VOLUME V.
MR. WHEAT’S TRIBUTE.
To the Editor of The Free Press: Uninflu
enced by any living soul, I voluntarily offer a
tribute of gratitude to a man who has been the
greatest benefactor to myself an 1 family that we
have met throughout our lives. I do this be
cause I see that an effort is being made by cer
tain persons to put him down and impair his
usefulness, which I honestly believe to be
greater than that of any other individual in
this country. I refer to Dr. F. W.-Memmler.
Fourteen years ago I lived in southwest Geor
gia, and there my trouble and the disease of my
dear wife first began. I had two good physi
cians there, whose efforts failing to restore her
health, they advised me to move to F'lorida. I
did so. She not only grew worse in Florida, hut
also lost her hearing in one year. My wife’s
health being my only object, I was advised to
move to a higher country. I did so, and .vent to
Columbia county, this state, employing
there the best medical skill, but without avail. I
caaried her back to her mother’s in southwes
tern Georgia. There I retained three of the best
physicians the oonntry afforded; but she still
grew worse. I then, by advice of these physi
cians, carried her to Sweetwater, Tenn. There
-she improved a little, under the treatment of a
good physician.
I then moved to Floyd county. She was some
lietter for three years, but not we’l. Two years
ago she was attacked by her old disease, in a
worse form than ever, and it grew worse aud
worse, under medical treatment, until the dis
ease culminated in the loss of her mind, and the
only comfort I got from physician or friends was
that I was advised to send her to the asylum.
My wife’s condition was such that she could not
est nor sleep except when I sat by her side and
cubbed her head. It seems that the rubbing
pneted her, but as soou as I would stop, she
would start up m wild confusion. God only
knows what I and she suffered. I prayed to God
for help, uiglit and day. I still refused to carry
oer to the asylum, but carried her to Middle
Georgia, consulting a physician in Thomson.
He advised me that she had dropsy aad to send
ner to the ajrlum. 1 still refused and called
her to a physician in Augusta, who said she had
1 humor iu the brain, and said her only fit place
waa in th* asylum. I still refused. 1 resorted
co opium, and she continued this uutil she could
eat enormous quantities of it, a handful even, at
1 time and still no sleep, except through com
plete-exhaustion, On the 24th day of December
last, I arrived in Cartersvillo. On the 2.511), Mrs.
Field advised me to take her to Dr. Memmler.
1 remarked to Mrs. Field that I had employed
loctors for many years and spent all my means
nearly in seeking relief for my wile, and waa
discouraged. She told me to go to Dr. Memmler,
that he had saved her life, and if he could help
,ny wife he would be candid with ire, aud tell
me so or not, as the case might be. Thanks to
God first ami to Mrs. Field next, I did so; and
the doctor was kind enough, after hearing the
story of our wo*s, not to charge me anything for
die examination. My wife at that time weighed
jut 72 pounds, and was worse in her health than
ever before, and often did not know her own
children. Tho doctor at once took the opium from
her, and took her in treatment. After three
day*, she was enabled to sleep soundly and
sweetly, without stimulants, aud asked how she
came to be at Dr. Memmler’s house, not recol
lecting even, when she came there, and aston
ished that her hearing was completely restored.
After tweuty-one days’ treatment, she gained
thirty-two pounds, aud Las improved wonder
fully ever since, aud there is evory reason to be
lieve that only a man who has suffered like I
have, standing at the bedside of his afflicted
wife, night after night, month after month aud
year after year, with no hope that she can be
rescued from the grave, or the asylum, is able to
shake my faith iu him, aud in his skill as a phy
sician. May God bless him and his good work,
and may the alflicted of our country, long have
the opportunity of availing themselves of his
wonderful skill. Mr. Editor, I desire to make
oath to tho truth of the above statement of facts
and do so volnutarily and gladly.
T. H. WHEAT.
Georgia, Bartow County—ln person came be
for me Thomas 11. Wheat, who being duly
sworn, says the above statement of facts in ref
erence to his wife’s case is true and not exag
gerated in the least. Sworn to and subscribed
before me this 24th of February, 1883.

WOMAN| H e f r r,e b n e d st
DR. J. BRADFI ELD,S
FEMALE REGULATOR.
This famous remedy most happily
meets the demand of the age for woman's
peculiar and multiform afflictions. It is a rema
dv for WOMAN ONLY, and for one special class
of her diseases. It is a specific for certain dis
eased conditions of the womb, and proposes to so
control the Menstrual Function as to regulate all
the derangements and irregularities of Woman’4
MONTHLY SICKNESS.
