GOVERNOR GORDON.
Of all the counties in Georgia, we do
not suppose Gen. Gordon found stronger
ormoro determined opposition from any
than he encountered in Clarke. lie
found, too, that our people made no
covert attack, hut they fought him with
their visors raised and hilt to hilt This
opposition was attributable not to any
doubt that we had of Gen. Gordon's
honesty or patriotism or ability; but it
was based on equally as high grounds.
First, we considered Gen. Gordon’s can
didacy for Governor untimely, and that
it was calculated to produce bitterness
and discord in the ranks of the demo
cratic party in our State at a time when
the greatest unity should exist. Second,
We believed that he was forced into the
race, probably against his own judgment
and wishes, in order to further the ends
of a political ring and as the only man
with whom they could hope to defeat
Major Itacon; and third, we believed that
in the event of Gen. Gordon's election
that he would bo under the control of
, certain politicians in Atlanta, and his tri
umph could but tend to centralize
political power in our State, and threaten
the interests of the people at large. Thus
honestly believing, the Banker-Watch
man opposed 'he nomination of Gen.
Gordon with all the power that the pen
f its editor possessed; and believing as
we at that time believed, we would
make the same light an hundred times
'ver were it necessary. But little did
count on the magnetic power andua-
•■led popularity of Gen. Gordon,
t not to defeat him was like tear-
■r n idol that a nation had set up
to woi-flA IDs campaign was the most
wonderful in the political history of our
ration. He tore victory from the very
grasp of his distinguished antagonist,
and was carried into office by a ground-
swell of the populace. When the dem
ocratic party of Georgia, in convention
assembled, placed its seal on Gen. Gor
don, he that hour became Clarke coun
ty’s candidate, and the Banker-Watch
man’s candidate, for Governor, and had
it been necessary, we would have labor
ed as earnestly for his election as we
wr rked for bis defeat in the nominating
convention. We had no personal war
fare to wage against Governor Gordon,
but admired and honored him as an hon
est gentleman and a valliant Confederate
officer. Wo felt that if a mistake had
been made in his election, the people had
but themselves to blame. We deter
mined to carefully watch the official
career of Gen. Gordon, and commend
whnt was deserving and condemn what
w-> believed threatening to the public
iuon-aU. Thus far Gov. Gordon has
had a quiet and uneventful reign, but
certain littlo “straws show how the wind
blows.” ' We have already seen enough
to satisfy us of one thing—that the peo
ple of Georgia elected John B. Gordon
Governor, and be alone is the Governor;
that he will not be dictated to or ruled by
any man or set of men, and is bringing
to bear in his civil office that same de
termined courage that characterized his
career as a soldier. If certain parties
counted on manipulating the administra-
tioi of Governor Gordon to suit their
individual ends and interests, they ealeu
latud without their hosts. Most prop
erly ne is rewarding his friends accord
ing to their merits; but so far as the
official administration of his office is con
te: ued, John B. Gordon alone wields the
lulra of state. Many people believe
th-t the Atlanta Constitution jnsde Gen
era! Gordon C;»c:nor. No doubt but
what this able and influential paper
helped to swell his flattering majorities
bnt it was the people who made him
GovemoT, and there has not been an
hour since his candidacy was announced,
hut he would have overwhelmingly tri
umphed, had the Constitution and every
other paper in Georoia opposed him
Gov. Gordon’s action in the re-appoint
ment of Mr. Trammell as Rsilroad
Commissioner, and the comments of the
Constitution thereon, show that the
Gr vernor is not the pnppet of any man
or organ, but is the Chief Magistrate of
the great people of Georgia, to whom
alone he owes allegiance.
a prompt and thorough reform of the
tariff. It was evident at the time that
Mr. Randall and his little knot of protec
tion democrats would fight the adminis
tration band and with the Republicans to
defeat the measure.
The motion to consider the tariff was
lost by a vote of 148 ayes to 154 noes.
Mr. Morrison held all the Democratic
votes he had last session, and besides
the two New York Democrats gained
two Republican votes, Messrs. Hayden
and Stone, of Massachusetts. Ofthe 148
votes for consideration, 142 are Demo
crats, including General Weaver, the
Iowa Oreenhacker; six are republicans,
namely, Messrs. White, Nelson, Strait
and Wakefield, of Minnesota; Messrs.
Stone and Hayden, of Massachusetts.
Of the 154 negative votes, 129 are Repub
licans, and the following twenty-five are
democrats: Gay, St Martain, Iron and
Wallace, of Louisiana; Randall, Sowden,
Curtis, Ermentrout and Boy]e, of Penn
sylvania; Campbell, Foran, Geddes, Sc-
ney, Leary, Wilkins and Warner, of
Ohio; Bliss, Spriggs, Stahlnecker and
Merriman, of New York; Lawler and
Ward, of Illinois; McAdoo and Green, of
New Jersey, and Martin, of Alabama.
The issue is now squarely before the
country. Revenue reform is more thor
oughly alive than ever. The Democratic
party and the Democratic administration
have spoken, and the issue has been
kept down by a knot of protection dem
ocrats, who are joined to their favored
idols.
Let the people see exactly between
what limits the issue lies, and where the
Randall party is leading to.
RANDALL AND THE REPUBLICANS.
REGISTRATION FOR CLARKE.
OUR COTTON RECEIPTS.
The cotton receipts of Athens have run
this season with surprising regularity.
They have held up in spite of the short
crop, and the prospects are that although
the yield in our immediate section has
been reduced fully one-third, the receipts
in this city will be increased almost one-
third.
Of course this could not have hap
pened had not Athens drawn her cotton
from a much larger territory this season
than ever before. The boundaries of our
trade have been manifestly enlarged. It
is surprising to find that Athens com
mands cotton over the Gainesville, Jef
ferson & Southern Railroad by Social
Circle on the south and Gainesville on
the north. She draws cotton this year
from Wilkes, Lincoln, Taliaferro, Greene
and Morgan on the south, and from Hall,
Banks and even Franklin on the north.
This she does, and these advantages she
holds by virtue of being the best market
in.Nortb Georgia, and one of the very
highest in the State.
Early in November we published the
total receipts at Athens then returned
each week to the Banner-Watchman
by special count, as 30,581.
Following then, is the aggregate up to
last Friday:

