THE ATHENS BANNED TUF^1>AY MoftNlNUr, JULY Uim.
NOMINATE ACANDIDATE.
An election must soon be ‘held to
elect a successor of the late Mr.
Charlie Vincent as Clerk of Court.
Let us urge upon Dr. Lyndon the
importance of koldiug a primary
election at once, as we never want to
see another disgraceful and demor»
alizing scramble for office. It will
destroy the great work we .<ave al
ready done. Let us by all means
hold a primary to nominate Mr. Vin
cent’s successor.
NORTHERN BORN CITIZENS-
At the convention of Northern-
born citizens who have settled* in
Georgia, held at Douglasville, the
following resolutions were passed :
Whereas, it has been a privilege
vouchsafed to all citizens of these
United States of America, to enjoy
freely and fully the advantages of
citizenship in any part of this Union
which may seem to us to offer the
greatest inducements to the pursuit
of happiness and wealth and general
prosperity for our future ; and feel
ir.g that we have found beneath these
glorious Southern skies a field where
we may labor shoulder to shoulder
with our brethren to the manor born
in developing a section of our com
nion country and bring into world
wide competition the untold wealth
yet hidden in the rock’ ribbed moun
tains, the virgin forests and fertile
valleys of this grand section of our
adopted homes, and hoping that
through our influence much may be
done to spread through what has
heretofore been called the two sec
tions of this great republic such
perfect knowledge of each other as to
unite forever a common people, and
blot out lorever any prejudice that
may exist in the hearts of the peo«
pie of any state ot this nation against
any sister stale. To this end, we,
the people from the North now resi
dents of Georgia, the banner State
of the South, hope that while State
pride and sectional attachment are
natural passions ot the human breast
and are so near akin to patriotism as
to be distinguished fiom it only in
the court of a higher reason, to bring
citizens of every State with us to a
nobler love of country that risPs
above all places and sections, that
knows no county, no state, no north,
no south, no east, no west, but only
native land, that claims no mountain
slope, that clings to no river bank,
that worships no range of hills, but
lifts the aspiring eye to a continent
redeemed from barbarism by com
mon sacrifice and made sacred by
the shedding cf kindred blood. Such
a patriotism is the cable and sheet
anchor of our hope. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, natives of the
northern states oi this Union, now
residents of the State of Georgia
here assembled, do return our heart
felt thanks to the Southern people
for the real kindness and courtesy
received at their hands, and that we
are sincerely glad to be identified
with them in the up building of one
of the greatest commonwealths of
this Union.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to do all in our power to diff use the
truth regarding the social, polilical,
and temporal condition of this state
and the South generally, that the
people of the diil'erent sections of
this nation will come to know each
other and have faith in their well-
meaning, and also to refute the un
truths told of this section by un
principled politicians or uninformed
tourists.
THE POLITICIANS VS- THE PEOPLE.
Hon. Tom Hardeman is the can
didate of the politicians, and was
brought out by the enemies of the
farmers. He began his fight in
Gwinnett county by attacking the
Alliance and the Sub-Treasury bill,
but received from the patriotic vo
ters of that county a rebuke that
should have taught so old and wily
politician a lesson.
Col. Hardeman is a polilical Rip
Van Winkle. While sleeping in a
fat berth in the Macon post office he
did not know the changes that were
taking place in the politics of Geor
gia. Col. Hardeman could not be
lieve that the old rulers and bosses
around the towns and cities—that
had so long kept the farmers lashed
into subjection—had been displaced,
and a new generation sprung into
power. So, like the hero of Sleepy
Hollow, when Col. Hardeman woke
up to find his occupation gone, with
his time-honored custom the old man
lost not an hour in seeking another
soft place. And when he heard the
applauding shouts of the old ring-
sters and rulers, he heeded their
counsel and announced his candida
cy for Gubernatorial honors—a place
on which he has cast a longing eye
for lo these many years.
But the old man soon had his eyes
opened. Like Rip, he was mystified
to learn that Georgia was no longer
ruled by a political ring, but that
the honest yeomanry of the laud had
overthrown the dictators and estab
lished a new power. The result of
the primary in Gwinnett county—
j the Concord of Georgia Alliancemeu
1 —convinced him of the fact that the
people were no longer under the
domination of bosses.
Northen is the people’s candidate,
and when the last ballot is counted
Hardeman won’t know that he was a
candidate.
So the best thing he can do is to
accept the inevitable, and not be be
guiled into making a race that he
has no possible chance of winning,
just to gratify a class of men whose
only ambition and desire is to crush
out of existence the Farmer’s Alii-.
ance.
A WORD OF WARNINC.
The congressional slate now seems
to stand: Lawson-- Putnam,Greene,
Hancock, Morgan. Colley—Wilkes,
Elbert, Madison, Clarke, Oconee.
Olive—Oglethorpe. Hart will prob
ably go for Lawson and Franklin for
Colley. If Mr. Broughton enters the
race lie will stand a better chance for
the nomination than any of the can
didates. If there is a tie in the
convention, and no other candidate
enters, there is danger of an enemy
to the Alliance and a strong anti-
Sub-Treasury man receiving the
nomination. Let the farmers send
as delegates to the congressional
convention men from their own ranks,
who will not sell them out or be
tray their interests. A serious dan
ger now threatens the Alliance in
this district. There is a wolf in
sheep’s clothing among you. More
anon.
It don’t seem that Col. Tom Hars
deuian’s candidacy was such a great |
thing for the State as certain poli-*
ticians predicted.
A BIG DEAL.
HAS THE C.. S. & F. PURCHASED
THE C. & M?
Candidate Tom Hardeman says it
is a dangerous thing for the Alliance
to attempt to control politics in
Georgia. We would like to ask if it |
is not a more dangerous thing for
two brothers to control the business
and finances of a great Slate ?
A Rumor to That Effect Started In
Athens—What the Effect of the
Combination Would be—Substantial
Confirmation.
Candidtae Olive started out by
pronouncing the Sub-Treasury bill I
an uncertain medicine, and wanted ]
to prescribe for the Alliance “some- I
thing else.’’ He is now swallowing
the entire dose, without making a |
wry face.
FIRST VICTORY FOR THE ALLIANCE
The Farmer’s Alliance and the
Sub-Treasury bill scored their first
and a most decisive victory, too, in
Gwinnett county, on Saturday last,
in a straight-out fight.
Hon. Tom Hardeman made his
fight on the Alliance and their bill,
and drew the lines on Col. Northen.
The farmer’s candidate accepted the
gauntlet and won, by an overwhelm
ing majority, a great battle—defeat
ing Hardeman aud the interests that
he represents most overwhelmingly
This i9 but a foretaste of what is
in store for those candidates who
have arrayed themselves agaiust the
people, and on the side of trusts and
monopolists. When the day of final
account rolls around, they will be
swept out of existence. Col. Harde
man will find that the Alliance of
Gwinnett county is but the opetdug
shot of the greatest campaign ever
fought in Georgia.

