Still rnrther on ttio Rule.
While we do not believe the distinc
tive Democratic two-thlrda rule will be
get tside in next week’* couventloa, in
the interest of Mr. Stephens, or any other
candidate, still there is nothing amiss in
adding some additional reasous for the
maintenance of this rule in our conven
tions. Tfie claim that the rule is uot
Democratic is absurd, in the face of the
fact that it has never prevailed iu the cou-
veutions of any party but ours; and the
instauces in which it has not been formal
ly reaffirmed In our conventions were
occasions on which there was no necessity
for re-asserting it, because of the fact that
there was the promise of practice) una
nimity in the given conventions. The
truth of this statement will be seen in the
fact that in no case, in which a convention

two thirds majority— there being no de
emed opposition to him in the conven
tion. Wo venture the assertion that uo
Democratic nominee for gojgrhor, since
the war, lias gone into the eWreass as the
candidate of the Democratic party, on a
bare majority nomination. So it follows
that the instances in which the two-thirds
rule was not expressly Insisted on were
exceptions, which prove the rule to be as
stale it—a* is conclusively shown T>y
the practical unanimity of the nomlnallou
in all such cases. Where is the need of
re-affirming the rule when it is notorious
that there is no substantial opposition to
a given candidate?
The Idea that the # failure in one or
more conventions, practically unani
mous as we have shown, to declare
for the two-thirds rule shows that
the rule is not really the rule of the party,
is utterly indefensible, by all the known
rules ol logic. The same method of rea
soning would show that “hoiuo rules” is
not a Democratic doctrine; for if it has
been formally te-affirmed by a Georgia
Democratic convention, during the past
ten years, we are not aware of the fact.
It by no means follows from this omission
that “borne rule” is not a pup bar Demo
cratic tenet of faitb. No more does It
follow that the two-lbirds rule is uot a
formally adjudged Democratic rule, be
cause our conventions have bad candidates
for governor, since the war, that were
nominated by acclamttlon. The fact that
no Democratic nominee has gone to the
people for their suffrages on an indorse
ment of less than two-thirds of the con
vention, Is conclusive on this point. In
the light of this showing, the position of
the majority advocates is seen to bo not
even plausible; for U»e gist of the whole
matter is that the candidate shall receive
the indorsement of at least two-thirds ol
the delegates. In all inch cases, the al
most unanimous vote given the nominee
was a practical and unanswerable re-asser
tion of the time-honored Democratic rule.
So much for that.
There Is another point in this line ol ar
gument which we think is well taken.
The two-thirds rule has been affirmed in
all our State conventions that have fol
lowed an active campaign between rival
candidates for the nomination. There is
not an exception to this, so far as our In
formation goes. If there is a single In
stance In whieb a demand lor the re-sf-
Arming cf the two-thirds rule has been
disregarded, we would be glad to have
the case pointed out. No such demand
has ever been disregarded, simply because
the law of custom and of repeated, direct
and positive affirmation, bas constituted
this rale an Inalienable right and defense
of the minority. There is no wsy of
avoiding the force of this conclusion. It
It fair to state, tbeo, that a failure lo re
affirm this rule, in view of the heated
campaign through which the party is pass
ing, and In consideration of the fact that
Us re-affirmation it demanded in no un
certain way by so large a proportion
the party, would be an outrage on Demo
cratic custom, a violation of Democratic
precedent, and a disregard of minority
rights, that could not fail to work Incal
culable Injury to tbs party. No candidate
for the suffrages of the delegates will
likely object to receiving a two-thirds
support. No candidate who cannot com-
should foci him