Its proprietor claims for it no other medical
property; and to doubt the fact that tide medi
cine does positively possess such controlling and
regulating powers is simply to discredit the vol
untary testimony of thousands of living wit
nesses, who are to-day exulting in their restora
tion to sound health and happiness.
BRADFI ELD'S
FEMALE PECULATOR
is strictly a vegetable compound, and is the pro
duct of medical science and practical experience
directed towards the benefit of
SUFFERINC WOMAN!
It is the studied prescription of a learned phy
sician, whose specialty was W OMAN, and whose
fame became enviable and boundless because of
his wonderful success m the treatment and cure
of female complaints. THE KEGL LA I’OR is
the grandest remedy known, and richly de
serves its name:
WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND,
Because it controls a class of functions, the va
rious derangemcets of which cause more ill
health thau all other cause more ill health than
all other causes combined, and thus rescues her
from a long tr in of affllictions, which sorely
embitter her life, and prematurely end her ex
istence. .... ....
Oh! what a multitude of living witnesses can
testify to its charming effects!
WOMAN! take to your confidence this
PRECIOUS BOON OF HEALTH !
It will relieve you of nearly all the com
plaints peculiar to vour sex. Rely upon it as
your safeguard lor'hdalth, happiness aud long

THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTENT.
A Strong Defense of Maj. A. O. Itueon
from Bartow County.
M.i' i m Telegraph and Mes-engcr.
Cartersvillk, Ga.* March 28, 1883.
The gubernatorial canvas* develop* new
features every day, and in tin* pu t of
Georgia there has been a wonderful revo
lution in feeling since the Boynton-Bul
lock letters saw daylight; through the
public press. Up to that time Mr. Boyn
ton waa favorably considered by persons
who do not make polities a business and
a profession, because there has been a
genera! indifference to the subject. The
making of cotton and corn is the engross
ing topic among farmers, shared by the
merchants who are so keenly interested
in the same, because thereby they expect
to live and prosper.
The appearance of the letters above
mentioned and the plain, undisputed
tacts that appear therein* has aroused the
dormant interest that always appear in
the bloody seventh siuce 1874, w henever
the Bullock democracy shows its cloven
foot. No section of the state is so thor
oughly posted on the devious tricks of
that shifty crowd, and it is safe to say
no part of Georgia has been more inter
ested with these trading politicians.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
has so clearly expounded these letters of
Mr. Boynton that it will he needless to
go over the ground again, but there i
one fact that seems to have escaped pub
lic attention, which ia drawing to Maj.
Bacon a hearty support in Cherokee
Georgia, among tlie best men in (lie
country, irrespective of party alliances.
I heard a most prominent independent
say a few days ago: “My sympathies are
with Bacon, because he has had the cour
age to antagonize the ring, and the
young men of Georgia must ally them
selves with the honest men of the state,
and tight official corruption by all hon
orable means, if we would restore lionest
methods in politics and redeem our good
name from the low estate to which it
has been dragged, by men who followed
republicanism while it paid them, apxl
who follow deuiocraej r now for the
reason.”
To give you an idea of current opinion,
the statement is made and good authority
given, that Major Bacon was in great
danger of violence, at the time he was
speaker of the house and appointed cer
tain committees to investigate the llag
rant corruption that was exposed in the
capitol during the stormy summer ses
sion of 1579. A member of the legisla
ture at that time told a most reliable
friend of mine that certain parties,
whose names were given, hut which we
withhold at present for obvious reasons,
approached Major Bacon in the year 1879
in a most blustering way, to provoke a
difficulty if possible, and used these
sneering words : “You consider yourself
the grand tycoon of these investiga
tion*.” The indications were not so fa
vorable for their designs when Major
Bacon made a most proper reply to these
crafty emissaries of certain exposed offi
cials, and they deferred their purpose for
that time, but it is well* enough to under
stand that the political foes of Maj. Ba
con at this time are the same partisan
tools who blocked the course ot justice
and balked righteous investigation in
1879, The men who then protected of
fenders were the strongest allies of the
Bullock democracy—and they owe an
undying grudge to Maj. Bacon, because
he did not extend his official aid to their
unrighteous schemes in this time of dis
graceful exposure and public condemna
tion.