STATE ROAD LEASE.
SubsTreasury seems to be a bigger
man in Georgia than Tom Harde
man.
The Douglasville New South, in
speaking of Standing Candidate
Hardeman’s Gwinnett speech, says :
“Although Hardeman had joined
the Alliance a little before entering
the race, bis speech was a regular
tirade against that order—reflecting
upon the men who compose it as
wanting in fealty to the democratic
party, and charging them with an
effort to split the party, or establish
a new one. Northen defended him
self and the order against these
charges. The people spoke at the
ballot box, and the result is seen.
“If Col. Hardeman ever had any
showing, he killed himself as dead as
a mackerel by his first Bpeech. By
the time a few more counties act, he
will doubtless see his mistake and
abandon the field.
COL. TOM HARDEMAN’S REWARD.
Every time Hon. Tom Hardeman
runs for office—and he has had a
grip on the public teat as long as we
can remember--be starts out with
that old whine about hi9 loyalty to
and work for the democratic party-
We would like to ask the gentleman
if he has not been paid one hundred
cents on the dollar with compound
interest, for every vote he has cast
or speech made ? If he has eaten a
piece of bread since the war that
was not paid for with the taxes of
the people, we are ignorant of the
fact. The goal of his life seemed to
be to hold office, and he has pursued
this object with a most persistent
tenacity.
Col. Hardeman does himself an
injustice in making such a pyro
technic display of hi9 democracy.
But for the high character of the old
gentleman, the public might be led
to the conclusion that be is a demo
crat for revenue only. J09I1 Billings
says, “ Beware of the man who is
always tooling his own horn”—and
Candidate Hardeman is one ot the
most persistent tooters of the Harde
man horn we ever knew.
There are thousands of other men
in Georgia who have worked just as
hard tor our party as did Col. Tom
Hardeman, and yet they neither ask
ed nor received office. If you examine
the pay-roll, you will see that the
Hardeman family, since the war,
have drawn more money than per
haps any ten families in Georgia
And yet they are not satisfied, but
now demand that the people of Geor
gia turn over to them the united
power and finances of our State.
We are sick and tired of seeing
a few men claiming all the praise
and reaping all the reward. There
should be a more equal division ot
the public gifts.
Didn’t Lite old ringsters and town
politicians “hear something drop in
Gwinnett V”
A certain candidate has -Jack in
his hand, but it will be caught with
‘High” before the campaign is over.
Mr. Olive would have made a much
better success as an acrobat in the
circus ring than as a congressman.
The vault he re< entiy made from a
vague and indefinite committal on
the “ Sub-Treasury pi.au” to the
back of the Sub-Treasury bill would
have brought down any house. Bat
ff the gentleman attempts to leap
from the back of a bitter enemy of
the Alliance, in Washington City, to
9 place in the confidence of the far*
mere, be will likely find himself
ifloiujdertng somewhere in Tar River.
The Allianceroen of Georgia will
name and elect the next Governor,
There is no danger of the finances
of Georgia being turned over to one
family. Hardeman will not be the
next Governor. Paste this predic
tion in your hat.
There is a report on the streets
that .a trade has recently been made
—with a bitter enemy of the Alii
ance at its head—by which a com
bination has been formed to manip
ulate the congressional delegations
in this district in the interest of
man who could not possibly secure
the office if be came before the peo
ple. We shall keep »n eye on this
crowd, and hope, before the cam
paign is over, to be able to expose
the whole plot.

