WEEKLY BANNER-WATCHMAN TUESDAY JU LY iSSC..
-CLARKE (BOUNTY METHODS.’
Now (fan J the nomination of Gen.
| |orilon is Assured and nothing moi e
be /gained by slandering the
*d popple of our county, we
tped thfiat the Constitution would
ve itfi senders a rest on its “Clarke
i ’atIf methods” cry. There was
-hi£ng in it from the tirst—as
>me half dozen counties had acted
|ven previous to Clarke, one of
iem going for Gen. Gordon—and
-e presumed that this, paper had
.nglcd out our county from the lot
• wing to the prominent position it
ad always occupied in politics,
nd that >t might make the more
ipilal lrom it. But now since the
ontest is over, and the Constitution
j ill keeps up that to dish charge,
begins to dawn upon our people
jut there is a deeper meaning in
j this than a mere campaign cty.
/Acems that the Constitution,
tompted cither by hatred, envy,
ralousy or malice against the d«-
locracy ol Clarke, has deliberately
•t to work with the intent of prep
living the state against our conn-
, by holding its people up to puh-
; ridicule and contempt as politi-
il thieves and tricksters. It seems
,at the Constitution, because it
mnot twist and warp the ilcraoc-
cy of Clarke to suit its own polit-
il ends and interests, is now try
■ g td destroy their inlluence and
jbwer by heaping upon them the
cost unjust censure. ll this is not

Wauor ami say something about

1. Gordon, or the several olhet
junties that ate in the same boat

eclining to wait to git permission

Us a precedent lot what she did.
jne to read the Constitution would
{link that Clarke county had com-
litted the unpaulonable political
n, and was a fester on the demo-
ratic party of Georgia—a leper
rat should he avoided by all good
nd honest politicians. The truth
, we only followed the example
icing set by other counties—one o.
‘ hitch sent Gordon delegates—and
e exercised a right of managing
teir own alTairs, w ithout outside
lerference, that we still claim and
rill maintain. That meeting was

Plarke county methods," with a

ind this than the mere echo of a

We have received a number of
letters from various parts of the Sth | desperate strait when he has to ex
district and the state asking “who is act a written pledge from bis voters
Ira Yanduzer?” We will answer to stick to him before they are al-
tliem all by giving a brief sketch of
the life of this prominent young
man, who has such a warm place
in the hearts of the people. Ira
Vsnduzer was botn and raised in
Elhcrlon, Ga , and his father, the
late Judge Yanduzer; was a lawyer
of considerable note, and one ol the
brainiest and purest men we ever
kntw. Ira Yanduzer graduated* at
Vanderbilt University with honor,
when he settled in Hartwell to prac
tice law, becoming a partner with
lion. F. 15. Iloilges. A few months
since he married Mrs. Anna Snow,
daughter of Col. Iloilges, and an
amiable and highly accomplished
lady. Ira Yanduzer has already
madc his mark at the har, and he is
on one side or the other of every
important case in his county. lie
is naturally of a retiring disposition,
avoids notoriety; but inherits a
limitless and courageous determi
nation when in the right thst knows
no such word i s yield. He is the
soul of Honor, and a strong sense ol
justice anti fairness hfs character
ized him since a hoy. He little
Ireamed, when introducing his res
olution, that it would make him
not only famous, but insure to him
the lasting gratitude of his people.
To show how Mr. Yanduzer stands
at home, we have only to refer to
he handsome endorsement his
county gave him through Capt.
Carlton. When the time comes, his
old home. Elbert, will second Hart
in doing honor to so true and noble
a son.

