ln-tl. lie goes further
that the delegates from Coffee county
were instructed to vote as a majority of
the Clinch delegation might dictate, and
the Ware dedicates w ere appointed with
that understanding, and that prior to
adding of tne convention, the
Ware delegates expressed their inten
tion of so voting, bo far as the instruc
tions to the Coffee delegation are con
cerned 1 oid not so understand them,
and the upj>omtment of the Ware dele
gates “with that understanding” is
-thing new to me, and the state
ment that they expressed themselves as
intending to ho vote is without founda
tion, so lar us I am concerned, and 1
believe I speak for several other dele
gates also.
Had the delegates from Coffee and
'are counties voted simply as a ma
jority of thu Clinch delegates dictated
then the convention might very proper-
Jy been termed a farce, if not a fraud,
if the delegates from Coffee and Ware
counties had no voice in the selection
of a candidate their presence in the con
vention would have been a useless for
mality. My expressed understanding
of the rotation rule is and was that the
nominee of that convention should be a
citizen of Clinch county,, but that the
delegates from coffee and Ware coun
ties had as much right uml us much re
sponsibility in the selection as bad the
delegates trom Clinch. I thought then,
and still think, that the two-thirds rule
is proper for nominating conventions,
but the majority rule was adopted by a
vote of .‘H to "Jii. A majority of the
Clinch delegation voted lor the majori
ty rule, and it is my jin press ion that
the delegates gem-rally favoring the
nomination of Mr. 1I**A. Malt
for it, and if they are not pleas
the result they ought to accept it with
becoming dignity. 1 don’t believe that
any memls-r of that convention, or anv

RATES TO UK RESTORED.
The Savannah News of Sunday
last brought the following intelli
gence of the termination of the
freight war between the S. F. & W
U. R., the F. It. & N. R. It., and the
Central It. R., in the territory of
the Chattahoochee, Apalachicola
.and Flint rivers:
“The railroad freight rate war
> in the Chattahoochee, Apalachico
la and Flint river territory has
been fixed up, and on August 2nd
rates will be Restored to the old fig
ures. The competing roads were
the Central, the Savannah, Florida
& Western, and the Florida Rail
way & Navigation Company. Each
made inroads into the territory of
the others, and the three made a
very lively fight of it. Evidently all
are tired of the war. An effort was
made two months ago to amicably
settle the matter, but the confer
ence was not wholly successful.
The blame was put upon the Flori
da Railway & Navigation Company
When the rates arc restored the
roads will withdraw from each oth
er’s territory and will work their
own.”—Bain bridge Democrat.

How the human system ever re-|

mischief done by bad medicines is
scarcely less than that caused by

The Senatorial Question
Pearson, July 26, 1836. .
Eds. Headlight : I desire to
make a correction, or prevent
the people from remaining un
der a false inpression, as the
“Delegate from Clinch,” in his
protest has seen fit to publish,
"say* They desire to create the im
pression that the delegation from
Coffee was instructed to vote
for the choice of the Clinch del
egation. There was no such
instruction given. We were
uuinstructed delegates, except
that wo should select a gentle
man from Clinch county as the
nominee, it being Clinch coun
ty’s time under the rotation sys
tem, which system our county
passed resolutions to sustain.—
We take the grounds^tliat Ware
and Coffee have as much voice
in the selection of the nominee
as Clinch has, claiming that lie
is the nominee of ihe three
counties and not for Clinch
county alone. We concede the
right to take the gentleman from
Clinch county this time, but in
the selection of that gentleman
jas our nominee we claim the
j right of the three counties to
J! make the selection and not
Clinch county alone, for if that
should have been the rule where
was the necessity of the other
two counties being called upon
to send a delegation to assist in
that selection? We met in your
city and made a good selection
from our sifter county, in the
person of Mr. Frank B. Sir-
mans, a gentleman whom I
believe the people of the three
counties will, by their votes, on
the first Wednesday in October
elect, by a rousing majority as
Senator from the fifth Senatori
al district, keeping our party
solid and in ranks, us it is to
our interest to do. I cannot con
ceive why the delegate from
Clinch after the convention
mado its selection under the
majority rule, adopted by the
Mattox delegates, while the
other delegates wanted and en
deavored to get the two-third
rule, should be dissatisfied, as
the nominee was selected under
their rules and regulation. Why
not show their generosity as was
shown in the nomination two
years ago, when the selection
was made for Coffee county by
the Ware and Clinch delega
tion? Coffee accepted, went
home and voted for the nomi
nee who was a very acceptable
man, although not the choice
of the Coffee delegation. Both
candidates, Messrs Mattox and
Sirinaus were put in the nomi
nation by the Clinch delegation-
Where does the people of Clinch
county see the honor in being
led by a few dissatisfied dele
gates in bringing out an inde
pendent from Ware when their
own county is entitled to that
honor? Why did they not run
their choice and not leave home
to find some one to lay on the
altar as a sacrifice. Fellow-cit
izens, let us' bury independent-
ism forever, and this is the
time to do it; so that Henceforth
and forever, when the majority
of the people have spoken, no
one man will dare attempt
rule, aud our politics will be
somewhat purified and man’s
ambition curbed so he will not
attempt to force himself on the
people when not wanted. We
had a fair, square and honest
nomination, and now to have
our ranks broken by a few dis
satisfied politicians would create
discord for years. Unite, stand
firm, and be on the lookout for
all kinds of political work.
I write this article that we
may be put in a proper posi
tion, and that the facts may
show for themselves.