that for six or seven years he had seen

MtTSTACHE.
When asked if he wore a moustache on
his trip to Richmond; he said that he
never had worn a moustache at any peri
od of his life.
With regard to his presence at Mazart
Hall, he stated that lie had confidently
expected Mr. Ilenly to remember seeing
him there, and that he also thought he
would have been able to show that he
was at Morganstein’s, but one of the at
tendants at the saloon, whom he thought
could identify him, had : n the mean
time died. Cluverius did not mention
the man’s name,but he no doubt referred
to Mr. James E. Newman, who died
September 3d, 1885, having been suffo
cated by coal gas at Krouse's hotel, on
Broad street.

Wc see that abill has passed both the
house and senate providing for the reg
istration of voters in Clarke county. This
is a measure that the Banner-Watch
man has long urged, and its good results
are almost incalculable. This one bill
will be a monument to Mr. Russell, and
by securing iU passage he has faithfully
and fearlessly represented the wishes of
the honest and intelligeht Voters of the
county and the best interests of his sec
tion. It is a universally acknowledged
fact that politics in Clarke county are
recking with corruption, and any step
tending toward their purification will be
hailed as a blessing. We know of no
public measure calculated to do more
toward this great object than a registra
tion law. It will slowly but surely pnt
a stop on the pernicious and infamous
practice of buying and selling votes, and
gradually retire from business those
suffrage-barterers. Unless a man has
the patriotism to pay his own taxes, he
will not be permitted, on the. day of an
election, to to sell his vote to some can
didate who will bear -that bnrthen for
him. The tax-books will have closed
before that time, and unless a man’s
name appears on the published registra
tion list, his ballot will not be received.
And again. A registration law does
away, to a great measure, with illegal
votes, and will thus save our county and
tax-payers a great trouble and expense.
In truth, the passage of that registration
law for Clarke county is a great stride
toward political reform and the purifica
tion of the bailot-box, and wo confident
ly look to see the stigma removed frdm
our county that this open buying and
selling of votes has fixed on it. We
trust that Gov. Gordon will lose no time
in making ibis bill a law. On his re
turn home, Mr. Russell will find himself
greeted by a well-pleased constituency,
and accoided that* highest of all praise,
"Well done, thou good and faithful ser
vant!”
We learn from reliable authority that
Got. Gordon and Dr. Felton have had a
long and friendly interview and shaken
hands across the political cha-m. This
is a mighty good year for a love-feast
among all the democrats of Georgia.

Richmond, Dec., 19.—Cluverius bav

found him looking very well, indeed, and
while not expecting any escape from his
impending fate, seemed to bear himself
with resignation. He was communica
tive and answered every quesion, and
from the prisoner's standpoint, Tery sat
isfactorily. He declared that he had no
hesitation in telling anything he knew of
the case. Ho maintained that Lillian
Madison committed suicide. In his opin
ion she started from the hotel at 6 o’clock
and never returned. He reguarded this
views as borne out by the recent devel
opments of “the old man” (iDu'W. H,
Chiles).
Cluverius thinks that Tyler confused
two different nights; the “old man,” so-
called, and lady were seen by Tyler on
the twelfth (which is Chile’s date), and
that the lady that Chiles brought to the
American lias been confounded with Lil-

