WASHINGTON GOSSIP,
CorrespondenceTlemocratl
Washington, D. C., May
Now that the Republican State Con¬
ventions have all been held and the
delegates to Chicago announced, the
friends of the various candidates may
be seen pencil in hand figuring away as
to votes on the first ballot, second
choice, &., each one trying to nomi¬
nate his favorite. The Blaine men
figure largely on the delegates voting
as the sentiment of the party was ex¬
pressed in convention, and on this ba¬
sis claim a clear majority on the first
ballot- The Arthur men on the con
trary, while admitting that he is in a
woeful minority as far as instructed
delegates go,’ or the action of conven¬
tions would indicate preferences, count
largely on the treason of delegates to
those who elected them, aud the Na
tioual Republican, the Administration
organ, is aech day filled with delight¬
ful praise of any and all delegates who
show a disposition to prove false to the
men who elected them.
If the present theories of the Repub¬
lican are correct, treason to friends
who elect, ingratitude to those who
place you in positions of trust, and a
surrender of all principle,contsitute the
highest type of Republican manhood.
In fact, it virtually glories in its own
shameful advocacy of delegates betray¬
ing the trust reposed in them by their
constituencies, Mr. Arthur as an hon
orable man should beg to be excused
from the praise of such a sheet.
To the impartial observer, who is
not interested either in Mr. Blaine or
Mr. Arthur, it is apparent that neither
an be nominated with any hope of an
election, as the breach between their
partisans is too broad to admit of any¬
thing like a union ou either before the
November election. Democrats heie
are apparently enjoying the fight in the
Republic m’family and are only surpri; e I
that even the cohesive power of public
plunder could have kept these wings
together, or that the large number of
honest men in the Republican party
had not ere this left it and allowed the
plunderers to entirely destroy each
other. ^
Judge Wylie-bi the Kellogg case,ruling
it cut of court and directing the jury
to return a verdict of not gu lty, about
till the star-route cases are disposed of,
unless Mr. Kerr should at the small
fee of §100 per day keep on prewiring
indictments that have 110 more bottom
to tliem than those be has heretofore
drawn. Now that these trials are over
it does look as though Geo.Bliss,Kerr &
Co., had been for three yearn engaged
in persecuting men, who whether guil
ty or not were beyond tiie reach of the
law, simply and solely to diaw from
the Treasury their unearned thousands.
If the Republican idea of justice as
detieloped in tiie whole conduct ot
these cases is correct the old lady is
not only blind, but she is deai to all
appeals for honesty and a public plun¬
derer of the worst character.
Mr. Dorshiemer, of New York, made
a strong speech in the House yesterday
in favor of the Morrison bill. He de¬
clared the measure to be not only good
but the best which the times permitted,
and controverted tiie proposition that
the price of labor wrs enhanced by tiie
protective tariff. Mr. Dorsheimer has
as strong and clear a voice as any mem¬
ber in the House. He generally speaks
without notes, and secures the closest
attention of every member present.
For the first time in many years the
managers of tiie g. o. p. are in a bad
fix as regard, finances. WhileCongress
is. in session at least they will not draw
on tiie clerks, and tiie consequence is

friends of Mr. Blaine sum the matter

CRAWFORDVILLE, GA., FRIDAY. MAY 9th, 1884,
The bill which has been pending be¬
fore the Senate for some time to relieve
the members of the Fitz John Porter
court-martial from their oaths of secre¬
cy was yesterday postponed indefinitely
on the ground that Congress had no
authority to disturb the sanctity of ob¬
ligations imposed by the articles of war.
It is stated that Carl Schurz will be
on band at the Republican Convention
at Chicago. This was to be expected.
Senator Ingalls’ “Dfitch tramp ” is
pretty sure to be around when there is
a chance to make a bargain or turn a
trick. He probably imagines another
Hayes will be nomi nated, and that he
can again “ sell out the Dutch ” and
make things all right for his "Interior. ”

THE TENTH DISTRICT.
MAJOR GEORGE T. BARNES THE COMING
MAN.
Glascock Enterprise.
•‘Patriot aud Statesman.”
There is no man living in the Tenth
Congressional District who lias a bright¬
er record as a lawyer, patriot, philan¬
thropist or statesman than lion. George
T. Barnes. A better, wiser and more
deserving man can not be sent to Con¬
gress from this District. We would not
be ashamed of Major Barnes in the
splendid capitol of our great country,
but we would he proud of him. lie is
also a man from whose wise and pru¬
dent efforts we might expect to derive
good for ourselves. He, if sent, will
go to Congress to’ transact business ;
and we may rest assured that our every
interest will be watched bv him with
untiring vigilance—and every effort
made by him to promote our interest.
When others are divining into “Old
Sam’s pockets for appropriations the
Major will stick his hands in and get
some out for us. Let the nominating
convention meet but with one object in
view—to nominate Hon. George T.
Dames Barnes tor for OoiiQTPsd Congress.

“Orgaiilzing Victory.”
The The Tuditienl political eamoaivn campaign of oil the he Tenth lenui
Congressional District; of Georgia was
formally opened on the morning of the
17th inst., by the meeting of the Dem
oir.-.le'EraeAh-.-. Stamfav.

dersville was fixed as tiie place.-an . the s
first of July tiie time f<>r liolding tfii 1
convention, ,. it is ,,,,,11 well Hi that it Majti Maior 1
Barnes begun Elds walk of organizing
for tiie tenth district early , as j I
victory so
lie did ; since tiie district 1 as neen ;
changed and several lower counties
have been added, tiie Republicans and
negroes are in the majority, and it will
require stronger work to carry tiie dis¬
trict for the Democrats. Major Barnes,
however, seems equal to the task. He
has whipped the race ahead of time,
and no doubt he will be the next Con¬
gressman from the tenth without oppo¬
sition.
The Choice ot the People.
The correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier says : The Demo
cratic Executive Committee of this,
the new tenth Congressional district
recently met in Augusta and fixed a
date early in July for the meeting of
the district convention. Hon. George
rp I. mrnes the tne Georgia ueoigia member meineei of ui me tiie
National Democratic Executive Com
mittee. is the only candidate before the
people for the nomination, and he will
undoubtedly have a walk over. The
district could not have a better repre
tentative as Major Barnes is a man of
ability and energy. The district has
been thoroughly organized this early in
the campaign, and information from
all portions of it is to tiie effect that
Major Barnes is the almost unanimous
choice of the people. It is not proba
ble that there will be any Republicans
or Independent candidates in tiie field.
The tenth isasolid Democratic district.