The Senatorial Qtteation.
Waycbosh, July 28,1886.
Eds. Headuout—I see an arti
cle in the Headlight over the
signature of “Democrat, relative
to the nomination of Senator from
the Fifth Senatorial district, and
in which the honorable gentleman
seems to think that the whole mat
ter was a batch of fraud and out
rage, and therefore the nominee
is not entitled to receive the vote
of the district, nor the people in
any manner bound by the nomi
nation. Now, as one who was
present and knows of the whole
transaction, I have this to say:
First, that the nomination was
conducted strictly fair, and no one
has any right to complain, either
of fraud or unfairness. Second,
that there was no understanding
by the Ware delegation that they
should support the man from
Clinch who furnished tho largest
delegation, etc. Clinch county
was entit ed to the nominee, this
all the delegation is and was ready
to admit at tbo.,Jupar and not a
single objection wis raised to
the nomination of a Clinch
county man, nor was there a
man spoken of from cither of the
other two counties. The name
of Mr. II. A. Mattox was first
placed before the convention,
who claimed, and rightly, too, a
majority of Clinch’s delegation,
then the name of F. B. Simians
was placed in nominaton, ho
also a citizen of Clinch county
who was then present with
a small delegation from his
own county. When tho dele
gates assembled for business the
majority rulo was adopted, the
motion having been made by
one of the strongest supporters
of Mr. Mattox, the voto of each
delegation having been east and
reported to the chairman, the
vote stood thirty for Mattox and
thirty for Sirmans, making a
tie. When the second ballot
was cast, tho voto stood, twenty-
nine for Mattox and thirty-one
for Sirmans, giving Mr. Sirmans
a clear majority of two votes,
under the majority rule. Now,
if that was not fairly done I
would like to know what “Dem
ocrat” would call fair play.—
When Coffee county! had her
turn two years ago, they failed
to nominate the man presented,
by her own county’s delegation,
and Mr. Wilcox, * of Coffee, was
nominated by the Ware and
Clinch delegation without get
ting a single vote from his own
county, and “Democrat” knows
this to bo true. Now, Mr. Edi
tor, and fellow citizens, it may
be possible that “Democrat” is
more interested in this election
on his own account than on the
part of any one else, and might
perhaps have fared better to
huve had less to do or say about
the matter, and especially as to
the charge of fraud aud unfair
ness upon the part of an honest
set of delegates, who did noth
ing but what they believed to be
just, right aud honorable be
tween man and man. We feel
safe to say that the people of the
district are satisfied that the
nomination was conducted on
fair and honorable principles,
and that they will confirm the
matter by casting their votes, or
at least a large majority of them
for Mr. Sirmans, the regular
neminec, on the day of the elec
tion. Now, if “Democrat” feels
disposed to ignore the rules and
principles of genuine Democra
cy it does not signify that the
voters of the' fifth Senatorial
district will want to follow the
example, nor do we believe that
they will; but to the contrary
we believe that Mr. F. B. Sir-
mans, the regular nominee of
the district will get a large ma
jority of the votes polled from
each of the counties of the dis
trict on the day' 6f election; and
we are fully satiefied that under
the rules and principles which
govern nominations that he is
entitled to them. Let the voters
of the fifth Senatorial district
rally to the polls on election day
and cast their votes for the reg
ular nominee.
