THE BANNER STANDS BY ITS FRIENDS.
The Banner editor is well satis*
lied wiLh bis position and work in
the Senatorial contest. We went to
Atlanta to stand by the Alliance and
defend the platform an** principles
of that organization, tve sought
neither reward or applause. When
Mr. Pet Calhoun’s name was pro*
posed as a candidale for the U S
Sena e, we used every means in our
power to prevent the Alliance mem*
hers of the legislature nominating
him, for we felt assured that the
farmers would not endorse him
Every member of the General As
sembly knows that for six days we
labored hard, advising and urging
the Alliance representatives not to
centre on Mr. Calhoun as their
standard-bearer, as it meant a sure
defeat. We told them that the far
mers had won the greatest political
victory in the annals of our State,
and for them now to select Mr. CaU
h un as their candidate, would be
to throw it away. The representa
tives from this section stood by us
to a man in our opposition to bis
nomination.
On our return from Gainesville,
we learned that a caucus of the Alli
ance members and a few anti-Gor
don men bad met and nominated
Mr. Calhoun. We knew from that
hour that the Alliance was defealed.
We refused to support Mr. Calhoun
until we bad a conference with fif
teen or twenty true and incorrupti
ble Alliancemen from various secs
tions of Georgia, who bad united
with us in our opposition to Mr.
Calhoun. They argued that to sup
port him now was their only hope,
and begged us to st~rd by them.
We knew that these gentlemen had
no selfish ends to subserve, and were
solely actuated by an honest desire
to delend and maintain the princi
ples of their organization.
Had we sought only victory and
applause, it would have been to our
interest to refuse to support Mr. Cal
houn—which we could consistently
have done, as we opposed his nomi
nation from the first—and declared
that we would support Gov. Gordon
lor Senator in preference. In view
of the prominent position we took in
the campaign, we knew such a course
would have given us the applause
and gratitude of Gen. Gordon aud
his fiiends.
But we had opposed Gov. Gor
don’s election on the ground that he
repudiated the platform of the Alli
ance. aad was the candidate of the
combined enemies of that organiza
tion. While we might have been
excusable for taking such a position,
we felt that with Mf. Calhoun as a
rallying point for the ant'-Gordon
voters, something might yet turn up
to give our farmers the victory they
had so nobly won. In other words,
we preferred rather to share defeat
with our friends, than triumph with
those we had opposed.
Wesaw on the Gordon side, the
combined political influence of the
^ State, and the men who had so long
■ and bitterly fought the Alliance.
Opposing-bim were these honest and
true representatives of our agricul
tural community, who stood by their
principles and the people, like the
patriots that they are. While we
knew the selection of Mr. Calhoun
was an unfortunate one, at the same
time, he was the brainest youog
statesman in the South, and we knew
if ho was elected by Alliance votes
that he would stand by the farmers
to the end. Besides, at that time iu
was only Gordon and Calhonn to se
lect from—and no loyal Allianceman,
or lriend to the Alliance, conld sup
port Gov. "Gordon without giving
victory into the hands of their ene
mies.
When we enlisted in onr fight for
the Alliance, we intended to stand
by the farmers to the end, and share
with them alike their triumphs and
their defeats. The representatives
from seventeen counties in this secs
tion—where The Banner largely cir
culates—were with us to a man,
which is a confidence and endorse
ment that we indeed appreciate.
Onr position on Mr. Calboun’s
candidacy proved collect.
■■Mill
the vote he received was not a cor
rect lest of his strength, there is now
no doubt but his nomination elected
Gen. Gordon to the Senate, who only
triumphed by a majority of thrpe
votes in both bouses ; and had the
Alliance centred on another man—
not connected with railroads -there
is not a shadow of doubt of his
election.
In fact, in the face of the bitter
fight made against Mr. Calhoun, the
opposing vote to Gjn. Gordon was a
decisive victory foi the Alliance and
for The Athens Banner. Any cause
or paper that is backed by the far
mers of an entire section, and within
a mere fraction of one-half of the
entire S ate—when such a popular
and magnetic candidale as Geu Gnr
don was pitted against ii‘,and in
the face of the mis akes mad ] aud
blunders committed—it is nothing
ess thin a viev> r y 111 defeat.