and then attack the Christian char

AFRAID To TRFST THEIR MEN
Iu Lexington, Reese’s friends
kept a book at his headquarters, in
:h his supporters were required
to register their names beneath a
s ilcntn pledge that they would pos-
ely support him. Efforts were
also made, we learn, to keep as
many of his men as possible from
listening to Capt. Carlton's speech,
and we saw a number of his fol
lowers that you could not get near
the rostrum. But this registering
Mr. Seabon Reese* is a genial
clever whole-souled gentleman, a
true and tried democrat, and an
honest and incorruptible man. Not
one of Capt. Carlton’s ftiends has
ever disputed the above facts, for it
would be lalse and slanderous on
Mr. Reese. Now, while these
traits would make him a good and
agreeable companion,and a valuable
friend, at the s£me time they are
not the requisites for acongress-
min. We do charge—and defy
Mr. Reese’s friends or organs to
repudiate it—that he has neglected
his duties in Washington, and fail
ed even to exercise such ability as
he possessed as he should have none
in the interest of his people.
Through carelessncls or indolence
he refused to reply to thousands of
important business letters address
ed to him bv his constituents, and
his face was rarely seen in the dis
trict until he began to ask foi a re-
election to congress He has net
secured for his people as many of
fices as he could have done, and act
ually let Col. Candler, from the
9th district, capture both of ihe
postal clerks on the North-Eastern
road, when Mr. Reese was fairly-
entitled to one of them, and he had
good and faithlul men applying for
the pla.e. Instead ot attending to the
business entrusted by the people to
his care, he has flittered away his
time in Washington, and when ask
ed to render an account of what he
had done the past four years, could
only cite to a vote against the oleo
margarine bill. The little city of
Greeneville, S. C,, and other places
the size and population of Athens,
have secured appropriations from
the government to erect public
buildings, and yet Mr. Reese has
not lilted his voice to secure any-
thirg for his people. Hence we
assert that Mr. Reese has done no
thing to warrant being returned
for a font th term, and it is gteedy
anJ unreasonable lor him to ask it
when there are so many men tar
more capable to represent our dis-
trict in this capacity. Again, Wc
assert that Mr. Reese is not
tile candidate of the people, but is
hacked by a certain ring of politi
cians, who have headquarters
in the little court-house towns,
and they have promised him in ad
vance the support of their respec
tive counties—an injustice to the
and tattling speech Horn our Cun-
gressman; and that he would lay
bare his valuable public services.
We imagined that Mr. Reese would
enlighten his constituents as to whst
he had done for them during those
four years, that they might pat him
on his broad hack and say, “W«l
done, thou good and faithful sei-
vant!” But, alas! we were doomed
to disappointment. We heard Con
gressman Seab. at Lexington, and
a more rambling, rattling, disjointed
oration never fell upon the expec
tant ears ot a victimized constitu
ency. Although this was Mr.
Reese’s first appearance before* his
people on his return home, he diu
not speak over half of his alloted
time, and then it was one of the
poorest defenses we ever heard set
up by a man occupying so impor
tant a position. The only thing ht
told the people was that he had
voted against the oleomargarine bill,
and recited what great things u
was going to do for the country, ll
theieis anyone public measure that
the people ot the Sth Georgia dis-’
trictaie the least interested in, it is
that oleomargarine bill. We don’t
suppose thcte is one voter in a thou
sand in our district who ever saw »
piece of oleomargarine, and it is a
matter of perlcct inuiflerence tc
them whether our neighbors up in
Yankeedom use pure or bogus but
ter. But as voting against this ole
omarguiiec bill was the only ac
count that our congressman gave 01
his stewardship, we suppo,c it is al
the benefit our people have receiveu
lrom the twenty-odd thousand dol
lars in salary paid to lii.-n. Ni■,
Seab.,we don’t want any n.oieoe r-
maigarine congressmen. We have
given one a trial for tour years, anu
have more than enough of him. Wt
want some man to represent us who
will not insult hit. constituency by
refusing to answer their letters; who
will help us get appropriations
through to build new posl-uflices,
a.rd who will watch over and care
fully guard the interests of his cou
stituuucy.
buxiness! Was it not the most d
grading insult that could be offered i vo,ers ,he co «nDy, who have
a free and intelligent voter, and did
it n rt show that Mr. Reese knew
he could not hold his own with
Capt. Carlton in debate and he
wanted to bind his men to him with
something stronger than a promise
-—m black and white—hefote they
w.-re- permitted to compare his abil-
i y with his opponent’s? We n'te
surprised that in the grand old
county of Oglethorpe men could be
found to place such an insulting
stigma on their intelligence and
manhood as this registering affixed!
Even such a proposition was a
shameful insult to a man, for it
ipresentative of that paper visits simply meant that he must be the
te Classic City he is received with j political serf of Seah. Reese, and
rtenlj hands. Tl en, we as! , j by signing that paper he had relin-
hat have wc done to deserve such
njust, unfair anil unkind treat-
Sent , at its hands? The
!arke county democracy has done
yfiUSh for its party and the state
-any section of Georgia, and we
quished his right to be guided Ily
ins own judgment and to vote for
the man he thought the best quali
fied to represent bis district in con
gress. We have frequently spoken
of the degrading depths to which
el the more keenly the fiendish 1 modern politics sometimes descend,
iiture of this attempt to disgrace
& throughout the state. The Con-
fitution’s continued attack on
larke county, now that the race is

