With the retirement oi Mr. Turner
from congress, the Eleventh district
sustains a loss which cannot he esti
mated.
Some of onr people fail to appreciate
Mr. Turner and many take issue with
him on one or another subject, hut
wherever there has been a difference
of opinion between Mr. Turner and
his constituents, lie has fully sustain
ed his position by overpowering logic,
and a lack of appreciation of him any
where bespeaks poor judgement, bad
principle or an inordinate prejudice.
There has been a cheap objection to
Mr. Turner among some of bis con
stituents who charge him for not
having labored to promote legislation
in favor of bis own district. He i“
blamed for be ng a broad minded
statesman, too liberal and unselfish to
ask for appropriations for his home
people, in a greedy sense this is
actually so. Mr, Turner, it is true,
lias ma lc no effort (o obtain a marble
public building for every crossroad in
bis district, neither lias he used Ins
influence to dredge every running
branch, or to dig any prodigious ca
nals through the foot hills of (lie A lie—
glianies; nor lias he secured a govern
ment position for every man in bis
district who Was out of a job: there i:
some little pretext to doubt this as a
congressman's duty ; but Mr. Turner
has worked quietly in favor of all ju
dicious expenditures, making little
fuss and no blow to bis constituents
of his mighty deeds in their favor. He
has been too honest to ask for appro
priations which were not merited and
too modest to herald bis labors in (be
interest of bis people. Those who
charge Mr. Turner of being too great
a statesman to serve a congressional
district, and who would for this rca on
displace him for a smaller man, mark
a most contemptible epoch in the his
tory of polities. Hut thanks to Chris
tianity and education, there are only
a few of this kind.
Mr. Turner is a nobleman and his
opponents are obliged to admit it.
Though lie has retired —we hope only
for a short while —from public lift 1 , lie
will not be forgotten and lost in the
onlivion of an ordinary politician. He
lias made history and his record is
written in the hearts of his country
nun. .Monuments of excellence and
honor stand on the public plains of
national esteem, and tributes of grati
tude and love lurk fondly around the
hearthstones of many thousand hemes
where bis honesty and purity are
known.
Only a low days ago an old man
said to us, “I have known him inti
mavoly for thirty years and by two
standards I have judged him : 1 have
never heard him to utter a word or
sentiment that was not tit for a lady
to hear and 1 have never known him
to use an unfair method to defeat an
opponent.’' Such a tribute is worthy
of a king, and as Mr. Turner lias
bestowed on his constituents the gra
cious order of a ‘ dukedom,’’ it is but
lit that be should receive the coronet
of a gra*cful people.
lilt tXTI.I A S XOMIX VTIOX.
On the retirement of one great man.
the Eleventh district comes forward |
with the possibility and likely hood of
another to serve it in the highest
councils of the nation.
In the nomination of Mr. Brantley
for congress, the district has in a great
degree made reparation for the loss of
Mr. Turner. It must be admitted _
that no man can till Mr. Turners
place unconditionally : but if there be I
a near approach to the excellence of
-his gieatness. it is concentrated in the]
splendid epitome of characteristics I
found in W. li. Brantley. He is bril- 1
liant. energetic and honest. He lias
a capacity to comprehend, a magnet
ism to attract, an eloquence to im
press. He is logical, profound and'
earned, and with a nature that is
affable, considerate and gentle, he is
possessed of a vast deal of what is
termed ‘‘common sense” which
serves him in great as well as small
affairs. Asa well rounded man he
surpasses any other congressman who
will go from Georgia, and it will be
only a matter of time and experience
when he will have a prestige in con
gress and wield an influence as bis
successor, and thus the high honor
which lias been accorded the Eleventh
district will continue to be accorded
for the excellence of bet representa
tive.
Mr. Brantley is such a favorite with
the people of the Brunswick judicial
circuit, and, indeed, with the people
of the entire Eleventh district, that be
will have very little opposition to Iris
candidacy, even should the populists
have a candidate in the field. Three
fourths of the people in Coffee county,
populists and democrats, will vote for
Mr. Br.nlley in preference to any man
in the district. The free silver criers
are virtually hushed, and notwith
standing his privately avowed princi
ples on the money question, they have
agreed to acquiesce and lend their
support to his election. This means
that his nomination was virtually an
election, and that Will G. Brantley
will fight our battles in the next
congress,
McKinley and Hobart are rather
unusual names, but they are winners
just at this period.
Gov. Atkinson will have many a
Baiiquo to face before “Birtium wood
remove to Dunsinane.”
“Dixie” was the favorite air at the
Republican national convention. That
was good taste, especially in a southern
city. __________
The bolt at St. Louis did not per
ceptibly raise the price of silver. We
await the action at Chicago for that
utopian boon.
Mrs. Nollies was remanded to the
state court by Judge Speer last Satur
day. She was resentenced Monday to
be hanged.
The people say “we do not want any
whiskey sold in Coffee county.” Do
not fret: it is out of the question, even
il Mr. Tanner should gel elected, which
lie will never do.
If Mr. Tanner should live to be as
old as Methuselah, lie would never
again be elected to the Georgia legis
lature. He lias allowed a few indis
creet friends to lead him astray.
Waresboro is glad that the decision
of the Supremo court has left it with
-a municipal government. Wo
suspect that some of the citizens of
Pearson are in a like state of mind.
It is difficult for a well bred man to
understand what Governor Atkinson
will say if lie shall be called on for a
speech at the Richmond reunion, but
Bill Atkinson, the bull-dozer, will
“shoot ’em" just the same.
Prof. Pound who has been president
of the Gordon Institute at Bartlesville
f r the past eight years has severed
his connection with that institution
to accept the chair of pedagogy at the
State Normal and Industrial School,
Milledgeville.
Frank Stanton, of the Constitution,
has discovered that Mary's lamb had
hair on him and that it was of golden
hue. Mary's lamb will yet be identi
fied as the same from which the gold
en fleece of Colchis was taken, and
Frank Stanton the Jason who stole it.
Editor Bayne of the Augusta Herald
says of the sweet girl graduate :
“Her cheeks have robbed the or
chards, and her eyes are glittering
understudies of the stars. There is a
buoyancy in her heart and starch in
her petticoats, and the music of rip
pling waters in her ceaseless conver
sation.”
A few senators were left in Wash
ington as a committee to investigate
the bond issues. Last Monday they
summoned Seeretan Carlise before
them for information, and that digni
tary was so clear in bis replies and his
bond issues appear so honest and nec
essary that the committee are much
like the boy that the calf run over.
Since the Albany Herald thinks that
Clevelaudism has expired, and since
Turner has declined to run for con
gress. Editor Mclntosh calls Pendleton
and Perliam the political orphans of
the Eleventh. It appears to us that
we should rather be the orphans of
sdeh men as Cleveland and Turner
than the illegitimate otlsprings of Tom
Watson aud C. Crisp.