We learn that certain enemies of
the editor of this paper iu Athens
are gloating over what they term the
repeattd political defeats he has met.
We have never lost any cause we
ever espoused in our paper, when
fought before the district or Slate,
except when opposing G :n. Gordon.
The Banner, while in our control,
was vanquished only once in Athens
and Clarke county, but with this
single exception, and wlieu we op
posed Gen. Gordon for Governor and
the Senate, we have met with an un
broken record of political successes,
as the records of every election we
have engaged in will show.
But victory and applause are of
secondary importance to us, when
combatted by principles and right.
We have taken our aland with the
fanners on the Alliance ship, and
will triumph or go dowti with it. If
this Senatorial battle was to he
fought over again, w& would not
swerve from the course we have
taken. We have done all that mor»
tal man could to uphold the prinei
pies of this organization, and w hen
the Alliancemen of Georgia need our
services or our pen again, they know
whereto find us. We feel that, we
have earned, and know that we re
tain, their respect and confidence.
We refused to sacrifice their inter
ests or principles for self-glorifica
tion, and met defeat in the last ditch
and with flying colors.
of that wise,pure and emineut states
man, Governor W. J Northen.
They intend to place agriculture
on a firm footing in the State ; they
will pass no ciass legislation ; they
will lift the common school system
to a deceot grade, and redeem the
.State from the thraldom of illiteracy.
Truly, Georgia has a legislature
of which she may weil be proud.
Disgruntled politicians and blatant
fanatics may grovy! because the Far
mers’ Alliance hold the reins, hut
the great heart of the people beats in
sympathy with them.
If, in the Providence of G >d, they
shall dispel the dense blackness4>f
Uitefacy which shrouds our State,
and sound the march of progress by
ilaolingu school bouse on every hill
top ; if they shall work out iu their

which, carried into etiect, will ele

hen, indeed, will the people return

upon their eais will fall the welcome

Nominated.
DESPERATE EFFORTS TO RECOV
ER THE LOST GROUND.
OUR GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The General Assembly of tbe
State of Georgia, nowin session at
the Capital City, is one of the ablest
bodies that ever legislated on the
public affairs of the State
Iu many respects its composition
i9 of a very different nature from
that of its predecessors Tne far
mers, a class hitherto unrepresented
in its ranks, are now holding the
reins and directing the law-making
body of tbe State. To this course of
events no ooecan enter a proper dis
senting voice, or say, that the honest,
'toiling tillers of the soil should not
have the representation they dow
enjoy.
The best laws are those which
originate with the people ; the most
necessary reforms are those which
arise from the actual needs of the
myriads of bread-winners ; the most
effective statutes upon the law book
are those which receive their en
forcement through a contented peo
ple.
The change has taken place rapid
ly. A few months since and the far
ming classes were confronted with
the jute trust, and knew that their
only motto was “conquer or die.”
They did not die and they surety
conquered. Emboldened by success,
the Farmers’ Alliance, gathering in
to its ranks tbe oppressed farmers of
a great nation, has swept tbe conti
nent with its doctrines of reform,and
heralds the coming of a brighter and
better day.
Thus we see in onr General As-
•*
sembly a large majority of Alliance-
men,’who go there, not to oppress
any class, bat to give relief at least
to those who deserve it most. The
business of any man, it is legiti
mate and lawful, is safe in their
bands, and no harsh legislation will
lesult from any ol their delibera
tions. They may not all be college
graduates—they may not be skilled
in the law—they may not have large
bank accounts at their backs‘/but
they have integrity, honesty, and a
determination to do justice to all
which will make the present session
of the legislature a shining mark m
Georgia for years to come.
, In tbe words of Hon. W. J. Morton,
the distinguished representative from
Clarke, “It is a grand body.”
