THE MONITOR. |
The Importance of Orgamialion.
Wo should li* o to imp net* upon Ujo
democracy of t o oast, tho grv-nt im
portance of organization and unanimity.
All Hoktiowlodgo that it is unfair and |
unjust thut Iho oountioK west of the Flint j
River eliotiM »et them»lo*««i up to domi
neer over it* forever. Tbo insinuation
the mere act carrim* along with it i*, that
there is no talent on this aide that ia ad
oquato to tho poaition. Uppn what oth
er possible theory can the weat side now
claim the representation? When the
dintriot wua first organized, they put in
their claim. We modestly, and in ft
spirit of forbearance, yielded, and furn
ished tho vote* to elect their man. In
thu next race, ho wanted to bo endorsed.
Wu Hiibmittod, and furnished tho votes
again. Again and again, ho indicated his
desire in tho aamo direction. Wonder
ing if wo were doomed of any earthly use
hut, to vote, wo voted him in. Then they
changed their standard bearer, hut not
the place of domicile, and we on this
aide wore called upon for the votes. Fa
trioticully, wo roapouded. Then hr.
wanted endorsement, and our side kind
ly furnished them tho votes. And now
—irliut now? Like the daughter of the
horse leech, tho cry still is, “give, give!”
When tho east modestly hinta that she
would Ik> pleased to have tho represent
ation just onoo—only this once—the
Crisp men reply, “oh, you eiuftcrn folks
are all well enough at the polls, but in
tho halls of Congress—excuse na! Let
Crisp have it as long as Cook did.” In
deed! That’s eight years yet. Shall
this, thing go on forever? When the last
trump shall>ake the pale nations of the
dead, ahall Amorictis still huvo the Cou
grenaniau? Why? There cun bo but
Olio reason why; and that is because the
oust has not the talent. And this is
what the western people say, by this
perpetual domination. Possibly they
beliovo it- there is no accounting for
the vagaries of egotism, lint it is in
no souse true. Tho wire grass counties
cuu boast of scores of men who are, in
quite the peer of
Judge Crisp. Walter T. McArthur is
one of them. .Judge Mcltuo is atiothor.
Col. Duncan is another. And wo do not
oousidtr that we are claiming anything
very extraordinary for these gentlemen
when Wo say so.
We are in favor of putting a atop to
this imposition. It. has gone ou long
enough to demoustrato the fact that the
other side of tho Flint will never have j
the courtesy to offer ua our duo vobinta- .
rily. Wo must demand it. This do
maud is tho only principle involved iu
the present eongresaionul contest; for it
is perfectly understood that wheu the
democratic nomination is mudo, tho can
vass is virtually over. Whoever the
nominee shall be, all good democrats, on
both sides of the river, will come to his
support, heartily.
What we wuut is to see tho democracy
of tho east uuitod. They are a unit oil
the priuciplo iuvolvod. Let them unite
upon the mini, and suocohs is assured.
Wo uro for McArthur, because the gen
oral voice of the wiregrass oounties
seems to liuVo celled him —because we
believe him to bo moat available mr.u.
True, ho is our personal friend, uml we
would delight to do him honor. But
wo would support tho worst personal
enemy we ever had, if ho was tho mini
most available for tho suceesa of tho
priuciplo involved. Let it appear that
any other uiuu carries more strength east
of tho Fliut river thau lie, and wo aro
for that man. And wo koow enough of
tho uuseHisliue.es and patriotism inhe
rent iu tho noblo heart of \\ alter r {.
McArthur, to say that he feels just so
too. Wo know ho would not sacrifice
ouo iota of priucijdo for a seat iu con
gress.
There is uot a man who was a Dew-!
ocrat iu the SSouate when Mr. McAr
thur was there that does not know
that the vote of Mossers. Faiu McAr
thur und Wellborn approved as
wi»e, salutary and patriotic. If theyj
had not so voted, Mr. Wellborn would
have been expelled, the Republicans
itould have obtained two-thirds raa-;
jority, sufficient to carry any scheme i
however iufamous, nnd Georgia would
have bee a deprived of throe pure and
competent Judges. That vote saved
the credit of Geoigia, financially nud
socially ; it kept our treasury keys from
h< itig turned over completely to rob
bers and knave*; it saved three Judi
cial omits from obloquy und dis
grace. Sumter Republican.
Gordon A Candidate
Savankah, Oh., May ft. —lt appear*
to lie settled beyond doubt that Gener
al John 11. Gordon will be a candidate
fur governor before the democratic
oonveulion. He said to a friend to-day
in the Rciiveu house; "The pressure
from all parts of the state urging me
to run is so great that I do not see how
1 cau resist it ; and beside*. Home things
have been said since my resignation,
ami some uuwarrautable fling* made
noont rrv invitation to participate in
[Vj ::.rc: ’t.a i- er .sc- at \ioi.ts li.ny. .
that cause me to feel very little like re
I sisting what appeur* to be a popular
j desire, I am anxious to meet roy people
! face to face. I have never dishonored
them, and they have never failed to
honor me.”
Tho conversation was repented to
your correspondent to-day. He sought
I General Gordon, and it was confirmed
from his own lip*. Tho General furth
er said:
‘•I will announce m7 name ns a can
didate for democratic nomination for
governor, and give the reasons that
move mo to this course when I return
to my home iu DeKslb."
