GEORGIA—BACON’S "PERSONAL
WORTH E31INENTLY UTS
HIM FOR THE POSITION—
HIS FAMILIARITY
WITH AFFAIRS. m
Eeitor Chronicle— The invita¬
tions with which I have been honored
to address the people on the pending
gubernatorial question seem to impose
upon me a duty to respond in some
way. I cannot visit the localities to
which I have been invited, and there
fore adopt this method of briefly giv
ing some of my views. It must be a
matter of regret to all good citizens
that the joiut dienssion between tM
candidates who aspire to the high
office very soon became so personal
that their respective representatives
agreed that the unity of the party and
the public good required that they
should be discontinued. But- when
we come to think,"about it, is it strange?
Where gentlemen belong to the same
party, and agree substantially upon
the public questions that must be
determined during the administration
of the office to which they aspire,
there is little, if anything to discuss
but themselves, and this being so, the
effort of eacli is make hi« competitor
inferior to himself, and hence personal
abuse or detraction, and a mere
wrangle for office must follow. This
must be so unt il we curb the disposi
tion to pursue office tor the emolu
ments and honor it brings, and learn ’
that the people have .some capacity
to select for themselves their own
public servants. As long as the pco-;
pie ailow it to l»e understood that no
citizen is to be called into offlceiunless
he is willing and able to conduct a
long and expe isive canvass,' in which
his chief employment is to fee praise of
himself and detraction and abuse
esters, b W
the services ot many, verv life*, ,i
thy and qualified, who#ooW, itV'
perly called, accept public gtgtio’ ,'
must be lost to the State, for th ■>
have neither the taste nor capacity t;
pursue such metliods.
To elevate the touo of our politics,
dignify the methods now too common¬
ly resorted to inculcate the salutary'
lesson that offices are not.created to be
dispensed as rewards, even for the
worthy, but to be conferred and enjoy¬
ed for the public good; that they bring
not ouly emolument and honor, but*
impose the most sacred trust and the
gravest responsibilities, is far more
important than the political prefer¬
ment of any individual. These high*
ends so devoutly to be wished for can¬
not be attained unless they are de¬
manded and insisted upon by the vir¬
tuous and intelligent, ^whose interest
and duty call upon them to assert and
maintain the control of public affairs.
Two prominent citizens aspire to the
high and responsible office of Governor
of the State, and the people, who are
the original source of all power, and *o
whom all offices belong, are called up
on to choose between them. It be
comes us to wisely and patriotically
inquire what is the business in hand?
what the duty of the hour? For in the
heat of partisan passion or false senti
ment we may forget these
and conti oiling questions. The bus
inesson hand is the selection of*
Gcvernor, not the crowning of a
rior. We want a man to fill the Chief
Executive office of the State, not one
to lead a gallant corps “into ...*
of death, into the mouth of bell’ T’ o
duty of the hour is to select that e
who is best qualified for the particU
lar service to be rendered. The office
of governor demands qualifications
entirely different from those that
would fit one for other high stations,
Its duties largely, very largely require
that the incumbent should be a man
of business habits and methods. We
must guard against the mistake oome
times made in the church as well as
the State, that because one is fit tor or
hag ^ eyen di8tinj?uishe d in one
department or station, that, there
f° re , he is qualified for alt service,

Against the one who, in my opinion
J# best qualified for the office, nothing
has been urged, as far as I have heard,
xcept the fact that he resigned the
adjutancy of a regiment during
war between the States. Of course
this has been, and will be, tortured
and perverted and exaggerated, and
will be made the most of among
uDreflecting and prejudffied. The facU.
are not denied, as far as I am inform
ed, that he faithfully did his duty in
the field until physical inability

and woman, in any department of

among those who did active service I
would place the most unfading
upon the brow of the [trivate soldier,
endured the severest hardships,
ed the greatest privations and fought
the battles and won the victories. At
all proper times and in all proper
ways, we should honor the faithful aud
true of that period. If it could he (
mark the grave of every dead by
worthy memorial, ana liberally pen¬
sion every living soldier. But this is
not the time to be unwisely moved by
such a sentiment, however lofty aud
worthy. It happens to be within my
knowledge that in another State, not
many years ago, the people elected one
Governor because he had taken his
life in his hand andgona into a district
that was stricken with yellow fever,
but it was not long berora they began
to think that one might be the most
uoble and self-sacrificing philanthropist
and yet not qualified to be the Chief
Executive of a great State. Let us
not make a like mistake. Not long
ago I had occasion to call upon one of
the largest merchants in our city,
whose success is the amplest proof of
his business management to solicit
employment for one who had been
unfortunate in business and lost every
tiling. In the course of the interview
the fnercliaut called my attention to a
gentleman in the store, of urbane
manner and faultless dress, and said
to me I have employed tb at man to
bow to, and smile upon the ladies.
Doubtless the merchant had been
wise in his selection for that particular
service, but if his judgment had been
so perverted by the charming address
of the gentleman selected to greet the
ladies, as to put bmi in charge of his
books and finances bankruptcy would
have been the price of his folly. The
business in hanu is the choice of a
Governor, the duty of the hour is
without partisan passion or prejudice
or intemperate sentiment, to select
that candidate who is acknowledged
by his opponent to be worthy and who
by the fitness of things is better quali¬
fied for the office,