One needs but look over tbe amount
of work already-done by the General
Assembly to be convinced that it is
composed of the very best of men,
and that they are determined to do
their duty and do it well. They are
already carrying into| effect some ol
tbe intensely practical suggestions McEiree’. wineofcarpu
THE SENATORIAL RACE-
It will lake a prophet^o lull who
will succeed Senator Brown. Tne
Alliance had Gov. Gordon crushing-
ly defeated, anil this fact even his
friends acknowledge" but there were
so many con 11 cling opinions as to
who the opposition should centre
u|>on, that a reign of discord ensued
at every caucus. The shrewd poli*
tician9 engineering the Gordon cam
paign availed themselves of this di
vision, and did all and everything in
their power to widen the breach.
Finally, Mr. Fa . Gdhoun was cen
tred upon as the Alliance nominee.
No one can truthfully chaige unfaits
ness in his selection, for the caucus
meeting had been thoroughly adver
tised* and every representative gWeu
aji opportunity to go therein and ex
press his choice. If a member vol
untarily ahseuted himself and per
mitted a minority to name the can
didate, be had only himself to blame.
But there were in that caucus some
of the leading aud most devoted
members of tbe Alliance, and their
support of the ticket selected, should
prove to the members failing to par
ticipate that there wa9 neither wrong
or corruption in the assembly, and
that in accepting Mr. Calhoun as the
standard-bearer of their organiza
tion, that they had an eye single only
to the success of tbe Alliance. No
one dares charge J E. Nunnally, A.
F. Fope and others from our imme
diate section that we might name,
with being prompted by aught but
tbe best and purest motives.
In truth, there ate members in our
legislature, who were elected as Alii-
ancemen and by ant.DGordon voresi
who weie anxious for an excuse to
violate the wishes or instructions of
their constituents. While they did
not at first proclaim for G irdon, by
absenting themselves from ail cau
cuses, thus preventing a full and free
expression of the wishes of the Alli
ance members, tbey stood in tbe way
of a nomination. These members
fell ao easy prey to the politicians,
and many of them were captured for
Gordon.
But there is still among the Alli
ance a deep .sealed opposition to the
ignominious surrender of their prins
ciples—as the election of G >v. Gor
don will insure—and we have an
abiding faith that the Alliance will
at last triumph, and their enemies
meet with defeat.
Mr. Pat. Calhoun’s friends confi
dently claim that he has enough
votes to elect him. One thing is
certain—the G-ordon men are still
badly trightened, and ere working
like beavers—clearly proving that
they have not as yet enough votes
promised to whip the fight.
We do not believe that there will
be any election on the first ballot;
and if Gordon fails to poll a majority
of the votes to-day his defeat is as
sured.
If every Allianceman in Georgia
could visit Atlanta to watch the pro
gress of the fight—as The Banner
editor is doing—and see how all of
their old enemies and slanderers are
working for Gordon, they would not
hesitate one instant in uniting on
Mr. Pat. Calhoun.
There is a strange similarity between
the pitched battle fought by the Alli
ance of Georgia, and the struggle of the
adherents of King James in the High
lands of Scotland. It will be remem
ber'd t;iat the raw and unt ained
troops, under tbe gallant Dundee, met
and overcome, in the pass of K lli-
kraikie, Murray’s well disciplined
army. The victory was complete and
overwhelming, and all that the victors
I needed was to iu,.rch forward and seize
the fortresses that were keys to tbe
Highlands. But in the fight Dundee
had fallen, and they were without a
bead ora leader. Saltish and venal men
assumed command of the army, anti dis
sensions aro-e. From the passofKilli-
krankie the Highlanders had retired,
nr. ud of their victory, and laden with
spoils, to Bluir Gastle. Exactly four
weeks after the Gallic army had won
the battle of Khlikrattkie, that army
ceased to exist. It ceased to exist, not
hy natural dissolution, hut by the effect
of interne! malformation. All the
fruits of the victory were gathered by
the vanquished.
Col. Norwood’s Candidacy.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.—[Special.]—
Hon. T. M. Norwood lias bolted the Al
liance caucus, and is now a full-ffedged
candidate for .the U. S. Senate. That
Col. Norwood is one of tbe bungrest
men in Georgia—with perhaps tbe ex
ception of Dr. Felton—his present
course dearly shows. He will not poll
over ten votes, and all of them he takes
from Mr. Calhoun. The only result of
his candidacy will be to strengthen Gov.