"In the meantime,” ho added, “if
you want to print tho news yon may
say that I will be a candidate before
the democratic convention if I live,
and I intend to meet my people face
to face as often as I can get them and
Whenever I can get to them.”

An Unblemuhed Character
All men are fallible. When they have
decided to take a position, if they can
not find nn argument to support it
from the spontaneous logic of their
position, they wili invent one. It is so
with some of tho advocates of Judge
Crisp. They do not deny the truth of
tho proposition that the eastern coun
ties should name tho man for the 50th
Congress, They attempt to find fault
with the record of the mau most of them
have chosen.
It is indeed a melancholy comment
upon the virtue mid intelligence of
some of our people; it is a sad commen
tary upon our system of elections, it is
a travesty upon onr republican insti
tutions, that no mail can enter into a
freo and laudable contest for office
without being met with a storm of per
sonal abuse nud vituperation. Let
liira who will, roar his bend and desire
to reach a position to which uuder
Democratic government all citizens are
permitted to aspire, and ho is greeted at
onee with slauders uufl misrepresen
tations without number.
Mr. McArthnr Ims not been fee ex
ception, To these abuses ho ffnrf deci
ded to pay little attention. He sim
ply appeals to the hciikh of justice and
right of tho people to investigate the
slanders, and when they find, as find
they must, that they are groundless and
malicious, to rebuke the malicious
slanders and the candidate who aids
and abets them, by retiring him at the
ballot box.
Wo have, however, been asked by
| several pure and able Democrats hi e*-
plain t n the pnlillc tho accusation flint
has been mailu against Mr. Me.Vftffttr
on the streets of Amerious to the effect
that whan in the State Senate lie voted
for Foster Blodgett for ffue United
States Senate. This we do in deference
to the gentlemen named. A'ud we sav
this to every mau who thinks Mi. Mc-
Arthur'* conduct in this matter worse
than that of C. F. Grifcp in joiuiug, l.nn
ny Juggling, rtiiini'iig tdj'r office, nud af
filiating with the Black Republican par
ty, "Vote for Cri*p." Themtui whoso
think* and feels, Mr. McArthur outi Well
afford to lose.
The following are the particulars of
Mr. McArthur's vote:
The Republican party was in nu
overwhelming majority in the Georgia
Legislature. There were only nine
or toil Democrats in tho State Senate.
In order to kaep the State from eternal
ruin and to retard tho Radical vam
pires a* much as po*sible all the Dem
ocrats that the Senate had was needed.
Judge C. J. Wellborn of North Georgia
had been elected as a Democrat by hi*
district. The conscienceless and igno
rant Republican majority were formu
lating a plau to oust him from his scat,
and place |iu a Republican instead.
Tbis was notorious.
Now at the regular time for the elec
tion of U. S. Senators, Dr. 11. V. M.
Miller, nUd Hon Joshuu Hill bad been
elected Senators as Republicans by the
Legislature. The greut Radical apostle,
Foster Blodgett, however, sometime
afterwards, decided lie desired to go to
the Senate and the Radical cuueus deci
ded to elect him. Every one knew the
election of Blodgett was illegal und
void—u mere nullity. No one rau
against him. There was no opposi
tion.
All of the lespectabfl.ty, the intelli
gence of the Senate was upoU the
Democratic side, uud in order to at
tempt to give the toid election of
Blodgett so much respectability as
possible, the caucus of tho Radicals
submitted this proposition, that if
three Democratic Senators would cast
their votes for Blodgett they would let
Wellborn retain his sent iu the Seuute
and elect three Democratic Judges, j
lu;ui-Vli.itely Judge J. C. Fain, Hon.
Walter T. McArthur and Mr. iVeUborn
himself consented, knowing full well
that Blodgett could never be orated
and that this would save to the Demo
cracy uu important Democratic Senator
and gife three pure and able Democratic
judge*.
In purstfnuce of this patriotic move,
uud fine political stroke, Mr. Well
born remained uumolosted in the Sen
ate, went back home honored, loved
and reveled by hi* people, and h»*
*,oee been fudge of the Superior
Court of bis circuit. Judge Fain has
also been houored and respected, aud
is now au able Judge of the Superior
Court for the Cartersville circuit. !
Futher, iu obedience to this move, ,
Judge Alex. 8. Ervin, now Railroad
Commissioner, was made Judge of the
Western Circuit, and two other Judges,
able and Democratic, were selected,
whose names we have forgotten, but
whom we can and will furnish if neces
sary. We refer for the truth cf these
words to tue gentlemen themselves,
sll of them men of honor, position and
respectibility, to-wit, Judge J. C. Fain,
Judge C. J. Wellborn aud Hon W. T.
McArthnr.
Mr. McArthnr dJbea not and should
not regret that vote, it was wise,
salutary and patriotic. It was one
that he will be glad to meet the people
upon and abide their verdict. It is
huinilating iu the extreme, that a
taove, so sagacious, so patriotie should
not only receive no thanks bnt should
even be the weapon used against him
by his political enemies.
This is his record and wo are not
afraid to oompare it with that of any
i Loyal Leaguer under the sua.
