GRIFFIN, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1904,
THE SELF-EFFACEMENT OF A PA <.
As fully foretold by the News and Bun a ecu oleos weeks ago, after
the long and serious deliberation which the occasion demanded, Hon.
John Temple Graves yesterday deliberately thrust from him the honors
of the governorship of the proud State of Georgia, proffered by 19 citi
zens of Waycross and others.
It took two columns of his paper to explain why he did this, but the
substance lies in the statement of the writer that “I have been so fortu
nate in my short life to win enough of honor and of repute without the
adventitious aid of public station.” This modest statement of his al
ready elevated station is followed by a long enumeration of the high and
lofty qualities required to be the proper sort of governor of this great
commonwealth, all of which Mr. Graves gracefully acknowledges that
he possesses, and says, “I would have grace to give Georgia a clean,
brave, useful administration of its highest office.”
Mr. Graves says that “the question of success or failure in the pri
maries would not have weighed an hour on mv spirit, although I believe
with all my judgment that on these issues I would have won,”bu ß
p'eads ill health and large business interests as an excuse for resisting
the importunities of “thousands of assuring friends.” We are fain to
believe, however, that these are not the real reasons, since the great
men of “the days of old—men like Stephens, Hill, Gordon and Colquitt,”
to whom Graves alone in these degenerate times is compared and com
parable, never allowed such things to stand in their way when they saw
the ir duty so plain before them. Is it not possible that in that clear and
logical mind of bis, when enumerating therequisitaa of a good governor,
who should "hold office for a term of four years” before retiring, he saw
that the present incumbent did not fall so far below the requirements
that he should be thus summarily retired? Despite previous tendencies
in that direction, after mature reflection Mr. Graves did not have a word
to say in his retiring card against Governor Terrell; and we prefer to
believe that it was the radium light of justice that illumined the soul of
this last of the patriots and compelled this grand act of self-abnegation
without which a worthy though less great Georgian would have been dis
graced by not receiving the customary endorsement of a second plebiscite.
We confess to some regrets that Mr Graves did not decide to run ;
yet we would njt for worlds have missed that grandiose card of declina
tion. It is magnificent, and it is Graves—all over.