The issue is plain. lie that runs may
see. The defeat of Maj. Bacon in the
approaching convention means the vic
tory of the element which fattened un
der Bullock, and which brought upon the
democratic party of Georgia a lord of
disgrace, from which it was only secured
temporarily by the courage of Major Ba
con and his patriotic compeers in that
notable legislature. A less faithful of
ficer would have arranged those investi
gating committees in another way, and
the people of Georgia owe him a debt of
gratitude for Ids unflinching integrity
that should he remembered now.
The fight is not for Boynton per se, or
lor any other man who is mentioned —it
is a contest to defeat Bacon. He did not
oiler to sell his political manhood, or
agree “to pursue a course that should
not be obnoxious” to the ring. He was
bold and aggressive in behalf of a suffer
ing commonwealth. He loved his coun
try aud obeyed his oath. He may rejoice
that he was the “Grand Tycoon” of in
vestigations, and should his forces he de
feated in a packed convention, there is
but one course open to the honest demo
crats of the state. The question involv
ed is a serious one, and there should be
no delay or compromise with the com
mercial traders who dictate nominations
and barter offices with unparalleled ef
frontry aud vindictive insolence.
There is nothing in the present contest
to defer the inevitable conflict between
these factions of the so-called democracy
of the state. The struggle is confined
simply and solely to the organization, and
if the fact appears that corrupt money
and official barter of offices has usurped
the place of justice in the approaching
convention, there should be no delay—
no hesitation. If the wedge of Achan’s
gold is to he forever concealed in the
camp, and thus entail continued disaster
and disgrace, there is but one remedy,
and the faithful men of Georgia should
wash their hands of the concern and
unite with every lover of his country,
irrespective ot party alliances, to over
turn the corrupt horde that pollute and
j defraud the politics of the state.
The Bullock democracy has floated a
black flag with piratical schemes in every
1 election since 1876. They have picked

to the front whenever the. chief give th e
signal, and unless the selection of a Can
didate *nr governor on the 24ih of April
can be carried in spite ot tiwir cilbrts ir
is useless to expect a victory hereafter—
by the use of delegates *t© a convention.
There never was a tine in the hwtory of
the state when so much depended upon
the result. There is no negro question
in this issue; and unless the right can |
prevail and show - its power the disinte
gration of the concern is inevitable. If
Mr. Boynton** platform wins, the state
has due notice that he will serve “the
men who put him In position;” and the I
danger that threatens ihe tax-payers of
the state calls for a more determined ef
fort than has ever been made heretofore. J

Past Honors lo T. O. Ilowe.
Kenosha, March 2S. —The town was
draped in mourning to-day, and on all
sides were evidences of deep sorrow for the
loss of the deceased post master-general.
A special train from Chicago, bearing
several hundred persons, among them
the Washington delegation, arrived at 2
o’clock. Secretaries Lincoln, Teller,
Chandler, and Frelinghnysen, acting
Postmaster-General Frank Hatton and a
delegation from the post office depart
ment composed the Washington party.
They brought a number of magnificent
floral offerings. The body was at the
residence of Col. J. 11. Howe, two miles
from the town. The hour set for the fu
neral services was 3 o’clock, but before
that time the remains mere borne by citi
zers of Kenosha, organized as an escort,
to the Unitarian church, where, in front
of the altar, they lay in state. The bust
of Mr. Howe was exposed to view, and
was gazed upon by a vast concourse cf
people. The decorations of the church
were simple and entirely composed of
flowers. The services were opened with
a chant by a Chicago quartet. This was
followed bj r the reading ot the Scriptures
by the Rev. 11. M. Simmons. After an
invocation by the Rev. Robert Collyer,
of New York, the hymn “Abide with
Me” was sung. The Rev. Mr. Simmons
reviewed the character of 31 r. Ilowe,
with whom he had been closely associ
ated for many years. The lines begin
ning, “O spirit, freed frem earth,” were
sting by the quartet, and the Rev. Robert
Collyer spoke on the hopes of immortali
ty, and the services were brought to a
close with singing by the quartet and the
benediction. The congregation then
viewed the remains after which the cover
was placed in position and the casket
given to the pa 11-bearers, who were Chief
Justice Cole, Gov. Rusk, Secretary Lin
coln, Secretary Teller, Horace Rublee,
Senator Sawyer, G. 11. Hatton, and Sen
ator Hill. Toe- remains were taken to
the depot and placed on the funeral
train, which left for Green llav at 1
o’clock. The services were exceedingly
simple, the relative* having requested
that there he no attempt at'fKsplay of
any kind. At Green Bay the body ill
lie in state at his late residence from 10
to 12 o’clook to-morrow, and at noon the
interment will take place.