ding cause for our step, is a shame
ftd an outrage, and any fair-mind-
1 man—be he for Gen. Gordon or

so debasely degrading to an intelli
gent and independent voter, as the
move made by Mr. Reese and his
leaders to tie him upon the dav of

to hear a joint discussion between
the two candidates. We tru-t that,
for the honor of old Oglethorpe,

A Meeting of Two Young intellectual Olaats

Humor—Incidents of the Campaigns in

Man Who Defeated Hlm--Oen. Gordon
Stealing the Independent Thunder.
The other morning Judge Emory
Speerond Mr. Tinny Uuoker met in the
Banner-Watchman sanctum, and - fir
several hours fought their old campaigns-
o’er again, this time as friends and in the
best of humor. We do not know wher.
we were more highly entertained than
in listening to these two brilliant gentle
men recounting their experiences on the
stump and resurrecting forgotten inci
dents and anecdotes connected with the
famous campaign in which they were
pitted against each other. It was cer
tainly a battle of intellectual giants, for
there were not a pair of brainier young
■ten in the South than Itucker and
Speer.
“Yes, Emory,” remarked Rucker, “but
the meanest thing you ever did me was
at Lawreuceville, where I had come to
meet you and reply on the part of Col
Billups. There was no division of time,
ind yon had the tirst say. Well, you
itarted in at 1 o'clock sharp, anil talked
md talked and talked, f thought that
lou never would finish. The crowd
ihowcd evident signs of restlessness,
>ut still you kept on. At last you saw
•hat it was impossible to hold them
iny longer and sat down at T
uinutes past 4—having spoken just a
■ittie over 3 hours. When.1 arose to put
a iny reply there was a regular stain
.iede, and I had only empty benches to
qieak to.
*.*1
“fcut you did a far meaner trick than
hat to another one of the Billups orators.
It was at Danialsville, and he went over
o reply to you. You had the crowd,
and after l.trrangueing them for over two
hours, took your hat and apologized for
leaving the court-house, saying that you
aad an engagement to speak at Nicholson
hat night. The hoys saw that this broke
up all hope of a joint debate* and the fun
incident thereto, and to a man followed
you out, just as my distinguished friend
irose with ‘Friends and fellow-country
men.’ I consoled him with the remark
that the boys had only gone out to liquor
up and would soon return; but that was
the last we saw of the crowd.”
***
J udge Speer remarked that there is
a quaint humor about the Georgia moun
taineer that is both rich and original, and
during his campaigning up .the country
he often witnessed sudden outbursts of
it. At Clayton, he was speaking against
Col. Bell, and that gentleman in his re
marks was comparing himself to an old,
reliable horse, while he made of Speer a
frisky young colt, utterly untrustworthy,
ind not even bride-wise. J ust at this
interval, a gawky young voter, barefooted
and with copperas pants, who had been
carried away with Speer’s speech, yelled
out to Col. Bell: “Yes; but you are too
old a boss for me to try—you stems ycr
fodder!” Col. Bell's teeth are projecting
and stand wide apart, and the ridiculous
appropriateness of the remark at once
seized the crowd and they literally yelled
Bell down.
V
The .1 mlge says the most ridiculously
amusing remark he ever heard one of
these mountaineers make was up in
Lumpkin county. One old fellow, a few
nights before, while out fox hunting, fell
into an old shaft, hut escaped with only a
few bmises. He was recounting his ac
cident to a friend, who remembered the
shaft, and remarked;
“Well, Uldeclar! You must have fell
twenty feet.”
“Fully that,” was the reply, “and had
the shaft been deeper I’d have fallen
further than that!”