If there were no exsiperatlons to be pad-
ified, no wourds to b# healed, no variant
factions to be united. But when these
sources of weakness are all active and
threatening eiemrtrtt of party discord,
would net ream to itqn're any great
aaroux* of political wisdom to see that
maa, who comes recommended by a bare
majority ppmroaUoe, wen at the sacrifice
cf the vested righto of Democratic minor
ities, can possibly mast the deminds cf
more especially during the dog days, and
that solar beat is a prime agency In pro
ducing this result.
Statistics show this impression to be a
false one, Jest as facts and figures dispel
ratuy other llluiiotis and superstitious.
Dogs aud cats may go tnsd at any season,
and the more dogs and cats there are the
more likely that hydrophobia will make
Its appearance.
Tne alarm which is felt in relation to
It is well founded, for though the faculty
claims that imagination has much to do
with a fatal result, Iho records chow a
very small percentage of cure in people
who have been bitten and who develop
the disease.
This latter fact seems to support the as
sertion that our medical brethren, to mak
ing rapid strides iu surgery and the treat
ment of special organic diseares, have
dropped aud lost some things in the prac-
tlce of medicine, by the wayside.
We can recall from the memories of ear
lier 0
Floyd couuty claims six delegates in next
week's convention, but it has only two
membetsiu the present Legislature. The
terms of those two members will certainly
uot expire until their snccessors are elect
ed aud qualified. Their successors
cannot be elected and qualified prior to
the assembling of the con ventiou. Whence
then does it get the right to claim six
members ui the convention? If the de
mand should be acceded to, it Is plain
that it would have threo times as mauy
delegates in the convention as It has mem
bers iu the House of Representatives, in
stead of twice as many, as the law pro
vides. Houston county is entitled to
three In the present House. Under
the section of the law, as quoted above,
Houston it entitled to twice as many del
egates in the current convention as it has
members u tbe existing House. If, then,
Houston should be allowed only four
members in the couventlon, her represen
tatlon in that body will be only one and a
third times greater than her mem
bership iu the present House, and this
would be a violation of her rights under
the law. The membership in a present
convention cannot be apportioned on the
basis of a prospective Legislature. It
would seem that the justice of this view of
the case is too plain to need argument to
enforce it. The question will undoubt
edly come up for decision before the con
vention; but in view of all tbe facts in the
case, as we have presented them, we can
not see how it can come to any otb^f con
clusion than this: That each couuty is
entitled, In the current convention, to
twice as many delegates as it has mem
bers in the current Legislature, the new
apportionment law having not yet gone
Into effect. We ahail correct our table in
accordance with this view of the case, in
justice to tbe couutles concerned.