Jiesalv ad, further , That in the event
the said sum is seemed by the 17th ot
April, the president shall immediately
convene the committee to prepare and
arrange the details for holding the fair.
So.it will be seen that the question of
holding the fair, yqfc depends upon what
the citizens of Macon. wH| say, and to
what extept they will < pen fheir pocket
books. There are those in the communi
ty, perfectly able to give, who are indif
ferent, because they say the fair will act
ually work detriment, while there are
others whose trade will he greatly bene
fited, who havedieen very stingy in the
matter of iN+ntrilmtion.,
We have no idea how it all will culmi
nate, but if Macon wants the fair, shejhas
only to put irp or shut. up.
The committee held another session
this afternooif, but as we go to press be
fore its adjournment, we are not able to
give any account of what transpired.
We were told the meeting was to be held
to transact business of trivial importance.
WHO SOUGHT OFFICE FROM BUL
LOCK.
The Atlanta co.resp mdent of the Au
gusta Chronicle say* that the following
gentlemen sought, and some of them ob
tained, office from Bullock. lie calls
them all democrats “unspotted and
pure,” but there is a good deal of hazi
ness, if no spots, about the democracy of
Judge Lochrane and C. J. Thornton, at
least. The list is probably not com
plete, and possibly it is not correct as to
every gentleman named :
“Some ot the host democrats sought to
lie appointed judges by Bullock, and
were recommended by other democrats
as well as republicans. Among these
were Judge lliram Warner, of the su
preme bench; Judge P, J. Strozier of
the Albany circuit.; J. D. Pope, O. A.
Lochrane and J. L. Hopkins, Judges,
Evan P. llowell,.solicitor of the Atlanta
circuit; H. C. Foster, solicitor, and
Judge Gibson, of Augusta circuit; Judge
X. B. Knight, Blue Ridge circuit; Judge
Win. M. Sessions, Brunswick circuit:
C. J. Thornton, solicitor Chattahoochee
circuit; C. E. Broyles, solicitor Cherc
kee circuit; William F. Wright, judye
Cowetcr circuit: William Schley, judge,
and A. B. Smith, solicitor of Eastern cir
cuit; Judge Flint circuit; C. B. Cole,
judge Macon circuit; Judge H. 1). D.
Twiggs, of Middle circuit; Garnett An
drews, judge Northern circuit; A. C*.
Pate, judge Oconee circuit; I>. B. Har
-1 rell, judge Pataula circuit; J. M. Clarke,
judge Siuthwestern circuit, This is a
strong array of democrats, unspotted
and pure, who s6light and took what is
now attempted to condemn Governor
I Boynton for seeking. Win. B. Flerri
j tiling applied and was recommended hV
IR. E. Lester. E. 11. Xorrell was an ap
plicant endorsed by Governor J. M.
j Smith, It. J. Moses, Win. Dougerty and
I Porter Ingram were urged by Martin J.
i Crawford. Judge David Irwin applied
and was urged by If. P. Bell. W. J.
Hill applied in Atlanta and was reeom
• mended by other good men.”

New York, March 20. —Mr. Jiiy
Gould returned ttiis morning from his
two weeks’trip to Florida, and was at
his Wftfl;3treet office and the Western
Union building during the The
beneficial effects of the trip are apparent
in his Well browned and fuller face. He
said that he had enjoyed his vacation
very much.
Mr. Gould visited Florida two years
ago. In the two years, he says, the
country has improved and dovelrtped
wonderfully. lie is quite enthusiastic
about it. Speaking of Wall street affairs,
Mr. Gould said that from all he had seen
and heard of late, Wall street is the only
b'tre spot in the country.
He did not see why it should be blue.
The balance of trade, he said, is in our fa
vor; railroad earnings are large and.con
stantly increasing, and everything points
towards prosperity. “I do not care to
make ariy prediction,” he said, “hut I
believe that the country is in much bet
tor condition now than it was a year
age.”
About the middle of April, Mr, Gould,
accompanied by <he Hon. Russell Sage
and a few others who are largely inter
ested in the southwestern railroads, will
start on an extended trip over that sys
tem. 3lr. Gould’s yacht will not be
launched 5, and several
weeks will be required to put in her ma
chinery and do the joiner work, so that
it is not probable that she will be ready
to go into commission much before {Sep
