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. Proceedings ol Cfiurt.