Gordon, and help that gentleman to a
vindication from the charges Col. Nun
nally made against hiui in bis letter,and
which both agreed to leave to the peo
ple of Georgia to answer. It is the first
instance wo have ever known ,of a man
voluntarily and deliberately assisted in
bis own defeat.

It was thus with tne Alliance army
in Georgia The untrained farmers
w'ere pitted in a political contest against
tbe greatest intellects, tbe shrewdest
politicians and' tbe combined wealth
and power of our State. But these val-
liant soldiers, taken I rom between tbe
the. piow-hamiles, met and overcame
their powerful and combined ehem : es.
They adopted the Sub-Treasury bill as
♦.heir war-cry, and on this issue elected
a majority of our congressmen and
three-fourths of the representatives in
the legislature. Gen. John B. Gordon
had repudiated the olatform of tuu Al
liance, and it was recognized as a sacri
fice of the Alliance principles to have
elected him to the Senate.
But what is the result? Atfer this
great battle bad been won by tbe yeO-
maury of our land—aud all* that tbey
had to do was to march forward and
reap the fruits of their victory, by elect
ing a U. S. Senator in full accord and
sympathy with their platform-they
permitted the agents of their enemies to
invade their ranks, sow the seeds of
discord and dissension, and thus render
the Alliance an easy prey to the foes of
the order. So this organization of our
farmers was defeated—!ite the High
landers after Killikrankie—not on ac
count of natural dissolution, hut 011 ac
count of internal malformation.
***
1 reached Atiaiua on the eve of the
meeting of the legislature, and found
that all the Alliance leaders and officers
had united on Mr. Fat Calhoun as their
candidate to tile Seuate. 1 saw that
such a Selection would be fatal to the
success of the organization, ami would
result in the election of Gen. Gordon.
1 explained this matter to the gentle
men who were at the head of this move
ment, and begged and plead with tnem
to centre on some one else. Failing to
to convince them of the suicidal policy of
Mr. Calhoun’s nomination, 1 set to work
and soon had enough Alliance repre
sentatives committed against Mr. Cal
houn to prevent his nouiination by a
caucus. 1 took the stand against Mr.
Calhoun with great reluctance, for he
is my personal friend, and 1 bad every
conffdence in bis honor and loyalty to
the Alliance principles; but 1 knew it
would be impossible to get the farmers
to unite on him, and it would be a suici
dal step for the Alliance, and a sure de
feat for their candidate, should Mr. Cal
houn be nominated.
I attended the fair at Gainesville, and
on my return to Atlanta, learned with
surprise that Mr. Calhoun had been
nominated as tbe Alliance candidate | Resolvent,
lor senator. There were fifteen anti- 10 111 - v own
Calhoun men at the Gainesville fair,
who reached the city with me just after
the caucus was held- From that hour
1 lost all hope of defeating Gov. Gordon,
aud felt that our Alliance leaders had
given into hands of the enemy the grand
est political victory ever won in Geor
gia. L was heart-siek and deeply griev
ed. I went to Mr. Calhoun’s room at
orice, that was filled with his congratu
lating friends. 1 refused to commit my
self to the support of the caucus nomi
nee until I had c uiversed with Alliance
representatives, who I knew had the
good of the order at heart, and were
with me in opposing the nomination of
Mr. Calhoun. These gentlemen, like
myself, felt that a serious, if not fatal
mistake had been made; but tbey beg
ged me not to desert them, as the con
test was now l etwoen Gordon and Cal
houn, and to oppose the latter would be
to desert the principles of the Alliance.
1 then voluntarily went to Mr. Calhoun
and told him I would do all in my power
to secure bis election—which promise I
faithfully kept.
#**
There were in tbe legislature 122
members who cam* determined not to
support Geu. Gordon for the senate.
These could have been easily concen
trated on any good man whom they
thought their people would endorse.
My suggestion was, that ui the event of
failing to make a nomination to secure
committals against Gordon to prevent
bis election, and then turn them loose
to select any candidate on whom they
could unite. This wac agreed to, and
when I left Atlanta for Gainesville, I
thought it would be carried out. Sev
eral of General Gordon’s closest friends
and best workers told me that the Alli
ance bad him defeated, and but for the
nomination of Mr. Pat Calhoun 'there
was no possible chance for him. There
is no doubt but that the determi
nation of the Alliance leaders to
force Mr. Calboun’s nomination lost
their organization the senator, and has
created a serious rupture.
