirement of Col. Nisbet. re enter- j
ed the congressional race, with only
ten days in which to make the fight, j
he displayed that same daring and
dash that characterized this gallant !
officer on so many battle-fields, and !
brought upon him the applause of I
the immortal Lee himself. When I
duty calls, Capt. Carlton never
Fol. Xisbet tells us that there are more
than three black voters to one white in
Putnam, and a negro vote lias not been
east in the county in years. And yet,
with this showing, Mr. Reese and his
leaders want to give l'utnam two more
votes than they do Madison, llart, Jil-
hort and other counties where the demo
crats overwhelmingly predominate. Is
there any justice in this? Are the small
counties going to endorse such methods
bv voting for Reese? Ira Vanduzer is
(lie champion of the people, and he now-
asks your endorsement.
A writer from llart says when their
time comes, they want Ira Vanduzer for
congress. 1 nless we defeat that combi
nation to roh the small counties of their
rights, and break up that syndicate of
politicians. Hart's time to name a con
gressman will never come, as likewise
j filbert's and Franklin's and Madison's

tops to count the risk or to view t #ni| Oglethorpe's. We’ll bust
Hart is n little aunty, blit the

ali in Ira Vanduzer. It would hen
shame on his people if they do not

The vilest slanders are still being cir
culated against Capt. Carlton. In due
season somebody has got to swallow
these libels. Capt. Carlton don’t ask any
vindication at the ballot-box. lie car
ries a big stock of it stored about him
in his stout muscles and brave heart
lie has the right treatment for sneaks
and slanderers.
Glance around your county and see if
the most blatant Reese leaders are not
lawyers, politicians, pap-suckers, or some
fellow that wants to get a grip on the
public teat.
That “roorback” about an attempt
to buy up Editor Magill proved a
boomerang to tha fy’onstitntion.
Ira Vanduzer was born in old
Elbert, and he nobly represented
his native county when he stood
up so manfully for the rights ol her
people. Elbert will endorse him
by sending a strong anti-Reese del
egation to the congressional con
vention.
the danger, but he starts out with
a determination to win at all haz
ards. When the people read Capt.
Carlton’s card in the same paper as
Col. Xixbet's withdrawal, some said
that he was going to certain defeat,
while others applauded Iiis self-sac
rificing devotion to the wishes of
that highly-respcctable following in
the district that had first brought
him out, and whom lie determined
should have an opposing candidate
to Mr. Reese. But like one of the
many gallant and reckless defences |
by his battery—when Capt. Carl
ton, withjess than too men, has
repulsed charge after charge Horn
regiments, brigades and divisions of
the enemy, and thrilled Mrc whole
army ol Virginia at his gallantry
and prowess--he went in to win
and did not stop to count numbers
with his enemy. Capt. Carlton has
already visited Madison, Franklin
and Hart, and carried ali before
him. On the w ’ngs of lightning,
as it^were, he is flying through the
district, and the Reese following is
vanishing like mist before his con
vincing eloquence and magnetic
presence. He will this week lay
siege to Elbert, Oglethorpe and
Morgan, and we venture the proph
ecy that Carlton will not lose a sin
gle one of these counties. The
people admire a brav’e man, and
Capt. Carlton’s dash and daring has
entranced the whole district with
admiration. There is not another J
man in Georgia who would have at
tempted or could have made such a
campaign save Henry Carlton.
Such pluck, energy and endurance
is peculiar to this gallant officer, and
when he is crowned with success.