Three cheers and a tiger for Gwin
nett county ! She gave Allen D.
Candler a majority of 777 over Speer,
and has now* snowed under Standing
Candidate Hardeman by a vote that
is too big to count. The first battle
of the Revolution was fought at
Coucord, but the first battle and vic
tory for the Alliance was fought in
Gwinnett. There are 32 other coun
ties in this section that will follow
the example of the patriotic farmers
of Gwinnett.
There are two classes of candidates,
both equally dangerous—one fight
ing the interests of the people, and
the other ready to make any prom
ises or swallow any dose to capture
votes.

It is expected that both the Terminal

and that has been die desire of the Ter

A decided sensation!
Has the Georgia, Southern and Flor
ida purchased the Covington & Macon <
Truly, it looks like it.
Such was unearthed by a Banner re
porter yesterday.
For several months it has been gen
erally known that the Covington & Ma
con were negotiating some deal, and it
was generally believed that it intended
selling to the Georgia, Carolina &
Northern, and Athens had been anx
iously and quietly awaiting the confir
mation of the deal.
Our city has been particularly anx
ious to see the C. & M. purchased by her
new trunk line, as it would give her
better chances to secure the shops of the
G., C. & N. Then, too, the two new
roads would mutually work for the up
building of the city at which they meet.
While this latter dream is still proba
ble—or thought to be so—there wifi be
under all circumstances a great South
ern connection to the road, and possibly
one that will be of enormous benefit to
the city. In fact it is now rumored
that the Georgia, Carolina & Northern
will purchase both the C. & M. and the
G., S. & F., and run one extended trunk
line, w ith through sleepers from the
East to Jacksonville, Florida, via Ath
ens.
• It is generally known that these three
lines are feeders to each other, and mut
ually dependent. They have every in
terest in consolidating, and are rivals
in no sense of the word.'
“While it lias done splendidly—in
fact, better than the officers expected,”
said a prominent railroad man yester
day, “the fact cannot be disputed that
the C. & M. is bottled up to an extent,
and that it would be greatly to its ad
vantage to consolidate with some good
connecting road.
“The officers have realized this fact,
and have been negotiating with railroad
magnates for a long time, aud 1 believe
not without un object.
“They have met several times the au
thorities of the G., C. & N. at Athens,
aud a few weeks ago carried them 011 a
special excursion to Macon. They
have been negotiating with the author
ities of the G., S. A F. on the other end
of the line iu the same manner. And
who knows but that the recent trip to
Macon was the climax of the whole af
fair—that the three companies met, and
completed the arrangements.”
A few days ago it was given out that
tiie C. & M. would not establish shops
in Athens, as intended, but would con
solidate their plant with that of the
Georgia, Southern & Florida at Macon.
This seems a pointer, and the first an
nouncement of the consolidation.
Simultaneously with this announce-
meutcame the schedules of the G., S. A
F. by that road in Lite Athens papers.
There must be some affinity of inter
est between them, or they certainly
would not so connect their business. ‘
It is equally certain, that whatever
the authorities of the Covington and
Macon are doing, they are using every
endeavor to keep it quiet, and from the
public, until they arc prepared to an
nounce the entire move.
What effect these changes will have
on Athens is a subject of much interest.
It cannot fail to give us many advan
tages over other poiuts.

Whitehead, Chas. T. Whitehead, Jas.
T. Streetman, white, and Boh Gritt'eth,
colored.
They submitted to arrest very quiet
ly, being taken by surprise by officer
Miller and posse, but loudly protested
their innocence.
The evidence against the prisoners in
jail is all circumstantial. It is claimed
that the Whitehead brothers did the
shooting, the negro gave the approach
of Mr. Ware, and Streetman was
spectator of the terrible tragedy.
They will have a committal trial be
fore Justice Murray tiiis morning, and
all the evidence in the case wifi be
brought out.
If guilty they should pay the penalty
with death, if not, they should go scot
free.
Let the law take its course and do
not act hasty in the matter.—Oconee