Did Mr. Stephens request Mr. Speer to
tend bis famous telegram to the Atlanta

receive a letter from any one cf those In
dependents asking him to send such ate!-
gra**i, or auy like telegram, to the Atlanta
committee who were to assemble at tbe
Markham House on the 15th of May
Wbeu Mr. Stephens altered that Speer
telegram in “two particulars,” will he
state in what mauner be altered it, and
tho significance of the alteration? Did
he use the words “not reject,” in lieu
accept?” If he had noluterest in the
aforesaid dispatch, why did he alter it
all? Did not Mr. Stephens know that the In
dependent* exjiected to “recommend” him
that day? Had he no knowledge
their action at all ? If be bad knowledge
o! their intended action, did he recelvo
that information before Mr. Speer sent
that telegram or afierwa.'ds ? When
wrote to Felton that “he (Felton)
had mtnsged matters admirably
at the Markham House last
Monday, looking as 1 (Stephens) ccn-
celved to tbe best Interests of the Stato”—
what were “tbe matters” he alluded to in
that letter !
I( he had resolved to accept no recom
mendation, indorsement or nomination
from any party but tbe Democratic party,
why did he say to Feltou, “You have
managed things admirably ?”
Mr. Stephens, lu lus authonxed Inter
view with “F. U. R ,” uses these words
No such correspondence ever took place
with me ani either or any of the parties
designated.” (Referring to “leading In
dependents” and “leading Republicans.”)
We wish to know whether be bad never
written to a leading Independent iu Au
gusta and also one In North Georgia upon
tbe subject before mentioned, namely
“the plans and purpoeet” of those parties
as ludepeudeut politicians? Was
“mum”—did be write nothing? Did Mr.
Steplwns ever ask their indorsement of
Messrs. Holden or Seidell ?
How does Mr. Stephens draw tbe line
of distinction between coalitionists who
were seeking to secure tbe Indorsement of
Republicans In getting tbeir friends into
office, and his own endeavor to get bis
Republican partisans into Federal posi
tions? Did he seek uo Republican In
dorsement for them? If Speer is repre
hensible for indorsing Atkins, how much
worse Is he than M.*. Stephens, who
fought every Augusta Republican to get
Mr. Holden a place ? Where's lire differ
ence? Did Mr. Stephens gc to seethe
President to secure positions for
these political henchmen? Did
at least temporarily, to a superannuated
politician, of tbe Silurian period—both
the pigmy and the politician being politi
cally inimical to the stricken Senator.
So the pigmy went on to Washington City
and exiled on the Silurian statesman, and
tbe programme was arranged. Tho pig
my, who has henchmen throughout the
State, then sent out his orders, and so the
devilment began. The Democrats
throughout the Slate—at leart such of
them as were not too listless to take
interest in political happenings, and who
did not approve of the selfish, unfeeling
and unpstriotlc arrangement, began to
•peak out in opposition to the programme
of the pigmy aud tho Silurian,
The contest had not been waged long
before the slate-master saw that the allurl*
an, backed as he was by the whole State
administration and almost all of the ap
pointees of the Governor, with their un
cles and cousins and aunts, would fall lo
get the requisite two thirds vote in the
convention. It was then determined that
if the two-tblrds rule stood in the wsy of
the aged and superannuated candidate, it
should be straightway slaughtered in the
house of his friecds. All through, the
whole affair has been managed as if tho
Democratic party of Georgia has no other
mission than to provide offices for tbe
slate-master and such polit'cians as may
prove to be well-pleasing la libs eyes.
During alt the time, in which ^these
machinations against Democratic har
mony and Democratic methods and cus
toms have been going on, the Jeffersonian
Independents have been strengthening
themselves in their mountain strongholds,
and rejoicing over the supposed prospect
ive Indorsement, by Democratic regulars,
of the original, Jeffersonian, bushwhack
ing Independent -the pigmy's contribu
tion to Democratic confusion. Tho In
dependents are all Jeffersonians, and
they have taken courage from the situa
tion. Speer, In the ninth, is oveijoyed;
and his Gaiueaville organ—which is also
the Silurian's organ—states that tho two
are running together, hand In hand, iu
the mountains m agea ago David and
Jonathan ran together luthe plain:—
“two hearts that beat as one.”
Iu the seventh district Jeffersonian Fel
ton, encoursged by the anti-Dcinocratic
programme of the rule-or-rain officials,
hu taken courage, and proposes to make
a valiant and persistent effort to recover
what he lost in 1&0. lie claims to be
only a follower, an admiring follower,
of the man who made Independentlsm
possible In Georgia—the roan who is now
claiming the indorsement of Democratic
regulars, at the sacrifice of the Demo
cratic two-tblrds rule. Jeffersonian Fel
ton had this man's written indorsement
in 1878 and in 1880, and why may he not
plead It in 1882 ? No wonder he feels en
couraged to try his reinforced streogth In
tho campaign that la so near at hand.
In the eighth district, Independent Mc
Whorter, a warm personal friend and
supporter or the Jeffersonian candidate
before the organized convention, is said
lo be in the field for Congressional honors,
He is no boy, and to beat him, if be be
beat at all, will be no child's play.
No man in the eighth district need
hope to defeat him by means of the ac
tive support of his warm friend and ad
mirer—the Jeffersonian of Crawfordville.
More than all this, the Radicals all over

and county beat, are actively In tha field
They have been warmed Into new hope
and endeavor by the belie! that tbe rule-

of the man who mado Independentlam

tricts, and believing that this dis
satisfaction would be Intensified
by tbe procnrlog of his nomination at tbe
sacrifice of tbe distinctive Democratic
rale In nominating conventions, they have
concluded that tbeir day bas come, and so
they are preparing to Improve all or Its