Dr. H. H. Carlton, is to be our next
representative from the Sth con
gressional district of Georgia, for I'
think he deserves it,for he laid aside
a good practice in medicine in 1S61
though quite young, and rushed to
the front—the same place General
Goidon was, and although he could
have been promoted, he had prom
ised the boys to stick to them as
captain, and he kept that promise
and surrendered with Gordon and
Lee at Appomattox, the same Capt.

It is very unkind in some of Seal.
Reese’s political enemies to insinu
ate that he voted against the oleo
margarine bjll through base per
sonal motives—that the price of
tallow might be kept down and
hair oil produced cheaper.
When a congressman, after serv
ing for over four years, and in giv
ing an account of his stewardship
can only recount having voted
.against the oleomargarine bill, it
is not a matter of surprise that he
has to get his voters to sign a sol
emn'obligation to make them Mick.
We yesterday published a per
fectly fair and just report <jf the
Oglethorpe meeting from the Au
gusta Chronicle. It is exactly cor
rect, and shows conclusively that
Carlton has the delegation.'
In his speech in Harfwell, so we
see from the Sun, Mr. Keese heart
ily endorsed the proposition to in
crease the representation of the
smaller counties at the expense ot
the larger qpes, and said that he
would sustain and deler.d it But
even this confession did not save
his bacon. Wopder if be will make

Judge Speer says he is grateful to the
hoys in Athens for defeating him with
Col. Candler, as it removed him from po
litical life and drove him into his chosen
profession. ]le is charmed with the
bench, and says it is the most delightful
pursuit he has ever followed. He has
retired from politios, and his only ambi
tion now is to rise in his profession. He
entertains no animosities against any one
on account of his defeat, and is glad to
enew his friendship with the people of
Athens. If he can so arrange Judge
Speer will make this city his summer
home, and spend his vacations here. He
will he warmly welcomed, and we liocp
that he will do so.

‘But, speaking of my defeat,” contin
ued the Judge, “it was the irony of un-
k ind ness not to pick out a better looking
man than your friend Candler to beat
me with. f)n my return to Washington
I was besieged by my congressional
friends—both democrats and republi
cans—to point out the man who had so
badly snowed me under. Well, 1 had to
look all over the house, and finally dis
covered him drawn up in his. chair, with
his stomach protruding, his head tuck
ed down in that little bunch of red
:hin whisker. To me, at least, he was a
most comical looking figure. There
was but one reply: ‘The d—1!”’ We
never ran the Colonel on looks, we must
confess, but he a regular steam en
gine of a congressman when it comes to
work.

“But I see that the Constitution has at
last vindicated my position when I ran
as an independent in this district, and in
the Gordon-Bacon campaign, used pre
cisely the same arguments, almost word
for word, that I did from the stump.
Why, had the people been permitted to
express their preference through prima
ry elections, as Gen. Gordon and the
Constitution demanded, I never would
have opposed the organized democracy,
hut would have been perfectly content
to submit my claims to the convention.
