Americus Recorder. W. L. OLBIMBR, B4lt«r. ODelai «nc*i or Wefetti WEDNESDAY,!] 13th SENATORIAL DISTRICT. DKNOCK ACT OR lND^FENDKNTlNR. wiucii 1 Two jeacaago, when the democracy of the 9th CopgroMional district bad rooted Emory Speer, the fdttlf Giant of fnde- pen fie otUm , great rejoicing was had In (he ranks of the democracy of the 18th Nenatorial diatrict; two ymn prior to that Dr. Foltao, tbo Big Oiant of lode* pendentlim, bad been buried in his To* pendent political $rave; and then w h«*» Hahoneiem in Virginia dropped front its zenith Tile a falling star, and.was shroud ed In the mildew of ita own, corruption, we ail felt most aa happy as tfxn old sister a*, campmeeting who felt happy onongb to hug everybody. And now at this Jute day shall the 13th Senatorial district go hacfc on W reoort) for allegiance to or ganized democracy and reviva the ghost of IndependentiHto? 1 am relnctant to believe it; I had rather believe that a nober, second thought would prevail, rather than disrupt tbo organized de- inocraey and bring on all the evils that wnnld naturally follow this desirnotlve course. A prominent citizen informed me that parties in Sumter are watching the prob able anccess of the movement with the view' of running for the legislature jn Sumter, and then an Independent might mo for Congress in this diatrict. And what is pll this fuss about that we sbopld have all these threatened evils suspended over our. Iua'K-* Was mt, Major J. N. Hudson, the Democratic nominee, regu larly nominated in accordance with the rules fixed by the convention? Yes; the rules fixed by the convention required a majority of the rotes to nominate, there were eight votes in the convention, two each from Sobley and Macon and four from Hntnter; Major Hudson got four aud a half votes, and one of the Macon county delegates who had voted with the tolnori- rentier., and failing to defeat Cleveland's nomination hare been threatening not to abide the action of the convention. Don't all trne democrat* ond»mn tbe action of Kelljr and bis party ? Can any Mma'cR in « aeta through the declaration of it, convention, Indepcn- ,irnti.nl arts in many way,, in mass meotiott, gotten up by the aspirant or hi, follower,, or by individual annoonee- ment m ft candidate fa : defiance of can* motion,, end make, « heavy warfare on tinge and clique,, or any other glindiUg hobgoblin. That waa Dr. Celton and [ Emory Speer', method. I do not call KMleylani dr independent iam democracy. Hint the 23d day of August camp, thin year before the 6tli Mf so, I say, people of ttic 13th Senatorial District look well to yonr interest, briber declares that I ar- d (bat 1 would run an an independent candidate, if tbe con* volition refused to nominate me. Thin I denied in my other letter, and ns he contradicts my word, I hog him to allow me to contra dict his, and beside, 1 notice In the the Republican that be says 1 promised[him that I would not be n candidate against him, but now If Kelley and hi* party j saya that I stated I would. Ilnw boll, the nomination nnd pula nnt an-! cnn yon reconcile this? other candidate, will they not be properly ; - called independent, and la it not equally aa bod for otbera to do a like thing? Ho further says that the Murray delegates actually admitted, in Ktop, wayward brother democrat,, before 1 open convention, that I would ! un a mistake haa ripened Into an ivll; do . independent if not nominated, not act in haete that yon may repent at ; j call upon every mnn who leieure. If'the coarenliou tint nominated Mnjor Hudson was a demoomtio ennren-... ,. lion, called together by proper authority | »»««g your verdict. was in that convention for the proof of this assertion. Gentlemen, What say and acted under rule* fired by them nnd ’ ye, men of integrity ? in accordance with democratic principler. j Mr. Hudson also says that 1 thru it seem* to me that not only all the j referred to the 11.

Suintcr county democracy i* bound by the action of the convention by all. the rules of party usage* And practice, a* the meeting at which her delegate* were elected had been well adverliaed nnd rverylmdy who felt an interest and waa able could have attended; it Are* the day when gubernatorial and congressional delegates were selected, a good large crowd waa out and the Sumter delegate* were elected by about eighty majority. Isn't it, therefore, a little ineentittent for a democrat of Sumter county to My he will not abide the action of the conven tion, and at the same time claim to bo an organized democrat? Organized doesn’t mean to repudia.e. disrupt and tear to piece*. Macon county Kent her delegate* to tbe convention; one of them. Gel. AVillis, the Nestor of organized democracy iu hfttt county, was made chairman of the con vention; they participated in the pro ceeding* of the convention all the way through, and on their motion the nomi nation of Major Hudson was declared unanimous. Ia not Macon county hound by the action of the convention? I do not eee how an organized democrat conhl say otherwise. 1>om anybody suppose that Col. Willi* and the other delegate* will go back on their own action, or that the democracy of Mnoon county will go hack on tho action of their authorized delegates, or their own time-honored al legiance to the democratic party ? How with Schley county? She sent her delegatee to the convention, who participated in ita proceedings in fixing the ruj^s of the convention, snd voted, with one or two exceptions, I believe, in all the proceedings of the convention. They did not vote, I believe, in tbe tleo- tiou of tho candidate.

This is lather sharp in tbe gentlemen.