Reese's little gal

e, hoys, anil don't you
The Madisonian insinuates that there
is trading and trickery between Carlton
and Nisbet. The cards of the two gen
tlemen brand this as false. When Col.
Nisbet wasat Capt. Carlton's house, Mr.
G. E. Heard, formerly of Elbert, was
present, and lie will affirm that politics
were not touched on at all. We suppose
there was no trading and trickery in that
refusal of Mr. Reese’s friends and advis
ers, by which Morgan was deprived of
her fair representation in the congres
sional convention.
Mr. Ira Vanduzer is before llart coun
ty asking an endorsement of his people
on that resolution increasing their repre
sentation in the congressional conven
tion. Mr. John I*. Shannon is oil trial in
Elhert for failing to cast the vote of that
county when it would have increased the
political flower of his people Mjj per
cent. We shall anxiously watch the re
sult in these two counties. If Hart goes
for lleese, Mr. Vanduzer is condemned;
if Elbert sends a Reese delegation, Mr.
Shannon stands vindicated by his people.
Mr. Reese's friends say that Dr. An
drews. of Washington, whom our con
gressman promised to keep in office, is
not a republican. The Doctor is one of
the nicest men we ever met, but he held
office under two republican Presidents,
and was doubtless assessed to support
that party. Resides, Mr. Reese did not
keep the promise he had so faithfully
made. This simple fact should defeat
him.
The Reese loaders are afraid to let
Carlton meet the people face to face, and
are trying to get snap judgment on him
through packed meetings, called for an
other purpose than selecting congres
sional delegates. Capt Carlton only
asks a fair hearing, when he will ex
plain everything to vour entire satisfac-
his triumoh will be only the grander tion. This is simple justice and should

humiliating. At this hour cheers
are going up for Carlton from cne
end of the district to the other, and
the whole state is watching his dash
ing campaign with admiration.
Those miserable slanderers ove r tho

Carlton by circulating the most in

The Manner-Watchman helped to save
the old flth district from independent
rule, and it is now trying to save the new
8th district from the rule of politicians,
who have conspired to control the nomi
nation of a congressman hv rohhing the
seven small counties of their just rights.
It is hitein the day, lmt we think we
will he able to block his little game.
When the small counties and Ogle
thorpe speak, Mr. Reese's friends will
tind that they made a sad mistake in
strangling the voice of the white demo
crats of this district. This is an organ
ized district, but the voters can and will
enter their protest at the primary hallot-
box or on the floor of a con vention hall.
Why don't Congressman Reese ap
point a democratic postmaster at Wash
ington, Ga.? He is evidently afraid to do
so until after Wilkes county acts. Per
haps there are more of those Andrews
letters afloat. How does this treacherous
timidity chime with Capt. Carlton's hon
est courage?
The glad tidings reach us that Hart is
ready, anxious and awaiting to vindicate
\ anduzer. Send him to us at the head
of vous delegation, and the young democ
racy of Athens will meet this gallant
champion of the people at the depot with
a four-in-hand and a brass hand.
Putnam has only SOO more population
than Morgan, and yet Mr. Reese's friends
gave the form„r county two more vote
than the latter. Scab's love for his na
tive county gets more and more apparent
—or rather transparent—each day.
It is currently reported that Mr. Reese,
failing to get his friend Jilackhurn into
the Madison post-office, will now
have his brother-in-law (Mr. Martin)
appointed. So its all in the family, you
The seven small counties must stand
shoulder to shoulder in their fight against
Mr. Reese and his backers, to cripple
their just representation. They must
fight for their rights with paper bullets
shot into the ballot-box.

Capt. W. P. Manly.
Captain IV. P. Manly, whose picture
heads this article, is a well-known inenid
her of Atlanta’s excellent police force
Atlanta noted for the discipline and
efficiency of its corps ot police and the
standard of its rank and file is very high.
Captain Manly is a fair specimen of the
intelligence and physical perfection
which is required of its officials. Some
a ear- ago the Captain unfortunately ac
quired a blood poison, which for years
gave him more or less trouble, and
threatened to uudermine and # totally
destroy his entire physical system. lie
is a magnificent specimen of manhood
with a constitution like iron, but this
insidious disease gave him
ITHMI ST A K AIILK WARNING
that it was gapping and mipmg
at the foundations of Iiis constitution.
The Captain said In conversation lvst
week:
“ Yes, sir, about two years ago I was
afflicted with :i bad case of blood poison,
and after trying various blood remedies
in large quantities without doing me
the slightest good, I was induced to try
HunnicutCs Rheumatic Cure, and after
using three bott" s was completely cured.
‘ I am now in perfect health aud at
tribute my present condition to tills
wonderful medicine. I cheerfully re
commend it to all who are suffering with
any blood disorder.’
The cheapness of this wonderful
remedy, (its price being only $1 a bottle)
should place it within reach of all and
no better cleanser anti blood cure was
ever made. I know, fori tried ’em all.*
This medicine Manufactured by J. M.
Hi’unicutt & Co., Atlanta, Ga.," is for
ssle bv all druggist.
