Wears not advocating the election of
Gen. Gartrell for governor, but it is false
to say that he is tbe nominee of the Repub
lican convention. They only "commend
ed” him; and the people of Georgia were
recently informed, io the cure of Mr. Bte-
phms, that a"r«commeud*tioa”is nuts
"nomination,” and that a candidate can
not conveoisntly "reject a xsommenda-
tion." If a man is a Republican because
h'get* the Republican vote, nnd works
for it, what is the character of Senator
Brown's and Gov. Colquitt's Dsmooracy?
In thi* connection the Camming Clarion
says: "The facts show that there was oo
nomination made by either wing for gov
ernor, but both wing# prefer Gen Gsrttcll
to Mr. Stephana, and therefore commend
him to the support of their friends. Tbe
resolution# speak for themselves, and th*
effort to mialead the people by an attempt
to create false impresaious will fc ’*
purpose. Republicans, white an
have the same right to vote for him, who
is as good a Democrat aa Colquitt ever
dared to be, that they bad to vote for Gor.
Colquitt two year* ago.”

the dote earlier. We were so maeh
ed at the action of th* gubernatorial con
vention (the majority part), that we left
our quiet abode, and sought pleasure in an
atmosphere where no politios existed,
among tbe gaysttae of the gay. We, In
oompany with oar "flaxen haired” M. D.,
■pent a couple of weeks at the springs, in
Meriwether couoty, principally at tbe
White Sulphur, where we had a moat tie-
* “ “ with
fibres of the aforesaid M.D.'s conservatory
of love, and plumed himself to pay hom
age to Crino’s tender emotions, but we
were not so susceptible os our friend, and
come home with no bitter regret*,
heart-pongs or aching voids. A
want of space prevents ns from writing all
1 atd conviction of a certain young
man (whose whereabouts the Sulphur
Spring* people are better acquainted)
charged with lunacy. The prosecution was
represented by Hoc. 1. Wire, of Macon,
solicitor pro tern, and the defense by lb*
Duke, the lion. Michael Dt-Lacy. The
ease waa presided over by OoL Probody. an
eminent lawyer of Col umbos, who, after
making a few preliminary remarks,
sounded the ease, and tbe depressed young
man stood up and pleaded not guilty. The
jury wm comiiosed of twelve ladies, whose
face* demonstrated tbo fact that they hod
a deep interest in the matter they were
about to pose upon. As three of the jury
were married ladies the Duke made
objtction, but after argument it
was withdrawn, the oourt remarking
at th* time that be would certainly have
ruled the motion, so the case pro-
id, and several witnesses of the fair
sex were introduced, whose evidence
sry clearly that tbe defendant was
mu had bnt few lucid intervals.
Crino having an encmpmeBt just at this
stag* of tbe trial, had to leave the eoort
room and make a hasty toilet for a drive,
and hecce d‘d not bear tbe evidenoe for
tbe defense. However tbe young man waa
found guilty, and tbe court erdored that
bis horse and buggy be confiscated to pay
cost and the Duke's fee, and that tbe
young man pass the remainder of his aad
existence as a pedestrian oo the sands of

bnota political question, but a social

the election of members of the Legisla
ture. rhe people of tbe various counties
eon settle this question for themselves,
whenever the? see proper, without tbe in
tervention of the LegUlatore. Here ta
what tbs Free Press ears: "We are oppos
ed to whisky and to whisky drinking, and
wish to-day that ita »** and ita traifle were
done away with in the land. We recog
nize fully ita demoralizing effect upon tbe
young and Ita deleterious influence upon
all daases. We would like to are a grand
temperance reform all over the country,
and we believe that such a reformation
will sooner or later take place. We are
opposed, however, to making "wet or dry”
an tasoe in eoaaty, State or national poli
tics. U U not proper or reasonable to ask
a candidate to bear the burden of such a
contest Our opinion is, and ere have been
asked to give it, that should the people of
a county desire tig passage of a prohibi
tory law, a vote should be taken on that
question alone, and when no other i
ar* before them; or it might be prop
bring it before the Legislature in the
of a petition signed by th* people. We
are opposed to mixing this issue with any
other. If it never made ia Brooks, let it
be anti-whisky direct and whisky streight.”

Ir it ta right for Mr. Stopl,euv to receive

gry because of Republican support—not
even In the8th district,whore it has not been
unusudt fer Republicans to vote for Demo

Th* Jackson Herald makes tbe follow-
ing timely observations: " W# will notify
tbo candidate* who are in the field in this
county for the Legislature, that they had
as well oome out and say wbat they think

people will be satisfied with any suitable
man outside of Colquitt.”

great injustice to tbe "cross-roads debating
society." We have never known any such
society to attemid to palm off on the pub-
Ho any such work as the platform of ths

had to adapt itself, it wen thought, to the