The double line of foot-prints seen by
the witnesses for the Commonwealth on
the ditch-bank between the hole in the
fence and the embankment he attributed
to the feet of the people exploring the
locality for the tracks of the supposed
man and woman.
Cluverius expressed the opinion that
deceased came here to be confined or to
have an operation performed upon her,
HE IS A SMOKER.
When tbe Coroner went in Cluverius’
room the prisoner was smoking. During
the conversation Cluverius asserted that
he had been grievously misrepresented
on this subject; that at the Coroner’s
inquest when he was suddenly brought
into a close room filled wiih tobacco
smoke, to confront the witnesses, he
said not that he did not smoke—but that
the smoke was stifling—that it was very
disagreeable. He told tho coroner that
he smoked two cigarettes when he was
coming up to Richmond with the police
man, and that now smoking is a great so
lace to him, and he also finds much com
fort in reading.
RESIGNED.
“You have played your last card
haven't you," said the Tisitor. “Yes. un
less something that I can’t foresee oc
curs,” he answered. He declared that
he had full hope that hereafter his inno
cence would appear. He also made use
of tho expression that he had rather be
condemned with, a clear conscience than
to be acquitted if he were guilty.
Coming away from the jail Willie
Cluverius (who was present at the inter
view) remarked: “Of course everybody
expects me to say that I believe my bro
ther it innocent; but it is really the case.
Each time I see him I come away more
and more convinced of his innocence.

On Saturday the Republicans of the
- House, aided by Hon. Samuel J. Randall
and 24 democrats, defeated the motion!
made by Mr. Morrison ,to take up the]
tariff bill. The motion was made strictly
in the interest* of reforming the revenue
of the country; of cutting down the high
War tax, of abolishing the extortions and
exactions of tho sy atom,-and of levelling
the aehe-J-'ft of monopolies, which has
- pressed harshly upon tho beat intsrests
of the people. It was a triumph of Ran-
dallism and of Republicanism; s square-
out defeat of the Democratic party,
{fledged to the interests of reform.

| Surances of three daily papers that GeorJ
f gia-would follow tho lead of Mr; Haa-

cotton has boen Urge even in an unpro-
pitious year. The presence ef ample and
attractive water power, the' number of

ample evidences of mineral - wealth, are
enough to pUce Jackson county in a
front rank in the material progress of the
state. v. V Nf? I

He further supposes that Lillian in
leaving the hotel about 6 o’clock, may
perhaps, have gone by the Free bridge
end there thrown her bundle- into the
river, and thence proceeded up town and
left her shawl on Dustin’s fence.
' Cluverius considers that unless Lillian
went to the reservoir at some early pe
riod of th* evening she never could have
found her way to the hole in the res
ervoir fence. He remarked that a trip
with any one through that region would
have . suggested foul play to her at
every step* and that she would not have
accompanied any one to the top of the
embankment. Cluverius claims that he
could not have disposed of her body as
alleged; and that perhaps in a struggle
■he could h.ve mastered him. He said,
also, that no one would carry a person he
intended to murder up to an elevated
spot—such as the top of the embank
ment—where her voice could be heard
far around.

bitter ■ -feeling ■ against • the order
among the farmers. Some of the state
papers are denouncing the movement in
tbe strongest terms. W. P. Russell,
State Oaganizer of the Knights of Labor,
in answering the newspaper comments, is
bitter. He says: “In your ignorance
you may think that the mechanics and
laborers in the rural districtsof South
Carolina are to be used as lazy,‘intolerent
men in these districts choose to dictate;
that they are not freemen and shall
work for what you may choose to allow
them.” Some papers advise farmers to
“spot” all white men like Russell en
deavoring to organize negro Knights of
Labor and to drive them from the neigh
borhood. These journals have adiised
that the Legislature should appropriate
money for the maintenance of militia, as
well equipped soldiers will be needed if
this organization goes on.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
This the Legislature ' has done, and
to furthnr protect the farmers
against the organization of the colored
people living on their plantations the
Senate has passed by a large maj
and the House will doubtless make it a
law, a bill providing that “it shall be
deemed conspiracy, and shall be a mis
demeanor for any persons united, organ
ized, associated or banded together in
any other way, with pnj contract be
tween any employer and any em
whether snch contract be verbal or in
writing, or to permit any person for
them or in their name, or on their behalf
of such onion, association, organization
or band, to interfere with, employer or
employe, whether the contract he verbal
or in writing, for wages or for any other
consideration, to prevent the execution
of such contract, and each and every
one convicted of this offense shall be
punished by imprisonment for not less
than six month, or fined not less than (200,
or be both fined and imprisoned. Each
of such contracts interferred with as
above described shall constitute a sepa
rate and distinct offense here. The pos
sibility of a strike at the cotton picking
time, when the whole crop oft tbe State