While l was constantly in otie of Mr.
Calhouii’s rooms, 1 did not invade his
secret caucus, as l did not know what
would be the turn of affairs, and wanted
to be in a position to take advantage of
them for the Alliance, without betray
ing conffdence. The night before the
election Mr. Calhoun and his friends
acknowledged their defeat. It was then
lhat Col. W. A Huff’, a few other gen
tlemen and myself, determined to make
our last dftort to save the victory for tbe
Alliance. We determined, on Tuesdav
morning, to place as many candidate®
in the field as possible, so as to draw the
Alliance Vote from . Gordon, aud pr -
vent an election on tbe first bailor..
This we did, and succeeded in our de
sign, but fertile change of the two re
publican votes, that elected Gen. Gor
don U. S. Senator. Hail an adjourn
ment been'made without an election,
Mr. Calhoun would have been xith-
drawn from the race, and a candidate
nominated on whom the Alliance wou.d
unite*
**’*
In spite of tbe serious mistakes and
wretched management of the campaign
011 the part of tbe Alliance leaders, Gen.
Gordon only carried both bouses by a
bare majority of three. lie well
knows that he owes his election to the
U. S. Senate not to his own strength, but
I«* the mismanagement of his adversa
ries. ' Had the Alliance a leader who
would have Sacrificed bis own personal
preferences for the goou and well-being
of the order, anil fought the campaign
on an equal footing with the Gordon
men, their cause would have triumphed
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
***
I do not want it understood that I
reflect, on Mi. Fat Calhoun because he
became a candidate for the Senate. He
has ptoved his friendship for the Alli
ance principles, and had he.been elected
would have made a Senator to whom the
entire Snitb could have pointed with
pride. But be was misled as to
tbe sentiments of the Alliance re
presentatives, by men who should
have known better. Did Mr Calhonn
wait a few years, until his people were
better educated in regard to the rela
tions bet een railroads and the citizens,
he could be elected to any office within
tlie gift of the voters of Georgia But
at this time, it was a fatal mistake 011
the part of Mr. Calhoun’s advisers, lo
thus nominate him for a position that it
was imposjble for him 10 attain, and
could only' result iu electing the men
opposed to Gen. Gordon.
***
The charge has been made that money
wat spent in this campaign. I saw no
evidences that such was the ease. Of one
tiling 1 atn assured—tbe Alliancemen
who came to the support of Mr. Calhoun
after liis nomination, are beyond sus
picion. They were actuated by the
purest and most honorable motives, and
did wh«t tbey thought was best for
their order and their principles. O11
tlm side of Gen. Gordon was arrayed all
influence and wealth. He was hacked
by all the banks and wealth of our stare
aud even tbe gentleman connected with
M* - . Calhoun in the West Point Termi
nal company were all for Gordon. But
we do not accuse Gen. Gordon’s friends
of using money to secure the election of
their candidate—for it has been our ob
servation, that the first man to suspicion
others of corruption are generally at
heart tbeuii-elves corrupt.
nxir<i4
This defeat for tbe Alliance—and that
it is a defeat for tbe order 110 one can
and wi!l deny who was in Atlanta mid
saw the elements and men that rallied
around the GorJon standard—must not
discourage or weaken-the members of
this organization. It should only nerve
you and strengthen your heart to renew
ed exertions. Stand only the firmer by
your platform and your principles, and
redouble your efforts to recover the po
sition you have lost hy this overthrow.
Your enemies will seek to use tin* elec
tion of Gen. Gordon to the Senate as an
entering Wedge to split the Alliance,
but let this not be done. Stand so
closely and firmly together that your
will cannot be separated. If yon find
unworthy members in your ranks, turn
them out. If the Sub-Treasury hill
is wrong today, it was wrong when you
were Amending it in your congressional
and State elections. But it is not wrong.
While the election of John B. Gordon
to the Senate defeats this bill so far as
Georgia is concerned, the Alliance still
lives, and its principles will eventually
triumph.
