f 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 : „„ , ,, . . . . 1 . ’ and we call on the honest, tair- 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. but tlu-n we do not claim toward ,,,, „ , .. . I J he Reese men were afraid to this county that great love and »>e— : trus-t their candidate’s chances to votion Mr. Reese professes, not be- | the people after they had seen and ing a native of it. No, brother Blackburn, that old gag won’t work heard . \ 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 he able to convince the people that 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. John P. A letter from Elbert says: ’ not appoint the young Shannon, our congressman's ‘big injun,’ is working Franklin, llart and Madison 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!” OH!

A tight is being made by Mr Reese's friends on Mr. Vanduzer’s resolution, and it now behooves the smaller counties to stand square ly by their rights.

Mr Reese’s friends have declared war on his resolution: hut Mr. Vanduzer lias He has even refused his people that common courtesy of answering their letters. His most partial friends do not claim that Mr. Reese is endowed with any unusual order of intellect. V liy then, we ask, should he be ac corded such honor as being re turned to congress for a fourth term? Tiie truth is, the people • mst l bave l la( ] enough of Congressman Reese, and it is the politicians of the district that are trying to force fortlie.n to now support him, Th ey ■ ,• , 11 -'I mm in this tune—under cannot do so without sacrificin their sell-respect and thefr own ir terests. of justice makes commend it.

Capt. Carlton rescued Clarke county from republican rule about the same time that Mr. Reese was saving old Morgan: hut the Cap tain feels under lasting obligations 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. Mr. Reese's friends have declar ed war to the knife against Mr. Ira Vanduzer and his resolution de- be- j lending the rights of the seven tive county (Morgan), and after I sweeping through the ‘ Free State,” j Franklin and Elbert, it will find j an echo in little Hart.

CAItl.Tti.V.-s CAMPAIGN. fore the people :.s tlie champion ol the seven small counties in the Sth 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 or his brilliant mir.d. | small counties of the district. Let Hart reward her gallant young champion by sending him at the j head ol a solid anti-Reese delega- I lion to the congressional conven- j tion. hacked by strong resolutions Lof endorsement. 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 j and Clarke's and Oconee’s and Morgan's tops to count the risk or to view t #ni| Oglethorpe's. We’ll bust Hart is n little aunty, blit the furnished the Sth district her Goli- ali in Ira Vanduzer. It would hen shame on his people if they do not endorse him. 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. Mr. Reese's little gal foriret it. 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 and Mr. Reese’s defeat the more , not be denied him. 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 district, that are trying to injure Capt. Carlton by circulating the most in famous lies, have not tho courage to coine face to face with him and repeat — ~ — — j *heir words. Capt Carlton will meet Carlton now lias six votes to Reese’s j ‘*? e pCOp,e on the stum P- nnd ho wiH the “ ten, but by next week he will pass S’vo you an honest, straight-forward an- him, and then keep in the lead. swcr t0 ,ny Ttestion that you ask. Carlton with lleese. 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. SING HEY, THE GALLANT CAPTAIN. The Remarkable Story of an Atlanta Policeman Capt. W. P. Manly. Captain IV. P.
